WEBVTT - Shut Up, Oprah! 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:13.480 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.200 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:48.080 I'm strong and enough he ladies and gentlemen, the world's 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.840 oldest democracy is about to pick a new Leader's inspiring. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:01:06.720 Kay, what is your national anthem? This is freectional anthem 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:12.680 on election game? That's enough? Is everybody all right? That's 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.040 fergy of the Black Eyed Peace. Its gonna hurt that, 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.720 that's gonna hurt turnout. Oh my god. Welcome to the 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:25.400 Armstrong in Getty Show. As the world's almost democracy picks 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.200 a new leader and we are under the general manager. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:34.000 You know, I ran through many, many possibilities today, some obvious, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.160 some the creative genius only eye Joe Getty can offer. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.200 But I'm going to go with the United States Constitution 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.440 still breathing in spite of it all. Yeah, yep, yep, yep, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.120 yep ye. So on the other hand, I'd gather the 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.280 family around the Constitution's pad wow, because we'll never have 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.640 another election act. You're like, uh, You're like Trump, You're 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:06.520 closing dark, closing dark for some reason coming up this morning, Hanson. 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.600 Just before we went on, Hanson alerted me to a 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.919 clip that one of the biggest celebrities in the world 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.440 went with the closing argument of if you don't vote 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.360 for Harris, we'll never have another election. All right, yeah, 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:25.280 I mean hair, go ahead, didn't your thought? No? I 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.120 just I can't even go ahead, Michael, why not? If 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.040 we don't show. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:36.000 Up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.520 have the opportunity to. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.280 Ever cast a ballot. Freaking kidding, that's that's Oprah that 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.720 you said, celebrity, I thought, okay, singer, whatever you know. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.800 So some singer says that, fine, it's dumb freaking Oprah 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.440 said that she's a smart person. Come on, Oprah. Come then, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.560 when there's blood running in the streets and assassination attempts 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.400 and the rest of it, they say, it's not my fault. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.600 I didn't say anything, And that's just what a dumb 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.840 thing to say. So I was taken a ton of 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.120 media yesterday and I will again today because it's what 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.600 I like to do. I enjoyed it. But I was 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.320 listening to the National Review podcast, which was really good yesterday, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.560 and Rich Lowry of the National Review made the point 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.280 that people say this is the most divided we've ever been. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.640 That's not true. We've been divided many times before, but 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.440 we've never been this divided and stupid. This is the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.920 stupidest divided election we've ever had. By foar, that is 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.560 a unique situation, and there's no doubt that that is true. Well, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.400 when we've been divided before, we've been very divided over 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.720 very consequential, particular issues that people were battling about. This 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.640 is just you know, dumb stuff. Who said trash or 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.640 you know who has celebrities or whatever. It's just it's dumb. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.440 Our politics are dumber than they've ever been, and there 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.960 is no way you can argue that that's not true. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.760 It's profoundly discouraging. I have had to medicate myself heavily 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.880 to even appear to do my job for the last 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.240 six months. I haven't talked about this, but yes, I 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.160 am using a variety of stimulants value of the trenk 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.719 to get out of sp just to get out of 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:24.360 bed in the morning. Yeah, I generally I snort meth 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.080 and wash it down with a couple of red bulls 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.040 just to get off of my emotional deathbed, just to 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:36.359 face the day. Will you allow any information whatsoever. I 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.080 believe yesterday in the promo you basically said you wouldn't 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.040 allow any information to know. There will be no discussion, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.240 no consideration of any voting trends, developments, nothing. Most of 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:52.240 it is stupid. So you've always we've done many election 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.719 shows over the years which are painful. Oh like when 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.800 we come in in the evening, Yeah, yeah, and Jozoi's 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.120 en requested by some news giant station. Can you guys 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.680 come in and commentate and stuff? And Joey's always liked 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.680 joe has always liked making a big deal out of 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.719 what three percent returns. So and So's ahead by seventy 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.320 five percent, seventy five percent, they've clearly got it locked up. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.880 But it's just, you know, it's dumb. It's dumb to 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.679 look at the voting coming in county by county, district 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.320 by district and draw any conclusions. It's just dumb. And 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:28.080 then having conversations around it. The when when twenty percent 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.280 of ballots or absent he or mailed in or whatever, 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.200 it was dumb. Now yeah, forty five percent or whatever 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:40.680 the number happens to me is it's it's it's beyond dumb. