Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and no Hee Armstrong and Getty. So I just
Speaker 1: thought this was an interesting little insight to where we
Speaker 1: are not surprising. We've talked about it a lot with
Speaker 1: the current president still happened seventy five days left as
Speaker 1: leader of the free world. These are the jokes they
Speaker 1: opened with on Morning Joe on MSNBC Today.
Speaker 2: President Biden addressed the nation for the first time since
Speaker 2: Trump won the election. Democrats are like, well, I guess
Speaker 2: at this point, we can let him.
Speaker 1: Speak again, let him tell, well, let's God.
Speaker 2: Help during his peace Biden said, you can love your
Speaker 2: country only when you win. Then he said, but since
Speaker 2: I didn't win or lose, I can do whatever the
Speaker 2: hell I want.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, it doesn't matter. I'm inviting that baby's
Speaker 1: leg hair.
Speaker 2: Biden also try to comfort Democrats by saying, the America
Speaker 2: of your dreams is calling for you to get back up,
Speaker 2: and Biden said, now, excuse me, I need to go
Speaker 2: take a nap.
Speaker 1: While many expected a speech about the peaceful transfer of
Speaker 1: power and moving on old Joe had another idea. He
Speaker 1: had a major announcement up his sleeve. I'm saying a race.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell him, man, So so is that just
Speaker 1: where we are? It's it's just we just openly mock
Speaker 1: the leader of the free world, or the leader of
Speaker 1: the world really for being old and out of it
Speaker 1: and irrelevant. And I mean even the left is doing that.
Speaker 1: It's just we all know, he's just his mind doesn't work,
Speaker 1: and he's tired, and he barely knows what day it is,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't even know who won the election. But ah,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Is that just that seems that I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the way we're gonna wrap this up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is exhibit A in one of the two really
Speaker 1: interesting tectonic plate shifts that I think this election had
Speaker 1: made clear. One is what the hell is the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party and can they reform themselves? But the other one
Speaker 1: is new media versus old media, the world of podcasting,
Speaker 1: alternative media like ourselves for instance, and the alphabet networks
Speaker 1: and the cable news guys and the rest of it.
Speaker 1: And a case has been made quite eloquently, and to me,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just the jury doesn't even need to
Speaker 1: retire to the jury room. That the mainstream media was
Speaker 1: utterly dishonest about Joe Biden and his senility, and then
Speaker 1: when it became so inescapably clear, everybody had to admit it.
Speaker 1: They immediately switched to the incredibly unpopular, never elected to
Speaker 1: a national office. Kamala Harris is a political genius and
Speaker 1: everybody knows it, and she's below and that people noticed it,
Speaker 1: and the legacy media is hurting for certain. But on
Speaker 1: the other as it's dressed by uh, Jeff Bezos that
Speaker 1: his first name. Yeah, for some reason, I didn't sell
Speaker 1: right Bezos in the Washington Post right before the election.
Speaker 1: You know, you change things, We're going to be complete,
Speaker 1: completely irrelevant and dominated by podcasts and whatnot. So he
Speaker 1: gets it, and there's a chance some good changes come
Speaker 1: out of all this. Yeah. If I had a choice between,
Speaker 1: say I had some sort of cause that I really
Speaker 1: really wanted to pitch, or I wanted to get elected
Speaker 1: to something, and you gave me a choice between the
Speaker 1: front page of the Watch Washington Post or Joe Rogan, please, right,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even think about it. I wouldn't even ask
Speaker 1: anybody's advice. So that's one of the interesting tectonic plates
Speaker 1: shifts that's become apparent and will be interesting to see. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you get a chance to recommend
Speaker 1: the Armstrong You Getty show or podcast of friends, do it,
Speaker 1: which I that'd be lovely. We're in dire strait, so
Speaker 1: oh my lord, my wife she spends and she spent kidding.
Speaker 1: She's one of the most practical women who's ever existed
Speaker 1: on the planet. God bless her anyway. The other super
Speaker 1: interesting tectonic shift is what is the Democratic Party? And
Speaker 1: I use the term the say no crats last hour
Speaker 1: because I've come across a couple of died in the
Speaker 1: world Democrats, including maybe we'll start with this. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce the man's name. It's are you
Speaker 1: why his last name is to Shera? But is that Roy?
Speaker 1: Is that like a Hispanic version of Roy? Or is
Speaker 1: it Ruy or I don't know. So no, no disrespect
Speaker 1: to mister Riff for not knowing how to pronounce his name.
