Speaker 2: Arms Me Armstrong and Getty Show live from Studio C,

5
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: a dimly lit room.

6
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: We are tanging. I wrote it down and I can't

7
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: find it. Where did I write it? Bang? Hold on?

8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: We are lethal, precise and mainly surprising. That's what the

9
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Defense Minister of Israel said their attack on Iran was

10
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: going to be like and mainly surprising. That's what we

11
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: strive for it exactly every day. And today we're under

12
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: the tutelage of our General Manager, Ron DeSantis. Okay, the

13
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 1: incredibly effective, competent, strong governor of Florida. Mister get it done,

14
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: mister common sense, you could learn to smile like a

15
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: normal person. You could be president of the United States.

16
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: If America could learn to pull its head out of

17
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: its horse, may it be president of the United States.

18
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm talking to you, America. How was the

19
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: precise part right there? Right and mainly surprising. Must have

20
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: been a translation something or other, right or not? Yeah?

21
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, subtleties of language. Yeah, exactly that is funny, lethal, precise,

22
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: and mainly surprising. Um uh yeah. So the so it

23
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: looks like the hurricane is not going to be a

24
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: giant political issue for the presidential campaign. Would you say

25
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: that's probably correct, not giant. Yeah, I would say that

26
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: is absolutely correct, partly because ironically, Ron DeSantis is such

27
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: a damn good governor, and he says very good at hurricanes. Yeah,

28
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: prepositioning thousands of troops, tens of thousands of utility workers,

29
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: they're just they're there and ready before it is. Now. Granted,

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: the North Carolina situation was weird. Nobody really saw it coming.

31
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: But the sloth of the response to that. You know

32
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: who's not getting hammered is the democratic governor of the

33
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: state old what's his face? Uh? The democratic governor of

34
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: which state? North Carolina? They have a Democrat for a governor? Yeah, yes,

35
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: name is on the tip of my tongue. I'm sorry

36
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: it flitted right out of my head because I'm old

37
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: and senile. But ah, yeah, he's not taking much guff

38
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: there in that purple state. Yeah, that is not the

39
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: precise part. I can't remember things that.

40
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: Was impreciset precise, and above all surprising.

41
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and above all surprising. Ah, that is awesome. Yes, Katie. Uh,

42
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Governor Roy Cooper, there you go, Roy Cooper. That's it.

43
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: He's a moderate. Dam put the horns on him, blame

44
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: him for everything. Sure so. But anyway, so it looks

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: like the hurricane is not going to be a giant

46
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: cluster f that becomes a two week portion of the

47
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: presidential campaign like I thought it might. Not this one.

48
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: But Helene, the true the reality of Helene is not

49
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: fully realized, okay, because the many of the victims, the suffering,

50
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: the dead bodies have yet to be discovered and or

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: reported upon because of the challenges of the terrain. But

52
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have like a family of four

53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: found dead having scratched out a diary on the wall

54
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: saying day eleven and still nothing. I sort of thing

55
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: could happen exactly. Yeah, I hope not. My niece was

56
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: in Orlando, which is kind of if you've never been

57
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: there is kind of in the middle of the state,

58
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: although the state's not very wide, but so inland. But

59
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: she was sending me texts last night. They closed down

60
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the Disney property where she interns, and they all had

61
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: to go up high to their rooms because nobody knew

62
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: how far the how high the water was going to be,

63
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: or how far it went in, and everybody was just

64
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: looking down at the parking lot hoping their cars didn't

65
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: get ruined. But they did have to go to generators.

66
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: At one point, the whole state was ready with generators.

67
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: But like you said, they get hit with hurricanes a lot,

68
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: so one you have very competent government government, and two

69
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: they get hit with hurricanes a lot, so they kind

70
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: of have the infrastructure for it, right which helps. Indeed,

71
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: run to Santis, if we've got some clips from him

72
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: from an interview we're going to play a little bit later.

