WEBVTT - I Didn't Invent It, I'm Just Telling Ya

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Getty arm Strong and Jetty and no he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>This is what we're down to.

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 3>This guy is setting up a fake range in order

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>to get a photo op and he shoots a reporter.

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 3>You look at that picture that he himself released. They

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 3>are shooting ars at steel targets that are ten yards away.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>They had reporters standing down range. They have tannerite downrange.

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 3>It's explosive. I mean if the shrapnel had instead hit

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 3>the explosives, they'd all be dead.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 5>I saw this video as a guy who shoots guns

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 5>like out in the country. Sometimes you can't have people

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 5>standing down there. Why you're shooting your gun? Who was

0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 5>this doing this?

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>That was Josh Holly talking and that was his opponent,

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>whose name is Lucas Kuntz, who shot a reporter accidentally

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>during that photo.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 5>God, and you shoot somebody accidentally, I assume he's not

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 5>very badly heard that would be the story. But yeah,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 5>obviously if you graized somebody, you could have very easily

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 5>killed them.

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>But from Kamala Harris to Old assistant coach Walls to

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Josh Holly's opponent, it's the whole look at me, totin guns.

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm a gun totin guy. Look at me. You can

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>vote for me. It's fine. This guy shoots the.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:39.279
<v Speaker 5>Reporter, Jamine, go stand down there and report on my photo.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 5>Op what No, right behind the target? It's a better angle.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Wow wow wow.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey you may remember it's such a good piece by

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Charles Fain Layman, America's disorder Problem. I think we talked

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>about this during the One More Thing podcast a couple

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, and it's a cousin to the arguments

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>made by the who advocate broken the broken windows policies.

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Ruly to Rudy Giuliani before he went and not it's

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>to the New York City that if you allow broken windows,

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you allow panhandling, h street prostitution, shoplifting. You just you're

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you're permitting lawlessness to grow and grow and grow, and

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you can reimpose order and civilization by cutting down on

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>some of the little stuff.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>It helps a great deal.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, Layman wrote this great piece about America's disorder

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>problem that we discussed at fair length. So I'm not

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>going to recite it completely. But it's everything from litter

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and blasting your your stereo to graffiti throw to women

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>selling sex on the street corner, all sorts of stuff.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And he also gets into the concept of dumbing down

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>or or what was the term he used. I can't

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>find it, lowering and lowering and lowering the bar on

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>what is disorder? And anybody who objects to any of

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>those behaviors that I just mentioned is a racist or

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a they're trying to gentrify or there or right exactly,

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a prude or a karen or what have you. It's

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good piece of journalism and we'll refeature an

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>under hot links at Armstrong and getty dot com. But anyway,

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>so I thought of that when I came across the

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>story of this fella. Hi Remonstrat is his name. He's

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 1>a former New York State senator who I think is

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>running for office again, but he was in AOC's district,

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>which has gone to hell by the standards we were

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>just talking about. There are open air stolen goods markets

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>set up. San Franciscans and Blue Staters will be familiar

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>with this concept. Right there by the subway station, the

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>train station. You got young folks who seem to have

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>an enormous amount of brand new in packaged merchandise that

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>they're selling. Funny, Meanwhile, the drug store down the street

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>is closed or everything's locked up. You can't get in, uh,

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>because there's so much theft. Anyway, you got that, you

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>got hookers on the street, you got panhandling, open drug use,

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah. And this guy's against that, and he

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>went to AOC's district to talk about it. We've got

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>some tape of how that went. Michael will start with

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>five and go from there.

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 6>Alright, alright, so they're shouting down mister monstrat by chanting,

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 6>more chanting, more resources, no more.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Raids against any sort of law enforcement, and more handouts.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's monster out trying to speak.

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 7>We understand that there's a lot of people who have

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 7>misguided youths. We're not stopping. This is all community and

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 7>within a fight.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Fore And that's when they started chanting and yelling, and

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>they said the following, that's.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 7>Why you're running.

