Speaker 3: Arms Yet, Hey, Michael, did you see that text just
Speaker 3: came in from the White Flash.
Speaker 1: There you go, live from studio Ceasing York, deep within
Speaker 1: the dirty, stinking bowels of the Armstrong and Giddy information Complex.
Speaker 2: This is the Armstrong and Giddy Show.
Speaker 1: Live this Friday. Jack would be saying, frid ya if
Speaker 1: you were here, But I'm not a child. October fourth,
Speaker 1: of the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. Exporting
Speaker 1: laboring under the tutelage of honorary General Manager the dock
Speaker 1: workers whoops, never mind, nope, uh, not totally working under
Speaker 1: their tutelage as they have ended their strike and presume
Speaker 1: both importing and significantly exporting.
Speaker 2: Look, everybody, it's Jack, all right, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: What First of all, I had a comedy bit prepared,
Speaker 1: but I forgot the press send on my text.
Speaker 2: Do you ever do that?
Speaker 1: Um?
Speaker 2: Forget to press send?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I type up texts all the time.
Speaker 1: And then and then like I don't get a response
Speaker 1: or anything like that, nothing happens, and I go back
Speaker 1: to it, and I realize I never pressed send. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I do that so often. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: did that here. I typed it up like fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I never press send anyway. So I'm not here. I
Speaker 1: walk in the door and then I say, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll do it. And I can't talk about any of
Speaker 1: this stuff anymore. So I sitting in my car, just thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think I can do it today. I don't
Speaker 1: think I can do it today.
Speaker 2: No more.
Speaker 1: I can't talk about the freaking election. I can't talk
Speaker 1: about any of this stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: I just I just can't.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the latest poll numbers in Wisconsin? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, like the old ones. I can't talk about
Speaker 1: the world coming apart. I can't talk about the election.
Speaker 1: I can't talk there's new jobs numbers.
Speaker 2: I can't talk about any of this stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: Now, I know that. Feeling this, I know well, looking
Speaker 1: at that, thinking there's music everywhere. You can listen to music.
Speaker 1: That's what you ought to be doing. What are you
Speaker 1: people listening to this for?
Speaker 2: Listen to music for naan sake? Enjoy your life? What
Speaker 2: are you doing? Jack? You get one's seeking the truth.
Speaker 2: They're seeking understanding. You used them, You get one life.
Speaker 2: Is this how you want to spend it? Jack, I
Speaker 2: gotta pick my car. This is the worst marketing ever.
Speaker 2: I can stop. He's lost his lines.
Speaker 1: You get thirty six thousand days on average on this
Speaker 1: planet Earth, and you're gonna spend.
Speaker 2: It talking about the election?
Speaker 1: Really needs somebody to run in with a glistening hypodermic
Speaker 1: needle and sticking real quick like a mental patient.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you familiar with the joys of classic rock.
Speaker 1: Taking care of business as fresh today as the day
Speaker 1: it was released, or mindless pop? Come on, seriously, there's
Speaker 1: got to be some There has got to be.
Speaker 2: Some news fatigue going on.
Speaker 1: There just has to be, or people are willing to
Speaker 1: push themselves to the point of cracking.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I agree with both, and I feel no
Speaker 1: need to spout the inanities that the rest of the
Speaker 1: media spouts.
Speaker 2: We need to chart a new.
Speaker 1: Course, a different course, off the beaten paths, like the
Speaker 1: brave pioneers of old have something. You got to be
Speaker 1: a certain age, I suppose, but you don't have to
Speaker 1: be that old, because this is fairly new. It didn't
Speaker 1: used to be like this. Oh yeah, just the endless
Speaker 1: every single day. It's the highest, this, lowest that, and
Speaker 1: most devastating that more people killed than ever because of this,
Speaker 1: just every day in the world. The other aspect of this,
Speaker 1: I happen to be at a social gathering last evening
Speaker 1: and I was chatting with a couple of neighbors of
Speaker 1: mine who are very very different people, both good guys,
Speaker 1: but one was an actor for a long time and
Speaker 1: the other is an attorney who deals with you fairly
Speaker 1: dry business transactions. But were I related your story about
Speaker 1: talking to your nanny about the fact that when we
Speaker 1: were her age, which was not terribly long ago, nobody
Speaker 1: had any idea of anybody's politics, and the idea that
Speaker 1: you would like run into a cute girl and kind
Speaker 1: of hit it off and there's obvious chemistry, and you
Speaker 1: would like ever talk about politics.
Speaker 2: You might be married and have three kids by the
Speaker 2: time it came up.
