Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hits another eat your vegetables and You'll get dessert segment
on the Armstrong and Getty Show, the vegetables being the
stupid election story of the day, which is important but dumb,
and then the dessert will be Hanson, our executive producer, claims,
we've got the song that will change the election, that
it's very entertaining coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm sorry, it sounded like you said the song that
will change the election exactly what I said.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Now you can maintain if you like you cynical man,
I am. The big political story of the day is
what do you call it? Silly, stupid, dumb, whatever. But
this is the flip side of, you know, in a
time of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
or being the smartest horse or something.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm not sure exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
If dumb rhetoric is ruling the media, it takes fire
to fight fire, it takes dumb to fight dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's what I say.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's a different approach is so I'm going with the
whole Puerto Rico is garbage flap was stupid also and
shouldn't have been covered at all.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right, and how do you fight that? And this one
is stupid?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You're going with the Well, if the coin of the
realm is stupid stories.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, yeah, they bring it absure toity, We bring a stupidity.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's the Washington way. No kidding, that's really good.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
So we're on day four of the mainstream media writing
about and talking about the comedian's joke about Puerto Rico,
which is freaking unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Who was on the stage briefly hours and hours before
Trump was even in the building.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, okay, mainstream media not as interested in And that
was a comedian again, like Joe just said, surrogate hours
away from the current candidate himself. This is the actual
president of the United States, Joe Biden last night talking
about the Puerto Rico story.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Here we go or Puerto Rico where I'm in my
home state of Delaware.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
They're good, decent, honorable people.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
The only garbage I see out there are his supporters.
The White House blames a missing apostrophe from the interpretation
of the comments the official transcript of what the President
of the United States said, And you do have to
be reminded that Joe Biden is the sitting president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The official transcript.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It says, the only garbage I see floating out there
is his supporters with an apostrophe. Yes, his demonization of
Latinos is unconscient. That could be true. I'm not even
sure it's not true. But as you know, if it
were Trump saying this sort of thing, he would not
be getting the benefit of the doubt from any.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And it would be a four day apparently maybe five days.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, if Trump said it clear up till election day
and if he's elected president, they would quote this forever,
like he promised to be a dictator on day one,
he promised a blood bath. He called you said, there
were good people on both sides, right, and it would
live on forever. But because it's Biden, they're going with no,
(03:41):
there was an apostrophe in there, and if you didn't
hear it, well then you're just, you know, a Trump
lunatic or something like that. Here's Trump responding to what
Biden said please forgive him for he not knoweth what.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
He said, which I actually think is a pretty good reason.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It's terrible, terrible, terrible to say a thing like that,
But he really doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
He really, honestly he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
And I'm convinced that he likes me more than he
likes Kamala Convil.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But that's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I don't know where that came from, but I like
the idea of just mocking the guy's brain, and I
think it's probably a pretty good idea. As Britt Hume
tweeted out a Brit Hume of Fox, It's one thing
for media outlets to dismiss Biden's calling Trump supporters garbage
as an idiotic remark by a senile old man long
prone to gaffs, But to pretend he didn't say it,
(04:40):
or to ignore it completely is another matter. Entirely an
example of media corrupted by politics.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I would agree with that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, was on CNN when
this was blowing up yesterday. He said, I'm giving you
my fresh reaction to it. I would never insult the
good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they
chose to support a candidate that I didn't support, which
is a really good way to just like have it
be over and you don't have to deal with it anymore,
(05:07):
although he was.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Not denying its existence or significance, which I thought was interesting.
As Josh Shapiro continues to angle for the presidency and
presumably continues to work on his Barack Obomba imitation.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kamala could have chosen him as a VP and would
have been in much better shape. But Kamala was asked
today about the garbage trash comments. This is what she
said President Biden about garbage.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Listen. I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But let me be claire.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on
who they vote for. As you've heard in my speech
last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that
the work that I do it's about representing all the people,
whether they support me or not. And as President of
(06:07):
the I sais I will be a president.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
For all Americans, whether you.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Vote for me or not.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know, that was a crock crap, but it was
it was well done.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, that was fine, A typical sort of thing to do.
And I heard part of her speech last night on
the Ellipse drawing the parallels to January sixth sixty thousand
people showed up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's a hell of a crowd. I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I mean, this is politics and this is common I
couldn't quite square the whole. I'm the champion of all
of you, no matter who you vote for. But he's
an evil dictator and we all know it. Those don't
quite fit together because the people who vote for him,
in your mind know he's an evil dictator and are
still voting for him, but you're claiming that you like
them and whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't know. That doesn't matter, and it's all.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
In the recent history of it is okay, you're running
to be a bland, run of the mill, moderate Democrat,
but then your old boss there, he'd ended up governing
like Jay Guavera. So you just you have no credibility,
especially given the only policy pronouncements you've made.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Throughout your career have been wildly left.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
So I see Tim Walls is up on CBS and
he's being asked about the Puerto Rico thing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
My question is.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
If this actually is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it could be.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
How in the last five days before election time are
we discussing for multiple news cycles a comedian's joke and
this whole trash, senile.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Old man thing. I mean, you would think if.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's the most important election of our lifetimes, we'd be
heavy into border policy, economic policy, something sure the last days,
but we're not. So is that just sprint flailing DF?
Is that just the nature of media? Is that what
that means?
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think it's it's also the nature of turnout in
a situation where there's nobody left to persuade, and so
they're trying to go with all the levers of the
most base human emotions anger, fear, greed.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Haven't gone to lust yet. I hope they will.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
But yeah, so it's it's really it's the caveman emotions
period of the race.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So Biden cleaned it up fairly quickly, saying that's not
what he meant. My personal stance is a guy who
talks for a living, is I regularly say things that
I wish I had worded differently or went too far,
and would like the ability to say that's not what
I meant.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And that's the end of it, as opposed to once
you say something, it's stamped in the National archives for
all of history, and that's what you meant and we
know it, and just seems like a silly way to
run conversations.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Appreciate your taking the high road when the other side
has the entire might of the media and academia and
entertainment and they're taking the low road. At some point,
you have to win elections, though, even if the methodology
is stupid, but.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Maybe part of it is. I actually believe they're making
a mistake. I think making that comedian's Puerto Rico joke
a four day story is not good for Kamala Harris
to have that be your closing four days of the
last week.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What so my final comment on the Joe Biden the
only garbage I see is his supporter's comment is he
is an elderly man in the grips of dementia and
what he sees says should not be taken seriously in
the least. The obvious reply to which is he's the
(09:43):
effinger President Joe.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
To which I, in turn reply, yeah, got a point,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's amazing how scary is that I've been counting. I've
done it on the air some I've been counting the
weeks that he is still Potus praying with the p
get through it without some sort of cataclysm.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Right, some giant mead quick reaction, and like you know,
Cuban missile crisis type decisions need to be made.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Not a chance he could do that.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You have a Cuban missile crisis type situation where JFK
had to make some of the biggest decisions in our
nation's history with no sleep over days.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
We do not have a president that could do that.
