Yeah, yep, yep, yep, 15 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: yep ye.

You're like, uh, You're like Trump, You're 18 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: closing dark, closing dark for some reason coming up this morning, Hanson. 19 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: Just before we went on, Hanson alerted me to a 20 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: clip that one of the biggest celebrities in the world 21 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: went with the closing argument of if you don't vote 22 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: for Harris, we'll never have another election. All right, yeah, 23 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: I mean hair, go ahead, didn't your thought? No? I 24 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: just I can't even go ahead, Michael, why not? If 25 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: we don't show. 26 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: Up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not 27 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: have the opportunity to. 28 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: Ever cast a ballot. Freaking kidding, that's that's Oprah that 29 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you said, celebrity, I thought, okay, singer, whatever you know. 30 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: So some singer says that, fine, it's dumb freaking Oprah 31 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: said that she's a smart person. Come on, Oprah. Come then, 32 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: when there's blood running in the streets and assassination attempts 33 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: and the rest of it, they say, it's not my fault. 34 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: I didn't say anything, And that's just what a dumb 35 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: thing to say. So I was taken a ton of 36 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: media yesterday and I will again today because it's what 37 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: I like to do. I enjoyed it. But I was 38 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: listening to the National Review podcast, which was really good yesterday, 39 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: and Rich Lowry of the National Review made the point 40 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: that people say this is the most divided we've ever been. 41 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: That's not true. We've been divided many times before, but 42 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: we've never been this divided and stupid. This is the 43 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: stupidest divided election we've ever had. By foar, that is 44 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: a unique situation, and there's no doubt that that is true. Well, 45 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: when we've been divided before, we've been very divided over 46 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: very consequential, particular issues that people were battling about. This 47 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: is just you know, dumb stuff. Who said trash or 48 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: you know who has celebrities or whatever. It's just it's dumb. 49 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Our politics are dumber than they've ever been, and there 50 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: is no way you can argue that that's not true. 51 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: It's profoundly discouraging. I have had to medicate myself heavily 52 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: to even appear to do my job for the last 53 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: six months. I haven't talked about this, but yes, I 54 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: am using a variety of stimulants value of the trenk 55 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: to get out of sp just to get out of 56 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: bed in the morning. Yeah, I generally I snort meth 57 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: and wash it down with a couple of red bulls 58 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: just to get off of my emotional deathbed, just to 59 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: face the day. Will you allow any information whatsoever. I 60 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: believe yesterday in the promo you basically said you wouldn't 61 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: allow any information to know. There will be no discussion, 62 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: no consideration of any voting trends, developments, nothing. Most of 63 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: it is stupid. So you've always we've done many election 64 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: shows over the years which are painful. Oh like when 65 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: we come in in the evening, Yeah, yeah, and Jozoi's 66 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: en requested by some news giant station. Can you guys 67 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: come in and commentate and stuff? And Joey's always liked 68 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: joe has always liked making a big deal out of 69 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: what three percent returns. So and So's ahead by seventy 70 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: five percent, seventy five percent, they've clearly got it locked up. 71 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: But it's just, you know, it's dumb. It's dumb to 72 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: look at the voting coming in county by county, district 73 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: by district and draw any conclusions. It's just dumb. And 74 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: then having conversations around it. The when when twenty percent 75 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: of ballots or absent he or mailed in or whatever, 76 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: it was dumb. Now yeah, forty five percent or whatever 77 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: the number happens to me is it's it's it's beyond dumb. Yeah, yeah, 78 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: it's most likely going to be over half of the 79 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: votes