73
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: But if he if he could smile like a normal

74
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: person and knew where to put his hands, he could

75
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: be president of the United States. Isn't that crazy? I mean,

76
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: isn't that Isn't that amazing? Because if you go back

77
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: pre television, you wouldn't have any idea of that for

78
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: any candidate, right right. And it's a curious thing and

79
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: much disgusted that we place so high an importance on charm,

80
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: kind of telegenic charm. You know, Bill Clinton was the

81
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: earliest reference I can remember to you know, having a

82
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: talk show president, and we relected him because he played

83
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: sax On Arsenio Hall in The Red Right. But the

84
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: trend is continued in that direction. I mean, I'm not

85
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: saying it's completely ridiculous. If you find a guy just

86
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: he's uncomfortably makes you uncomfortable, it's a human reaction. But competence,

87
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: executive competence. The idea that that would be swept aside

88
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: because of a perceived deficit in charmingness is just given

89
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: the stakes. Well, it's suicidal, it's idiot suicidally idiotic or

90
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: idiotically suicidal or both. I don't know. So there's a

91
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: lightly surprising.

92
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of talk about precise and above

93
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: all surprising.

94
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: All surprising exactly right. A lot of talk, of course,

95
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: especially on the left, about it being a climate change

96
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: thing causing these storms to be worse and the evil

97
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Republicans are causing this and that sort of thing. But

98
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: as has been pointed out, you know one place where

99
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: the weather gets worse for it than people liked it before.

100
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Some places it's going to get better, at least briefly, right,

101
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: And beaches in the Yukon full of happy Sunday theres

102
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: have you been seeing the videos of what's happening in

103
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: the Sierra Desert where they've got all this water for

104
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: the first time in at least half a century, just

105
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: light lots of water, not some water, but lots of water,

106
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: lagoons with plants sprouting up where there haven't been any

107
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: in decades and decades and decades, the Sahara Desert, the Sahara. Okay,

108
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: so there's the upside of global warming. Now they got

109
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: lagoons and Sahara and there're gonna be palm trees and

110
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: that'll be your new vacation spot.

111
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: Right.

112
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Your old vacation spot will be come a desert, a

113
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: god forsaken desert, but you'll know vacation spot will be

114
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: the Sahara Desert. Right. We're gonna take a fishing trip,

115
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: me and the boys. We're going to Saudi Arabia. There

116
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: you go. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong,

00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: At Mark. We're a law in order state. We will

122
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: hold looters accountable and people are not gonna get away

123
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: with messing with anyone's property. Just know we're gonna have

124
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement there.

125
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: We're not gonna let the inmates run the asylum on

126
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: the heels of this storm.

127
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: I like that way to go. Ron, Huh, take a

128
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: little ass looter shooters, that's what we need more of, amen,

129
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: I like Milton will be weakening throughout the day. Also

130
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: my plan the usual trend. Yeah, exactly exactly, come on

131
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: strong like a storm and then weaken throughout the day

132
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: to I'll be a tropical depression by bedtime, no doubt

133
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: about it. We also have some not like I hate

134
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: to say the word polling because it makes people grown,

135
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: but like, yes, oh yes it does. Oh how about

136
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: overarching impressions of where the campaign, where the election stands,

137
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: that are very favorable to Donald Trump. Without getting into

138
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: the particular numbers. It's just some of the stuff we

139
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: mentioned the other day, but the behind the scenes, the

140
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: people that see the best polling that's out there, the campaigns.

141
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: Trump's in a pretty good spot right now. And I

142
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it's you know, that's sort of thing

143
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: that can hold for three and a half weeks or not.

144
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: But we'll see three and a half weeks now. That

145
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: gave me hope that soon it will be over, I mean,

146
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: will be on to new madness. Yeah. Well, no, it'll

147
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: be a different brand of madness. It could be much

148
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: worse madness.

149
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: Though.

