WEBVTT - I Drink Your Milkshake! 0:00:01.910 --> 0:00:05.750 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.790 --> 0:00:07.770 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.830 --> 0:00:09.990 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.190 --> 0:00:11.549 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:11.710 --> 0:00:17.280 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.140 --> 0:00:26.990 Lindsay Clancy broke down in tears as her defense attorney 0:00:27.030 --> 0:00:32.490 began closing arguments, comparing photos before and after the killing. 0:00:32.950 --> 0:00:37.410 After six weeks of dueling medical experts, jurors will now 0:00:37.490 --> 0:00:41.670 have to decide whether Clancy was sane and acted intentionally. 0:00:41.750 --> 0:00:44.010 Man, what a tough job that would be in a jury. 0:00:44.950 --> 0:00:47.860 They're deliberating right now. This is just breaking. The jury 0:00:47.900 --> 0:00:51.600 is asked to see two bags of pills. and a knife. 0:00:51.860 --> 0:00:54.180 I don't know what role the knife plays. I've been 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.280 following that closely. What'd she do with a knife? 0:00:56.300 --> 0:00:57.040 Not familiar. 0:00:58.380 --> 0:01:01.760 Um, Oh, she cut herself, uh, before she hurled herself 0:01:01.820 --> 0:01:05.140 out of the window. The defendant is Clancy. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.280 Who, you know, this is, this is probably an argument 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.819 for her being crazy. Uh, who kills themselves by jumping 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.080 out of two story window of. 0:01:16.100 --> 0:01:16.959 A suburban house. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.990 You know what, what, I'm going to cut myself some 0:01:22.230 --> 0:01:25.170 and jump out of a window, but just the second story. 0:01:25.709 --> 0:01:27.350 Which is almost unless. 0:01:27.530 --> 0:01:30.440 I don't mean to be, you know, flip about this 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.060 or an idiot, but that's a weak attempt. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:38.000 Oh, no kidding. Who would jump out a two-story window 0:01:38.020 --> 0:01:40.660 and think, I'm going to break my legs or my 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.580 arm or whatever. I'm not going to die. I'm going 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.400 to lay there in pain until somebody comes and takes 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:45.100 me to the hospital. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.500 It's actually fairly unlikely you'd end up partially paralyzed. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:49.700 Like she did. 0:01:49.860 --> 0:01:54.020 She got a really bad result from that really weak 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.700 effort at killing herself. So I don't know. That seems 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.410 like a decent argument toward her being crazy. 0:01:58.970 --> 0:02:00.840 That seems like a decent argument to me, like she 0:02:00.860 --> 0:02:02.410 was faking a suicide attempt. 0:02:02.730 --> 0:02:03.410 Oh, really? 0:02:03.490 --> 0:02:06.750 Interesting. God dang it. 0:02:06.990 --> 0:02:10.269 You're committed to faking your suicide to jump out a 0:02:10.290 --> 0:02:12.579 second story window. Ah, that would hurt. 0:02:12.700 --> 0:02:14.579 Put a couple of light cuts on me and then 0:02:14.620 --> 0:02:17.250 jump out this window into the hedges and it'll be fine. 0:02:17.430 --> 0:02:18.950 I don't know. I wasn't there. 0:02:20.010 --> 0:02:22.470 Let's hear a little bit from yesterday before they gave 0:02:22.510 --> 0:02:25.320 it to the jury from the defense and the prosecution 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.660 in their closing arguments. Here's the defense first. 0:02:28.130 --> 0:02:28.609 Because of the. 0:02:28.630 --> 0:02:32.930 Damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got. 0:02:33.450 --> 0:02:36.250 Horrible thoughts, no motivation, deeply depressed. 0:02:36.780 --> 0:02:40.000 That this is a prosecution that has ripped. 0:02:39.820 --> 0:02:41.100 The soul out of this girl. 0:02:42.460 --> 0:02:43.520 Well, here's the prosecution. 