Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and Jetty and Arms get.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Live from the studio c oh season your It is
already Thursday, people. We're in a dimly lit room deep
with them, the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications compound,
and today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Humanity, humanity. What the hell is the humanity?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Ugh?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh, okay, the the uh the what do you call
that sound?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I don't know. The exasperation, yeah, the the.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Grunt of exasperation, not the grunt of like pleasure, which
can be a grunt, but the grunt of exasperation. And
why beings can express themselves through a wide pellette of grunt.
Maybe the grunt of this is heavy, Maybe the grunt
of oh man, I'm middle aged and I'm getting out
of a chair right, or the grunt of I should
(01:24):
check out a salad next time I put my shoes
on it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's kind of harder.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But this is this is the grunt of despair about humanity,
and why is that our general manager. I've just had
it confirmed that there is indeed, a nationwide run on
toilet paper because of the dock workers strike. Unbelievable, and
there's no there's no actual this from what I understand,
there's no actual problem as of the It's virtually every
(01:50):
square of it is is produced domestically. It never hits
the ports. So uh, it's just a thing. Somebody put
out a TikTok video or an Instagram or a whatever,
and now everybody's buying.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Toilet paper at your local conic spread.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, the panic is spreading on Costco, although not toilet paper,
but other things could become real, like auto parts and
other important things as the dock workers strike is continuing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And I just heard from an expert. We'll hear more
from a little bit later. This morning.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They had an expert on supply chain stuff. What a
fun thing to do for a living? Be interesting? But
oh yeah, yeah, boy, you would get some looks at parties,
probably the all right, you asked, so what do you
do for me?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm a supply chain expert.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Boy, I should probably ask you something, but I need
to figure out how to walk away.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think I my wife called for me. I'll be
right back.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So what's the key to a good supply chain there, Jim,
oh boy, yeah, so auto parts. So so stockpile auto parts, panic, stockpile,
go into your local uh O'Reilly or whatever, say I
need one of one of everything, no, no more more,
or heading to Detroit so they can make cars, that
(03:02):
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So, and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The strike you've probably heard this figure they say is
costing the economy five billion dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But then it will grow over time, and.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Each day that is missed will take a week to
catch up. So we're now already three weeks behind. I
hadn't heard this though. One of the things, Well, first
of all, is there an example in history of any
industry anywhere in the world denying a technological advance and
(03:34):
it not being a terrible idea? Oh no, hanging out
to human beings for just the sake of hanging onto
the human beings when you could do it faster and
cheaper another way. Is there an example of that ever
happening where that wasn't a horrible idea? Well, no, that's
a good idea for the workers in the union, but
for the economy in general. No, No, it's just clinging
(03:54):
to jobs way past when they're doing to go away.
We have, from what I understand, the most outdated ports
of any major country in the world because of our
unionized dock workers and all that sort of stuff, and
our refusal to catch up.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
One of the things they're demanding. And hey, I feel
sorry for you. This is one of the.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Reasons you can make inroads with people when you start
bashing capitalism. Because capitalism, I hate to call it its
ugly side, it's just its reality side. Things change, technology
comes along and you lose jobs, or things go out
of style. It's just reading about Nike and the trouble
(04:31):
they're in right now if there's stock price and they
might have to start laying people up just because people
decide they like this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Kind of shoe better. That's not you know, it's just
the way it is.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
There's going to be a lot more ten year olds
rolling around on the soccer fields of the Third world
now since they're off work made what anyway for varieties
of reasons. Industries come and go and people lose their job,
and that's just part of the capitalism thing and always
will be. So, you know, it sucks that technologies come
up long and your really sweet, high paying job at
(05:02):
the dock is going away, but one of the things
they're trying to hang onto. For instance, people keep focusing
on the hourly wage. It's the other stuff. It's the
automation they want to hang on to. No, no, no, no, no.
License plate to readers, We're still going to have human
beings there at the booth writing down the license plate
on a clipboard and making whatever they make, eighty dollars
(05:22):
an hour and tremendous vacation and pensions and healthcare and
all this. That's crazy, that's crazy. That's just that you
can't that can't happen. And you know, if we ask
for a show of hands from people whose industries had
changed fundamentally in the last decade or so, I think
we'd see a hell of a lot of hands in
(05:43):
the air. I mean, there are radio ranches around the
country that used to employe one hundred and twenty five
people that now employ twenty five people. And I'm not exaggerated.
Oh how about the friends. My heart is just not
going to bleed that much for the dock. How our
friends in the newspaper industry, Oh, the local newspaper here.
I remember the first time I took a tour like
(06:04):
twenty five years ago the Sacramento b giant building covering
an entire city block. I don't know how many hundreds
or thousands employees they have now they got like three.
It's because technology changed and a free press is utterly
completely fundamental to a functioning democracy, and there's no replacing
journalists with machines.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But they've just.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Gone away because the Internet and Craigslist and all kinds
of different reasons we've talked about before, but yeah, trying
to hang on to people with clipboards reading license plates
when you can get very cheap technology that takes the
license plate down and it costs you nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's just a losing battle.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And acting like it's de facto immoral because people are
going to lose those jobs, or those jobs are just
going away and we'll never come back. It's just it's
not de facto immoral. It's unfortunate. If you're a family
that's dealing with it. Have a great deal of sympathy
for you. But the idea that we are going to
cripple the economy for a handful of very highly paid
(07:01):
workers and their union boss who makes a million bucks
a year and his kid who makes nearly a million
bucks a year from the union and place, No, no,
you don't get to cripple the economy for the rest
of us well, and then just competing against China on
the world stage, they get they're gonna they're going to
do whatever is the most efficient and the cheapest with
everything going forward, and we're just going to hang on
(07:22):
to the old days that ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It'll be interesting to see how that turns out, and
it'll be interesting to see to what extent this becomes
a political issue and part of the campaign. Kamala Harris
came out pretty strong for the workers yesterday. I don't
know where the American public is. I noticed a change
in the tone on Fox where I felt like they
must have sensed that they needed to be more friendly
(07:48):
toward the workers, so they their tones seemed to shift
the lot toward people working hard out there and just
trying to feed their family, and okay, oh that's where
they were yesterday, at least on the show.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
More interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, you can be working hard as hell. I've known
plenty of people working hard as hell to feed their
family that lost their jobs because technology changed, and it
does suck. I wonder if somebody called old the old
man Doosey and said, yeah, I saw you walking out
of your door this morning, one two three Main Street.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's a nice house. Shame of something happened to it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's a nice head of hair you got there. You're
real shame if something happened to that head of hair
or the head or something. I haven't figured this threat out,
working on it, but yeah, but the point is a
menacing anyway. The point is a talking to you in
a menacing manner.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Loves the show.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Click, Let's start the show officially, which includes a news clip.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this How did
it already get to be Thursday? Or October the third,
the year twenty twenty four? Armstrong and getting we approved
of this program. Let's begin the show officially. Then, according
to FCC rules regulations, here we go at Mark.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
The answer is no, and I think there's things we'll
be discussing the Israelis what they're going to do. But
they had all seven of us agree that a writer's
spot that this respond or.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I had trouble hearing that what was happening there.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I speak fluent jet engine Jack, so I would be
more than happy to translate. The reporter asked the President
whether he would have support an Israeli attack on Iran's
nuclear facilities.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
President said, uh no, shocking.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Then he stated that the members of the G seven
organization all agreed that Israel should defend itself, but it
should be proportional.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It should be proportional.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You know, I missed this yesterday, not to don't punch
me in the face for bringing up the vice presidential
debate again, but I had missed.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The first quay.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I ought to the first question, which was about Iran
and Israel and should have been a much longer discussion,
but they needed to get to abortion and climate change,
don't you know?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The first question was do you support or a pose?