Other people would have to do.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It for him, which is frightened, right, And I wonder
I was noodling this through before the show. I wonder
has there been some sort of triple classified communications sent
to some of the evil doers on the planet from
Giggles herself. I don't know, Joe Biden, Blink and Sullivan,
(10:48):
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I don't know, some
cabal of the highest echelons of American power saying, you know,
the president's failing badly and we know it too, But
guess what, we're all unified that if you all get nuts.
We're gonna go full on, screaming eagle on you, so
just do not exploit that.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Wouldn't surprise me that they've made it clear, probably blinking
Secretary of State. No people are there are people in charge.
Me and sect deaf Austin everybody, we're still in charge.
Don't think that there's gonna be any hesitation to react.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I wonder whether they got like the Speaker of the
House and the minority leader of the Senate to sign
on and say hey, we're with them.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Could be very well. Could be, Man, I'll be interesting
history to read. Okay, so we got through the vegetables.
We promised you dessert. I don't even know what this is.
Hanson said, this is a game changer for the election.
This music, let's hear it, Trump, I vote.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You know what this is. This is a whole bunch
of happy Puerto.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Ricans showing that they're not upset they're voting for Donald Drums.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm digging this, Yes, Hanson, what do you know about this?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I was watching the video earlier, and good job whoever
put this together to push back on the whole Puerto
Ricans trash thing immediately.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, why the speed with which this stuff comes down now.
I mean it's oh, I love I love the Caribbean
feel and the rhythms and the steel drums and everything
since I was a little kid.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Us you want to drink. Even Commo is down with
this tune. Everybody loves it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Okay, we'll be back soon with more of the news
of the day.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So you got to see the video.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It starts in an office full of Puerto Ricans and
then goes down the street with all these different vehicles
and flags and everything like that to try to make
thinks they.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
May be Cubans, aren't they. I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It seems pretty clear to me that they're trying to
make it seem like, you know, people of island nature
who are brown are all into Donald Trump. Days after
the whole Puerto Rican thing, the idea that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hispanic people are some sort of electoral monolith has been fictious.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's like first that uttered by Absolutely the video is great.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
If you haven't seen it, we'll post that at Armstrong
and Getty dot com. So the whole thing is stupid, right,
The joke was stupid, And then Biden responded to it,
and now he's on the hook for it. And so
they haven't had Biden out there campaigning for him, which
in political circles has been a story not so much
(14:16):
to me for obvious reasons. He's unpopular and he's got
his brain don't work, right. Why would you have an
unpopular president who's brain doesn't work come out and campaign
for you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But anyway, Tim Wall, and where is that on the
list of most important issues for Americans?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
As well? You know, again the belt weigh's bizarre self obsession.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
But anyway, the old coach, Tim Wall's just a good
old small town Nebraska, Minnesota communist coach who believes funded
that organization that taught you how to put drugs up
your butt, has discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
On the show Mind your Own Dawn Business.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I'm just a regular Midwest farmer who believes in late
term abortion, in communism, just like everybody else, who wears.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Flannel, and I'm a knucklehead at times. But he was
asked out up with Biden, and this is what he
said just a little bit ago.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
You know, there has been some reporting that President Biden
has been sidelined during this campaign. One is there any
truth to that, and if not, is this an example
of maybe why he should be sidelined.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Well, look, President Biden's the president of the United States,
he's running it. Vice President Harris is our candidate and
will be the next president. And I think there's two
different positions there. The Vice president is out speaking about
the things that we need to be done for the country.
She's talking about all of those issues that matter to folks.
And the president's doing what he needs to do, and
that's making sure our country is reducing inflation, making sure
(15:37):
that we're taking our leadership role in the world where
American values are front and center.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So no, it doesn't. These are just two different positions,
all right.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
So the president's out doing what he needs to do,
stepping on rakes that make everybody's life more difficult.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So keep in mind out of his face is what
Tim Mals was thinking. Oh man, please let it be
over soon.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
No, I know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, And to be fair, here's a stupid story the
New York Post had the other day. Did you either
one about Tim Wall's ex girlfriend from back.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
In the day, Oh the Chinese coal.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, she was so distraught when he broke up with
her that she contemplated suicide. Okay, how's that on Tim Walls?
I mean, are you familiar with you as the daughter
of a prominent communist official, Jack? Are you familiar with
the whole love and loss and all that sort of
stuff add seff and very painful.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
One person decides I'm out, and the other person is like,
I didn't want to be out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yes, it's painful, it's awful.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I don't understand why that was even in the New
York Post. I don't go to the New York Post
for that kind of story. I want to see stories
like they said my boobs were too big to be
a fifth grade teacher, and I think they're wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That and Hunter's laptop sooe things the Post does. Yeah,
I just and it goes against my nature. But I
am reminded over and over again by undecided voters saying,
over and over again, yeah, all that stuff y'all are
talking about. I still haven't heard anything of so distins
from Kamlaw. So let's get together Wednesday and talk about
(17:05):
the election next week.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, that's enough trash and garbage. We'll move on.
