Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arms Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
The last debate between Kamala and Trump, ABC got heat
for live fact checking the whole dogs and cats thing,
so tonight CBS took a different approach.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
CBS says there will be no live fact checking by
the moderators, but the broadcast will feature a QR code
on the screen, which will link to a real time
fact check being done by CBS journalists.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, a QR code perfect journalism. When a candidate tells
a lie, why correct it for the fifty million people
watching live, just have a link for the twelve nerds who.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Bother scanning it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Am I supposed to be impressed if they.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Have a QR code. We even have one right here. Yeah,
it's just it's just a menu.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
For a Mexican restaurant I went to during the pandemic.
But still you can scan this if you want.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's interesting that that's his take. That's the problem. Of course,
lefties believe this because the fact checks always go their direction,
that there can be such a thing as fact checking.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Clearly, there cannot just it's not a doable thing.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's a dressing my opinion up as a fact check.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Right, and you only fact check one side, and you
only fact check when it's a handy Yes, Michael.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What do you think about using the QR code?
Speaker 6 (01:37):
That's actually why I pulled that was I just thought
it was a strange way of doing things.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's an interesting idea, I must say.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's a different way to access a completely biased so
called fact check.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's just opinion.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I'll bet it becomes a thing, though not for this,
but like football games will say, hey, if you'd like
to see real time stats or blah blah blah, you know,
here's a QR code. You hit on it and you
go to the website. They get on the website they're
excited about. So we're talking a little bit about the
debate last night, which Joe things mattered. I didn't think
it did, and other people are in between. So looking
(02:10):
at the Washington Post pundits on the opinion page, here's
some of the headlines. I didn't actually read their pieces
at debate. Vance whines you weren't supposed to fact check me?
By Dana Milbank that's whining. If they announced they're not
going to fact check, and then they start fact checking
you and not the other guy, it's whining to point
(02:31):
that out.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah, well, thanks Dana for that nugget you. It's an
unfortunate term for less than masculine man. E. J.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Deonn of The Washington Post writes Vance's debate performance was
a breathtaking exercise insane washing.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Right, Yeah, I saw Van Jones using that term sane washing,
where he comes off as a sane and reasonable fellow
expressing the horrific policies of Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, you know what, the interesting thing about JD. Vance is,
if you've actually been following his career, he is sane
and smart. He was crazy washing, maga washing his reasonableness
over these last couple of years when he realized, don't
you think when he realized which direction the wind was
bowling politically the last night him was more of the
(03:18):
real hymn than the maga him.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, beyond question.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Dan Balls wrote in The Washington Post, we had him
on when we were in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wasn't that exciting?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Vice presidential debates rarely matter much in presidential campaigns this
one may matter less than ever, not because of what
was said or not said, but because events have suddenly
interceded in the ways. It could affect the election in
the closing weeks much more than what's happening on stage.
And that is a thing I read from another pundit
that like, you got Iran an Israel going to war,
(03:50):
you got this doc strike that if it drags on,
is going to become a giant political issue.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And then the.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Handling of the hurricane, which is not done yet, which
are just are bigger things yesterday, probably politically than anything
jd Vance or Walls could say.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah, I would say definitely the dock worker thing in
Israel are going to be more significant. I disagree with
the confessional wisdom. I think there's so much concern with
both of the top of the ticket candidates that people
will let something like well that Veep seems a lot
more steady than the other VIEP affect their vote in
(04:32):
the way that's unprecedented. You can believe me, or you
can believe the people who told you there's zero chance
Joe Biden drops out. Having said that smugly and really
enjoying it, to.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The debate proper.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I thought this stuff on the economy was pretty good,
and that was definitely the case that Trump advance must
press and that Donald is thus far floundered terribly at
pressing it. I love this. I think this is the
right answer, Tim Walls, I tell you, why don't we
go ahead and play sixty one and then we'll get
(05:07):
to my favorite sixty three.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
My pro tip of the day is this.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
If you need heart surgery, listen to the people at
the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Not Donald Trump, Governor. You say, trust the experts.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
But those same experts for forty years said that if
we shipped our manufacturing base.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Off to China, we'd get cheaper goods. They lied about that.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
They said if we shipped our industrial base off to
other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the
middle class stronger.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
They were wrong about that. They were wrong.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
About the idea that if we made America less self reliant,
less productive in our own nation, that would somehow make
us better off.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And they were wrong about it.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump
had the wisdom and the courage to say, to that
bipartisan consensus, we're not doing it anymore.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Speaking of smugly annoying arguments, you get that from the
left a lot. You need to trust that, you need
to ask the experts, trust the science. I believe in science,
and then they pick these three people out of ten
that happen to agree with them and pretend that that's
the only quote unquote experts that ought to be consulted.