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 2>It takes other people.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 7>You're never gonna get a book.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Never everybody.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So he's attempting to walk down the street and they're

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>in his face screaming as loud as they can, a

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 1>number of things, including sex work is work.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 5>Hot dogs are dogs? Our new t shirt at Armstrong

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 5>in geddy dot com.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Not a response to this, but a response to trans

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>women are women.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Tangent on dogs are dogs. It's a tangent. It just

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>reminded me. But sex work is work. Okay, well so

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>is making and selling math. But we decided it's illegal society, hitman.

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 5>Society has decided it's illegal, and uh, we have with prostitution.

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Also in the dirty deeds and or clandestine operations field,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>they call it wet work, which is kind of gross.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Josh, why did you even bring that up? No, no, no,

0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>grow up.

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Killing people, shooting people is called wet work, and you

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>could easily chant wet work is work. Wet work is work.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>A chance is not an argument you chant in dufasis.

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Why did they call it wet work because people bleed?

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it gets gross. I didn't invent it. I'm just

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>telling you.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>So the sex work is work.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 5>Thing of all the things to get enthused about and

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 5>put your time behind, make sure you can street prostitution.

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>One more clip from the Esteemed Gentleman trying to bring

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>order to disorder.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 7>There was a lot of media. There was actually more

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 7>cameras than activists, and the majority of the people they

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 7>weren't even from this community. But I think what's important

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 7>here is that there's obviously a lot of energy, there's anger,

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 7>But the fact of the matter is this Roosevelt Avenue

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.679
<v Speaker 7>has been under a crime wave. It's an urban crime zone,

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 7>and these police officers that we got from the city

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 7>and the state troopers are incredibly necessary to just get

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 7>a handle on the crime in this community, which has

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 7>been unprecedented. We have more bodegas, more brothels than bodegas.

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 7>We have rothels and fun of schools next to churches,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 7>twenty four hours, sex workers walking the streets freely at

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 7>all hours of the day while parents are taking their

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 7>kids to school.

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>It's unacceptable, and this guy is the bad guy who

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>gets screamed at for trying to do something about that.

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 5>I haven't been to New York during the era of

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 5>open prostitution that seems to be going on, so I

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 5>don't know how accurate the New York Post pictures are.

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm sure they go out of their way

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 5>to make them seem as bad as possible, but they

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 5>sure look bad. I mean they look really bad. The

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 5>daytime photos of all these women stand around, you know,

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 5>perfectly populated areas with stores and cars and people and

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 5>everything like that, just in a way that would have

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 5>never happened, not since the seventies anyway.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>And in this story, dudes standing around to have a

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>curiously feminine aspect to their appearance. Anyway, I found the

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>selection of this section of Looking for Dudes quite a

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>few dudes. This last phenomenon, he says, a textbook example

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>of defining deviancy down. As police forces have shrunk in

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the criminal justice system decayed since the Great Recession, our

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>capacity to do something about disorder has eroded. That erosion,

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of course, has been helped along by political efforts to

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 1>hamstring disorder enforcement. But the erosion has also engendered the

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>attempt to define a way disorder as a problem per se.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>If we can't make our cities less disorderly, pretend disorder

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>is not a problem.

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that actually makes sense.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>As a politically, you have to be able to coming

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.079
<v Speaker 1>off as like some old timey englishmen. Is this civilized

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>or is it uncivilized? That's not an unfair question to ask.

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Civilization is cool. It keeps you from getting killed or

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>or afflicted with diseases running rampant in open sewers, for instance.

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Civilization is good wetwork.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>H Look, when I was young, I underwent some government testing.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>They found a certain moral flexibility, and I embarked on

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>an exciting career of unpublicized work for the United States government.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Here you go. That is paraphrasing one.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Of my favorite speeches from a gross, point blank, a

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>hit movie of the late eighties early nineties, John Cusack

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>dan Aykroyd, perhaps dan Akroid's greatest film role.

