Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: Some absolutely stunning remarks made by the Republican nominee for
Speaker 3: president over the weekend, bringing this nation's history of campaign rhetoric,
Speaker 3: even the particular field of harsh attacks, into a whole
Speaker 3: new territory.
Speaker 2: Joe Biden became mentally impaired.
Speaker 1: Kamala was born that way, and if you think about it,
Speaker 1: only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to
Speaker 1: happen to our country.
Speaker 2: Anybody would know this.
Speaker 3: Trump might have actually realized during his Wisconsin speech that
Speaker 3: he was dragging campaign rhetoric into a whole new place,
Speaker 3: because he himself commented, quote, this is a dark.
Speaker 2: Speech he did.
Speaker 4: That was the end of the clip.
Speaker 2: Yes, he did by Gully.
Speaker 4: So one thing I always like when the lefty media
Speaker 4: plays a Trump clip that I'm supposed to be disgusted
Speaker 4: by and I end up laughing at and they don't
Speaker 4: realize that, like half the country thinks it's funny. Well,
Speaker 4: you think it's just the end of democracy, you know,
Speaker 4: for better or worse. And then the other thing mentioned
Speaker 4: this earlier, I had forgotten until I read the political
Speaker 4: news letter from Mark Alpern today. The Harris Walls ticket
Speaker 4: is easily the most liberal ticket in US history.
Speaker 2: They're so far out of the mainstream.
Speaker 4: And I had forgotten that because I don't think the
Speaker 4: Trump people are hammering it enough that should be like
Speaker 4: the only message. I should be so like drenched in
Speaker 4: that talking point that I couldn't forget it because it's something.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you had the.
Speaker 4: Most conservative ticket in US history, you'd be hearing about
Speaker 4: it all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And while I do Trump, I think Trump is
Speaker 2: funny on one level.
Speaker 1: When I hear him on lisha line like that, I
Speaker 1: hear the election being lost. I can't appreciate the humor
Speaker 1: because he's not hammering what he should be hammering. He's
Speaker 1: saying things that are alienating suburban women for no gain.
Speaker 1: Anybody who's amused by that line of attack on Harris
Speaker 1: has voted for him since twenty sixteen and will vote
Speaker 1: for him if he runs at the age of one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty fifty years from now.
Speaker 2: So it does nobody any good.
Speaker 1: It's going to lose the freaking election, and we're going
Speaker 1: to have more teachers proselytizing toward little boys that they
Speaker 1: ought to be little girls, and vice versa, and the
Speaker 1: rest of the disgusting rot from the critical theory crowd.
Speaker 4: I doubt Trump's going to live to be one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty, but uh, Jimmy Carter lived to be one
Speaker 4: hundred today, oldest living president we've ever had. He'd already
Speaker 4: set that record a couple of years ago, beating John Adams.
Speaker 4: But Jimmy Carter president when I was a kid one
Speaker 4: hundred years old today. Not in the best health, I guess,
Speaker 4: but most people aren't when they're a hundred.
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's miraculous he's held on as long as
Speaker 1: he has after his bounce with brain cancer.
Speaker 4: A different topic, we've been talking a lot about US
Speaker 4: officials say Iran is gonna launch a ballistic missile attack
Speaker 4: against Israel. We know it's coming, it's just a matter
Speaker 4: of when. So that's a heck of an interesting story.
Speaker 4: If you didn't catch our conversation with Mike Lyons about that,
Speaker 4: get the hour three of the podcast to Armstrong and
Speaker 4: getting on demand. But a number of people texted this
Speaker 4: Rashashana begins Wednesday night at sundown. I would expect Iran
Speaker 4: to use the opportunity of a major Jewish holiday to
Speaker 4: launch an attack they have many times in the past,
Speaker 4: because a lot of your Jewish fighters actually followed those
Speaker 4: strict rules, as we learned on October seventh, and weren't
Speaker 4: available to fight back, which seems crazy.
Speaker 2: It is crazy.
Speaker 4: And when did you say Rasha Shana starts a number
Speaker 4: of people attack. I don't actually know, but a number
Speaker 4: of people texted that it's sundown tonight, tomorrow night, Wednesday night,
Speaker 4: or whenever that hits on that side of a planet.
Speaker 1: Okay, that'd be an odd thing to lie about. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the information.
Speaker 2: Friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a feeling something truly historical maybe about
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 4: Well, a number of truly historical things have happened in
Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks. But yeah, this could be
Speaker 4: a yeah, a big one, really a big one.
Speaker 1: What does the weak, feckless Iran baiting or Biden administration
Speaker 1: save Israel?