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.479 it's most likely going to be over half of the 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:47.160 votes are already in, which I think, well, it depends 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.239 on when people sent them in, because in some places 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.720 have been voting for a month. But and they're a 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.000 variable state by state on how they count them and 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.600 how quickly they count them and the rest of us. 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.120 I don't think Trump particularly closed well in the last 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.680 several days. But if half the ballot's already in, that 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.920 doesn't make any difference. But here's a number that Mark 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.120 Alpern on his zoom cast was making a big deal 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.719 out of yesterday, and it's a real number. So early 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:19.680 voting in Pennsylvania went down by a million. A million 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:26.839 fewer early ballots came in than last time around, and 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:37.400 it's almost all Democrats. The reduction in the number of Democrats. Yeah, okay, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.560 it's almost entirely Democrats. Yeah, okay, I just want to 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.440 make sure it was the direction the voters. The Republican 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.920 numbers stayed about the same, the Republican the Democratic number 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.239 went way down, unless you think, I mean he actually 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:55.040 said it's very, very difficult to imagine how Kamala Harris 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.800 wins Pennsylvania with these numbers. That just came out like, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.880 that's so funny. You have to believe that. What's funny 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.800 about it? Oh? I just cram like a maniac before 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.279 the show, and I read a couple of my favorite 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.359 commentators saying, Yeah, it really looks good for Harris. The 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.880 independents have been flowing her way in the last week. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.520 Well on the early voting, Well, I think this is real. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.080 I don't think this is BS at all. I think 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.120 this is real. You have to know that's that's the number. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:24.160 You have to make a weird case for how she 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.400 overcomes that that all of a sudden, for some reason, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.160 for the first time really ever, Democrats have decided that 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.200 they want to vote on election day and not early 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.400 voting because they are always the been the early vote leaders. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.960 And unless that flipped for some weird reason, and it's 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.880 hard to imagine what that would be, it's really, really 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.840 hard to figure out how she's gonna win Pennsylvania. And 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.840 if she doesn't win Pennsylvania, it's damned hard for her 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.480 to win the presidency. She's got to pick up a 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.680 whole bunch of those Sun Belt states that she's not 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.600 leading in. So there you go. I think I think 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.600 that's a real piece of information. Speaking of early voting, Jack, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.440 there is aults are in from tiny Dixville, Notch, New Hampshire. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.280 Is it just me or does Dixville not sound like 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.760 a euphemism for ladies private dogs? Sorry? Sorry it does. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.200 But the vote was tied three to three, Jack, Sharon, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.840 it's the closest election that our lifetloves. Sharon Stone uncrossed 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.800 her legs and we saw her Dixville Notch. Oh, is 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.360 that what you're saying? This is uh, yes, Katie. I 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.880 was hoping that you were compiled with the noose or something, 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.360 so go ahead. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.240 No, I was gonna say it wasn't just Dixville, it 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:33.319 was tiny Dixville. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.000 But then that's right, tiny Dixville, Notch. That's a very 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.600 good point, says the woman wearing her hot Dogs are 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.199 Dogs Armstrong, You giddy. That's a good looking t shirt. 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.080 That is a good looking and it's a comfortable t shirt. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.240 And if Trump wins, that issue will play a role, 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.160 no doubt about it. Oh, we should start to show 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.520 officially and get into some of the transgender madness. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.760 of course, absolutely, we should start to show officially before 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.240 we get in trouble with the FCC that might be 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.280 run by Democrats soon and they'll proably shut us down. Personally, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.600 I feel if Trump doesn't win, we'll never have another election. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.960 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.040 I looked at my watch to check the date. Been 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:17.120 hereing this date for four freaking years. It's November fifth. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.920 They are twenty twenty four. We are armstrong in getting 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.560 and we approve of this program. Christmas for Masochists. All right, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.880 let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules of Regulations, 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:32.000 casting our vote for clear and truthful information at mark this. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:32.840 Ohio's important. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.880 Everyone knows Ohio's important. You're gonna go down here in 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.360 the valley between Columbus and Pittsburgh, and then you got 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.120 the Akron triangle right here. Hillary Clinton carried this next 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.120 to Canton, and then there's, of course there's Wooster. But 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.040 eighteen seventy six. It's a different story Orville. This is 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.320 a problem for Orville, This is a problem for Biden. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.120 Trump carries these North Lawrence down over here, up here 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.200 to Canal Footin. You're gonna zoom in. You're gonna zoom 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:53.720 in and get up here to ninety three to twenty 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.400 one triangle circle, that's what they call it. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.040 Right around nick Jack Farms. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.560 Everyone knows that Nika Jack Farms has always been carried Trump, 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.720 ever since eighteen eighty four, when you only won forty 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.600 two percent of the vote. We're gonna go south. We're 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.199 gonna head our way south. We're gonna zoom in a 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.840 little bit. Right there, there's a green patch. We call 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.319 this Elms country Club. Back in the day, Elms Country 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.840 Club is where, of course Hamilton lost the duel with Washington. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.400 Everyone knows it's a huge Republican mainsta. We're gonna back 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.240 up a little bit. I never stopped talking. I always 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.800 just keep moving the map. We need more data. Of course, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.000 there's East Canton. East Canton, of course, runs east of Canton, 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.800 which is just east of Masalon, and then Masalon's north 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.719 of nev Never, and we all know these are Republican hotspots. 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:29.440 Perry Heights. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.440 Biden exiting polls say that the six twenty seven is 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.240 backed up here all the way down to seventy seven. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.160 I never stopped talking. I was told to keep talking. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.640 Never stopped talking. Keep moving the map, Keep you moving 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.679 the map. That's as funny as the first time I 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.120 heard it. Yeah, and you'll see all those people on 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.200 cable news tonight doing that and uh yeah, a lot 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.000 of sound and fury signifying nothing until you have the 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.199 results come in one no one. I don't know why 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.719 that's killing killing me. We're Hamilton. What's the duel with Washington? 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:06.600 I'm sorry, everybody knows that. One other interesting piece of information, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.439 there seems to be a conventional wisdom growing that most 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.200 of the states that are close are going to break 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.360 one way or the other for similar reasons. So it's 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.720 not going to be like the swing states split four 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.800 to three or something like that. They're probably gonna go 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.560 six or seven to one direction. Probably. I have heard 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:29.520 wise and benevolent humans say similar things. But I just 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.000 feel like the one sure loser tomorrow one way or 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.560 the other is going to be conventional wisdom on a 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.160 lot of scores, just because it's just I don't know. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.839 I can't. I don't have it in me to speculate, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.680 no matter how good the data. Although that that Pennsylvania 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.679 voters number was shocking. I mean, that's that's that's a mountain, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.800 not a molehill. Uh yeah, I think so. How does 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.760 mailbag look, it's very good, very amusing. We have much 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.160 on the way to talk about, and you can join 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.959 us on the text line anytime you want. For one five, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:06.679 two NINEFTC. I think it's interesting for the first time 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.080 in my life that I've got several shows I'm gonna 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.120 watch an election night, and none of them are on 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:17.240 my television. Oh yeah, they're all online destinations with various 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:23.360 news things, people sources. That's probably the future. But most 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.680 young people would probably say, yeah, who turns on their TV? 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:32.960 Old man, it's probably what anybody under thirty would think. Yeah, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.040 I just hmmm, yeah, I think I'll probably do both, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.560 come to think of it. I want to see the map, 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.200 the electoral maps. I like a good map. I'm afraid 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.560 the online people won't have good maps. Do they have 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.560 good maps? Yes they do. Oh okay, well there you go. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:58.439 Here are several freedom loving quotes of the day, beginning 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:04.640 with one Winston S. Churchill, The best argument against democracy 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.800 is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Oh 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:14.920 my god. Wow. Moving on, there's a reason the world's 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:21.560 oldest democracy is only a couple one hundred years old. Yes, yes, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.440 moving on to two of my favorites from my hero 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.440 hl Menken. Democracy is the theory that the common people 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.920 know what they want and deserve to get it good 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.679 and hard, and then finally this and this has been 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.559 cited many times in recent years, and will be cited 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:45.640 either way it goes. Today, as democracy is perfected, the 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.400 office of the president represents more and more closely the 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.719 inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.000 the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.600 desire at last, and the White House will be adorned 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:02.560 by a downright moron who said that hl Menken Wow Wow, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:08.320 in his famous on politics, A Carnival of Buncom a 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.640 charming note of history. Buncom, a synonym for bull crap 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:18.040 or fraud, came from Buncombe County, North Carolina, which was 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.000 recently devastated by the hurricane, known one hundred and twenty 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.400 years ago for being utterly corrupt politically. You know, the 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.640 often quoted to the point that I roll my eyes 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.840 anytime anybody quotes it. Benjamin Franklin coming out of the 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:37.400 Constitutional Convention, for some reason strikes me today as more 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.760 apt than usual. What have you brought us, doctor Franklin? 