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, I didn't know. It was terrific in it.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>He's a hit man, He's fantastic. Yeah. So we're twelve

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>days out from the presidential election.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 5>We got some nuggets on that we should pass along

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.839
<v Speaker 5>with you, and including, once again, what is clearly beyond

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 5>a doubt, the closing argument from the Harris campaign. And

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 5>I my concern is that this is building up to

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 5>an oppo drop that we that's really gonna shake people.

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 5>I can't imagine what it would be, but I doubt

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 5>we've seen their best stuff.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you think so.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump actually has hidden away in Trump Tower Hitler's bones

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 1>and he takes them out a few times a year

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and Genuflex before the.

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 5>Or HiT's still alive and he lives in Trump Tower.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 5>It's like, you know, the floor below the pedhouse.

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that would be surprising. Anyway, We got more on

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>that real stuff, not ridiculous stuff like this, this wetwork stuff. Uh,

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 2>stay tuned.

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 8>No Democrat talking about a pathway to citizenship an immigration

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 8>belief and that the benefits that migrants bring to this country.

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 2>But there's no question that migrants bring.

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 3>America is a country that was built in part by

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 3>immigrant people.

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 2>GPS. We're talking about mass deportations. What do you say,

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 2>mat iportations? What's what's you're to stand there?

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 3>We need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 3>a pathway to citizenship.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 5>So that was from the Telemundo interview. And in case

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 5>you didn't follow what was going on there, he was

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 5>asking about all the talk of deportation and you know,

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 5>all the illegals here in pathway decisions citizenship and for

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 5>whatever reason her own brain or this is actually smart politics,

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 5>she will not commit to any of these things.

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>She just won't.

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 5>She wouldn't just say we're not deporting people. She's afraid

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 5>to say it.

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess she doesn't think she'll get elected saying that,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>or she won't she doesn't think she can get elected

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>saying we are going to deport people who are illegally.

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>But she never chooses a path, right, she just doesn't.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>She just has her deflecting.

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Kind of Well, just these broad statements of principle, and

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>we need effective immigration, but is that reform and blah blah,

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that's all she has her talking point.

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 5>But do you think that's her personality or is that

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 5>a political strategy like created by her smart people behind her,

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 5>like unfracking that she won't my values haven't changed.

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, are you for fracking up? My values haven't changed?

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 5>What the F does that mean? So why doesn't she

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 5>just say yes or no on all these things?

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 2>She and her people, who have clearly.

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Come up with a and are tied to a do

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>no harm strategy, just deflect. Just put broad, empty vessel

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>ish principles out there that people can assume you agree

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 1>with them at least to some extent.

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Take us to end on nothing. Well, it's not working.

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 5>The Wall Street Journal pull out today nationally registered voters

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 5>has Trump up by two. If Trump is up by

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 5>two among registered voters, she's down by a three, right,

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.559
<v Speaker 5>because she has to be by three to be even.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Are we assuming an underperformance or an overperformance by Trump?

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Again, we're assuming that things will be the polls.

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're assuming things will be the same as the

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 5>last couple of times around in terms of well, it's

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 5>similar to George Bush. And it's been this way for

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 5>Republicans for a while just because of the way California is,

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 5>in New York is, in a couple of other states,

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 5>you have to win by about three or more as

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 5>a Democrat to win the electoral college. AnyWho, So she's

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 5>behind a couple of points in the electoral college. And

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 5>then this is the most amazing thing. Do you have

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 5>a favorable view of Trump or Harris? Her numbers are

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 5>going down. Trump's are the highest they've ever been.

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 2>That's extraordinary to me. That's that speaks volumes.

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 5>So now, Kamala Harris, the unfavorables are up by our

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 5>She's unfavorable by eight points, fifty three to forty five.

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Unfavorable. Trump for the first time ever has.