But then JD I thought, really laid the wood to
that question in sixty three, Michael.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
If you notice what Governor Waltz just did is he said,
first of all, Donald Trump has to listen to the experts,
and then when he acknowledged that the experts screwed up,
he said, well, Donald Trump didn't do nearly as good
of a job as this, that's general as he did.
So what Tim Waltz is doing. And I honestly, Tim,
I think you got a tough job here because you've
got to.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Play whack a mole.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising
take home pay, which.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Of course he did.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation,
which of course he did. And then you've simultaneously got
to defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record, which has made gas,
groceries and housing unaffordable fair American citizens.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I was raised by a woman who would.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Sometimes go into medical debt so that she could put
food on the.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Table in our household.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
I know what it's like to not be able to
afford the things that you need to afford.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We can do so much better to all of you watching.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
We can get back to in America that's affordable again.
We just got to get back to common sense economic principles.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They all leaves park, touch them all. Yeah, that's some
good vegetable eating right there. We got some dessert coming
up here in a second. But I like it's I
hate to admit that this is true, but policy debates
are not as much fun as a name calling.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Name calling is more fun. It's easier to watch.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Wow, Wow, I am a serious man, folks. Can you
imagine my frustration working in this clown factory?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's like being stuffed clo. Can I get a second
take on that? What was I going to say?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It reminded me of something, that thing dessert And this
came up after the Trump Haaris debate. All statistics mean
nothing to me. These debates because they regularly turn out
to be either completely the opposite of what's happening, or
cherry picked or massaged. I mean, maybe the best thing
(08:11):
Mark Twain ever said was the whole three kinds of lies, lies,
damned lies, and statistics, because you can make statistics be anything.
And that's why even if there's stuff I like hearing
about how are this lowered it eight thousand and six
thousand up and forty percent, it's just eh, maybe maybe not.
I need I need a philosophy. I need to hear
(08:31):
the philosophy that that I can buy into. You know,
I believe rent control doesn't work, so like, if that's
a philosophy, I can hang on to that. You say
it doesn't work, you say it does, you're wrong, you're right.
But when you start getting into percentages and dollars and
stuff like that, they're so easy to massage. And the
perfect example is Kamala Harris brought it up in the
(08:51):
last debate about how they lowered the price of insulin
from five hundred dollars to thirty dollars or whatever the
heck it was she threw out there, and I thought, Wow,
that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I guess I don't know think about it anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I heard a somebody who knows about it run it
down the next day, and it was a situation where
there was like, there's like six people in America paying
that original price, and the applied to almost nobody because everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Qualifies for other plans.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
So it was just it was a completely meaningless thing,
and he got thrown out again.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Walls mentioned it again last night, the whole insulin thing
coming down.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But nobody you talk about fact checking, nobody ever digs
into that stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Really, I can't believe any moderator ever lets anybody get
away with well, I guess it'd be Democrats, but we
created more job any advance. Well, well, well there's a
freaking global pandemic and you shut down the businesses you
can't get credit for when they opened again, next question,
(09:53):
I know it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, you talk about a fact check, and they did
that on the Trump debate too. Let him get away
with claiming that they create we hated jobs when we
started letting people go back to work. It is absolutely amazing. Okay, So,
like I said, you got through the vegetables.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Here's you desert.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Because I really enjoy this this is probably not important
other than let's stretch out, let's do it all. I
love this too. It shows him to be kind of
a nut. So here's this original claim about being in
China during the big upheaval there in China in eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
When did you live in China about late eighties?
