Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and enough he ladies and gentlemen, the world's
Speaker 2: oldest democracy is about to pick a new Leader's inspiring.
Speaker 1: Kay, what is your national anthem? This is freectional anthem
Speaker 1: on election game? That's enough? Is everybody all right? That's
Speaker 1: fergy of the Black Eyed Peace. Its gonna hurt that,
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt turnout. Oh my god. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Armstrong in Getty Show. As the world's almost democracy picks
Speaker 1: a new leader and we are under the general manager.
Speaker 1: You know, I ran through many, many possibilities today, some obvious,
Speaker 1: some the creative genius only eye Joe Getty can offer.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to go with the United States Constitution
Speaker 1: still breathing in spite of it all. Yeah, yep, yep, yep,
Speaker 1: yep ye. So on the other hand, I'd gather the
Speaker 1: family around the Constitution's pad wow, because we'll never have
Speaker 1: another election act. You're like, uh, You're like Trump, You're
Speaker 1: closing dark, closing dark for some reason coming up this morning, Hanson.
Speaker 1: Just before we went on, Hanson alerted me to a
Speaker 1: clip that one of the biggest celebrities in the world
Speaker 1: went with the closing argument of if you don't vote
Speaker 1: for Harris, we'll never have another election. All right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean hair, go ahead, didn't your thought? No? I
Speaker 1: just I can't even go ahead, Michael, why not? If
Speaker 1: we don't show.
Speaker 3: Up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to.
Speaker 1: Ever cast a ballot. Freaking kidding, that's that's Oprah that
Speaker 1: you said, celebrity, I thought, okay, singer, whatever you know.
Speaker 1: So some singer says that, fine, it's dumb freaking Oprah
Speaker 1: said that she's a smart person. Come on, Oprah. Come then,
Speaker 1: when there's blood running in the streets and assassination attempts
Speaker 1: and the rest of it, they say, it's not my fault.
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything, And that's just what a dumb
Speaker 1: thing to say. So I was taken a ton of
Speaker 1: media yesterday and I will again today because it's what
Speaker 1: I like to do. I enjoyed it. But I was
Speaker 1: listening to the National Review podcast, which was really good yesterday,
Speaker 1: and Rich Lowry of the National Review made the point
Speaker 1: that people say this is the most divided we've ever been.
Speaker 1: That's not true. We've been divided many times before, but
Speaker 1: we've never been this divided and stupid. This is the
Speaker 1: stupidest divided election we've ever had. By foar, that is
Speaker 1: a unique situation, and there's no doubt that that is true. Well,
Speaker 1: when we've been divided before, we've been very divided over
Speaker 1: very consequential, particular issues that people were battling about. This
Speaker 1: is just you know, dumb stuff. Who said trash or
Speaker 1: you know who has celebrities or whatever. It's just it's dumb.
Speaker 1: Our politics are dumber than they've ever been, and there
Speaker 1: is no way you can argue that that's not true.
Speaker 1: It's profoundly discouraging. I have had to medicate myself heavily
Speaker 1: to even appear to do my job for the last
Speaker 1: six months. I haven't talked about this, but yes, I
Speaker 1: am using a variety of stimulants value of the trenk
Speaker 1: to get out of sp just to get out of
Speaker 1: bed in the morning. Yeah, I generally I snort meth
Speaker 1: and wash it down with a couple of red bulls
Speaker 1: just to get off of my emotional deathbed, just to
Speaker 1: face the day. Will you allow any information whatsoever. I
Speaker 1: believe yesterday in the promo you basically said you wouldn't
Speaker 1: allow any information to know. There will be no discussion,
Speaker 1: no consideration of any voting trends, developments, nothing. Most of
Speaker 1: it is stupid. So you've always we've done many election
Speaker 1: shows over the years which are painful. Oh like when
Speaker 1: we come in in the evening, Yeah, yeah, and Jozoi's
Speaker 1: en requested by some news giant station. Can you guys
Speaker 1: come in and commentate and stuff? And Joey's always liked
Speaker 1: joe has always liked making a big deal out of
Speaker 1: what three percent returns. So and So's ahead by seventy
Speaker 1: five percent, seventy five percent, they've clearly got it locked up.