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 5>Uh He's at fifty two fifty two approval, forty eight disapproval.

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 5>He's the most popular he's ever been being, which is

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 5>just I'm amazed by that.

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And like, in spite of continuing to be an undisciplined jerk,

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>being very mediocre in the debate, there's I don't think

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>there's much he's done that's that's generated higher positives. It's

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a reaction to the incredibly negative perception

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>of Kamala Harris, honestly, and and people's continued discussed with

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the democratic machinery, including the media. They know when they're

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>being hogged and they don't like it.

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt about that. Well, I've

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>had that reaction.

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't like a lot of the things Trump says

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 5>or do, but when he's when he's treated the way

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 5>he was treated in the debate, when it's you know,

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 5>three on one and they fact check him and not her,

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 5>and their fact checks are lies, Yeah, that pushes you

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 5>into Trump's camp if you're a certain sort of person.

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 5>No doubt about the Wall Street Journal said, because they

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 5>dug into their polls and asking questions, voters are still

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 5>very pissed about inflation, and which is not surprising. Housing

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 5>sales are on track for the worst year since ninety five,

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 5>so almost thirty years. That's that's that's something.

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Not surprised, And those two things are closely tied. You

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>poured trillions of dollars on gasoline of gasoline rather on

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>an already hot economic fire, which caused the sort of

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>rampant inflation to cause the FEDS to not nudge the

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>rates upward but raise them way high to try to

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>cool it down. And that's absolutely key to the understanding

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the housing market.

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>How much time I got, Michael, because this is pretty good.

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Got a minute? Thirty? Okay? Cool?

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 5>A number of strategists think the best ad Trump's got

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 5>running around the country. And I don't see many of

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 5>these political because I don't ever watch commercials on TV.

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 5>But is the one mocking Kamala for wanting to pay

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 5>for trans surgeries for illegals and she hasn't clearly come

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 5>out and said no to that anyway. The Washington Posts

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Megan McCardell, who's a conservative columnist for the WAPPA, she

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 5>hates Trump, but she said, you have to be in

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 5>a pretty thick political bubble not to understand that sex

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 5>reassignment surgery for murderers will strike a lot of people

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 5>as insane. Though it probably isn't an issue that many

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 5>people vote on, it will make them wonder what other

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 5>unpopular interest group agendas Harris might push forward if they

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 5>give her power. And because Harris hasn't given them much

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 5>sense of who she is and what she wants other

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 5>than the presidency, it's hard for them to know where

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 5>she'll draw the line. But that first sentence from a

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 5>WAPPO reporter is pretty true. You'd have to be in

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 5>a pretty thick political bubble not to understand that sex

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 5>reassignment surgery for murders strikes a lot of people as insane.

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>If my neighbor and I are considering buying a vote

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>together and sharing it, and he casually mentions, oh, you

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I do to relax, I like to torture

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:04.719
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood cats.

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>That's got nothing to do with the boat. But I'm

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>not getting in.

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Bed with them right, actually going to do blanking crazy

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.400
<v Speaker 4>For him to say about Project twenty five is disgraceful.

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.400
<v Speaker 4>They know I have nothing to do with it.

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I had no.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Idea what it was. A group of people got together,

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 4>they drew up some conservative values, very conservative values, and

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 4>in some case perhaps they went over the line, perhaps

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 4>they didn't.

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I have no.

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Idea what Project twenty five is, but they use it

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 4>and they know it.

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I am a.

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 5>Fully believe him, because if it was important, he wouldn't

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 5>know about it.

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's not important.

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So the whole Project twenty twenty five thing. And I

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.719
<v Speaker 1>heard old assistant coach Walls just yesterday. I think it

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>was telling people, I'm telling you this Project twenty twenty five.

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He's going to monitor your mistral cycle. You're gonna go

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to jail if you get pregnant. I'm just just ridiculous crap.

