Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy arms
Speaker 1: Strong and Jackie can he arms you get.
Speaker 2: Any sign on the White Flash live.
Speaker 1: From Studio C Sigor. Oh, there is never mine. I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about any of that stuff today.
Speaker 2: What stuff, anything that was on anybody's mind. No stuff
Speaker 2: has been none of it, None of it.
Speaker 1: I won't talk about any of it. Oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I am swimming with ideas.
Speaker 2: We're under the tutelage today of our general manager. Who's
Speaker 2: it gonna be? Stupid people? Okay, I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: I'm excited about. I was watching the video this morning.
Speaker 2: This I'm actually excited about. Did you see any of
Speaker 2: Elon's big rollout yesterday last night? No, I just read
Speaker 2: about the new te Tesla products and he says the
Speaker 2: new robot I robot is going to be the biggest
Speaker 2: product in the history of the world. Oh and he
Speaker 2: had a whole bunch of them at his at his
Speaker 2: demonstration last night. But anyway, so, uh, in the not
Speaker 2: too distant future, and I mean these robots were pretty impressive.
Speaker 2: They came walking out and high five and people and
Speaker 2: hanging out with people and doing things and making drinks
Speaker 2: and whatnot.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a robot folding.
Speaker 2: Your laundry and uh, serving dinner and doing all kinds
Speaker 2: of stuff in your house and beating you to death
Speaker 2: with the bidding of its computer overlords.
Speaker 1: Yes, why why do some people always go? There?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: My son?
Speaker 2: And Jeffrey Hinton is that his name, one of the
Speaker 2: other's of AI who's so big on warning humanity about
Speaker 2: killer robots and the rest of it.
Speaker 1: He won the Nobel Price Who won the Nobel Prize Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Right this week?
Speaker 2: H Well, and that the first thing he said is
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, look out, why.
Speaker 1: Would my robots start beating me all of a sudden though?
Speaker 2: Because of its computer over lord's hatred of humanity obviously anyway, Uh,
Speaker 2: we'll play some clips from that later. But biggest product
Speaker 2: in the history of mankind. You know, Elon's a salesperson
Speaker 2: and he's always trying to drive stock prices up. But
Speaker 2: it would be a pretty big deal if it becomes commonplace,
Speaker 2: like you know, as it swept across the country in
Speaker 2: the I don't know, forties and fifties I'm guessing washing
Speaker 2: machines as opposed to hand washing clothes, or just a
Speaker 2: variety of things. Like just really changed something that had
Speaker 2: been one way forever.
Speaker 1: To all of a sudden. If every middle class family
Speaker 1: has a robot that does lots of a task, so
Speaker 1: you know, bringing in the groceries from the car, mowen
Speaker 1: a lawn, et cetera, et cetera. Tell you what I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about.
Speaker 2: You know what practical applications I would like to have
Speaker 2: a robot to execute A lawn bot, no doubt. I
Speaker 2: mean not only mowing the lawn, but trimming you know, bushes.
Speaker 1: And spraying for weeds, fertilizing whatever.
Speaker 2: And also a bot that is completely, somehow scientifically able
Speaker 2: to detect the smallest amount of dog hair, speaking as
Speaker 2: a guy with a seventy five pound dog, sheds like
Speaker 2: it's his job. And you know, I remember when old
Speaker 2: Onyx passed on years later, we would find dog hair.
Speaker 1: Are you just you can't get rid of it? So
Speaker 1: that's what you want a robot for? To get rid
Speaker 1: of dog hair?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he would seek it out like it was
Speaker 2: his sacred mission.
Speaker 1: Not sure you're thinking big enough, Yes, Katie, I mean
Speaker 1: Katie is not available. Oh so there you go. We're
Speaker 1: down a man. We're down a man. Michelangelo is off today.
Speaker 1: Next man up.
Speaker 2: That's the way it works, all right, Michael's down, Can
Speaker 2: you step up?
Speaker 1: Anson? Is Katie live? Yeah, we're here.
Speaker 3: I took a walk the other morning and I saw
Speaker 3: a lawn room BA and it was this thing. There
Speaker 3: was nobody around, and this thing was just edging the
Speaker 3: lawn and taking.
Speaker 2: Complete care of the lawn. And my mind was blown.
Speaker 2: And how many bloody hands and feet were laying in
Speaker 2: the yard. Oh it is Halloween. There could have been decorations.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Wow, the lawn room BA. But yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 2: It's it's a big thing in golf course management. Now
Speaker 2: you've seen them in action, Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Have you not mentioned this?
Speaker 1: This is huge. It's funny.