Speaker 2: Goes big?
Speaker 1: I've just despised their foreign policy so far, so I'm
Speaker 1: prepared to be angered and disappointed again.
Speaker 4: But who's making the decision? At crunch time. He's not
Speaker 4: always okay. Sometimes I think he probably is, but you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes he's not well.
Speaker 1: And blinkoln and Sullivan for instance, And I suspect they
Speaker 1: are at the top of the food chain and foreign
Speaker 1: policy they can browbeat or confuse an old man into
Speaker 1: going along with their plans. I'm sure they can.
Speaker 4: Well, I think I based on what I know, I
Speaker 4: think I like Anthony Blincoln's foreign policy better than Joe Biden's.
Speaker 4: So if he's taking the reins and I think that's better.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe, speaking of foreign entanglements, Tim Wall's serial resume pattern
Speaker 1: debating JD. Vance tonight, I'm hoping the old coach gets
Speaker 1: sent back to Beijing. He claimed he was in Hong
Speaker 1: Kong during the Tianmen massacre Tienman's Square massacre, and then
Speaker 1: went into China. But now contemporary accounts and newspaper articles
Speaker 1: and pictures say no, he was home in Nebraska. He
Speaker 1: wasn't in China at all during the tian Men Square massacre.
Speaker 5: So mind your own damn business.
Speaker 4: He didn't go dozens of times like he's been claiming
Speaker 4: his whole life to China, which is a weird brag.
Speaker 4: But he did go fifteen times. They think they can.
Speaker 4: They they've nailed down, And I don't know.
Speaker 1: He said thirty times repeatedly, So in other words, he
Speaker 1: doubled it for some reason.
Speaker 4: I don't care about that so much, I guess. But
Speaker 4: who's old coach football coach in small town Middle America constantly.
Speaker 2: Went to China. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I didn't know anybody who'd ever been to China as
Speaker 4: from a small town Midwest school, not.
Speaker 2: One person, let alone. You know, Coach Walls.
Speaker 4: He's going to China again this weekend like he always does.
Speaker 4: Poiser loves China, doesn't he? I mean, because fifteen times
Speaker 4: is a lot. It's not as many as thirty, but
Speaker 4: it's a lot.
Speaker 5: Mind your own damn business.
Speaker 2: Why are you constantly in China, Coach?
Speaker 5: Mind your own damn business.
Speaker 1: This may or may not bear the bitter fruit of communism.
Speaker 1: Internal DHS group. This is the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 1: They have documents on Tim Waltz's China ties, according to
Speaker 1: a whistleblower, and the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer
Speaker 1: is sending us a pen of the DHS for intelligence
Speaker 1: reports on Waltz's ties to China and records from an
Speaker 1: internal Microsoft teams group chat with information about walls. It's
Speaker 1: sounds like a great whisper campaign to discredit the man.
Speaker 2: There could be fruit there though. I mean, as you
Speaker 2: point out.
Speaker 1: What a good old fashioned Midwestern football coach, regular guy
Speaker 1: going to China every damn chance he gets. Now, it's
Speaker 1: a fascinating place. Maybe he just liked it.
Speaker 2: He talked there for a cup of Chinese tea, herbal.
Speaker 4: Tea he liked really authentic sweet and sour pork.
Speaker 1: Or he's got, you know, ties to China. Is what's
Speaker 1: the term a communist agent?
Speaker 2: Nobody knows for sure.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if he if you found a card
Speaker 4: in his wallet that said member of the Communist Party,
Speaker 4: it would make any difference. People are going to vote
Speaker 4: for Trump or not. And that's the way it's going
Speaker 4: for like ten years. Now.
Speaker 2: Can we stop wasting our time? We probably should.
Speaker 4: I don't think any of the election moves the need
Speaker 4: other than you can Trump or like him or not
Speaker 4: the end. Is there an audience for the debate tonight?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw the figures from recent vice presidential debates.
Speaker 2: It'll be tens of millions.
Speaker 4: Wow, so no fact checking and an audience that's an
Speaker 4: opportunity to land some exciting I don't think they're going
Speaker 4: to change the election, but exciting things. I mean where
Speaker 4: you say something in the.
Speaker 2: Crowd ooh or yay, or.
Speaker 4: You know that sort of thing that happens usually stacked
Speaker 4: to the benefit of the Democrat, and Walls is pretty
Speaker 4: good with that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's capable for sure. JD's sharp though, too. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm kind of looking forward to it. They are
Speaker 1: a couple of pretty skilled pugilists. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I hope Jadvans can come off as smart as opposed
Speaker 4: to just mean.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I think he will. He's a quick study.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm looking back at at president and vice
Speaker 1: presidential debates past. I mean, come, Harris acquitted herself fine
Speaker 1: with Mike Pence.