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.800 A democracy if you can keep it again. I usually 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.600 roll my eyes when people hit that at this point 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.080 in my life, but he was right. That might be 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.720 the most important quote of all the founding fathers, and 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.040 that just I don't think people can for very long 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.280 once they kind of figure out the game or get 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.600 comfortable enough or whatever. Yeah, don't please don't write it's 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.440 it's he said, republic. I believe close enough, same idea, 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.320 same idea. Yeah, uh yeah, yeah, well yeah, I think 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:15.000 your point about democracies don't last. I mean compared to 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.520 other forms of government, which are horrible and cruel and 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.560 not to be desired on any level. No democracy, tough thing. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.480 Democracy is by far the best form of government. But 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.920 the people have to give a crap and like really care, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.480 and at some point you cross the line. Modern media 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:41.840 doesn't help, so we will see. Moving along, Charles Bukowski, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.040 the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.600 in a democracy you vote first and take orders later. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.560 In a dictatorship, you don't have to waste your time voting. 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:59.120 Ah that's the drunken Yeah. Bukowski a better drinker than 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:06.080 the appraiser of political systems. But I see his point. Yeah, so, 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.520 oh boy, let's end with this one. And I do 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.560 want to get to one email, but we don't really 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.520 have time to more hours. Well, I mean, in this segment, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.840 quit yelling at me, Lincoln, elections belong to the people. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.960 It's their decision. If they decide to turn their backs 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.480 on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.760 just have to sit on their blisters, one of Lincoln's 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:37.600 lesser quotes. But elections have consequences. Man, there we go. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:42.640 They giddy up a single an election for a single 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.560 human shouldn't have this much consequence though, absolutely the system 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.560 wasn't designed to do that. But we've decided that that's 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.480 the way we want to look at it. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.120 I mean, if Ben Franklin were to rise from the grave, 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.920 his specter haunt the land, he would say, what are 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.359 you doing? You gave the chief executive, he's just supposed 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:07.280 to be the what. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:08.880 Have you done? 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.960 Right? We'll catch you up on some of the news 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.359 of the day. Well, I almost tease something that Joe 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.720 would get angry about, so I didn't stay tuned. Careful 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:25.680 you I'm watching you. Armstrong and Getty, the fan. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.000 Led group Swiftiest for Kama held a pop event over 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.520 the weekend in Philadelphia to encourage people to make a 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.200 plan to vote, because if anyone knows how to make 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.880 a plan, it's people who have to buy concert tickets 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.080 three years in advance. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.600 So, speaking of Swifties, Taylor Swift was at Arrowhead last 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.960 night for a fabulous Monday night football game, which the 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.040 Chiefs prevailed in overtime. But here's an interesting thing, and 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.840 I need Joe's opinion on this. So fourth quarter, if 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.480 you weren't watching the game, Chiefs were like, look horrible 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:57.919 the whole game, and then came back and one as 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.040 they often do. And they're the only undefeated team in 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.080 the NFL. There ain't no now but Patrick Mahones throws 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:08.320 a touchdown pass Lamb's funny, appears to be hurt, has 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.960 to be helped off the field, can't even walk off 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.520 the field under his own steam. Crowd is quiet. The 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.840 entire league, you know, the entire season, for the whole league. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.400 Hinges on how hurt he is, no doubt about that, 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.560 and probably gazillions of dollars to be made. He's helped 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.880 off the field, he goes into the tunnel, comes back 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.160 out of the tunnel, jogs along the sideline, crowd goes berserk, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:39.119 comes back in game winning touchdown drive overtime citra And 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.040 I was texting with an ANFL insider who actually works 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.480 for the league, has for years, who said, yeah, he 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.639 does that all the time. He's a faker. And I said, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:53.320 are you serious? Said yeah, everybody knows that. Really. I said, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.159 really like that, he said, And they said, do you 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.760 ever watch sports? And I said, well, like, I know 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.400 in soccer they flop, But is this a common thing? 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.840 They said yeah, and named a couple of players who 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.800 regularly pretended to be hurt. So what And So what 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.480 I don't get is what's the advantage. I don't believe it. 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.919 But I'm not an NFL insider. I don't work in 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.600 the league. I mean, if that's common talk among everybody, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.600 because he has had a number of looks like he'll 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.960 never play again injuries, and then like three plays later, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.800 he wins the game, including a couple of Super Bowls, 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.880 So what is that? Wow? The answer would be very 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.640 very sportsy. It would be, yeah, you can get yourself 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.920 like an unofficial time out, depending on what time of 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:38.760 the game is. But if it's in crunch down like 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.520 the last two minutes or whatever. Then it's you can't 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.680 do that, or you wasn't This definitely wasn't that. Yeah, 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.119 this definitely wasn't that, because I mean they just scored 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.840 a touchdown. I mean, he was gonna get a break. 