Speaker 1: But his his sub stack blog article column thing he
Speaker 1: is called the Liberal Patriot and his article today is
Speaker 1: the shattering of the Democratic Coalition and it's time to
Speaker 1: face the fact. And man is he thorough. He goes
Speaker 1: through well, he starts with the whole the obligatory calling
Speaker 1: your opponents fascists and Nazis, and how ugly and stupid
Speaker 1: that is as a strategy, and then he goes into
Speaker 1: just an astounding set of statistics about how Harris underperformed
Speaker 1: Biden among men and women. The reason there was such
Speaker 1: a big gender gap was, well, she performed Biden way
Speaker 1: worse among men than she underperformed among women. But she
Speaker 1: underformed underperformed both and Blacks and Hispanics and Asian Americans
Speaker 1: and young people and except for the sixty five plus
Speaker 1: woman crowd, old people, everybody, but like middle aged and
Speaker 1: white college aged educated women. I mean, like everybody, but
Speaker 1: that group that is so enamored with calling everybody Nazis
Speaker 1: and totally into critical race theory and transgender. You know,
Speaker 1: men can be birthing persons, menstruating little boys. That crowd,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like the only ones. And then he
Speaker 1: gets too and this is why I coin the term canocrats.
Speaker 1: He writes, here's an idea to start with, have every
Speaker 1: democrat ostentatiously say they subscribe to the following principles, and
Speaker 1: he says these principles would signal to normy voters, particularly
Speaker 1: working class voters of all races, the Democrats values and
Speaker 1: priorities are not so different from theirs. So prerequisite for
Speaker 1: getting these voters to listen to Democrats pitch and take
Speaker 1: it seriously. So here it is every Democrat has to
Speaker 1: say they subscribe to the following principles. Equality of opportunity
Speaker 1: is a fundamental American principle. Equality of outcome is not.
Speaker 1: America is not perfect, but it is good to be
Speaker 1: patriotic and proud of this country. Well, I see, I
Speaker 1: agree with this stuff, But like that first one, you're
Speaker 1: never going to get a Democratic candidate or people running
Speaker 1: for the nomination to say that out loud, not a chance.
Speaker 1: Then the Democratic Party will die. That's his point. The
Speaker 1: only way the Democratic Party saves itself is by and
Speaker 1: there's no reason to say go back to because you know,
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as going back to restore the
Speaker 1: core principles of America to the core principles of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, or they will die. What did I see?
Speaker 1: I mean fitting in with that a little bit. Elon
Speaker 1: tweeted it out yesterday, I think the number was Kamala
Speaker 1: had something like seventy five billionaires on her side, and
Speaker 1: you know, everybody acts like Elon's the only billionaire and
Speaker 1: he put the he wait in for Trump and that
Speaker 1: made the difference. And the billionaires don't want to pay
Speaker 1: their fair share. Okay, But back to to SHARE's list.
Speaker 1: Discrimination and racism are bad, but they are not the
Speaker 1: cause of all disparities in American society. Racial achievement gaps
Speaker 1: are bad and we should seek to close them. However,
Speaker 1: they are not just due to race, and standards of
Speaker 1: high achievement should be maintained for people of all races.
Speaker 1: Do you hear that California? You hear that Oregon, Washington
Speaker 1: eliminating any sort of test to get a high school diploma.