Speaker 4: Probably didn't change a single boat in America.
Speaker 1: No, and no event involving Mike Pence is going to
Speaker 1: be anything but blandly earnest. I think these two guys
Speaker 1: will exchange blows cool. I just hope hijin Ping calls
Speaker 1: Walls and tells him, hey, I'm down with the socialism stuff,
Speaker 1: but handing out tampons to dudes.
Speaker 2: That's just weird. Do you want to talk about weird?
Speaker 2: That's weird. You got to cut it out, man, You
Speaker 2: can give us a bad name.
Speaker 4: You want to talk about weird? Now, that's weird. China
Speaker 4: has got to be thinking that. And most little boys.
Speaker 1: Don't need tampons to him, He had no use for
Speaker 1: him unless they get a bloody nose.
Speaker 2: Then give him one before we take a break.
Speaker 4: I came across somebody I want docks just because I
Speaker 4: want to know about him.
Speaker 2: Goodness.
Speaker 4: Saw this picture in the some publication yesterday with the
Speaker 4: headline being Taylor Swift has skipped two Chiefs games in
Speaker 4: a row, and there's some speculation that there's trouble in
Speaker 4: the relationship.
Speaker 2: Or whatever, there's a falling out.
Speaker 4: Yes, clearly she's saying that security has become impossible, that
Speaker 4: if it's not a home game, she just can't go that.
Speaker 4: I could believe one hundred percent. Yes, that's just become
Speaker 4: such a pain in the ass. Anyway, So the picture
Speaker 4: they had with this unimportant article was somebody holding a
Speaker 4: sign that said go Taylor's boyfriend, and it's some youngish woman.
Speaker 4: That's fine, But then next to her. You got this
Speaker 4: guy who looks like he's forty eight, looks like just
Speaker 4: a regular guy, could be a long sharman on strike,
Speaker 4: holding a sign that says, where's Taylor?
Speaker 2: I want him? Dust? I want to know what is
Speaker 2: with you? Regular dude?
Speaker 4: You took the time to get a giant piece of
Speaker 4: white cardboard and all the different colored magic markers so
Speaker 4: you could write out where's Taylor with a heart.
Speaker 2: For the A and took to the football game. What
Speaker 2: is your story?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 1: Is he that desperate to be on TV? Is that's
Speaker 1: gotta be it? That's gotta be it. I'll give him
Speaker 1: a tiny pass for it.
Speaker 4: You just, for some reason wanted to be on TV
Speaker 4: because you can't possibly care enough to have raptened this
Speaker 4: sign and gone to the football game.
Speaker 1: And as a grown ass American man, Oh, wouldn't it
Speaker 1: be more dignified to go rob a liquor store without
Speaker 1: a mask on?
Speaker 2: See her face? It beyond evening TV?
Speaker 4: Oh, steal lunch money from disabled kids? Come on something
Speaker 4: with more dignity than this.
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: Wow, I just thought it was sad? Got it?
Speaker 4: One thing I would not want plastered on the in
Speaker 4: the New York Post is me holding a ware's tailor's sign.
Speaker 1: Oh, that reminds me the Babylon b is going just
Speaker 1: absolutely hammer and tongs at Gavin Newsom and the anti
Speaker 1: parody laws that Gavin is trying to get going and
Speaker 1: just begging him for a fight.
Speaker 2: Love it, love it, love it cool. We can get
Speaker 2: to that coming up.
Speaker 4: Also, it's the anniversary the thirty year anniversary of a
Speaker 4: consequential pop music.
Speaker 2: Album, among other things on the way, stay.
Speaker 6: Tuned, Armstrong, Hetty, as though traveling to a whole nother
Speaker 6: place and time.
Speaker 2: We recently watched.
Speaker 7: Weezer delight a nostalgia crowd at Madison Square Garden, playing
Speaker 7: every song in order from its debut album as part
Speaker 7: of its Voyage to the Blue Planet tour.
Speaker 4: So Weezer is back as nineties nostalgia has hit a
Speaker 4: real peak which will last for quite a while with
Speaker 4: I'm old enough to have lived through seventies nostalgia, eighties nostalgia,
Speaker 4: and now nineties nostalgia is really really hot thing. But
Speaker 4: the Blue Album from Weezer came out thirty years ago
Speaker 4: sold gazillions of copies.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that's not correct. It came out eight years ago.
Speaker 1: I'm not thirty, not thirty.