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 1>They've made it a big part of the campaign, and

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump is disavowed it, and the whole thing to me

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 1>is just it's like watching a bunch of you know,

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>people are on drugs running around doing inexplicable things.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Heritage Foundation, conservative think tank. This is what think tanks do.

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>They crank out these these massive papers, or in this case,

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.640
<v Speaker 1>groups of papers, nine hundred pages worth of a palette

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>of conservative ideas from fairly mainstream conservative to kind of

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>out there to banning porn, and I mean just all

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>sorts of different stuff, and a fair number of the

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 1>people involved in the Heritage Foundation worked with the Trump

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 1>administration or Trump in one way or another. Okay, that's

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 1>trust me when I say I have no I have

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>no pony in this show. I'm just trying to understand

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it like you are. So anyway, the Democrats are trying

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to tie Trump to Project twenty twenty five. He's saying,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the hell it is. And then this,

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 1>which surprised the hell out of me. This from the

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Journal. As Trump's allies began staffing up the

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Transition Team to lay the groundwork for a potential second term,

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>they drew a line in the sand. Absolutely anyone associated

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>with the Heritage Foundations Project twenty twenty five would be

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 1>barred from working on the team. Even if a brief

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 1>mention of your name in an author's note at the

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>end of a chapter is there. That's enough to prevent

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you from getting a job on the transition team.

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>We won't touch you. Which is a very strange overreaction

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to me.

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think I think you got to do that

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 5>with the election still alive. I mean, after twelve days

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 5>from now, if he wins, sure, but if if you

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 5>had anybody even slightly tied to it, whose name came

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 5>out that they were part of the team forget it?

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh you think so? You think the mainstream media would

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 1>make hay? I mean, obviously they would try. Do you

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>think it would stick at all?

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 5>I can't believe it's stuck that as much as it has.

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 5>I have I have neighbors who have Project twenty twenty

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 5>five read it in their yards.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about?

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 5>Tanks for different policies always come out with this sort

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:17.439
<v Speaker 5>of crap.

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 2>A good job by the Democrats.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 5>It's very clever attaching it to Trump and with the

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 5>help of the mainstream media getting it to stick.

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's good politics, but it's just interesting.

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 5>There've always been wacky liberal think tanks that I don't think.

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, Bill Clinton was necessarily going to follow their dictate,

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 5>as if they get to decide what the president does.

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess the equivalent on the right is the

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 1>various UN commissions have come out with odious plans for

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>global government and universally enforced climate change laws that are

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>imposed on every country around Earth regardless of the will

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of their people. And again, they are odious, they're horrifying,

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>but they'll never happen. So I'm not that concerned about it.

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But okay, so you know what, I think, you're right.

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the moment the election's over, they'll say, well,

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe Smith at Heritage is like the world's foremost expert

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on municipal finance. So yes, yes, he's listed, as he's

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>quoted in Project twenty twenty five. We're not going to

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>be so terrified of him that we won't employ it.

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 5>Right, What is this like eight hundred pages long, so

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 5>it's very very large. Yeah, so you could say I

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 5>don't know anything about the rest of Parjak twenty five,

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 5>but I wrote the piece on getting porn out of

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 5>so kids can't see it. That's my expertise, which I'm

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 5>probably in favor of whatever it is, unless it's against

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:40.919
<v Speaker 5>the First Amendment.

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 2>But you'd have a specific part of it.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 5>It's not like I don't know anything about the stuff

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 5>about taxing single Well, a lot of the stuff you've

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 5>heard about it's not true. First of all, there's all

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 5>kinds of stuff being claimed that twenty twenty five is

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 5>in favor of it.

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just flat out not true. So stiff talking about it,

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 2>but you have to well, that's.