Speaker 1: And she said to you, yeah, oh no, that's the
Speaker 1: first thing you ask, the first thing. She couldn't believe
Speaker 1: it when I said every girlfriend I had in college,
Speaker 1: four girlfriends something like that spread out over college.
Speaker 2: I don't have I never I had.
Speaker 1: The slightest idea what their politics were at all, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't even have a guest really, but it was
Speaker 1: interesting that both of these guys with their varied life
Speaker 1: experiences and interests, and they were.
Speaker 2: Just astounded by that, astounded and horrified.
Speaker 1: Well, the nanny girl who's twenty two, twenty three, something
Speaker 1: like that, she looked at me wide eyed, like what, No,
Speaker 1: that's the first thing you ask somebody. Wow, So you
Speaker 1: would meet somebody you find very attractive, they seem to
Speaker 1: be interested in you, and there's.
Speaker 2: Anything else that matters.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that finding somebody I'm interested in who's
Speaker 1: interested in me. I thought that was the top level
Speaker 1: of things that matter at that moment. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: it was oh boy, you know, we might fall in love,
Speaker 1: we might have saxonight, all of these things are off limits,
Speaker 1: not even on the table. If it turns out you
Speaker 1: vote a different way than me, that's so crazy. As
Speaker 1: a young person who's liable to change and be fickle
Speaker 1: and the rest of it, right, you know, this is
Speaker 1: this is yet another example of the the weird double
Speaker 1: edged sword, all sorts of double edged except sabers. That's
Speaker 1: a heck of an important caveat.
Speaker 2: Well, I just I don't appreciate the what is my hallmark, Michael,
Speaker 2: what is it yelling the staff? No, it's not, it's accuracy,
Speaker 2: you idiots.
Speaker 1: So but on the one hand, I'm so interested in
Speaker 1: what I'm observing, just from a sociological point of view.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I'm horrified to be in the
Speaker 1: midst of it. But given the politics of most of
Speaker 1: the twentieth century.
Speaker 2: And really yeah, the early.
Speaker 1: Part of the twenty first century, the difference between the
Speaker 1: parties was significant at times, but there was so much
Speaker 1: overlap and gentle minliness and gentle womanliness, civility in short,
Speaker 1: was prized in politics, and anybody who departed departed from
Speaker 1: it came off as a jerk and amaniac and wouldn't
Speaker 1: get any support. Now that changing to a highly polarized,
Speaker 1: bare knuckled you're a communist, you're a Nazi, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: That I can understand, and I get that, But the
Speaker 1: fact that that would interfere with the mating urge to
Speaker 1: the point that people aren't I never would have guessed that.
Speaker 1: I wonder, are you kidding me? What is the matter
Speaker 1: with you? Turn off your TV and have sex, you
Speaker 1: stupid young people. I don't even have a driver's license yet,
Speaker 1: so I don't know how to get to the bar
Speaker 1: or the store to get some. And I'm twenty six.
Speaker 1: My parents said I need to be home by eleven.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know. I wonder how much of it's
Speaker 1: driven by the women. It's kind of most of it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of still, it's still got to be true
Speaker 1: that most dudes would be like, I don't care if
Speaker 1: you tell me you're a Nazi. You're hot and you
Speaker 1: seem interested in me, so yeah, look, I'll talk you
Speaker 1: out of the whole Nazi thing eventually.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll worry about it someday or not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the number, And we had this this
Speaker 1: poll from one of the big dating sites fairly recently.
Speaker 1: But the number of women who consider you know, your
Speaker 1: political leanings a deal breaker is at as I recall,
Speaker 1: it was at least double the number of young men
Speaker 1: who said the same thing.
Speaker 2: At least.
Speaker 1: So yes, it's militant, you know, aimless, purposeless young women. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that was the young dentity list, I guess is
Speaker 1: the problem. Yeah, one woman I know who's probably around forty,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know our age. She does the
Speaker 1: online dating thing and said, oh, yeah, that's right at
Speaker 1: the top of everybody's You get that out of the
Speaker 1: way right away. And if it's not on there, then
Speaker 1: people ask you, like, why don't you have that on there?
Speaker 2: What are you so?
Speaker 1: I don't know, And this is probably old news to
Speaker 1: most of you, but it's been pretty well explained that
Speaker 1: if your politics are your identity, anybody with different politics
Speaker 1: is attacking you were identity, your self image. You wow,
Speaker 1: the idea that like you would look at a crowd
Speaker 1: of I'll speak as a man, since I am one
Speaker 1: that I would like be at. You know my picture
Speaker 1: in college, Gladys, you still play you were you were
Speaker 1: a dock worker. That's right, Gladys. She was on strike.