Speaker 1: But it's just, you know, it's dumb. It's dumb to
Speaker 1: look at the voting coming in county by county, district
Speaker 1: by district and draw any conclusions. It's just dumb. And
Speaker 1: then having conversations around it. The when when twenty percent
Speaker 1: of ballots or absent he or mailed in or whatever,
Speaker 1: it was dumb. Now yeah, forty five percent or whatever
Speaker 1: the number happens to me is it's it's it's beyond dumb. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's most likely going to be over half of the
Speaker 1: votes are already in, which I think, well, it depends
Speaker 1: on when people sent them in, because in some places
Speaker 1: have been voting for a month. But and they're a
Speaker 1: variable state by state on how they count them and
Speaker 1: how quickly they count them and the rest of us.
Speaker 1: I don't think Trump particularly closed well in the last
Speaker 1: several days. But if half the ballot's already in, that
Speaker 1: doesn't make any difference. But here's a number that Mark
Speaker 1: Alpern on his zoom cast was making a big deal
Speaker 1: out of yesterday, and it's a real number. So early
Speaker 1: voting in Pennsylvania went down by a million. A million
Speaker 1: fewer early ballots came in than last time around, and
Speaker 1: it's almost all Democrats. The reduction in the number of Democrats. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's almost entirely Democrats. Yeah, okay, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure it was the direction the voters. The Republican
Speaker 1: numbers stayed about the same, the Republican the Democratic number
Speaker 1: went way down, unless you think, I mean he actually
Speaker 1: said it's very, very difficult to imagine how Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: wins Pennsylvania with these numbers. That just came out like,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. You have to believe that. What's funny
Speaker 1: about it? Oh? I just cram like a maniac before
Speaker 1: the show, and I read a couple of my favorite
Speaker 1: commentators saying, Yeah, it really looks good for Harris. The
Speaker 1: independents have been flowing her way in the last week.
Speaker 1: Well on the early voting, Well, I think this is real.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is BS at all. I think
Speaker 1: this is real. You have to know that's that's the number.
Speaker 1: You have to make a weird case for how she
Speaker 1: overcomes that that all of a sudden, for some reason,
Speaker 1: for the first time really ever, Democrats have decided that
Speaker 1: they want to vote on election day and not early
Speaker 1: voting because they are always the been the early vote leaders.
Speaker 1: And unless that flipped for some weird reason, and it's
Speaker 1: hard to imagine what that would be, it's really, really
Speaker 1: hard to figure out how she's gonna win Pennsylvania. And
Speaker 1: if she doesn't win Pennsylvania, it's damned hard for her
Speaker 1: to win the presidency. She's got to pick up a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of those Sun Belt states that she's not
Speaker 1: leading in. So there you go. I think I think
Speaker 1: that's a real piece of information. Speaking of early voting, Jack,
Speaker 1: there is aults are in from tiny Dixville, Notch, New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: Is it just me or does Dixville not sound like
Speaker 1: a euphemism for ladies private dogs? Sorry? Sorry it does.
Speaker 1: But the vote was tied three to three, Jack, Sharon,
Speaker 1: it's the closest election that our lifetloves. Sharon Stone uncrossed
Speaker 1: her legs and we saw her Dixville Notch. Oh, is
Speaker 1: that what you're saying? This is uh, yes, Katie. I
Speaker 1: was hoping that you were compiled with the noose or something,
Speaker 1: so go ahead.
Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say it wasn't just Dixville, it
Speaker 4: was tiny Dixville.
Speaker 1: But then that's right, tiny Dixville, Notch. That's a very
Speaker 1: good point, says the woman wearing her hot Dogs are
Speaker 1: Dogs Armstrong, You giddy. That's a good looking t shirt.
