Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.
Speaker 2: Katty Armstrong and Jetty and know He Armstrong and Guetty
Speaker 2: Strong and.
Speaker 3: Live.
Speaker 2: We're not here. It's the Armstrong and Getty replay.
Speaker 3: But what we have for you is delicious, a collection
Speaker 3: of some of our best stuff.
Speaker 4: You can hear more, of course on our podcast Armstrong
Speaker 4: Eddy on demand and hey, you get through.
Speaker 3: Your Christmas shopping list at the Armstrong and Getdy superstore, shirts,
Speaker 3: hoodies and much more so.
Speaker 2: Now enjoy the Armstrong and Geddy replay.
Speaker 5: I think it's a joke. I looked at the people.
Speaker 5: They're not representative of this country. And I looked at
Speaker 5: all the brand new science paid for. I guess it
Speaker 5: was paid for by sorrows. Another radical level of it
Speaker 5: looks like it was.
Speaker 2: We're checking it out.
Speaker 5: The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people
Speaker 5: who worked up. When you look at those people, those
Speaker 5: are not representative of the people of our country.
Speaker 2: Francis, I'm not a king.
Speaker 6: I'm not a king.
Speaker 5: I work my ass off to make our country great.
Speaker 5: That's all it is.
Speaker 2: I'm not a king at all, exactly what you'd expect
Speaker 2: a king to say.
Speaker 3: Oh, very kingly of you, mister, your highness Trump guy.
Speaker 3: The No King's Rally said to be the biggest demonstrations
Speaker 3: in the United States in the last fifty years, maybe ever,
Speaker 3: and Trump responded to it with mockery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it didn't help. He's weren't a king.
Speaker 4: He had the velvet robe around him, surrounded by knaves. Oh,
Speaker 4: he's very kingly active, got the.
Speaker 3: Crown on flying a fighter jet with the AI video
Speaker 3: that said King Trump and dumping poop on people in
Speaker 3: the streets. It's very kingly. But here's why it's so mockable.
Speaker 3: What was it about, just to generalized we don't like Trump. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we know you've seen the polls. You didn't like Trump
Speaker 3: on Friday, you marched on Saturday, you still didn't like
Speaker 3: Trump on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, like I said.
Speaker 4: Earlier and I will hold to this, protests are way overrated.
Speaker 4: It was a big deal. It may have actually had
Speaker 4: an effect on a major issue in the sixties with
Speaker 4: civil rights, but I'm not sure it's done anything since then.
Speaker 2: I've protester just overrated.
Speaker 3: Right, right, And part of The problem with the no
Speaker 3: so called no King's protest because we don't want a
Speaker 3: damn king.
Speaker 2: Who's with me? Uh? Was that it was it's the
Speaker 2: omni cause.
Speaker 3: It's just every progressive or anti Trump cause that exists
Speaker 3: coming together and shouting, Yeah for us, look it up.
Speaker 3: We're all together and we're yelling together, and this feels
Speaker 3: wonderful and it's so exciting.
Speaker 2: If it was like a single issue.
Speaker 3: And that number of people turned out, you'd have to
Speaker 3: pay attention to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't be mocking it right now.
Speaker 3: If it was we need rent control nationwide, for instance,
Speaker 3: I would be taking that extremely seriously.
Speaker 2: Still don't know how.
Speaker 4: Much it does as opposed to you put that same
Speaker 4: amount of effort into getting people registered to vote weren't
Speaker 4: already registered, or turning out to the polls when you're
Speaker 4: voting on immigrants, for instance, when you're voting when you're
Speaker 4: voting on a particular issue or whatever. I just I
Speaker 4: don't nobody will remember this come midterm. I mean I'm nobody.
Speaker 3: Remember, barely remembered in time for the show, right, I
Speaker 3: had to remind myself.
Speaker 2: Here's speaker Mike Johnson with the.
Speaker 7: Thought the irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone.
Speaker 7: If President Trump was a king, the government would be
Speaker 7: open right now.
Speaker 2: If President Trump was a king, they would.
Speaker 7: Not have been able to engage in that free speech
Speaker 7: exercise out on the mall by the way, which was open,
Speaker 7: because President Trump hasn't closed it. So I mean it's
Speaker 7: they needed a stunt, they needed a show. Chuck Schumer
Speaker 7: has needs cover right now. He's closed the government down
Speaker 7: because he needs political cover, and this was a part
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not fair of us, Jack. I think this.
Speaker 4: I think the smart people probably realize, good, nice giant
Speaker 4: protest a release valve of energy that will not be
Speaker 4: used on anything consequential, right, I'd be happy about that.