A God?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What's the right phrase? It's flitted out of my old
man head. It'll come back to me. I'm gonna have
to ask you what do you call it? When you
strike first? It's called a preemptive stuck strike.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That was the question for Margaret Brennan.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Do you support a preemptive strike from Israel on Iran?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
A preemptive strike? They just got hit.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
With two hundred ballistic missiles and responding would be a
preemptive strike.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That's how far left their view is on all this
sort of stuff. Or did she say they're nuclear facilities. No,
they just said on Iran. Okay, yeah, I don't remember.
Just a preemptive strike on Iran. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So when we responded to Japan after December seventh, that
was a preemptive strike. That's a nutty way to look
at the world. And you see Joe Biden looks at
the world that way. No, No, no proportional response. Why
Joe Biden makes Neville Chamberlain look like Winston Churchill. I'm
not sure he's legally technically right on what proportional response
(11:22):
is under the UN law or international law. Anyway, if
they hit you with enough ballistic missiles that they could
have taken out your biggest city, then you have the
right to stop that from happening again, which would be
a pretty big strike. Hell yeah, yeah, a nice aspect.
We're going to see a pretty big strike. And y'a
(11:43):
who's not no longer constrained by Biden's cowardly mumbling, Thank god?
And a great piece in the National Review. Maybe I'll
read from later. I forget who wrote it. On remember
this is all Obama's fault on how the Obama administration
with their ridiculous I Ran nuclear deal and all the
money going to them and thinking that somehow they would
(12:04):
moderate or whatever. And Joe Biden's cut from the same cloth.
Why the hell would you not take out that nuclear
facility now, I mean as a benefit to the United States,
not just to Israel. There's no benefit to us for
a ran our biggest enemy in the world having a nuclear.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Weapon, well, one of our biggest.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Uh did I hear you use the term international law
with a straight face.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, they've killed more people, are you? They've killed more soldiers.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They're behind killing more soldiers than anyone else in the
world over the last I don't remember how many decades
around here.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Anyway, more on that later. How does mailbag look?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It'll be fine, It'll just sure it'll be because it's
not good. No, Yeah, we got to get more clips
of that doc worker cussinatus I really like that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The guy runs the union seventy eight years old. He'd
bust your head open soon as look at you.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh yeah, for even daring to suggest that he shouldn't
be a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
All that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On the way, text line four one, five, two nine
five k FTC. My son has his homecoming dance tomorrow night.
So we were picking out clothes last night. They're required
to wear a tie and a jacket, and is he
like it? He's the same size as me. So we're
going through my closet and getting hi all dressed up.
(13:21):
Very exciting stuff. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Aren't that many places that ask for a jacket these days? No,
certainly not in you know, your Coastalarias. But I think
it's because it's a private school. I don't think they
would do with the public school.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, no good for them, though I like it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Freedom loving quote of the day from Elvis Huxley from
Brave New World. Most men and women will grow to
love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. True.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
At that is true.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, it's an unfortunate and troubling aspect of the whole
liberty question. Most people are fine with being Sheep's a
little insulting, but let's go with sheep. You should bring
that up again later. I have comments on it, but
I don't want to take a mailbag time.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah I will, I'd be delighted I think about it.
A lot. Here's your mailbag and drop us a note.
Would your mail bag at Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Dot com Loyle listener Robert with this note all set
to sync, I'm sorry. Send a link of an article
reporting the Vice president visiting the art areas hit so
hard by Hurricane Helena would of course be accompanied by
a snarky comment.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Instead.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'd like to ask you to remind any leaders or
potential leaders in your audience of this fact. When people
are surrounded by devastation, politicians are the last thing they need.
The higher up the ladder, the less their presence is needed.
After the fires of two thousand and seven, we had
to wait for hours to get to our home because
President Bush was touring something close by. We're eventually allowed
to see if all of our possessions had burned up.
(14:55):
So no real loss, I guess. But my real point
is all VIPs do is slow down prop I hated
it in the military, and I hate.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It more now. I don't doubt that a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And all those people who are critical of leaders not
forcing a dog and pony show just to get some
good press. What on God's green earth do you think
politicians canna accomplished by visiting. They can do all they
need from far, far away.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I've been saying that forever.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Is there any advantage whatsoever to the person seeing it,
especially up close the very least, fly over with a
helicopter and look at it. But the blocking off all
the roads and the secret service and this and that,
so you can walk along in your regular jacket and
jeans with your arm around someone. So on the evening
(15:42):
news it looks like you care about Americans. We got
to get over that. Yeah, that's not for the people there.
Let's see. Oh that's interesting, but it's long. We'll get
to it later. Guys sent you. Aaron writes an article
about a couple of Harvard students who've already demonstrated how
to use Meta's new smart glasses. There's more to that,
(16:04):
but we talked about this the other day. Meta appears
to have a hit on its hand, that smart glasses
have been streamlined and simplified, and now it's mostly a
camera and video well, a video camera slash camera that
you can quickly start recording, you know, if your kids
do something cute or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You don't have to bust out your phone.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, I was at the sunglass Hut and they're overpriced
sunglasses in the mall yesterday and they said they are
sold out constantly of the ray bands with that technology
in them, people want to ask them.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Here's the interesting part.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
A couple of Harved students have already demonstrated how to
use Meta's new smart glasses coupled with AI to in
real time identify people along with their names, phone numbers, addresses, relatives,
and any other information you need to know about them.