0:02:43.940 --> 0:02:47.460 This wasn't a woman suffering from a lack of care, 0:02:47.540 --> 0:02:50.940 a lack of resources. She had an abundance of help, 0:02:51.380 --> 0:02:55.890 an abundance of care. She left them discarded on the 0:02:55.930 --> 0:03:01.180 basement floor. like broken toys, because she was done playing 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:01.560 the game. 0:03:02.220 --> 0:03:05.299 Yeah, the kids. I heard that whole clip. It is 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.500 hard to take. The prosecution argued that Clancy only had 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.730 two prescription meds in her system at the time of 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.089 the murders. Is that to argue that she wasn't all 0:03:13.150 --> 0:03:15.570 drugged up? So she's responsible. I don't know what that was. 0:03:16.530 --> 0:03:19.190 There is some argument that because she had a lot 0:03:19.230 --> 0:03:21.090 of doctors and a lot of different medicines, so you 0:03:21.110 --> 0:03:22.990 can't claim she didn't get care. I can tell you 0:03:23.030 --> 0:03:26.299 from dealing with people with mental health problems. Just because 0:03:26.340 --> 0:03:28.540 you got a doctor and got the pills don't mean 0:03:28.580 --> 0:03:31.880 you're okay because they often don't have it figured out. 0:03:33.700 --> 0:03:35.680 Yeah, and it's interesting. 0:03:36.220 --> 0:03:39.220 The prosecutor making the argument that because she had an 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:45.210 abundance of help, therefore clearly she killed them. I'm not 0:03:45.290 --> 0:03:47.850 sure I get. Of course, I didn't hear the whole argument. 0:03:48.670 --> 0:03:51.050 I'm a bad talk show host, but I hesitate to 0:03:51.110 --> 0:03:59.110 leap to conclusions based on fragmentary information, but If your 0:03:59.150 --> 0:04:02.910 argument was she wasn't really, like, overwhelmed in the conventional sense, 0:04:03.710 --> 0:04:05.990 a person could respond, well, she must have just gone 0:04:06.070 --> 0:04:06.630 nuts then. 0:04:07.340 --> 0:04:14.020 Right. First of all, the jury gets to work tomorrow. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.840 Not in all states is that true. But in this case, 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.549 they will deliberate on Saturday or they can deliberate on Saturday. 0:04:20.589 --> 0:04:22.800 So that might happen. So they might. not be feeling 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.930 the normal pressure on a Friday to wrap this thing 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:29.370 up that juries have sometimes. That's all just speculation. Since 0:04:29.390 --> 0:04:33.160 you have been on juries, it seems to me, looking 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:40.200 at this, that there'd be a lot more speculation on 0:04:40.250 --> 0:04:42.710 this one in a jury than a lot of cases, 0:04:42.770 --> 0:04:45.830 wouldn't there? I mean, because in some cases, there's some 0:04:45.890 --> 0:04:48.390 clear-cut evidence, and if you throw in a, yeah, but 0:04:48.430 --> 0:04:50.790 his sister was so upset, well, what's that got to 0:04:50.830 --> 0:04:53.229 do with anything? You got a knife, you got a blah, blah, blah, 0:04:53.250 --> 0:04:55.870 you got a blah, blah, blah. This one, though, it's 0:04:56.089 --> 0:04:58.089 so getting in at somebody's head. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:04:59.719 Right. 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.900 You practically read my mind because I was thinking in 0:05:01.940 --> 0:05:04.630 a lot of criminal cases, the question is, was it 0:05:04.670 --> 0:05:08.070 him and did they prove it beyond a reasonable doubt that, okay, yeah, 0:05:08.330 --> 0:05:11.190 that was his knife and yes, look at his car 0:05:11.250 --> 0:05:15.469 there on the flock camera, which we're yelling about, or whatever. 0:05:15.510 --> 0:05:17.420 Yeah, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. 