150
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: I was talking to my son about this yesterday because

151
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: I was listening to this podcast where they're talking about

152
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: how there's some bad news and the internal polls for

153
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris out there, and I said to my son,

154
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I said, this nation is going to lose its effing

155
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: mind if Trump wins. Oh boy, yes, yes it is,

156
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: and he probably will. Yeah, and for a lot of people,

157
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be somewhere between a static

158
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: and cautiously happy. But at least half the country is

159
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: going to go into full despair. As Mark Alprin has

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: been saying, there's going to be a mental health crisis

161
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: in this nation if Trump wins for about half the country,

162
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: and the endless articles you're going to see in the

163
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: Washington Post and the New York Times about you know,

164
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: therapy and school, I said, the school in this town

165
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: will probably call off school the next day. They won't

166
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: make kids go to school the next day, and they'll

167
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: cancel tests at the local university and that sort of

168
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: thing because of the trauma of Trump winning. Honest to god,

169
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: that is going to happen. Come on in China, just

170
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: come on, in exaggerated, I wouldn't be the least been

171
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: shocked if they don't cancel school if Trump wins. One

172
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: hundred percent, right, I mean, I'm just so so horrified

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: by notion. You've you've knocked me backwards. I'm on my heels.

174
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: Oh oh, but you're right. Yeah, it's gonna be so

175
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: crazy to follow. Oh my god, the Atlantic is gonna

176
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: curl up into the fetal position. They won't even be

177
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: able to write their fifty thousand word weep pieces. Oh yeah,

178
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: there'll be just all kinds of articles out there about

179
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: how to deal with your your trauma and fear and

180
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, and the various groups that now need to

181
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, women are gonna have to hunker down and

182
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: the gaze and everything because of the Project twenty twenty

183
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: five whatever they're claiming that is, and everything. Everybody's good,

184
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: the gay marriage will be ending in all these different

185
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: things and just oh, it's gonna be nuts. I'm really,

186
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm really, I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to it.

187
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be yeah in a way. In a way,

188
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: I just say. I still have the T shirt one

189
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: of our beloved listeners made for me in twenty sixteen

190
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: when Trump was running against Hillary and it was just

191
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: so ugly and dumb and there was so much just

192
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: just stupidity, and I said, candidate, my candidates are chaos

193
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: and ugliness. I'm just really enjoying the chaos and ugliness.

194
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: And then little did I know, the gods heard me

195
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: and said, oh, you want chaos and ugliness, boy, and

196
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: they delivered and how and so yes, there is part

197
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: of me that is really looking forward to that absolute

198
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: torrential pants wedding that is going to take place on

199
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: the left. But there's a part of me that thinks, oh,

200
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: this is just going to be a new brand of ugly.

201
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: I can picture the opinion piece in the New York Times,

202
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,120

00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480

Speaker 1: four one.

00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: Weeks, precise and above all surprising.

00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: There you go, text line four one five two nine

216
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:24,880

Speaker 1: And there is a way to help. They do need help,

219
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: and we're going to tell you about that a little

220
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: bit later this hour someplace. If you're if you're watching

221
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: that stuff on TV and thinking, God, those poor people,

222
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: will throw a couple of bucks away and we'll tell

223
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: you how coming up. Yeah. Absolutely, just saw where Taylor

00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Swift donated five million dollars to hurricane relief. Wow. Taylor

225
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Swift to Jack is constantly kicking out of some bizarre

226
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: love hate lusts. What tornado of ugliness. I'm team t

227
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assessment. Ah here, here's your

228
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: freedom loving quote of the day. Let's go with uh wow,

229
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: this one's just this one. I don't like it. I

230
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: don't want to read it. I would prefer not to

231
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: read this one. Okay from H. Jackson Brown Junior, whose

232
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: work I do not know, but I've seen this quote before.

233
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly

234
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the same number of hours per day that were given

235
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: to Helen Keller, pastor, Michelangelo, mother, Teresa Leonardo Da Vinci,

236
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. I wish you hadn't read that. Well,

237
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: and come on, now, come on now, they were all

238
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: raising kids. Mclangelo, he is a gay fella for for one, right?

239
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: Is that what they think? I don't know that Einstein.

240
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: It's not like he was going home early to do

241
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: the dishes. You're standing there scratching his fuzzy head doing

242
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: math on the jokboard. So your argument is, I'm busy.

243
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: You would have cracked the code on relativity if you

244
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: didn't have kids to raise. That's your argument. Well, yeah, plus,

245
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: you know my golf game is safe. You know needs maintenance.

246
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I thought that when I was listening to the Elon

247
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: Musk podcast the other day. It's just how does he

248
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: freaking do so many different things all day, every day.

249
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I just it's just astounding to me that some people

250
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: are built like that. I've always, i think everybody has been,

251
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: since childhood, astounded and amazed by the Helen Keller story.