They show themselves chatting up strangers as if they know them,
with information their tool gives them in real time.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I gotta believe that's the future for everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You walk around with a headset on that identifies people's
faces and gives you their name, address, probably in the future,
social Security number and a health situation. And for what
it's worth, Jared in Missouri, it says, I'm an undecided
voter in a swing state. I'm more comfortable now, much
more voting for Trump than I was having seen jd vance.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
So who knows might make a difference around the edges.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Anybody wear the smart glasses or any other comment text
line four one five two nine five kftc.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So just reading the Wall Street Journal op ed about
Joe Biden restraining Israel rather than trying to restrain Iran.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Maybe we'll get into that later. That's quite the debate.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I know more and more people in my political orbit
that Lad Lean my direction, who are really against being
involved in this international stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That is a wave that is sweeping the right.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, yeah, it is. That's it's interesting. It comes in cycles.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So more on that line.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Some of the impulses behind it are are good ones.
I think they're just misguided at times as well. But
we'll talk about it. So any luck with getting that clip, guys,
Jen Pasaki dig this, will you please?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Talking about Douglas M.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Hoff the second Gentleman soon to be perhaps the first gentleman.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Interesting part of how people have talked about.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Your role here is how your role.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure
you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
think that's.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Part of the role you might play as first.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Gentleman's funny, I've started to think a lot about this.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I've always been like this. My dad was like this.
It made me throw up again.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It made me throw up the first time I heard
it two days ago, and it made me throw up again.
The redefining masculine, I hate that core sort of crap
and just a general even without the details we're about
to get to. I just hate that sort of Oh
because you're kind of subservient and you'll be in a
lower power role than your wife. That's so so fantastic
(18:57):
and so cool and something we should just went light.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh it's so great. Yeah, exactly. So that's a number one.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The entire premise that the topic is disgusting and vomit worthy,
but the subject of it makes it even more so.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Douglas M Hoff, husband of Kamala Harris, who is not
running for office, but it was being praised by lefty
media's reinventing masculinity along with old coach.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I used to ride my bike in my hometown. I'm
proud of that service, reinventing masculinity. The rest of it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So Douglas m Hoff, who impregnated his kid's nanny then
had her have an abortion. Perhaps she was one hundred
percent in favor of the abortion. I'm not saying it
was the forced or anything like that. But okay, so
knocking up your nanny and then having an abortion is
reinventing manhood. Okay, Well, this story has just come out
as well. Vice President Harris husband is accused of slapping
(19:56):
execs girlfriend for flirting with a valet worker a ritzy gala.
This is in con In twenty twelve, a new report
A lot to hate in this story.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You're in con Let's start there aren't Jeff Carthy.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Three sources for this story who talked to The Daily
Mail but have asked not to be named due to
fear of retaliation from em Hooff, the White House, etc.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So what are the participants again? Doug em Hoff his
girlfriend at the time.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
His girlfriend at the time, But then but the date
you gave, So that's when people started talking twenty twelve,
how long have they been married? But he started dating
her not long after that, in twenty thirteen. I didn't
realize this started dating Harris. I thought they'd been married
together longer than that. I didn't realize that. No, No,
(20:50):
he's a rich entertainment lawyer and he'd been dating this
woman for three or four months. Took her on a
whirldwind trip to the south of France, having a big
time I'm big party, a gala. They're out late at night,
there's a huge line for cabs and rides and such,
and she starts flirting with the like the conscierge or
(21:12):
whoever was in charge of the car line, offering a tip.
And allegedly this guy didn't like Imaohoff, didn't like her
flirting and slapped her hard in the face, spun her around.
She slapped him back, then got in a cab she
jumped in after she called friends, crying and explaining what
(21:33):
had happened and how sickening it was, and and and
they broke up that night, but she told multiple friends
about it at the time. So what is the greater
significance of this. It's a scandal, it's a distraction. Kamala
(21:58):
will have to explain why she's with a guy who
knocks up nannies and slaps dates. Kamala, who I criticize
plenty on the show, does not strike me as a
sort of woman that would put up with any crap
from her husband.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So he must not be like that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Now, No, no, no, I don't think she would put
up with domestic violence or even anything close to it.
I don't feel like I feel like she's a bit
of a puppet, honestly. But so, you know, will this matter?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's interesting. It's difficult to.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Describe why it would or even should matter, since the
guy isn't running for office, but the brave independent woman
who for gonna be the first president and is you know,
a role model? Blah blah blah. Being with a guy
like that, that that just that takes the bloom off
the rose. That's that's not a good look. Yeah, I
(22:59):
don't I don't know. I actually what I think about it,
I don't want to hear anymore. He's reinventing manhood as
a guy who sexes up the nanny, gets her pregnant,
and then perhaps slapped his girlfriend, ending his last relationship.
Enough with the reinventing manhood crap. Yeah, personally, I've done
neither one of those and don't claim to be reinventing anything. Yeah,
(23:25):
it's ugly. I tell you what we have for years said.
The whole First Lady thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It looks you want to do a charity thing. I
think that's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You want to raise money for a worthy cause or
work to end bullying in school or whatever. I have
nothing against that, but there is no constitutional role for
the first partner. And then the fact that they have whatever,
you know, sex, there the fact that they're expected to
have an agenda and they have a staff and all
these different sort of things whatever. On the other hand,
the spouse of the candidate and or president, they're foibles,
(24:01):
real and imagined, have been one hundred fair game in
years past, especially if it's a Republican Oh yeah, yeh, yeah,
I don't know. You know, Trump's got a bit of
baggage in the way he treats women. So I don't
know that anybody would switch candidates over.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This sort of story.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Might make you a little less enthusiastic to go to
the rally if you hear this, I guess right, or
turnout vote? Yeah, it's about turnout, Jack, It's all about turnout.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
People don't have to switch, they just have to stay home.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So Kama Harril the Pablon B said the campaign is
taking their Harris twenty twenty four wife Beater t shirts.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Off of the website.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You can still buy the T shirts, sweatshirts, and hats,
but the tank top.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If you WI no longer for sale? Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, yeah, you get into politics, and that's the sort
of thing that you got to be expecting.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I guess if you hit women in the face, Uh yeah,
I don't know. You think it happened? I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I mean there are three people at the contemporaneously who said, yeah,
she immediately said exactly what had happened, called us was crying, shocked, horrified,
broke up with him, described it in details consistently.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I don't think they were eyewitnesses.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So it came out in October, the famous October surprise.
Everybody wonders if there's any OPO research hanging out there
that people are going to unleash this month. It's hard
to imagine that there's anything new on Donald Trump because
this is his third time running as the nominee for
the Republican Party, and you'd think if they had any
it would be out by now. But there still could
(26:03):
be some stuff out there on Kamala Harrison. It just
shows you the scrutiny level running for presidents just different.
