Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong, and Jettie
Speaker 1: and Pee.
Speaker 2: Arm get it from the studio. See a dimly lit
Speaker 2: room deeper from the bowels of the Armstrong in Getty
Speaker 2: Communications Compound.
Speaker 3: And today we're not our tutelage of our what.
Speaker 2: Our general manager?
Speaker 3: That's it? General Manager?
Speaker 4: Is the light blazing in your eyes since it's not
Speaker 4: a dimly lit room today distracting you?
Speaker 2: We've forgotten the dim the lights from mister Armstrong. Lord,
Speaker 2: how's he.
Speaker 3: Expected to work like this?
Speaker 2: The room with Norman lighting. There's the cave. There's the cave. Look,
Speaker 2: it's like we're doing heart surgery in here.
Speaker 4: Our general manager is Kamala Harris, who delivered a speech
Speaker 4: last night from the very spot where the Clan rallied
Speaker 4: in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 2: Look it up. Yeah, I thought that was a funny
Speaker 2: meme yesterday, her having her rally and then showing pictures
Speaker 2: of the Klan there back in the day. That's funny.
Speaker 4: And evidently six hours before she went on, someone made
Speaker 4: an untoward knock knock jokes that we will now tie
Speaker 4: her to.
Speaker 2: Well, I just heard NPR talking about the Puerto Rico joke.
Speaker 3: I thought so Sunday night.
Speaker 2: It was in the news cycle Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I
Speaker 2: heard on the way to work, that's four days. I
Speaker 2: don't this might be the first four day story of
Speaker 2: the election for like one little you know, dust up.
Speaker 4: That's funny. I wonder if we heard the same report.
Speaker 4: I was listening to MPR to punish myself for the
Speaker 4: bad things I've done, and they were talking to various correspondents,
Speaker 4: and the one who is reporting from Pennsylvania on the
Speaker 4: Trump rally said, you know, before I describe it, it's
Speaker 4: worth noting that this area of Pennsylvania has many Puerto
Speaker 4: Rican Americans who are deeply offended by that. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: for God's sake, Uh yeah, don't worry about the economy,
Speaker 4: the borders, national security, the military.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about any of that. That's why I don't
Speaker 2: have my panties in a bunch about Joe Biden calling
Speaker 2: us garbage, which will play that clip here in a
Speaker 2: long ago Darry, my panties are you kidding me? They'll
Speaker 2: never be unbunched. I'm not a fan when the other side,
Speaker 2: wats they're panties. I'm not gonna watch my panties on
Speaker 2: this side. So anyway, we'll get into that whole bust up. Also,
Speaker 2: but this might be the first four day news cycle
Speaker 2: for some crazy story of the whole election. I don't know.
Speaker 4: The New York Times, the lefty media has flogged various
Speaker 4: idiot stories for a very long time. I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't remember when lasts long. See, this is your wrongness,
Speaker 4: is the proof of your rightness or something you you're
Speaker 4: helping us understand the importance of the passage of time,
Speaker 4: which is, if you think about it's so important the
Speaker 4: passage of time. No, it's that these stories that they
Speaker 4: attempt to flog for a week, week and a half,
Speaker 4: in spite of them being just nothing burgers. The minute
Speaker 4: they're gone, you forget about them completely.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: If Kamala loses, I think there's a possibility that it's
Speaker 2: looked back on at some point that this wouldn't wasn't
Speaker 2: the best expenditure of your time on the last week
Speaker 2: of the presidential election. Because the media, you know, takes
Speaker 2: its cue from the campaign, and the media is on
Speaker 2: this all the time. And not on the bigger stories
Speaker 2: that I assume they'd rather talk about. There are sixty
Speaker 2: thousand people at her rally last night, though, That is
Speaker 2: an enormous crowd. Yeah, that's a big win, sixty grand.
Speaker 2: And there's Nicky Haley on TV and I just heard
Speaker 2: her and I thought she was absolutely right. Everybody has
Speaker 2: decided what they think of January sixth a long time ago,
Speaker 2: years ago, decided whether or not, you you know, that
Speaker 2: disqualifies the guy or not.
Speaker 3: That's not an issue at all. People are trying to decide.
Speaker 2: Some people still trying to decide do you want four
Speaker 2: more years of what we just had or do you
Speaker 2: want to, you know, do something different. That's the decision.
Speaker 2: It's not well January sixth. How do I feel about that?
Speaker 2: Is there anybody in America that could be nudged on
Speaker 2: that issue?