Speaker 3: And we'll have every speaker say be sure to donate
Speaker 3: at dem dot gov as well or dem dot org
Speaker 3: or whatever, and so we'll get a great cash hall.
Speaker 3: But it's unfair of us to characterize what these people
Speaker 3: were saying. Michael, give us a forty one forty two
Speaker 3: back to back. We'll let them speak for themselves of bits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why is that? I don't know.
Speaker 6: We don't like him, that's the word around here.
Speaker 8: Any any particular reason why you don't like.
Speaker 6: Him, no clue at all. I'm just going with everybody else.
Speaker 9: Saying, why specifically are you out supporting?
Speaker 2: No stack, I think protest is important, and what's.
Speaker 9: The main reason you're out here? Protest and President Trump?
Speaker 9: You with a lot of the decisions that are being made.
Speaker 9: Is there any decision in particular you disagree with?
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so I I would start with, I don't
Speaker 1: even think it's appropriate for me to have this interview.
Speaker 2: He started to take control and do illegal things.
Speaker 9: So deporting illegal immigrants is that illegal?
Speaker 4: Deporting illegal immigrants if they're here peacefully.
Speaker 10: Yes, give me everybody you can possibly bring into the
Speaker 10: United States.
Speaker 1: Why can't anybody seem to actually kill the president? Because
Speaker 1: no one's been successful and good presidents are dead.
Speaker 4: Now those might look in for instance, those might have
Speaker 4: been five dumbest people out of the seven million the
Speaker 4: protests that I don't know, But says the progressive Jack
Speaker 4: that first guy was. Is he an example of like
Speaker 4: the Dunning Kruger effect, incompetent people don't know they're incompetent.
Speaker 4: Smart people think they know everything about everything. But he,
Speaker 4: I mean his why are you out here? No clue?
Speaker 4: But I'm out here. Are you willing The word around
Speaker 4: here is we don't like Trump. The fact that you're
Speaker 4: willing to say out loud, I have no clue. I'm
Speaker 4: out here knows you don't know. You're incompetent, because that's
Speaker 4: a ridiculous thing to.
Speaker 8: Say, any particular reason why you don't.
Speaker 6: Like him, no clue at all. I'm just going with
Speaker 6: everybody else.
Speaker 4: Saying in fact that he's so so confidently says, no
Speaker 4: clue at all, no idea why I'm here, what a
Speaker 4: thing to.
Speaker 8: Say, any any particular reason why you don't like.
Speaker 6: Him, No clue at all, going with everybody else.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, no idea, no, nope, not even the shred of
Speaker 3: an idea. Nope, not even going to name an issue, never,
Speaker 3: never mind how I stand on it.
Speaker 2: Nope. Uh.
Speaker 3: Here's a Chicago protester. This a little scary forty five.
Speaker 2: You gotta grab a cub.
Speaker 3: We gotta churn around the cons on this fascist system.
Speaker 3: These ice Asians gotta get shot and wiped out, stay.
Speaker 2: The stay machinery.
Speaker 6: That's a fair splay, right there, has to.
Speaker 2: Get wiped out.
Speaker 3: No, I'm sure you're tired of hearing that and seeing
Speaker 3: that on your news, because if that was some sort
Speaker 3: of conservative rally and somebody was saying that it would
Speaker 3: be the present.
Speaker 2: And finally, forty four.
Speaker 3: Here's a middle aged white progressive lady talking to ABC News.
Speaker 2: What brings you out here today?
Speaker 11: Democracy is dying.
Speaker 9: We have to say that.
Speaker 2: Democracy is dying. We have to save that.
Speaker 4: Of course, both sides thinking democracy is dying, but for
Speaker 4: completely different reasons.
Speaker 2: Right right, And Trump won the election.
Speaker 3: Fairly handily and now is instituting the policies he promised
Speaker 3: he would. Now, there are some of those policies I
Speaker 3: think are bad, and you know I say so on
Speaker 3: the air. But the deludedness of it is why it's
Speaker 3: such a joke. All Right, you had your protests, Now
Speaker 3: what take a look around?
Speaker 2: You so tiring? Yeah, I know it really is.
Speaker 3: But it's it's our national obsession with politics that in
Speaker 3: you know, the feminization of America that we're going to
Speaker 3: be talking about more tomorrow. But it just feels so
Speaker 3: good to be among like minded people and telling each
Speaker 3: other you're right, you're right, we're all right, we're all
Speaker 3: in agreement, we're all fighting the evil Orange man. Then
Speaker 3: you go home, having accomplished nada and that's our only
Speaker 3: shared TV show.