252
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how she learned and achieved and the people

253
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: who helped her get there. Uh yeah, what a what

254
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: a touching and miraculous story of human love and tenacity.

255
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they teach this to kids anymore,

256
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: but uh oh they probably don't. Helen Helen Keller was

257
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: born deaf and blind, yet somehow figured out a way

258
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: to communicate. Yeah, learn maybe a brilliant communicator. Yeah, just astounding.

259
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well, now they just you know, concentrate on

260
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: whether she was transgender or not, or or she she

261
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: was a white woman. She was the oppressor, so she

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: probably took resources away from BIPOC people anyway. Mailbag drop

Speaker 1: and getty dot com. Thanks Aaron. Let's see Martin in

281
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Why do we persist in calling people liberals

282
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: when they want to shut down free speech, takeaway guns,

283
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: neuter the Supreme Court, and tax the s out of us.

284
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's call them what they are, ohpressers. There's a lot

285
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: of mislabeling in politics, but I see your point. Bill

286
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Nye blows harder than Milton Right, Steve from Everett, Washington. Wow,

287
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: I was watching HIMSNBC when Bill Nye, the insufferable guy,

288
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: blame the recent hurricanes on climate change and by extension,

289
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: anyone who votes republic Oh my god. Last year China

290
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: counted for ninety five percent of the world's new coldplower

291
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: power plant generation. US hasn't built a new cold power plants.

292
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: It's twenty thirteen. I used to work in Shanghai when

293
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: the air was orange and smelled like plastic changes. Truly

294
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: an existential threat, as Bill and I willing to go

295
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: to war with China over it. Not maybe you should

296
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: shut the hell up. He blows harder than the hurricane. Milton. Wow.

297
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: If you want more of these hurricanes, vote Republican. Yeah,

298
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: that's a fair much more mail bag to come. We'll

Speaker 1: stuff to get and how to help out with the hurricanes.

301
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: We got all that coming. Armstrong and Getty Boles announced

302
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: that it will offer discounted burritos to customers and Costume

303

Speaker 1: we've got an update on how that's going in just

308
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: a moment. But first, have you ever heard of the

309
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: waffle house index? No? It is Seriously, people judge the

310
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: seriousness of a weather disaster by how many waffle houses close.

311
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Houses close, and and you know, if a bunch of

312
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: waffle houses have closed, it's going to be really, really bad. Interesting.

313
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I have eaten at more waffle homes than anybody on

314
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: the show, I'm certain, from my drinking days living in

315
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: the South, I have spent many a late night early

316
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: morning in a waffle house. They are their own cultural thing.

317
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: But that's interesting. So if the waffle if a bunch

318
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: of waffle houses closed, that means that s is getting real, right,

319
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: because otherwise they're always open. As ask any you know,

320
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: late night drunk, prostitute, tweaker, whatever, but perhaps just a

321
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: hungry bar patron I found themselves in need of calories,

322
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: pursuing that always enjoyable fourth meal of the day. Yes,

323
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: after a lovely evening of I don't know, talk, conality, conviviality,

324
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: and spirits right right, I believe you're about to launch

325
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: into a note about how folks can help. Yeah, most

326
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: of the waffle homes i've been to have been in

327
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: North Carolina when we used to live there, and I

328
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: am pretty familiar with the Asheville area actually, and my man,

329
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: that county is hurting right now, as you've seen on

330
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: television and probably seen on a lot of social media.

331
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: And so we wanted to And then there's this talk

332
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: of FEMA being out of money and how the federal

333
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: responses ben super super slow. We're big on the idea

334
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: of local and smaller is better than big and far away,

335
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: and that's why we wanted to try to figure out

336
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: what would be a good organization closer on the ground

337
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: that you could donate to. Yeah, and so we're teaming

338
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: up with the United Way right there in that area.