Speaker 4: It's an excellent point, and I was reading a piece
Speaker 4: it might have been Rich Lowry in the National Review
Speaker 4: is pointing out that for all of the regrettable, horrible
Speaker 4: moments and aspects of January sixth, we have had, as
Speaker 4: you indicated, several years now, of the Harris Biden administration.
Speaker 4: Biden Harris illustrating what we're comparing Trump to. And while
Speaker 4: January sixth was a pivotal moment and an awful one
Speaker 4: in my opinion, it was not the be all and
Speaker 4: end all of a American existence. Once again, at the
Speaker 4: risk of sounding like a broken record snold expression, kids,
Speaker 4: ask your grandparents about it. The economy, national security, the border, inflation,
Speaker 4: Trump being an a hole on January six No, no,
Speaker 4: that really doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's not enough. Sixty grand though. That's a big crowd.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that means anything. It's an indication
Speaker 2: of whatever Ginormally, it's not without support, it's you know,
Speaker 2: roughly tied. And as they pointed out on MSNBCA, they said,
Speaker 2: only fifty three only fifty three thousand people were at
Speaker 2: Trump's rally on January that's devastating, devastating statistic. And it's
Speaker 2: not possible that the Democratic Party in the hairs campaign
Speaker 2: put out the word to the federal workforce, which is
Speaker 2: almost entirely Democrat.
Speaker 3: HM.
Speaker 4: That makes you stop and think, no chance they put
Speaker 4: out the word that hey, this is like super crazy
Speaker 4: important be there on the White House long the ellipse.
Speaker 3: That's what happened. I wanted to talk about that.
Speaker 2: So Kamala Harris the other day she started saying something
Speaker 2: that I was really happy to hear. I think it's
Speaker 2: a good direction, and I think it's happening, so it's
Speaker 2: recognizing reality. Kamala Harris was talking about some of us
Speaker 2: need to get over our idea that college is the
Speaker 2: only path for a kid coming out of high school.
Speaker 2: Not every job out their good job out there requires
Speaker 2: a college degree. There are plenty other paths. And I thought, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm loving this. You know, if the party of the
Speaker 2: over educated woman is saying college education isn't the only
Speaker 2: way to make your way in the world, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: But then she said, there are many federal jobs where
Speaker 2: I'm going to take away the restriction for you need
Speaker 2: to have a college degree.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's all about federal jobs.
Speaker 2: You're not talking about HVAC workers or whatever the hell else. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like the sentiment though, and I think it's true.
Speaker 2: Let's start the show officially just so we can talk
Speaker 2: about that dust up. Let's see if I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 2: not actually wearing panties. I never I've never had a
Speaker 2: pair on, but if I did, I wouldn't wab them
Speaker 2: over this silky, very comfortable. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe
Speaker 2: Getty on this It is Wednesday, October the thirtieth, the
Speaker 2: year twenty twenty four, War Armstrong and getting we.
Speaker 3: Approve of this program.
Speaker 2: All right, then let's leap into action.
Speaker 4: According to CC rules of regulations, the show starts officially
Speaker 4: at mark.
Speaker 5: Or Puerto Rico, where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
Speaker 5: They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
Speaker 5: floating down there is his supporters. His demonizational scene is
Speaker 5: I'm consitable.
Speaker 2: Please forgive him for he not knows what he said.
Speaker 2: So that's the comment that's royal and twitter on social
Speaker 2: media last very and so there you go. My only
Speaker 2: amusement at this whole thing. My main amusement is that
Speaker 2: they're idiotic gaff neutralized are idiotic gaff and now we
Speaker 2: can all shut up about it, right, As a number
Speaker 2: of people pointed out, So the surrogate, who Trump doesn't
Speaker 2: even know, calling Puerto Rico garbage is a four day story.
Speaker 2: We'll see how many days the Biden calling half the
Speaker 2: country garbage is a story for mainstream media. President. They
Speaker 2: both shouldn't be stories is really the point to me,
Speaker 2: as opposed to Oh my god, he called this garbage.
Speaker 2: I need a coloring book and a puppy.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, I've got a question for you, and well
Speaker 4: I'll just ask it. Why should the Biden comment not
Speaker 4: be a story?
Speaker 2: Because to me, because and a lot of this is
Speaker 2: because I'm in the in this business business I'm in.
Speaker 2: He came out very shortly after and said earlier, earlier today,
Speaker 2: I refer to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed
Speaker 2: by Trump's supporter Madison Square Garden rally as garbage, which
Speaker 2: is the only word I can think of describe it.