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Jadie Vance is doing Joe Rogan's podcast today. Trump's podcast
with Joe Rogan has been seen sixty million times. You
could go on Face the Nation and be seen by
a million people maybe, or he could go on Joe
Rogan and be seen sixty million times. Or a better
(17:37):
example would be since he refused to go on sixty minutes,
which is a tradition, he could have gone on sixty
minutes and been seen by thirteen million maybe, but they
sixty million with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Uh jad Van's doing today.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Kamala Harris refused to do the Joe Rogan podcast, saying
he wanted her to go to Austin.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
She won't. Okay, that's getting out of it.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So we could have two presidents elected in a row,
Biden Harris, who went out of their way to not
expose themselves because they were terrible twice in a row.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm reminded of our theme of you know,
a month ago or whatever, and yet they're tied.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, just much of situation because you're running against Trump
and half of America can't stand him. Right.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Supreme Court cleared the way today for Virginia officials to
remove about sixteen hundred voters from the state's registration roles
less than one week before the presidential election.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The way some of this is worded in the WAPO
had a bunch of candaders on the rolls. I'm not
sure that's a fair assessment.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Governor Young can ask the justices to interview after intervene
after two lower courts blocked his efforts to cancel the
registrations of voters who seem to.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Be non citizens.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And as always, since it's left the media, they've got
to point out non citizen voting is extremely rare. One
of my finest tweets of all time. I wish I
had it in front of me, because I worked on
the wording a bit. Was it had something the effect
of non citizens don't vote, Well, we would like to
make sure of that they don't vote. How do you
(19:16):
know you won't let us check you're a racist? Well,
there's no mechanism for uncovering voter fraud and non voter voting,
and they won't permit a mechanism to function. And they
simultaneously claim the reason there's no need for checking into
non citizen voting is because there isn't any.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And if even if there were only a dozen nationwide,
if you could easily stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Why wouldn't you. We don't need a Geiger counter. There's
no radiation here.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, wait, is there any argument? What was the argument
for leaving those names on the voter roll?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
They might actually be citizens, the information's outdated or something,
and you're disenfranchising them.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Gotcha, that's the argument. I want to get back to
the Supreme Court and.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The fact that they are an issue in the election,
But first to the topic of the security of the
ballot in people's perception of it, which is incredibly important.
Jonathan Turley was on Fox and Friends and said the
following We'll start with sixty.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Michael, but we've seen this pattern. You have a sort
of a cottage industry of registering people. There's a lot
of money from the parties, from the government to register,
and they are registered by obviously the number of people
that they can effectively harvest or get registrations from, and
that produces a rather negative incentive. You know, some of
(20:46):
these people begin to cut corners or according to some
of these accusations, just knowingly create in valid registrations. So
it's good that they're picking it up. We just don't
know the scope of this. We're seeing this in multiple districts.
And that's what we don't quite know at this point.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh man, this could be the ugly and not in
the least bit entertaining part of the post election day
stuff is all the legal wrangling and just waiting days
or weeks or hopefully not months for various rulings and uh.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And you've got the Democrat dominated states like California, for instance,
that you're automatically registered to vote when you register your
car or get a driver's license. I think it is,
and you've got to affirmatively state wholl no, stop, don't
do this, I'm a non citizen. Otherwise you're assumed, of course,
to be a citizen in eligible to vote. And whether
(21:43):
it's an oversight or malfeasance or as Turtley was suggesting,
there's a lot of money in these registration drives and
you get paid per you know, scalp as it were,
there are all sorts of perverse incentives to do the
wrong thing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
In California, you're automatically registered to vote when you get
your abortion of your second change.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh that was good. I guess adamants are feeling very
red meaty today. Good good, Ah, do you want to
hear more from Turley. Ah, sure, part of the figures.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
There are a lot of states have tried to make
it easier to register. There's a lot of money going
to registration drives, but that can be a perfect storm
when when those are in the hands of the wrong people.
And so we're seeing a lot of these these forms
that are highly suspicious and potentially criminal, but many of
these are simply invalid, and so these officials are trying
(22:33):
to do a catch up game because you know, we
don't have a lot of runway here. When these registration
forms come in, they've got to spot them, pull them,
investigate them.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And we've got an election barreling down this track.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Well that's totally from yesterday, and this is breaking now.
The Trump people are suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania, saying they're
turning away Trump voters, are not allowing Trump voters to
be registered or something. They're going to be endless lawsuits
around this if it's super super close.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Allegedly, there was a huge flood of conservative voters trying
to register and the computers went down midday and so
on the last day to register, half the day.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Was cut off.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sorry, folks, I mean computer systems screw up all the time.
It could be one hundred percent innocent, or it could
be malfeasance of the highest order. But in an atmosphere
of mistrust and playing fast and loose with ballot securities,
people are on the alert.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We it's so week from today will be the day
after the election? Will we be talking about this crap?
Or will we know who the president is? Your guests,
they'll still be counting.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I guess that we will know. I think we'll have
a fairly decisive result. Although my level of confidence is
fifty two percent. I agree, But yeah, well, within my
personal margin of error. You have, no you have a
personal margin of error within your body. So I don't
(24:18):
particularly care who you all vote for or what you do.
I'm a I'm a small libertarian. I believe in free
will and free thought and that sort of thing. But
I would tell you this, for all of Trump's flaws,
you got some of the absolutely odious policies being pushed
by Kamalin company. Like you know, the editorial board in
the Wall Street Journal was right in the other day
(24:39):
about how Kamala was asked at a CNN town hall
last week, and of course This got next to no
attention because the Left owns the media.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Whether she supports packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
By adding three justices, and as they point out, that
was a great chance to present herself as a a
pair of hands to hold the union. Miss Harris wants
to win so badly among disaffected Republicans. She's taken a
bragging about a Dick Cheney endorsement. Right, So they asked
her about court packing, Harris says, and I quote, American
(25:16):
people increasingly are losing confidence in the Supreme Court in
large part because of the behavior of certain members of
that court and because of certain rulings, including the Dobbs
decision and taking away a president that's been in place
for fifty years protecting a woman's right to make a
decisions about her own body. So I do believe that
there should be some kind of reform of the court,
and we can study what that actually looks like.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So, whether it's packing the court or imposing quote unquote
with ethics rules which are essentially congressional control over which
justice gets to hear which case, she is for utterly
trashing the Supreme Court and the courts as an independent
branch of government.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That is enormous.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Trump is an a hole, okay, and he's rude and
he's a loose cannon. But somebody openly proposing to pack
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I mean, even my liberal.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
History professor said, yeah, FDR went way too far. Even
his own party said, hey, that's being a dictator. That's obscene,
and they stopped him in his tracks.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Well that's the argument Neil Ferguson, the historian who we
really like, was making in the Telegraph. I guess the
other day that who's who's the fascist here talking about
Biden Harris and wanting to expand the Supreme Court and
pack it full of people from their sides so it
will dominate for years to come. End the filibuster, you know,
the workaround Supreme Court, I mean student loan stuff, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So come on, none of the fact they want to
end this filibuster for the purpose of packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Right, different topic. Do you remember those tennis rackets you
gave me? Oh goodness, yeah, your family, your kids were grown.
You must have decided you were no longer going to
play tennis. I guess, having not played it in many moons. Yes,
you gave me tennis records, which luckily we have because
(27:05):
Henry and I went and played tennis yesterday using them.