Speaker 1: That is a good looking and it's a comfortable t shirt.
Speaker 1: And if Trump wins, that issue will play a role,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Oh, we should start to show
Speaker 1: officially and get into some of the transgender madness. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, absolutely, we should start to show officially before
Speaker 1: we get in trouble with the FCC that might be
Speaker 1: run by Democrats soon and they'll proably shut us down. Personally,
Speaker 1: I feel if Trump doesn't win, we'll never have another election.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is.
Speaker 1: I looked at my watch to check the date. Been
Speaker 1: hereing this date for four freaking years. It's November fifth.
Speaker 1: They are twenty twenty four. We are armstrong in getting
Speaker 1: and we approve of this program. Christmas for Masochists. All right,
Speaker 1: let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules of Regulations,
Speaker 1: casting our vote for clear and truthful information at mark this.
Speaker 1: Ohio's important.
Speaker 5: Everyone knows Ohio's important. You're gonna go down here in
Speaker 5: the valley between Columbus and Pittsburgh, and then you got
Speaker 5: the Akron triangle right here. Hillary Clinton carried this next
Speaker 5: to Canton, and then there's, of course there's Wooster. But
Speaker 5: eighteen seventy six. It's a different story Orville. This is
Speaker 5: a problem for Orville, This is a problem for Biden.
Speaker 5: Trump carries these North Lawrence down over here, up here
Speaker 5: to Canal Footin. You're gonna zoom in. You're gonna zoom
Speaker 5: in and get up here to ninety three to twenty
Speaker 5: one triangle circle, that's what they call it.
Speaker 1: Right around nick Jack Farms.
Speaker 5: Everyone knows that Nika Jack Farms has always been carried Trump,
Speaker 5: ever since eighteen eighty four, when you only won forty
Speaker 5: two percent of the vote. We're gonna go south. We're
Speaker 5: gonna head our way south. We're gonna zoom in a
Speaker 5: little bit. Right there, there's a green patch. We call
Speaker 5: this Elms country Club. Back in the day, Elms Country
Speaker 5: Club is where, of course Hamilton lost the duel with Washington.
Speaker 5: Everyone knows it's a huge Republican mainsta. We're gonna back
Speaker 5: up a little bit. I never stopped talking. I always
Speaker 5: just keep moving the map. We need more data. Of course,
Speaker 5: there's East Canton. East Canton, of course, runs east of Canton,
Speaker 5: which is just east of Masalon, and then Masalon's north
Speaker 5: of nev Never, and we all know these are Republican hotspots.
Speaker 1: Perry Heights.
Speaker 5: Biden exiting polls say that the six twenty seven is
Speaker 5: backed up here all the way down to seventy seven.
Speaker 1: I never stopped talking. I was told to keep talking.
Speaker 1: Never stopped talking. Keep moving the map, Keep you moving
Speaker 1: the map. That's as funny as the first time I
Speaker 1: heard it. Yeah, and you'll see all those people on
Speaker 1: cable news tonight doing that and uh yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of sound and fury signifying nothing until you have the
Speaker 1: results come in one no one. I don't know why
Speaker 1: that's killing killing me. We're Hamilton. What's the duel with Washington?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, everybody knows that. One other interesting piece of information,
Speaker 1: there seems to be a conventional wisdom growing that most
Speaker 1: of the states that are close are going to break
Speaker 1: one way or the other for similar reasons. So it's
Speaker 1: not going to be like the swing states split four
Speaker 1: to three or something like that. They're probably gonna go
Speaker 1: six or seven to one direction. Probably. I have heard
Speaker 1: wise and benevolent humans say similar things. But I just
Speaker 1: feel like the one sure loser tomorrow one way or
Speaker 1: the other is going to be conventional wisdom on a
Speaker 1: lot of scores, just because it's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't have it in me to speculate,
Speaker 1: no matter how good the data. Although that that Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: voters number was shocking. I mean, that's that's that's a mountain,
Speaker 1: not a molehill. Uh yeah, I think so. How does
Speaker 1: mailbag look, it's very good, very amusing. We have much
Speaker 1: on the way to talk about, and you can join
Speaker 1: us on the text line anytime you want. For one five,
Speaker 1: two NINEFTC. I think it's interesting for the first time
Speaker 1: in my life that I've got several shows I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch an election night, and none of them are on
Speaker 1: my television. Oh yeah, they're all online destinations with various
Speaker 1: news things, people sources. That's probably the future. But most
Speaker 1: young people would probably say, yeah, who turns on their TV?