Speaker 2: They're a new band.
Speaker 1: Jack, They're not a classic rock They're a new band.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: I was just watching the pretty haired anchor up on
Speaker 4: CBS News say that can't be true. He looks to
Speaker 4: be about forty eight or something. So this came out
Speaker 4: when he was a high schooler and he is like,
Speaker 4: no freaking.
Speaker 2: Way, yeah, buddy, trust me, we know.
Speaker 4: Anyway, their tour and doing the whole Blue Album in order,
Speaker 4: which I might take the kids to because they like
Speaker 4: that music and it'd be fun. They look like us
Speaker 4: now because they're thirty years older than they used to be.
Speaker 4: But it's funny how that goes. Yeah, not much you
Speaker 4: can do about that.
Speaker 2: Wow, not really, no Ah.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start with the funny part then get
Speaker 1: into the significant part.
Speaker 2: So the folks at the.
Speaker 1: Babylon b who are a national treasure, have sued Gavy
Speaker 1: Newsome over this new anti misinformation disinformation law, which they're
Speaker 1: characterizing as an anti parody law. But this is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite exhibits. This is from part of the lawsuit.
Speaker 1: It is a photoshopped picture an AI picture of Donald
Speaker 1: Trump making a speech, crowd flags behind him, et cetera.
Speaker 2: And they're right on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: Is Taylor Swift holding a sign that says yay Trump.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's more funny that it says
Speaker 1: Trump and not Trump, but it says yay Trump, implying
Speaker 1: that in fact.
Speaker 2: It may actually say on the illustration.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, Taylor Swift has endorsed Donald Trump in this
Speaker 1: new real photo from a campaign to dad.
Speaker 4: Oh, they just wanted to make it one extra level
Speaker 4: of ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: And one of the actual little paragraphs in the suit
Speaker 1: says it is likewise unclear if the digitally altered image below,
Speaker 1: which depicts Taylor Swift endorsing Donald Trump, violates AB twenty
Speaker 1: eight thirty nine or ABE twenty six fifty five by
Speaker 1: harming a candidate's quote electoral prospects, undermining quote confidence in
Speaker 1: the election, or violating some other clause, because that's the
Speaker 1: verbiage in the law. So dumb, yeah, but's so brilliant.
Speaker 1: Does the official want to attack it in that way?
Speaker 4: Does the official ad from Kamala Harris in which they
Speaker 4: play an truncated clip of Donald Trump saying blood in
Speaker 4: the streets? How does that not meet this definition? That's
Speaker 4: misleading to the point of damaging a candidate. That's that's
Speaker 4: from the official Harris campaign. That's that some crazy meme
Speaker 4: or AI right right, it's absolutely true. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Babylon BFI lawsuit Monday challenging California's anti satire laws,
Speaker 1: saying Gov. Gav is trying to take the fun out
Speaker 1: of politics. One law for bids posting or sharing online
Speaker 1: deceptive content that harms the candidate's electoral prospects ahead of
Speaker 1: an election, while in other social media companies to police
Speaker 1: their platforms for anything that would run a foul of
Speaker 1: the new standard. Those who want to practice political satire
Speaker 1: must attach a sort of product warning label, which the
Speaker 1: visas effectively destroys the point of the satire.
Speaker 2: Jack, I think you have single handedly won the case.
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 4: Are you trying, Gavin Newsom to outlaw deceptive political ads?
Speaker 2: Hum, I'll be darned what. It's so idiotic.
Speaker 1: I feel unmotivated to try to refute it. It's are
Speaker 1: you kidding? They must just think, well, all right, we're
Speaker 1: going to pass this. It'll confuse or frighten people into
Speaker 1: holding back through this election cycle. Then, in the style
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, the courts will say what you're doing
Speaker 1: is blatantly unconstitutional and evil. You're gonna stop today, and
Speaker 1: you'll have done what you set out to do. You'll
Speaker 1: have influenced an election cycle.
Speaker 4: Gotden living in California where you got the prop system
Speaker 4: and all the misleading prop ads and titles and everything
Speaker 4: around it?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Show me some California politics that isn't dishonest.
Speaker 4: You like the Manning cast thing right where Eli and
Speaker 4: Peyton watch a football game and you listen to them
Speaker 4: talking about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Monday night football.
Speaker 5: So Trump?
Speaker 4: So Trump announced he's going to do a similar thing
Speaker 4: for the debate tonight. Oh no, He's going to do
Speaker 4: a personal play by play coverage of the debate in
Speaker 4: real time.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, one more thing to record? Ah God,
Speaker 1: can it get any more of sir?