Speaker 1: No one is completely without bias, but calling all white
Speaker 1: people racists who benefit from white privilege in American society
Speaker 1: as a white supremacist society is not right or fair. God,
Speaker 1: I hope this is dead? Is it dead? Is the
Speaker 1: whole anti racist Ebram Kenny thing? Is it over? Was
Speaker 1: it just an unfortunate blip that I had to live
Speaker 1: through where you talk about crap like white privilege? And
Speaker 1: the more you deny your white privilege, the more it's
Speaker 1: proof you've got it, and all that crap. I sure
Speaker 1: hope it will be eventually. But you know, as I
Speaker 1: have pointed out before, the problem is that we've almost
Speaker 1: got the opposite problem of like the Japanese soldiers who
Speaker 1: hadn't heard about the surrender and we're stuck in the
Speaker 1: jungles with their guns waiting to fight again. We've got
Speaker 1: the opposite thing. We have tens of that hundred millions
Speaker 1: of young people being churned out of an education system
Speaker 1: that is teaching this stuff one hundred percent as much
Speaker 1: as they were two three, four years ago. Everybody else
Speaker 1: has realized, oh, this is poison and it's wrong, but
Speaker 1: not our education system. So we've got like millions of
Speaker 1: Japanese soldiers coming out of their military academies looking for
Speaker 1: the fight, which is why we're we're at the end
Speaker 1: of the beginning. And that's it. More from this list
Speaker 1: of things every Democrat must sign on to or they're
Speaker 1: going to die as a party after a word from
Speaker 1: our friends, and there's stuff about patriotism and supporting the
Speaker 1: military too, like Warrior Foundation, Freedom Station they're celebrating their
Speaker 1: twenty year anniversary anniversary. You've heard us talking for years
Speaker 1: about this great foundation near and dear to us. They
Speaker 1: do wonderful work. Oh yeah, We've helped raise millions of
Speaker 1: dollars for Warrior Foundation and happy to do it. The
Speaker 1: countdown is onto their annual Freedom Station Givethon, which takes
Speaker 1: place next Thursday. So this holiday season, consider making a
Speaker 1: donation to fly ill and injured Marine soldiers and sailors
Speaker 1: home for the holidays. Everyone deserves to spend the holidays
Speaker 1: with their loved ones, especially those who so bravely sacrificed
Speaker 1: for our country. And we've seen at firsthand how Warrior
Speaker 1: Foundation continues to make a huge impact in the lives
Speaker 1: of our warriors with your continued support. So consider making
Speaker 1: a tax deductible donation next Thursday, November fourteenth at Warrior
Speaker 1: Foundation dot org. Not only are they flying our ill
Speaker 1: and injured fighters home for the holidays, they're building a
Speaker 1: third transitional housing property. Is fabulous work. Go to Warrior
Speaker 1: Foundation dot org to donate. Make sure you get the
Speaker 1: name right Warrior Foundation dot org. Talking about Warrior Foundation
Speaker 1: and the fact that Veterans Day is coming up reminds
Speaker 1: me I do want to talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: the unsettled world Trump is about to inherit and the
Speaker 1: different directions a couple of things could go. But more
Speaker 1: on that later. So back to Tishaar's piece, which is
Speaker 1: so good and a lot of it follows the same
Speaker 1: kind of ab form and I get why like this one.
Speaker 1: America benefits from the presence of immigrants and no immigrant
Speaker 1: even if illegals should be mistreated. So he starts with
Speaker 1: the disclaimer on all of these to make it a
Speaker 1: little more palatable for DS. But border security is hugely important,
Speaker 1: as is an enforceable system that fairly decides who can
Speaker 1: enter the country. Then he talks about police brutalities bad. However,
Speaker 1: more and better policing is needed to get criminals off
Speaker 1: the streets and secure public safety that cannot be provided
Speaker 1: by defunding the police. And then he touches on uh oh,
Speaker 1: and I love this, love this, love this. People who
Speaker 1: want to live as a gender different from their biological
Speaker 1: sex should have that right. However, biological sex is real
Speaker 1: and space is limited to biological women in areas like
Speaker 1: sports in prisons should be preserved. Medical treatments like drugs
Speaker 1: and surgery are serious interventions that should not be available
Speaker 1: on demand, especially for children. Then he gets into language
Speaker 1: policing and a very sane view of climate change, including
Speaker 1: the fact that we're gonna need fossil fuels. He says,
Speaker 1: we must make America more equal, but we must also
Speaker 1: make it richer. There's no contradiction between the two. A
Speaker 1: richer country will make it easier to promote equality, and
Speaker 1: he goes on and on. So watching this battle unfold,
Speaker 1: it's like a civil war on the left side of
Speaker 1: the aisle. I think reality bats last. As you pointed
Speaker 1: out many times, Jack, I like the sane side to
Speaker 1: win that fight for the Democratic Party, but man, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a bloody civil war. Got some more
Speaker 1: information on that giant Chinese hack of all our cell phones,
Speaker 1: the biggest hack in US history. China currently can listen
Speaker 1: to your phone calls and read your text like today.
Speaker 1: Did you know that They've been doing it for like
Speaker 1: a year, So we don't even actually know. We don't
Speaker 1: know if we can ever boot them out of our
Speaker 1: cell phone systems. We don't know how to do it,
Speaker 1: or if we ever can. I mean, it's the most
Speaker 1: underreported story in America right now. But a new angle
Speaker 1: on that and a bunch of other stuff on the
Speaker 1: way stay here.
Speaker 3: Armstrong Hetti, a prosecutor's office in Argentina, announced criminal charges
Speaker 3: today against three people in the death of Liam Payne,
Speaker 3: the former One Direction singer, fell from a hotel balcony
Speaker 3: in Buenos Aires last month. Authority say Pain had traces
Speaker 3: of alcohol, cocaine, and antidepressants in his system when he died.