Speaker 1: Old man, it's probably what anybody under thirty would think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just hmmm, yeah, I think I'll probably do both,
Speaker 1: come to think of it. I want to see the map,
Speaker 1: the electoral maps. I like a good map. I'm afraid
Speaker 1: the online people won't have good maps. Do they have
Speaker 1: good maps? Yes they do. Oh okay, well there you go.
Speaker 1: Here are several freedom loving quotes of the day, beginning
Speaker 1: with one Winston S. Churchill, The best argument against democracy
Speaker 1: is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Wow. Moving on, there's a reason the world's
Speaker 1: oldest democracy is only a couple one hundred years old. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: moving on to two of my favorites from my hero
Speaker 1: hl Menken. Democracy is the theory that the common people
Speaker 1: know what they want and deserve to get it good
Speaker 1: and hard, and then finally this and this has been
Speaker 1: cited many times in recent years, and will be cited
Speaker 1: either way it goes. Today, as democracy is perfected, the
Speaker 1: office of the president represents more and more closely the
Speaker 1: inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day,
Speaker 1: the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
Speaker 1: desire at last, and the White House will be adorned
Speaker 1: by a downright moron who said that hl Menken Wow Wow,
Speaker 1: in his famous on politics, A Carnival of Buncom a
Speaker 1: charming note of history. Buncom, a synonym for bull crap
Speaker 1: or fraud, came from Buncombe County, North Carolina, which was
Speaker 1: recently devastated by the hurricane, known one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: years ago for being utterly corrupt politically. You know, the
Speaker 1: often quoted to the point that I roll my eyes
Speaker 1: anytime anybody quotes it. Benjamin Franklin coming out of the
Speaker 1: Constitutional Convention, for some reason strikes me today as more
Speaker 1: apt than usual. What have you brought us, doctor Franklin?
Speaker 1: A democracy if you can keep it again. I usually
Speaker 1: roll my eyes when people hit that at this point
Speaker 1: in my life, but he was right. That might be
Speaker 1: the most important quote of all the founding fathers, and
Speaker 1: that just I don't think people can for very long
Speaker 1: once they kind of figure out the game or get
Speaker 1: comfortable enough or whatever. Yeah, don't please don't write it's
Speaker 1: it's he said, republic. I believe close enough, same idea,
Speaker 1: same idea. Yeah, uh yeah, yeah, well yeah, I think
Speaker 1: your point about democracies don't last. I mean compared to
Speaker 1: other forms of government, which are horrible and cruel and
Speaker 1: not to be desired on any level. No democracy, tough thing.
Speaker 1: Democracy is by far the best form of government. But
Speaker 1: the people have to give a crap and like really care,
Speaker 1: and at some point you cross the line. Modern media
Speaker 1: doesn't help, so we will see. Moving along, Charles Bukowski,
Speaker 1: the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that
Speaker 1: in a democracy you vote first and take orders later.
Speaker 1: In a dictatorship, you don't have to waste your time voting.
Speaker 1: Ah that's the drunken Yeah. Bukowski a better drinker than
Speaker 1: the appraiser of political systems. But I see his point. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: oh boy, let's end with this one. And I do
Speaker 1: want to get to one email, but we don't really
Speaker 1: have time to more hours. Well, I mean, in this segment,
Speaker 1: quit yelling at me, Lincoln, elections belong to the people.