Speaker 2: As I keep talking about, right, it is the American
Speaker 2: pastime politics.
Speaker 4: I know a guy, very very nice guy friends, He
Speaker 4: and his family go to all these protests.
Speaker 2: Pick the kids. It's a big thing.
Speaker 6: Name.
Speaker 2: I'll see you out there, you know with the other
Speaker 2: there are other friends. It's a it's a social thing,
Speaker 2: right right.
Speaker 3: I'd love to sit down and talk to them for
Speaker 3: a minute about you know, rent control and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 2: But that's not what it's about.
Speaker 3: It's really it's not about policy, it's not about governance,
Speaker 3: it's not even about personalities. Really, it's just about the
Speaker 3: feeling of togetherness. They in the seventies they called it
Speaker 3: the warm and fuzzy feeling.
Speaker 2: Man. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: When I drove through that protest in my cyber truck,
Speaker 4: I was the bell of the ball. Everybody was paying
Speaker 4: attention to me. I was very exciting for a while.
Speaker 4: My kids were really glad. My windows down and it
Speaker 4: was just everybody was shouting at me, flipping me off,
Speaker 4: or on the other side cheering me nice. The sides
Speaker 4: reversed from what they would have been three years ago.
Speaker 4: Dripping an electric.
Speaker 3: Car, yeah, yeah, you got to get that thing wrapped
Speaker 3: in a flag with some sort of how about Trump
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, with a bald eagle and an American flag.
Speaker 4: I would like my tires to not be slashed. Every
Speaker 4: time I go to get in and drive somewhere, I'd
Speaker 4: have to carry like twenty spare tires in the bed
Speaker 4: of my truck, like every time I stop at the
Speaker 4: mall or the school or anywhere, to have to put
Speaker 4: on new tires every trip.
Speaker 3: I was going to tell you to move out of
Speaker 3: your communist hell hole, but virtually everywhere you go there's
Speaker 3: that one one to forty percent of activists to get
Speaker 3: so fired up and think they're so justified they would
Speaker 3: slash your tires.
Speaker 2: People are so angry at me. What do you want
Speaker 2: me to do?
Speaker 3: I tried to big German car. You'd think anti fascists
Speaker 3: would be healing at me, right.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Joe Podcasts, and our hot
Speaker 1: links The Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty Show.
Speaker 12: The shooter evidently raises chickens, and the conversation was about
Speaker 12: how many eggs a chicken can lay. One victim ran
Speaker 12: out into the roadway trying to get away from the shooter.
Speaker 12: The other two victims hid. We had several phone calls.
Speaker 12: The shooter himself called nine to one one. Arming yourself
Speaker 12: with a handgun when you're under the influence is not
Speaker 12: a good idea.
Speaker 2: There's never going to be a good outcome with that.
Speaker 4: Oh, under the influence. Well that's explained some of it.
Speaker 4: I guess how you got into a to the death
Speaker 4: argument about how many eggs a chicken can lay under
Speaker 4: the influence played a role.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not made clear in this account, and
Speaker 3: I find this highly dissatisfying. Is who is claiming what
Speaker 3: reed chicken egg laying matcha lay one hundred eggs a day? No,
Speaker 3: it can't buy, buy buy, it's lucky if it lays
Speaker 3: one a day? What I ought to shoot you in
Speaker 3: your belly? Who was on which side of the argument?
Speaker 3: What were the claims and counterclaims here? What was the
Speaker 3: evidence presented? So this is interesting. Using your credit card
Speaker 3: at the checkout line is about to get a lot
Speaker 3: more complicated. Now Visa and MasterCards settled a long running
Speaker 3: legal battle that gives merchants more flexibility on card acceptance.
Speaker 3: So your favorite latte at your local coffee shop could
Speaker 3: soon cost you five dollars or five dollars and ten
Speaker 3: cents or five dollars in twenty five cents, depending on
Speaker 3: how you pay.
Speaker 4: So, first of all, when did we completely abandon having
Speaker 4: to show an ID with a credit card? Remember that
Speaker 4: was the thing for many, many years, because we're sign anything.
Speaker 4: What if this wasn't your credit card? But now I
Speaker 4: use my watch. I tapped with my watch all the time.
Speaker 4: Nobody's ever asked me for an ID.
Speaker 3: So anyway, settlement between Visa MasterCard and some US merchants
Speaker 3: US Merchants announced this week usher in a new era
Speaker 3: of tiered pricing at the register, giving businesses more power
Speaker 3: to charge fees depending on the credit card you use.