Speaker 2: It hadn't occurred to me that it's that interesting. But
Speaker 2: I've never seen it life. I didn't even know they existed.
Speaker 2: I had never seen it.
Speaker 1: And I took a video. I was like, look at
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 2: You No, I'm sorry, it's it's not that it's not
Speaker 2: cool and surprising. I've just I have a friend of
Speaker 2: mine who works in that field, so I've been talking
Speaker 2: to him about it for a long time. But yeah,
Speaker 2: with geomapping as good as it is now, you can
Speaker 2: precisely tell the robot all right, that's the fair way,
Speaker 2: that's they're off.
Speaker 1: Now get to work, and off it goes. Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 3: And actually I stood there and I watched it for
Speaker 3: a minute. I went around the tree in the middle
Speaker 3: of the of the yard and yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's that's a very low tech example of
Speaker 2: Elon's talking about with the I robot. But we'll have
Speaker 2: to post the video because it's pretty impressive. And then
Speaker 2: at the end of the event, after he's up there
Speaker 2: on stage and the robots are mingling in the crowd
Speaker 2: and walking around stuff like that, they go up on
Speaker 2: stage and getting a cage and dance for a long
Speaker 2: time to various music while everybody's partying more and more
Speaker 2: disturbing folks. Well, I told you when I was at
Speaker 2: the Sphere in Vegas, and they actually mentioned that in
Speaker 2: the news package that I saw about Elon's robot. They
Speaker 2: had the AI super high tech robot at the Sphere
Speaker 2: in the waiting room before you go into I remember
Speaker 2: him to see the show and it's it's it's practically creepy.
Speaker 2: It's way too human like. And the fact that it
Speaker 2: can interact with you. So well, where are you from?
Speaker 2: I'm from? Uh, well, I'm in California, originally from Kansas. Oh, Kansas.
Speaker 2: How did you like Kansas? And they get into a
Speaker 2: conversation and they start it's just weird, a trait conversation,
Speaker 2: a conversation exactly that it hits you with all kinds
Speaker 2: of details of the capital of Kansas is Topeka.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm aware of that. Congratulations, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: Sex bots, death bots, death sex bots. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 2: that's the trouble with all this stuff, is that uh
Speaker 2: that Google guy I heard on a podcast a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. I keep talking about you know, they're
Speaker 2: talking about folding laundry, teaching your kids, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: curing cancer, all these different things. That is great, but
Speaker 2: they're going to be used for military purposes first. That's
Speaker 2: like the first large scale because they got so much
Speaker 2: money to throw at it, China, in the United States
Speaker 2: and Russia.
Speaker 1: Use that will come out of it, and then.
Speaker 2: You know the whole weird well, that's one thing, Elon
Speaker 2: said last I was about to say porn. Elon said,
Speaker 2: and a companion, and I thought, oh, okay, okay, that's
Speaker 2: one thing. Something that lawn and folds the laundry. Okay, uh,
Speaker 2: it's a companion.
Speaker 1: Hmm. Now we're getting into some weird territory. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: one more reason.
Speaker 2: Excuse is increasing the skids of human beings dying out
Speaker 2: as a species.
Speaker 1: Then, you know, which is fine. We've had our run.
Speaker 2: Now a Planet of the Apes or the Time of
Speaker 2: the Beavers or whatever is going to be. I don't
Speaker 2: know the Time of the Beavers. Yes, wow, you should
Speaker 2: start writing that short story today. Let the Beavers range
Speaker 2: short story. Nothing, It's gonna be like a seven volume
Speaker 2: sci fi series. Okay, cool, But anyway, we'll play a
Speaker 2: little of that later. I just I find a whole
Speaker 2: thing fascinating my kids. My kids, when they're my age,
Speaker 2: their lives are gonna be so much different from mine.
Speaker 2: I think that you just will be like the difference
Speaker 2: between my life and my dad's life. I guess my
Speaker 2: dad grew up without electricity and then running water, so
Speaker 2: certainly didn't have the internet. Boran hesitated for a moment
Speaker 2: sensing danger but unable to identify from where the feeling came.
Speaker 2: But then, almost outside of his control, almost unconsciously, his
Speaker 2: flat tail began slapping the fout.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right. The beavers are running things now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's from following one of the Time of the Beavers.
Speaker 1: Damn it. That's the title of the first one, damn
Speaker 1: it hilarious. Okay, so let's start the show officially. I'm
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty. Is the title of every episode?
Speaker 1: Got damn in it somehow and some pozzy, some idiotic
Speaker 1: upondies probably is.