Speaker 2: His demonization of Latina is unconstable. That's all I meant
Speaker 2: to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who
Speaker 2: we are as a nation. He says, that's not what
Speaker 2: he meant. I say things I don't mean all the
Speaker 2: time and wish I could have phrased them differently. And
Speaker 2: I think if you say something incorrectly and then you
Speaker 2: go back and say that's not what I meant, we
Speaker 2: should take you at your word, unless you say it
Speaker 2: multiple times or not. All right, Jack Clear Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: supporter so did Hilary intend to say basket of adorables
Speaker 2: in your world covering up for the progressives. I don't
Speaker 2: believe she come up. I don't believe she came out
Speaker 2: and said that's not what I meant. She stuck with
Speaker 2: it now. I just I don't like the if you
Speaker 2: slip up, that's nailed to you for the rest of
Speaker 2: your life.
Speaker 3: Don't It has never made sense to me.
Speaker 4: I agree completely in principle. On the other hand, given
Speaker 4: the utter unevenness of the playing field, if his idiotic
Speaker 4: gaff neutralizes the comedian's idiotic gaff and the idea that
Speaker 4: Trump should somehow answer for it, that then you trump
Speaker 4: it up just because of the wildly unfair playing field.
Speaker 2: Oh on the sharp elbowed game of politics, of course.
Speaker 2: But what should have happened is the Trump campaign came
Speaker 2: out on Sunday night and said Trump doesn't even know
Speaker 2: the guy. We didn't know why he was going to
Speaker 2: say that, and we disavow those remarks. We wish if
Speaker 2: we had known he was going to say that, we
Speaker 2: wouldn't have had him the end.
Speaker 4: And or KJP comes out and says, look, Joe Biden
Speaker 4: is senile af Okay, well, that's me.
Speaker 2: You all know it, all right.
Speaker 3: That's the other thing.
Speaker 2: Governor Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, said last night
Speaker 2: on CNN. I'm giving you my fresh reaction to it.
Speaker 2: This was like right after it had happened, and he
Speaker 2: saw it while he was on the air. I would
Speaker 2: never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans,
Speaker 2: even if they chose to support a candidate that I
Speaker 2: didn't support. That's the way you clean it up if
Speaker 2: your brain works. Yeah, but Biden's brain doesn't work.
Speaker 5: Flown there is supporters there, you go.
Speaker 4: That's a simple declarative sentence. Despite Jack's Democrat mumbo jumbo
Speaker 4: and an attempt to cover it up.
Speaker 2: They're claiming the apostrophe is silent. He who's saying his
Speaker 2: supporters as in that guy as opposed to supporters half
Speaker 2: the country support.
Speaker 4: That's what they're not supporters, right, Wow, you're worse than KJP.
Speaker 4: I'm shot, that's what they're claiming. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Garbage I see flowing down there is your supporters.
Speaker 3: I think he's an old man.
Speaker 2: Lawnmowers. They're only garbage that's floating out there. Are his
Speaker 2: supporters garbage, the garbage of his supporters. The rally is
Speaker 2: what he meant, I think and his brain. Okay, that
Speaker 2: doesn't work, and he doesn't know what day it is
Speaker 2: or that he's president. Joe Biden is a dummy.
Speaker 4: He'd be great for a second term.
Speaker 2: I keep up with him. As Trump said, he knoweth
Speaker 2: not what he's say. Yes, yeah, it's a slip of
Speaker 2: the toe. How does mailbag look? Oh, it's fine, it's
Speaker 2: on the way text line four one five two nine
Speaker 2: five k FTC. The fabulous Tim Carney, who we used
Speaker 2: to have on the show all the time, tweeted out,
Speaker 2: I've obtained a draft version of Biden's speech from yesterday,
Speaker 2: and so you see the original version of the speech
Speaker 2: where he came out and said, Puerto Rico's not trash.
Speaker 2: Trump supporters are trash. Originally it said Puerto Rico's not trash,
Speaker 2: Your mom is trash. Crossed that out, your face is trash?
Speaker 2: Crossed that out? What what Trump supporters are?
Speaker 3: Trash?
Speaker 2: Your mom is trash. Wow, here's here's your freedom loving
Speaker 2: quote of the.
Speaker 4: Day from Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 2: Why don't we go with I thought I had it,
Speaker 2: but then I got We'll go with this.
Speaker 4: Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as
Speaker 4: to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. HM,
Speaker 4: it's unquestionably true. I think there's a large genetic component
Speaker 4: in that. Having had several multi decade relationships with various
Speaker 4: friends and family members, some of them, you can try
Speaker 4: to help them stay calm as much as you want,
Speaker 4: and it's just not going to happen.