Speaker 2: E Wow?
Speaker 1: So Jack, I'm just going to dive into this. I'm
Speaker 1: still giggling about Yay Trump. By the way, the fake
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift endorsement. The Babylon b is suing Gavy Newsom
Speaker 1: over his flamingly anti First Amendment anti parody launch. One
Speaker 1: of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. But I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna read some of this from Tom Ferriless.
Speaker 2: He's a journalist.
Speaker 1: He follows immigration and budgets and that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: and jump in any time you want, interrupt, anytime you want.
Speaker 1: All of us who are of grown age, little gray
Speaker 1: hair whatever, we've been around, have been listening to the
Speaker 1: dishonesty around the illegal immigration discussion now for decades, and
Speaker 1: there is new serious, in depth research on the budgetary
Speaker 1: effect of immigration, legal and especially illegal, because there's so
Speaker 1: much illegal immigration.
Speaker 4: You remember the first the first like spin lie that
Speaker 4: I remember of around illegal immigration.
Speaker 2: Was do you want a tomato to cost ten dollars?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, love, as if there's just no way to have
Speaker 4: tomatoes on earth unless you have illegal immigration.
Speaker 1: And I think back, yeah, who's going to pick your lettuce?
Speaker 1: I think we are just in California at that point
Speaker 1: as a show. And our answer was always somebody or
Speaker 1: nobody or a machine. It'll be fine, We'll go let
Speaker 1: us free. I'll grow my own. There's no reason I
Speaker 1: open up the damn border. What kind of argument is that?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: People have soft heads? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Among the benefits, economists often say immigration brings to aging
Speaker 1: Western countries is a healthier public purse. Having more immigrants
Speaker 1: expands to the supply of young, productive workers to pay
Speaker 1: the taxes that finance the pensions and healthcare of the elderly,
Speaker 1: the argument goes. New research shows the fiscal impact of
Speaker 1: immigration is not that simple. The fiscal benefits are clear
Speaker 1: for high skilled immigrants, but less so and possibly even
Speaker 1: negative for the lower skilled. According to some studies. This
Speaker 1: is one of those studies of very thorough to be sure,
Speaker 1: fiscal effects aren't the only consideration the current debate over immigration.
Speaker 1: Other factors include the role of immigrants in reliving or
Speaker 1: relieving labor shortages.
Speaker 2: Who's gonna dismember your chickens? You want chickens to be
Speaker 2: a million.
Speaker 1: Bucksna dismember your chickens. That's what they do, right, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the reality.
Speaker 4: That's a fun job. That's what you do with your
Speaker 4: humanities degree. I just remember, chickens. Leg goes this way,
Speaker 4: the head goes the other.
Speaker 1: Let's see also countering population decline, which is back to
Speaker 1: propping up the social services or altering the existing character
Speaker 1: of the communities where they settle.
Speaker 2: We're allowed to talk about that now. Oh, I thought
Speaker 2: you were a.
Speaker 1: Racist if you said, have the kids speak Spanish at
Speaker 1: the schools, and the schools can't teach anymore. Funny how
Speaker 1: those things change, isn't it? When I don't know, Martha's
Speaker 1: vineyard gets here with a bunch of illegals.
Speaker 2: Plus they got my cat on a barbecue.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, the fiscal effects have drawn more attention as migration
Speaker 1: reaches record levels in the US in Europe, a plurality
Speaker 1: of US voters, forty four percent believe immigrants make the
Speaker 1: tax situation worse. Eighteen percent believe they make it better. Wow,
Speaker 1: which is really.
Speaker 2: Interesting in that.
Speaker 1: And it's funny that polls they always give, you know,
Speaker 1: forty four percent believe this, but they don't mention. Only
Speaker 1: eighteen percent believe otherwise. Right, And there are what would
Speaker 1: that be thirty eight percent who either don't know or
Speaker 1: undecided or said good, jail off my lawn. That's from
Speaker 1: Gallup in fact and aggregate the recent surgeon, immigrants will
Speaker 1: reduce the federal deficit. According to the Congressional Budget Office,
Speaker 1: it's mostly your higher skilled migrants have a bigger effect
Speaker 1: than lower skilled migrants, although it said an increase in
Speaker 1: less educated workers would also trigger stronger wage growth for
Speaker 1: more edud people needed to work with them, So it's
Speaker 1: very very imbalanced.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 1: Low skilled immigrants, many claiming asylum, make up an unusually
Speaker 1: large share of recent arrivals on both sides of the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: and the CBO didn't estimate the impact of the surge
Speaker 1: on state and local budgets hello, but said it expected.