Speaker 1: Now she can go back. She's playing the harp.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to.
Speaker 1: Show up at the docks. Like half of that union
Speaker 1: on any given day is not at work. They get
Speaker 1: pay for not working. So she plays the harp here
Speaker 1: in the studio fas I'm picturing the college apartment complex
Speaker 1: where me and my roommate lived and the pool there
Speaker 1: and then just be full of young people on a
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon like today, and I'm thinking, well, so I
Speaker 1: look out there, and of all those women, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: is there one that's not a Democrat?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll just stay in my apartment, not
Speaker 1: go talk to any of the girls and see if
Speaker 1: I get anywhere because we don't have the same politics.
Speaker 2: That's so crazy. I mean, you talk about something that
Speaker 2: couldn't have been further from my mind.
Speaker 1: Oh though, although, again in fairness to the statistics, there
Speaker 1: are some guys like that, but it would be much
Speaker 1: more like you go down to the pool and the
Speaker 1: girls say, oh, there's Jack. He believes that the people
Speaker 1: identified as women at birth can give birth, and trans
Speaker 1: women shouldn't be in men's sports or women's sports or whatever.
Speaker 2: Don't even talk to him.
Speaker 1: I remember one particular gladys one more harp in the
Speaker 1: opening end. I remember one particular girl who ended up
Speaker 1: being my girlfriend, who said to me. She was working
Speaker 1: at the clothing store and I was looking at clothes
Speaker 1: Mary chatting hum and she said, Hey, you want to
Speaker 1: meet and play pool tonight at the.
Speaker 2: Bar where he played pool there in the college town.
Speaker 1: And I suppose in the modern world she wouldn't ask
Speaker 1: me that, she'd say, what's your stance on women's reproductive rights?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, jeez, we should start the show officially.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of unofficial stuff. Good, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: the official stuff. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe getting on
Speaker 1: this Friday, October fourth year, twenty twenty four where I'm
Speaker 1: strung getting we approve of this program. Who and I
Speaker 1: read the other day said calling abortion healthcare is like
Speaker 1: calling slavery human resources.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty good. That is pretty good.
Speaker 1: All right, let's begin officially now, according to FCC rules regulations,
Speaker 1: whether Jack kwanst or not at Mark.
Speaker 2: And could Today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you.
Speaker 2: And you have no idea what that means? There you go.
Speaker 2: I got half an idea. I mean I think I
Speaker 2: know what you're hitting. The hitting that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh man, how does a mail bag look? That's decent enough.
Speaker 1: We have clips of the week first though, and that's
Speaker 1: just a humdinggger. He didn't even need to cripple the country.
Speaker 1: He got solved. Tom imagine what did the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: give him? He's got a bigger yacht now, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and the White House and the Secretary of Labor both
Speaker 1: put their entire meaty hands on the scales, never mind
Speaker 1: their thumbs a lot on the way. I hope you
Speaker 1: can stay whether us text line four one five KFTZ
Speaker 1: armstrong YETI hel I's going to Butler, Pennsylvania tomorrow, actually
Speaker 1: gonna be at a Trump rally to support his man,
Speaker 1: the richest man in the world.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Oh and Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1: I saw the headline yesterday Bruce Springsteen makes his choice
Speaker 1: an endorsement.
Speaker 2: I had to go click on the story because I
Speaker 2: was wondering, who is the boss going to endorse? Talk
Speaker 2: about that later. Yeah, I'd love to.
Speaker 1: I have more to say on the previous topic too,
Speaker 1: but let's let's stick with the pattern, the plan, the playbook,
Speaker 1: at least for now.
Speaker 2: We have some really good.
Speaker 1: Mailbag coming up freedom Lovely Quota today. But first, let's
Speaker 1: take fun look back at the week that was. It's
Speaker 1: cow Clips of the Week. We are in uncharted territory
Speaker 1: and I just don't know what it is, and particularly.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, we had a lot to get to. Noura Hargart,
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tim. I think you got a tough job here.
Speaker 2: So I've become friends with school shooters. Now, I said
Speaker 2: that was probably only the third or fourth dumbest comment
Speaker 2: Tim Wolves made that night town that you rode your
Speaker 2: bike with your buddies till the street lights come on.
Speaker 2: And I'm proud of that service. Definitely use a lot
Speaker 2: of fancy words, and I'm a knucklehead at times. That's
Speaker 2: what I've said, and from that I learned a lot.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Governor.