Speaker 2: This is Friday, October eleventh of the year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting and we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: Let's begin the show officially. Then, according to FCC rules
Speaker 2: the riggs, here we go at Mark. You see, that's
Speaker 2: the real threat to democracy, stupid people.
Speaker 1: That's the threat, our biggest threat to democracy, stirc of paper.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I engaged in a very very interesting conversation with a
Speaker 2: very smart friend of mine last night, and we were
Speaker 2: talking about the concept of being undecided at this point.
Speaker 2: And while I will grant a certain amount of dispensation leeway, whatever,
Speaker 2: because both candidates are so flawed in one way or another,
Speaker 2: and people are trying to figure out, all right, which
Speaker 2: is a better bet in terms of policy. Though, to
Speaker 2: not know which party you support at this point since
Speaker 2: they're the cleavage is so big between the two parties,
Speaker 2: that's so astounding to me. You're either completely checked out
Speaker 2: or you're an idiot. I suppose it's conceivable. You're just
Speaker 2: so disgusted by both of them you can't even take it.
Speaker 2: But I mean, seriously, you don't. Okay, how about the
Speaker 2: Trump saying the biggest threat to democracy of stupid people. Well,
Speaker 2: that's the thing, and that's also the biggest target of
Speaker 2: political campaigns. People who have no idea what they're talking about. Well,
Speaker 2: how is he going to sway them if he's calling
Speaker 2: them stupid? Of course, the stupid people don't think they're stupid.
Speaker 1: What is that called. There's a name for the Dunning
Speaker 1: Kruger effect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if if you wonder if you're competent or stupid,
Speaker 2: that's the definition that you're probably not because apparently incompetent
Speaker 2: stupid people never think about it. That's when I assume
Speaker 2: that they're just a golden Yeah, I'm in good shape here.
Speaker 2: How does mailbag look? That's pretty good. Plus we have
Speaker 2: a sprawling epic clips of the week in moments cool.
Speaker 2: We got lots of stuff to get to today on
Speaker 2: a Friday, Stay with us. Our text line is four
Speaker 2: one five two nine KFTC. They're setting up the tables
Speaker 2: and barricades as we speak at Aurora, Colorado, because Trump's
Speaker 2: going to roll in home of that infamous video of
Speaker 2: Venezuelan illegal immigrants taking over an apartment complex that Trump's
Speaker 2: made a big deal out of. And uh, He's going
Speaker 2: to be there in Aurora. I'm trying to make hay
Speaker 2: with that, and uh Trump, I think the last couple
Speaker 2: of days has sound more like twenty sixteen Trump like
Speaker 2: in terms of energy and being with it than he
Speaker 2: has in a while.
Speaker 1: I don't know if like the closing weeks energize him
Speaker 1: or what. Yeah, that's possible. He might just be bored
Speaker 1: with the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I hadn't really thought about it like that, but it's
Speaker 2: I suppose it's possible given his mercurial nature and Obama
Speaker 2: was on the campaign trailias in Pennsylvania's Day. Man is
Speaker 2: he good at that? He is really good at that. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 2: So we've got all sorts of good stuff to come.
Speaker 2: But let's take a fond look back at the week
Speaker 2: that was. First, it's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's list, but we're dealing with the real world
Speaker 1: whips of the week. So who would you like to
Speaker 1: have a beer with me? So I can tell people
Speaker 1: what that's like.
Speaker 4: I'm feeling great and I'm feeling nervous.
Speaker 1: What would the major changes be and what would say
Speaker 1: the same?
Speaker 4: There is done a thing that comes to mind.
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyah, who is not listening.
Speaker 4: The work that we have done has resulted in a
Speaker 4: number of movements. We're not going to stop pursuing what
Speaker 4: is necessary for the United States to be clear about
Speaker 4: where we stand on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 1: I will own up to being a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 2: We can line all those guys up and shoot them,
Speaker 2: and they clearly don't understand the way the world works.
Speaker 1: Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid. She's got a
Speaker 1: lot of trouble, she's being outworked. She can't talk to
Speaker 1: the press.
Speaker 4: You know, we have aspirations, we have dreams.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're filed again. It is good versus evil.
Speaker 1: Thanks most important election of our lifetime.
Speaker 5: As I was saying, content of that section would not
Speaker 5: be out of place in the backpack of an extremist,
Speaker 5: It's clear.
Speaker 2: There are times we have not met our editory in student.
Speaker 3: It's my understanding that as a journalists we are obligated
Speaker 3: to challenge them.
Speaker 1: Desperate communities still without power or water in the Black
Speaker 1: Mountain area. We're very happy.
Speaker 2: There's not enough money right now for Carolina.