Speaker 2: Those costs to outweigh the revenues.
Speaker 4: Ah, Okay, that's where yeah, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, because you look at the way local and
Speaker 1: state coffers are filled. There are plenty of states with
Speaker 1: significant income taxes, I guess, and theoretically even low skilled
Speaker 1: immigrants who are not working for under the table wages
Speaker 1: would be supporting that. But they're not paying property taxes,
Speaker 1: and in many cases they are working under the table
Speaker 1: so they're not paying payroll taxes. But anyway, yeah, it
Speaker 1: hammers the states and local guys. And then, to make
Speaker 1: it even more complicated, regardless of background, people, what they
Speaker 1: pay in taxes and consuming government services varies over their
Speaker 1: life time. Before adulthood, they benefit from education, health services
Speaker 1: because they're not working and paying taxes. Once they enter
Speaker 1: the workforce, they start contributing more in taxes, and then
Speaker 1: they consuming state services, and as they retire, they stop earning,
Speaker 1: draw heavily on government benefits and consume more health care
Speaker 1: and more healthcare and social welfare. So it's a bit
Speaker 1: of both, depends if you're talking state or local or federal.
Speaker 1: And one interesting aspect of this is if you agree
Speaker 1: and you have to that it takes multiple young workers
Speaker 1: to support a single retiree, particularly given the sky high
Speaker 1: cost of medical care. We've just imported eleven million, mostly young,
Speaker 1: low skilled people who will not be much of a tax.
Speaker 2: Burden for a while.
Speaker 1: When that eleven million are old, we got to import
Speaker 1: another thirty million.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I want to jump in with the breaking news. Iran
Speaker 4: has started their attack on Israel or ready, oh boy,
Speaker 4: two and forty missiles at four targets. I'm just reading
Speaker 4: the up on the television.
Speaker 2: It's just out of curiosity.
Speaker 1: If we've waited ten seconds to get to that news,
Speaker 1: wouldn't that have altered the fabric of.
Speaker 2: This is a pretty big deal?
Speaker 4: Though, This is a pretty big deal. Iran launches retaliatory
Speaker 4: missile strikes in response to Israel attack. And we've been
Speaker 4: talking about it since we came on the air this morning.
Speaker 4: White House officials saying ballistic missiles they're expecting. And we
Speaker 4: talked to Mike Lions earlier, who really thinks we're gonna
Speaker 4: get drawn into it. I'm looking at the video right now,
Speaker 4: and it is. If you've ever seen the Iron Dome
Speaker 4: when it's doing its thing, it's quite the it's quite
Speaker 4: the fireworks show. And that's what they're showing right now
Speaker 4: on the television, the Iron Dome not actually being a
Speaker 4: dome made of iron. It's over Israel. It's just the
Speaker 4: idea that you've got dis missile defense system that can
Speaker 4: intercept practically anything coming its way, and they all explode
Speaker 4: up in the sky, so it looks like a fireworks show.
Speaker 2: It's a metaphree, you see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me get to the right channel, Michael, then
Speaker 4: maybe we can just bring that up because I would
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind hearing a little bit that some of
Speaker 4: them are landing. You say, Anton, look like they're getting
Speaker 4: through WHI channe am I on there? Okay, ABC, can
Speaker 4: you bring up the audio on ABC? I'd like to
Speaker 4: hear a little bit of this. Ian panels. There a
Speaker 4: lot of lights.
Speaker 8: In the air.
Speaker 9: Now, what's unclear is whether these are ballistic missiles. We
Speaker 9: believe Iran has fired over one hundred ballistic missiles. We
Speaker 9: certainly know that the Iron Dome and other air defenses
Speaker 9: are in operation.
Speaker 2: And this is happening right as we speak.
Speaker 9: A nationwide emergency alert to all Israelis to shelter all
Speaker 9: our colleagues, people with friends and family are all hiding
Speaker 9: now basically in bunkers, many people in their homes. They
Speaker 9: have to kind of makeshift shelters, and everyone is now underground.
Speaker 9: This came shortly after a terrorist attack in Israel. We're
Speaker 9: told that this is possibly the first of four wave
Speaker 9: of attacks. Now this is almost If the two hundred
Speaker 9: and fifty figure is right, that's almost double the size
Speaker 9: of the attack that took place in April, remember Iran
Speaker 9: attacking At that time, we suspected that there would be attacked, But.
Speaker 2: This is significantly larger.
Speaker 9: Israel has warned all of its citizens to take all precautions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so we will keep our eye on that
Speaker 4: significantly larger attack than the one back in April, which
Speaker 4: was described as most people as a very large attack.