339
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: Just go to Armstrong egeddy dot com. There's a big banner,

340
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you can't miss it, just right the first thing you

341
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: get to on the page, and you know, kicking ten,

342
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: twenty bucks, a hundred bucks, whatever you have, whatever you

343
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: think is appropriate to help your fellow Americans were suffering

344
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: like crazy, and for what it's worth, my aunt and

345
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: uncle lived in the next county over, and at the

346
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: bottom of the United Way page they have a link

347
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: to other counties in the area. If you want to

348
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: help us Pacific area because they all need help. So anyway,

349
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: do your part if you can so. A smart person

350
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: put this up regarding Milton, which landed on Florida yesterday

351
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: late yesterday. Florida has had one hundred and twenty five

352
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: hurricanes since eighteen fifty one, including one in nineteen twenty

353
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: six which destroyed Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Didn't know that,

354
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Sorry about the flim got all Bernie Sanders there for

355
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: a second, Sorry about it was terrible. That was disgusting.

356
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. What were you saying? Your words were

357
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: there lost? I'm sorry it was The sentence was so wet.

358
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: He couldn't understand. What is a hurricane? Please? Florida has

359
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: said one hundred and twenty five hurricanes since eighteen fifty one,

360
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: including one in nineteen twenty six, one hundred years ago

361
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: which destroyed Miami and Fort Lauderdale, but experts say the

362
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: last few Florida hurricanes are your fault, and twenty five

363
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: in the last one hundred and fifty years, including one

364
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: which wiped out two and tired the two biggest cities

365
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: in the state. But the last couple of yearfold so

366
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Hurricane Milton tore the roof off Tropicana Field where the

367
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: Rays play, I believe, well more importantly, they had turned

368
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: it into a place you could go for shelter if

369
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: you were worried about the hurricane. And then the roof

370
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: gets torn off. That doesn't make you feel very sheltered,

371
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: including first responders. Yeah, there are lots and lots of

372
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: first responders there. But slammed a tower crane into downtown

373
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: Tampa buildings, spun up tornadoes that killed people on the

374
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: opposite coast while cutting a destructive path against central Florida.

375
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: They're just beginning to reckon with the damage and the

376
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: loss of life as we speak on Thursday morning. The

377
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: heavily populated Tampa Bay area appears to have escaped that

378
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: devastating storm surge because of a fairly small jog to

379
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: the south, but the Barrier Islands along the Gulf coast

380
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: reported heavy flooding, and again inland and on the opposite coast,

381
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: there were at least one hundred and sixteen tornadoes spun

382
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: up by the herd one hundred and sixteen tornadoes. Wow. Yeah,

383
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Sighted documented tornadoes. So and you know the usual sort

384
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: of damage, uprooting trees, stripping the sides off buildings, tossing

385
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: yachts onto the waterfront. Tossed yachts is my new yacht

386
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: rock band. Wow, that's pretty cool. A lot of Michael McDonald's.

387
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: He's going to be upside down, yacht is going to

388
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: be our you know, it's probably not the right time

389
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: for mirth. Let's go to let's go to that bar

390
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: that's on the water. Tossed yacht is playing tonight. Oh,

391
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: they're fantastic. About three and a half million customers without

392
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: power in Florida, and again they're just reckoning with the damage.

393
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: So but the bit have to see. The biggest headline

394
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: if you don't live there is it wasn't the worst

395
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: case scenario that was feared, either from a horror standpoint

396
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: or what it was going to do to the presidential

397
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: election standpoint. Correct. I didn't get the four feet surge

398
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: that wiped Tampa off the map, although I'm looking up

399
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: at TV and seeing one of those scenes where you

400
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: got somebody in a boat and then they pull out

401
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: and you realize it's like a town. It's a street

402
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: in a neighborhood there, cruising around on a boat with

403
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: the motor Yeah, craziness. Anyway, if you voted Republican, it's

404
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: your fault. According to Bill Nye, the Insufferable Guy on MSNBC.

405
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: A couple of follow ups. Very briefly, the flap we

406
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday at several points throughout the show is

407
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: developments developed the CBS news controversy, wherein a journalist actually

408
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: asked journalists to questions to a progressive saint and was

409
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: pilloried for it, and CBS is roiled by woke staffers

410
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: weeping and tearing at their garments that anybody dared ask

411
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: any journalistic questions. More and more folks are commenting on that,

412
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: and on the right side of the issue. It's gratifying.