Speaker 4: Your whole, your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir.
Speaker 5: Mandatory evacuations on both coasts of Florida.
Speaker 1: We're a law and order state. We will hold looters accountable.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Former President Trump, get a life, man,
Speaker 1: help these people. We got to go.
Speaker 2: No, We're not going to go through this again, Michael, Michael,
Speaker 2: you blow out, you go, and then you go.
Speaker 1: Israel says Iran will pay a price, deadly, precise, and
Speaker 1: above all surprising.
Speaker 2: It would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, everywhere?
Speaker 2: Oh man, if you didn't hear that whole thing that
Speaker 2: was from our podcast to Wednesday, I think the one
Speaker 2: more thing podcast that was.
Speaker 1: Great, it was awful, depends how you look at it.
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. I love this.
Speaker 1: It's brief. Brevity is the soul of wit.
Speaker 2: You know that, right, Robert Frost If you need them,
Speaker 2: and I quote, freedom lies in being bold.
Speaker 1: M love it. I love it. A lot of people
Speaker 1: don't want that, though. That's why people are okay with
Speaker 1: not that much freedom.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be that bold. I don't want
Speaker 2: to have to worry about things, right. Yeah, I'd rather
Speaker 2: be swept along by the current. That's fine, that's you
Speaker 2: know you do. You just get the hell out of
Speaker 2: the way. Mailbag Drump's note mail bag at Armstrong in
Speaker 2: getty dot com. When you get a chance. All sorts
Speaker 2: of topics touched upon today. Ted says, Uh, there'll never
Speaker 2: be peace in the Middle East because Islam requires ghab
Speaker 2: that's simple against the unbelievers. Yeah, you know, there are
Speaker 2: a number of scholars and theologians who think Islam seriously
Speaker 2: needs a global reform movement, but we.
Speaker 1: Won't get into that now. Let's see.
Speaker 2: Marty says, I was listening to the podcast in the
Speaker 2: future and think listeners could compile a list of all
Speaker 2: the things that lefty state will happen once Trump is
Speaker 2: back in the White House. Maybe people could text or
Speaker 2: mail them in, like the end of all abortions, the
Speaker 2: deportation of every migrant, the end of elections because of
Speaker 2: his dictatorship, and so on, the end of gay marriage,
Speaker 2: interracial marriage. It's just all sorts of fever, dreams of paranoia.
Speaker 2: As these are read in the New York Times and
Speaker 2: Atlanta heard on CNN. The alphabet networks. New ones could
Speaker 2: be added to the list after Trump has inaugurated. Put
Speaker 2: them in a time capsule and read the list in
Speaker 2: four years to see how many have come true.
Speaker 1: I think that is a fun idea. Do we have
Speaker 1: time for this?
Speaker 2: Regarding Douglas Murray's comment about proportional response in conflict, I
Speaker 2: had the same thought as you, guys. Responding proportionally is
Speaker 2: precisely what you do if your goal is to an
Speaker 2: extended activity or conflict for as long as you want.
Speaker 2: That's how you have a long, friendly pickleball game, not
Speaker 2: how you end a war. The actual definition, Jack, we
Speaker 2: ought to get into this because I think you've done
Speaker 2: some reading on this. The definition of proportional response has
Speaker 2: to do with the civilians at risk versus military objectives.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with like an equal hit.
Speaker 2: For no, no, they should call it something other but
Speaker 2: than proportional response. But you have a legal definition of
Speaker 2: it in international law is completely different than most people think.
Speaker 1: We could talk about that later.
Speaker 2: We could talk about Trump's latest tax proposal that he
Speaker 2: threw out, another thing that you're not going to have
Speaker 2: to pay taxes on.
Speaker 1: As both sides continue.
Speaker 2: This is the Santa Claus season of any presidential election,
Speaker 2: where both sides try to give you stuff, right, pony,
Speaker 2: you want a pony, I'll give you an elephant, Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty in.
Speaker 1: The next two weeks. I'm going to Springfield and I'm
Speaker 1: going to Aurora. You may never see me again, but
Speaker 1: that's okay. Gotta do what I gotta do. Whatever happened
Speaker 1: to Trump, well he never got out of Springfield.
Speaker 2: So Trump is going to Aurora, Colorado today. In Springfield,
Speaker 2: I guess this weekend to try to draw attention to
Speaker 2: the whole immigration pet eating Oh, I'm sorry, immigration right,
Speaker 2: which is a good closing argument with three and a
Speaker 2: half weeks to go. Anything that's economy and in immigration
Speaker 2: is awesome. But I wanted to throw a little national
Speaker 2: security in there is scratch me where I at ship
Speaker 2: new national poll out just hit one of your big poles.