Speaker 1: How in the world does Ian panel for all of
Speaker 1: his awesome skills as a reporter and digger for fact,
Speaker 1: how does he know that they're expecting four waves?
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's is that some of the information
Speaker 4: that's coming out of the White House, Because it started
Speaker 4: with unnamed sources from the White House saying we know
Speaker 4: Iran is about to attack, which turned out to be
Speaker 4: what was that two hours before the attack began.
Speaker 1: And a senior White House official said the US would
Speaker 1: help defend Israel and warned that direct attack against Israel, quote,
Speaker 1: we'll carry severe consequences for Iran. But what does that
Speaker 1: mean with the Biden administration? Are you going to sanction
Speaker 1: their t cozy industry or.
Speaker 4: Well, the severe sanctions might come from the Israeli military
Speaker 4: because they are very well armed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, overalls over Jerusalem, over one hundred ballistic missiles, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if they shot them all down.
Speaker 4: We probably won't know for a while if what got through. Man, uh,
Speaker 4: this could be uh. Joe earlier said if you didn't
Speaker 4: hear it, that this could be some serious history. You're
Speaker 4: making stuff happening over the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Certainly eight is going to take on a new tone tonight.
Speaker 2: The veeps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I like Vance's Oh that one looked like
Speaker 4: it got through Looking at Tel Aviv, I like Vance's
Speaker 4: chances better in this debate in terms of public opinion
Speaker 4: being on his side depending on what Walls says.
Speaker 1: How afraid is Walls of appearing too hard on the
Speaker 1: the Arab folks for his coalition there in Detroit? How
Speaker 1: cautious will he be a Kamala has been much more
Speaker 1: forthcoming with support for Israel lately. I think they've figured
Speaker 1: out they were doing themselves more harm than good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she always does, though she always does the having
Speaker 4: nobody ever has a follow up, so she always gets
Speaker 4: away with having completely one hundred and eighty degree apart responses.
Speaker 4: Israel has the right to defend itself when we support
Speaker 4: Israel and everything they do, but a ceasefire must happen. Now,
Speaker 4: oh wait a second, you kind of jerk my head
Speaker 4: around there.
Speaker 8: What.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're defending themselves by fighting Hesba law. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nonsensical. They're trying to have it both ways. It's
Speaker 1: just dopey politics.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll try to dig up any latest information on
Speaker 4: this from a print media and that sort of thing,
Speaker 4: and we'll be back in a little bit and stay here.
Speaker 2: We are in uncharted territory.
Speaker 8: But we can just tell you that tonight Israel is
Speaker 8: under attack from Iran. Multiple ballistic missiles, up to one hundred,
Speaker 8: according to initial reports, were just fired at this country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is happening as we are on the air.
Speaker 4: Maybe you're catching this later, but this is how it's
Speaker 4: beginning a massive attack on Israel. This is an act
Speaker 4: of war, says the Open Source Intelligence.
Speaker 2: Twitter feed.
Speaker 4: And also they retweet Jim Skuto of CNN missile or
Speaker 4: missile fragment impacts downtown Tel Aviv with a picture, so
Speaker 4: at least something got through the Iron Dome. Martha Ratt
Speaker 4: it's up on ABC, said if there are any people
Speaker 4: heard or killed, or any major infrastructure damage, Israel is
Speaker 4: going to respond heavily. The voice thought, as interesting that.
Speaker 4: You know, the big Kui can swing hit me and
Speaker 4: swing at me and swing at me. As long as
Speaker 4: he misses, I keep it cool. But if he actually
Speaker 4: hits me, even though he's trying to hit me, then
Speaker 4: I retaliated. I don't quite get that.
Speaker 2: I think that era is over for Israel.
Speaker 1: They indicated it with the way they took out Hezbolah
Speaker 1: using capabilities they've had for a long time, but I
Speaker 1: haven't used.
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see a very different scene today.
Speaker 4: This started with White House officials saying in an attack
Speaker 4: from Iran was imminent. Turned out they were completely right,
Speaker 4: and we asked Mike Lyons about that earlier in the
Speaker 4: show and we thought his response was interesting.
Speaker 10: I'm going to be a little cycle here and this
Speaker 10: is sounding like an Israeli idf op. Why would the
Speaker 10: White House announce this? Why I'm not following this on
Speaker 10: some level, Why would the Why would they come out
Speaker 10: and say the level of attack is going to be that?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 10: I just don't understand it. It's almost to the point
Speaker 10: are they trying to Maybe they're prepping forces there, but
Speaker 10: this is something that they should be somewhat silent about.