Speaker 4: I think it when I'm behind some old lady who's
Speaker 4: got a combination of a check and some EBT card
Speaker 4: and like some coupons, and I don't know, I've been
Speaker 4: a gift card and combining like five different things.
Speaker 2: Can I just pay for it all and then you
Speaker 2: get the hell out of my way?
Speaker 3: Trying to trade in some shiny shells, a little farder,
Speaker 3: a little womp them.
Speaker 4: Maybe I can come clean up on Saturday, and now
Speaker 4: wouldn't that pay for the milk?
Speaker 3: So this anti trust battle over interchange fees has been
Speaker 3: going on for two decades and I can't decide whether
Speaker 3: that makes me wish I had become a lawyer, because
Speaker 3: oh my god, you talk about you know, two farmers
Speaker 3: claim they owned the cow. One farmer pulled on the head,
Speaker 3: the other pulled on the tail, and the lawyer milk
Speaker 3: the cow. They may milking this cow for two decades.
Speaker 3: Settlement still needs CORD approval, likely to be contested by
Speaker 3: some merchant groups.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Merchants have always had the right to refuse to do
Speaker 3: business with a payment network entirely, like Costco only takes
Speaker 3: Visa cards yep, But current network rules say if a
Speaker 3: store accepts one Visa credit card, it has to accept
Speaker 3: all Visa credit cards. Well, the settlement could change that
Speaker 3: practice by allowing merchants to pick and choose which categories
Speaker 3: of cards to accept within network.
Speaker 4: There's also the dollar limit that I don't know if
Speaker 4: there's any legality around it, but like I buy something,
Speaker 4: they say you can only use your card if you
Speaker 4: spent eight dollars or something, and then I got to
Speaker 4: grab something else?
Speaker 2: What else you got? Okay, a cigarette lighter? I don't smoke?
Speaker 2: Is this make it eight dollars?
Speaker 3: Wow? And the settlement could go further, allowing different search
Speaker 3: charges depending on the category your card falls into, Like
Speaker 3: if you have a basic no frills card, you might
Speaker 3: get charged two and a half percent of the transaction amount.
Speaker 3: It's the reverse of a cash discount, whereas if you
Speaker 3: have a rewards card it's three percent. Really, you really
Speaker 3: wouldn't know what you're paying until you're paying it.
Speaker 2: Paying cash just seems so troublesome. You made me change
Speaker 2: and then where am I going to put that?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Track of that?
Speaker 3: And then this story a man in France was having
Speaker 3: a swimming pool dug in his backyard and they found
Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars worth of gold bars whoa.
Speaker 3: Town council confirmed the man will be allowed to keep
Speaker 3: the gold he found, according to the French News news agency,
Speaker 3: five gold bars and a large amount of gold coins
Speaker 3: wrapped in plastic bags. The man, who wishes to remain
Speaker 3: anonymous for reasons that ought to be fairly obvious, reported
Speaker 3: define to the local council, French archaeological officials and law
Speaker 3: enforcement got involved in determined if the gold had been
Speaker 3: if the gold had archaeological significance, in which case it
Speaker 3: could be considered state property, or if it was stolen
Speaker 3: from somewhere and the gold bars had unique ID numbers.
Speaker 3: Law enforcement determined the gold was not stolen and the
Speaker 3: bars were only fifteen to twenty years old, and so
Speaker 3: they had no historical significance, so the guy got to
Speaker 3: keep the money. My daughter, who's in law school right now,
Speaker 3: became at one point fascinated by the law of abandoned property,
Speaker 3: which is fairly complicated and convoluted because and I don't
Speaker 3: remember the details of it, but like, if somebody sells
Speaker 3: you a house and it's left on the property, I
Speaker 3: think they have a claim to it still, But if
Speaker 3: you then sell the house and the next guy they
Speaker 3: don't have a claim against him or a certain number
Speaker 3: of years, is super convoluted and interesting.
Speaker 2: And anybody who's like a scavenger or.
Speaker 3: What do you call when you do that at sea
Speaker 3: you reclaim rex and stuff like that. There's all sorts
Speaker 3: of laws surrounding that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just thinking we should do away with
Speaker 4: change in general, shouldn't We did away with the penny,
Speaker 4: but with inflation, change is not worth much, so you're
Speaker 4: down less than a dollar, which is like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: forty cents compared to what it was ten years ago.
Speaker 4: And I'd be fine with stores that just don't do change.
