WEBVTT - What Language Do You Need?! 0:00:09.770 --> 0:00:13.580 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.600 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:15.660 --> 0:00:19.939 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:25.090 here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:40.120 Jesus, thank God it's almost over live from Studio C. C, senor. 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.850 A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the 0:00:42.890 --> 0:00:43.590 Armstrong and. 0:00:43.510 --> 0:00:45.010 Getty Communications compound. 0:00:45.090 --> 0:00:49.809 It's actually a polling place, the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.100 So there'll be a lot of people coming in and 0:00:51.140 --> 0:00:52.300 out throughout the day voting. 0:00:53.300 --> 0:00:55.840 And we make them show their ID. Yeah, and then, 0:00:55.860 --> 0:00:56.900 you know, while I'm trying. 0:00:56.740 --> 0:00:58.720 To do this show, I got to, like, check their 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.150 ballots and all that sort of stuff. 0:01:00.190 --> 0:01:00.870 It's kind of annoying. 0:01:00.990 --> 0:01:03.750 Anyway, today we are toiling under the title of the show. 0:01:03.770 --> 0:01:04.890 There is somebody voting right now. 0:01:05.110 --> 0:01:05.350 Yes. 0:01:07.069 --> 0:01:07.309 Yes. 0:01:08.130 --> 0:01:11.720 She doesn't speak English. I have no idea if this 0:01:11.780 --> 0:01:13.700 is a citizen or not. What language do you need 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:14.220 the ballot? 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:20.360 What language do you need? Maybe we should prop that 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.800 door open so it doesn't click open and close like that. 0:01:22.819 --> 0:01:24.200 I don't know what that language is. 0:01:25.060 --> 0:01:25.180 Oh. 0:01:25.220 --> 0:01:29.679 They have no ID. All right. No. Anyway, we're toiling 0:01:29.740 --> 0:01:31.959 under the title of the show today. One title. 0:01:32.020 --> 0:01:36.940 Only one title today. Unifying title. E Pluribus title. This 0:01:37.020 --> 0:01:40.259 is the most important election of this week. 0:01:43.020 --> 0:01:43.810 Am I wrong? 0:01:43.970 --> 0:01:46.470 I guess I should come over by the microphone. Whatever. 0:01:47.230 --> 0:01:47.850 Am I wrong? 0:01:49.300 --> 0:01:52.600 Or did midterms used to not get this much attention? 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.100 I feel like midterms used to come and go. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.000 You barely knew they were happening. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.720 That might overstate it somewhat. But yes, the fever pitch 0:02:02.940 --> 0:02:08.060 of it in the age of hyperbole has definitely boiled 0:02:08.100 --> 0:02:08.590 to the top. 0:02:09.330 --> 0:02:11.570 I have two theories on that. Yeah, go ahead. 0:02:12.620 --> 0:02:15.860 One, of course, Trump drives everything. But the whole, it's 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.720 our national television show. We don't have any other shared experiences. 0:02:20.300 --> 0:02:25.919 This is our national obsession. Politics is our national television show. 0:02:26.460 --> 0:02:27.570 Well, that's part of it. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.240 The other part of it is that it's our identity 0:02:30.300 --> 0:02:33.210 as well as human beings in a way that was 0:02:33.260 --> 0:02:37.190 never true before. As we've reviewed many times, it's worth repeating. 0:02:37.610 --> 0:02:39.070 If you asked somebody. 0:02:39.169 --> 0:02:42.269 Not very long ago, Not very long ago at all. 0:02:42.310 --> 0:02:45.350 We'll say the 90s. Tell me about yourself. Give me 0:02:45.389 --> 0:02:47.010 a list of five things that tells me. 0:02:46.940 --> 0:02:47.690 Who you are. 0:02:48.290 --> 0:02:51.560 Politics might not make the list at all. And if 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.060 it did, it would be number five at best. Now 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.540 it's like number one or two for everybody. 0:02:57.660 --> 0:03:02.419 Damn it. I've been watching the evening news every night 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.139 my whole life. 0:03:04.020 --> 0:03:08.200 And I don't remember every single night the whole episode 0:03:08.260 --> 0:03:13.119 being about midterm elections. ever, I would have not watched 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.040 it because I wouldn't have cared. So I just, I don't, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.740 I don't get it. But I guess you explained it. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:20.480 I care. I care deeply. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.290 Well, also, and again, another factor, my God, I have 0:03:24.330 --> 0:03:28.570 to keep repeating myself. Why am I teaching this remedial class? 0:03:31.650 --> 0:03:36.080 The gulf between the parties, policy-wise, is the widest it's 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:42.610 been since 1861. Vote R, vote D 30 years ago. 0:03:43.070 --> 0:03:46.150 Small tweaks around the edges. A little more emphasis on this. 0:03:46.170 --> 0:03:47.690 A little less emphasis on that. 0:03:47.730 --> 0:03:48.010 Fine. 0:03:48.410 --> 0:03:52.900 Now you've either got grown-ass men showing their genitals to 0:03:52.940 --> 0:03:59.840 your 8-year-old girl and welfare, sex changes for illegal immigrants, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.700 or you've got whatever the hell Trump is at this point. 0:04:04.970 --> 0:04:08.510 So that's the other aspect of it. Oh, you're worried about. 0:04:09.950 --> 0:04:13.930 Grown-ass men showing their genitals to your children? I've got 0:04:13.950 --> 0:04:16.390 a response to that. You have a cell phone in 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.250 your pocket, don't you? Is it a Samsung or is 0:04:18.300 --> 0:04:18.650 it an iPhone? 0:04:19.740 --> 0:04:21.460 We ought to run that again. Look, you're carrying a 0:04:21.500 --> 0:04:22.400 cell phone in your pocket. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:31.320 Abdul Al-Said's bizarre answer to the gender-bending madness question on 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:37.360 60 Minutes, specifically on boys running roughshod over little girls 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:38.520 on sports fields. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.400 You know, one thing that didn't get left out of 0:04:40.580 --> 0:04:44.640 our October surprise, which actually ended up being November surprises 0:04:44.700 --> 0:04:45.419 in a couple of cases. 0:04:47.010 --> 0:04:51.870 That was the surprise. They got you. Oh, October's over. 0:04:52.230 --> 0:04:53.070 No surprises. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.120 And then day one of November, boom. Because we have 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.480 voting month now, which is a terrible idea. Like, half 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.660 the votes in in all the states where they had 0:05:03.700 --> 0:05:04.880 the November surprise. 0:05:04.900 --> 0:05:06.230 It's hard to have an effect. 0:05:06.250 --> 0:05:08.110 And yet it's still going to take weeks to figure out, 0:05:08.170 --> 0:05:10.170 you know, most of the western states for some reason. 0:05:10.230 --> 0:05:15.510 That's worth letting you know is that the last two. 0:05:17.610 --> 0:05:21.210 House races, 24 and 22, took them eight days to 0:05:21.270 --> 0:05:24.030 call who had control of the House. 0:05:24.110 --> 0:05:25.590 So don't be expecting that. 0:05:25.950 --> 0:05:28.289 If you grew up like I did with you always 0:05:28.310 --> 0:05:31.530 had the result that night before you went to bed, 0:05:31.550 --> 0:05:34.370 that ain't going to happen. 0:05:34.390 --> 0:05:35.450 I love the. 0:05:35.390 --> 0:05:40.290 States where they don't open the mail-in ballots until the 0:05:40.330 --> 0:05:40.950 polls close. 0:05:41.290 --> 0:05:45.010 What is the theory on that? What is that? Why 0:05:45.050 --> 0:05:45.670 do you do that? 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.290 Oh, you know, Wanda, the vote's counted and it leaks 0:05:49.390 --> 0:05:53.120 and affecting turnout or something, something. You know, Florida does it. 0:05:53.370 --> 0:05:55.640 The minute they get them, they count them, they tabulate them. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.870 They just don't distribute that information. Works perfectly. Works great. 0:06:00.570 --> 0:06:04.150 States that make you show ID works perfectly, works great. 0:06:04.650 --> 0:06:07.310 States that limit who gets an absentee ballot and you've 0:06:07.330 --> 0:06:09.510 got to reapply for it every two years or whatever 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:15.059 works great, works absolutely perfectly. The idea of election six 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:20.380 weeks where we blanket the landscape with mail-in votes and 0:06:20.420 --> 0:06:25.860 you vote when and where you please, no, that's not healthy. 