Speaker 10: Is this a back channel to Iran?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 10: The senior wide of official I'm looking at the Waalster
Speaker 10: Journal article says a direct military tax from Rand against
Speaker 10: Israel will carry severe consequences for RAND. So I think
Speaker 10: that's what that's what this is. It's that level of
Speaker 10: messaging and now we're now hip deep in it. If
Speaker 10: we know this is going on, if this is what's
Speaker 10: what's happening here, this is what we're past the point
Speaker 10: of something that we're able to get out of here peacefully.
Speaker 10: This is not good on a lot of different levels.
Speaker 10: And I'm just really concerned that the United States decided
Speaker 10: to make this statement here. It might be true, it
Speaker 10: might not be true, but why the United States would
Speaker 10: put this out to me seems like something that Israel
Speaker 10: would wanted us to do, and I'm just not getting it.
Speaker 1: I think Mike Ashley touched upon the answer in his
Speaker 1: speculation as Just moments ago, the New York Times White
Speaker 1: House correspondent said President by Vice President Harris held a
Speaker 1: meeting this morning with national security officials quote to discuss
Speaker 1: Iranian plans to imminently launch a significant ballistic missile attack
Speaker 1: against Israel. They reviewed US plans to help Israel defend
Speaker 1: against the attacks and protect Americans in the region. So
Speaker 1: I think they put out the announcement just to give
Speaker 1: everybody military and civilian a heads up that hey, it's coming.
Speaker 4: So looking at Open Source Intelligence again, it's a website
Speaker 4: that's followed by I mean everybody who is in Buddy
Speaker 4: Jennifer Griffin and Mike Lyons and all those people. So
Speaker 4: they obviously believe this site for information and they get
Speaker 4: it oftentimes. First, US officials state that Israel quote absolutely retaliate,
Speaker 4: will retaliate directly against Iran. So US officials say Israel
Speaker 4: is going to directly retaliate against Iran.
Speaker 2: That's one.
Speaker 4: The other thing is between so far between two hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty and three hundred ballistic missiles been launched against
Speaker 4: Israel by ir And so this is gonna be some
Speaker 4: story to follow in. Like Joe said earlier, it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a big part of the debate.
Speaker 2: Probably tonight almost finished.
Speaker 5: Let's get ready.
Speaker 2: Final thoughts with Armstrong and Gety. Here's your host for
Speaker 2: final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1: Michaelangelo are technical director, will lead the day. Michael, final thought.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm hoping for tonight at least briefly.
Speaker 8: Maybe for a moment of comedy, they bring out Jim
Speaker 8: Gaffigan as uh, you know, as Waltz.
Speaker 2: Just have him do a couple of lines at the podium.
Speaker 1: That would be odd. Katie Green has got the day off.
Speaker 4: Jack a final thought for us, Yeah, well, there's a
Speaker 4: chance this is gonna spiral into one history making couple
Speaker 4: of days or weeks or months or years, depending on
Speaker 4: how things go today. We'll keep our eye on it
Speaker 4: and have all the latest tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Our final thought, Trump is so flawed, so terribly flawed.
Speaker 2: But when it.
Speaker 1: Comes to deterring evil doers, mister I'm crazier than you
Speaker 1: is much much more appealing than ms.
Speaker 2: Let's not escalate.
Speaker 4: So you got reports of people who have been shot
Speaker 4: in the Israeli city of Jaffa. Could be completely unrelated,
Speaker 4: could be part of the plan.
Speaker 1: Well, given that Iran's proxies are busy in the region.
Speaker 1: As we've been discussing for a very long time, the
Speaker 1: word went out, Hey, when the missiles start coming, starts shooting.
Speaker 4: Wow, Armstrong in Getty rap I got another grueling for
Speaker 4: our workday.
Speaker 2: So many people think, so little time.
Speaker 1: Go to armstrong a getty dot com a lot of
Speaker 1: good clicks for you. Join us tomorrow. We will bring
Speaker 1: you the highlights and low lights of a the history
Speaker 1: making more and the exciting vice presidential debate.
Speaker 2: See tomorrow. God bless America. I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 7: This has to stop, and it has to stop like
Speaker 7: the day before yesterday.
Speaker 2: It is a painful moment we get that. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: are you sure? Oh dead sure, so let's go with
Speaker 2: a bang.
Speaker 4: He had an odd haircut throughout most of his career too.
Speaker 4: He had a haircut of like a bowl haircut, the
Speaker 4: Prince Valiant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christ Jenner right right, At least Pete stated, dude,
Speaker 1: anyway
Speaker 5: Thanks you all very much, Armstrong and Getty