are already in, which I think, well, it depends 80 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: on when people sent them in, because in some places 81 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: have been voting for a month. But and they're a 82 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: variable state by state on how they count them and 83 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: how quickly they count them and the rest of us. 84 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't think Trump particularly closed well in the last 85 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: several days. But if half the ballot's already in, that 86 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: doesn't make any difference. But here's a number that Mark 87 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: Alpern on his zoom cast was making a big deal 88 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: out of yesterday, and it's a real number. So early 89 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: voting in Pennsylvania went down by a million. A million 90 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: fewer early ballots came in than last time around, and 91 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: it's almost all Democrats. The reduction in the number of Democrats. Yeah, okay, 92 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: it's almost entirely Democrats. Yeah, okay, I just want to 93 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: make sure it was the direction the voters. The Republican 94 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: numbers stayed about the same, the Republican the Democratic number 95 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: went way down, unless you think, I mean he actually 96 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: said it's very, very difficult to imagine how Kamala Harris 97 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: wins Pennsylvania with these numbers. That just came out like, 98 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: that's so funny. You have to believe that. What's funny 99 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: about it? Oh? I just cram like a maniac before 100 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: the show, and I read a couple of my favorite 101 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: commentators saying, Yeah, it really looks good for Harris. The 102 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: independents have been flowing her way in the last week. 103 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: Well on the early voting, Well, I think this is real. 104 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't think this is BS at all. I think 105 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: this is real. You have to know that's that's the number. 106 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: You have to make a weird case for how she 107 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: overcomes that that all of a sudden, for some reason, 108 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: for the first time really ever, Democrats have decided that 109 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: they want to vote on election day and not early 110 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: voting because they are always the been the early vote leaders. 111 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: And unless that flipped for some weird reason, and it's 112 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: hard to imagine what that would be, it's really, really 113 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: hard to figure out how she's gonna win Pennsylvania. And 114 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: if she doesn't win Pennsylvania, it's damned hard for her 115 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: to win the presidency. She's got to pick up a 116 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: whole bunch of those Sun Belt states that she's not 117 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: leading in. So there you go. I think I think 118 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: that's a real piece of information. Speaking of early voting, Jack, 119 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: there is aults are in from tiny Dixville, Notch, New Hampshire. 120 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Is it just me or does Dixville not sound like 121 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: a euphemism for ladies private dogs? Sorry? Sorry it does. 122 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: But the vote was tied three to three, Jack, Sharon, 123 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: it's the closest election that our lifetloves. Sharon Stone uncrossed 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: her legs and we saw her Dixville Notch. Oh, is 125 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: that what you're saying? This is uh, yes, Katie. I 126 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: was hoping that you were compiled with the noose or something, 127 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: so go ahead. 128 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say it wasn't just Dixville, it 129 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 4: was tiny Dixville. 130 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: But then that's right, tiny Dixville, Notch. That's a very 131 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: good point, says the woman wearing her hot Dogs are 132 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Dogs Armstrong, You giddy. That's a good looking t shirt. 133 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: That is a good looking and it's a comfortable t shirt. 134 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: And if Trump wins, that issue will play a role, 135 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Oh, we should start to show 136 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: officially and get into some of the transgender madness. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, 137 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: of course, absolutely, we should start to show officially before 138 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: we get in trouble with the FCC that might be 139 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: run by Democrats soon and they'll proably shut us down. Personally, 140 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: I feel if Trump doesn't win, we'll never have another election. 141 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is. 142 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: I looked at my watch to check the date.