Oh crazy, and that was really fun playing that for
a while. I hadn't done that in a while. I
can see why pickle ball. I have not played pickleball yet,
but watching it, I can see why it's popular because
it looks like it's easier to do than tennis. If
you're not, you know, a good tennis player, or young
enough or in shape enough to do all of that
(27:27):
running well, you have to do so much running around
when you if you play tennis with the full court,
we didn't. I got it down to the smaller squares
because I mean, you play on a full tennis court,
you were running like crazy. I was getting so winded.
And you do a lot of chasing the tennis balls.
Unless you got a hundred balls in your pocket, you
do a lot of okay, that's both of them.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Let's you go get that one. Ok get that one?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, A lot of doing that playing tennis
I hadn't played in many, many years. I have a
feeling there's a decent chance the rackets go back into
the closet for another decade or so.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Before I give them to someone else. But we had
a good time yesterday, fair enough. It's the circle of
life or something.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I hadn't been on a tennis court in years.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I played a lot in high school, played a lot
of tennis, but I hadn't been on a tennis court
in many, many years.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I was on there thinking about the guys, you know, at.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
The top levels now who serve one hundred and forty
miles an hour, and trying to picture that coming at
you from that distance. Holy cow, how do you even
see it, let alone get a racket on it with
the desire to hit it to a certain spot.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Right, Yeah, there are a couple of sports.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Golf is the other one that leaves to mind that
the equipment has changed the game so completely it's out
of control. Yeah, I've you know, I've I've said many
times when discussing the world of golf, where you got
guys sometimes driving.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It four hundred yards now, oh really.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Three four hundred It happens occasionally, like downhill or I
did not know that, And like the and like average
PGA tour pro can carry the ball three hundred and
ten yards in the air, and so like Arnold Palmer,
even with his giant wang, how far would he have
hit it back in the sixties. Choosing not to address that,
he says he'd probably hit a two sixty five total
(29:15):
in flitting rollout.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Wow like that? Wow wow, Well that's that's a completely
different thing then. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Well, And as I often say to people, if you
went to a baseball game and guy started hitting eight
hundred foot home runs, wouldn't that be absurd?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Well?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, of course it would be.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So do you think his enormous genitalia that Trump told
us about help help torticle?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You see what happened there?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I saw it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I took the high road and he decided to exploit it,
the low road being left to him.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Do you think that helped his gamersays for humor in
your world? Or I can't believe that was a story
for a day or two. Oh in the last two
weeks of the election, we.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Are supposed to not vote for Trump because he made
Arnold Palmer had unusually right.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I'm not even going to go there. It's just so stupid.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The most important election of our lifetime, and the closing
discussions are about Arl Schwarzeneger's driver and Puerto Rico being
trash or not.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And Gerold Palmer Schwarzenegger whatever. I had known nothing about
the big German's genitals. The Austrian do you well, given
his steroid abuse, I can hazard.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
To guess yes, yeah, that's true. Anyway, where was I? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And if you are, for instance, a person who grew
up reading the biographies of the founding fathers and studying
the Constitution, the Federalists papers exactly, and the ideas that
brought this country from the monarchies and wars of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the fact that it's come down
(30:53):
to this is profoundly discouraged.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
We got more in the way, stay with us, pretty
decent economic news grew at two point eight percent. I
don't know if that's going to have any effect on
the election or.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Not, but it's good for America.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Probably decreases the chance of the FED slowing rates because
it's still pretty robust.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Right, So good news is bad news, right, the worst
news is good news. So coming up next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The audio at least is this is a radio show
slash podcast audio only of a commercial suggesting that the
wives and girlfriends of Trump voters are so terrified of
their men that they are afraid of voting their conscience,
but that they should be brave and in the secrecy
(31:46):
of the booth vote for common lift they want. So
that coming up incredibly condescending and insulting, like a lot
of lefty politics are. I thought this was a good,
a really great encouraging son if indeed Trump were to
win the election.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
This is a rarity. Excuse me, but.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The name of billionaire investor John Paulson has been floated
publicly as a Treasury secretary, and normally those names are
kept under wraps until the election. For some reason, people
are talking about him fairly openly, and this Paulson character
said he would enthusiastically work with Elon Musk to enact
(32:31):
massive federal spending cuts if he becomes Treasury secretary. He
said in an interview that this priority would be extending
the twenty seventeen tax cuts, followed by wers.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh that is such.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the love of all that is holy,
just came out and endorsed Kamala Harris, and he repeated
the blatant lie that the twenty seventeen tax cuts were
for billionaires. Wow, and didn't help. And he actually said,
and didn't help anyone else. That is one hundred per
scent a lie.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Stop whining. That's not even spin, that's just plain not true. Wow. Yeah, yeah,
way to go, Arnold, you jackass.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Anyway, Paulson said his priorities would be extending those task cuts,
followed by quote working with Musk to reduce federal spending,
particularly by getting rid of the subsidies for green energy
and the Inflation Reduction Act, which he referred to as
the Green New Deal, which would have been a much
more accurate name. Quote all of these tax subsidies for solar,
for wind, inefficient on economic energy resources, eliminate that. That
(33:33):
brings down spending. Now that would be a drop in
the solar bucket, honestly. But I like the spirit of it.
Anybody talking about reducing the size of government.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
And I don't know how Elon Musk takes on so
many different tasks trying to get us to Mars and
running Tesla in Twitter and robots and all the different things,
but he says he's going to be part of that
big Commissioner or whatever to try to reduce waste and
be more efficient in government. I think as a businessman
he is going to if Trump wins, be highly disappointed.
(34:12):
And how difficult that is when you run into a
bureaucracy that its goal is to stop you. And I'm
not sure how much Trump cares either.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Trump cares about getting credit for it. Yeah, and you
have the problem.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I've mentioned many times that one of the most powerful
lobbyists of the federal government is the government itself.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It is such a colossus now it's difficult to.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fight just never ending growth between the unions and the
self interested people. But I just I like the fact
that somebody is talking about it again. Sure, I mean,
I've got a story here about and it's a bit
in the weeds, but it has to do with bond prices.
But the point is that we have borrowed so much money,
and we are playing to borrow so much more money
next year, in the year after, in the year after that.
(35:04):
The pros are starting to say, yeah, us debt, We're
going to pass on this.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That's not a topic for an election.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
The topic for an election is who called whose supporters
garbage or trash.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
That's what you talk about. Huh. That's a good slender.