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Okay, so you know I was there. I see this
happening in Hong Kong. As a more serious note, I
was in Hong Kong on June fourth, nineteen eighty nine, when,
of course Tianneman Square appened. Then I was in China
after that. It was very strange because of course all
outside transmissions were blocked Voice of America and of course
there was no phones or email or anything, so I
(10:48):
was kind of out of touch. It took me a
month to know the Berlin Wall had fallen when I
was living there.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, it seems like a lot of specifics there. I
don't know why he was claiming it in the I
guess it just sounds exciting.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
To their credit.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
After all the complaining we've done about the biased moderators,
Margaret Brennan brought it up and even followed up.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But here's the question and answer.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
We want to ask you about your leadership qualities, Governor Walls,
you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly
Teneman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine.
The Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting
that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of
that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Yeah, well, and the folks out there didn't get at
the top of this.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Look. I grew up in small, rural Nebraska.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
What town of four hundred town that you rode your
bike with your buddies, still the street lights come on,
and I'm proud of that service. H I joined the
National Guard at seventeen, worked on family farms, and then
I used.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The gibill to become a teacher. Passion about it. A
young teacher.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the
summer of eighty nine to travel to China thirty five
years ago. Be able to do that, I came back
home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, we would take baseball teams,
we would take dancers, and we would go back and
forth to China. The issue for that was was to
try and learn. Now, Look, my community knows who I am.
(12:18):
They saw where I was at they look. I will
be the first to tell you I have poured my
heart into my community.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I've tried to do.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
The best I can, but I've not been perfect, and
I'm a knucklehead at times. But it's always been about that.
Those same people elected me to Congress.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Wow, Wow, I just thank you for your service to
the country riding your bike until the street lights came on,
and I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yes, why did you make up a story about being
somewhere you weren't and it's approvable. Look, I grew up
in a small rural Nebraska town. A tell that you
rode your bike with your buddies till the street lights
come on, and I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
It's like.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
The random word generator, stuck or something. That was odd.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Problem with wine is it often gets very difficult to
keep everything together when you try to explain it because
it's inexplainable. And then, well, what was so odd was
that he he had the phrase I'm proud of that
service in his head to parry the hole he came
to rank.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
He didn't deserve thing right in the military. But that's
just odd.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You can't to bike riding. You know, I too.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Served our country in that very same way Clarendon Hills, Illinois, seventies.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Look it up.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I was there on like teon min tampon, Tim Dang.
The follow up is just as good, but we got
to take a break. We'll get that next. So in
last we joined Tim Walls. Ah dang it here comes
my COVID to.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Get Oh no, it's everywhere now it's the new variant.
Remember when that used to be all the talk?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Oh yeah, variant nine from outer space.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So when last we joined Tim Wallas, he was asked
by Margaret Brennan. To her credit, as biased as they were,
they brought up this topic of him claiming he had
been in China during the Tieneman Square massacre and you know,
one of the biggest events in world's history and the
heck of a thing to be around for and get
to experience, you know, up close.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Turns out he wasn't there during that period of time.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
He was serving his country by riding his bike or something.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And when I asked.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
About that, he said, Look, I grew up in a
small world Nebraska town right off the bat, What the
hell did she did?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
His long rambling answer involving baseball players and dancers or something.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Did he and his boss Kamala go to some sort
of seminar where they said, look, if you ever get
pinned down, you say you grew up in middle class,
you say you're from a small rural town.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't care what the topic is, it's just how
you get started. Just go with it. I grew up
in a small world Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
To tell me, you rode your bike with your buddies
till the street lights come on, and I'm proud of
that service.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And then he goes up. He goes on with a
whole bunch.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Of other stuff about the National Guard, being a teacher
and all these different things that also are extraneous to
the whole topic of the whole thing, And so he
doesn't answer the question, and to Margaret Brenman's credit, she
doesn't let him.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Get away with it. Governor.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
Just to follow up on that, the question was, can
you explain.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
They All I said on this was is I got
there that summer and misspoke on this, So I will
just that's what I've said.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So I was.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
In Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went
in and from that I learned a lot of what
needed to be in governance.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Thank you, governor.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
So if they are protesters, you roll in the tanks
and machine gun them.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Is that what you learned?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
What I like that he stopped hoping it was over,
but it wasn't. There's still time left, and Margaret Bretten
just let it hang.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Everybody's like, go on, go on, that's flying.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You need a He's thinking in his head, I need
a natural conclusion.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
To this statement.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Nothing's coming.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
And that's what I learned about governance.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Because as I as I said before, what's so odd
about that?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Should that?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Why didn't he just say, yeah, that was thirty years ago.