We need more data. Of course, 170 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 5: there's East Canton. East Canton, of course, runs east of Canton, 171 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 5: which is just east of Masalon, and then Masalon's north 172 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 5: of nev Never, and we all know these are Republican hotspots. 173 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: Perry Heights. 174 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 5: Biden exiting polls say that the six twenty seven is 175 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 5: backed up here all the way down to seventy seven. 176 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: I never stopped talking. I was told to keep talking. 177 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: Never stopped talking. Keep moving the map, Keep you moving 178 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: the map. That's as funny as the first time I 179 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: heard it. Yeah, and you'll see all those people on 180 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: cable news tonight doing that and uh yeah, a lot 181 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: of sound and fury signifying nothing until you have the 182 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: results come in one no one. I don't know why 183 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: that's killing killing me. We're Hamilton. What's the duel with Washington? 184 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, everybody knows that. One other interesting piece of information, 185 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: there seems to be a conventional wisdom growing that most 186 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: of the states that are close are going to break 187 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: one way or the other for similar reasons. So it's 188 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: not going to be like the swing states split four 189 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: to three or something like that. They're probably gonna go 190 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: six or seven to one direction. Probably. I have heard 191 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: wise and benevolent humans say similar things. But I just 192 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: feel like the one sure loser tomorrow one way or 193 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: the other is going to be conventional wisdom on a 194 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: lot of scores, just because it's just I don't know. 195 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: I can't. I don't have it in me to speculate, 196 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: no matter how good the data. Although that that Pennsylvania 197 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: voters number was shocking. I mean, that's that's that's a mountain, 198 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: not a molehill. Uh yeah, I think so. How does 199 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: mailbag look, it's very good, very amusing. We have much 200 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: on the way to talk about, and you can join 201 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: us on the text line anytime you want. For one five, 202 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: two NINEFTC. I think it's interesting for the first time 203 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: in my life that I've got several shows I'm gonna 204 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: watch an election night, and none of them are on 205 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: my television. Oh yeah, they're all online destinations with various 206 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: news things, people sources. That's probably the future. But most 207 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: young people would probably say, yeah, who turns on their TV? 208 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: Old man, it's probably what anybody under thirty would think. Yeah, 209 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: I just hmmm, yeah, I think I'll probably do both, 210 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: come to think of it. I want to see the map, 211 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: the electoral maps. I like a good map. I'm afraid 212 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: the online people won't have good maps. Do they have 213 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: good maps? Yes they do. Oh okay, well there you go. 214 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: Here are several freedom loving quotes of the day, beginning 215 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: with one Winston S. Churchill, The best argument against democracy 216 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Oh 217 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: my god. Wow. Moving on, there's a reason the world's 218 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: oldest democracy is only a couple one hundred years old. Yes, yes, 219 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: moving on to two of my favorites from my hero 220 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: hl Menken. Democracy is the theory that the common people 221 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: know what they want and deserve to get it good 222 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: and hard, and then finally this and this has been 223 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: cited many times in recent years, and will be cited 224 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: either way it goes. Today, as democracy is perfected, the 225 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: office of the president represents more and more closely the 226 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, 227 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's 228 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: desire at last, and the White House will be adorned 229 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: by a downright moron who said that hl Menken Wow Wow, 230 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: in his famous on politics, A Carnival of Buncom a 231 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: charming note of history. Buncom, a synonym for bull crap 232 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: or fraud, came from Buncombe County, North Carolina, which was 233 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: recently devastated by the hurricane, known one hundred and twenty 234 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: years ago for being utterly corrupt politically. You know, the 235 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: often quoted to the point that I roll my eyes 236 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: anytime anybody quotes it. Benjamin Franklin coming out of the 237 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: Constitutional Convention, for some reason strikes me today as more 238 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: apt than usual. What have you brought us, doctor Franklin? 239 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: A democracy if you can keep it again. I usually 240 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: roll my eyes when people hit that at this point 241 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: in my life, but he was right. That might be 242 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: the most important quote of all the founding fathers, and 243 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: that just I don't think people can for very long 244 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: once they kind of figure out the game or get 245 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: comfortable enough or whatever. Yeah, don't please don't write it's 246 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: it's he said, republic. I believe close enough, same idea, 247 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: same idea. Yeah, uh yeah, yeah, well yeah, I think 248 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: your point about democracies don't last. I mean compared to 249 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: other forms of government, which are horrible and cruel and 250 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: not to be desired on any level. No democracy, tough thing. 