Speaker 1: It's their decision. If they decide to turn their backs
Speaker 1: on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will
Speaker 1: just have to sit on their blisters, one of Lincoln's
Speaker 1: lesser quotes. But elections have consequences. Man, there we go.
Speaker 1: They giddy up a single an election for a single
Speaker 1: human shouldn't have this much consequence though, absolutely the system
Speaker 1: wasn't designed to do that. But we've decided that that's
Speaker 1: the way we want to look at it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if Ben Franklin were to rise from the grave,
Speaker 1: his specter haunt the land, he would say, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? You gave the chief executive, he's just supposed
Speaker 1: to be the what.
Speaker 2: Have you done?
Speaker 1: Right? We'll catch you up on some of the news
Speaker 1: of the day. Well, I almost tease something that Joe
Speaker 1: would get angry about, so I didn't stay tuned. Careful
Speaker 1: you I'm watching you. Armstrong and Getty, the fan.
Speaker 6: Led group Swiftiest for Kama held a pop event over
Speaker 6: the weekend in Philadelphia to encourage people to make a
Speaker 6: plan to vote, because if anyone knows how to make
Speaker 6: a plan, it's people who have to buy concert tickets
Speaker 6: three years in advance.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of Swifties, Taylor Swift was at Arrowhead last
Speaker 1: night for a fabulous Monday night football game, which the
Speaker 1: Chiefs prevailed in overtime. But here's an interesting thing, and
Speaker 1: I need Joe's opinion on this. So fourth quarter, if
Speaker 1: you weren't watching the game, Chiefs were like, look horrible
Speaker 1: the whole game, and then came back and one as
Speaker 1: they often do. And they're the only undefeated team in
Speaker 1: the NFL. There ain't no now but Patrick Mahones throws
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass Lamb's funny, appears to be hurt, has
Speaker 1: to be helped off the field, can't even walk off
Speaker 1: the field under his own steam. Crowd is quiet. The
Speaker 1: entire league, you know, the entire season, for the whole league.
Speaker 1: Hinges on how hurt he is, no doubt about that,
Speaker 1: and probably gazillions of dollars to be made. He's helped
Speaker 1: off the field, he goes into the tunnel, comes back
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel, jogs along the sideline, crowd goes berserk,
Speaker 1: comes back in game winning touchdown drive overtime citra And
Speaker 1: I was texting with an ANFL insider who actually works
Speaker 1: for the league, has for years, who said, yeah, he
Speaker 1: does that all the time. He's a faker. And I said,
Speaker 1: are you serious? Said yeah, everybody knows that. Really. I said,
Speaker 1: really like that, he said, And they said, do you
Speaker 1: ever watch sports? And I said, well, like, I know
Speaker 1: in soccer they flop, But is this a common thing?
Speaker 1: They said yeah, and named a couple of players who
Speaker 1: regularly pretended to be hurt. So what And So what
Speaker 1: I don't get is what's the advantage. I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: But I'm not an NFL insider. I don't work in
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, if that's common talk among everybody,
Speaker 1: because he has had a number of looks like he'll
Speaker 1: never play again injuries, and then like three plays later,
Speaker 1: he wins the game, including a couple of Super Bowls,
Speaker 1: So what is that? Wow? The answer would be very
Speaker 1: very sportsy. It would be, yeah, you can get yourself
Speaker 1: like an unofficial time out, depending on what time of
Speaker 1: the game is. But if it's in crunch down like
Speaker 1: the last two minutes or whatever. Then it's you can't
Speaker 1: do that, or you wasn't This definitely wasn't that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this definitely wasn't that, because I mean they just scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean, he was gonna get a break.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. I don't know. I mean, answer is
Speaker 1: very sportsy. It's possible that he tried to make the
Speaker 1: other team think, all right, he's not a threat to
Speaker 1: run anymore, so he can adjust our defense. But again, wow,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought that was about that was
Speaker 1: something that they fake being hurt like that to be
Speaker 1: carried off the field. Okay, yeah, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: about him. How I'd assumed that the point of the
Speaker 1: story was that he took the needle in the back
Speaker 1: locked room. That's what I assume is they whisk him
Speaker 1: into the tunnel, they shoot him full of drugs that
Speaker 1: most human beings aren't even aware exist, and then he
Speaker 1: comes back out and feels fine as his brain is
Speaker 1: masking horrific pain and injury. They give him a big
Speaker 1: fat shot and they asked that will trouble him the
Speaker 1: rest of his life once his career is over, but
Speaker 1: at least still win the football game and he'll be
Speaker 1: riches as can be. Yeah. Absolutely so. I got this
Speaker 1: email from alnonymous. Guys, I just listened to the January seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one episode of the A and G Show.