Speaker 2: Kamala is up by one nationally. In case you're not
Speaker 2: hipped to this whole thing, if a Democrat is up
Speaker 2: by one nationally, they're behind by two because you got
Speaker 2: to win by a full three or four to have
Speaker 2: a shot. It went in the electoral college.
Speaker 1: So anyway, the growing rumors that the private polling has
Speaker 1: Trump winning this dang thing unless something changes, which is
Speaker 1: really interesting. I'm trying to prepare myself for what it's
Speaker 1: going to look like when that hits.
Speaker 2: The tiers of the left half of America will swell
Speaker 2: its rivers. How do I how do I tame down
Speaker 2: my schoden Freud because it just it doesn't seem like
Speaker 2: a good impulse. Shoden Freud does not seem like a
Speaker 2: good impulse for a happy life. That John Boyd is
Speaker 2: taking joy in other people's misfortunes. How do I tone
Speaker 2: down my tremendous joy at MSNBC, in the Washington Post
Speaker 2: and Bruce Springsteen and all these people just wetting their
Speaker 2: pants over the fact that Trump won again.
Speaker 1: I should tone it down because it's not good. It's
Speaker 1: like being a sore winner.
Speaker 2: I had a nice, wise, even answer for your question
Speaker 2: until you ran through that checklist, and now I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I care, I love it, but I'll tell you my
Speaker 2: actual answer and it will bother some. You can tone
Speaker 2: that down by starting to worry. All right, now, what
Speaker 2: the hell's Trump gonna do?
Speaker 1: Right? What madness will be visited upon us?
Speaker 2: Bigger picture politics. I came across this yesterday. It's from
Speaker 2: Pew Research. It's one of your own respected polling up organizations,
Speaker 2: and I think we all felt this, but seeing it
Speaker 2: in gra form was more stark. How the country one
Speaker 2: has moved left word over the last couple of decades.
Speaker 2: And if you're old enough, you notice that in a
Speaker 2: couple of different ways. I mean, gay marriage, is smoking marijuana,
Speaker 2: and just you know, lots of different things.
Speaker 1: Well and the other.
Speaker 2: The classic definition of the left is the redistribution of
Speaker 2: income and bigger way in that direct government's way bigger
Speaker 2: than it was. This chart starts in ninety four. The
Speaker 2: bigger is the government is so much bigger than it
Speaker 2: was in ninety four, and there's so much more.
Speaker 1: Well, transfer payments going on in government.
Speaker 2: I think it's worth pausing just for a second and
Speaker 2: noting you mean nineteen ninety four, not eighteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I mean nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2: This is like just a couple of days ago, span
Speaker 2: of a lifetime, right, So looking at the chart in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four, you got a big blue mound that
Speaker 2: represents all Democrats, you know. On for Democrats or Republicans,
Speaker 2: you got for a Republican you can vary between pretty
Speaker 2: conservative two very very conservative. It's a it's a bell curve.
Speaker 2: And same with Democrats, you know, very very liberal to
Speaker 2: regular liberal. In my mind, and at that time, the
Speaker 2: median Democrat on a chart of zero to ten, zero
Speaker 2: being the most consistently liberal you could be and ten
Speaker 2: being the most consistently conservative you could be. On a
Speaker 2: chart of both of those mounds in which they mostly
Speaker 2: overlapped the two groups, the median Democrat was a five,
Speaker 2: right in the middle between the most liberal and the
Speaker 2: most conservative, and the median Republican was a six. They
Speaker 2: were one point a part and the country was slightly
Speaker 2: more conservative than liberal in nineteen ninety four, when Bill
Speaker 2: Clinton was president, as I've heard is it. We've all
Speaker 2: heard for years and years, this is a center right country. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was certainly was at that time. And then in
Speaker 2: two thousand and four the two bell curves split a
Speaker 2: little more, but not a lot.
Speaker 1: It just moved leftward and mostly overlap. And then the.
Speaker 2: Liberal was a four, had moved a little more toward
Speaker 2: the left, and the median conservative was a five.
Speaker 1: Right, damn in the.
Speaker 2: Middle of you know, all our politics. But there's still
Speaker 2: one point apart. Yeah, the most recent one that they've
Speaker 2: got from a couple of years ago, and it's probably
Speaker 2: it's probably moved even further now. The median liberal was
Speaker 2: a two and the median conservative was a seven, five points.