Speaker 1: I just wonder if that Harris people are thinking maybe
Speaker 1: we should have picked Joshapiro. The major headlines in this filing,
Speaker 1: the ones that we have not seen before, we're on
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: We're sorry, Yeah, I don't know, you're so distracted by
Speaker 2: going home?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean I want to say, there isn't
Speaker 1: a lot that we haven't really seen before. Private acts,
Speaker 1: not official and therefore not deserving a presidential immunity.
Speaker 2: And this comes across as his closing election argument.
Speaker 1: There's something wrong with Kamala It only a mentally disabled
Speaker 1: person could have allowed this to happen.
Speaker 2: She's a stupid person. There's a lot to discuss. We
Speaker 2: have to move on.
Speaker 4: He's really have said that they have launched the ground
Speaker 4: incursion into southern Lebanon.
Speaker 2: We do need to look for ways to de escalate
Speaker 2: the tensions.
Speaker 4: The United States should help Israel drive hesblah to the
Speaker 4: mat and choke it out.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm dead, I'm dead. I'm leanly dead. Tonight
Speaker 2: Israel is under attack from Iran.
Speaker 1: This is another round of rockets or missiles coming in
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: This must stop. We absolutely absolutely need a cease fire.
Speaker 2: Fame on him. This guy is a clown. We have
Speaker 2: a lot to.
Speaker 6: Get to ahead, gentlemen, on many topics.
Speaker 2: They've never gave a shout us until now.
Speaker 6: They want to nearly eighty percent raise in wages over
Speaker 6: the next six year contract, and I know want to share.
Speaker 2: I will cripple you. I gotta fish share. We gotta
Speaker 2: build back better.
Speaker 1: The build back the better, the better bar to bed,
Speaker 1: build back to better.
Speaker 2: Can't you can't believe it's not bothering them.
Speaker 7: Reap out and in a Baker late career at.
Speaker 1: The line the thing, Wait, get a text from somebody
Speaker 1: who said, yeah, back in the day, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: cared about their politics, but if she was a Raiders fan,
Speaker 1: it was a deal breaker.
Speaker 2: Or you know that sort of thing. You're a d
Speaker 2: fan or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, uh, I was just thinking during
Speaker 1: the commercial break. It's a songwriter by the name of
Speaker 1: Billy Bragg. He's very talented, but he's a communist. I
Speaker 1: mean he's actually he'll tell you he's a communist. And
Speaker 1: a couple of his songs are love songs more or less,
Speaker 1: but in the lyrics it makes clear he's saying his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Can you give it a rest or even a minute?
Speaker 1: Talking about these incredibly ideological women.
Speaker 2: And it's a phenomenon.
Speaker 1: I mean, fewer women are having kids, and that's fine
Speaker 1: on a societal level. I have some definite thoughts about it.
Speaker 1: On an individual basis, Please live your own life, be happy.
Speaker 1: I have no right nor inclination. I have no right
Speaker 1: nor inclination to judge you.
Speaker 2: But this is true. This is true, and it's been
Speaker 2: tested by research.
Speaker 1: If a woman does not have a baby, she will
Speaker 1: either have a purse dog or Carl Marx.
Speaker 2: Those are the choices. A baby perse dog.
Speaker 1: You know, two or three cats can substitute for the dog,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Or Carl freakin Marx. Those are the choices. Apparently,
Speaker 1: here's your freedom living quote of the day. It's one
Speaker 1: of my favorites from Alvis Hutchley. It's brilliant. The surest
Speaker 1: way to work up a crusade in favor of some
Speaker 1: good cause is to promise people they will have a
Speaker 1: chance of maltreating someone, to be able to destroy with
Speaker 1: good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call
Speaker 1: your bad behavior righteous indignation. This is the height of
Speaker 1: psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats. It would
Speaker 1: seem to be the case, which is an odd aspect
Speaker 1: of human nature.
Speaker 2: So we didn't get the mail bag. Let's do it
Speaker 2: when we come back. Got nothing else to do. It's
Speaker 2: a plan.
Speaker 1: There's some news to talk about, which we will get to.
Speaker 1: How about the Garth Brooks story. I've heard that huh
Speaker 1: what uh?
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty a little forgotten area for us. There's
Speaker 4: probably maybe one hundred homes that are damaged on the
Speaker 4: Kataba River here in part of Lake Wiley and Mountain
Speaker 4: is on Lake.
Speaker 7: And then basically there's major damage in this small area
Speaker 7: and we just feel like we're being forgotten. We haven't
Speaker 7: received any response from FEMA.
Speaker 2: Oh, we got to get that. Other cliphants and that's
Speaker 2: what I thought.