I thought I was there and June. Turns out it
was August, right after the protest. But the point was
the country was still raw with emotion about it, and
holy cow, would a historic.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I mean that you could have bull pooped your way
out of that without trying.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Oh, you grew up in a small town and you
rode your bikes and you're proud of that service.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And the street lights are on, the street lights were all.
That's when you stopped bike I don't think we're riding
around in the dark.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We were not. No, no, because that's what they do
in China. They ride their bikes in the dark. And
we won't put up with hair in rural Nebraska.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
And we took the oaths when we signed up for
the bike riding squad.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
My service was a child bike rider.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Armstrong and Geeddy.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
President Biden over the weekend, wrote a letter to former
President Jimmy Carter for his one hundredth birthday. The letter,
no disrespect, but I think when someone's about to turn
one hundred, you want to pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, let's see, Yeah, could beany day sort of.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
That's the joke.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
I guess Jimmy Carter left office forty forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Correct. That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Wow, And you saw something on TV about it, Katie.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
Well, So they did a ceremonial flyover for his one
hundredth birthday and they wheeled him out and the paparazzi
where they and they got a picture of him quote
watching it happen.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
He doesn't look like he's alive in the photo. His eyes.
Speaker 12 (18:10):
His eyes are closed, his eyes are closed, and he's
doing the head back, mouth wide open.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Wow, you know, yeah, you don't know what his communications
like or whatever, but.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yeah, don't trot him out like.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I have been.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I have been involved in not with my family members,
but I've been involved with a few.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Are we rolling her out.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Here into the living room for this birthday party for
us or for her because she doesn't seem like she
even knows what's happening.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Now, I'm a firm believer in, you know, continuing to
communicate with people because they can hear if they can't answer,
and that sort of thing. Maybe rolling them out and
taking pictures with the five that just seems unfortunate to me.
But yeah, anyway, Katie brought us a story during a
brief local segment for our home station about Gabby Newsome
(18:58):
and a new law. Go ahead and hit that and
then we'll go from there. Because this is some classic ridiculous,
populous nonsense California phoniness.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
A plan to quote stop California gas prices from spiking
is headed to the Senate after the Assembly approved Governor
Newsom's proposal in the special session yesterday. He wants refineries
to keep a specific amount of fuel on hand to
avoid a supply shortage if they go down for maintenance
or experience an outage.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Okay, So, the great Dan Walters, who has been a
reporter and commentator on affairs governmental in California for many,
many years, staunchly non partisan, very very fair guy, wrote
the following, It's time to blow the whistle on the
farcical efforts of California's politicians, especially Governor Gavin Newsom, to
reduce the state's high gasoline prices. Newsom's demand that the
(19:55):
legislature reconvening the special Session on gas prices continues this
crusade against the oil in industry, charging it with price gouging. However,
Newsome has never offered to any persuasive evidence of such behavior,
nor has it been confirmed by those who have seriously
examined the factors that cause California gas prices to be
at the highest or nearly the highest of any state.
And he goes into a great deal of detail about
(20:16):
the various studies and the experts that have done them,
and y, California gas prices are more expensive, and a
lot of it is just the almost dollar a gallon,
which is seventy cents higher than the national average of taxes.