251 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: Democracy is by far the best form of government. But 252 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: the people have to give a crap and like really care, 253 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: and at some point you cross the line. Modern media 254 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: doesn't help, so we will see. Moving along, Charles Bukowski, 255 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that 256 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: in a democracy you vote first and take orders later. 257 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: In a dictatorship, you don't have to waste your time voting. 258 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: Ah that's the drunken Yeah. Bukowski a better drinker than 259 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: the appraiser of political systems. But I see his point. Yeah, so, 260 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: oh boy, let's end with this one. And I do 261 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: want to get to one email, but we don't really 262 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: have time to more hours. Well, I mean, in this segment, 263 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: quit yelling at me, Lincoln, elections belong to the people. 264 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: It's their decision. If they decide to turn their backs 265 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will 266 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: just have to sit on their blisters, one of Lincoln's 267 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: lesser quotes. But elections have consequences. Man, there we go. 268 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: They giddy up a single an election for a single 269 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: human shouldn't have this much consequence though, absolutely the system 270 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: wasn't designed to do that. But we've decided that that's 271 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: the way we want to look at it. Yeah, yeah, 272 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if Ben Franklin were to rise from the grave, 273 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: his specter haunt the land, he would say, what are 274 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: you doing? You gave the chief executive, he's just supposed 275 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: to be the what. 276 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 2: Have you done? 277 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: Right? We'll catch you up on some of the news 278 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: of the day. Well, I almost tease something that Joe 279 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: would get angry about, so I didn't stay tuned. Careful 280 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: you I'm watching you. Armstrong and Getty, the fan. 281 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: Led group Swiftiest for Kama held a pop event over 282 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 6: the weekend in Philadelphia to encourage people to make a 283 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 6: plan to vote, because if anyone knows how to make 284 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 6: a plan, it's people who have to buy concert tickets 285 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 6: three years in advance. 286 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: So, speaking of Swifties, Taylor Swift was at Arrowhead last 287 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: night for a fabulous Monday night football game, which the 288 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs prevailed in overtime. But here's an interesting thing, and 289 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: I need Joe's opinion on this. So fourth quarter, if 290 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: you weren't watching the game, Chiefs were like, look horrible 291 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: the whole game, and then came back and one as 292 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: they often do. And they're the only undefeated team in 293 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. There ain't no now but Patrick Mahones throws 294 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass Lamb's funny, appears to be hurt, has 295 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: to be helped off the field, can't even walk off 296 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: the field under his own steam. Crowd is quiet. The 297 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: entire league, you know, the entire season, for the whole league. 298 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: Hinges on how hurt he is, no doubt about that, 299 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: and probably gazillions of dollars to be made. He's helped 300 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: off the field, he goes into the tunnel, comes back 301 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: out of the tunnel, jogs along the sideline, crowd goes berserk, 302 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: comes back in game winning touchdown drive overtime citra And 303 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: I was texting with an ANFL insider who actually works 304 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: for the league, has for years, who said, yeah, he 305 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: does that all the time. He's a faker. And I said, 306 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: are you serious? Said yeah, everybody knows that. Really. I said, 307 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: really like that, he said, And they said, do you 308 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: ever watch sports? And I said, well, like, I know 309 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: in soccer they flop, But is this a common thing? 310 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: They said yeah, and named a couple of players who 311 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: regularly pretended to be hurt. So what And So what 312 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't get is what's the advantage. I don't believe it. 313 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: But I'm not an NFL insider. I don't work in 314 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, if that's common talk among everybody, 315 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: because he has had a number of looks like he'll 316 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: never play again injuries, and then like three plays later, 317 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: he wins the game, including a couple of Super Bowls, 318 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: So what is that? Wow? The answer would be very 319 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: very sportsy. It would be, yeah, you can get yourself 320 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: like an unofficial time out, depending on what time of 321 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: the game is. But if it's in crunch down like 322 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the last two minutes or whatever. Then it's you can't 323 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: do that, or you wasn't This definitely wasn't that. Yeah, 324 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: this definitely wasn't that, because I mean they just scored 325 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean, he was gonna get a break. 