Speaker 1: It was a guy saying, how come you can't get
Speaker 1: any helicopters out here. You can get helicopters all around
Speaker 1: the world, but you can't get a helicopter here with
Speaker 1: American citizens who are dying on them, are standing on
Speaker 1: the roofs that are gonna die if you don't get
Speaker 1: a helicopter here. Which is becoming a political story man,
Speaker 1: because there's absol I know friends on the right. The
Speaker 1: two angles are all the things you do for illegals,
Speaker 1: the endless money and resources you have for illegals or homeless,
Speaker 1: but here we are are US tax paying citizens and
Speaker 1: you can't get people to us. That's one angle. The
Speaker 1: other angle is you got helicopters going.
Speaker 2: To Ukraine and all around the world.
Speaker 1: Trying to help people out, and you can't get a
Speaker 1: helicopter to my house to get.
Speaker 2: My kid off the roof. That's another angle that's going.
Speaker 1: Whether it's fair or not, I'm not saying, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that's a growing vibe. As long as we are
Speaker 1: on this topic, Michael, if you would play US forty
Speaker 1: three please, I think you'll recognize this voice.
Speaker 5: We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that
Speaker 5: we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do
Speaker 5: not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds
Speaker 5: to make it through the season.
Speaker 1: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has spent more than one
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars since the fall of twenty two
Speaker 1: to address the migrant crisis, which was the result of
Speaker 1: laying the borders wide open. And now there's no money
Speaker 1: for American hurricane victims. Well, we also have to do
Speaker 1: the back to back of Mayorka saying, like four weeks ago,
Speaker 1: we have where prepared, We're completely prepared. It's what we
Speaker 1: do for the hurricane season. Then the first hurricane hits
Speaker 1: and you're out of money. What are you talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I shouldn't indulge in the joke, but it's
Speaker 1: a pretty good joke. I saw the Twitter link to
Speaker 1: this article, which happens to be in the New York Post.
Speaker 1: Said they're feeding the dogs, they're feeding the cats, they're
Speaker 1: feeding the pets of the people who live there, saying
Speaker 1: we're spending enormous amounts of money on these so called migrants.
Speaker 1: Since when are they not immigrants? And now there's no
Speaker 1: money for FEMA. Okay, A couple other thoughts still bother
Speaker 1: with the mailbag music. I got this text from an
Speaker 1: old friend whose company headquarters is in Asheville, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: hardest among the hardest hit areas of the weird hurricane
Speaker 1: that just kept going inland and up into the mountains
Speaker 1: and stayed crazy, crazy strong. I have about two hundred
Speaker 1: employees there. All are accounted for and safe, but it
Speaker 1: is utterly devastated. One of our buildings was destroyed completely.
Speaker 1: I have several employees who personally saw people swept down
Speaker 1: rivers to their deaths.
Speaker 2: It's really really bad.
Speaker 1: Nothing you all might want to get the word out,
Speaker 1: nothing in particular, but just how really bad it is.
Speaker 1: I'm getting the pictures and it's shocking. I don't think
Speaker 1: the news outlets are capturing the level of the catastrophe.
Speaker 2: Because they can't get in. That's part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the terrain makes it more difficult than you know,
Speaker 1: showing up to Florida.
Speaker 2: And I saw a woman on the news last night.
Speaker 1: And as we've talked about before, because Joe and I
Speaker 1: worked in North Carolina for a while and I went
Speaker 1: to Asheville a lot. I was single and childless, and
Speaker 1: you went out that way in the mountains and drank
Speaker 1: and skied and did all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: But the last thing that would be on your mind
Speaker 2: up there would be a flood.
Speaker 1: And I saw this woman on the news last night
Speaker 1: talking about we'd never even considered flooding. And then the
Speaker 1: water rose up and it was at their door, and
Speaker 1: they had the door shut, hoping to keep the water out,
Speaker 1: and then the door got busted open, and she said,
Speaker 1: in thirty seconds, it was up to their chests. In
Speaker 1: a place where you couldn't even imagine a flood, it
Speaker 1: busts open your door and the water's up to your neck.
Speaker 2: In no time. Holy crap.
Speaker 1: Only two percent of households in flooded parts of Georgia
Speaker 1: and North Carolina and South Carolina had flood insurance because
Speaker 1: of the unlikelihood.