Puerto Rico. We do four hours. If you missed an hour,
get it in the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hits another eat your vegetables and You'll get dessert segment
on the Armstrong and Getty Show, the vegetables being the
stupid election story of the day, which is important but dumb,
and then the dessert will be Hanson, our executive producer, claims,
we've got the song that will change the election, that
it's very entertaining coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm sorry, it sounded like you said the song that
will change the election exactly what I said.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Now you can maintain if you like you cynical man,
I am. The big political story of the day is
what do you call it? Silly, stupid, dumb, whatever. But
this is the flip side of, you know, in a
time of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
or being the smartest horse or something.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm not sure exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
If dumb rhetoric is ruling the media, it takes fire
to fight fire, it takes dumb to fight dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's what I say.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's a different approach is so I'm going with the
whole Puerto Rico is garbage flap was stupid also and
shouldn't have been covered at all.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right, and how do you fight that? And this one
is stupid?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You're going with the Well, if the coin of the
realm is stupid stories.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, yeah, they bring it absure toity, We bring a stupidity.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
That's the Washington way. No kidding, that's really good.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
So we're on day four of the mainstream media writing
about and talking about the comedian's joke about Puerto Rico,
which is freaking unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Who was on the stage briefly hours and hours before
Trump was even in the building.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, okay, mainstream media not as interested in And that
was a comedian again, like Joe just said, surrogate hours
away from the current candidate himself. This is the actual
president of the United States, Joe Biden last night talking
about the Puerto Rico story.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Here we go or Puerto Rico where I'm in my
home state of Delaware.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
They're good, decent, honorable people.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
The only garbage I see out there are his supporters.
The White House blames a missing apostrophe from the interpretation
of the comments the official transcript of what the President
of the United States said, And you do have to
be reminded that Joe Biden is the sitting president of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The official transcript.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It says, the only garbage I see floating out there
is his supporters with an apostrophe. Yes, his demonization of
Latinos is unconscient. That could be true. I'm not even
sure it's not true. But as you know, if it
were Trump saying this sort of thing, he would not
be getting the benefit of the doubt from any.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And it would be a four day apparently maybe five days.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, if Trump said it clear up till election day
and if he's elected president, they would quote this forever,
like he promised to be a dictator on day one,
he promised a blood bath. He called you said, there
were good people on both sides, right, and it would
live on forever. But because it's Biden, they're going with no,
(03:41):
there was an apostrophe in there, and if you didn't
hear it, well then you're just, you know, a Trump
lunatic or something like that. Here's Trump responding to what
Biden said please forgive him for he not knoweth what.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
He said, which I actually think is a pretty good reason.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It's terrible, terrible, terrible to say a thing like that,
But he really doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
He really, honestly he doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
And I'm convinced that he likes me more than he
likes Kamala Convil.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But that's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I don't know where that came from, but I like
the idea of just mocking the guy's brain, and I
think it's probably a pretty good idea. As Britt Hume
tweeted out a Brit Hume of Fox, It's one thing
for media outlets to dismiss Biden's calling Trump supporters garbage
as an idiotic remark by a senile old man long
prone to gaffs, But to pretend he didn't say it,
(04:40):
or to ignore it completely is another matter. Entirely an
example of media corrupted by politics.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I would agree with that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, was on CNN when
this was blowing up yesterday. He said, I'm giving you
my fresh reaction to it. I would never insult the
good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they
chose to support a candidate that I didn't support, which
is a really good way to just like have it
be over and you don't have to deal with it anymore,
(05:07):
although he was.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Not denying its existence or significance, which I thought was interesting.
As Josh Shapiro continues to angle for the presidency and
presumably continues to work on his Barack Obomba imitation.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kamala could have chosen him as a VP and would
have been in much better shape. But Kamala was asked
today about the garbage trash comments. This is what she
said President Biden about garbage.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Listen. I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But let me be claire.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on
who they vote for. As you've heard in my speech
last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that
the work that I do it's about representing all the people,
whether they support me or not. And as President of
(06:07):
the I sais I will be a president.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
For all Americans, whether you.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Vote for me or not.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know, that was a crock crap, but it was
it was well done.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, that was fine, A typical sort of thing to do.
And I heard part of her speech last night on
the Ellipse drawing the parallels to January sixth sixty thousand
people showed up.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's a hell of a crowd. I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I mean, this is politics and this is common I
couldn't quite square the whole. I'm the champion of all
of you, no matter who you vote for. But he's
an evil dictator and we all know it. Those don't
quite fit together because the people who vote for him,
in your mind know he's an evil dictator and are
still voting for him, but you're claiming that you like
them and whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't know. That doesn't matter, and it's all.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
In the recent history of it is okay, you're running
to be a bland, run of the mill, moderate Democrat,
but then your old boss there, he'd ended up governing
like Jay Guavera. So you just you have no credibility,
especially given the only policy pronouncements you've made.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Throughout your career have been wildly left.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
So I see Tim Walls is up on CBS and
he's being asked about the Puerto Rico thing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
My question is.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
If this actually is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it could be.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
How in the last five days before election time are
we discussing for multiple news cycles a comedian's joke and
this whole trash, senile.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Old man thing. I mean, you would think if.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's the most important election of our lifetimes, we'd be
heavy into border policy, economic policy, something sure the last days,
but we're not. So is that just sprint flailing DF?
Is that just the nature of media? Is that what
that means?
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think it's it's also the nature of turnout in
a situation where there's nobody left to persuade, and so
they're trying to go with all the levers of the
most base human emotions anger, fear, greed.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Haven't gone to lust yet. I hope they will.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
But yeah, so it's it's really it's the caveman emotions
period of the race.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So Biden cleaned it up fairly quickly, saying that's not
what he meant. My personal stance is a guy who
talks for a living, is I regularly say things that
I wish I had worded differently or went too far,
and would like the ability to say that's not what
I meant.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And that's the end of it, as opposed to once
you say something, it's stamped in the National archives for
all of history, and that's what you meant and we
know it, and just seems like a silly way to
run conversations.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Appreciate your taking the high road when the other side
has the entire might of the media and academia and
entertainment and they're taking the low road. At some point,
you have to win elections, though, even if the methodology
is stupid, but.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Maybe part of it is. I actually believe they're making
a mistake. I think making that comedian's Puerto Rico joke
a four day story is not good for Kamala Harris
to have that be your closing four days of the
last week.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What so my final comment on the Joe Biden the
only garbage I see is his supporter's comment is he
is an elderly man in the grips of dementia and
what he sees says should not be taken seriously in
the least. The obvious reply to which is he's the
(09:43):
effinger President Joe.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
To which I, in turn reply, yeah, got a point,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's amazing how scary is that I've been counting. I've
done it on the air some I've been counting the
weeks that he is still Potus praying with the p
get through it without some sort of cataclysm.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Right, some giant mead quick reaction, and like you know,
Cuban missile crisis type decisions need to be made.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Not a chance he could do that.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You have a Cuban missile crisis type situation where JFK
had to make some of the biggest decisions in our
nation's history with no sleep over days.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
We do not have a president that could do that.