Speaker 1: I got a quick question. Hold on, hey on, Jack
Speaker 1: has a question from across the room, and to adjust
Speaker 1: the thermostad is that it's hotter than testicles in here.
Speaker 1: Usually colder and a polar bears something or other. But
Speaker 1: why are you shaking your head Michael, as it was
Speaker 1: freezing in there? Just I know it's always been this way.
Speaker 1: Joe and I experiment to see how human beings can
Speaker 1: endure the extremes of temperature in space. Elon's doing it
Speaker 1: to see if we can get his gust on mars.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: How do people go about listening to shows that are
Speaker 1: years old?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Where do you do that? Is that the podcast? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You can do that? Huh okay? Cool? Yeah? Absolutely, h Yeah.
Speaker 1: The library is there at uh uh, well at archives
Speaker 1: at Washington, DC. Yes, exactly, you have to go there.
Speaker 1: They have crusty old headphones. I know it's at iHeart
Speaker 1: dot com podcast Armstrong and Getting Cool. But anyway, alt
Speaker 1: wrights and January seventh, twenty one, obviously, the day after
Speaker 1: January sixth, the infamous riot at the Capitol. Uh and
Speaker 1: I was stunned. I was stunned at how radically your
Speaker 1: convictions regarding Trump have changed. Here's an excerpt. Joe, it's
Speaker 1: over Trump. Donald Trump is over. He has so horribly
Speaker 1: soiled his own legacy. I've never seen anything like it
Speaker 1: in my life. Jack, He'll never be the nominee, he'll
Speaker 1: never be the president's It's not even a conversation anymore. Joe, Nope,
Speaker 1: it's impossible. So al Rights, if you could, what would
Speaker 1: you say to the former versions of yourself that believe
Speaker 1: Trump disqualified himself from ever serving as president after January sixth?
Speaker 1: It's an honest question. I've been a listener since two
Speaker 1: thousand and one and will continue to be as long
Speaker 1: as you continue to broadcast in podcasts. But I'll never
Speaker 1: understand how you can rationalize putting this man back in office.
Speaker 1: He hasn't changed in iota since that day, but apparently
Speaker 1: both of you have. Sincerely, Anonymous, I actually wrote back
Speaker 1: to Alan. I'll just read you my response because it's
Speaker 1: my responsor. Blinkers. How you started it. I know where
Speaker 1: you live, you know, I said, because Kamalin the Dems
Speaker 1: would be worse for the USA. It's as simple as that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a binary choice. I mean it's got you got
Speaker 1: to go one of two directions. I would have bet,
Speaker 1: I think, my entire life savings on that day that
Speaker 1: he would never be the nominee. I don't know if
Speaker 1: i'd have bet he'd never be the nominee, because parties
Speaker 1: can be pretty crazy. But I would have bet my
Speaker 1: entire life savings he'd never get elected president, which he might,
Speaker 1: which I will by the day, by the way today,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't, a lot of it will be
Speaker 1: because of January sixth, That's correct. I would have willingly
Speaker 1: bet my house, and uh, you the imaginary better would
Speaker 1: be the owner of quite a nice property. And I
Speaker 1: would be very bitter in my little apartment. I tell
Speaker 1: you that. What happened, Joey, I thought you were doing okay,
Speaker 1: what's with the bitter little apartment? Well, I wagered my
Speaker 1: entire house on a political bed in retrospect, remember January anyway?
