Hey, y'all today, Monday, today, Wednesday, 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.640 thirteen days from the election, we are under the tutelage 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.520 of our general manager, against my better judgment, Adolf Hitler. Oh, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.640 come on, I'm not a fan of Hitler. That's a 0:00:58.760 --> 0:00:59.680 general manager. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:01.240 You know. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:05.760 I've got this break, This awful, awful thought is there's 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.800 a heavily Hitler involved story that's banging around hard and 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.200 lefty media right now. If you were to have told 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.039 old Dolf in the in the bunker, how long ago 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.920 is that eighty years ago? Hey, By the way, folks 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.720 are going to be throwing your name around in the 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:29.319 American presidential election eighty years from now. He just said, wait, what, why? 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.240 What's the context? And yet here we are. We will 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.160 get into that conversation at some point under protest from me. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.000 I'm like at the un when you're a FIGI I 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.120 put up your flag that shows you're there under protest. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.640 I'm under protest on this topic. Oh boy, the biggest 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.120 news of the day. When I got up this morning 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.360 and reached over and grabbed my phone and saw what 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.640 the you know, headlines had come over the in overnight, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.320 the headline that it's been confirmed that North Korea has 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.520 sent troops to Russia. I thought, oh my god, I 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.360 got a f up on the TV and see what 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.559 the smart people are saying about that. I haven't found 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:09.679 anything about that. That is quite the story. Uh yeah, absolutely, 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.440 it's got the potential to be explosive literally, well, very 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.360 very explosive. This is exactly what our administration said and 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.600 what Lloyd Austin, the Secretary Defense said. This is a 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.400 major development, but not worth talking about because we're thirteen 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.839 days from a presidential election. You know, when we get 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.720 obsessed with our presidential elections fits in with what you 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.880 were talking about yesterday, and you know, just decline and 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.200 all that sort of stuff, and that we get so 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.080 inward looking and everything will be fine no matter what. Really, 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.800 just the TV show that is the presidential Elections my 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.520 favorite TV show. So yeah, one guy's whole buddy called 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.200 him a bad name. That's the lead. Well, it's the 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.760 lead if you're Joe Getty, it's not the lead if 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.560 you're we're not as serious. Wow, okay, well let's have 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.400 it out here we go, let's see put your dukes up. 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:59.240 I'm ready. So I let me hit you with these 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.839 headlines that I got yesterday that will lead us into 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.360 this I think. So I was watching. I hope it's 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.639 about the Menendez brothers. And you're not gonna waste any 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.760 more of my time with that whole Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.480 the Menendez brothers, well, which we have to talk about too, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.520 keeps coming up in my real life and continues on, 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.560 and you assure me they're not getting out all right? 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.400 Oh yeah, that that is certainly my my closely held belief. Okay, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.320 so yeah, we do have to talk about that again later. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.320 Of course, there's a Marxist jackass in charge to the 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.919 prosecutor's office in La so who knows that's there. There's 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.200 the Armstrong in Getty angle that nobody knows. The guy 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.040 lets out all kinds of criminals because he wants to 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.880 break down our judicial system that's being left out of 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.400 the conversation one. That's the important part. That's a good angle. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.640 So I think the best political show in America if 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.120 you like politics, is what Mark Alpern does every morning 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.440 and night, where he compiles the information he's got from 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.839 both campaigns on the record and off the record, and 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.160 in a non partisan way, shares it with people. And 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.400 I think it's just absolutely so damned interesting. But here 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.839 among the things that he said yesterday, some of which 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.480 have emerged today, he said in his show last night, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.640 The Atlantic has a story that is going to be 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.760 it's the current October surprise. I don't know if it's 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.600 the October surprise, but it's an October surprise anyway. Jeffrey 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.400 Goldberg at The Atlantic and a bunch of the stuff 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.039 that's coming out of there, in addition with the New 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.640 York Times blah blah blah, that's what we're going to 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.440 be talking about in a little bit. Trump's old friends 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.080 bad mouthing him, so they held onto this stuff until 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:43.080 thirteen days out for some reason. I assume, you know, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.279 to be an October surprise. But here's the other stuff. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.920 Halprin also said he said he's been pitched a story that, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.280 if true, would end Trump's campaign, and he's not the 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.960 kind of guy that throws that around lightly at all. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.920 He knows how Trump is weathered many many a storm 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.680 and all kinds of things. People claim, are you know, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.480 going to do Trump in? Don't And he said he's 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.719 been pitched. Well, not only that, but you got some 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.120 of the smartest people on the planet spending a billion 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.599 dollars to accomplish that very aim to end his presidency. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.440 So if this is that blockbustere bring it, well, my 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.760 guess is it's a crap story because he said he's 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.200 been pitched this story for weeks. He said other people 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.560 are being pitched too. He didn't he didn't give any 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.600 more information on that. So my guess would be it's 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.120 a completely crap story. But so I'm just you know, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.599 let's all be prepared for a really crap story to 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:38.560 land at some point. Remember the uh, the whole Steele 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.720 dossier thing was pitched to all kinds of media outlets 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.320 and they all said, no, we're not going to run 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.280 with this. It's an embarrassment. But then finally was it 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.479 BuzzFeed or whoever did and then the door was opened 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.080 and everybody jumped on it and it became well, the 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.599 biggest story in America for years and years for years. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.800 It perverted the functioning of the Trump admenute for a 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.839 long time. So whatever this story is, and it's not 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.839 the current stuff today, whatever this story is that's so 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.440 big a would end as Trump campaign, somebody's gonna run 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.560 with it a buzzfeetish level of outfit. And then the 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.920 Washington Post, in New York Times and CBS News will 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.400 have the cover to say there are reports that because 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.960 they didn't break the story, and the Steele dossier obviously 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.839 is such a great example of how low you can go, 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.520 because I mean, that was a load of rubbish, right, 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.159 And so with the overall point being that this last 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.599 two weeks is going to be very ugly, very very ugly, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.839 and I think that has begun today. The good news 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.279 if you're on the anti Harris or pro Trump side 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:47.800 of things is everyone agrees if early voting holds where 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.000 it is, and Democrats are trying to spin it in 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.040 all kinds of ways, but if early voting percentages hold 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.360 up the way it is, we will know on election 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.800 Day before they even close the polls that Donald Trump 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.840 is going to be the next president in the United States, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:07.440 it is that overwhelmingly in favor of the Republican candidate currently. Interesting. Yeah, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.440 yeah really thought for focus, yeah, i'd say, And for 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.640 that reason and others, a lot of the big time 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.480 hedge fund and money managers on Wall Street are getting 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.960 heavily behind trades that will work out if Trump is elected. Yeah. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.440 Well you are putting there many heavily in that direction. 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:24.720 Yeah. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.960 Another piece of information on that side is Democratic strategists 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.320 saying they're looking, at what point do they start going 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.880 with the look, Trump's going to win. We need to 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.080 get out there. Trump's going to win unless you and 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.960 they believe that starting this weekend, that will be the message, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.960 like led by Barack Obama, Trump's winning. I mean, they've 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.840 been calling themselves with the underdog, but they haven't been 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.880 flat out saying we're going to lose unless we do this. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.440 And then the other shoe that's going to drop soon 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.720 is Democratic congress people starting to make the argument because 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.280 this is happened in past elections, when it was clear 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.200 Bob Dole was going to lose, when it was clear 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.240 Mitt Romney was going to lose. I mean, sometimes it's 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:10.400 clear the Congress people and senators are going to start 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.120 making the argument, you need to vote for us to 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.040 be a check on Donald Trump. Get out there and 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.880 vote for us. Donald Trump's gonna be president the House 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.760 and the Democrats need to take back the House to 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.000 be a check And you'll start seeing that argument in 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.720 the next thirteen days. We're already seeing the step before that. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:27.960 The uh. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.679 In several of the swing states, congress people and senators 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.520 are running ads saying, hey, I worked with Donald Trump. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.480 I I wrote this law that Donald Trump passed. We've 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.400 worked together in the past vliatively right, which is damn 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.520 near what you're suggesting. Yeah, that's that's that. And that's 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.280 an interesting tell, isn't it. I mean, that's a oh yeah, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.160 we're going to lose, so I better start looking out 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.640 for my own bacon. Well, all I know is I'm 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.360 going to stuck up on Wiener Schnitzel and buy Volkswagen 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.640 stock if you get what I mean. Geez, what with that? 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.719 That's the narrative. I feel like that's snarrative. Himpler, I 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.200 feel like we got to get into that. To the 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.600 fin of Hitler, feel like we got Hec's on the record. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.720 I feel like we got to get into that at 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.160 the bottom of the hour when we got time to 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.480 expound on the whole topic. But let's start the show 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.560 officially or we will be in trouble. I mean, when 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.320 the fascists takeover, they're not going to put up with 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.960 shows starting late. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.720 It is Wednesday, October the twenty third, the year twenty 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.520 twenty four. Life will not be a born twenty four. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.360 We're armstrong and getting. We approve of this program. Let's 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.680 begin officially then, according to FCC rules and regulations, here 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.280 we go at mark. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400 Nearly nine million people have already cast their ballot in 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.880 the general election through early voting. That story again, nearly 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:42.320 nine million people are asking the candidates to please stop texting. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:49.600 Now yeah, well said. It's actually up to about twenty 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.920 million now nationwide people have cast their ballots already, which 0:09:55.160 --> 0:10:00.000 I just the mainstream media presents that with just as 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.360 smile on their face, like that's obviously good news, not 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.640 recognizing of course that I think about half the country cringes. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.280 I cringe just any talk about the early voting because 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.360 it just it just seems like a big giant heap 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.360 and helping of one opportunity for fraud and two people 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.640 not believing in the vote, and it's just not good. Right. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.320 And when NBC breaks the story that Trump has a 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.640 secret prison of children being drained of their youthful blood 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.560 already voted, I don't think that would even end his campaign. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.160 Surely it would have burned it, but yeah, god darn it. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.640 So there is a bit of an October surprise out 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.960 today with some quotes from former staff members of Trump 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.520 that are getting all the coverage on the left side 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.960 of media, and we'll get into that. It is going 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.440 to be a long thirteen days. How about the idea 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:01.240 that if the early vote as an indication of where 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.560 the things are going, it's going to be easy to 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.400 call the election On election night, It'll be like the 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.040 old days where okay, and the polls have closed and 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.319 Trump has won. So how is America going to react? 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.400 How is half of America going to react? What? Not 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.760 only he won, but he's like already one. I think 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.400 it will be horrifarious. There will be absolute moments of 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.439 hilarious unintentional comedy of the Katy Perry's crying Share is 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:33.560 crying variety, and there will also be angry, self righteous 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.720 lunatics who will and this exists across the aisle, folks, angry, 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:43.160 self righteous lunatics who will feel that lawlessness, ugliness, violence, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:48.319 criminality in general are justified. And there's way too sicka 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.880 vein of that running through American society and politics right 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.080 mat now. In my opinion, do we have Obama rapping 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.000 to lose yourself with Eminem on stage last night. That's 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.440 a cool thing to get to do. I gotta admit, 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.720 if I was on stage with Eminem and a microphone, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.520 I'd like to join in. That'd be a cool moment. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.280 But Barack Obama did because celebrities are a thing on 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:11.520 the democratic side. Springsteens Springsteen's getting out with Kamala for 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.280 the weekend. There you go, huh. I'd get up there 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.679 and trade lines with Kid Rock because he's on the 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.920 right side of the aisle, him and Ted Nugent. I'd 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:24.760 roundhouse kick somebody with Chuck Norris. Yeah, how does mailbag look? 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.200 It's it's good. It' stop provoking cool. A lot of 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.679 really interesting stuff on the way. Our text line is 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:38.080 four one, five, two nine five KFTC. I put too 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.760 much cream in my coffee today and I feel nauseous 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.959 as smart. I feel like the New York Times changed 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:51.680 their headline, which happens fairly regularly in the modern world. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.920 You're not crazy if you like go back to an 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.080 article online and it looks different. They day update stuff constantly, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:06.760 which is annoying. But the new headline is US says 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:11.080 North Korean troops are in Russia to aid fight against Ukraine. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.000 I don't think the headline said that earlier, that the 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.760 North Koreans are going to be involved in fighting Ukraine. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:20.640 That's a heck of a thing for us to say 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.520 in a heck of a development. But more on that later. Indeed, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.000 here's your freedom loving quote of the day from Thomas Jefferson. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:31.600 Once again, history in general only informs us what bad 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:38.520 government is. It's interesting history, Like so many stories that 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.319 are told are mostly about bad things happening, and unluckily 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.560 we are not warned away by any of those stories 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.920 because we learned nothing from history. Yeah, that was an 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.120 interesting observation from TJ mailbag. That's terrific, So let's get 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.760 to it. Drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong 0:13:54.760 --> 0:14:00.120 Egeeddy dot com. Chuck Wrights to Joe and Katie. When 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.439 Joe hits his last day of punching in late will 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.840 you be hiring anyone soon? Two companies I work for 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.800 allowed twelve days of coming in late day thirteen Audio 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.240 Studio C. First of all, Chuck, it's Jack, Jack who 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.960 is late, Not Joe but Joe. Me, Joe punctual, captain punctual, 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.160 they call me. But that keeps the street. But that 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.200 keeps the streak going, which is weird. People always get 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.280 us backwards. Yes, Oh, I know it's odd, isn't it 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.480 interesting time everyday listeners do? Oh yeah, people that listen 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.960 every single day all the time. People that know me 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.920 sometimes talk about things Joe did and his family and 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.400 how his kids are doing college or whatever. Interested. That 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.280 was just Jack talking jet anyway? Oh what was I 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.720 gonna say? Uh, someday we got to explain why you're 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.960 late sometimes. Okay, you're a bad person anyway, No, I 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.280 can't I take long. If you've ever noticed, I'm not 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.160 the least bit rofled because I know why he's late. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.560 It's because he's cramming as hard as he can to 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.640 laminit he has to jet out of his house anyway. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.320 Most mostly plus your love of racketball. You like to 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.160 work in a game in the morning. Does anybody play 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:11.320 racketball anymore? I do hot yoga? Yeah yeah. Moving along, Jack. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:16.360 Jack's story about his Apple iPhone experience preventing his fragilized 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.280 from semi nudity was hilarious. Here's my Apple problem. I'm 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.360 a thirty two year old woman, writes them, and my 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.440 phone regularly asked me. At the end of my work day, 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.240 when it connects to my car, would you like to 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.200 text Mom and let her know you're on your way? 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:27.960 No? 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:33.560 Apple, No, I would not. That's hilarious. Yeah, it is. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.040 It is. This is two notes in a row, practically 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.000 back to back from cal Unicornians. I opened my official 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:45.000 ballot tonight, writes Dot. It contained one copy of page 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.320 one of two that's the President, etc. And two copies 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.160 of page two the propositions. For some reason, I told 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.240 my husband he opened his envelope. His contained one copy 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.960 of page one, but no copy of page two. Should 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.680 I be worried? I've already got very little confidence in 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.720 California's elections. And then we get this from John in 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:09.240 San Diego. I hate that we're automatically mailed to ballot 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.240 in California. My house received six ballots. One was a 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.880 neighbors delivered to the wrong address, two were for people 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.360 who moved out of the state years ago, two were 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.120 for my father and I. You have the same name 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.440 and address, and we're not sure which belongs to whom. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.760 If we fill them out mixed up and the signatures 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.000 don't match, neither of our votes will count even if 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.800 they check. It's outrageous that this is our system. The 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.720 opportunity for fraud mistakes are just too high. That's intentional. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.000 A ego voted person, probably not a preferably not on 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.840 a machine. He says, Yeah, I've received five at my 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.600 house because I'm in a rental where a bunch of 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.440 people used to live there. So I've received mine and 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.840 five others ballots six total. We got an email from 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.120 a text from somebody in Nevada who had all kinds 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.880 of ballot weirdness coming to their house. They've received two 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:59.800 and they don't know why. I got this from Charlotte. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.720 Thank you for uh speaking up for women who oppose 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.800 males in their sports and spaces. You got to try 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.800 to stop me, And Steve says, hey, why don't San 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.639 Jose states opposing teams just try out their men's teams 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.040 say they all identify as women. I would love somebody 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.640 to do that. I think that would bring this madness 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.880 to an end. We got some election stuff we got 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.080 to tell you about. There's a lot going on. It's 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:28.720 going to be an ugly couple of weeks. Armstrong Andy 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:29.960 more than once that. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.560 You know the Hitler did some good things too, And 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:37.600 of course, if you know history again, I think he's 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.439 lacking in that. But if you know what his you 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.520 know him it was all about, uh, you'd be pretty 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.600 hard to make an argument that you did anything good. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:53.080 That is General John Kelly, former chief staff for Donald J. Trump, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.600 who is out saying some very critical things about Trump. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.760 Do we happa? Do we have Yester? Absolutely? Absolutely? Why 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.399 do we have to do this? I have two thoughts. 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.399 I mean I have more than two thoughts, but I 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.560 have two thoughts that I'd like to share at this moment. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.480 I have only two thoughts. I am hungry and I 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.480 want to pleasure myself. Those are my two thoughts. Food good, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:18.960 fire bad food plus fire very good. 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:19.760 No. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.399 My two thoughts again from the opening, if you were 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.920 to tell Hitler and the bunker. You're going to be 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.919 regularly referenced in the year twenty twenty four in the 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.000 American election. He would say, what's the context? I mean, 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:42.560 what are they saying? I mean, come on, secondly, I 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:47.480 reject that idiotic notion expressed by General Kelly there, who 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.480 I'm sure is a fine explain it. We got to 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.720 go this direction. I think we have to before you explain, 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.000 explain the I would have voted to not even bring 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.879 this up. Yes, I made Now bring it well. I 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.040 think it's an interesting conversation. So I flip on all 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.119 my news sources today, as I always do. Read a 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:09.920 bunch of different things, watch a bunch of different things. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.360 MSNBC is going wall to wall with the stuff you're 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.480 about to hear of in I'm gonna use my finger 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.520 quotes here Trump admiring Hitler, as is CNN, and some 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:27.439 of the alphabet and the and the takeaway being it's 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:32.000 just another example in the ongoing narrative that Trump wants 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.560 to be a fascist. Trump is a fascist, wants to 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.879 be a fascist, will rule like a fascist, wants to 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.040 be a dictator, and that we all needed. Well, they've 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.080 been you'd thrown around the f word a lot today, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.119 and I would like them to all define that for 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.280 the first For first of all, what do you mean 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.600 by fascism? Since nobody can define that term. But and 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.879 I think it was in nineteen forty six that George 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.840 Orwell said, Yeah, the word fascism has become meaningless. It 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.159 now just means things I don't like. But then I 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.520 took in some of my right leaning media like Fox 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.679 and other stuff like that, and there's mention of the 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.320 story whatsoever. And I thought, is our job as a 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:08.520 show to alert people in our audience to the scandal 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.520 of the day being peddled by MSNBC. Are we doing 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.800 MSNBC's work for them by putting that out there? Are 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.400 you better off not hearing this crab? And I don't 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.000 actually know the answer to that question, But we do 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:29.240 that all the time. Yeah, we do that every day, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:34.520 multiple times per day. And retreating from that outraged tone 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:36.880 of voice that I was adopting, you know, some are 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.600 worthy of it and some or not. It's just a 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.000 question of whether it's an interesting discussion or not. As 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.080 far as I'm concerned. Yeah, I feel like is there 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.600 something there? I feel like this reaches into the territory 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:52.080 of like taking the bait. Basically, it's like when Trump 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.760 took the bait on people leave your rally early and 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.040 he lost his mind, or Kamala took the bait on 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.600 he's at McDonald's in their campaign and their side lost 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.000 their mind. I don't I don't like to be jerked 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:08.600 around by dumb what I think are dumb stories. You 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:13.200 think a highly I can't remember what his ultimate rank was, 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.239 John Kelly, but he's a four star general. There you go, 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.160 and he was Trump's chief of staff, saying the guys 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:20.640 had not seen he shouldn't be in the White House. 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.000 You don't think that's a story worthy of taking on. Well, 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.720 I think it's because, hey, you think that's junk. He's 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:30.760 said it so many times. It's just so revisiting this again. 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.840 It's the major story in the major news media. We're 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.200 taking it on courageously. Well one of us is, anyway, 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.359 is it the major story in the major news media. 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.240 I've only seen it on the cable news channels, which 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.800 what they care about does not count. But if it's 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.320 if it's making it too like, I don't even know 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.240 what you call this kind of media, ABC, CBS, NBC 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.040 as opposed to the cable news channel. That's a different 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.280 level to me. But anyway, that's that's okay. Now now 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.640 we're going at it hammer and tongs. That is, there 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:07.919 is a dude on TikTok who like features really attractive shoelaces, 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.439 who has five thousand times the following of ABC News. 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:18.360 They're they're they're Yesterday's news. There your your granny's doily's 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:22.159 they're nothing. I'm just speaking of different journalistic standards that 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.480 I believe still exist barely because they're they're none on 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.800 your cable news channels. Zero. You're all in for one 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.680 of that. You're all in for one side or the other. 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:35.560 You might as well be paid outlet for whichever campaign. Uh, 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.879