Speaker 2: That's what Henry and I are learning from watching Tracker,
Speaker 2: the importance of staying calm. That's what he talks about
Speaker 2: every episode Tracker. I don't know Track. No, I we'll
Speaker 2: talk about it later. Okay, mail Bag, it's one.
Speaker 3: Of your binge watch shows right now.
Speaker 2: I assume it involves Tracking. Yeah, he's like a like
Speaker 2: a bounty hunter sort of guy.
Speaker 4: Go a classic. I just started The Penguin last night
Speaker 4: on the Max. It's compelling stuff. Gritty, Yeah, gritty.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I can only watch things that my kids watch.
Speaker 3: I don't watch that. That's not the show.
Speaker 2: No, don't watch it.
Speaker 4: Drop us a note nail back at armstrung and Giddy
Speaker 4: dot com. If you get a note, or if you
Speaker 4: if you want to drop us note listen boys, writes Patrick, Guys,
Speaker 4: how about the last minute Halloween costume lady again this year?
Speaker 4: Maybe you could track her down? Do you even know
Speaker 4: her name? What became of her?
Speaker 2: If she has any ideas this year, we can hire
Speaker 2: tracker he'd find her. Yeah, infamous armstrung Getty interview in
Speaker 2: which we were pitched a guest who would help listeners
Speaker 2: with last minute Halloween costume ideas is what he said.
Speaker 2: So what are what are some of the things what
Speaker 2: folks might do last minute? And she says, oh gosh,
Speaker 2: I guess you could look through your closet and like
Speaker 2: we'd walking up her, walking her up out of bed
Speaker 2: and with this question, like here's some sort of welding expert,
Speaker 2: and you know, we just hit her with that out
Speaker 2: of nowhere. Oh boy, that was uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: It would have been the end of interviews in phone calls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, most of them. Yeah, let's see a couple of
Speaker 4: people expressed the same sentiment. Not sure I agree, but
Speaker 4: I thought I would air it. Chris writes, Dear gentlemen
Speaker 4: and Katie, maybe hiring that insult comedian for the msg
Speaker 4: rally was a smart move. He attracted all the negative
Speaker 4: media like a lightning rod, deflecting it away from anything
Speaker 4: Trump said or did. And after it stood around Biden's
Speaker 4: brain for two days, he conflated all the players and
Speaker 4: called half the country garbage. Brilliant move. So yes, supporters, right,
Speaker 4: it only took me eight years to level up from
Speaker 4: deplorable to garbage.
Speaker 2: Who says the American tream was dead? So that Chris,
Speaker 2: that's great. So that comedian in that four and a
Speaker 2: half hour event spoke what four hours before Trump hit
Speaker 2: the stage for Trump was I'm sure even in that
Speaker 2: part of Manhattan.
Speaker 3: And they did a go over his script.
Speaker 2: His script was failing, and like a lot of comedians
Speaker 2: do when you're dying on stage, he started ad libbing.
Speaker 2: And that's where the Puerto Rico trash thing. He kind
Speaker 2: of went back to his bit or his act. But
Speaker 2: his script that they went over included Kamala being called
Speaker 2: a sea bomb, and they said no, and they scratched
Speaker 2: that out. If he had dropped a sea bomb, that
Speaker 2: might have actually lost Trump the election.
Speaker 4: I mean, now we understand this guy is a popular
Speaker 4: and growing comedian slash podcast or he's big in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 4: Fine but good Lord, what a decision. Anyway, back to
Speaker 4: the emails, Steve from Everett, Washington. Listening to Kamala's speech
Speaker 4: on the Ellipse and DC, I was struck by two thoughts. One,
Speaker 4: it was kind of stupid she spoke after dark because
Speaker 4: it took away any visual comparison to January sixth. That's
Speaker 4: interesting point and to leftist view actions and consequences as
Speaker 4: untethered concepts. The progressive might say, I choose to believe
Speaker 4: in a world where we were under the end of
Speaker 4: the dock and soar majestically into the sky. Or as
Speaker 4: a person on the right would reply, if you jump
Speaker 4: off the dock, you're going to get wet. And then
Speaker 4: JT and livermore fabulous invaluable correspondent with an email entitled
Speaker 4: I truly feel sorry for democrats. Okay, if only we
Speaker 4: had time to share it with you. Now you'll have
Speaker 4: to stay with us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the half of you that are garbage can stick around,
Speaker 2: and the rest of us we'll all be here. If
Speaker 2: that's all. I've got a lot of news to catch
Speaker 2: you up on. I hope you can stay here. If
Speaker 2: you miss an urget the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
Speaker 2: demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: In these United States of America, we are not a
Speaker 6: vessel for the schemes of wanna be dictators.