Speaker 2: Of it, right, same reason. I don't have bare insurance
Speaker 2: at my house, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know anything about this, you're in
Speaker 1: Wherever you live is rated as a flood risk by
Speaker 1: the federal government. In some places, it's even required to
Speaker 1: get flood insurance by your mortgage holder or whatever. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 1: these people, in fact, in dozens of counties that were
Speaker 1: devastated less than one percent of the households had any
Speaker 1: flood insurance through the federal program. Anyway, then we got
Speaker 1: this email from Dean from Dallas as a hurricane ian survivor. Oh,
Speaker 1: the topic is that nation has your back, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: as a hurricane ian survivor, I can verify this is
Speaker 1: just bs. My home sustained two hundred and forty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in damages, and the government help was they offered
Speaker 1: a four percent Small Business Association loan with lots of
Speaker 1: strings attached. Thanks the FEMA program wouldn't even tarp my
Speaker 1: home because it had a tile roof, like eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the Florida roofs, but not eligible for some reason.
Speaker 1: I am currently working with a group of like minded seniors.
Speaker 1: We planned to buy it, both, throw away our IDs,
Speaker 1: and land on a US beach to claim Haitian privileges
Speaker 1: and demand a month at the Hilton.
Speaker 2: Then a couple of grand wish us luck. Wow, good one.
Speaker 2: You know. I guess that's it shows my view of politics.
Speaker 1: So it's important for governors and presidents to show up
Speaker 1: to these disaster areas.
Speaker 2: Politically, we've all learned. But that's interesting.
Speaker 1: It only must work for a certain crowd, the crowd
Speaker 1: that believes in a big government and seize politicians as
Speaker 1: their daddy or whatever. Because whenever I hear a president say,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't even matter who it is, when I
Speaker 1: hear a president say, we'll be here to the end,
Speaker 1: and whatever you need, you've got it, I assume that's crap.
Speaker 2: I assume no, you're not.
Speaker 1: You're gonna forget about it as soon as that's out
Speaker 1: the news. And two, whatever I'm trying to get would
Speaker 1: it will take a year and will be impossible to get.
Speaker 2: I just assume that, right.
Speaker 1: Well, the attention to these things, and therefore the political
Speaker 1: significance of these things, the disasters like this only last
Speaker 1: a couple of days, maybe a week if it's a
Speaker 1: really bad one. Therefore they engage in their their phony
Speaker 1: show of compassion and efficiency and readiness. And then by
Speaker 1: the time everybody's not paying attention, the poor sons of
Speaker 1: bitches have been, you know, beset by nature or whatever.
Speaker 2: They're on their own more or less.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and what you end, Or there's and you
Speaker 1: may recognize this thought out of my mouth, and or
Speaker 1: there's stay and their county and their town rallies together, right,
Speaker 1: because that's where effective governance happens.
Speaker 2: Quit worshiping the federal government. Right. Yeah, that's interesting. I
Speaker 2: had never really thought about that before.
Speaker 1: Some people hear that when they hear Joe Biden say
Speaker 1: whatever it takes, absolutely everything you need till the end,
Speaker 1: they feel comforted. I think that means nothing to me.
Speaker 1: I assume, yeah, well, you're a cynic slash realist. Why
Speaker 1: don't we hit quick word from our friends in Simply Safe.
Speaker 1: Then we've got some really good mailbag. I want to
Speaker 1: get to. You know, that sense of unease as you

Speaker 1: the research you want, you're gonna end up at simply

Speaker 1: So do you think this is a political thing that matters?
Speaker 1: And it would be because but North Carolina be in
Speaker 1: a really tight swing state. It doesn't need to matter
Speaker 1: nationally whether it moves any votes. It mattering in North
Speaker 1: Carolina could make all the difference. Yeah, that's so hard
Speaker 1: to say. As we discussed yesterday, you have the you know,
Speaker 1: growing disgusted with the federal government on the one hand.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, a lot of red counties are
Speaker 1: so devastated. Nobody's quite sure how they're going to get
Speaker 1: the voting together, how they're going to physically conduct voting.
Speaker 1: They get a month, though, and people could be really
Speaker 1: motivated to want to send a message hoping.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Moving along a little bonus mailbag here, Greg writes on
Speaker 1: the topic of old Man Coach Waltz's character. I agree
Speaker 1: that Walt's statement that he was in China for the
Speaker 1: Tien Men Square thing is not important per se. But
Speaker 1: you can tell a lot about his man from a
Speaker 1: lot about a man from his response when called out
Speaker 1: for a mistake. He was given the opportunity to show
Speaker 1: his character. Sadly for him, he did. I wanted to
Speaker 1: believe that Wallt's was a basically decent Midwestern guy with
Speaker 1: very bad ideas, but he's not.