Speaker 3: One of the suspects is a hotel worker, Authoriti say,
Speaker 3: another is a drug dealer. The third is someone who
Speaker 3: had been accompanying Pain during his stay in Buenos Aires.
Speaker 1: So I've been surprised at how much attention this story
Speaker 1: has gotten because One Direction is a boy band that
Speaker 1: broke up quite a few years ago, and other than
Speaker 1: Harry Styles, I didn't know anybody knew the names of
Speaker 1: any of those people. And then one of them jumps
Speaker 1: to his death off a balcony, out of his mind
Speaker 1: on drugs and booze a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: the amount of news coverage you got, all your mainstream
Speaker 1: news has gone with it for weeks now and updates.
Speaker 1: But I do find this angle interesting, whether you know
Speaker 1: who the guy was or not. How the hell do
Speaker 1: you possibly determine blame in situations where he got people,
Speaker 1: everybody's partying like crazy, out of their minds high, and
Speaker 1: one guy who's depressed jumps off a balcony. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I can't imagine how you nailed
Speaker 1: down people who are at fault for that or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sympathetic to the idea that there's
Speaker 1: liability there, and certainly if they are poisoned, which is
Speaker 1: different from like an overdose, in that you gave them
Speaker 1: a substance you mis represented what you were giving them,
Speaker 1: that's a poisoning, not an overdose. His cause of death
Speaker 1: seems to have been gravity. Yeah, well, yeah, I don't right,
Speaker 1: as I said, extremely as I said at the time,
Speaker 1: and I regret he went one direction down and I
Speaker 1: was really beating up pretty harshly for that, as was appropriate,
Speaker 1: as was appropriate. But yeah, I was jumping off the
Speaker 1: balcony that killed him. But I don't know. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine trying to sort out that sort of a mess
Speaker 1: on who's to blame? It's like you're gonna be charged
Speaker 1: with I don't know, I know that happens. Well, I
Speaker 1: also don't know anything about argentinium laws, but I am
Speaker 1: happy that it's some places in California to your point,
Speaker 1: and around the country. They're now charging people. You give
Speaker 1: somebody a fentanyl pill and they die, you murdered them, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is good. But if you need more of that,
Speaker 1: someone's super distraught and drinking and taking drugs for on
Speaker 1: a binge for weeks at a time, and they jump
Speaker 1: off a balcony, how would you possibly nail down I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess we'll see how that trial turns out.
Speaker 1: The Chinese are listening, can listen to your phone calls today.
Speaker 1: I was talking to my kids about this yesterday and
Speaker 1: my son said, and he is correct, Why would the
Speaker 1: Chinese have any interest in what I'm saying on my
Speaker 1: phone call? Well, they probably don't, but you suppose they're
Speaker 1: recording them all some sort of terabytes of because I said,
Speaker 1: for one thing, we don't know what you're going to
Speaker 1: be someday, if you're a police chief or a politician
Speaker 1: or a who knows what, and then they've got something
Speaker 1: on you that they can use for blackmail. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that they're doing it. How
Speaker 1: about all your texts over the last year, anybody got
Speaker 1: any texts out there of any kind that you'd rather
Speaker 1: not have be shared with the world, China adds them, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And now I am fairly certain, based partly on conversations
Speaker 1: I've had with folks in the counter intelligence business and
Speaker 1: partly just my own surmising, but China absolutely has probably
Speaker 1: some sort of color coded or some sort of code
Speaker 1: of Americans based on what they do and who they
Speaker 1: are and how they could conceivably be useful to the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. And then I'm sure they cross reference
Speaker 1: with and this is fairly easy to do with computers,
Speaker 1: people who say things that are clearly you know, blackmailable. Well,
Speaker 1: how about so, once again to bring up the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight presidential election, way too early. Every single person
Speaker 1: that's going to run for president in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 1: on both sides, try to be a nominee. China has
Speaker 1: their phone calls and texts of the last year. I
Speaker 1: think there's anything in there for any of those governors
Speaker 1: or senators or mayors of small towns or whatever that
Speaker 1: are going to run for president that the Chinese could
Speaker 1: use as blackmail or embarrassment or something well right, and
Speaker 1: if you have blackmailable, slash embarrassing material, that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's coded in your software or whatever, and then in
Speaker 1: five years you cross reference that with who works for
Speaker 1: an aerospace company. Oh and I left out one of
Speaker 1: the headlines. The federal government told the whole bunch of
Speaker 1: federal employees yesterday to don't do anything sensitive on your
Speaker 1: phones anymore. So back to paper and pen. I guess
Speaker 1: that's something armstrong and getty.