0:06:26.260 --> 0:06:27.930 For reasons we're going to do a little more later. 0:06:27.950 --> 0:06:28.330 Hmm. 0:06:29.020 --> 0:06:30.580 And not just the logistical stuff. 0:06:30.670 --> 0:06:33.530 It takes a freaking long to figure out who won 0:06:33.550 --> 0:06:36.830 an election and the potential for vote fraud, which is vast. 0:06:37.410 --> 0:06:40.390 It's just, it's not, you. 0:06:40.290 --> 0:06:44.480 Lose the coming together aspect of the election that I 0:06:44.540 --> 0:06:48.920 think is more spiritually important than people realize or contemplate. 0:06:50.310 --> 0:06:53.580 The only interesting thing I've heard today, because I took 0:06:53.620 --> 0:06:56.300 in a lot of broadcast media and all of it 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:03.230 was completely useless election information. And I mean completely useless. 0:07:04.450 --> 0:07:07.330 You couldn't even stretch to pretend that there was any 0:07:07.490 --> 0:07:10.770 value in any of the things they were saying on 0:07:11.010 --> 0:07:11.770 any of the shows. 0:07:12.310 --> 0:07:16.520 No use. So why are you doing it? Don't you 0:07:16.580 --> 0:07:19.350 know it's useless? It's completely useless. 0:07:19.410 --> 0:07:21.990 Anyway, the only interesting thing I came across was Trump 0:07:22.050 --> 0:07:23.930 did go on Hannity yesterday and say at the end 0:07:23.950 --> 0:07:25.870 of the year we're not giving any more military aid 0:07:26.470 --> 0:07:27.390 to Israel. 0:07:27.430 --> 0:07:28.130 That comes to an end. 0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:32.440 Our $ 4 billion annual aid to Israel comes to an end. 0:07:32.740 --> 0:07:35.920 That's an idiotic decision. One in a series. Way to go. 0:07:36.100 --> 0:07:38.640 Netanyahu was for it, if you'll remember, a month or 0:07:38.660 --> 0:07:39.060 so ago. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.440 He thinks in both cases they just think it'd be 0:07:43.500 --> 0:07:46.360 better for Israel politically to To not be getting any 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:51.220 aid so that people can't, you know, do their whole— that' s 0:07:49.860 --> 0:07:50.800 why eggs are expensive. 0:07:51.740 --> 0:07:56.320 All right, so I will extend and revise my comments, Mr. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:56.660 Chairman. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:03.890 That is an incredibly unfortunate— well, it's a perhaps sound decision 0:08:03.950 --> 0:08:09.650 based on an incredibly unfortunate and psychotic state of political affairs. Mm-hmm. 0:08:11.500 --> 0:08:15.140 I think Netanyahu is for it because, well, I just said, 0:08:15.820 --> 0:08:20.000 Israel's in such bad shape in terms of its approval 0:08:20.020 --> 0:08:21.940 in the United States at this point. They don't want 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.780 to be getting any money, so you can't hang that 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:24.160 around them. 0:08:24.780 --> 0:08:25.460 Yeah, yeah. 0:08:25.740 --> 0:08:29.119 You know, this is a disappointing midterm election for Katie 0:08:29.140 --> 0:08:31.020 and me. We were working on a project where we 0:08:31.060 --> 0:08:34.720 would send correspondence to each of the swing states that 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.829 everybody's paying attention to, and we would go to them. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.570 And they would each tell us what everybody already knows. 0:08:42.090 --> 0:08:44.390 And we would go around in the circle to each 0:08:44.470 --> 0:08:47.890 one of them all day long, just over and over again. 0:08:49.370 --> 0:08:52.310 Katie had them coached up on saying gas and diesel 0:08:52.330 --> 0:08:53.910 prices were going to be a big factor. 