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>The thing, and That's what surprised me so much about

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>this article, And I think by continuing on, which I'm

0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>going to do just for another minute, is reinforcing your argument. Honestly,

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the swift backlash of Project twenty twenty five has left

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of conservative policy wonks on the sidelines as the

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>election nears, and pave the way for the project's biggest competitor,

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a nonprofit run by former Trump administration officials, to play

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a formative role in the official presidential transition operation.

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 5>Right, So they turned to something that you probably find

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 5>significantly more imbortant than Project twenty twenty five if you're

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 5>a lefty exact to staff of their stuff or.

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 2>A coequal or whatever.

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've known plenty of people and read plenty of

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 1>people in plenty of think tanks.

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 2>And some of the stuff they alreadys thought provoking. But

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that's it.

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 1>The establishment of the Transition Team, which is meant to

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>operate as a clearinghouse for Trump's policy plans and personnel picks,

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>hasn't stopped outside groups and Trump associates from jockeying for influence,

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>prompting confusion and firstration from some of the former president's

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>allies who are like dudes. Heritage Foundation offered me a job.

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I took it. I'm the same guy who used to work.

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:12.640
<v Speaker 5>For you, speaking and running for election. George Gascone, who

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.959
<v Speaker 5>wants to stay the district attorney in La County, is

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.119
<v Speaker 5>going to make this a big announcement at one thirty

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 5>LA time today on the Menendez brother's case, which has

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 5>become a giant thing because of the Netflix fat thing

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 5>and documentary and all that.

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 2>This is a campaign stunt. I think it is. Also.

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 5>I think he's going to say they need to stay

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:38.360
<v Speaker 5>in jail to try to seem more normal, to stay.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>In office when he's actually a radical nut job.

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>That's when to get Marxist who wants to bring down

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the system by releasing all the criminals.

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes, correct, back to Trump in the election.

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if things hold the way they are today, we're

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.439
<v Speaker 5>going to know. Well, I'm on the West coast, so

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 5>we're watching this on the West coast, so a lot

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 5>of the poles will have closed East coast side late afternoon,

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 5>like used to happen with presidential elections, they might announce

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Trump as won. I mean that very easily could happen

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 5>if the polls hold up. The way they are right now,

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 5>I am going to I need to buy some more TVs,

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 5>some more DVRs. I need to hire some assistance. I

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 5>don't want to miss a moment of people wringing their hands,

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 5>clutching their pearls and crying on MSNBC and CNN and

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 5>NBC and ABC. I want to watch George Stephanopolish with

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 5>his head on the desk, pounding his little fist.

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to miss a moment of it. Well

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 2>was it.

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to find the note because it was so

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 1>beautiful the way it was written. There it is Marina

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and San Diego wrote us a email and she ends

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>it with the following line. And if we wake up

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>January twenty first and Trump is hitler my bad.

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah yeah, I'll get to that in a second.

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 5>But I want to see I want to Nora O'Donnell

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:57.400
<v Speaker 5>with her hands on her face.

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Ooh, why she didn't look like Nancy Kern. Why. I'm

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 2>just I can't wait for all of it. On the

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 2>if we wake.

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Up, David Muhr will stand mute in his tight black

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 1>T shirt and flex pensively.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 5>If it turns out, you know, come late January Trump

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 5>is hitler my bad. Yeah, on that I am. Joe

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.239
<v Speaker 5>probably agrees, but I'll let you speak for yourself. I

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 5>am fully committed to calling out any crazy s Trump

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 5>does if he gets elected and when he's president, I

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:33.399
<v Speaker 5>have no reason to stick with him. I currently prefer

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:36.159
<v Speaker 5>him to Kamala Harris by a mile, but he is

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 5>pretty mercurial.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So who knows absolutely, and if it costs us something

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:43.439
<v Speaker 1>or everything, that's the way it goes. I mean this

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>sounds either ridiculously naive or a false claim, but I

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>assure you it is not. I am country before candidate,

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and even country before ratings.

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't care.

0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I just I care more about the beloved public than

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:01.959
<v Speaker 1>I do about making more money.