Speaker 2: They round up or down for everything. We'll just make
Speaker 2: it even.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'd always round up. I think there would be
Speaker 3: an investigation shortly after whatever. It's thirty cents. I don't
Speaker 3: want to carry around some nickels and pennies. How about
Speaker 3: this Daddy Warbucks. Poor people frequently don't have credit cards
Speaker 3: and need to do transactions in cash, and therefore we
Speaker 3: must have change.
Speaker 4: And that's not what I see at the convenience store.
Speaker 4: Usually have some sort of government card for the scratchers vaping.
Speaker 2: And energy drink.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I try to stay away from poor people because
Speaker 3: I'm afraid it might be catching.
Speaker 2: But that was a joke.
Speaker 3: That was a joke, friends, just jokey and silly. These
Speaker 3: are serious times, confusing, dark, threatening times. Just trying to
Speaker 3: have a little fun.
Speaker 1: Strong the Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris has been doing her ill advised train wreck
Speaker 3: of a book tour one and seven days.
Speaker 2: If I'd have just had a couple more days.
Speaker 3: In terms of herridiculousness. Who do you think is winning
Speaker 3: the race to be the most ridiculous, KJP or Kamala?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I pretty hard to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, anyway, So we're going to play a head
Speaker 3: full of clips of an interview Kamala did with an
Speaker 3: Australian news outlet. The first clip, it's the is not
Speaker 3: the payoff, but it sets the tone for what follows.
Speaker 2: So we'll go ahead and get started.
Speaker 13: Michael, wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him?
Speaker 13: Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason
Speaker 13: that you faced a nearly impossible task.
Speaker 14: I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump
Speaker 14: ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe,
Speaker 14: misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe
Speaker 14: that there are a fair number of people that voted
Speaker 14: for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them
Speaker 14: that his first priority on day one is going to
Speaker 14: be to bring down prices, and he didn't. And you
Speaker 14: combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was that
Speaker 14: play in terms of massive amounts of misinteristance for me?
Speaker 4: All right, I see where this is going, seeing as
Speaker 4: how she didn't even come close to answering the question
Speaker 4: is I've always it's funny these callbacks because I hadn't
Speaker 4: heard her in a while. That tone she takes what
Speaker 4: happened was I'm about to lay a truth bomb on you.
Speaker 4: That's just going to knock you out of your shoes,
Speaker 4: and then she never does. And the other advantage the
Speaker 4: Aussie gal.
Speaker 3: Has is that she has no awe for the second
Speaker 3: in command of the American government.
Speaker 2: Just as if I was interviewing the Vice Premiere.
Speaker 3: Or whatever the position would be of Australia, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: give a damn.
Speaker 2: It'd be like, no, I'm asking you the questions I
Speaker 2: want to ask. I've boxed kangaroos. Do you think I'm
Speaker 2: scared of you? Oh? Riichy, it rolls on now, forgive me.
Speaker 13: And I wanted a calendar in terms of yes, the clerk,
Speaker 13: I want to interrupt you, because that is a world
Speaker 13: class pivot. But it is not the question that I
Speaker 13: asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize
Speaker 13: his own frailties and what that did to you. The
Speaker 13: question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to
Speaker 13: criticize the former.
Speaker 11: President in what regard?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 13: Well, just in terms of that question, so you went exactly.
Speaker 14: Would you like to ask be more specific if you
Speaker 14: don't mind.
Speaker 13: Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his
Speaker 13: own frailties in that position that put you in the
Speaker 13: position that made it almost impossible to win that race?
Speaker 11: He was not frail as president of the United States,
Speaker 11: but he had frailties. We all saw the debate.
Speaker 14: I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to
Speaker 14: be president of the United States, and I have never
Speaker 14: doubted that he had the capacity to be president of
Speaker 14: the United States.
Speaker 11: If you want to talk.
Speaker 14: About whether he had the ability to endure what a
Speaker 14: race for president of the United States would require in
Speaker 14: that political environment in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 11: As I've said in the book, I had concern.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she goes with that angle with John Stewart. What're
Speaker 2: you going to play that clip a little bit?
Speaker 4: I love the first of all, I love the what
Speaker 4: go ahead, ask your specific question. I have asked a
Speaker 4: specific question, very specific several times. Now you're not answering it,
Speaker 4: but she and then then when she goes into that
Speaker 4: tone of the how dare you question his his competence
Speaker 4: sort of tone that she always has, what are you?
Speaker 2: How does she think that's working on anybody? Hilarious? It
Speaker 2: didn't even work on Democrats.
Speaker 4: Prior to the debate, most did the majority of Democrats
Speaker 4: wanted him to not run.
Speaker 2: How does she think at this point? I mean, this
Speaker 2: is when did she do this interview? Anyway?