Speaker 1: Apart, with not a lot of overlap between the two groups. Wow, now,
Speaker 1: we it's obvious, right, we all feel that we can
Speaker 1: tell that that's what's happened. But it wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 2: And this is why you didn't even know what your
Speaker 2: friend's politics were, or the first thing you asked on
Speaker 2: a date wasn't are you a Democratic or Republican? And
Speaker 2: that was a deal breaker because we were so close together.
Speaker 2: We overlapped on most.
Speaker 1: Stuff, right, Sure, what was the point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually somewhat surprised. I'd love to see some
Speaker 2: of the data on how the average repub can move
Speaker 2: to a seven. Could just be the concentration of more
Speaker 2: arch conservatives in the Republican Party. I suppose that's interesting
Speaker 2: to me since it feels like everything has moved left. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's actually about a six and a half close to
Speaker 2: a seven, where the average of the median liberal is
Speaker 2: a two way down toward the as far as you
Speaker 2: can get and five points apart. So that is you know,
Speaker 2: like I said, you can tell that's why it feels
Speaker 2: the way it feels. Yeah, yeah, wow, that is well,
Speaker 2: it's troubling, but it's absolutely what we've been saying. I mean,
Speaker 2: it bears out like perfectly what we've been trying to
Speaker 2: communicate to folks and what you see around you. There
Speaker 2: were no teachers in my kids' schools in the nineties
Speaker 2: trying to teach them radical gender theory, much less it's
Speaker 2: required curriculum now in California that the little children learn
Speaker 2: the radical gingerbread person or whatever that's called, and various
Speaker 2: other incarnations of this madness. The very wife of the
Speaker 2: governor makes a radical critical theory neo Marxist videos that
Speaker 2: are not required in schools, but it'd be a good
Speaker 2: thing if you went ahead and bought them. It's absurd,
Speaker 2: it's disgusting. Everybody would be guessing, I suppose, as to
Speaker 2: why this has happened.
Speaker 1: I know what my guess would be.
Speaker 2: I would love to see this chart because it goes
Speaker 2: from ninety four to two thousand and four to recently.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see at what point it started to
Speaker 2: really diverge, And my guess would be when we all
Speaker 2: started getting our news from handheld devices. And it also
Speaker 2: might fit in somewhat with the Citizens United ruling and
Speaker 2: small donors becoming the big thing, and you make the
Speaker 2: most money by convincing people on Twitter or Facebook or
Speaker 2: whatever that the world's coming to an end, whether too
Speaker 2: far left or twopar far right, I think that plays
Speaker 2: into it mostly.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I agree completely.
Speaker 2: I think the Internet small donations thing has I mean,
Speaker 2: because clickbait is clickbait, whether you're looking for viewership or
Speaker 2: page turns or money, and fear and anger are incredibly
Speaker 2: appealing as clickbait.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and.
Speaker 2: I'm also so looking at these these big, big breasts,
Speaker 2: especially big breasts one way, looking at these older charts,
Speaker 2: if I'm running to be president of the United States,
Speaker 2: especially once you get past the primary in the general election,
Speaker 2: I would look at this and it's mostly overlap. So
Speaker 2: I need to appeal to both if I want to
Speaker 2: become president of the United States. Since you know, Democrats
Speaker 2: were a five and Republicans were a six, or then
Speaker 2: in two thousand and four it was a four.
Speaker 1: And a five.
Speaker 2: If I want to be president of the United States,
Speaker 2: I got to appeal to both groups. Now you would
Speaker 2: look at that chart and think I need to pick
Speaker 2: a side and get them on and convince them because
Speaker 2: there's a very little overlap. Yeah, yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: just got done reading some just fabulous takedowns of Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris and Joe Biden from some of my favorite thinkers,
Speaker 2: and we'll share some of the juiciest phrases with you
Speaker 2: later on the show. But one of the uh, one
Speaker 2: of the comments on Biden was that, you know, he
Speaker 2: always seemed like a moderate, kind of do nothing, just
Speaker 2: gray politician type backslapper, but then when he governed, it
Speaker 2: was it was way to the left, and and that
Speaker 2: he was just he has no principles, nor does Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: but he has no principles that would make him stand
Speaker 2: up against the left of the party. I think, you know,
Speaker 2: old Joe Biden, were he able to construct a coherent
Speaker 2: sentence or two, would point to that chart and say,
Speaker 2: I've had I had a half care, say, there isn't
Speaker 2: anybody in that. You want me to shoot for fours
Speaker 2: and fives? Right, there's nobody there. You can't get elected
Speaker 2: and shooting for a five. Wow, that's troubling. It is,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, and it might as more people
Speaker 2: wake up to the prescriptions of the far left. And
Speaker 2: I believe this to my bones because I run into
Speaker 2: people all the time who are like, I had no
Speaker 2: idea that they were teaching this stuff to kids in schools,
Speaker 2: and I've been railing against it like a lunatic now
Speaker 2: for several years. But as more and more people wake
Speaker 2: up to how nuts it is, I think the Democratic
Speaker 2: Party will just collapse. I certainly hope so, and then
Speaker 2: be reborn as some moderate lefty organization, which should be fine.