I guess because there she was vice presidential candidate for
Biden last time around. A lot of attention on that election,
and somehow this story didn't surface then, but a surface now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
If it turns out to be bunk, we'll absolutely say so.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The most famous one that I can remember in my
lifetime is the George W. Bush Dui story that he'd
been governor of Texas twice, and somehow that stayed hidden.
But there it was, just days before the election in
twenty twenty, and that story came out back back, and
you have to remember what life was like back then.
(26:50):
That was a oh my god. Whereas now I'm just
I'm not sure what had any effect. I mean, you
pretty much have to have ten bodies in your basement
for it to even move the needle.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I think I'm not.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Sure do u I would be four five years adequate.
I'm not sure Dui driving drunk from decades ago would
would hardly even make the headlines anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I think it's interesting though, that an accusation like whether
Tim Walls was indeed in China during the or Hong
Kong during the ten Men Square massacre, or whether he
arrived there a couple of months later and just was
exaggerating to make the story more exciting, is really of
no great significance, although I think a serial fabuloust. We've
(27:38):
had enough of Joe Biden and his bowl crap. But
the fact that Walls was so awful at answering the question, Hey,
what's with the discrepancy here? You've been claiming this and
it's not true. And the fact that he went into
a babbling, sputtering web of half truth in nonsense and irrelevancies.
(28:01):
I mean, that says something about the guy, not saying,
you know, it was a long time ago. I got
the timetable long but it's tragic and just reminds us
how precious freedom is. The fact that he can't do
that says something about the guy. No matter the you know,
insignificance of the allegation. I think one of the other
branches of government, the judicial branch, with the Supreme Court
(28:22):
at the top of it, starts it's a new session
next Monday, first Monday in October, and what are the
big cases going to be this time around? We can
check in on that if you want to a little
bit late. I hope there aren't any controversial ones this time.
I hope it's all abortion, nothing but abortion, geez, because
that's the only topic I'm interested in, and we got
(28:43):
Katie's headlines coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Looking forward to it. Here's some good news.

today bed Bley Drivers of the World. You know, yeah,
but man, there's more coming out about this Daggett guy
who runs the union for the longshoreman and uh what
(30:14):
a guy straight out of a movie, a mob movie
who might be affecting your life soon in the entire
US economy with the big strike that's going on. We'll
get into that now. Or two Bentley Drivers of the World.
You know, he drives a Bentley is the reason, the
working class guy just looking out for you know, somebody
trying to go to work, who said the other day,
we will cripple you. We will cripple you talking about
(30:37):
the United States economy. Yes, yeah, thanks, thanks for crippling
us for your six figure guys. Yeah, fabulous. So a
lot to talk about this hour. If you can stick around,
please do. If you can't, grab the podcast later. I'm
strong and Getty on Demand or better yet, subscribe. Right now,
let's figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story
with Katie Greed.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Katie, thank you guys.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Starting with NBC News Israel, you, an ambassador says Iran
response will be greater than they could have ever imagined.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, you're so used to that talk out of the
Middle East, and often it doesn't live up to that.
But it's usually not out of Israel saying those sorts
of things. When Israel says those sorts of things, those
sorts of things usually happen.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Also, Yeah, former.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Ambassador to the United States from Israel, got his name
just flitted out of my head.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I read I read his book years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Anyway, he was on MSNBC yesterday advocating that Israel takeout
the Ayatola or leadership in Iran the same way they've
done with Hezbola. Oh, that would be something basically going
after regime change.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yeah, boy, would that be a lovely thing.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
It's a tough nut to crack, you're pro if they
could pull it off well in principle. Yeah, but that's
a complicated topic because what comes next.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
ABC News Russia and Ukraine launch attack drones at each
other in overnight strikes.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Russia took a town that had been holding out for
two years, Keytown.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Not good news yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
From CNN.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
China's Coastguard claims to have entered the Arctic Ocean for
the first time as it ramps up security ties with Russia.
NPR judge unseals new evidence against Trump in the January
sixth election interference case.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, and why was it unsealed in October before an election?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
That's a pretty decent question. Well, I'll talk more about
that later.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, and it's not really new evidence, it's the old
evidence having been cumbed through a bit to remove anything
that Supreme Court deemed, you know, unacceptable because of presidential.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Immunity for official duties.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Whether it's just a repackaging, whether it's new or exactly
the same, Why release that weeks before a presidential election
unless you're trying to remind people or give them new
information about why you shouldn't like Donald Trump. That's precisely it. Yeah,
there's zero chance the trial's going to take place now,
just had the prosecutor lay out the prosecution for some reason.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Now this one's from Politico. It's less the headline and more.
What was in the article, but the headline is eight
body language tells from.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
The vice presidential debate.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Vance's beard is masculine, showing aggression and anti feminist values,
while Wall's wide eyes showed his passion.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Oh wow, that changes the way I saw the debate.
There business in this scenario. I have an IQ below seventy.
I like this one from the New York Times yesterday.
Vance would have been better served by a more conservative tie.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Future raw silk is.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Something you wear to summer garden parties, not debates, said
one expert.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I agree completely, Thank you for that.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
This one coming from Hanson. Another Hanson demand. The San
Diego Padres beat the Braves five to four the nl
wild Card. They now face the Dodgers in the NLDS
Game one on Saturday on Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
That'll be fun. That will be fun.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
In other MLB playoff news, some other teams won as well.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah. I gotta get past this first wild card round
before I really get into this series.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
This one's just for you Jack from the New York Post.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Wilt Smith's fart on men in black set that led
to three hour cast and crew evacuation.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Director reveals you know what to eat.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Not sure, but the director quote from him said, what
happened was Wilt Smith is a farter.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Wow, that's this is childish. And Nidi had a Katie
be better, do better than this?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Okay, be better? Yeah that was green.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I'm not mad enough to beat down Chris Rock, but
I'm disappointed.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Okay, Well, I'll take it. The meme of the day.
This is just a text meme.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
It says, fun fact American made product don't get stuck
on cargo ships.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
That is good. I like that, Yeah, I like it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And finally the Babylon Bee Walls clarifies that he meant
the Tianamen Square Chinese buffet in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Oh hilarious. Well you left out.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I thought you're gonna get to the shocking headline that
Fat Bear Week has been marred by a bear murder.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
What Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And male on female violence too, speaking of toxic masculinity,
I feel like Fat Bear Week, which I was unaware
of until yesterday, is going to go the direction of
Shark Week, in which it just gets so much attention
that it's it becomes something else.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Because I saw it on the TV. Blige to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, it's on the TV right now as you're talking
about it, so it's become the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Bear four sixty nine murdered there four o two, missus
four oh two while everybody was watching the popular webcam.