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 2>I was saying about this, Yester, Did you say country

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:08.159
<v Speaker 2>before ratings? I did? Michael, all right, let's not get ridiculous.

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, I am part of a team. I understand that.

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh I came up with the answer to the whole

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Nobody within a mile of Heritage Foundation is going to

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>work here. I should have read the last couple of paragraphs.

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:32.879
<v Speaker 1>It's a pissing match, pardon me, between Heritage and the

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:39.840
<v Speaker 1>America First Policy Institute, which is headed up by Linda McMahon,

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a divorced wife of Vince McMahon of the wrestling who

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>is the former Small.

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Business Administration chief. She's now co chair Tramp's.

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump's Transition team, and so now she wants to tap

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>into her guys as staffers for the Trump administration. And

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they are rivals for or for influence and donor cash.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>There are two of the big dogs now among DC

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:08.439
<v Speaker 1>conservative think tanks.

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, we got to play this one more time just

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>because it's an extraordinary thing. I think the clip that

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 2>we opened the show with today, can you play it

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 2>one more time? This is Tim Walls.

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 5>This is on the whole the closing argument twelve days out,

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 5>thirteen days out yesterday from Walls and Kamala I thanks for.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Many of us.

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.240
<v Speaker 4>The last twenty four hours certainly have been a bit

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 4>shaking with the reporting coming out in the Atlantic Donald

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Trump's dissension into madness.

0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes?

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:46.120
<v Speaker 5>I do, Yes, I do so that is we're all

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:48.960
<v Speaker 5>so used to crazy now after year.

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>TF Oh lord, we have a df and drained fascist

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:56.120
<v Speaker 1>or not day.

0:27:56.280 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 2>That's the worst kind of fascist. I like the first

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of all, Again, things have been so crazy for so long.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Now it kinda is a news story that one candidate

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 2>said the other one's a flat out fascist. I mean,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you go back ten fifteen years, it would have been

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:18.959
<v Speaker 2>insane for Mitt Romney to say Barack Obama's a fascist

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>or vice versa. Just nobody would ever say that.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I am deeply, profoundly ashamed that it's taken to this

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:27.879
<v Speaker 1>moment in the show for me to come up with this.

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I will punch myself in the face repeatedly when we're

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>off the air. The case for Kamala Harris is a

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>communist is much more robust than Donald Trump is a fascist.

0:28:38.640 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And look, Trump has some fascist tendencies because he was

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a CEO and he thinks everybody ought to jump when

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 1>he says jump. Yeah, well grant you that Kamala is

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>a damned comedy.

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 5>I realized some of you screaming at your radio or

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 5>wherever you play this, well, nobody's ever been a fascist before.

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 5>That was one of the candidates, some of you who

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 5>think Trump is a fascist. But I had a point

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 5>to that all but oh so, and then Walls, I

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 5>like walls as a we're all he comes forward to

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 5>the microphones we're all a bit shaken by the recent

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 5>news that shows Donald Trump has descended in Madison, like

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 5>he just read the story like everybody else in the news,

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 5>shocked to find out that Trump had said these things

0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 5>years ago that had already been reported on, and that

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 5>this wasn't some coordinated rollout of the whole fascist, deranged.

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Thing that you've been having meetings on for the last

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. Right, Yeah, okay, assistant Walls, right exactly.

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>And he's a DF as it turns out.

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd rather see a random drawing for president than

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>have you in the office.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Coach, random drawing, not arranged fascist, a deranged fascist.

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Which is, as you say, is the worst guy. Oh no,

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I finished strong.

0:29:54.640 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 8>Next, he was last in Detroit former President Obama campaign

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 8>with Eminem and he recited he recited a few lines

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 8>of lose yourself now.

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Notice my palms are sweating week palms a heaven sweat

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 2>rudders the gunner. That's right, that's right.

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.560
<v Speaker 8>The crowd loved it, while Sasha and Malia were like, well,

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 8>we lost our votes.