Speaker 2: So there is a follow up today we'll probably get
Speaker 2: to later on the whole sixty minutes CBS Behind the
Speaker 2: scenes story, both stories, the whole thing with Tanahisi Coats
Speaker 2: and that interview, and then the editing of the Kamala
Speaker 2: Harrison interview.
Speaker 1: For sixty Minutes or.
Speaker 2: Number of behind the scenes former and current CBS employees
Speaker 2: who are very unhappy with what sixty minutes or what
Speaker 2: CBS has been doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they should be. I thought we.
Speaker 2: I think I let them off too easy for the
Speaker 2: sixty Minutes at it job that was, that was egregious,
Speaker 2: that was being an active member of the Harris campaign.
Speaker 1: That's wild. I'd like to know if what's the name
Speaker 1: of the low voiced guy, the mustachio guy who was
Speaker 1: interviewing her on sixty Minutes. Bill, I'm Bill Whittaker. Whittaker,
Speaker 1: I'm Bill Whittaker, and they teach us at sixty minute
Speaker 1: School to speak very slowly. For some reason, we decided
Speaker 1: that people can only take in information at this pace.
Speaker 1: I don't know who just I mean.
Speaker 2: I listen to books on tape and they go so
Speaker 2: fast sometimes I have to go in and slow them
Speaker 2: down to like really appreciate sixty minutes. Decided that everybody
Speaker 2: is like a tortoise in terms of their brain. Additionally,
Speaker 2: you will restate an answer as a question and have
Speaker 2: them repeat themselves. Instance, I'm going to Indianapolis. You're going
Speaker 2: to Indianapolis. I'm going to Indianapolis. So, even at that
Speaker 2: incredibly slow pace, they feel like it needs to be
Speaker 2: said twice. Right, I don't think waitress should have to
Speaker 2: pay taxes on the tips.
Speaker 1: You don't believe waitresses? I mean no, I don't believe
Speaker 1: we towel. For God's sake, could we paid this up?
Speaker 2: There's gotta be there's so many teaches them that, right, Scott,
Speaker 2: Pelly Cat's talk that slow in his real life, and
Speaker 2: it's beautiful to have you seen.
Speaker 1: Oh you're killing me. Your three up, Scott, I gotta
Speaker 1: go to work. What are you missing? I saw him
Speaker 1: in the garage. You saw them? Yeah, I'm believing. We've
Speaker 1: got Katie's headlines coming up. Armstrong, Heyetty, the question.
Speaker 2: Is why is a former defensive end for the NFL
Speaker 2: doing a better interview of Tim Walls than anybody else
Speaker 2: has done.
Speaker 1: We'll have some highlights of that coming up.
Speaker 2: HEAs on whatever the Morning Show is on ABC, where
Speaker 2: Michael Strahan, formerly of the New York Giants, interviewing Tim
Speaker 2: Walls and asking him some pretty hard questions. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to explain a number of his fablest stories that he's
Speaker 2: got out there, so we'll have highlights coming up on
Speaker 2: the show a little bit later. He wouldn't get away
Speaker 2: with that at CBS, where journalism is forbidden.
Speaker 1: It's nice job.
Speaker 2: Also next hour, looking forward to talking to a gentleman
Speaker 2: from the United Way of Buncombe County, North Carolina, which
Speaker 2: was so devastated by Hurricane Helene, talking about their efforts
Speaker 2: they're helping to raise them money this week at Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty dot Com. Right now, let's figure out who's
Speaker 2: reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 3: Katie, Well, since you guys were talking about it, let's
Speaker 3: start with Fox News. CBS News incomplete turmoil is multiple
Speaker 3: controversies erupt at the network.
Speaker 2: The exciting thing, I guess is that there are enough
Speaker 2: people at CBS News who care that there's a controversy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had kind of come to believe that
Speaker 1: there weren't very many people, let any of these news
Speaker 1: networks that cared if they got to the truth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder what.