Speaker 2: We have lots from her speech last night. That was
Speaker 2: eight seconds, and I told Michael that's all I can handle.
Speaker 2: I am not in the mood to hear more than that,
Speaker 2: at least not right now.
Speaker 4: The closing argument is I will bring Americans together, and
Speaker 4: Donald Trump will put you in camps.
Speaker 3: You know what she said roughly, so we don't need
Speaker 3: to play.
Speaker 4: Clips, to which America responded to tell me more about
Speaker 4: these camps because I can't afford my rent because of inflation.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, bacon's too expensive. Oh the rent's too damn high.
Speaker 2: That's right. More on where the presidential election stands In
Speaker 2: a moment, as we finish off mail bag.
Speaker 4: I feel truly sorry for the dam's rights. JT In Livermore.
Speaker 4: How awful it must be to be part of a
Speaker 4: party that cherishes blind conformity over independent, critical original thinking.
Speaker 4: How terrible it must be to filter every thought, in
Speaker 4: every word based on how your fellow party members will
Speaker 4: receive anything you say or don't say, anything you do
Speaker 4: or don't do. It would be so depressing to have
Speaker 4: your personal growth arrested because your whole bubbled worldview would
Speaker 4: never call you out or challenge you for saying ridiculous things.
Speaker 4: For example, you can make a fool of yourself and
Speaker 4: claim that Trump holding a political rally in MSG is
Speaker 4: reminiscent of a Nazi rally eighty years ago because it
Speaker 4: is in the same building, and it's not. By the way,
Speaker 4: it's not even in the same building. In fact, you'd
Speaker 4: be ostracized for point out out to the Dems that
Speaker 4: they have rallied.
Speaker 2: They've had many rallies in that same building.
Speaker 4: I think my lucky stars that my circle of family,
Speaker 4: friends and party will actually call me out if I
Speaker 4: say or do anything out of line, unreasonable, or in
Speaker 4: any ways deserving to be called out. It's what helps
Speaker 4: me grow, It's what helps me gain true confidence. I
Speaker 4: could go on and on, but I think I've made
Speaker 4: my point. You have, indeed, JT.
Speaker 3: So the race is incredibly tight. You knew that.
Speaker 2: That's not news to anyone, as I've only heard us say, though,
Speaker 2: because I think this is interesting. If you spent gazillions
Speaker 2: of dollars and told people, I want you to reply
Speaker 2: to a polster with the word red, and then he
Speaker 2: told half the other people, I want you to reply
Speaker 2: to a polster with the word blue. Yes, you could
Speaker 2: not pay people to get this close to fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty and have it hold for a month after month
Speaker 2: after month.
Speaker 3: It'd be impossible. I mean, it's just it's stunning that.
Speaker 2: You can get two billion dollars in an army of volunteers.
Speaker 2: Could you do that?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Oh, and prizes.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's stunning that it's this close
Speaker 2: to fifty to fifty in the six states that determine
Speaker 2: the election. It's just I don't even know how this happens.
Speaker 2: It's weird. AnyWho who knows how long it'll take to
Speaker 2: actually figure out who won on election night, that's a
Speaker 2: different story. One thing that Mark Halprin does, though, that
Speaker 2: I think is interesting in his newsletter. It might be
Speaker 2: a little bit of old manism, because he's like our
Speaker 2: age of putting too much emphasis on newspapers when a
Speaker 2: lot of America, including me, you know, picks up their
Speaker 2: phone every day and gets news from one hundred different sources.
Speaker 2: But he often talks about how the big flap that
Speaker 2: everybody's talking about in politics is not making it into
Speaker 2: any of the battleground newspapers at all. He goes over
Speaker 2: the storylines for the last twenty four hours, for instance,
Speaker 2: the Puerto Rico Madison Square garden thing, what President said
Speaker 2: about garbage, Kamala Harris's closing argument on the ellip all
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, and he said, but these storylines
Speaker 2: are virtually nonexistent on the home pages of the battleground
Speaker 2: state newspapers. And he goes to the Las Vegas Sun,
Speaker 2: the Arizona Central, the Atlanta Journal, Constitution, the Citizen Times
Speaker 2: of whatever that's from Milwaukee Journal, Detroit News, Philadelphia Inquire.