Speaker 1: So oh here we are, so here all here, here's
Speaker 1: the answer. To expand on it slightly, and for the
Speaker 1: emptieth time, I will quote Robert Gates. That's that. No,
Speaker 1: it's not Kates, it's uh Bill Parr, William Parr. Electing
Speaker 1: Trump is Russian roulette. Electing Harris's national suicide. If Trump
Speaker 1: wins today, and we may not know for quite some time,
Speaker 1: partly because of stupid, stupid Arizona and their rules. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I kid, it's a lovely we might know by like
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock West Coast time tonight. That's also possible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But anyway, if Trump wins and serves a significant part
Speaker 1: of his term, he's very old and fattest the thing.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely guaranteed that there will be rough patches,
Speaker 1: regrettable statements, out of control aids. It will be a
Speaker 1: bucking bronco of a term. It always is with Trump,
Speaker 1: much of it created by himself, much of it by
Speaker 1: the unhinged and dishonest swamp and major media. Remember the
Speaker 1: people don't want to return to the dissension and volatility
Speaker 1: of the Trump term. Yeah, a lot of that came
Speaker 1: from the left anyway, So it's going to be a
Speaker 1: bucking bronco ride. If Trump's it offs absolutely four years
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris and her wildly progressive policies. God help us,
Speaker 1: and please pray fervently that the Senate is going to
Speaker 1: be in Republican hands, which it appears it will be
Speaker 1: as a check to her power. That's the answer to
Speaker 1: the question. Well, for me personally, the answer is this
Speaker 1: all unfold step by step. You don't leap from January
Speaker 1: seventh to today. And if I'd have had my choice,
Speaker 1: Trump would not have run. If I'd had my choice,
Speaker 1: Trump would have not been the nominee. And then if
Speaker 1: I had my choice, Trump would be running against somebody
Speaker 1: way more palatable to vote for than Kamala Harris. But
Speaker 1: none of those things happened, and he did run, and
Speaker 1: he did get the nomination, and he is running against
Speaker 1: somebody who's way too woke for me to stomach. And
Speaker 1: you got to choose between the two. So that's how
Speaker 1: I get their step by step. So again, you know,
Speaker 1: another response to al would be I remain surprised and
Speaker 1: somewhat disconcerted that Trump is indeed the nominee. Again, it
Speaker 1: is shocking, but and yet here we are. It's also
Speaker 1: shocking that the Democrats were gonna run with a senile
Speaker 1: old man flat vattic care and hide it and then
Speaker 1: chose somebody who had tried to run before but couldn't
Speaker 1: even stay in the race till the first contest, and
Speaker 1: picked them to be the nominee who had taken positions
Speaker 1: like taxpayer funded sex changes for illegals and opening the
Speaker 1: border and a whole bunch of other just crazy, crazy things,
Speaker 1: ending the filibuster which will ruin the country, and a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other horrible policies packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Please wow, But they did. So that's where we are today.
Speaker 1: So do we go with Trump and all his sins
Speaker 1: or somebody wants to do all that stuff? Please? It
Speaker 1: does look like the Republicans are going to have somewhere,
Speaker 1: depending on the pundit you listen to fifty three and
Speaker 1: fifty six Senate seats and the House. If it's Trump,
Speaker 1: fifty six senators and the House. Wow. If it's Kamala
Speaker 1: and a majority in both houses for the Republicans, at
Speaker 1: least she won't be able to do as much. Yay
Speaker 1: divided government. Hey, a word that we can all agree
Speaker 1: on from our friends at Warrior Foundation. Warrior Foundation Freedom
Speaker 1: Station is doing something absolutely wonderful again as they celebrate
Speaker 1: their twenty year anniversary. They are flying are ill and

Speaker 1: six fifteen to help fly our warriors home for the holidays.