0:08:53.929 --> 0:08:57.250 There's artwork, to be honest. Oh, it was all, but 0:08:57.270 --> 0:09:02.650 we couldn't get funding. Oh, geez. Really disappointed. Oh my God. 0:09:03.530 --> 0:09:04.670 Oh my God. 0:09:05.450 --> 0:09:10.660 It's just unbelievable. Um, I also think it's interesting that 0:09:12.660 --> 0:09:15.740 I've been watching Mark Halpern's YouTube show. It's like a 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.579 TV show, but it's on YouTube every day. He says 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.990 he doesn't even look at the public polls that everybody 0:09:21.030 --> 0:09:22.809 talks about endlessly. He says, I don't even look at 0:09:22.830 --> 0:09:26.330 them because the private polls are so much better. And 0:09:26.390 --> 0:09:27.670 those are the ones that tell you what's going to 0:09:27.710 --> 0:09:30.310 actually happen. So it's funny that the whole world of 0:09:30.530 --> 0:09:35.080 politics looks at the polls that experts who have better info. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.559 Don't even look at them. What's the point? Right, right. 0:09:38.620 --> 0:09:43.940 My wife actually asked me about that yesterday, or no, today, about, 0:09:45.260 --> 0:09:48.140 you know, the polls show this race dead even, and 0:09:48.179 --> 0:09:49.730 she's not terribly political. 0:09:50.570 --> 0:09:51.090 God bless her. 0:09:52.650 --> 0:09:55.229 And I explained that, look, you've got a fairly significant 0:09:55.270 --> 0:09:58.689 margin for error. You have to overweight every Republican respondee 0:09:58.710 --> 0:09:59.930 because they don't respond as often. 0:10:00.210 --> 0:10:00.810 As Democrats. 0:10:00.830 --> 0:10:02.710 You've got the problem of reaching people on cell phones. 0:10:02.730 --> 0:10:05.390 Their accuracy is declining. And so you've got a couple 0:10:05.410 --> 0:10:09.430 of blobs of... It's within like six or seven points 0:10:09.530 --> 0:10:10.569 of here. 0:10:11.070 --> 0:10:15.220 And then the blobs intersect. And maybe this blob is correct. 0:10:15.270 --> 0:10:18.080 Maybe it's at the far left of that blob and 0:10:18.100 --> 0:10:19.140 the far right of that one. 0:10:19.220 --> 0:10:21.400 And then you can say it's tied. But maybe it's 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.040 at the far right of this one and the far 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.240 left of that one. And they're actually 11 points apart. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:32.290 It's just blobs. So it's fine. It's just blobs. Yeah. 0:10:32.390 --> 0:10:35.210 It's not pinpoints is my point. 0:10:36.850 --> 0:10:42.710 Well, as I mentioned yesterday, the internal polling from the campaigns, 0:10:42.770 --> 0:10:46.410 which is significantly better because they have all the interest 0:10:46.450 --> 0:10:49.500 in the world figuring out exactly who's voting on every 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.980 block and every town, is that everything has been breaking 0:10:54.020 --> 0:10:55.699 toward the Democrats last week or so. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.700 I just read. 0:10:58.460 --> 0:11:03.160 Where late deciders are breaking heavily toward Republicans. So you 0:11:03.179 --> 0:11:07.290 can take your liberal polls and shove them, mister. 0:11:08.170 --> 0:11:10.640 Well, these are from Republicans, these liberal polls here. 0:11:10.860 --> 0:11:14.920 You can take your rhino polls and shove them, mister. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.679 All I will say is Mark Halpern was the only 0:11:18.780 --> 0:11:22.740 person anywhere in America that was actually not just spouting 0:11:22.780 --> 0:11:25.400 his opinion, was actually going with information, who was saying 0:11:25.450 --> 0:11:28.910 before the Trump election, Trump's going to win all the 0:11:28.929 --> 0:11:32.570 swing states. And I don't understand why everybody's not talking 0:11:32.610 --> 0:11:34.790 about this. He said that for weeks leading up to 0:11:34.850 --> 0:11:35.330 the election. 0:11:35.809 --> 0:11:35.949 Wow. 0:11:36.929 --> 0:11:40.130 Because that's what all the internal polling showed. They have 0:11:40.230 --> 0:11:42.229 way better polling than whatever you're looking at in the 0:11:42.250 --> 0:11:46.050 New York Times or, you know, Quinnipiac or whatever. The 0:11:46.070 --> 0:11:49.740 people that make their livings, keep their jobs by figuring 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.920 out what's going to happen, have better polling. 0:11:52.100 --> 0:11:53.580 And their polling this time. 0:11:53.460 --> 0:11:56.320 Around says everything's breaking toward the Democrats at the last minute. 0:11:57.340 --> 0:12:01.160 I'm not comfortable with the term internal polling. Can we 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:06.479 find a different term? I feel threatened by it. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.160 Triggered. Triggered, exactly. I feel triggered, yeah. Or not safe. 0:12:10.260 --> 0:12:12.189 You don't feel safe with that. Right, yeah, you've made 0:12:12.230 --> 0:12:13.929 me feel unsafe. There you go. 0:12:13.950 --> 0:12:16.030 What's worth noting is this is radio, and we're not 0:12:16.050 --> 0:12:20.030 doing lots of video yet on YouTube and other places 0:12:20.150 --> 0:12:25.150 and the socials. I am wearing my F-Yallican Party t-shirt 0:12:25.350 --> 0:12:26.809 in honor of Election Day. 0:12:27.470 --> 0:12:29.620 And I, of course, am wearing an Uncle Sam uniform, 0:12:29.650 --> 0:12:32.010 as I always do on Election Day. Let's start the 0:12:32.050 --> 0:12:33.750 show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:12:33.830 --> 0:12:34.430 He's Joe Getty. 0:12:34.470 --> 0:12:37.290 On this, it is getting to be already Tuesday, November 0:12:37.330 --> 0:12:40.189 the 3rd, the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and 0:12:40.230 --> 0:12:41.170 we approve of this program. 0:12:41.510 --> 0:12:43.770 Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regs. 0:12:43.820 --> 0:12:46.500 Here we go. It's an Election Day special at Mark. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:47.310 You're going to zoom in. 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.520 You're going to zoom in and get up here to 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.439 9321 Triangle Circle. That's what they call it, right around 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.900 Nick and Jack Farms. Everyone knows that Nick and Jack 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.000 Farms has always been Kerry Trump ever since 1884 when 0:12:56.020 --> 0:12:56.320 he only. 0:12:56.260 --> 0:12:56.800 Won 42% of the vote. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.040 We're going to go south. 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:00.100 We're going to head our way south. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.400 We're going to zoom in a little bit. Right there, 0:13:01.420 --> 0:13:03.570 there's a green patch. We call this Elms Country Club. 0:13:03.850 --> 0:13:05.770 Back in the day, Elms Country Club is where, of course, 0:13:05.790 --> 0:13:09.290 Hamilton lost the duel with Washington. Everyone knows this is 0:13:09.309 --> 0:13:11.250 a huge Republican mainstay. We're going to back up a 0:13:11.290 --> 0:13:13.270 little bit. I never stop talking. I always just keep 0:13:13.290 --> 0:13:13.849 moving the map. 0:13:14.510 --> 0:13:16.640 It's going to be a lot of that this afternoon. 0:13:17.290 --> 0:13:19.470 Oh, and that's the short version of that bit. Oh, 0:13:19.510 --> 0:13:21.320 my God, I got tears in my eyes. That is 0:13:21.410 --> 0:13:22.580 so good. You ought to be a lot of that 0:13:22.620 --> 0:13:23.180 this afternoon. 0:13:23.220 --> 0:13:24.660 And if you feel like you get something out of 0:13:24.700 --> 0:13:26.980 people doing that, rather than just waiting to see who won, 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.160 then go ahead and knock yourself out. 0:13:28.820 --> 0:13:31.660 Seriously, we will tell you when, you know, various states 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.300 close and when you're likely to know anything, because there's 0:13:34.340 --> 0:13:36.300 like a third of the populace of the country that 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.000 they won't even be done like midday tomorrow. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.469 They go for days. Right. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:41.400 Really? 0:13:42.070 --> 0:13:42.230 Yes. 0:13:42.250 --> 0:13:42.610 Really? 0:13:42.730 --> 0:13:43.010 Really. 0:13:43.690 --> 0:13:44.970 Katie's headlines next. Stay here. 0:13:46.470 --> 0:13:47.630 Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:47.929 --> 0:13:51.380 A couple of old. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.380 School conservative stalwarts like Peggy Noonan and George Will in 0:13:56.420 --> 0:14:00.099 major publications are sort of embracing slash rooting for a 0:14:00.140 --> 0:14:02.990 bad night for the Republicans tonight with the idea that 0:14:03.010 --> 0:14:08.290 there's an entire remake of the whole conservative movement afoot. 0:14:08.790 --> 0:14:11.219 Let's start over from scratch. I don't know if that's 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:11.630 going to happen. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.449 Well, let's talk about that, and I will ruin it. 0:14:15.750 --> 0:14:18.670 So stay tuned for that. Let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:14:18.710 --> 0:14:20.010 It's Lead Story with Katie Green. 0:14:20.050 --> 0:14:24.610 Katie, hit it. Big shocker. Lead Story. All the alphabet networks. 0:14:24.850 --> 0:14:25.790 The midterms. 0:14:25.850 --> 0:14:29.670 We'll just do CNNs in all caps. America heads to 0:14:29.710 --> 0:14:32.870 the polls. Yeah, that's the way it ought to be. 0:14:32.890 --> 0:14:33.370 Yeah. 0:14:36.090 --> 0:14:36.790 CBS News. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.720 Trump says peace deal still possible with United States as 0:14:41.780 --> 0:14:45.860 United States launches limited strikes on eve of elections. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.400 Yeah, we've been hitting them now and then and not 0:14:49.740 --> 0:14:51.100 announcing it, which is interesting. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.860 Yeah, just kind of lawn mowing forays, as they say, 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.460 just keeping their ability to threaten shipping in our bases 0:14:59.020 --> 0:15:02.040 at bay. Somebody asked Trump the other day, is there 0:15:02.060 --> 0:15:03.380 going to be an attack after the midterm? 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:03.730 He said no. 0:15:05.220 --> 0:15:06.900 I mean, he just stated it, and it's not getting 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.300 much attention. Of course, he says all sorts of stuff. 0:15:10.540 --> 0:15:16.660 From the Washington Post, nearly $ 1. 9 billion traded on midterms 0:15:16.820 --> 0:15:18.460 in booming prediction markets. 0:15:19.060 --> 0:15:21.360 Oh, yeah, the prediction markets are huge on this. We 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:22.220 can tell you where they are. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:28.390 From the New York Times, are freezers being hacked? Europe 0:15:28.530 --> 0:15:31.010 and the United States military investigate. 0:15:31.030 --> 0:15:32.610 What are you going to get out of hacking from 0:15:32.630 --> 0:15:34.690 my freezer? You going to thaw out my meat ahead 0:15:34.710 --> 0:15:34.950 of time? 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.760 No, they're attacking grocery stores, freezers, and fridges all over Europe, 0:15:38.780 --> 0:15:40.350 and they're having to throw away all the food. 0:15:40.370 --> 0:15:40.830 Wow. 0:15:40.870 --> 0:15:41.090 Yeah. 0:15:43.710 --> 0:15:46.490 From the Wall Street Journal, people are using AI for 0:15:46.530 --> 0:15:49.290 divorce advice, and it's driving their lawyers crazy. 0:15:49.310 --> 0:15:56.620 Oh, I'll be darned. I've done that myself. 0:15:56.630 --> 0:16:00.140 Your chatbot doesn't have an interest in dragging it out 0:16:00.220 --> 0:16:01.480 to get more billable hours. 0:16:03.330 --> 0:16:06.690 That's funny. That wasn't the lawyer's take at all. New 0:16:09.090 --> 0:16:09.770 York Post. 0:16:10.390 --> 0:16:14.650 AI-powered glasses could eliminate talking at work, but experts fear 0:16:14.730 --> 0:16:19.100 privacy concerns, quote, you never have to type or speak again. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.580 Oh, that'd be great for human beings. What the F 0:16:22.620 --> 0:16:24.500 are we doing here? I want to talk about that. 0:16:24.540 --> 0:16:26.620 How do you write that headline with a straight face? 0:16:27.980 --> 0:16:29.000 Never have to talk again. 0:16:29.020 --> 0:16:31.700 Great in your brain electrophy. 0:16:33.220 --> 0:16:37.450 What the hell? The monkey that got too smart for 0:16:37.510 --> 0:16:44.790 its own good. Who you calling a monkey? Study finds. 0:16:45.710 --> 0:16:50.080 Study links regular cold showers to 26% fewer sick days. 0:16:50.180 --> 0:16:50.979 Toughen you up. 0:16:55.970 --> 0:16:58.350 It's like the cold plunge thing. I could do a 0:16:58.530 --> 0:17:01.670 chilly shower. The cold plunge ain't happening. I'd have a 0:17:01.670 --> 0:17:02.550 heart attack and die. 0:17:02.570 --> 0:17:04.410 I should talk about that, too. I have a theory. 0:17:05.060 --> 0:17:05.320 All right. 0:17:06.260 --> 0:17:12.060 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Decades of recycling progress undone 0:17:12.180 --> 0:17:17.470 by single midterm election. And it's got a picture with 0:17:17.590 --> 0:17:20.840 all of the Campaign signs all over a lawn. 0:17:20.859 --> 0:17:23.320 Right, exactly. Maybe it was visual. 