Speaker 2: The ratios are of old schoolers versus young radicals. But
Speaker 2: you know, the young radicals are so vicious and so
Speaker 2: they so love getting a scalp. You know, are they
Speaker 2: twenty percent but they're so mean they get their way
Speaker 2: or is it fifty to fifty? I think the old
Speaker 2: guard is saying, now's the time to make a stand. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm worried the old guard is eventually gonna move on
Speaker 2: and you won't have anybody left. Cheryl Atkinson, she was
Speaker 2: a CBS person, wasn't she Remember when she finally said enough,
Speaker 2: I can't do this anymore and left like.
Speaker 1: So many Barry Weisse, same thing, New York Times, CNN.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris agrees to do a town hall on the network.
Speaker 1: Yes, when is that going to be? October twenty third? Okay?
Speaker 1: From NBC.
Speaker 3: At least sixteen deaths are confirmed after Hurricane Milton h.
Speaker 1: Well, fewer, not good obviously, but a lot fewer than
Speaker 1: they were fearing. Yeah, that's terrible.
Speaker 2: You know, back to the Kamala Harris story, she has
Speaker 2: clearly seen the end of the europodope height in the
Speaker 2: basement strategy. It's not working. The joy is worn off.
Speaker 2: They need to do something. The problem is their candidate
Speaker 2: is terrible. So I will be looking forward to that
Speaker 2: town hall with Glee USA.
Speaker 3: Today, Pro Palestinian Columbia University group calls for armed resistance.
Speaker 1: Quote violence is the only path A wow. Wow the
Speaker 1: Red Guard American style.
Speaker 3: From the New York Times. Elon Musk is all in
Speaker 3: to elect Trump. He's planning himself in pencil, has brought
Speaker 3: his brain trust to help and may even knock on
Speaker 3: some doors himself.
Speaker 1: Wow. He's something. Well, send out your bots, your robots,
Speaker 1: as he said on Tucker the other night, If Trump loses,
Speaker 1: I'm fed from ABC News.
Speaker 3: Trial date set for Sean did he Combs in sex
Speaker 3: trafficking case I expect expected to begin on May fifth.
Speaker 2: Here's my favorite nugget from How that whole Thing's going
Speaker 2: The UH store. Costco has come out and said we
Speaker 2: don't sell baby oil. They're tired of the story floating
Speaker 2: around that he bought a thousand bottles of baby oil.
Speaker 1: Because Costco sells it in bulk.
Speaker 2: And Costco said, yeah, we don't sell baby oil, so
Speaker 2: leave us out of it.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: He saved nine cents a bottle by buying it in
Speaker 2: a bottle.
Speaker 1: Get the Costco. Don't bring us into this. We got
Speaker 1: nothing to do. It Oh, whoa, whoa yeah.
Speaker 3: From the New York Post, Obama admits harris campaign doesn't
Speaker 3: have the energy of his White House run and claims
Speaker 3: black men opposed to her are quote aren't feeling the
Speaker 3: idea of having a woman as president. Okay, we got
Speaker 3: to play that clip later.
Speaker 2: It's pretty interesting him going with the whole you just
Speaker 2: can't handle a woman being president? Is that ever going
Speaker 2: to convince somebody? Oh, you're right, I guess I will
Speaker 2: vote for the woman. Or does it piss you off
Speaker 2: when somebody says that pisses me off? As somebody says
Speaker 2: that to me trying to shame working black men into
Speaker 2: supporting the woke, far left candidate who wants to undermine
Speaker 2: everything they think about life and God and man and
Speaker 2: the rest of it. Otherwise, Baraco Bubble will call me sexist.
Speaker 2: Aside from that, though his on stage stuff, he's really
Speaker 2: good at that. I mean, he's so much better than
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris or most people your meme of the day,
Speaker 2: This is just text.
Speaker 3: I still miss that part of twenty twenty when it
Speaker 3: was illegal for anyone to come near me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great, not great. And finally, the Babble
Speaker 1: be what a jerk.
Speaker 3: Kabala wants to help with hurricane relief, but DeSantis refuses
Speaker 3: to tell her where Florida is.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, we are going to talk to somebody who's
Speaker 2: on the ground in North Carolina. Coming up for hour two.
Speaker 2: If you miss that, you can grab the podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 2: Getty on demand. It's easy to find. And we need
Speaker 2: to get to the Chicago schools situation. This one is
Speaker 2: an all timer. Yeah, it's uh, it's I love to
Speaker 2: hate it, but it's also really sad for kids.
Speaker 1: Yes, I would agree.
Speaker 2: And if the egregiousness of what's happening doesn't wake up
Speaker 2: the electorate and cause big changes, we're doomed as a society.
Speaker 1: Other than that, everything's fine Armstrong and Getty