Speaker 2: I think he's a con man. I don't I'm a
Speaker 2: knucklehead at times. I don't think I would do it.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: But you were within a couple of weeks of being
Speaker 1: in China during one of the biggest stories in world history.
Speaker 1: I could see how you decide what how differences make
Speaker 1: For the rest of my life, when I tell this story,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna claim I was there. Wallow was happening. It
Speaker 1: was really interesting. Yeah, it's insane, right, And if somebody
Speaker 1: somehow and how the hell does this happen. This guy's
Speaker 1: in the newspaper like every two weeks, old man Walls.
Speaker 1: It's funny because you can go back and well, well,
Speaker 1: he claimed he was in the National Guard. Here's a
Speaker 1: picture of him fishing with a buddy in the Minneapolis Times.
Speaker 2: It's funny how often this happens. But mind your own
Speaker 2: damn business.
Speaker 1: Anyway, if somebody did bust it, beyond the details, it's
Speaker 1: so easy to say, oh, yeah, I guess I was
Speaker 1: a month off. I did get there right after it.
Speaker 1: We were paying attention to it home and they're in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Everybody's talking about it. But yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I didn't get there to August anyway, go through the
Speaker 1: weird stumbling, bumbling deer in the headlights, panicked rambling, you know,
Speaker 1: not even an explanation uh. Stephen Eugene says, break up
Speaker 1: the dock workers union. The union wants an unreasonable series
Speaker 1: of raises. Well, they got most of it. They want
Speaker 1: to prevent the use of advanced port automated technology. Don't
Speaker 1: care about the effect those things have on the shipping
Speaker 1: industry in our economy in general, prices will go up,
Speaker 1: our ports will fall behind. The port owners need to
Speaker 1: find a way to upgrade the ports in spite of
Speaker 1: union threats.
Speaker 2: Don't give in.
Speaker 1: Start small, find smaller ports, and make the modern show
Speaker 1: they work better, faster and cheaper.
Speaker 2: You really don't need to do that, because it's.
Speaker 1: Well, we have the only mobbed up union y ports
Speaker 1: in the country. I wage we were getting smoked in
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, sorry, the days of mobs to
Speaker 1: run union should be over.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I read a great piece about all this yesterday. We'll
Speaker 1: have to talk about later applying it to other UH industries.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna go with the that people
Speaker 1: should still be writing down license plate numbers by hand
Speaker 1: and not automating.
Speaker 2: Well, more on that later, right indeed, and particularly.
Speaker 1: The topic of fake zoo animals, dogs painted as pandas.
Speaker 1: For instance, Guys, this is Steven writes the absolute best
Speaker 1: fake zoo animal is at the six Flags Park in Vallejo, California.
Speaker 1: The Bobcat enclosure has a Bobcat tractor rather than a
Speaker 1: small wild feline.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking funny.
Speaker 1: If you had a good zoo full of dogs either
Speaker 1: shaved or painted to look like other animals, I would
Speaker 1: knowing that it would be fantastics your ten million dollar
Speaker 1: idea here. It is fantastic because people love cute dogs and.
Speaker 2: You haven't looking like other animals, it would be awesome.
Speaker 1: Jack armstrongs Yeah, Jack Armstrong's painted dog zoo welcome painted
Speaker 1: and shaved.
Speaker 2: Wow. Let's see. We ought to get to that eventually.
Speaker 1: Finally, this along by Alert Sailor listener al Anonymous, the
Speaker 1: Navy is warning San Diego sailors to avoid the following
Speaker 1: places due to anti Israel protests coming up. Of all
Speaker 1: things close to October seventh, when Israel got horrifically attacked
Speaker 1: by savage barbarian terrorists come and people who sympathize with
Speaker 1: them are celebrating that attack because they're anti semi lunatics.
Speaker 1: But the Navy is said there will be a lot
Speaker 1: of anger, and some of it can be might be
Speaker 1: directed at the US Service personnel, So probably don't be
Speaker 1: out in uniform or have any sign that you're a
Speaker 1: service member in San Diego, California, the United States of America.
Speaker 1: You've got to be guides. You've got to be kidding.
Speaker 1: I am not kidding at all. That is crazy. We
Speaker 1: got to talk about that more later too. We got
Speaker 1: a lot Katie's headlines are on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: Another thing we're going to talk about today.
Speaker 1: If you're old enough to remember the Menendez brothers and
Speaker 1: that whole big story, one of them was in prison
Speaker 1: just like right over here for decades. Gascone in La
Speaker 1: who I generally hate everything he's doing, is reopening the
Speaker 1: case because of a letter that has surfaced that makes
Speaker 1: it clear or possible that there was way more sexual
Speaker 1: abuse from the father than was known before for those
Speaker 1: kids before they decided to kill their parents. So they're
Speaker 1: reopening the case, and wow, take another look at it.