Oh my god, so you're trying to like watch with
your kids. Look how fat that berries. And one of
the bears kills another bear. Oh yes, wild animiles, folks
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and Jetty and Arms get.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Live from the studio c oh season your It is
already Thursday, people. We're in a dimly lit room deep
with them, the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications compound,
and today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Humanity, humanity. What the hell is the humanity?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Ugh?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh, okay, the the uh the what do you call
that sound?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I don't know. The exasperation, yeah, the the.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Grunt of exasperation, not the grunt of like pleasure, which
can be a grunt, but the grunt of exasperation. And
why beings can express themselves through a wide pellette of grunt.
Maybe the grunt of this is heavy, Maybe the grunt
of oh man, I'm middle aged and I'm getting out
of a chair right, or the grunt of I should
(01:24):
check out a salad next time I put my shoes
on it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's kind of harder.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But this is this is the grunt of despair about humanity,
and why is that our general manager. I've just had
it confirmed that there is indeed, a nationwide run on
toilet paper because of the dock workers strike. Unbelievable, and
there's no there's no actual this from what I understand,
there's no actual problem as of the It's virtually every
(01:50):
square of it is is produced domestically. It never hits
the ports. So uh, it's just a thing. Somebody put
out a TikTok video or an Instagram or a whatever,
and now everybody's buying.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Toilet paper at your local conic spread.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, the panic is spreading on Costco, although not toilet paper,
but other things could become real, like auto parts and
other important things as the dock workers strike is continuing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And I just heard from an expert. We'll hear more
from a little bit later. This morning.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They had an expert on supply chain stuff. What a
fun thing to do for a living? Be interesting? But
oh yeah, yeah, boy, you would get some looks at parties,
probably the all right, you asked, so what do you
do for me?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm a supply chain expert.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Boy, I should probably ask you something, but I need
to figure out how to walk away.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think I my wife called for me. I'll be
right back.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So what's the key to a good supply chain there, Jim,
oh boy, yeah, so auto parts. So so stockpile auto parts, panic, stockpile,
go into your local uh O'Reilly or whatever, say I
need one of one of everything, no, no more more,
or heading to Detroit so they can make cars, that
(03:02):
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So, and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The strike you've probably heard this figure they say is
costing the economy five billion dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But then it will grow over time, and.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Each day that is missed will take a week to
catch up. So we're now already three weeks behind. I
hadn't heard this though. One of the things, Well, first
of all, is there an example in history of any
industry anywhere in the world denying a technological advance and
(03:34):
it not being a terrible idea? Oh no, hanging out
to human beings for just the sake of hanging onto
the human beings when you could do it faster and
cheaper another way. Is there an example of that ever
happening where that wasn't a horrible idea? Well, no, that's
a good idea for the workers in the union, but
for the economy in general. No, No, it's just clinging
(03:54):
to jobs way past when they're doing to go away.
We have, from what I understand, the most outdated ports
of any major country in the world because of our
unionized dock workers and all that sort of stuff, and
our refusal to catch up.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
One of the things they're demanding. And hey, I feel
sorry for you. This is one of the.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Reasons you can make inroads with people when you start
bashing capitalism. Because capitalism, I hate to call it its
ugly side, it's just its reality side. Things change, technology
comes along and you lose jobs, or things go out
of style. It's just reading about Nike and the trouble
(04:31):
they're in right now if there's stock price and they
might have to start laying people up just because people
decide they like this.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Kind of shoe better. That's not you know, it's just
the way it is.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
There's going to be a lot more ten year olds
rolling around on the soccer fields of the Third world
now since they're off work made what anyway for varieties
of reasons. Industries come and go and people lose their job,
and that's just part of the capitalism thing and always
will be. So, you know, it sucks that technologies come
up long and your really sweet, high paying job at
(05:02):
the dock is going away, but one of the things
they're trying to hang onto. For instance, people keep focusing
on the hourly wage. It's the other stuff. It's the
automation they want to hang on to. No, no, no, no, no.
License plate to readers, We're still going to have human
beings there at the booth writing down the license plate
on a clipboard and making whatever they make, eighty dollars
(05:22):
an hour and tremendous vacation and pensions and healthcare and
all this. That's crazy, that's crazy. That's just that you
can't that can't happen. And you know, if we ask
for a show of hands from people whose industries had
changed fundamentally in the last decade or so, I think
we'd see a hell of a lot of hands in
(05:43):
the air. I mean, there are radio ranches around the
country that used to employe one hundred and twenty five
people that now employ twenty five people. And I'm not exaggerated.
Oh how about the friends. My heart is just not
going to bleed that much for the dock. How our
friends in the newspaper industry, Oh, the local newspaper here.
I remember the first time I took a tour like
(06:04):
twenty five years ago the Sacramento b giant building covering
an entire city block. I don't know how many hundreds
or thousands employees they have now they got like three.
It's because technology changed and a free press is utterly
completely fundamental to a functioning democracy, and there's no replacing
journalists with machines.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But they've just.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Gone away because the Internet and Craigslist and all kinds
of different reasons we've talked about before, but yeah, trying
to hang on to people with clipboards reading license plates
when you can get very cheap technology that takes the
license plate down and it costs you nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's just a losing battle.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And acting like it's de facto immoral because people are
going to lose those jobs, or those jobs are just
going away and we'll never come back. It's just it's
not de facto immoral. It's unfortunate. If you're a family
that's dealing with it. Have a great deal of sympathy
for you. But the idea that we are going to
cripple the economy for a handful of very highly paid
(07:01):
workers and their union boss who makes a million bucks
a year and his kid who makes nearly a million
bucks a year from the union and place, No, no,
you don't get to cripple the economy for the rest
of us well, and then just competing against China on
the world stage, they get they're gonna they're going to
do whatever is the most efficient and the cheapest with
everything going forward, and we're just going to hang on
(07:22):
to the old days that ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It'll be interesting to see how that turns out, and
it'll be interesting to see to what extent this becomes
a political issue and part of the campaign. Kamala Harris
came out pretty strong for the workers yesterday. I don't
know where the American public is. I noticed a change
in the tone on Fox where I felt like they
must have sensed that they needed to be more friendly
(07:48):
toward the workers, so they their tones seemed to shift
the lot toward people working hard out there and just
trying to feed their family, and okay, oh that's where
they were yesterday, at least on the show.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
More interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, you can be working hard as hell. I've known
plenty of people working hard as hell to feed their
family that lost their jobs because technology changed, and it
does suck. I wonder if somebody called old the old
man Doosey and said, yeah, I saw you walking out
of your door this morning, one two three Main Street.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's a nice house. Shame of something happened to it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's a nice head of hair you got there. You're
real shame if something happened to that head of hair
or the head or something. I haven't figured this threat out,
working on it, but yeah, but the point is a
menacing anyway. The point is a talking to you in
a menacing manner.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Loves the show.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Click, Let's start the show officially, which includes a news clip.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this How did
it already get to be Thursday? Or October the third,
the year twenty twenty four? Armstrong and getting we approved
of this program. Let's begin the show officially. Then, according
to FCC rules regulations, here we go at Mark.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
The answer is no, and I think there's things we'll
be discussing the Israelis what they're going to do. But
they had all seven of us agree that a writer's
spot that this respond or.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I had trouble hearing that what was happening there.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I speak fluent jet engine Jack, so I would be
more than happy to translate. The reporter asked the President
whether he would have support an Israeli attack on Iran's
nuclear facilities.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
President said, uh no, shocking.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Then he stated that the members of the G seven
organization all agreed that Israel should defend itself, but it
should be proportional.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It should be proportional.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You know, I missed this yesterday, not to don't punch
me in the face for bringing up the vice presidential
debate again, but I had missed.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The first quay.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I ought to the first question, which was about Iran
and Israel and should have been a much longer discussion,
but they needed to get to abortion and climate change,
don't you know?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
The first question was do you support or a pose?