413
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: It might be a small victory in a you know,

414
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: a hurricane of woke, terrible journalism, but it's good to

415
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: see the good guys in this story are getting some support.

416
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: So we'll have more on that to come. Fantastic Trump

417
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: is in the I heard this term for the first

418
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: time this morning. Bent metal states, bent steel states, steel benders.

419
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: That's it. Steel Benders. He's visiting the steel benders today.

420
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Had you heard that term before, sir, And they mean

421
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: Michigan and Pennsylvania. So if you hear the steel benders,

422
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: that's what they're talking about, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which might

423
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: be key to the whole damned election, and Trump's visiting

424
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: there today. In the latest internal polls apparently show Trump

425
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: pretty good shape in both, there's a decent chance that

426
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: election night, it's gonna be obvious early that Trump has won.

427
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: If North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, for instance, go for Trump,

428
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: you might be able to go to bed early, very

429
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: very solid that it's over based on the latest polling

430
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: that's coming out. But steel Benders, and if they're all

431
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: like seven votes apart, you'll have to stay up for days. Yeah,

432
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: it could last six months. How many clever nicknames do

433
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: we need for these states? Bell Sun, Industrial Media, upper Yes,

434
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: blue Wall. Why don't you just say Michigan, Pennsylvania. It

435
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: takes like half a second. That's an excellent point. Steel Bender,

436
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the steel Bender state. It's also known as the rust Belt,

437
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: also known as the you know, bread basket of the Midwest,

438
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: also known as the whatever Okay, the Nobel Prize in

439
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Literature was awarded to a South Korean author I had

440
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: never heard of, called Han Kang. Every year I read

441
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: a book from whoever wins the Nobel Prize for Literature,

442
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: and I have never been disappointed, even though I think

443
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: they're often chosen for political reasons. For instance, here they

444
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: say her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas, okay,

445
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: always has to be historical. You know what I like

446
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: to hear from the Nobel Literature committee sometime is we

447
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: chose this person because we thought their writing was the best.

448
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: Is that what it's supposed to be? As opposed to

449
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: me said my question, Because I happen to read something

450
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: about this gallon or her writing, is I assume she

451
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: writes in Korean? And how good is the translation? I mean, well,

452
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: if you were too, I mean that's almost always the case.

453
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: All right, well sure, yeah, but I mean, and obviously

454
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: we don't do a literary show, but the translator has

455
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: to be like equal the artists to the author. Yes,

456
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: if there are use the languages is creative. I could

457
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: really bore people on this because I have spent so

458
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: much time, like if I'm going to read. Recently, I

459
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: read some what did I get into? One of your

460
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: Russian authors, Anton Chekhov. You have to do some research

461
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: on which of the translations you want to read, which

462
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: ones are respected for whichever reasons, because it makes a

463
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: very very big difference. And there are websites now that

464
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: you can go to where you can look at several

465
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: translations side by side, one paragraph and figure out which

466
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: one you like better, whatever style you like. But yeah,

467
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: that's a very big part of it for anything that's

468
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: not written in English. Tomorrow, though. The reason I brought

469
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: up the Nobel thing at all is the stupidest prize

470
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: of all that is always fun and it makes you

471
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: angry sort of way. The Nobel Peace Prize comes out tomorrow,

472
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: which is almost always dumb, like really really freaking dumb.

473
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: Give it to Joe Biden, Mister, we don't want to escalate,

474
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: don't Did credit Tunberg win or did she was just

475
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: on the short list. I think last year was a

476
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: hoping she was on. She didn't actually ever win, did she?

477
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I couldn't tell you. It's so absurd.

478
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Every year I just snicker at it and move on

479
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: with my life. An annoying little girl with the mask on,

480
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: screaming about climate change. Yeah, I don't think you're her. Yeah, well,

481
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: how she's screaming about Israel. I don't think she ever

482
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: ought Joe Biden. That'd be a good one, that rank

483
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: right up there. Yeah, well, I heard Douglas Murray Unlesia screed,

484
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: the great British historian, writer, who is talking about this

485
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: several times in the fairly recent past, where American leadership

486
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: has convinced the Israelis, do not take out the leaders

487
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: of these movements that are trying to wipe you off

488
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the earth. Don't escalate, negotiate, which brought them to October seventh,

489
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: and Murray was making the point that not defeating your

490
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: sword enemies, and these people are that they're not what

491
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: the college kids are telling you. They're simply resisting the

492
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: colonial low presser. No, they hate Jews. There is Lamists.