Speaker 1: Just go to Warrior Foundation dot org. This thing, I mean,
Speaker 1: just to fit in with all the stuff we just
Speaker 1: said about Trump or Kamala Harrison. Like I have said,
Speaker 1: if you say I can't vote for Trump because of
Speaker 1: January sixth, I completely understand that. I mean, that is
Speaker 1: a defendable position to me on any level. But this
Speaker 1: from Oprah last night is stupid.
Speaker 3: If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible
Speaker 3: that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast
Speaker 3: a ballot again.
Speaker 1: That's just ridiculous. Is that more stupid or irresponsible? In
Speaker 1: your mind? It's a tough call to make. Do you
Speaker 1: think she's pandering? I know smart people who believe that
Speaker 1: like higher IQ than I got by far. Once again,
Speaker 1: the longer I live, the more stark it is to
Speaker 1: me that the there is little relationship between intelligence and wisdom.
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's crazy. How is don qu brilliantly
Speaker 1: intelligent and utterly unwise? You know, maybe this is a
Speaker 1: conversation happen. I'd be happy to listen to it. I
Speaker 1: think it'd be very interesting. I'd like to hear maybe
Speaker 1: our friend Tim would do it, or somebody walk me
Speaker 1: through how Donald Trump would make it so we could
Speaker 1: never vote again, how he would end up a dictator.
Speaker 1: Walk me through the process in a believable way, or
Speaker 1: you know, text or email, because that I just can't
Speaker 1: see it. I don't see the path how that could
Speaker 1: even happen. I don't think. I don't think he has
Speaker 1: the inclination. I don't think he has the energy or
Speaker 1: the or the focus to do it. But even if
Speaker 1: he did, how would that occur in a four year term.
Speaker 1: I just don't believe it. There will not only be
Speaker 1: talking dogs, there will be dogs singing barbershop quartet music.
Speaker 1: Before that happened, okay, The idea that some rogue, out
Speaker 1: of control president could get what the armed forces to
Speaker 1: fire on the American people, that the layers of you.
Speaker 1: If you wrote the movie script, people is say, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: this is just two knots. It's too outlandish. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: watch this movie. I picture it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: I picture the bassett hound singing the bass part. You
Speaker 1: are my Sonsine, We've got Katie's headlines on the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here. I have figured out how I'm going to
Speaker 1: watch the election roll in tonight. The two states I
Speaker 1: will key on in nerdly. That could send me to
Speaker 1: turning off everything and just reading a book, Maine and
Speaker 1: Louisiana if they go the wrong way. So maybe we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that an hour too. We are going to
Speaker 1: talk to lonhi Chen hour two, one of the best
Speaker 1: pundits in America. He's run cam or been involved in
Speaker 1: campaigns before, been advisors, all that sort of stuff. So
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good guy to talk to. Yeah, indeed,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. A lot of good stuff. Hope
Speaker 1: you can hang around right now. Let's figure out who's
Speaker 1: reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

Speaker 1: bomb thread. I hope they're mostly ignored. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we have a reasonably decent sense of what percentage of
Speaker 1: humankind are morons or nut jobs, just from our texts
Speaker 1: and emails, and it's enough to cause problems. From NBC.
Speaker 4: Proud Boys claimed they'll be at polling places as Trump
Speaker 4: ups violent rhetoric and election fraud claims.

Speaker 1: work of the left. Please? From Newsweek.

Speaker 1: reality was and said to each other in Korean, what
Speaker 1: the hell are we doing here? Oh? Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: die if we stay with these guys. So yeah, that's

Speaker 1: in Korean to the North Koreans saying here's how you surrender.