A God?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
What's the right phrase? It's flitted out of my old
man head. It'll come back to me. I'm gonna have
to ask you what do you call it? When you
strike first? It's called a preemptive stuck strike.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That was the question for Margaret Brennan.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Do you support a preemptive strike from Israel on Iran?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
A preemptive strike? They just got hit.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
With two hundred ballistic missiles and responding would be a
preemptive strike.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That's how far left their view is on all this
sort of stuff. Or did she say they're nuclear facilities. No,
they just said on Iran. Okay, yeah, I don't remember.
Just a preemptive strike on Iran. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So when we responded to Japan after December seventh, that
was a preemptive strike. That's a nutty way to look
at the world. And you see Joe Biden looks at
the world that way. No, No, no proportional response. Why
Joe Biden makes Neville Chamberlain look like Winston Churchill. I'm
not sure he's legally technically right on what proportional response
(11:22):
is under the UN law or international law. Anyway, if
they hit you with enough ballistic missiles that they could
have taken out your biggest city, then you have the
right to stop that from happening again, which would be
a pretty big strike. Hell yeah, yeah, a nice aspect.
We're going to see a pretty big strike. And y'a
(11:43):
who's not no longer constrained by Biden's cowardly mumbling, Thank god?
And a great piece in the National Review. Maybe I'll
read from later. I forget who wrote it. On remember
this is all Obama's fault on how the Obama administration
with their ridiculous I Ran nuclear deal and all the
money going to them and thinking that somehow they would
(12:04):
moderate or whatever. And Joe Biden's cut from the same cloth.
Why the hell would you not take out that nuclear
facility now, I mean as a benefit to the United States,
not just to Israel. There's no benefit to us for
a ran our biggest enemy in the world having a nuclear.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Weapon, well, one of our biggest.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Uh did I hear you use the term international law
with a straight face.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, they've killed more people, are you? They've killed more soldiers.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They're behind killing more soldiers than anyone else in the
world over the last I don't remember how many decades
around here.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Anyway, more on that later. How does mailbag look?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It'll be fine, It'll just sure it'll be because it's
not good. No, Yeah, we got to get more clips
of that doc worker cussinatus I really like that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The guy runs the union seventy eight years old. He'd
bust your head open soon as look at you.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh yeah, for even daring to suggest that he shouldn't
be a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
All that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On the way, text line four one, five, two nine
five k FTC. My son has his homecoming dance tomorrow night.
So we were picking out clothes last night. They're required
to wear a tie and a jacket, and is he
like it? He's the same size as me. So we're
going through my closet and getting hi all dressed up.
(13:21):
Very exciting stuff. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Aren't that many places that ask for a jacket these days? No,
certainly not in you know, your Coastalarias. But I think
it's because it's a private school. I don't think they
would do with the public school.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, no good for them, though I like it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Freedom loving quote of the day from Elvis Huxley from
Brave New World. Most men and women will grow to
love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. True.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
At that is true.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, it's an unfortunate and troubling aspect of the whole
liberty question. Most people are fine with being Sheep's a
little insulting, but let's go with sheep. You should bring
that up again later. I have comments on it, but
I don't want to take a mailbag time.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah I will, I'd be delighted I think about it.
A lot. Here's your mailbag and drop us a note.
Would your mail bag at Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Dot com Loyle listener Robert with this note all set
to sync, I'm sorry. Send a link of an article
reporting the Vice president visiting the art areas hit so
hard by Hurricane Helena would of course be accompanied by
a snarky comment.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Instead.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'd like to ask you to remind any leaders or
potential leaders in your audience of this fact. When people
are surrounded by devastation, politicians are the last thing they need.
The higher up the ladder, the less their presence is needed.
After the fires of two thousand and seven, we had
to wait for hours to get to our home because
President Bush was touring something close by. We're eventually allowed
to see if all of our possessions had burned up.
(14:55):
So no real loss, I guess. But my real point
is all VIPs do is slow down prop I hated
it in the military, and I hate.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It more now. I don't doubt that a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
And all those people who are critical of leaders not
forcing a dog and pony show just to get some
good press. What on God's green earth do you think
politicians canna accomplished by visiting. They can do all they
need from far, far away.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I've been saying that forever.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Is there any advantage whatsoever to the person seeing it,
especially up close the very least, fly over with a
helicopter and look at it. But the blocking off all
the roads and the secret service and this and that,
so you can walk along in your regular jacket and
jeans with your arm around someone. So on the evening
(15:42):
news it looks like you care about Americans. We got
to get over that. Yeah, that's not for the people there.
Let's see. Oh that's interesting, but it's long. We'll get
to it later. Guys sent you. Aaron writes an article
about a couple of Harvard students who've already demonstrated how
to use Meta's new smart glasses. There's more to that,
(16:04):
but we talked about this the other day. Meta appears
to have a hit on its hand, that smart glasses
have been streamlined and simplified, and now it's mostly a
camera and video well, a video camera slash camera that
you can quickly start recording, you know, if your kids
do something cute or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You don't have to bust out your phone.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, I was at the sunglass Hut and they're overpriced
sunglasses in the mall yesterday and they said they are
sold out constantly of the ray bands with that technology
in them, people want to ask them.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Here's the interesting part.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
A couple of Harved students have already demonstrated how to
use Meta's new smart glasses coupled with AI to in
real time identify people along with their names, phone numbers, addresses, relatives,
and any other information you need to know about them.
