WEBVTT - This Is Aboslutely Laughable 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.839 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.440 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy arm Strong 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:56.320 and Jack and he is Armstrong and. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.880 Why from studio scene sees or a dimly lit room 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.280 deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.560 Communications Compound kicking off the brand new week elections tomorrow. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.720 Until day we're under the tutelage of our general manager. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.920 The last nerve has him what everybody's. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:21.119 On at this point. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:30.200 Boy, first polls close six Eastern time tomorrow, three. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.039 O'clock my time, our ton. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.400 But maybe it won't have any results for royal. Hard 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.160 to say. Here's the most interesting thing I learned over 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.920 the weekend. This is not about a particular poll. This 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.800 is about the polling in general. We talked about this. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.680 On I'm going to say, anybody brings up polls, we're fighting, well, 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.560 this is well. 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.880 This is why you were right about that. This is 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.760 why you walked into the rooms and said, oh, be Gorer, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.960 I saw a poll that was interesting. I would just 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.680 go ahead and get my head beat in because I'm 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.720 fighting and anybody who brings up any posts but anyway, 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:08.040 this backs up your thinking excellent. So we talked about 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.400 this a little on Friday. The new term that I 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.560 learned that seems to be the big thing is hurting 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.000 in the world of polling, where you don't want to 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:17.919 put out a poll that's an outlier because it could 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.119 make you look bad or something like that. Even though 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.200 that's the way polling works, they should be kind of 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.440 all over the place, just kind of moving a direction 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.239 or not. Nate Silver ran the numbers and decided that 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.400 for all seven swing states, he said, even if all 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.799 seven swing states are actually tied down to the vote, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.519 for all of the polls to show erase this close 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.480 without hurting, like without the pollsters getting involved and trying 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.639 to make them close, that would be a one and 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.760 nine point five trillion chance of all of the polls 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.040 being all the states being this close at the same 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.360 time in all the polls. Wow, one on nine point 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.200 five trillion chance of that happening. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.359 Statistic. I was ready for a big number. I wasn't 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.440 ready for that Bega number. And in other words, this 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.320 is absolutely laughable. 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.799 Yeah, I mean it could be well, he said, even 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.960 if they're tied, it would be so, but they could 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:09.919 be that close. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.720 But they're definitely not. That's not accurate. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.960 It could one candidate could easily win every state and 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.760 be that far ahead because they were just working so 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.280 hard to We're underestimating Trump and will be killed for 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.400 this for the next four years, or we're overestimating Trump 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.000 and all the Harris people are gonna be mad at 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.120 this or whatever they're doing to try to get it closer, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.400 and it's just not realistic. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.000 Yeah, I have a couple of thoughts, especially for people 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.040 who didn't hear that segment last week. Number One, you 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.640 would expect with a margin for air three percent in 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.840 either direction, and it really ought to be called a 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.040 it's not error per se. It's a margin of inexactitude. 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.600 I think that's the I think that might be one 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.200 of the problems. I was thinking about this all weekend 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.880 as I learn more about this. Somehow we got in 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.320 our heads with no evidence that polling is a bit 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.880 exact dish of a science and it's just not never 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:58.800 has been, never will be. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.560 It's impossible. Oh yeah, it's a shotgun. It's not a 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.760 sniper's right. It shouldn't be called the margin of error. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.120 It's not an error, but you'd expect that if all 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.320 the polls were honest, you would have a fairly randomized 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.560 set of results that spanned the so called margin of error, right, 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.240 not all of them ending up. It's just impossible. They're 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.280 not that accurate. Again, it's a shotgun. You wouldn't hit 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.880 the bulls eye and only the bulls eye every single time. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.760 So that's thought number one. Second, second thought in hell, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.400 this is for you, Jack, as much as it is 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.240 for the audience. It reminds me so much of every 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:39.279 executive in show business, in entertainment, in communication, the creative arts, whatever. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.720 None of them get fired for doing what everybody else 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.839 is doing, right, so they think, yeah, yeah, let's not innovator, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:48.440 take a chance. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.800 Let's just do what everybody's doing all the damn time, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.800 even if it's failing. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.719 Across an industry, they just don't want to be the 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.719 guy who tries something different, because then you're at risk. Yeah, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.039 this reminds me of that principle. But now, among polsters. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.320 One in nine point five trillion chants of having all 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.479 the polls come out that close, that is guffaw worthy. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:14.760 It absolutely is. So. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:19.240 I appreciate Nate Silver's recent turn to the speaker of 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.240 truth I mean he's always kind of been that, but 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.279 he's well. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.800 In a call out as you know, the powers that 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:24.479 be I like that. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.760 Yeah, so that gives you an idea of where things 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.040 are on that and then. 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.039 The polls start closing. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.640 Indiana and Kentucky will close at six eastern three on 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.200 the West coast, which is right in the middle of 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.000 the afternoon, and we'll start getting some results, but you know, 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:43.279 if they're super close. Who knows who came up with 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:47.560 these weird rules that, Like, for probably the most important 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.920 state in the entire election, Pennsylvania, they don't start opening 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.080 the ballots until the polls close. That's the state law. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.039 Why why do you wait till seven at night to 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.160 start opening the ballots? I mean, what's the theory behind that? 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.600 I suspect so no preliminary results or trends get out 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.680 that might influence the election. I think back in the 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.840 day when it was a few mail in ballots, and 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.760 remember these these rules were crafted Like it's as if 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.200 our traffic laws were crafted for nineteen twenty seven, when 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.080 there's like fifteen cars on the road in Manhattan. Yeah, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.680 it was crafted for when there were a few mail 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.480 in ballots. The rest were, you know, live ballot packs. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:26.640 Et cetera. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.000 We're actually going to play a clip later. I came 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.400 across this. It got fed to me and my algorithm 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.240 on YouTube. It was election night nineteen eighty four. And 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.839 if that's how different politics are now, and I guess 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:45.159 our patients nineteen eighty four, if you don't remember, Ronald 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:49.680 Reagan won every single state but one. And so the 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.080 election results are rolling in and it's a monta. It's 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:54.920 like edited together. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:55.760 Like an hour long. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.440 I didn't listen to the whole thing, but it's really 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.680 hilarious compared to the way they would handle it now. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 We now have another state in and Ronald Reagan currently 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.240 leads one ninety two to zero. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.120 Jim and they, but nobody called it. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.840 Nobody called the race even though so clearly over, and 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.200 I'm sure all the polling leading up to it showed 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.720 it to be not even close. But they still hung 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.520 in there as journalists and didn't call it until it 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.200 was over, which is so different than the way we 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.240 do thing now. It's a race to see who can 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.520 call it first or not call it first if it's 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.120 not going your political direction. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.000 Forty years ago. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.760 That's something now, though, I think they hung in there 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.040 saying it's now two hundred and eleven for Ronald Reagan. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.920 Michael Dukakis has zero. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.560 A reminders that President Reagan has not yet crossed the 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.000 threshold seventy electoral votes and so their results are uncertain. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.960 Has a different time, man, different time. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.640 And I remember we had Newt Gingrich on this show 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.720 years ago, and I remember asking him the question, when 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.679 will this whole polarization thing be over? And he said, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.080 when one side wins? And I was thinking, man, that 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.240 election nineteen eighty four, one side had won at least 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.120 for a while, clearly, I mean it was, you know, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.320 we're not at each other's throats, because it was clear 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.000 where the vast majority of people were. Yeah, And the 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.040 Democratic Party went back home and reinvented itself and came 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.120 up with a moderate, a conservative by today's standards, and 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.400 absolutely yeah, who was pro capital punishment and wanted to 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.160 make people work for their welfare check and all kinds 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.400 of different things. That's the way politics works. But we're 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.480 a long way from that now, good lord. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.959 Yeah, yeah, Well, it's funny not to get too winding 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.559 in our roadmap of topics here. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.240 So we're we're doing the Trump weave. That's right. Yeah. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.680 I had a conversation with a couple of friends over 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.120 the week, including one Jewish fellow, who agreed completely that 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.240 the Israeli peace plan of will defeat our enemies is 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:07.040 absolutely necessary. How does this incredible violence end when one 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:12.400 side wins? That's the story human history, not Barack Obama 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.720 sitting at a bargaining table and coming up with some 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.920 intellectually superior set of agreements and counterbalances. No one side's 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.040 got a win. Seems ugly to the modern consciousness, but. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.120 That's the way humans are. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.600 There are two stories that made me very angry over 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.079 the weekend, both of them in the same direction politically 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.520 against Trump and four Harris just unbelievable. But we should 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.400 start to show officially before mention that I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.360 He's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, November the fourth, man. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.280 November the fifth has been thrown around as a threat 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.120 or a promise for so long, good lord, and it's 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.000 tomorrow finally. Anyway, it's your twenty twenty four life. Will 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.880 not be a born twenty four. We're Armstrong and getting 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:53.080 we approve of this program. 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.280 Let's begin then Officially, according to f SEC rules and regulations, 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.880 the show starts at mark. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.720 So on election night, don't expect to know the winner. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.280 We probably will have a pretty good idea who won 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.520 the presidency, maybe around Thursday or Friday. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:06.319 There you go. 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.120 Yeah, that's from sixty minutes last night. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.800 You know what they're gonna do. They're gonna they're gonna 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.040 be like one hundred post polling polls that come out, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.680 according to the New York Times, see in a post 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.000 election poll, it appears Trump may have won. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.120 If they're right that it'll be Thursday or Friday, you 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.440 could easily skip the news tomorrow and not miss a thing, right, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.120 a thing, not a thing that matters. There'll be all 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.040 kinds of conjecture, and this could happen, that could happen, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.880 but not a thing of substance if it plays. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.400 Out the way they just described it. 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:48.240 There not unless you are an uber political geek who 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.840 wants to know how the fourth district of Indiana went, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.080 because that's frequently a bell weather for the blah blah blah. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.080 I mean, if you just want to know who's winning 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.959 the game, no, forget it, complete waste of time. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.800 Yeah yeah, so I had build all this excitement for uh, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.080 you know, it's gonna get sitters and get a little 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.640 meth and whatever it took to be able to go 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.680 all day long and all night long. But there might 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.040 not be any actual news to be had on Tuesday, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:10.840 November fifth. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.480 And what's so funny is then somebody I'll go ahead 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.600 and say it ways in and says, on the other hand, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.720 it might be a decisive sweep for Trump or Harris 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:20.840 or something nobody knows. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.280 You know, I'm gonna hang on to the two incredibly 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.599 egregious things that happened over the weekend politically that you 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:30.360 get more commentary just freaking angering. But I guess it's 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.120 where we are in our politics.

In general. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.199 I think I could put both feet behind my head. 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.360 You want to see me? O, Lord, please Michael quick 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.920 play the freedom loving quote of the day. Music or 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.080 cut off is mike, or or hand out cups of 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.400 hemlock or something whatever. Mix it in, So beloved listener 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.200 Steve sent this along Patrick Henry and Donald Trump, and 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.240 it begins with a quote from Patrick Henry and. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:39.360 Ends with one from Trump. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.760 This is the complete Patrick Henry quote on King George 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.160 the Third, Like so many of the great quotes from 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.040 the Revolutionary period, off and the context is lost because 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.360 they want to keep it good and pithy. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.480 But he's talking about King George the Third. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.040 Caesar had his brutus, Charles the first, his Cromwell and 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.559 George the third may profit by their example. If this 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:05.040 be treason, make the most of it, which is a 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.760 great restatement of Look, if you take a shot. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.400 At the king, don't miss. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.480 All right, If we're committing treason, we gotta get it 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:12.800 done all the way. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:13.720 Yeah, you can't. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.040 You can't partially do that, or you end up dead 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:17.440 and accomplishing nothing. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.679 Yeah, the greatest sin is to hit softly and then 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.560 trump on warhawk Liz Cheney, she is a radical warhawk. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.040 Let's put her with a rifle, standing there with nine 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.720 barrels shooting at her. Okay, let's see how she feels 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.640 about it, you know, when the guns are trained on 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:32.120 her face. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:33.440 I don't know. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.959 If I'm not sure what Steve's point is in judgeaposing 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.000 those two quotes. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:38.520 I don't know either. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.520 But that whole quote is not played very often. That's 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.280 one of the things that has me so angry. The 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.240 coverage of that story is and this is an extraordinary statement, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.360 I realize, but it is the single worst coverage of 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.440 a major story that matters in my lifetime. Yes, I mean, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.840 it's just a hundred percent lie. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.720 Yeah, lot to say, but I think it represents the 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.040 complete abandonment of the principles of journalism to which many 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.800 of us had clung for many years. Yeah, any semblance 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.079 of accuracy or even handedness. Mailbag, drop us a note, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.960 mailbag at Armstrong you getty dot com. Keep it as 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.720 short as you can, but you know with any reason. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.440 Got this note from mad Dog. It's Monday morning. Where 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:23.960 are you guys withdrawals? 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:25.280 Where did it. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.240 Work for the same schedule where maybe you forgot to 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.680 spring backward or fall. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:32.680 To the side or whatever. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.440 That's right, there's a time change, so probably a quarter 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:36.880 of our audience had heart attacks. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.880 Stats bear that out. Jack moving along. I like this 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.960 from Steve and Everett Washington. Grew up in a JFK 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:50.200 household where we were revered free speech, individual choice, civil liberties, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.240 civil rights. I want to conserve those liberal values. Does 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.240 that make me a liberal or a conservative? 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.800 Yeah, that's the interesting thing about the term something. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.320 He's as I came up with a test, and he 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.520 talks about your high school self and if you'd be 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.800 shocked at where you are politically these days, and then 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.960 he says, the Republican of today is not demonstrably different 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.400 than when I was in high school. However, the Democrat 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.800 of today would absolutely shock the Democrat of the nineteen seventies. 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.600 Make of that what you will. Well, a hell of 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.600 a lot of people Steve are saying that I didn't 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.680 leave the party. The party left me, and I hope 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.440 more wake up to the absurdities of the modern woke 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.800 Democratic Party, the absurdities and obscenities. Anyway, moving along, this 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.200 is from Frank just c and know. I was told 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.040 by an officer at the vote by mail office I 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.400 should drop my stuff at a dropbox or just go 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.400 to the voting center because they're having postal issues. Drop 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.760 Boxes are nowhere to be found anywhere in my zip code. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.640 I have to drop it off at the voting center. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.600 I might as well vote there. Don't get me started on. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.040 Even if the vote is safe and voter fraud is 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:58.040 extremely rare, if people have a widespread perception that it's. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.560 The wild West, and who who knows. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.240 What's going on with all the ballots, you've lost, You've 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.360 lost the game. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.600 Did you see this story, Jahad? 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.040 Did you see the story about the Chinese national voting 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.000 in Pennsylvania? 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.240 I think over the weekend, I. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.280 Just saw the headline Marco Rubio is going big on 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:14.840 that on facin Nation yesterday. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.280 We can talk about that. This from rich Trump's doing 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.760 a lot of stupid. It's almost as if he's trying 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:28.640 to lose or something. He's lost as marbles. Oh this weekend. Anyway, 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.200 he said he should not have left the White House 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.080 in twenty twenty. Oh lord, he said he's going to 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.040 eliminate fluoride. We grew up in Latin America. No fluoride. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.280 We all have terrible teeth. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.080 So yeah, that's RFK Junior's big thing, taking the floor 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:44.560 out out of the water. And Trump says he's going 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.880 to appoint him. But so did Trump say I shouldn't 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:47.840 have left the White House? 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.400 Yeah, he said something of that effect. Oh my god, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.920 that's not the right thing to say. In the closing days. 0:16:54.520 --> 0:17:05.560 Wherever Harris, if she wins with this strategy, and she might, 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.760 it's horrible for our politics and horrible for America. Are 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.520 not weighing in on important topics just so she can 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.960 have it both ways. The worst, most egregious example coming up, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.600 and a lot more. If you miss now or get 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:22.320 the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, you should subscribe. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.159 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:31.879 Kamala, take my Pamela. The American people want to stop 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:37.399 the chaos and end the DRAMAA with a cool new step. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:45.159 Mamala came back in our pajamaa's and watch a rum Kamala. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.960 You know that was funny. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.160 I thought she was good on there for what politicians do. 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.480 And this was interesting to me though, that the FCC commissioner, 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.080 who was a Republican, came out immediately and said, that's 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.800 not fair. You don't get to have one candidate on 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.119 and not the other. So NBC had to have Trump 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.040 on last night for Sunday Night Football, the most watched 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.120 show in America, and he got to do a couple 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:10.879 of ads at the end of the game to balance 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.040 it out. So I got the big NASCAR race too. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.400 That's how that worked over the weekend. I think you're 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.400 actually better off as Trump. I guarantee you you're better 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.520 off as Trump at the end of the NFL game 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.560 than you are on Saturday Night Live. So that that's 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:26.960 a pretty good equal time for him. 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:33.080 Boy, unless he unleashed Martin Luther esque statement of principles 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:37.160 and persuasion, he's not gonna move anybody watching Saturday Night Live. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.960 No, and they wouldn't they wouldn't treat him fairly anyway, 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.160 What was I gonna say, Oh, so we'll get into 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:44.640 it later. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.680 The whole. 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:52.919 Trump saying Liz Cheney is a chicken hawk. This is, 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.879 by the way, as you all know, the criticism that 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.680 the left has been using on Liz chaneing your dad 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.520 for twenty years. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.440 I mean, it's not even like unconservatives. I mean it's 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.320 literally the same person, right that they vote for war, 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.160 but they don't have to fight him themselves. And Trump 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.200 said exactly the same thing with very colorful language about 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:15.800 how about if she's out there with a gun and 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.640 she's got nine guns trained at her face? 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.440 But the media endited that down and. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.880 Presented it for four days now as if Trump had 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.840 threatened Liz Cheney with a firing squad. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.760 Basically is the way it was portrayed on all media. 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:39.560 I mean, just absolutely, egregiously lying about the context, even 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.840 when that's the exact thing they've been saying about Dick 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:44.880 Cheney and his daughter for years. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.320 Right, I'm sorry, are we not talking about this now 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.320 or we are gonna. 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:51.479 Play the clips later? Anyway? 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.040 Because I want to get to this. This is why 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:54.800 I had to steam for. Sorry, I went too far 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.760 with the thing I'm not talking about. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.000 This is the one. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:19:59.920 This is the one that really makes me mad though. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.480 And if you can get If Kamala Harris wins, we're 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.840 into a new era. I guess that hopefully only applies 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.800 when you're running against Trump. The most important thing going 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.000 on in California for those of us who live here 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:14.280 is Prop thirty six, where they'll m make crime a 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:18.639 crime again. That's the idea that currently, because of a 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.240 prop that misled a bunch of soft heads from several 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.840 years back, you can steal up to one thousand dollars 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.280 with a stuff at a store and it's not a 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.840