But there is a forty three cent a gallon mystery
gasoline surcharge.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That ex jects have talked about.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, well that's what Gave is trying to claim that
it's gouging, but at least some of it reflects the
relatively high costs of doing any kind of business in California. Rents, electricity,
the other utilities, wages, regulatory overhead.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Run a tire store in.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Texas and run one in California and tell me whether
the tires aren't a few it's more expensive in California.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Just because we try to open a coffee shop. How
much more expensive it is it in California than anywhere
else for all kinds of different reasons.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Getting back to Dan Walters, Newsom's latest forays and demand
that the legislature or order refineries to put more fuel
into storage as a buffer against price spikes caused by
refinery outages or other factors. So perficially that sounds plausible,
but it assumes that refiners have storage capacity to comply
with such a law, or can he easily expand.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Storage obvious point that's escaped me.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
But yeah, of course, but storage is not without its costs,
which could drive retail prices even higher. The State Energy
Commission declared in recent analysis that Newman's Newsom's proposal has
the potential to quote artificially create shortages in downstream markets
and increase average prices. That's the State Energy Commission. The
(21:51):
Commission says, and I quote there may be a case
for additional storage as a matter of maintaining supply resiliency
for the next two decades, but such investments do a
stranded assets risk. More analysis is needed to determine whether
the benefits of enhanced supply resiliency are worth the investment
in the near term. But Newsom, of course wants the
legislature to act immediately without more analysis, which is the
(22:14):
antithesis of prudent lawmaking. And you know, we could get
into more detail on that, but I think we've made
the case. And then this from the Wall Street Journal.
The headline is California's tax on Arizona and Nevada. The
cost of California's energy regulations are rolling into neighboring states,
and guess who's unhappy. Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs and
(22:36):
Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, the two Western governors wrote
to California Governor Gavin Nussolini, warning that his new plan
to mitigate rising gas prices will backfire and harm their citizens.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Quote.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
It is evident that increased regulatory burdens on refiners and
forced supply shortages will result in higher costs for consumers
in all our states, they write, because California Andary supply
nearly ninety percent of the vadi's gasoline in about half
of Arizona's. It's like rent control. It's just it's populist nonsense.
(23:11):
And you know, it reminds me of one of my
favorite principles. I may have come up with this, I
don't know. People don't offer terrible arguments because they're keeping
their really good ones safe for tomorrow. People don't make
weird and when Weasley denials of having done something because
they didn't do it, and Gavin Newsom isn't going to
(23:35):
idiotic populist lengths to cover up the prices of doing
business in California because he's blameless.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I think you did invent that, and that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I actually thought about it last night during the debate
because one of the examples Tim Walls threw out of
a poor woman dying because she wasn't allowed to get
an abortion when she wanted to.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh yeah, it's absolutely not true.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
And I've been I've been meaning to do that story,
but like I said earlier, I'm just never in the
mood to get in to these kind of stories. But
it's just not true. And I thought that's what Joseo
is saying. If he's got lots of really good examples,
why would he throw out one that has been proven
to be not true?
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Right right the whole This lady died because she couldn't
get care. This woman had a miscarriage and died because
blah blah blah. People have looked into that. It has
nothing to do with what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It does.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Right back to California, briefly, we all like Adam Schiff
right finnishneck I've ever seen he is going to be
one of our senators. How exciting is that if you're
a Californian he's going to be one of our two senators. God,
that disgusts me that he got to raise his profile
(24:45):
and rise to fame on the back of just lie
after lie after lie after lie on MSNBC and now
he's going to be a freaking senator.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
But anyway, it's a real victory for equality. He's the
first weasel to attain high office.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And he'll be a Senator forever because that's the way it works.
He wrote a long letter yesterday with a bunch of
co signers. Representative Adam Schiff demands social media companies ramp
up censorship of misinformation and disinformation ahead of the twenty
twenty four election.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yes, government pro censorship, government pressuring companies that they regulate
or certainly could regulate more.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
If they want to to.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Ramp up censorship of misinformation as determined by who Adam like.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Misinformation like that lady died because of abortion laws and
not the abortion pill, for instance. That's misinformation and disinformation.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Good one or some other medical problem that occurred in
the hospital, which is the case of that Georgia woman.