493
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: They want to wipe everybody but Islam off the face

494
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: of the earth and take over every inch of territory. Anyway,

495
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: Murray was making the point that by not defeating your enemies,

496
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: you sentence yourself to endless war. You want to get

497
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: you don't like, for course, quote unquote forever wars, defeat

498
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: your enemy? Yeah. Has there ever been a time in

499
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: world history where if you were a if you were

500
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: powerful enough to defeat your enemy, and your enemy was saying,

501
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: the only reason we exist is to kill you all,

502
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: And we mean all of you. We mean mom's children, dads, everyone.

503
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: We don't mean just defeat you in battle. We want

504
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: you all dead. Has there that they're claiming it? They're

505
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: doing it every chance. Has there been a time in

506
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: a world history that a state, country, village, or whatever

507
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have wiped those people out if they could. No,

508
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: there has not been thereby ensuring the peace. Yes, uh, yeah,

509
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: that's a good one. One more thing we'll get to later.

510
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Inflation is cooling more slowly than expected. Brand new numbers

511
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: that have come out actually in the last couple of hours.

512
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: That's the Wall Street Journal headline, which is different than

513
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: the New York Times headline. But inflation is cooling more

514
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: slowly than expected. Okay, we'll see what that means. We've

515
00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: got Katie's headlines on the way. Stay with us. Brooks

Speaker 1: coming back hard against that woman accusing him of rape.

517
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. The lawyers are warring with each other

518
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: with various releases. I have to talk about that later.

519
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'm stealing one of your

520
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: headlines or not, Katie, But from the New York Times,

521
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: Republicans appear poised to take control of the Senate. Not

522
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: could basically saying, nat looks like what's going to happen.

523
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: From the New York Times a month out, Republicans been

524
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: poised to take control of the Senate. So no matter

525
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: who's president, it looks like the Republicans will have the Senate. Okay, well,

526
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: that's great. That'll put a break on the most insane

527
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: insanities of the left at the very least. We'll find

528
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: out so much to talk about today, Let's figure out

529
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: Katie talked to us NBC News.

Speaker 1: Yep, fantastic, good good news.

534
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 4: From the New York Times, inflation cools slightly. Consumer prices

535
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: rose two point four percent in the year through September,

536
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: less of a slowdown than economists had expected.

537
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, whyever that means I don't know, you guessed

538
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: and you guessed wrong, So does that make it worse?

539
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: The numbers, the number whatever, and it's close ish, yeah, right,

540
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: all right?

541
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: What else CBS Biden speaks with Netan Yahoo as Israeli

00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: Prime Minister Warne's war with Iran proxies could spread Gaza's

543
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: misery to Lebanon.

544
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: I wonder how that conversation was. We probably won't know

545
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: for years for real, what it was like. I don't

546
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: know how much Biden is actually willing to go along

547
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: with whatever Israel wants to do, right, and the United

548
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: States is completely essentially necessary for Israel and its defense.

549
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: At the same time, I gotta believe net Yahoo, who

550
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: is sharp, a hard ass, and in the midst of

551
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: an existential struggle, it's like, oh my god, I got

552
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: to talk to that dreamy old senile man again.

553

Speaker 4: Right from the Washington Post, the Dodgers reached deep into

554
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,400

555
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 4: eight relievers in another home run from Mookie Betts to

556
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 4: beat the Padres in Game four.

557
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: So it's two two, eight relievers eight early. Wow, that

558
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,720

Speaker 1: Did he I missed that? Well, his his people did.

562
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: I think, Ah, yeah, the big thing is now they've

563
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 4: publicly named a rape victim, but all of the news

564
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: reports are staying away from using her name.

565
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: Obviously. It's a tough one. That's a tough one. I

566
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I can understand why that's not cool if

567
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: somebody was raped, because then you're like doubly a victim.

568
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:59,600

Speaker 1: if something's real or not, or any trend. You never

584
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: can tell if it's like three people or if it's

585
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,080