Other people would have to do.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It for him, which is frightened, right, And I wonder
I was noodling this through before the show. I wonder
has there been some sort of triple classified communications sent
to some of the evil doers on the planet from
Giggles herself. I don't know, Joe Biden, Blink and Sullivan,
(10:48):
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I don't know, some
cabal of the highest echelons of American power saying, you know,
the president's failing badly and we know it too, But
guess what, we're all unified that if you all get nuts.
We're gonna go full on, screaming eagle on you, so
just do not exploit that.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Wouldn't surprise me that they've made it clear, probably blinking
Secretary of State. No people are there are people in charge.
Me and sect deaf Austin everybody, we're still in charge.
Don't think that there's gonna be any hesitation to react.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I wonder whether they got like the Speaker of the
House and the minority leader of the Senate to sign
on and say hey, we're with them.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Could be very well. Could be, Man, I'll be interesting
history to read. Okay, so we got through the vegetables.
We promised you dessert. I don't even know what this is.
Hanson said, this is a game changer for the election.
This music, let's hear it, Trump, I vote.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You know what this is. This is a whole bunch
of happy Puerto.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Ricans showing that they're not upset they're voting for Donald Drums.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm digging this, Yes, Hanson, what do you know about this?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I was watching the video earlier, and good job whoever
put this together to push back on the whole Puerto
Ricans trash thing immediately.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, why the speed with which this stuff comes down now.
I mean it's oh, I love I love the Caribbean
feel and the rhythms and the steel drums and everything
since I was a little kid.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Us you want to drink. Even Commo is down with
this tune. Everybody loves it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Okay, we'll be back soon with more of the news
of the day.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So you got to see the video.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It starts in an office full of Puerto Ricans and
then goes down the street with all these different vehicles
and flags and everything like that to try to make
thinks they.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
May be Cubans, aren't they. I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
It seems pretty clear to me that they're trying to
make it seem like, you know, people of island nature
who are brown are all into Donald Trump. Days after
the whole Puerto Rican thing, the idea that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hispanic people are some sort of electoral monolith has been fictious.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's like first that uttered by Absolutely the video is great.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
If you haven't seen it, we'll post that at Armstrong
and Getty dot com. So the whole thing is stupid, right,
The joke was stupid, And then Biden responded to it,
and now he's on the hook for it. And so
they haven't had Biden out there campaigning for him, which
in political circles has been a story not so much
(14:16):
to me for obvious reasons. He's unpopular and he's got
his brain don't work, right. Why would you have an
unpopular president who's brain doesn't work come out and campaign
for you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But anyway, Tim Wall, and where is that on the
list of most important issues for Americans?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
As well? You know, again the belt weigh's bizarre self obsession.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
But anyway, the old coach, Tim Wall's just a good
old small town Nebraska, Minnesota communist coach who believes funded
that organization that taught you how to put drugs up
your butt, has discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
On the show Mind your Own Dawn Business.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I'm just a regular Midwest farmer who believes in late
term abortion, in communism, just like everybody else, who wears.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Flannel, and I'm a knucklehead at times. But he was
asked out up with Biden, and this is what he
said just a little bit ago.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
You know, there has been some reporting that President Biden
has been sidelined during this campaign. One is there any
truth to that, and if not, is this an example
of maybe why he should be sidelined.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Well, look, President Biden's the president of the United States,
he's running it. Vice President Harris is our candidate and
will be the next president. And I think there's two
different positions there. The Vice president is out speaking about
the things that we need to be done for the country.
She's talking about all of those issues that matter to folks.
And the president's doing what he needs to do, and
that's making sure our country is reducing inflation, making sure
(15:37):
that we're taking our leadership role in the world where
American values are front and center.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So no, it doesn't. These are just two different positions,
all right.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
So the president's out doing what he needs to do,
stepping on rakes that make everybody's life more difficult.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So keep in mind out of his face is what
Tim Mals was thinking. Oh man, please let it be
over soon.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
No, I know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, And to be fair, here's a stupid story the
New York Post had the other day. Did you either
one about Tim Wall's ex girlfriend from back.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
In the day, Oh the Chinese coal.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, she was so distraught when he broke up with
her that she contemplated suicide. Okay, how's that on Tim Walls?
I mean, are you familiar with you as the daughter
of a prominent communist official, Jack? Are you familiar with
the whole love and loss and all that sort of
stuff add seff and very painful.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
One person decides I'm out, and the other person is like,
I didn't want to be out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yes, it's painful, it's awful.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I don't understand why that was even in the New
York Post. I don't go to the New York Post
for that kind of story. I want to see stories
like they said my boobs were too big to be
a fifth grade teacher, and I think they're wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That and Hunter's laptop sooe things the Post does. Yeah,
I just and it goes against my nature. But I
am reminded over and over again by undecided voters saying,
over and over again, yeah, all that stuff y'all are
talking about. I still haven't heard anything of so distins
from Kamlaw. So let's get together Wednesday and talk about
(17:05):
the election next week.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
All right, that's enough trash and garbage. We'll move on.