326 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. I don't know. I mean, answer is 327 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: very sportsy. It's possible that he tried to make the 328 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: other team think, all right, he's not a threat to 329 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: run anymore, so he can adjust our defense. But again, wow, 330 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought that was about that was 331 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: something that they fake being hurt like that to be 332 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: carried off the field. Okay, yeah, I didn't know that 333 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: about him. How I'd assumed that the point of the 334 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: story was that he took the needle in the back 335 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: locked room. That's what I assume is they whisk him 336 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: into the tunnel, they shoot him full of drugs that 337 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: most human beings aren't even aware exist, and then he 338 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: comes back out and feels fine as his brain is 339 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: masking horrific pain and injury. They give him a big 340 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: fat shot and they asked that will trouble him the 341 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: rest of his life once his career is over, but 342 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: at least still win the football game and he'll be 343 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: riches as can be. Yeah. Absolutely so. I got this 344 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: email from alnonymous. Guys, I just listened to the January seventh, 345 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one episode of the A and G Show. 346 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: I got a quick question. Hold on, hey on, Jack 347 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: has a question from across the room, and to adjust 348 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the thermostad is that it's hotter than testicles in here. 349 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: Usually colder and a polar bears something or other. But 350 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: why are you shaking your head Michael, as it was 351 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: freezing in there? Just I know it's always been this way. 352 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: Joe and I experiment to see how human beings can 353 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: endure the extremes of temperature in space. Elon's doing it 354 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: to see if we can get his gust on mars. 355 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 2: Uh. 356 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: How do people go about listening to shows that are 357 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: years old? 358 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 2: You? 359 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: Where do you do that? Is that the podcast? Yeah? 360 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: You can do that? Huh okay? Cool? Yeah? Absolutely, h Yeah. 361 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: The library is there at uh uh, well at archives 362 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: at Washington, DC. Yes, exactly, you have to go there. 363 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: They have crusty old headphones. I know it's at iHeart 364 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: dot com podcast Armstrong and Getting Cool. But anyway, alt 365 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: wrights and January seventh, twenty one, obviously, the day after 366 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: January sixth, the infamous riot at the Capitol. Uh and 367 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: I was stunned. I was stunned at how radically your 368 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: convictions regarding Trump have changed. Here's an excerpt. Joe, it's 369 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: over Trump. Donald Trump is over. He has so horribly 370 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: soiled his own legacy. I've never seen anything like it 371 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: in my life. Jack, He'll never be the nominee, he'll 372 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: never be the president's It's not even a conversation anymore. Joe, Nope, 373 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: it's impossible. So al Rights, if you could, what would 374 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: you say to the former versions of yourself that believe 375 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: Trump disqualified himself from ever serving as president after January sixth? 376 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: It's an honest question. I've been a listener since two 377 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: thousand and one and will continue to be as long 378 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: as you continue to broadcast in podcasts. But I'll never 379 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: understand how you can rationalize putting this man back in office. 380 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: He hasn't changed in iota since that day, but apparently 381 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: both of you have. Sincerely, Anonymous, I actually wrote back 382 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: to Alan. I'll just read you my response because it's 383 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: my responsor. Blinkers. How you started it. I know where 384 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: you live, you know, I said, because Kamalin the Dems 385 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: would be worse for the USA. It's as simple as that. Yeah, 386 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: it's a binary choice. I mean it's got you got 387 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: to go one of two directions. I would have bet, 388 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: I think, my entire life savings on that day that 389 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: he would never be the nominee. I don't know if 390 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: i'd have bet he'd never be the nominee, because parties 391 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: can be pretty crazy. But I would have bet my 392 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: entire life savings he'd never get elected president, which he might, 393 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: which I will by the day, by the way today, 394 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: and if he doesn't, a lot of it will be 395 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: because of January sixth, That's correct. I would have willingly 396 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: bet my house, and uh, you the imaginary better would 397 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: be the owner of quite a nice property. And I 398 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: would be very bitter in my little apartment. I tell 399 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: you that. What happened, Joey, I thought you were doing okay, 400 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: what's with the bitter little apartment? Well, I wagered my 401 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: entire house on a political bed in retrospect, remember January anyway? 