0:05:17.460 --> 0:05:19.300 But in this one, when you're trying to figure out 0:05:19.420 --> 0:05:25.360 criminal culpability and mental health and contemplating a crime this horrible, 0:05:25.820 --> 0:05:29.140 I mean, there are You know, there are hard facts, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.810 and then there are judgments you have to make. And 0:05:32.990 --> 0:05:38.800 this one is judgment piled on judgment. And you've got 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.700 12 people of varying intellects and abilities to understand or 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.260 think logically or bringing in whatever prejudices they have or whatever, 0:05:47.370 --> 0:05:52.420 trying to Trying to form something that mushy into a 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.480 conclusion is not going to be easy. It's going to 0:05:54.500 --> 0:05:59.590 be extremely difficult. Although, again, I wasn't there for the 0:05:59.690 --> 0:06:04.789 whole thing. And it could be they have a much 0:06:04.810 --> 0:06:07.710 more solid take on this than I would guess from 0:06:07.750 --> 0:06:08.169 a distance. 0:06:08.410 --> 0:06:10.950 Well, it hasn't gone the direction of the most famous 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.020 trial that people are comparing it to is Susan Smith 0:06:15.100 --> 0:06:17.919 back in the 90s when she strapped her kids in 0:06:17.940 --> 0:06:20.440 the car and rolled them in the lake. which was 0:06:20.500 --> 0:06:23.080 just absolutely horrific and really got America's attention. Of course, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.520 we were a different culture back then. We weren't as touchy-feely, 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.820 let's come up with a way to explain away how 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.409 difficult it is to be a parent, that sort of thing. 0:06:32.710 --> 0:06:35.950 And we're all super into whatever mental challenges we have, 0:06:36.290 --> 0:06:36.950 mental illness. 0:06:37.029 --> 0:06:39.349 Mental health was a term that wasn't thrown around a lot. 0:06:39.650 --> 0:06:42.369 That jury deliberated for like an hour and 10 minutes 0:06:42.430 --> 0:06:45.020 and said, yeah, whatever. And she's still in prison as 0:06:45.060 --> 0:06:48.980 a murderer. This jury obviously didn't do that because they 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.240 deliberated for a while yesterday, and they're still at it today. 0:06:52.350 --> 0:06:54.450 Completely different case with different evidence, and I didn't watch it. 0:06:54.450 --> 0:06:59.770 I don't remember Susan Smith's defense. They were trying to 0:06:59.850 --> 0:07:05.200 argue that she was crazy. It wasn't the too-tough-to-be-a-mom postpartum psychosis, 0:07:05.700 --> 0:07:08.260 but it was the she wasn't capable of.... 0:07:12.540 --> 0:07:14.260 Those are two very different things, by the way. It's 0:07:14.300 --> 0:07:17.590 too tough to be a mom in postpartum psychosis. 0:07:18.570 --> 0:07:18.730 Sure. 0:07:18.990 --> 0:07:19.710 Yeah, I don't remember. 0:07:19.930 --> 0:07:20.150 Anyway. 0:07:21.330 --> 0:07:23.470 All right. Well, we'll let the jury decide. That's the 0:07:23.510 --> 0:07:24.650 system we have, and it's a good one. 0:07:27.890 --> 0:07:29.690 Told you I'd tell you about cloud seeding, which is 0:07:29.730 --> 0:07:31.630 more prevalent than I thought. But first, I want to 0:07:31.650 --> 0:07:34.660 tell you about this. I love this. If you think 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.520 financial planning is just for the suit and tie crowd, 0:07:38.100 --> 0:07:40.660 you should think again. Blue collar dollar is for you. 0:07:42.100 --> 0:07:45.760 We're talking to small business owners, farmers, hardworking people who 0:07:45.790 --> 0:07:48.670 built this country, but often get ignored by Wall Street. 0:07:48.690 --> 0:07:50.850 They look down on us and we hate them for that. 0:07:51.090 --> 0:07:53.390 I was knee deep in mud out on the farm 0:07:53.430 --> 0:07:56.680 yesterday trying to fix a broken PVC pipe in the 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.660 100 degree weather.

And I know people who love that. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.400 I know several people, a couple of them I've hired 0:09:13.460 --> 0:09:17.440 as assistants recently to do, because they just love that challenge. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.800 To me, it is hell on earth where other people 0:09:20.820 --> 0:09:22.240 wouldn't want to be out in the hot sun, knee 0:09:22.260 --> 0:09:23.939 deep in the water, fixing a PVC pipe. So I 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:24.920 guess it's just the way you built. 