Speaker 4: Recently the report came out Monday, that report we talked
Speaker 4: about earlier where it talks about the Secretary of State
Speaker 4: Anthony Blincoln, his chief of staff. They were all having
Speaker 4: conversations with Joe Biden saying you shouldn't run again?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: And who does she think? This is? Landing? All right? Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, let's roll on.
Speaker 13: Is that I'm just wondering, is there a reason why
Speaker 13: you won't go to that prolonged frailty question? No, we
Speaker 13: saw the debate, We saw the difficulty he had marshaling his.
Speaker 11: Head answered that question. I do not believe.
Speaker 13: I think it's just hard watching the debate to see
Speaker 13: how there could not be a problem long term with
Speaker 13: someone who can't marshal their thoughts I'm not saying his
Speaker 13: acuity wasn't present.
Speaker 14: In the book, And I also mentioned the context in
Speaker 14: which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how I
Speaker 14: talked about that in terms of what his travel schedule
Speaker 14: had been, that what he had been enduring in terms
Speaker 14: of the timing of that debate. I can talk about
Speaker 14: it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away from that.
Speaker 14: So I wrote it in the book because I do
Speaker 14: know it's a question people had.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she is something else wow, utterly charisma
Speaker 4: free and unwilling to answer any question about anything.
Speaker 2: Ever.
Speaker 3: Does Joe Biden have pictures of her like whipping a
Speaker 3: child or something.
Speaker 4: No, it's not that, because she can't answer a question
Speaker 4: about anything that has nothing to do with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: She just she.
Speaker 4: It's Mark Halpern's knock on her has been from the beginning.
Speaker 4: She is the most cautious politician I've ever met. He
Speaker 4: always says, she just is not. She's gonna hedge on
Speaker 4: every question to leave herself wiggle room because she's just
Speaker 4: incredibly scared of getting nailed down on even an easy position.
Speaker 3: She's not bright enough to realize which ones are worth saying,
Speaker 3: and which ones aren't I guess.
Speaker 2: Because she has no confidence.
Speaker 4: She probably has one no like actual ideology positions, and
Speaker 4: then she has no confidence to back it up if
Speaker 4: anybody questions or any further, Remember what were we voting
Speaker 4: on on election day? Also in California the whole Do
Speaker 4: we want to start putting criminals back in jail again?
Speaker 4: When like eighty percent of Californians agreed we shouldn't have
Speaker 4: passed overwhelmingly, and.
Speaker 2: She wouldn't take a stance on it. I don't think
Speaker 2: there's your Democrats run face.
Speaker 4: Yes, it passed in a blue, blue state on a
Speaker 4: day when everybody was turning out to vote for her.
Speaker 4: She wouldn't come out and say, she said, I don't
Speaker 4: think it'd be proper for me to weigh on this.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Because so she's just too cautious. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna do the John Stewart stop. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I don't know what all this explains number forty five,
Speaker 4: but whatever is not in there I will.
Speaker 2: Fill in right.
Speaker 14: Yeah, No, I'm not talking about confidence at all. No,
Speaker 14: I believe he was fully competent to serve. Do you
Speaker 14: really Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: That surprises me. Actually, no, I do.
Speaker 14: But there's a distinction to be made between running for
Speaker 14: president and being a prespect.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's when she gets into the thing and that
Speaker 4: she was referencing with the Australian.
Speaker 2: Interviewer.
Speaker 4: She says this in the book, and then she says
Speaker 4: this anytime anybody brings it up, that running for president
Speaker 4: is like running a marathon while people are throwing tomatoes
Speaker 4: at you. It's very difficult. Things are coming at you
Speaker 4: very fast from many directions. It's exhausting. And John Stewart's
Speaker 4: reply is, and it's a good one, is Yeah, being
Speaker 4: president is like running a marathon with people throwing tomatoes
Speaker 4: at you and lots of things coming at you really fast.
Speaker 4: And you're saying you think he was able to do that? Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: I do. I think he was up to the job.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's insane. It is you. You can't get
Speaker 4: away with any of this. But at least you got
Speaker 4: some tiny bit of cover to say he was okay
Speaker 4: being president at that time. Yeah, not a lot, but
Speaker 4: maybe I'll take your word for it that maybe you
Speaker 4: thought he was up to the but claiming he could
Speaker 4: be president for another four years, you're into insaneville.
Speaker 3: Well right, yeah, and that whole dodge that running for
Speaker 3: president is way harder than being president.
Speaker 2: Number one, it's hard.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's hard in a different way, but number one,
Speaker 3: being president is really, really, really hard. So I'm not
Speaker 3: sure that matters even if it's true. And secondly, the
Speaker 3: guy won in twenty twenty by hiding in his basement.