402 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: So oh here we are, so here all here, here's 403 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: the answer. To expand on it slightly, and for the 404 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: emptieth time, I will quote Robert Gates. That's that. No, 405 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: it's not Kates, it's uh Bill Parr, William Parr. Electing 406 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: Trump is Russian roulette. Electing Harris's national suicide. If Trump 407 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: wins today, and we may not know for quite some time, 408 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: partly because of stupid, stupid Arizona and their rules. Anyway, 409 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: I kid, it's a lovely we might know by like 410 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock West Coast time tonight. That's also possible. Yeah, 411 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: But anyway, if Trump wins and serves a significant part 412 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: of his term, he's very old and fattest the thing. 413 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: It is absolutely guaranteed that there will be rough patches, 414 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: regrettable statements, out of control aids. It will be a 415 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: bucking bronco of a term. It always is with Trump, 416 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: much of it created by himself, much of it by 417 00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: the unhinged and dishonest swamp and major media. Remember the 418 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: people don't want to return to the dissension and volatility 419 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: of the Trump term. Yeah, a lot of that came 420 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: from the left anyway, So it's going to be a 421 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: bucking bronco ride. If Trump's it offs absolutely four years 422 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris and her wildly progressive policies. God help us, 423 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: and please pray fervently that the Senate is going to 424 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: be in Republican hands, which it appears it will be 425 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: as a check to her power. That's the answer to 426 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: the question. Well, for me personally, the answer is this 427 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: all unfold step by step. You don't leap from January 428 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: seventh to today. And if I'd have had my choice, 429 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: Trump would not have run. If I'd had my choice, 430 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: Trump would have not been the nominee. And then if 431 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: I had my choice, Trump would be running against somebody 432 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: way more palatable to vote for than Kamala Harris. But 433 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: none of those things happened, and he did run, and 434 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: he did get the nomination, and he is running against 435 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: somebody who's way too woke for me to stomach. And 436 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: you got to choose between the two. So that's how 437 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: I get their step by step. So again, you know, 438 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: another response to al would be I remain surprised and 439 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: somewhat disconcerted that Trump is indeed the nominee. Again, it 440 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: is shocking, but and yet here we are. It's also 441 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: shocking that the Democrats were gonna run with a senile 442 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: old man flat vattic care and hide it and then 443 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: chose somebody who had tried to run before but couldn't 444 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: even stay in the race till the first contest, and 445 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: picked them to be the nominee who had taken positions 446 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: like taxpayer funded sex changes for illegals and opening the 447 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: border and a whole bunch of other just crazy, crazy things, 448 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: ending the filibuster which will ruin the country, and a 449 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: whole bunch of other horrible policies packing the Supreme Court. 450 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: Please wow, But they did. So that's where we are today. 451 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: So do we go with Trump and all his sins 452 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: or somebody wants to do all that stuff? Please? It 453 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: does look like the Republicans are going to have somewhere, 454 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: depending on the pundit you listen to fifty three and 455 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 1: fifty six Senate seats and the House. If it's Trump, 456 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: fifty six senators and the House. Wow. If it's Kamala 457 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: and a majority in both houses for the Republicans, at 458 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: least she won't be able to do as much. Yay 459 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: divided government. Hey, a word that we can all agree 460 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: on from our friends at Warrior Foundation.

And we have seen first hand how 472 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: Warrior Foundation continues to make a huge impact in the 473 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: lives of our warriors with your continued support.

This thing, I mean, 484 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: just to fit in with all the stuff we just 485 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: said about Trump or Kamala Harrison. Like I have said, 486 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: if you say I can't vote for Trump because of 487 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: January sixth, I completely understand that. I mean, that is 488 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: a defendable position to me on any level. But this 489 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: from Oprah last night is stupid. 490 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 3: If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible 491 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast 492 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: a ballot again. 493 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: That's just ridiculous.

I don't think he has the energy or 511 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: the or the focus to do it. But even if 512 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: he did, how would that occur in a four year term. 513 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: I just don't believe it.