They're not exactly sure why she died, but it wasn't
because of that. It was something else, like in the
way that tens of thousands of people die in the
hospital every single year from a variety of mistakes and complications.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Disinformation likes do the kids need the COVID vaccine? Misinformation
speaking of the COVID vaccine. Yes, sang it clearly. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
we could go down the list. Oh my god, please folks,
please please please, somebody says, I'll tell you I am
(26:14):
justified in censoring your free speech.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just it's over, it's over.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Then, don't even listen to the well misinformation can influence
the lections. Well with COVID about we can't let people
bah blah blah. Don't even let them finish their sentence.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Please.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I can't believe that a vice presidential debate bumped Iran
Israel off the front page yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Like hours after it happened. Hours have the.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Biggest ballistic missile attack in world history against one of
our closest allies, which we are committed to defending, got
bumped off the entire and everything by last night because
the vice presidents were debating. That's how into our own
soap opera of whose president we are are true?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
True?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Quite myself included. Although here is my excuse. The whole
Israel Iran thing is going to be back in front
of us within a week or so.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I was going to say, Garan, when do you think
Israel is going to strike? When they blank and feel
like sooner the better.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I mean, you've got, you've got, you know, the whole
everybody understands why you're doing it. Closer to the event
of being attacked, I wouldn't wait around too long.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yeah, yeah, but with Israel, they will serve revenge cold
when necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I do feel like because I heard this from Hesbaala
a week or so ago. Now they're all dead, and
heard this from Israel, and we say it all the time,
the whole phrase at a at a at a time
of our choosing, and it's just I think it's lost.
It's whatever may have once had. And we'll respond at
a time of our choosing. Yeah, of course you will,
(27:58):
as opposed to what I just I don't know. I
don't think it sounds as tough as I think it does.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I disagree. I think it's cool.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah, I mean, what's the alternative. We'll respond when we
get around to it. No, that's the wrong tone. We
will respond when the time is right. It's kind of
just as good as the other one.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I don't just we will respond, which everybody believes they are.
I haven't come across anybody who doesn't think Israel is
going to respond hard directly at Iran.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
How soon will you respond and in what way?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
None? Y, there you go, No, wait and see, we'll
finish strong.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We have a lot to.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Get to ahead, gentlemen, on many.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Topics we're trying to break Margaret.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
How you doing. We played a clip earlier of.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Representative from Israel quite angry on CNN yesterday about something
the UN Secondcretary General said about the broadening of the
war needs to end. There needs to be a ceasefire
and a cease of aggression all the way around. Did
not condemn Iran for attacking Israel anyway. Israel's foreign minister
has just named the UN Secretary General Antonio Guta's persona
(29:18):
non grata, meaning he no longer is allowed to enter
the country of Israel.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Israel won't love that audio you want to play it?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Sure, Israel will not let the guy who runs a
UN into their country anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
How about that.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Eighteen Michael, If you have that handy.
Speaker 13 (29:35):
The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guteris today posted this comment.
Let me read it for you.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
This is what he said.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
I condemned the broadening of the Middle East conflict with
escalation after escalation this must stop. We absolutely absolutely need
a ceasefire. I mean, sir, what's your response to him?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Shame on him. This guy is a clown.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
He's a clown because he cannot even bring him to
utter the words I condemned the Islamic Republic of Iran
for shooting two hundred ballistic missiles on the Jewish state.
He's condemning the broadening. What is the broadening? Have you
ever met the broadening? I've never seen a broadening walk
on the street.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
He's a coward.
Speaker 14 (30:17):
It's time for him to quit. The UN is a
farce if the United Nations cannot stand up and do
what's necessary when one country is attacked by another.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
We did nothing to Iran.
Speaker 14 (30:29):
And for the past year, they've been making our lives miserable,
not only ours, the entire Middle East. And instead of
standing up for what's right, this coward cannot even bring
himself to condemn Iran.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Well, it's time for him to quit.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That is not beating around the bush. And he's right
one hundred percent, So what the hell is the point
of the UN If Iran attacks a democracy like Israel
with the biggest ballistic mill attack in world history, and
he doesn't condemn it at all.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
No, just the broadening in the escalations, all of the escalations.