They show themselves chatting up strangers as if they know them,
with information their tool gives them in real time.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I gotta believe that's the future for everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You walk around with a headset on that identifies people's
faces and gives you their name, address, probably in the future,
social Security number and a health situation. And for what
it's worth, Jared in Missouri, it says, I'm an undecided
voter in a swing state. I'm more comfortable now, much
more voting for Trump than I was having seen jd vance.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
So who knows might make a difference around the edges.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Anybody wear the smart glasses or any other comment text
line four one five two nine five kftc.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So just reading the Wall Street Journal op ed about
Joe Biden restraining Israel rather than trying to restrain Iran.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Maybe we'll get into that later. That's quite the debate.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I know more and more people in my political orbit
that Lad Lean my direction, who are really against being
involved in this international stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That is a wave that is sweeping the right.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, yeah, it is. That's it's interesting. It comes in cycles.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So more on that line.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Some of the impulses behind it are are good ones.
I think they're just misguided at times as well. But
we'll talk about it. So any luck with getting that clip, guys,
Jen Pasaki dig this, will you please?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Talking about Douglas M.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Hoff the second Gentleman soon to be perhaps the first gentleman.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Interesting part of how people have talked about.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Your role here is how your role.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure
you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
think that's.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Part of the role you might play as first.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Gentleman's funny, I've started to think a lot about this.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I've always been like this. My dad was like this.
It made me throw up again.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
It made me throw up the first time I heard
it two days ago, and it made me throw up again.
The redefining masculine, I hate that core sort of crap
and just a general even without the details we're about
to get to. I just hate that sort of Oh
because you're kind of subservient and you'll be in a
lower power role than your wife. That's so so fantastic
(18:57):
and so cool and something we should just went light.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh it's so great. Yeah, exactly. So that's a number one.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The entire premise that the topic is disgusting and vomit worthy,
but the subject of it makes it even more so.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Douglas M Hoff, husband of Kamala Harris, who is not
running for office, but it was being praised by lefty
media's reinventing masculinity along with old coach.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I used to ride my bike in my hometown. I'm
proud of that service, reinventing masculinity. The rest of it.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So Douglas m Hoff, who impregnated his kid's nanny then
had her have an abortion. Perhaps she was one hundred
percent in favor of the abortion. I'm not saying it
was the forced or anything like that. But okay, so
knocking up your nanny and then having an abortion is
reinventing manhood. Okay, Well, this story has just come out
as well. Vice President Harris husband is accused of slapping
(19:56):
execs girlfriend for flirting with a valet worker a ritzy gala.
This is in con In twenty twelve, a new report
A lot to hate in this story.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You're in con Let's start there aren't Jeff Carthy.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Three sources for this story who talked to The Daily
Mail but have asked not to be named due to
fear of retaliation from em Hooff, the White House, etc.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So what are the participants again? Doug em Hoff his
girlfriend at the time.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
His girlfriend at the time, But then but the date
you gave, So that's when people started talking twenty twelve,
how long have they been married? But he started dating
her not long after that, in twenty thirteen. I didn't
realize this started dating Harris. I thought they'd been married
together longer than that. I didn't realize that. No, No,
(20:50):
he's a rich entertainment lawyer and he'd been dating this
woman for three or four months. Took her on a
whirldwind trip to the south of France, having a big
time I'm big party, a gala. They're out late at night,
there's a huge line for cabs and rides and such,
and she starts flirting with the like the conscierge or
(21:12):
whoever was in charge of the car line, offering a tip.
And allegedly this guy didn't like Imaohoff, didn't like her
flirting and slapped her hard in the face, spun her around.
She slapped him back, then got in a cab she
jumped in after she called friends, crying and explaining what
(21:33):
had happened and how sickening it was, and and and
they broke up that night, but she told multiple friends
about it at the time. So what is the greater
significance of this. It's a scandal, it's a distraction. Kamala
(21:58):
will have to explain why she's with a guy who
knocks up nannies and slaps dates. Kamala, who I criticize
plenty on the show, does not strike me as a
sort of woman that would put up with any crap
from her husband.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So he must not be like that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Now, No, no, no, I don't think she would put
up with domestic violence or even anything close to it.
I don't feel like I feel like she's a bit
of a puppet, honestly. But so, you know, will this matter?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's interesting. It's difficult to.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Describe why it would or even should matter, since the
guy isn't running for office, but the brave independent woman
who for gonna be the first president and is you know,
a role model? Blah blah blah. Being with a guy
like that, that that just that takes the bloom off
the rose. That's that's not a good look. Yeah, I
(22:59):
don't I don't know. I actually what I think about it,
I don't want to hear anymore. He's reinventing manhood as
a guy who sexes up the nanny, gets her pregnant,
and then perhaps slapped his girlfriend, ending his last relationship.
Enough with the reinventing manhood crap. Yeah, personally, I've done
neither one of those and don't claim to be reinventing anything. Yeah,
(23:25):
it's ugly. I tell you what we have for years said.
The whole First Lady thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It looks you want to do a charity thing. I
think that's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You want to raise money for a worthy cause or
work to end bullying in school or whatever. I have
nothing against that, but there is no constitutional role for
the first partner. And then the fact that they have whatever,
you know, sex, there the fact that they're expected to
have an agenda and they have a staff and all
these different sort of things whatever. On the other hand,
the spouse of the candidate and or president, they're foibles,
(24:01):
real and imagined, have been one hundred fair game in
years past, especially if it's a Republican Oh yeah, yeh, yeah,
I don't know. You know, Trump's got a bit of
baggage in the way he treats women. So I don't
know that anybody would switch candidates over.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
This sort of story.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Might make you a little less enthusiastic to go to
the rally if you hear this, I guess right, or
turnout vote? Yeah, it's about turnout, Jack, It's all about turnout.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
People don't have to switch, they just have to stay home.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So Kama Harril the Pablon B said the campaign is
taking their Harris twenty twenty four wife Beater t shirts.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Off of the website.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You can still buy the T shirts, sweatshirts, and hats,
but the tank top.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If you WI no longer for sale? Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, yeah, you get into politics, and that's the sort
of thing that you got to be expecting.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I guess if you hit women in the face, Uh yeah,
I don't know. You think it happened? I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I mean there are three people at the contemporaneously who said, yeah,
she immediately said exactly what had happened, called us was crying, shocked, horrified,
broke up with him, described it in details consistently.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I don't think they were eyewitnesses.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So it came out in October, the famous October surprise.