0:09:26.390 --> 0:09:30.500 Sure yeah oh they oh love to that stack of 0:09:30.540 --> 0:09:32.959 paperwork i just love to tear into that and get 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.559 that done i can't imagine that anymore than i can 0:09:36.620 --> 0:09:37.939 imagine i don't know. 0:09:38.380 --> 0:09:40.240 I look at people like that like they're a tribe 0:09:40.260 --> 0:09:43.090 in africa with plates in their lips i just don't get. 0:09:42.950 --> 0:09:48.410 It right thank god you exist joe apparently knows more 0:09:48.450 --> 0:09:51.290 about this than i do because i uh I don't 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.280 know anything about it, really. I've heard of cloud seeding. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.300 I knew it was an idea back in the day. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.450 I didn't know it was happening that much. It's really working, 0:09:58.490 --> 0:10:00.800 according to the free press. and a lot of tech 0:10:00.860 --> 0:10:03.140 people are controlling the weather. Do you remember when Bill 0:10:03.179 --> 0:10:06.380 Gates got a lot of attention for saying something or 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.840 other about controlling the weather and how important it ought 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.580 to be? And I know people who think Bill Gates 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:19.160 is controlling the weather today. The founder of Rainmaker, big company... 0:10:19.540 --> 0:10:21.880 that's doing a lot of this out there right now 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.410 and has been for quite a while. Uh, The guy 0:10:25.450 --> 0:10:28.860 that founded it was a Thiel fellow, Peter Thiel, who 0:10:28.929 --> 0:10:31.860 is controversial in the world that follows that sort of stuff. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.020 He's a PayPal guy, kind of wacky in all kinds 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.500 of different directions. So that adds to the point of 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.740 the free press is this has got all the makings 0:10:39.100 --> 0:10:42.990 of great conspiracy stuff. You got a Peter Thiel guy. 0:10:43.010 --> 0:10:46.870 You got cloud seeding. You got the strongest El Nino 0:10:46.950 --> 0:10:50.209 in living memory seems to be developing right now and 0:10:50.270 --> 0:10:52.110 is going to be in the news for weeks now. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.200 And you got everything you need for a great conspiracy thing. 0:10:56.580 --> 0:11:00.480 And then your point that there's no getting around this, 0:11:00.580 --> 0:11:04.760 is there? If you seed the clouds, the clouds rained 0:11:05.450 --> 0:11:07.910 where they weren't going to rain. And so they don't 0:11:08.010 --> 0:11:10.309 have the rain in them to rain over there. There's 0:11:10.330 --> 0:11:11.969 just no getting around that math, is there? 0:11:12.450 --> 0:11:15.069 Yeah, even a child can understand this. But I didn't 0:11:15.090 --> 0:11:18.709 until somebody pointed it out, especially in places that are 0:11:18.790 --> 0:11:23.780 desperate for rain. Well, let's start here. Wars are fought 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.280 over resources all the time, all the time, since the 0:11:26.340 --> 0:11:30.440 dawn of man. Various, you know, the wars are quasi-wars 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.540 or economic wars. Water is one of the most precious 0:11:33.580 --> 0:11:36.800 resources on the planet, depending on where you are. And 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.260 in parts of Africa, for instance, where the rain cloud 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.030 forms over here, it floats over this country, then rains 0:11:44.170 --> 0:11:47.510 on that country, that country can feed its people. 0:11:47.809 --> 0:11:50.750 The first country that the clouds floated over, they can't. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.420 Okay, so country A decides, yeah, let's see the clouds 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.020 and take the rain, and they take the rain. Now, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.460 it used to be you got to wait until rain 0:11:59.500 --> 0:12:01.800 falls before you can be snatching water, but now. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:02.900 We can do it from the sky. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.059 So it's just, you know, depending on your point of view, 0:12:06.370 --> 0:12:10.570 either resource theft, wait a minute, you're draining the river 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.309 before it gets to me, or it's just, you know, hey, 0:12:13.410 --> 0:12:14.150 tough luck. 0:12:14.490 --> 0:12:17.290 Isn't it just like tapping into your oil field on 0:12:17.330 --> 0:12:21.030 the other side of the boundary? I drink your milkshake. 0:12:21.980 --> 0:12:22.760 It's that, isn't it? 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.599 Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And people tend to 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:26.160 get pissed. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.920 Wow, that'll become an issue. There's going to have to 0:12:30.940 --> 0:12:33.040 be some sort of laws. 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.960 Yeah, I don't know enough about weather patterns to know 0:12:36.980 --> 0:12:38.680 whether this is going to apply to the U.S. 0:12:38.730 --> 0:12:39.470 At all. 0:12:40.230 --> 0:12:42.550 And again, this is a big news story right now. 0:12:42.670 --> 0:12:47.630 It's floating below most radars. But the whole Colorado River story. 0:12:48.050 --> 0:12:50.630 And the way the western United States gets its water, 0:12:50.670 --> 0:12:52.000 including Southern California. 0:12:52.059 --> 0:12:52.860 Arizona, etc. 0:12:53.860 --> 0:12:56.199 it's going to be an enormous story in the next 0:12:56.260 --> 0:13:00.580 few years. Unless we have torrential rains fall in the 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.660 western United States for like the next decade. And then 0:13:03.740 --> 0:13:05.939 this stuff is going to get real, as the kids 0:13:06.300 --> 0:13:07.440 used to say a while back. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.720 Got some updates on a couple of the political races 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.199 out there that are not good news if you're a 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.560 Republican and wanting to hold on to the House or 0:13:16.580 --> 0:13:16.920 the Senate. 0:13:17.530 --> 0:13:19.770 And one of the best spankings of the media I've 0:13:19.790 --> 0:13:21.280 come across in a long time. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.380 I can't wait. I'm going to get warmed up and 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:24.360 just give it to them. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:24.740 Good. 0:13:24.940 --> 0:13:25.760 Awesome. All on the way. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.280 Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:31.230 --> 0:13:33.250 Where'd you get this from, Michael? Where'd this come from? 0:13:34.690 --> 0:13:36.650 One of our prep sites. I thought it was pretty cool. 0:13:37.530 --> 0:13:42.130 Yeah, so Jerry Seinfeld explaining how getting fired works. helped 0:13:42.170 --> 0:13:44.710 his career. I am always talking to my kids about 0:13:44.770 --> 0:13:47.510 various things with failure and moving forward and lessons. I'm 0:13:47.580 --> 0:13:48.580 kind of interested in this. 0:13:48.620 --> 0:13:48.959 Go ahead. 0:13:49.660 --> 0:13:52.800 Yes, there was one huge failure at the beginning. I 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.100 was cast to be a comic relief character on Benson 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.449 in 1980 when I had just moved out to L.A. 0:14:00.470 --> 0:14:02.290 At the age of 26. 0:14:02.290 --> 0:14:05.470 And I did three episodes and I showed up for 0:14:05.490 --> 0:14:07.679 the fourth in And I sat down at the table 0:14:07.700 --> 0:14:09.660 and I go, how come there's no script for me? 0:14:09.700 --> 0:14:11.760 And they go, you've been fired. Why are you here? 0:14:11.780 --> 0:14:15.120 And the agent didn't call me to tell me I 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.900 was fired. I was already a very dedicated stand-up comedian, 0:14:18.970 --> 0:14:22.830 but that locked the safe. I went, okay, from now on, 0:14:23.230 --> 0:14:27.550 nobody else's material. Because I'm doing their crappy material and dying. 0:14:27.730 --> 0:14:30.990 So that was a failure that was a great propeller 0:14:31.130 --> 0:14:31.490 for me. 0:14:32.970 --> 0:14:34.170 Joe and I can relate to that. 0:14:34.950 --> 0:14:35.350 Yeah. 0:14:35.370 --> 0:14:35.450 Yeah. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:36.150 Yeah. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.160 Was it Jerry who gave us that great piece of 0:14:39.180 --> 0:14:42.500 wisdom about fail on your terms, don't fail on somebody 0:14:42.540 --> 0:14:43.140 else's terms? 0:14:43.260 --> 0:14:43.840 Probably was. 0:14:44.340 --> 0:14:47.160 Sounds like it from Matt. Because we had that experience 0:14:47.180 --> 0:14:50.700 a couple places in radio with bosses telling us exactly 0:14:50.900 --> 0:14:53.680 what kind of show to be and what sort of 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.640 things to say. And it was mediocre at best. And 0:14:57.660 --> 0:15:02.980 then finally, at some point, we decided, man, the last 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.090 thing you want to do if you get into any 0:15:05.180 --> 0:15:09.510 sort of entertainment business, is get driven out of it 0:15:09.670 --> 0:15:11.210 and then wonder, I wonder what would have happened if 0:15:11.270 --> 0:15:12.720 I had tried to do it the way I think 0:15:12.770 --> 0:15:13.290 it ought to happen. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.320 Yeah, I wonder if I'd played my songs, if that 0:15:16.340 --> 0:15:18.520 would have gone better. Oh, no, that'll haunt you till 0:15:18.540 --> 0:15:20.880 your dying day. If you do it your way and fail, 0:15:20.900 --> 0:15:22.880 you think, yeah, it's funny, I thought that'd work. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:23.870 But you tried. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.760 You didn't get controlled by somebody else and then be 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.900 swept away, having never given it a real attempt. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:30.820 Man, and our bosses. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:31.520 That would be terrible. 0:15:31.540 --> 0:15:33.780 Katie, when we came over to start doing talk radio, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.060 because we did music before, our bosses hated the way 0:15:37.100 --> 0:15:41.620 we did our show. I mean, hated it. Part of 0:15:41.660 --> 0:15:43.600 it was we were being followed by Dr. Laura, who 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.420 had pretty good ratings. Oh, yeah. And the market manager said, Dr. 0:15:47.460 --> 0:15:53.420 Laura's audience is here. You're here. And that's the problem. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.040 You're over here. That's when he took away our office 0:15:56.100 --> 0:15:58.590 and we had moved our office to where the vending 0:15:58.620 --> 0:16:00.430 machines were. We had to sit in the room with 0:16:00.470 --> 0:16:04.250 the vending machines for our office with folding chairs. You 0:16:04.270 --> 0:16:06.470 guys showed them. Oh, my God. 0:16:06.570 --> 0:16:08.320 I don't think it was air conditioned either, was it? 0:16:08.370 --> 0:16:10.090 It was always hot, probably from the vending machines. 0:16:10.110 --> 0:16:11.320 Well, we couldn't fit in there, so we had to 0:16:11.390 --> 0:16:13.020 open the door to the outside to be able to 0:16:13.060 --> 0:16:16.140 fit in this tiny little room where the vending machines were. And, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.070 you know, you're trying to work. And constantly people are 0:16:19.090 --> 0:16:20.890 coming to get a candy bar and saying, hey, what 0:16:20.910 --> 0:16:22.470 are you doing? This is our office now. 0:16:22.630 --> 0:16:25.050 What's going on? Or because we had to open up 0:16:25.090 --> 0:16:27.370 the door to outside people, it's like an office park. 0:16:28.250 --> 0:16:29.930 And people would wander by and. 0:16:29.910 --> 0:16:31.980 Look at us. Hey, how are you? 0:16:32.260 --> 0:16:34.739 Anyway, the ultimate point being we had decided to try 0:16:34.780 --> 0:16:36.120 to do what we thought was the best way to 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.360 do it. And thank God it's worked out. 0:16:37.780 --> 0:16:40.500 And it's gone from mediocre at best to consistently mediocre. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:41.020 Exactly. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.720 There you go. Lesson learned. Fantastic. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.790 There's some bad news out there if Republicans want to 0:16:48.830 --> 0:16:50.850 hang on to the Senate. I figure the House is 0:16:50.990 --> 0:16:54.870 a done deal, gone. But maybe even the Senate. New 0:16:54.910 --> 0:16:57.890 polling out of Texas. It shows that Tallarico guy in 0:16:57.910 --> 0:17:01.340 the lead. Or at least it's toss-up, according to most 0:17:01.420 --> 0:17:05.840 of your really well-respected polling outfits now. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.500 Yeah, boy, polls are tougher and tougher to take seriously. 0:17:09.580 --> 0:17:13.510 But you're better off taking it seriously than saying, no, 0:17:13.550 --> 0:17:14.390 it'll be fine. 0:17:14.430 --> 0:17:16.570 I'm losing. I can take it as seriously as I want. 0:17:16.609 --> 0:17:18.470 I have no effect on Texas politics. But they haven't 0:17:18.510 --> 0:17:20.830 elected a statewide Democrat since the 90s. 0:17:21.430 --> 0:17:22.390 Right, right. 0:17:23.500 --> 0:17:26.310 Plus a fascinating book that's just coming out that I 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.730 can't wait to read, written by one of the bravest 0:17:28.790 --> 0:17:31.570 people I've ever heard of in my life. When ISIS 0:17:31.630 --> 0:17:34.590 moved into Mosul and a lot of people fled, he 0:17:35.450 --> 0:17:37.619 stayed to document what would happen. 0:17:37.780 --> 0:17:39.420 Whoa. Yeah. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.040 That sounds fascinating. 0:17:41.619 --> 0:17:43.380 Oh, golly gee, it is. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.560 Plus a well-deserved spanking for the media from one of 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.679 my favorite writers. 0:17:49.340 --> 0:17:49.949 All sorts of good stuff. 0:17:49.970 --> 0:17:52.080 That's a lot of good stuff. I'll stay tuned. Yes, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.780 consistently mediocre. We'll bring it to you. That's what we do, information. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.460 If you missed the segment, get the podcast, Armstrong and Getty, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.760 on demand. You can listen to whatever you want. If 0:18:01.780 --> 0:18:04.500 you subscribe, they'll get fed to you whenever you want. 0:18:04.540 --> 0:18:06.600 We do 20 hours of this every single week, man. 0:18:09.830 --> 0:18:10.970 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:10.990 --> 0:18:18.200 I heard this story all day long yesterday. about Trump 0:18:18.220 --> 0:18:22.419 wanting to change Lake Ontario to Lake America. But I 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.470 hadn't seen the actual presentation of it till just now 0:18:27.210 --> 0:18:29.850 on video when he's standing there. He's sitting there in 0:18:29.869 --> 0:18:32.830 the Oval Office. The president of the United States is 0:18:33.150 --> 0:18:35.390 sitting at his desk in the Oval Office with some 0:18:35.430 --> 0:18:40.830 of his biggest advisors around him, a big map, you know, 0:18:41.130 --> 0:18:43.950 where they changed the name from Lake Ontario to Lake America. 0:18:44.230 --> 0:18:46.639 And then this guy explaining what is happening. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.960 We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, 0:18:52.190 --> 0:18:56.840 effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place 0:18:57.460 --> 0:18:59.940 right now as I sign the Order, do you have 0:18:59.980 --> 0:19:01.619 anything to say about it, Ben? 0:19:01.660 --> 0:19:02.140 Yes, sir. 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.580 So this is a straightforward but important executive order. 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.770 It directs Secretary Burgum and the Department of the Interior 0:19:08.850 --> 0:19:13.230 to update the Geographic Names Information Service to reflect that 0:19:13.250 --> 0:19:16.810 the lake once known as Lake Ontario will from this 0:19:16.830 --> 0:19:17.450 day forward be. 0:19:17.390 --> 0:19:18.550 Known as Lake America. 0:19:18.770 --> 0:19:20.619 And he's, I don't know that guy, but he's standing 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:25.760 there next to Stephen Miller, who's got a very, you know, expressionless, 0:19:25.859 --> 0:19:30.609 serious face. All of these people acting like this isn't crazy. 0:19:31.170 --> 0:19:33.530 All of these people standing there acting like it's not 0:19:33.630 --> 0:19:37.790