Speaker 4: I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has
Speaker 4: set in. I am a very petty person, and I
Speaker 4: am very proud of that. Love it about myself. Actually,
Speaker 4: and so I say this in the most disrespectful way possible.
Speaker 4: I don't care if you are my family. I don't
Speaker 4: care if we've been friends our entire lives. You can
Speaker 4: literally go for yourself. If you voted for Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: if you are so sad about your groceries being expensive,
Speaker 4: get a better paying job, do better in life, get
Speaker 4: a education, do something because you're stupid, And I hope
Speaker 4: you go jump off of a fire bridge.
Speaker 1: That's a professor at a college. Holy cow. So if
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat, my feeling is we can either play
Speaker 1: that crowd, continue to play that crowd and hope for
Speaker 1: the best the Twitter crowd, or we can go back
Speaker 1: to being the party of the regular working class dude
Speaker 1: who doesn't believe probably any of the things that that
Speaker 1: guy believes. That that's the big conundrum if you're a Democrat,
Speaker 1: because all those like my I come from a family,
Speaker 1: like everybody on my dad's side's a Democrat, all like
Speaker 1: Iowa farmer type people, Democrats from the old Democrat tradition.
Speaker 1: But there's not a one of them that thinks, you know,
Speaker 1: dudes should be in women's sports, or you should use
Speaker 1: the term latinix or any of those things. If they've
Speaker 1: even you know, not a one of them, You just
Speaker 1: you've abandoned that kind of Democrat. And that's why all
Speaker 1: those people, I'd be shocked if like every one of
Speaker 1: them didn't vote for Trump this past Tuesday. Also lifelong Democrats,
Speaker 1: So you know, and I was, we're so in the moment,
Speaker 1: I had to be reminded of some things in the
Speaker 1: very recent past, like I wonder how many of your
Speaker 1: dad's kin would be in favor of firing any soldier, firefighter,
Speaker 1: healthy young man, for instance, who wouldn't get the COVID
Speaker 1: jab right right right? Keeping schools closed even though the
Speaker 1: one next door that's private is open. How in favor
Speaker 1: of that? Were they? A couple of things here? One,
Speaker 1: there was a rumor going around. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you call news anymore. That's not true. Do you call
Speaker 1: him rumors? I guess you call it misinformation. There was
Speaker 1: a misinformation going around on social media from a number
Speaker 1: of fairly high profile people on Twitter, for instance. Trump
Speaker 1: has announced that he was misleading people about Project twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five and he plans to enact it within hours
Speaker 1: of the president and people were taking it seriously. Oh geez,
Speaker 1: what's the matter with you? People with ad journalist from
Speaker 1: The Dispatch, which is a very fair organization, anti Trump,
Speaker 1: but very fair news organization, the Dispatch. Trump hasn't announced
Speaker 1: he lied about Project twenty twenty five. He hasn't even
Speaker 1: mentioned Project twenty twenty five since becoming president elect, and
Speaker 1: during a campaign Trump called it seriously extreme and said
Speaker 1: he never read it, which is the truth, right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious on so many levels. You think Trump is
Speaker 1: taking the views of think tanks. I mean, what view
Speaker 1: of you on the left is it of Trump that
Speaker 1: includes him big on think tanks telling him what to do.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't fit. Yeah. Yeah, But here's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things that came across yesterday from the New
Speaker 1: York Times if I can find it, the headline being
Speaker 1: news analysis for Black women. America has revealed its true self.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's resounding defeat affirmed the worst of what many
Speaker 1: Black women believed about their country. Even if some of
Speaker 1: them looked to the future with waryed determination, and they
Speaker 1: go through blah blah blah blah blah what happened, But
Speaker 1: underneath their hope and determination for Kamala Harris was a
Speaker 1: persistent Was America ready? They asked to elect a black woman?
Speaker 1: The painful answer arrived this week. This is news analysis
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, not just some people's opinions
Speaker 1: that can be proven wrong by all the data from
Speaker 1: all just exit pollings, flat out data. However you want
Speaker 1: to look at it. It's very easily refuted that this
Speaker 1: is true, but your news analysis goes along with it.