Speaker 2: Pretty interesting. Maybe we'll get to more of that later.
Speaker 1: The Big Netflix I think it was on Netflix, the
Speaker 1: big Netflix series on that that got a lot of attention.
Speaker 1: And if you've been talked into having big time sympathy
Speaker 1: for the formerly striking doc workers have a couple of
Speaker 1: perspectives you might find interesting, to say the least. Stay
Speaker 1: with us right now, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 1: It's the lead story with Katie Green, Katie, Hey, you guys.
Speaker 6: NBC News is reel targets presumed a new hasband little
Speaker 6: leader in massive burroot strikes. Iran's leader issues warnings.
Speaker 1: In speech they had to get together yesterday of all
Speaker 1: the higher ups and Hesbela to elect a new person
Speaker 1: in charge. And they blew up the new person that
Speaker 1: was going to be elected and everybody who elected him.
Speaker 2: And way I thought.
Speaker 1: We had trouble getting good people into politics. It seems
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Israel had it dialed in and was
Speaker 1: just waiting for them to all gather for the vote
Speaker 1: and then blew them all up.
Speaker 2: At the same time, yourself, we'd like you to run
Speaker 2: for leader.
Speaker 1: Of hesblat did I loved it? It's such an honor,
Speaker 1: such an honor, you would ask me, Really, I feel
Speaker 1: like I should spend more time with my family and alive.
Speaker 2: From Breitbart.
Speaker 6: FEMA does not have the funds to make it through
Speaker 6: a hurricane season, but six hundred and forty million dollars
Speaker 6: allotted for illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, it's an emergency of your own creation, Alijandro,
Speaker 1: You lion pis like, hold me back.
Speaker 2: Fox News.
Speaker 6: US economy added two hundred than fifty four thousand jobs
Speaker 6: in September, well above expectation.
Speaker 2: Sore, What does this mean? That means the economy's hot.
Speaker 1: So maybe they shouldn't have done a rate cut, or
Speaker 1: we'll do fewer rate cuts. S Yes, that one. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's terrible news. The good news is the worst.
Speaker 2: News from NPR.
Speaker 6: Garth Brooks accused of rape and sexual assault.
Speaker 1: In lawsuits by hair and makeup artist. He vehemently denies that.
Speaker 1: We can get into more of the details coming up.
Speaker 1: I would just say, you never knowing anyone, You never
Speaker 1: know a famous person for real.
Speaker 2: But this would have happened when he was fifty nine.
Speaker 1: Just seems unlikely that he would go through his whole
Speaker 1: life till age fifty nine being this kind of guy
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't know it. And his statement I found
Speaker 1: to be as persuasive as any.
Speaker 2: I have ever run into in a case like that.
Speaker 1: Accuser accuser has a very vivid imagination if it's made up,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of details, so we'll get into.
Speaker 2: A later from Hollywood.
Speaker 1: For one, one, we'll write novels that are like fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred pages long, straight out of their imagination. Side Yeah,
Speaker 1: I realize, Yeah, yeah, Jack siding with the blackmail or
Speaker 1: just for the record on no, no, we need to
Speaker 1: move on.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Hollywood four one one, twelve thousand calls
Speaker 6: made to Ditty abuse claim hotline in twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: You know, if they find a picture of Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: in a hot tub with p Diddy, that won't help though, that'll.
Speaker 2: Change my reckoning. Yeah, for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: There's a big lawsuit against Ditty now accusing him of
Speaker 1: sexually assaulting twenty five miners young people, including a nine
Speaker 1: year old, and it absolutely could be true. On the
Speaker 1: other hand, the floodgates are open, so predators will be
Speaker 1: coming out of the woodwork, you know, on the trying
Speaker 1: to get some money side too.
Speaker 2: It's ugly.
Speaker 6: Billboard in latest political fight over alleged gang activity in Colorado. Oh,
Speaker 6: apparently what you drive when you enter Colorado from Wyoming,
Speaker 6: there's a billboard that says Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Ahead, be prepared. Wow, Oh, put that up.
Speaker 1: Whoever they are, I congratulate them. Do you need a
Speaker 1: few bucks for the cause?
Speaker 6: From the New York Post, McDonald's Big Mac Chicken to
Speaker 6: debut in the United States.
Speaker 2: A Big macmade with chicken. Yes, okay, that's perverse. The
Speaker 2: meme of the day.