Speaker 2: All your big states are big newspapers, and they have
Speaker 2: zero stories about those things. I that's interesting. I'm intrigued.
Speaker 4: But I would have to know, you know, virtually market
Speaker 4: by market, Where do you get your news? Right of
Speaker 4: the voters, Yeah, I think a disturbing number would reply
Speaker 4: TikTok or Facebook.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, or Twitter or Instagram or whatever where they
Speaker 2: might be talking endlessly about the Puerto Rican joke.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Can you play the Biden clip we opened with again?
Speaker 2: Since this is the one day flap of the Final
Speaker 2: League of Outrage, it's an insult to America.
Speaker 5: Or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
Speaker 5: They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
Speaker 5: floating down there as his supporters. His his demonizational scene
Speaker 5: is unconstable.
Speaker 2: Please forgive him so. Yeah, they don't need that.
Speaker 4: No, the incoherence of it is striking as well. The
Speaker 4: first part, I'm not even sure what he was saying.
Speaker 2: Which helps him actually in this and that you realize
Speaker 2: he can barely talk. But I mean, if you read it,
Speaker 2: it sounds like he called Trump supporters garbage, which is
Speaker 2: half the country anyway. The New York Times, with some
Speaker 2: exclusive reporting on this. After Biden's remark, Harris campaign officials
Speaker 2: privately gauged whether his comments would require her to disagree
Speaker 2: with him publicly or support his explanation that the comments
Speaker 2: were taken out of context. That's always a bad explanation.
Speaker 2: The whole taken out of context. Sometimes is accurate, but
Speaker 2: very very often that's a bad dodge. Yeah, I would
Speaker 2: go with it.
Speaker 3: Please.
Speaker 2: I got my words jumbled up. That's not what I
Speaker 2: meant to at all. Here's what I meant. People either
Speaker 2: believe you or they don't. But I mean, I can
Speaker 2: tell you don't. Would you agree or not? I regularly
Speaker 2: say things I didn't mean it to come out that way.
Speaker 2: If I could get a second take, I would reword
Speaker 2: it completely.
Speaker 4: I did once in nineteen ninety seven. I try to
Speaker 4: be precise in my speed. You slowly, methodically craft your sentences.
Speaker 4: I put the jarond here, the predicate there, oh my goodness,
Speaker 4: and the punctuation is here.
Speaker 2: In my mind. Uh yeah, yeah, I just he's a
Speaker 2: senile old man again. I just love it because they're
Speaker 2: inflating of an utterly meaningless, idiotic comment by a noun
Speaker 2: entity dominated the news cycle for four days, and now
Speaker 2: Republicans can neutralize it with their own ridiculousness. By the way,
Speaker 2: the people that told The New York Times this inside
Speaker 2: stuff asked for anonymity to discuss the private deliberations. Some
Speaker 2: Democrats were not waiting to distance themselves from Biden's remark.
Speaker 2: I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania the Americans,
Speaker 2: said Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania on CNN last night, so.
Speaker 4: Seeking to distance himself from both Biden and Harris for
Speaker 4: his political future.
Speaker 2: I would actually like to have been in on that
Speaker 2: conversation where Harris people got together and said, Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: you know, crazy Joe Biden, the guy who's actually still president,
Speaker 2: and she probably rolls her eyes like, I know, my god,
Speaker 2: can you believe it? And them saying he just called
Speaker 2: Trump supporters garbage. Oh my god, does anybody listen to
Speaker 2: Biden anymore? They probably said, do you think this matters?
Speaker 2: Do we need to come out and say something?
Speaker 4: And he was probably sitting there during those deliberations, staring
Speaker 4: out onto the South Lawn vacantide.
Speaker 2: He was sound asleep while the Harris people were discussing this.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, ah, silly season. Indeed, friends, Yeah, Barack
Speaker 2: Obama once called the end of campaign silly season, and
Speaker 2: that's a pretty accurate description.
Speaker 3: You get stuff like the Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2: Thing and this, and it gets all blown up.
Speaker 4: Came across something really interesting, Fred Bauer. He was talking
Speaker 4: about the giant flap well tempest in a teapot really
Speaker 4: at the La Times and the Washington Post, when both
Speaker 4: of those fine newspapers decided not to endorse anyone for president.
Speaker 4: In the case of the Wapole, going back to their tradition,
Speaker 4: for many, many years, which they only upset in nineteen
Speaker 4: seventy six, and blah.