Speaker 3: He hardly campaigned at all, and he didn't have the
Speaker 3: power of the incumbency, so he could have run a
Speaker 3: you know, a low key doing video address from the
Speaker 3: White House. I'm so busy, I'm sorry, I can't be
Speaker 3: there in person type campaign.
Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous. I can't believe.
Speaker 4: John Stewart's forceful reply was John Stuarts, who's more of
Speaker 4: a mainstream Democrat. You think he'd be more like Bill
Speaker 4: Maher and say you're nuts, you're nuts. That's a ridiculous
Speaker 4: thing to say that he was capable of being president.
Speaker 2: We could all see that he wasn't.
Speaker 4: Poles showed that Democrats and majority of Democrats didn't think
Speaker 4: he was capable of being president before the debate.
Speaker 2: So why are you continuing to go around making this claim?
Speaker 2: Who's that for?
Speaker 3: Who sits there awestruck with respect for Kamala Harrison, and
Speaker 3: so I must say, I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 4: What a tepid response to a blatant either lie or
Speaker 4: you're a complete moron.
Speaker 2: And I'm not exactly sure which it is.
Speaker 4: That other excuse she uses all the time of I'm
Speaker 4: explained in the book about how his travel schedule is
Speaker 4: very difficult. He'd flown Alacronsol World and he had that
Speaker 4: much sleep and he had a cold.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, guess what.
Speaker 4: When you're president, you're gonna have a very busy schedule also,
Speaker 4: and every now and then you're gonna get a cold.
Speaker 4: So if China attacks Taiwan, we have to say hold
Speaker 4: off on your attacking Taiwan. The presidents have a cold,
Speaker 4: and he just got back from Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: He's very tired, right, Yeah, it's just ridiculous now that
Speaker 3: in John's defense, I don't know what the follow up
Speaker 3: was because that was a very short clip that was
Speaker 3: apparently an interview conducted at a rave. I don't know
Speaker 3: why I had disco music in the background, but yeah,
Speaker 3: what a joke. And then she goes to audiences and
Speaker 3: or does a live address and the MC asks, now,
Speaker 3: are you thinking about running? And she says, I've said
Speaker 3: I'm not done yet. The crowd Yay, what a few
Speaker 3: people not gotten.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's unfortunate she's not going to
Speaker 4: actually be able to run, even if she plans to,
Speaker 4: because I'd like it to run, because I think it'd
Speaker 4: be fun. She would humiliate herself even more. There's gonna
Speaker 4: be zero dollars because smart people with lots of money
Speaker 4: who donate to candidates, they're hearing this crap. And when
Speaker 4: they hear her say to John Stewart, yeah, I think
Speaker 4: he could have run. He could have been president for
Speaker 4: four more years. Okay, I'm not giving you any damn money.
Speaker 5: Well, it is what it is because he is who
Speaker 5: he is.
Speaker 6: That's why it is what it is.
Speaker 4: Because at some point, Oh, I want to mention this.
Speaker 4: Josh Shapiro laid a little groundwork a couple of days
Speaker 4: ago around the whole You know, I was never around
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, so I didn't see the things other people saw.
Speaker 4: Laying a little ground wore for going after Kamala Harris
Speaker 4: or whoever else might run that was in the administration,
Speaker 4: for saying this person who knew what Joe Biden was
Speaker 4: like allowed us to lose to Donald Trump by keeping
Speaker 4: it a secret.
Speaker 2: He's gonna do that.
Speaker 3: Next He'll start making vague references to well, I haven't
Speaker 3: turned Pennsylvania into a crap hole full of junkies. So anyway,
Speaker 3: I'm proud of the work we've done here, right, and
Speaker 3: Gavi'll flinch visibly.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 4: I am stunned by the fact that she's gonna continue.
Speaker 4: It's to claim that he was okay to be president
Speaker 4: for four more years. He wasn't claim he wasn't capable
Speaker 4: at the time, right, Yeah, Now, what is going on there?
Speaker 2: She's a halflip, is it?
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's because if she gives an inch
Speaker 4: on that, Yeah, this is it. Probably if she gives
Speaker 4: even an an inch. Oh, you don't think he was
Speaker 4: capable for four more years? At what point did you
Speaker 4: realize the guy running for president couldn't be president for
Speaker 4: four more years? And why didn't you say anything? That's
Speaker 4: the next question.