Everybody wonders if there's any OPO research hanging out there
that people are going to unleash this month. It's hard
to imagine that there's anything new on Donald Trump because
this is his third time running as the nominee for
the Republican Party, and you'd think if they had any
it would be out by now. But there still could
(26:03):
be some stuff out there on Kamala Harrison. It just
shows you the scrutiny level running for presidents just different.
I guess because there she was vice presidential candidate for
Biden last time around. A lot of attention on that election,
and somehow this story didn't surface then, but a surface now.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
If it turns out to be bunk, we'll absolutely say so.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The most famous one that I can remember in my
lifetime is the George W. Bush Dui story that he'd
been governor of Texas twice, and somehow that stayed hidden.
But there it was, just days before the election in
twenty twenty, and that story came out back back, and
you have to remember what life was like back then.
(26:50):
That was a oh my god. Whereas now I'm just
I'm not sure what had any effect. I mean, you
pretty much have to have ten bodies in your basement
for it to even move the needle.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I think I'm not.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Sure do u I would be four five years adequate.
I'm not sure Dui driving drunk from decades ago would
would hardly even make the headlines anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I think it's interesting though, that an accusation like whether
Tim Walls was indeed in China during the or Hong
Kong during the ten Men Square massacre, or whether he
arrived there a couple of months later and just was
exaggerating to make the story more exciting, is really of
no great significance, although I think a serial fabuloust. We've
(27:38):
had enough of Joe Biden and his bowl crap. But
the fact that Walls was so awful at answering the question, Hey,
what's with the discrepancy here? You've been claiming this and
it's not true. And the fact that he went into
a babbling, sputtering web of half truth in nonsense and irrelevancies.
(28:01):
I mean, that says something about the guy, not saying,
you know, it was a long time ago. I got
the timetable long but it's tragic and just reminds us
how precious freedom is. The fact that he can't do
that says something about the guy. No matter the you know,
insignificance of the allegation. I think one of the other
branches of government, the judicial branch, with the Supreme Court
(28:22):
at the top of it, starts it's a new session
next Monday, first Monday in October, and what are the
big cases going to be this time around? We can
check in on that if you want to a little
bit late. I hope there aren't any controversial ones this time.
I hope it's all abortion, nothing but abortion, geez, because
that's the only topic I'm interested in, and we got
(28:43):
Katie's headlines coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Looking forward to it. Here's some good news.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
The Federal Reserve has dropped interest rates, so you need

but man, there's more coming out about this Daggett guy
who runs the union for the longshoreman and uh what
(30:14):
a guy straight out of a movie, a mob movie

strong and Getty on Demand or better yet, subscribe. Right now,
let's figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story
with Katie Greed.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Katie, thank you guys.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Starting with NBC News Israel, you, an ambassador says Iran
response will be greater than they could have ever imagined.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, you're so used to that talk out of the
Middle East, and often it doesn't live up to that.
But it's usually not out of Israel saying those sorts
of things. When Israel says those sorts of things, those
sorts of things usually happen.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Also, Yeah, former.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Ambassador to the United States from Israel, got his name
just flitted out of my head.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I read I read his book years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Anyway, he was on MSNBC yesterday advocating that Israel takeout
the Ayatola or leadership in Iran the same way they've
done with Hezbola. Oh, that would be something basically going
after regime change.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yeah, boy, would that be a lovely thing.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
It's a tough nut to crack, you're pro if they
could pull it off well in principle. Yeah, but that's
a complicated topic because what comes next.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
ABC News Russia and Ukraine launch attack drones at each
other in overnight strikes.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Russia took a town that had been holding out for
two years, Keytown.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Not good news yesterday.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
From CNN.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
China's Coastguard claims to have entered the Arctic Ocean for
the first time as it ramps up security ties with Russia.
NPR judge unseals new evidence against Trump in the January
sixth election interference case.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, and why was it unsealed in October before an election?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
That's a pretty decent question. Well, I'll talk more about
that later.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, and it's not really new evidence, it's the old
evidence having been cumbed through a bit to remove anything
that Supreme Court deemed, you know, unacceptable because of presidential.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Immunity for official duties.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Whether it's just a repackaging, whether it's new or exactly
the same, Why release that weeks before a presidential election
unless you're trying to remind people or give them new
information about why you shouldn't like Donald Trump. That's precisely it. Yeah,
there's zero chance the trial's going to take place now,
just had the prosecutor lay out the prosecution for some reason.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Now this one's from Politico. It's less the headline and more.
What was in the article, but the headline is eight
body language tells from.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
The vice presidential debate.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Vance's beard is masculine, showing aggression and anti feminist values,
while Wall's wide eyes showed his passion.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Oh wow, that changes the way I saw the debate.
There business in this scenario. I have an IQ below seventy.
I like this one from the New York Times yesterday.
Vance would have been better served by a more conservative tie.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Future raw silk is.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Something you wear to summer garden parties, not debates, said
one expert.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I agree completely, Thank you for that.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
This one coming from Hanson. Another Hanson demand. The San
Diego Padres beat the Braves five to four the nl
wild Card. They now face the Dodgers in the NLDS
Game one on Saturday on Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
That'll be fun. That will be fun.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
In other MLB playoff news, some other teams won as well.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah. I gotta get past this first wild card round
before I really get into this series.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
This one's just for you Jack from the New York Post.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Wilt Smith's fart on men in black set that led
to three hour cast and crew evacuation.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Director reveals you know what to eat.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Not sure, but the director quote from him said, what
happened was Wilt Smith is a farter.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Wow, that's this is childish. And Nidi had a Katie
be better, do better than this?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Okay, be better? Yeah that was green.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I'm not mad enough to beat down Chris Rock, but
I'm disappointed.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Okay, Well, I'll take it. The meme of the day.
This is just a text meme.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
It says, fun fact American made product don't get stuck
on cargo ships.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
That is good. I like that, Yeah, I like it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And finally the Babylon Bee Walls clarifies that he meant
the Tianamen Square Chinese buffet in Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Oh hilarious. Well you left out.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I thought you're gonna get to the shocking headline that
Fat Bear Week has been marred by a bear murder.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
What Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And male on female violence too, speaking of toxic masculinity,
I feel like Fat Bear Week, which I was unaware
of until yesterday, is going to go the direction of
Shark Week, in which it just gets so much attention
that it's it becomes something else.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Because I saw it on the TV. Blige to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah, it's on the TV right now as you're talking
about it, so it's become the thing.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Bear four sixty nine murdered there four o two, missus
four oh two while everybody was watching the popular webcam.
Oh my god, so you're trying to like watch with
your kids. Look how fat that berries. And one of
the bears kills another bear. Oh yes, wild animiles, folks