Speaker 2: Blah, I've got something thought on that that might help
Speaker 2: set up what you're about to say. Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2: This is from Ian Bremer yesterday, completely disagreeing with our
Speaker 2: take on the whole thing. I thought it was awesome
Speaker 2: and brave of Jeffrey Bezos to come out and say
Speaker 2: that and say this is what we're going to get
Speaker 2: back to you, and talking about how it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: For newspapers to endorse campaigns.
Speaker 2: And it's smart business too what Bezos did. Ian Bremmer said,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with the argument that newspapers should be independent,
Speaker 2: shouldn't make political endorsements, But the idea that Bezos would
Speaker 2: make that decision a week before the most consequential election
Speaker 2: of his life in defense of the candidate who makes
Speaker 2: unprecedented attacks on independent presses enemies of the people, is
Speaker 2: the biggest weenie move I've ever seen from a billionaire.
Speaker 2: And that's a high bar. A shot at Elon, I think,
Speaker 2: uh wow, Yeah, I agree that well.
Speaker 4: I agree that the timing was unfortunate because it absolutely
Speaker 4: gives people who want to question your motives opportunity to
Speaker 4: question it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to imagine why you would wait till
Speaker 2: a week before the election.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, And although, good lord, Ian going with the
Speaker 4: most consequential elections of our lifetime. Yeah, okay, all right, fine, Trump.
Speaker 2: Is a jackass. Some of this stuff he says about
Speaker 2: media biases over the top. It's imprecise.
Speaker 4: But the idea that Trump is the threat to media independence,
Speaker 4: Trump is the threat to free speech and the free press.
Speaker 2: That is hilarious if you are a student of that issue,
Speaker 2: as i am. Ask Matt Tayeebee, who's the threat to
Speaker 2: the First Amendment?
Speaker 4: Ask Barry Wisse, Ask Bill Maherr. I could go on
Speaker 4: and on. If you like has Jerry Seinfeld. Sorry, Ian,
Speaker 4: you're a nice fella and I like you, but you're
Speaker 4: wrong about a third of the time.
Speaker 2: And when you're wrong, you're good and wrong. Anyway, that
Speaker 2: was a tungue lashing.
Speaker 4: More and more a carefully constructed one too.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: If you ever hear Joe pause, it's because he's thinking,
Speaker 2: is that that's a dangling participle. Let me reword that.
Speaker 4: Let me see in your head, let me see if
Speaker 4: I can reattach that participle.
Speaker 2: More on the WAPO freak out coming out and why
Speaker 2: it was so you know, it's adamant afterword from our friends,
Speaker 2: it simply save home security. This is I mean. Every
Speaker 2: time I think simply Safe has leapt ahead as far
Speaker 2: as they could go, they leap ahead again. Simply Safe
Speaker 2: has their active guard outdoor protection. It prevents crimes before
Speaker 2: they happen using artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: The AI can tell the difference between friendly phases like
Speaker 2: family and neighbors and potential threat alerting agents to suspicious
Speaker 2: individuals before they get close to your home, so that
Speaker 2: your lasers you've got on the roof, don't you know,
Speaker 2: accidentally shoot your friends and family.
Speaker 3: Well, you don't have lasers with Simply Say.
Speaker 2: But they do have agents that can directly talk to
Speaker 2: the intruder and stop them in their tracks, which is
Speaker 2: really cool. The only garbage I see is your neighbors.
Speaker 4: So while other systems react after break in, simply Safe
Speaker 4: combines live monitoring, proactive protection both outside and inside your home.
Speaker 4: Trust Simply Safe fifty percent off a new simply Safe
Speaker 4: system right now, plus a free indoor security camera when
Speaker 4: you sign up for fast protect monitoring.
Speaker 2: Just visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong. That's simply
Speaker 2: safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the oppressive clock and ah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: can cry them that. I guess I can cram this in.
Speaker 2: I don't want to wait fifteen minutes, or do I? Yes,
Speaker 2: I do, I want to wait.
Speaker 3: Let us know when you do.
Speaker 4: I am having an internal struggle. Clearly I am going
Speaker 4: to kick off the next hour with this analysis. So
Speaker 4: why the Wappo freak out was so severe? I found
Speaker 4: it very interesting and surprising and worth discussing.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 4: The thought leaders, the real influencers in the heavy weight left.
Speaker 2: You don't hear from them directly.
Speaker 4: The people whose names you know, whose faces you recognize
Speaker 4: from TV they're marching orders come from people.