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Jadie Vance is doing Joe Rogan's podcast today. Trump's podcast
with Joe Rogan has been seen sixty million times. You
could go on Face the Nation and be seen by
a million people maybe, or he could go on Joe
Rogan and be seen sixty million times. Or a better
(17:37):
example would be since he refused to go on sixty minutes,
which is a tradition, he could have gone on sixty
minutes and been seen by thirteen million maybe, but they
sixty million with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Uh jad Van's doing today.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Kamala Harris refused to do the Joe Rogan podcast, saying
he wanted her to go to Austin.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
She won't. Okay, that's getting out of it.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So we could have two presidents elected in a row,
Biden Harris, who went out of their way to not
expose themselves because they were terrible twice in a row.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm reminded of our theme of you know,
a month ago or whatever, and yet they're tied.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, just much of situation because you're running against Trump
and half of America can't stand him. Right.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Supreme Court cleared the way today for Virginia officials to
remove about sixteen hundred voters from the state's registration roles
less than one week before the presidential election.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The way some of this is worded in the WAPO
had a bunch of candaders on the rolls. I'm not
sure that's a fair assessment.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Governor Young can ask the justices to interview after intervene
after two lower courts blocked his efforts to cancel the
registrations of voters who seem to.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Be non citizens.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
And as always, since it's left the media, they've got
to point out non citizen voting is extremely rare. One
of my finest tweets of all time. I wish I
had it in front of me, because I worked on
the wording a bit. Was it had something the effect
of non citizens don't vote, Well, we would like to
make sure of that they don't vote. How do you
(19:16):
know you won't let us check you're a racist? Well,
there's no mechanism for uncovering voter fraud and non voter voting,
and they won't permit a mechanism to function. And they
simultaneously claim the reason there's no need for checking into
non citizen voting is because there isn't any.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And if even if there were only a dozen nationwide,
if you could easily stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Why wouldn't you. We don't need a Geiger counter. There's
no radiation here.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, wait, is there any argument? What was the argument
for leaving those names on the voter roll?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
They might actually be citizens, the information's outdated or something,
and you're disenfranchising them.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Gotcha, that's the argument. I want to get back to
the Supreme Court and.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The fact that they are an issue in the election,
But first to the topic of the security of the
ballot in people's perception of it, which is incredibly important.
Jonathan Turley was on Fox and Friends and said the
following We'll start with sixty.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Michael, but we've seen this pattern. You have a sort
of a cottage industry of registering people. There's a lot
of money from the parties, from the government to register,
and they are registered by obviously the number of people
that they can effectively harvest or get registrations from, and
that produces a rather negative incentive. You know, some of
(20:46):
these people begin to cut corners or according to some
of these accusations, just knowingly create in valid registrations. So
it's good that they're picking it up. We just don't
know the scope of this. We're seeing this in multiple districts.
And that's what we don't quite know at this point.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh man, this could be the ugly and not in
the least bit entertaining part of the post election day
stuff is all the legal wrangling and just waiting days
or weeks or hopefully not months for various rulings and uh.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And you've got the Democrat dominated states like California, for instance,
that you're automatically registered to vote when you register your
car or get a driver's license. I think it is,
and you've got to affirmatively state wholl no, stop, don't
do this, I'm a non citizen. Otherwise you're assumed, of course,
to be a citizen in eligible to vote. And whether
(21:43):
it's an oversight or malfeasance or as Turtley was suggesting,
there's a lot of money in these registration drives and
you get paid per you know, scalp as it were,
there are all sorts of perverse incentives to do the
wrong thing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
In California, you're automatically registered to vote when you get
your abortion of your second change.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh that was good. I guess adamants are feeling very
red meaty today. Good good, Ah, do you want to
hear more from Turley. Ah, sure, part of the figures.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
There are a lot of states have tried to make
it easier to register. There's a lot of money going
to registration drives, but that can be a perfect storm
when when those are in the hands of the wrong people.
And so we're seeing a lot of these these forms
that are highly suspicious and potentially criminal, but many of
these are simply invalid, and so these officials are trying
(22:33):
to do a catch up game because you know, we
don't have a lot of runway here. When these registration
forms come in, they've got to spot them, pull them,
investigate them.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
And we've got an election barreling down this track.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Well that's totally from yesterday, and this is breaking now.
The Trump people are suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania, saying they're
turning away Trump voters, are not allowing Trump voters to
be registered or something. They're going to be endless lawsuits
around this if it's super super close.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Allegedly, there was a huge flood of conservative voters trying
to register and the computers went down midday and so
on the last day to register, half the day.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Was cut off.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sorry, folks, I mean computer systems screw up all the time.
It could be one hundred percent innocent, or it could
be malfeasance of the highest order. But in an atmosphere
of mistrust and playing fast and loose with ballot securities,
people are on the alert.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We it's so week from today will be the day
after the election? Will we be talking about this crap?
Or will we know who the president is? Your guests,
they'll still be counting.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I guess that we will know. I think we'll have
a fairly decisive result. Although my level of confidence is
fifty two percent. I agree, But yeah, well, within my
personal margin of error. You have, no you have a
personal margin of error within your body. So I don't
(24:18):
particularly care who you all vote for or what you do.
I'm a I'm a small libertarian. I believe in free
will and free thought and that sort of thing. But
I would tell you this, for all of Trump's flaws,
you got some of the absolutely odious policies being pushed
by Kamalin company. Like you know, the editorial board in
the Wall Street Journal was right in the other day
(24:39):
about how Kamala was asked at a CNN town hall
last week, and of course This got next to no
attention because the Left owns the media.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Whether she supports packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
By adding three justices, and as they point out, that
was a great chance to present herself as a a
pair of hands to hold the union. Miss Harris wants
to win so badly among disaffected Republicans. She's taken a
bragging about a Dick Cheney endorsement. Right, So they asked
her about court packing, Harris says, and I quote, American
(25:16):
people increasingly are losing confidence in the Supreme Court in
large part because of the behavior of certain members of
that court and because of certain rulings, including the Dobbs
decision and taking away a president that's been in place
for fifty years protecting a woman's right to make a
decisions about her own body. So I do believe that
there should be some kind of reform of the court,
and we can study what that actually looks like.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So, whether it's packing the court or imposing quote unquote
with ethics rules which are essentially congressional control over which
justice gets to hear which case, she is for utterly
trashing the Supreme Court and the courts as an independent
branch of government.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That is enormous.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Trump is an a hole, okay, and he's rude and
he's a loose cannon. But somebody openly proposing to pack
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I mean, even my liberal.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
History professor said, yeah, FDR went way too far. Even
his own party said, hey, that's being a dictator. That's obscene,
and they stopped him in his tracks.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Well that's the argument Neil Ferguson, the historian who we
really like, was making in the Telegraph. I guess the
other day that who's who's the fascist here talking about
Biden Harris and wanting to expand the Supreme Court and
pack it full of people from their sides so it
will dominate for years to come. End the filibuster, you know,
the workaround Supreme Court, I mean student loan stuff, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
So come on, none of the fact they want to
end this filibuster for the purpose of packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Right, different topic. Do you remember those tennis rackets you
gave me? Oh goodness, yeah, your family, your kids were grown.
You must have decided you were no longer going to
play tennis. I guess, having not played it in many moons. Yes,
you gave me tennis records, which luckily we have because
(27:05):
Henry and I went and played tennis yesterday using them.