Speaker 3: And that's a different Fana liked it after that, and
Speaker 3: then I've been the president.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty voice. Are you busy lately? Later lately,
Speaker 4: that've been good. If I said, lady, that was a
Speaker 4: good punchline has written, yeah, flat bat, that voice is charming.
Speaker 4: You practically have me in bed already.
Speaker 10: Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getdy Show, Jack
Speaker 10: Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3: So this is an Arkansas cop has pulled over the
Speaker 3: driver of a big rig. Okay, we've been talking now
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks about this rash of states
Speaker 3: that are handing out commercial driver's licenses to immigrants. Sometimes
Speaker 3: illegals who can't speak or read English can't pass the
Speaker 3: tests and are killing people on America's highways. The one
Speaker 3: thing to note in this is will become clear the
Speaker 3: driver in question has a bit of a wardrobe difficulty
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 2: Why are you park here?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I'm talking at the hour? Do you understand English? Why
Speaker 2: did you park here?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, no good? I'm officer heading's Arkansas Highway Police. I
Speaker 2: need your driver's license.
Speaker 6: Is there anybody else in the truck?
Speaker 2: Your company? Okay, you don't understand English?
Speaker 9: Put you some clothes on, paints, push your paints on,
Speaker 9: put your paints on.
Speaker 2: Paints, put some paints on. Yeah, yeah, okay, you don't
Speaker 2: understand English. What company do you work for?
Speaker 3: Uh uh?
Speaker 2: Your company is called California. Yeah, yeah, you don't understand me. Okay,
Speaker 2: I love that California. It's all I need to say.
Speaker 4: Oh California where they give out driver's licenses to commercial
Speaker 4: truck drivers piloting gazillion ton weapons of death to anybody,
Speaker 4: whether you're from this country or not, whether you speak
Speaker 4: English or not. That's fantastic and so sartorial. California state
Speaker 4: flag has been unleash jack. It was the bear, of course,
Speaker 4: and then it was the unicorn for cal Unicornia. Now
Speaker 4: it's a pantless Asian illegal immigrant commercial truck driver sitting
Speaker 4: with his drawers visible in the cab of a truck
Speaker 4: the new California flag.
Speaker 2: Now, is there anything on towured going on?
Speaker 4: Or is he just parked someplace he shouldn't park to
Speaker 4: climb in his sleeper and sleep. Then you know, I
Speaker 4: take my pants off to sleep too. He was parked
Speaker 4: dangerously close to a land of the highway, right, and
Speaker 4: probably amount of time as.
Speaker 3: An immigrant who cannot speak nor read English, which is
Speaker 3: absolutely required for commercial truck drivers.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 4: The reason he was parked someplace you shouldn't park when
Speaker 4: you're pulling over your truck to sleep. Is he had
Speaker 4: no training or you know, because how could you possibly
Speaker 4: have any training because he didn't take the test or
Speaker 4: pass it. I like, how many of these people, including
Speaker 4: that guy who killed a bunch of people the other day,
Speaker 4: have flunked the test over and over and over again,
Speaker 4: so that there's a lot of people that should be
Speaker 4: on the hook of that. Obviously, the state of Washington
Speaker 4: and California or whatever states are given out these driver's licenses.
Speaker 4: How about these companies that are probably bribing politicians to
Speaker 4: push for let us hire drivers from other countries because
Speaker 4: we can pay him nothing, versus hire having to hire
Speaker 4: somebody from you know, inside the United States who speaks English.
Speaker 2: And can actually pass the test. So there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people on the hook for this. Yeah, yeah, no kidding, lawlessness.
Speaker 4: It's not like these trucking companies don't know that they're
Speaker 4: employing people that can't speak or read English at all.
Speaker 2: You'd find that out.
Speaker 3: As you remember, we got that email from galen Uba City, California,
Speaker 3: which has become this giant trucking center, and there are
Speaker 3: a bunch of Indian families who own trucking companies that
Speaker 3: apploy employee immigrants, some of whom have documents, some of
Speaker 3: whom don't, some of whom can speak English, some of
Speaker 3: whom cannot. And there have been all sorts of problems.
Speaker 3: It's it's a huge problem in the trucking industry right now.
Speaker 3: And you know, in California at least, which is your recall,
Speaker 3: was that Fine Fellows trucking company. They're handing them out
Speaker 3: like you know, like I don't know, freebies at the costco.
Speaker 2: Put your paints on, paints, put some paints on.
Speaker 4: I like the police going with the classic. I'll see
Speaker 4: it slower and louder to see if somehow although he had.
Speaker 3: To pat his pants and point at him pants el
Speaker 3: TROUSERSO the guys Asian Spanish isn't gonna help. I can