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:57.040 Blah blah blah. I don't know. I mean, answer is 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.280 very sportsy. It's possible that he tried to make the 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.000 other team think, all right, he's not a threat to 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:05.280 run anymore, so he can adjust our defense. But again, wow, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.679 I don't know. I thought that was about that was 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.679 something that they fake being hurt like that to be 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.240 carried off the field. Okay, yeah, I didn't know that 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.440 about him. How I'd assumed that the point of the 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.160 story was that he took the needle in the back 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.040 locked room. That's what I assume is they whisk him 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.240 into the tunnel, they shoot him full of drugs that 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.040 most human beings aren't even aware exist, and then he 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.600 comes back out and feels fine as his brain is 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.840 masking horrific pain and injury. They give him a big 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.080 fat shot and they asked that will trouble him the 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:34.879 rest of his life once his career is over, but 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:36.879 at least still win the football game and he'll be 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.399 riches as can be. Yeah. Absolutely so. I got this 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:47.640 email from alnonymous. Guys, I just listened to the January seventh, 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.119 twenty twenty one episode of the A and G Show. 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.400 I got a quick question. Hold on, hey on, Jack 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.960 has a question from across the room, and to adjust 0:20:56.000 --> 0:21:00.560 the thermostad is that it's hotter than testicles in here. 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.399 Usually colder and a polar bears something or other. But 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.639 why are you shaking your head Michael, as it was 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.000 freezing in there? Just I know it's always been this way. 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.960 Joe and I experiment to see how human beings can 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.840 endure the extremes of temperature in space. Elon's doing it 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.840 to see if we can get his gust on mars. 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:20.199 Uh. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.560 How do people go about listening to shows that are 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:23.280 years old? 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:23.639 You? 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.360 Where do you do that? Is that the podcast? Yeah? 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.640 You can do that? Huh okay? Cool? Yeah? Absolutely, h Yeah. 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.959 The library is there at uh uh, well at archives 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.040 at Washington, DC. Yes, exactly, you have to go there. 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.520 They have crusty old headphones. I know it's at iHeart 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.760 dot com podcast Armstrong and Getting Cool. But anyway, alt 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.720 wrights and January seventh, twenty one, obviously, the day after 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.639 January sixth, the infamous riot at the Capitol. Uh and 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.960 I was stunned. I was stunned at how radically your 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.840 convictions regarding Trump have changed. Here's an excerpt. Joe, it's 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.840 over Trump. Donald Trump is over. He has so horribly 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.119 soiled his own legacy. I've never seen anything like it 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.240 in my life. Jack, He'll never be the nominee, he'll 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.680 never be the president's It's not even a conversation anymore. Joe, Nope, 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.960 it's impossible. So al Rights, if you could, what would 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.440 you say to the former versions of yourself that believe 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:23.240 Trump disqualified himself from ever serving as president after January sixth? 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.480 It's an honest question. I've been a listener since two 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.560 thousand and one and will continue to be as long 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.919 as you continue to broadcast in podcasts. But I'll never 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.160 understand how you can rationalize putting this man back in office. 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.680 He hasn't changed in iota since that day, but apparently 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.120 both of you have. Sincerely, Anonymous, I actually wrote back 0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.520 to Alan. I'll just read you my response because it's 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.320 my responsor. Blinkers. How you started it. I know where 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:51.240 you live, you know, I said, because Kamalin the Dems 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.600 would be worse for the USA. It's as simple as that. Yeah, 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.200 it's a binary choice. I mean it's got you got 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.880 to go one of two directions. I would have bet, 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.199 I think, my entire life savings on that day that 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.000 he would never be the nominee. I don't know if 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.040 i'd have bet he'd never be the nominee, because parties 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:09.800 can be pretty crazy. But I would have bet my 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.600 entire life savings he'd never get elected president, which he might, 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.520 which I will by the day, by the way today, 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.239 and if he doesn't, a lot of it will be 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.320 because of January sixth, That's correct. I would have willingly 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:24.920 bet my house, and uh, you the imaginary better would 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.280 be the owner of quite a nice property. And I 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.800 would be very bitter in my little apartment. I tell 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.359 you that. What happened, Joey, I thought you were doing okay, 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.679 what's with the bitter little apartment? Well, I wagered my 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:42.040