Oh crazy, and that was really fun playing that for
a while. I hadn't done that in a while. I
can see why pickle ball. I have not played pickleball yet,
but watching it, I can see why it's popular because
it looks like it's easier to do than tennis. If
you're not, you know, a good tennis player, or young
enough or in shape enough to do all of that
(27:27):
running well, you have to do so much running around
when you if you play tennis with the full court,
we didn't. I got it down to the smaller squares
because I mean, you play on a full tennis court,
you were running like crazy. I was getting so winded.
And you do a lot of chasing the tennis balls.
Unless you got a hundred balls in your pocket, you
do a lot of okay, that's both of them.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Let's you go get that one. Ok get that one?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, A lot of doing that playing tennis
I hadn't played in many, many years. I have a
feeling there's a decent chance the rackets go back into
the closet for another decade or so.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Before I give them to someone else. But we had
a good time yesterday, fair enough. It's the circle of
life or something.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I hadn't been on a tennis court in years.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I played a lot in high school, played a lot
of tennis, but I hadn't been on a tennis court
in many, many years.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I was on there thinking about the guys, you know, at.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
The top levels now who serve one hundred and forty
miles an hour, and trying to picture that coming at
you from that distance. Holy cow, how do you even
see it, let alone get a racket on it with
the desire to hit it to a certain spot.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Right, Yeah, there are a couple of sports.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Golf is the other one that leaves to mind that
the equipment has changed the game so completely it's out
of control. Yeah, I've you know, I've I've said many
times when discussing the world of golf, where you got
guys sometimes driving.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It four hundred yards now, oh really.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Three four hundred It happens occasionally, like downhill or I
did not know that, And like the and like average
PGA tour pro can carry the ball three hundred and
ten yards in the air, and so like Arnold Palmer,
even with his giant wang, how far would he have
hit it back in the sixties. Choosing not to address that,
he says he'd probably hit a two sixty five total
(29:15):
in flitting rollout.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Wow like that? Wow wow, Well that's that's a completely
different thing then. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Well, And as I often say to people, if you
went to a baseball game and guy started hitting eight
hundred foot home runs, wouldn't that be absurd?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Well?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, of course it would be.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So do you think his enormous genitalia that Trump told
us about help help torticle?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You see what happened there?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I saw it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I took the high road and he decided to exploit it,
the low road being left to him.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Do you think that helped his gamersays for humor in
your world? Or I can't believe that was a story
for a day or two. Oh in the last two
weeks of the election, we.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Are supposed to not vote for Trump because he made
Arnold Palmer had unusually right.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I'm not even going to go there. It's just so stupid.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The most important election of our lifetime, and the closing
discussions are about Arl Schwarzeneger's driver and Puerto Rico being
trash or not.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And Gerold Palmer Schwarzenegger whatever. I had known nothing about
the big German's genitals. The Austrian do you well, given
his steroid abuse, I can hazard.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
To guess yes, yeah, that's true. Anyway, where was I? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And if you are, for instance, a person who grew
up reading the biographies of the founding fathers and studying
the Constitution, the Federalists papers exactly, and the ideas that
brought this country from the monarchies and wars of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the fact that it's come down
(30:53):
to this is profoundly discouraged.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
We got more in the way, stay with us, pretty
decent economic news grew at two point eight percent. I
don't know if that's going to have any effect on
the election or.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Not, but it's good for America.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Probably decreases the chance of the FED slowing rates because
it's still pretty robust.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Right, So good news is bad news, right, the worst
news is good news. So coming up next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
The audio at least is this is a radio show
slash podcast audio only of a commercial suggesting that the
wives and girlfriends of Trump voters are so terrified of
their men that they are afraid of voting their conscience,
but that they should be brave and in the secrecy
(31:46):
of the booth vote for common lift they want. So
that coming up incredibly condescending and insulting, like a lot
of lefty politics are. I thought this was a good,
a really great encouraging son if indeed Trump were to
win the election.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
This is a rarity. Excuse me, but.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The name of billionaire investor John Paulson has been floated
publicly as a Treasury secretary, and normally those names are
kept under wraps until the election. For some reason, people
are talking about him fairly openly, and this Paulson character
said he would enthusiastically work with Elon Musk to enact
(32:31):
massive federal spending cuts if he becomes Treasury secretary. He
said in an interview that this priority would be extending
the twenty seventeen tax cuts, followed by wers.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh that is such.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the love of all that is holy,
just came out and endorsed Kamala Harris, and he repeated
the blatant lie that the twenty seventeen tax cuts were
for billionaires. Wow, and didn't help. And he actually said,
and didn't help anyone else. That is one hundred per
scent a lie.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Stop whining. That's not even spin, that's just plain not true. Wow. Yeah, yeah,
way to go, Arnold, you jackass.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Anyway, Paulson said his priorities would be extending those task cuts,
followed by quote working with Musk to reduce federal spending,
particularly by getting rid of the subsidies for green energy
and the Inflation Reduction Act, which he referred to as
the Green New Deal, which would have been a much
more accurate name. Quote all of these tax subsidies for solar,
for wind, inefficient on economic energy resources, eliminate that. That
(33:33):
brings down spending. Now that would be a drop in
the solar bucket, honestly. But I like the spirit of it.
Anybody talking about reducing the size of government.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
And I don't know how Elon Musk takes on so
many different tasks trying to get us to Mars and
running Tesla in Twitter and robots and all the different things,
but he says he's going to be part of that
big Commissioner or whatever to try to reduce waste and
be more efficient in government. I think as a businessman
he is going to if Trump wins, be highly disappointed.
(34:12):
And how difficult that is when you run into a
bureaucracy that its goal is to stop you. And I'm
not sure how much Trump cares either.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Trump cares about getting credit for it. Yeah, and you
have the problem.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I've mentioned many times that one of the most powerful
lobbyists of the federal government is the government itself.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It is such a colossus now it's difficult to.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fight just never ending growth between the unions and the
self interested people. But I just I like the fact
that somebody is talking about it again. Sure, I mean,
I've got a story here about and it's a bit
in the weeds, but it has to do with bond prices.
But the point is that we have borrowed so much money,
and we are playing to borrow so much more money
next year, in the year after, in the year after that.
(35:04):
The pros are starting to say, yeah, us debt, We're
going to pass on this.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
That's not a topic for an election.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
The topic for an election is who called whose supporters
garbage or trash.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
That's what you talk about. Huh. That's a good slender.