Speaker 1: Back to the news analysis, it affirmed the worst of
Speaker 1: what many black women believed about their country, that it
Speaker 1: would rather choose a man who was and they list
Speaker 1: all the things about Donald Trump that they don't like
Speaker 1: than send a woman of color to the White House. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it was. It was all about it
Speaker 1: being a woman of color. They're actually delusional. I would
Speaker 1: think if you want to win elections, you'd want to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what actually happened. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's really easy to say it was racism and sexism
Speaker 1: and just rest on I don't know what we do
Speaker 1: racists and sexist. That's nuts. You're nuts if you actually
Speaker 1: believe that, you're crazier or I know you can't handle
Speaker 1: the truth as a trite phrase, but maybe you actually
Speaker 1: can't handle the truth. No, it's a good one. That's
Speaker 1: a fine phrase. Yeah, And you know it's funny. There's
Speaker 1: part of me, the part of me that wants conservative
Speaker 1: values to be the ones that rule the day, who's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just keep going down that road, keep making it all
Speaker 1: about identity politics, even as many Democrats, and we have
Speaker 1: a number of their voices ready to go today, are
Speaker 1: saying we've got to dump the woke thing, the transgender thing,
Speaker 1: We've got to dump identity politics. It's unhealthy and Unamerican.
Speaker 1: But they have They're the ones who publish the newsletter.
Speaker 1: They've got the media and entertainment and education. Those lunatics,
Speaker 1: you know who I pity. I pity moderate Democrats all
Speaker 1: are Oh man, you got you got crazy people in
Speaker 1: your house and they're running around brandishing knives. It's like
Speaker 1: fatal Attraction was at the movie with the Glenn Closes
Speaker 1: and the rabbit and everything. You've got actual murderous lunatics
Speaker 1: running around in your own house. So we've got Trump,
Speaker 1: but you know it will deal with that. So then
Speaker 1: they build their case for this news analysis by quoting
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of older black women who unfortunately are
Speaker 1: delusional or have been misled by what's actually going on,
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they go with the whole multiple
Speaker 1: anecdotes equals data thing. So you have six people agreeing
Speaker 1: with you, and so that's proof that this is true,
Speaker 1: I guess. And then they get to what a lot
Speaker 1: of journalists on the right call the to be sure paragraph,
Speaker 1: where you have to throw in some reality to like
Speaker 1: justify your journalism. I guess many Democrats saw the brutal
Speaker 1: political environment for the party. Yeah, like inflation and immigration
Speaker 1: peppered with anger about President Biden's leadership has more to
Speaker 1: blame for Miss Harris's crushing loss than the double edged
Speaker 1: sword of racism and sexism. But others reflecting on a
Speaker 1: campaign listen to this description from The New York Times.
Speaker 1: This is news analysis. This is not supposed to be
Speaker 1: an opinion piece. Others reflecting on a campaign devoid of
Speaker 1: controversy or obvious missteps by a qualified candidate who almost
Speaker 1: never held out a race or gender as reasons to
Speaker 1: vote for or found it difficult to ignore suspicions about
Speaker 1: why mister Trump won with the such ease. So the
Speaker 1: New York Times Day narrative stated many times in many
Speaker 1: forums it was practically a perfect can the New York
Speaker 1: Times saying with a straight face that the campaign was
Speaker 1: devoid of controversy or obvious missteps, the not answering any questions, Uh,
Speaker 1: what would be different about you from Biden? I can't
Speaker 1: think of anything. Are you kidding me? Really? I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, even the people on your side, the David
Speaker 1: Axelrods of the world, were like, oh my god, this
Speaker 1: is a disaster. I mean, come on, New York Times
Speaker 1: not even trying. This has got to be a manifestation
Speaker 1: of the fact that politics is now identity. Your politics
Speaker 1: are your identity, and so much democratic politics is identity politics,
Speaker 1: and the whole critical theory Neo Marx's postmodern thing that
Speaker 1: is who I am. And if you tell me Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris lost because of this stuff, which is who I am,
Speaker 1: that's very difficult to get people to swallow and confess to,
Speaker 1: really difficult. It's very different. I'm sorry, go ahead. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the point of having having a conversation
Speaker 1: with somebody would be. If somebody is going to say, well,
Speaker 1: her campaign, she made no mistakes. There was no controversy
Speaker 1: throughout the entire thing, so it has to be racism,
Speaker 1: and say, well, why are we even talking?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 1: To me, it's like, you know, studying the behavior of
Speaker 1: Will Debece or something like that. It's a fascinating creature
Speaker 1: with odd mating rituals because you know, over here on
Speaker 1: this side of the aisle, at least, you know, speaking
Speaker 1: for myself, if my ideas, the ideas I like the best,
Speaker 1: don't win, my reaction to that is dang it, we
Speaker 1: didn't explain him right, or or people didn't get it,
Speaker 1: or how can we do it better next time. It's
Speaker 1: not you rijected me. I hate you. You should jump
Speaker 1: off a bridge like that pathetic blanking professor. My god,
Speaker 1: he did. There isn't mental health care good enough for
Speaker 1: him to start him out for the rest of his life.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you took the rest of his life,
Speaker 1: that's just looney tunes. Kamala didn't go to the Al
Speaker 1: Smith dinner and then lost some Catholic areas that a
Speaker 1: Democrat hadn't lost in decades and decades and decades, that
Speaker 1: there'd be a possible misstep. I can think of many more. No, No,
Speaker 1: there weren't any there. It was a perfect campaign. There
Speaker 1: were no missteps nor controversies.