Speaker 2: Who are behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: And this story is about a couple of them and
Speaker 4: the incredible influence they have and how they are. And
Speaker 4: I don't mean to make this sound too like conspiracy,
Speaker 4: mysterious puppet mastery, but it's who the left listens to
Speaker 4: and what they're calling for will shock you.
Speaker 2: What do you think of those fans in the world
Speaker 2: series game, grabbing the ball out of the glove and
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: Did you watch to see that play?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: I happen to be watching it live. What the hell
Speaker 2: I think of them?
Speaker 3: What is wrong with people?
Speaker 2: You can't butt their ass out soon enough? They should
Speaker 2: be banned from all sporting events for the rest of
Speaker 2: their lives. Not that anybody has the power to do that.
Speaker 2: That was so incredibly uncool. I mean, when they were
Speaker 2: like pounding on his arm, what the hell is wrong.
Speaker 4: With you literally pulled the ball out of the guy's
Speaker 4: glove as he struggled to retain his glove.
Speaker 2: They need to be hit with bats draconian. Yes, that's
Speaker 2: what the Impress would have done. Yes, say one of
Speaker 2: the omp parts should have held the guy and said, Mookie,
Speaker 2: go get a bat. We'll give you. We'll give you
Speaker 2: two swings, two good licks. Anyway, we'll talk more about
Speaker 2: the World Series Yankees one. It's now three to one
Speaker 2: and we got Katie's headlines on the way, so stay here.
Speaker 2: We've had some conversations behind the scenes. What did we
Speaker 2: used to talk about Because the election will be over tuesday, well,
Speaker 2: the voting will be over Tuesday. Election won't be over
Speaker 2: for twenty four hours to six months. I'm accounting, But
Speaker 2: then then we'll go back to doing whatever people used
Speaker 2: to do all across America. Does any remember whatever it is?
Speaker 4: Recipes, hunting stories, I don't know, home improvement tips.
Speaker 2: I saw a flyer yesterday Riisin Shine Zumba. Maybe I'll
Speaker 2: do that right right near me where I live. Right now,
Speaker 2: they got riisen Shein Zumba. I'm gonna try goat yoga.
Speaker 2: I mentioned to somebody they have rizins Shhine Zumba near
Speaker 2: my house. I might start doing it, And they said,
Speaker 2: is there any sort of pay per view that I
Speaker 2: could subscribe to to see that? Just out of curiosity?
Speaker 3: Pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 4: If there were like lamb yoga or piglet yoga, would
Speaker 4: that be good enough for you? Or do you insist
Speaker 4: on goat he Oh, piglet for sure. I'm asking the woman.
Speaker 4: You're like the sexist bullies whose wives are afraid to
Speaker 4: vote for Kamala Harris exactly.
Speaker 2: I'm the secrecy of the booth.
Speaker 4: According to that new ad which a lot of people
Speaker 4: are talking about.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, Katie.
Speaker 3: Answer for me, Jack, go for it. Goat yoga is
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 2: You can't have other cute animals infringing on the dominance
Speaker 2: of goat yoga. Wrong, there's puppy yoga.
Speaker 6: There's all different kinds of yoga.
Speaker 2: Really kitting yoga. Again, I suggest piglet yoga. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: I would love that. I would love piglet yoga. Wow,
Speaker 2: bring some plastic sheeting. We have pigs, so it's gross.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, this is pro tip there. All right, So

Speaker 6: how many.
Speaker 3: No, boy, that's going to be one of the themes.
Speaker 2: If it's a super close election and we're arguing for days,
Speaker 2: legal wrangling or whatnot, that's going to be a giant story.
Speaker 2: I'm not looking forward to.
Speaker 4: At the risk of beating this to death, whether it's
Speaker 4: illegals or ballot security or ballot harvesting or mail out
Speaker 4: or whatever, if you do not work to ensure the
Speaker 4: belief of the American people that devoting is legitimate, you
Speaker 4: will have a disaster. That ought to be one of
Speaker 4: our top priorities, including getting illegals to hell off the
Speaker 4: rolls CNN.
Speaker 6: Small number of North Korean troops are already inside Ukraine, according.
Speaker 3: To officials, and fighting.

Speaker 6: defense systems. The Islamic Republic is quote essentially naked.

Speaker 4: I actually have a great feature ed on that and
Speaker 4: some related stories. But yeah, Iran has been exposed as
Speaker 4: a military mouse. Now they're mean terrorist proxies do plenty
Speaker 4: of damage, but around itself it's practically defenseless.

Speaker 6: eight percent pace, slowing slightly ahead of the election.

Speaker 2: faster than ours this year.