0:17:23.580 --> 0:17:25.720 We got this text. Quit talking about it. It drives 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.139 me nuts. Do sports talk. Talk about cats, anything, but 0:17:28.180 --> 0:17:30.180 don't dwell on the stuff that you've already determined isn't 0:17:30.220 --> 0:17:31.020 talking about. 0:17:32.380 --> 0:17:35.550 Martha Stewart is apologizing after posting and later deleting a 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.850 photo of herself in a Halloween costume holding a sign 0:17:38.869 --> 0:17:42.760 that read, I am hungry, help me. Amid backlash, the 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.560 lifestyle guru addressed the costume but didn't fully apologize. But 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.389 as the controversy grew, Stewart issued another more direct apology, 0:17:50.510 --> 0:17:51.950 saying in part, it's hard. 0:17:51.810 --> 0:17:53.350 To admit when you've really screwed up. 0:17:53.450 --> 0:17:56.410 She added, wearing a costume like I did was insensitive 0:17:56.590 --> 0:17:57.290 and not funny. 0:17:57.490 --> 0:18:01.429 I am very sorry. Now there's a news story. 0:18:02.830 --> 0:18:05.570 I'm going to demand an apology for the apology. What 0:18:05.590 --> 0:18:06.930 are you apologizing for? 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:11.200 Martha Stewart dresses up as a hobo for Halloween. 0:18:13.260 --> 0:18:16.379 And then people complain because that's what people do. And 0:18:16.420 --> 0:18:22.370 then she apologizes grovingly, grovingingly. We'll give you a few 0:18:22.390 --> 0:18:25.730 minutes to work on that. Yeah, yeah. 0:18:25.850 --> 0:18:29.620 If you're offended, you have power. If you're aggrieved, you 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:30.640 have the floor. 0:18:31.020 --> 0:18:31.720 No, shut up. 0:18:31.740 --> 0:18:34.020 Why do people apologize for this stuff? Do you realize 0:18:34.060 --> 0:18:36.120 how long you have to wait for it to blow over? 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:37.810 Like another five minutes. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.200 Shut up, jackass. That's my apology. Good God, things come 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.810 and go so fast in the modern world. Why does 0:18:44.830 --> 0:18:46.399 anybody react to any of this stuff? 0:18:47.350 --> 0:18:50.609 Again, you got to apologize for the apology now, unless 0:18:50.650 --> 0:18:52.649 you got a couple of hot stock tips for me. 0:18:55.930 --> 0:18:56.430 Thug life. 0:18:57.330 --> 0:19:00.750 We did have the headline from Katie about people who 0:19:00.790 --> 0:19:03.970 take cold showers get sick less. And that sort of 0:19:04.010 --> 0:19:07.510 stuff I've always been interested in. What is the name 0:19:07.609 --> 0:19:12.850 for that when it's, um, I know it's causality versus, uh, 0:19:13.830 --> 0:19:14.629 Whatever the other one is. 0:19:14.970 --> 0:19:15.970 Correlation. Correlation. 0:19:16.390 --> 0:19:18.750 But trying to figure out what other things go with 0:19:18.770 --> 0:19:20.409 that sort of person. So the sort of person that 0:19:20.450 --> 0:19:23.050 takes cold showers to try to be more energetic or 0:19:23.070 --> 0:19:25.290 more of a go-getter is more of a go-getter. And 0:19:25.310 --> 0:19:27.229 they probably go to the gym more often and they 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.919 probably eat healthier and they probably do all kinds of 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.700 other things that makes them less likely to be sick, right? 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.480 I mean, it's just almost guaranteed. The few people I 0:19:35.500 --> 0:19:39.700 know that do cold plunges are also fitness nuts. not 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:40.280 a surprise. 0:19:40.540 --> 0:19:43.300 You're not going to have many cold plunge people who 0:19:43.340 --> 0:19:45.720 take cold showers to give themselves more energy or whatever, 0:19:46.050 --> 0:19:47.970 who also sit around on the couch all day long 0:19:48.010 --> 0:19:48.730 and eat chips. 0:19:49.630 --> 0:19:50.500 It's like, to happen. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.880 I've always liked that. I've always liked that about statistics, 0:19:54.940 --> 0:19:58.020 that sort of thing. Yeah, unless you tease out all 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.820 of that stuff and equalize for A, B, C, D 0:20:00.980 --> 0:20:04.200 through Z, you know, probably it's a meaningless study. 0:20:04.619 --> 0:20:06.650