Speaker 5: Uh uh.
Speaker 1: Focus group after focus group said they have no idea
Speaker 1: what she's in favor of. There were no controversies there.
Speaker 1: You gotta do the logic gear. Since there were no
Speaker 1: controversy or missteps, logically, then it had to be her
Speaker 1: gender and race that caused people to vote for Trump.
Speaker 1: All right, alliteration, that's very sarelock holmesy and investments Again,
Speaker 1: that's your New York Times news analysis of the results
Speaker 1: of the election. You know, I'm gonna apologize to my
Speaker 1: Parrot for making him crap on the New York Times. Wow.

Speaker 1: my almost thirteen year old only wants one thing for
Speaker 1: Christmas and his birthday. His birthday is two days before Christmas,
Speaker 1: so he wants a big, bigger combo thing. All he
Speaker 1: wants is to see the Eagles. The music the Eagles
Speaker 1: at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Oh wow. I've been
Speaker 1: claiming that there's no way we can do that, while
Speaker 1: planning to do it very clever. We're leaving today, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't listen to talk radio, so I'm really not
Speaker 1: worried about this getting back to him. But we're leaving today,
Speaker 1: going to Vegas and and go to the Sphere to
Speaker 1: see the Eagles, and I'm looking forward to seeing them
Speaker 1: to be like, we saw a show at the Sphere
Speaker 1: like a movie and it was fantastic. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's going to be like to see a concert there.
Speaker 1: I don't quite get it why you want to basically
Speaker 1: watch a music video with a soundtrack of the music
Speaker 1: you like, but it's live, but you're not watching them,
Speaker 1: you're watching the music video. I just I don't quite
Speaker 1: get the idea behind it because it's like an old
Speaker 1: timey movie theater where the guy's in the organ with
Speaker 1: the silent movie. Because it's set up and way that
Speaker 1: it's not for you know, the best seats are up
Speaker 1: close where you can see the band. The best seats
Speaker 1: are far away so you can watch the movie spectacle
Speaker 1: and listen to them play live to it, which I
Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of feels like to me, like,
Speaker 1: how about you don't have the band and you just
Speaker 1: play a recording of their songs and I'll watch this movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like, I said, I don't quite
Speaker 1: get it. I saw Vince gilb the country star who's
Speaker 1: in the Eagles now, and I'm a big Vince Gill fan,
Speaker 1: so that'll be cool. But him say, it's the most
Speaker 1: ignored I've ever been in any performance in my life.
Speaker 1: He said, nobody's looking at us. Everybody's watching the screen.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of weird from that standpoint. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be old guy who yells at clouds,
Speaker 1: but there's absolutely been a shift. I was watching a
Speaker 1: police show, the band The Police from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1: I think it was like the show was within a
Speaker 1: week of when I met my wife, which was kind
Speaker 1: of fun in nostalgia e ah, since their album was
Speaker 1: number one when we met. But it was the biggest
Speaker 1: band in the world. Three guys and their backup singers
Speaker 1: on a stage with the spareest of lighting playing their songs,
Speaker 1: and the very large auditorium was wrapped with attention. Right,
Speaker 1: that's funny. That's now, it's gotta be a zillion things
Speaker 1: going on. It one spectacle. Well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it has to be or not. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm going to think this is a
Speaker 1: good Vince Gill in his interview, and I doubt the
Speaker 1: people at the sphere like this. He said, I don't
Speaker 1: get it. He said, I'm a guy about music. I've
Speaker 1: never liked pyrotetrics or shows or anything like that. I'm
Speaker 1: there for the music when I go to see a show.
Speaker 1: I want everybody else to be there for music. But
Speaker 1: this is what people want. It's what they want. It's
Speaker 1: basically what he said I'm getting seats on the floor
Speaker 1: closer to the band. I want to watch the band.
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not too distracted by the music video
Speaker 1: that I don't care that much about. But i'll see what.
Speaker 1: I'll report back on Monday of what I think of
Speaker 1: the whole thing. The sound will be amazing. They have
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six thousand speakers in that place.