How many escalations is Israel supposed to take before they
get to escalate, mister Biden, mister guitaraz kamala.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Anyway, it's going to happen in the next couple of
days or weeks, and that's going to be quite the
event and could have an effect on our presidential election,
although thus far nothing has.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Caused anything to move.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Oil, nukes or military installations. What's your guess all of these?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I think they got to take out that nuclear weapons,
male plant enrichment, whatever, whatever, whatever's going to set them
back or destroy their chance of getting a nuclear weapon,
because otherwise they are they are absolutely Iran will have
a nuclear weapon and that will make the world a
different place.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Having vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the map, Yeah,
that would be really uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, and we see how we react to are Ukraine
in Russia out of the fear of Russia using a
nuclear weapon. Imagine if Aran has a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
How many times have we gotten attacked and we never say, hey,
we might Nukia. We've got a hell of an arsenal.
But it's funny that never comes up. Nobody ever says
to the Housies, Hey, you realize the US has nukes, right,
that's true. They know your Boco Harams or I could
name a dozen other bad actors.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
They know. We're restrained by decency, I guess, or.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Whether you're trying to leave a sports stadium or conduct
foreign policy. Donald Trump knows this. You gotta convince the
other guy you're crazier than they are. It's really a
useful car.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Donald Trump's case. That should be quite easy.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
It comes by a fairly natural I guess.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Allows the time. Look what do we have?
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Time still?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Time to go?
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
We got about twenty seconds and I'm twenty seconds.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, go ahead and ate it. Let's have long final thoughts.
We can really stretch out, ponder a variety of things.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Check you, Clark, GISs time stop, Jack and Joe go go.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
And if they don't give candlp bats in my road.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
This happens every now and then, Katie, we do a
four hour show, but we only had three hours and
fifty six minutes planned.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
It happens. Here's your host.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
For final thoughts, Joe Getty's.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Kitty Final thought from everybody in the crew. To wrap
things up for the day, Michael Agelo, our technical director,
will lead the way.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Michael, I grew up in a small town and rowed
until the street lights came in. I didn't have a
final thought, but I thought that would be a good
as good as an answer and anything.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, Katie Green are esteemed to us woman.
Speaker 12 (33:47):
As a final thought, Katie Joe, I just want to
thank you from the bottom of my heart for introducing
me to the fat Bear cams because I found my
new favorite thing.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Oh it's my pleasure to spread the love. Oh it
bears up in Alaska, chundown on the salmon getting big.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
And fat, and you vote for the fattest one. I'll
make that part of my final thought.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
We got to link that at Armstrong engedtdy dot com
so you can find the camera rely easy, because that
is a good way to while away the hours during
these difficult times.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Also with the link to Lonhi Chen's event tonight, do
we have that linked at Armstrong and gedtdy dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
We should. My final thought is I.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Grew up in a small Midwestern town in Illinois where
we'd ride our bikes to the community pool and swim
for a long time and then buy a bag of
barbecue potato chips with the quarter our parents gave us.
Then we'd ride our bikes home. And I'm proud of
that service. And that's why you went to China.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yes, because of the baseball players and dancers. Haven't you
been listening?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Became sympathetic to communism, all fits together.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I learned everything I need to do about governing or something.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That was the single worst answer, maybe ever in a debate.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I would just.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Saying, since Joe Biden announced he'd killed Medicare.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah he ran out of things, and say, uh, and
we killed melicary, Yeah, that's it. Armstrong and Getty wraping up.
But are they're grueling four hour workday?
Speaker 5 (35:16):
So many people who thanks so much bad ahead of
kef care go to Armstrong he getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
We've got a lot of great hot links for you.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
You can drop us a Nope mail bag at Armstrong
e getty dot com. Pick up a hat or a
T shirt for your favorite ang fan, perhaps for yourself. Oh,
it will delight you and others. And thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Whether it's cracking down on misinformation or the so called
fact checking. Can we all learn the lesson that it's
one percent in the eye of the beholder, so it
just needs to not exist. Obviously, we'll see tomorrow. God
bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I'm Strong and Getty. They laugh at us all over
the world.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
They're laughing at us.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
But they are who we thought they were about the
do it anymore. You do it anymore. You can have
problems or do what every want. What the hell do
I care?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Let's not even talk about the silliness of it all. Crap, Wow, dammit,
that's the ball game. Thank you, Armstrong and Getty.