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Embarrassed by father. Part of being oh my, part of

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 2>being a teenager slash early twenty something, I guess universal.

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why.

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 5>If I start dancing a little bit in the booth

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 5>at the restaurant to the music, Oh boy, my kids

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 5>are horrified. My son has actually gotten up and left

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 5>and one sight at a different booth before I do.

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's a gesture exactly.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I took pains not to inflict that sort of thing

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>on my kids.

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't help it. I really enjoy it. That's funny.

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Did we decide what we were going to talk about here?

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember. We have not We have two minutes,

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 2>we have one minute, there is another minute talking about

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to talk about.

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 5>I think there's going to be another uh fairly big

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 5>drop of something to try to drive the fascist narrative

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 5>on Trump.

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that'd be my guess. They got an I'm

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>strong and get you.

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 5>They got another one in the holster that's going to

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 5>come out, so be prepared for that.

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I suppose.

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if this is supposed to be an

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 5>October surprise, but the woman that Kamala's husband supposedly slapped

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 5>back in the day has now done an interview, so

0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 5>she is out saying her thing. I don't know, in

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 5>a normal world, Kamala Harris would have to say something

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:07.640
<v Speaker 5>about that, but I don't think she's going to have

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 5>to right right.

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Ah, It's hard to believe that the the pace, the

0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the the purity of the ridiculousness would get any more

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>than it is right now.

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>But we do have a while to go twelve days.

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Desperation has a funny way of unleashing the odd, to say,

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the least, the unfortunate, the soon to be regretted.

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>It's final. Oh I love this one. News so well.

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 8>Your comments and entertain us.

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Closure for the show is that is so good. Here's

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 2>your host for final thought, Getty.

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to wrap up the show. There he is our technical director,

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Michael Angelo, pressing the buttons in there.

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 2>He'll lead us off. Michael. You know Trump likes to

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 2>shock the media.

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 4>He will have another rally and he will come out

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 4>to Hogan's hero's theme.

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 5>Just sit CNN my full uniform, you think, oh my god, no, no, no, no.

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I advise against it. Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman. As

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a final thought, Katie, I just wanted to let you

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>guys know I really appreciated that time in the show

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 1>where we were all standing on one leg like flamingos.

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, timing ourselves to see how health we are. That

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 2>was good. I'm strong like bull. Are you hitting as

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 2>it turns out?

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 4>Jack?

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:39.760
<v Speaker 2>A final thought for us.

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, what I've started doing is reading one of

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 5>my favorite books of all time at night, like literature,

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 5>which is One hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm rewriting it and just like getting away from the

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 5>news and crap during the election and reading something completely unrelated.

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 5>I've found that so incredibly soothing the last week.

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 2>That's funny.

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 1>You should mention that my son with whom I trade

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of tips on art and literature and music

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and that sort of thing, recommended a novel and I've

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>been reading it in the evening and i look forward

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to it like, yeah, like my favorite team is on

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Monday night football or something.

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I've had too. And I think it's

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:22.359
<v Speaker 2>get all excited. I think it's because of the news

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 2>cycle right now, I think, folks, and I'm talking to

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 2>you here. God, we're all worn out, aren't we. Oh

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 2>my god, Holy cal When will it end?

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 5>Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:35.040

<v Speaker 2>I'm Strong and Getty.

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 1>It is the most puzzling, wonderful, rewarding thing I think

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:03.799
<v Speaker 1>we've seen in many, many years.

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.839
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's important to use your voice.

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Even the particular field in particularly, so let's go with

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:11.320
<v Speaker 3>a bang.

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:15.400
<v Speaker 1>It is an effort to terrootivate their core.

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Boy, I don't know that word.

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a terrify and motivate, motivates through terrorist.

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:21.839
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one. You've got to put a little

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 2>TM next to that one. Thank you very much, Armstrong

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and Getty.