Speaker 1: I have never heard sound like I heard when we
Speaker 1: went to movie there. I mean, it's like anything my
Speaker 1: ears have ever experienced in my life, the way it
Speaker 1: comes from everywhere and inside you and Base like you
Speaker 1: didn't even know Base could be this way. So from
Speaker 1: that standpoint, it'll be cool. We wear the brown note. Yeah,
Speaker 1: more on that to come, a lot more on the
Speaker 1: way stay here. Yeah. The main thing I'm looking for
Speaker 1: is Joe Walsh playing this song. I looked at the setlist.
Speaker 1: They closed with it. Oh really? Now coming up the
Speaker 1: media lost in a landslide, no doubt, and the battle
Speaker 1: for the soul of the Democratic Party. More on the
Speaker 1: coming civil war and it'll be bloody between the Satokratz
Speaker 1: and the woke lunatics. Stay with us so I like
Speaker 1: the autopsies over all, this stuff both campaigns, media coverage,
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. But I'm definitely ready to turn
Speaker 1: toward policy and how we're going to handle a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of things going on in the world, what Trump's
Speaker 1: view of it. Like I said, through the whole campaign,
Speaker 1: I don't actually know what Trump's feelings are about China, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas.
Speaker 1: I don't actually know. Here's a woman from the Economist
Speaker 1: on Morning Joe Today talking about what she thinks Trump's
Speaker 1: going to be like for Ukraine Russia, And actually, I think, and.
Speaker 5: This may surprise you, he may not be as bad,
Speaker 5: for example, for Ukraine as many people think. And I
Speaker 5: was very struck in our reporting this week my colleague
Speaker 5: based in Kiev were it an excellent piece that suggests
Speaker 5: senior people in Kiev were rather hoping for a Trump
Speaker 5: victory because they were so fed up of the sort
Speaker 5: of self denial and timidity of the Biden administration that
Speaker 5: they felt, you know, they weren't getting the weaponry that
Speaker 5: they needed. There was a sense that there was so
Speaker 5: much worry in Washington right now about escalation by Trump
Speaker 5: by Blutin. So I think we're just it's like the
Speaker 5: whole post w order has been thrown out own, it's
Speaker 5: shaken up.
Speaker 1: That's really interesting. So I didn't see that part of Morning.
Speaker 1: Gilbert Hanson portrayed it as usually you'd expect on the channel.
Speaker 1: Were looking for this woman for the economists to talk about, well,
Speaker 1: how the world is going to be thrown into chaos
Speaker 1: by the crazy, evil Trump, and she went with, oh,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be good for Ukraine Trump and
Speaker 1: they were really frustrated by the timidity of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: I'm still making my way through Bob Woodward's War book.
Speaker 1: If you're going to take anything away from that book,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the couple little anecdotes about Trump that
Speaker 1: everybody talked about a couple of weeks ago. It would
Speaker 1: be about the frustration around Biden's handling of Ukraine. From
Speaker 1: the beginning. Wow, that's really interesting incrementalism. You could hear
Speaker 1: little Mika not exactly digging right, her guests Eric right,
Speaker 1: and her inescapable logic. Yeah, which is interesting because her dad,
Speaker 1: I believe, who was the National security advisor for Carter,
Speaker 1: would have been really upset about Biden's timidity, understanding how
Speaker 1: the only way you can deal with these people is
Speaker 1: to show you're willing to stand up to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what an enormous blind spot thinking, well, the
Speaker 1: one thing to avoid is them thinking I might hurt
Speaker 1: them for doing the wrong thing. We can't have that.
Speaker 1: What Seriously, it's like it's like trying to read a
Speaker 1: T shirt in a mirror. I mean, it's backward. Woodward's
Speaker 1: book makes it pretty clear that Putin would have not
Speaker 1: gone into Ukraine until other than he saw the way
Speaker 1: Biden handled Afghanistan and decided, oh, he's weak, he'll never
Speaker 1: do anything. And also that the Obama administration reacting the
Speaker 1: way they did in twenty fourteen when he went in
Speaker 1: also led him to believe that the Biden Obama crowd
Speaker 1: was weak and would never push back. That's pretty harsh
Speaker 1: judgment from Bob Woodward book, But that got no attention. No.
Speaker 1: All the coverage of the book was about and somebody
Speaker 1: called trumpet jerk. Yeah great, the war for the soul
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. Who will win?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 1: Got some really interesting audio from some sane folks who
Speaker 1: are trying to save the party but losing Stay with us,
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
