Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh yeah, and doing something you don't want to do,
which you know, you can go through a lot of
your life until you start working without a whole bunch
of doing stuff you don't want to do, and then
you're kind of you start a job and often you're
only doing stuff you don't want to do the.

check thingy because I let it lapse by.

it is.

I pay the stupid tax almost daily on various things.
So and I always say that to myself on my
you know, I didn't get this in in time or
that in time, or let that lapse or whatever it say.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, call the stupid tax once again, stupid folks.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
If you're not familiar with it. Sometimes it's time, sometimes
it's money. Sometimes it's hassle. It's paying the stupid tax.
But anyway, if you like, drop the defensive note in time,
you know, just pay a little fee and get it.
But if you let it lapse by a day, they're like,
who are you?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Trump Back's former Fox News host, Republican Steve Hilton.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Is in the league.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
The Senate race in Maine with presumptive Democratic nominee and
Horny Lorax.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Grand Plat.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
The Wall Street Journal New York Times ran stories without
any evidence besides the gossip from a former.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Staffer, Graham and I have a great marriage. Being married
is hard.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Well, what kind of a creeper has been on a
decade on a platform like kick?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Why it happened? I don't know what happened. I mean
when I as I watched it. I thought, oh my god,
he's having a stroke, and so I said, you know,
you answered every question. My mind's racing.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
You know, it's a pretty low boar well por turmoil
at CBS news.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Journalism is under attack in America.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Trump told yet Yah who he was effing crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Everybody hates you now. I was a little bit perturbed.
That is uh constantly fighting with Lebanon.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Your son and Jeffery Epstein talk about pole dancing as
he begged him for money using your limited credibility reclaiming
my time, asked.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Him that that's a pretty we're talking about shoes. Are
you guys kidding me? I mean, is this the Foreign
Affairs Committee? Or is this like a circus? What is this?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
As simple as a pimple for me, there's nothing to it.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
It'd be nice if it was quite humani and taking
AWII and Comcast is to mysticated bird.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was very shocking.
Speaker 10 (05:59):
I mean, out of the box. What is king?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
King can be a fascinating topic. There are many different
styles that people enjoy. It's clips of the.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Week, So obviously it's ridiculous that a guy who spent
his youth in reality television would want to be mayor
of Los Angeles. But if you're Karen Bass, and it
commented on by late night talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel,
But if you're Karen Bass and you trained as a
(06:27):
revolutionary with Fidel Castro when you were young, not even
worth mentioning. She visited Cuba eight times in the seventies.
That's long after Fidel Castro was not just a person
who cared about the down drawd and he was full
on communist dictator by then. She traveled to Cuba eight times,
(06:50):
talk about what a great charismatic speaker he was, blah
blah blah, talked about what a loss it was when
he died. That's as recently as twenty sixteen when she
called Castro's death a great loss for the world.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's right. I'd forgotten that we went big on that
at the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So she's an openly would be communist government hack. And
that's much much more respectable than a guy who happened
to be on a reality show than open a business
couple reality shows, which is not that respectable line of work.
I admit that, No, no, on, though, come on, would
you rather have the TV guy or a communist?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Please? God?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The rush to the far left in American politics right now,
joined by the Islamists, is really really troubling to me.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
And you mentioned was the last hour? Are you talking
about the or is that this hour? This was just
a few minutes ago. I can hide my own Easter eggs.
I really really can, and like.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Like a dog, no concept of time.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh thank god, you're back. I just took out the garbage.
I am a lot like that. But you're talking about
the whole pre check or whatever flying.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this in the Wall.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Street journal I don't know anything about this. And British
tradition of getting slashed before takeoff is under the threat
a proposal by a CEO to stop or limit morning
airport alcohol sales. Is there more of a grand tradition
of getting drunk before you fly in Britain than there
is in the United States.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I was totally unaware till I came across that same
piece of journalism where they explained that, oh, yeah, yeah,
it's kind of just a thing in Britain, you get
drunk before you get on a plane. Even if it's
a seven thirty in the morning flight.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
What an interesting cultural difference. Yeah, it's not like we're
a non drinking country and I'll drink at airports, but
I'd never heard, well, of course, you get drunk before
you get on a plane in my entire life, like
it's obligatory or a tradition.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Back when I drank.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, a flight in the afternoon or evening, sure, you're
killing time the airport bar is awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But in a morning flight, the grand.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Tradition of getting slashed before a morning flight, I mean,
you don't, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I'm to each their own.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But on they talk about people a horrible day, Well
that's what I was gonna say. They talk to people
going to all sorts of different destinations and vacations or
soccer matches or business or whatever. I God, yeah, i
would feel terrible for the rest of the day. And
I'm a drinking man. Yeah, I hate that idea. Okay, well,
I guess the Uh. There's a skyrocketing rate of unruly
(09:22):
incidents aboard the airplanes, which is why the head of
Ryanair is saying, we got.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
To do something about this. This is insane.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's interesting though, that that's coincided with, you know, the
trend toward progressive lawlessness and then tearing down the system
and white supremacy and blah blah blats all tied together.
They're trying to break the system.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Well, I know it's always, which has made me mad
since I was five years old. You've got to eliminate
something that ninety nine percent of doing people are doing
and causing nobody else any trouble whatsoever. M But you're
you got to attack the whole idea of it. Because
some people.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Are a holes.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
How about you put the a holes in jail or
penalize them to the point that they don't act out
their a holishness anymore, and leave everybody else alone.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Which is what I would prefer.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, and keep going to your destination. They got cops
at the end of the line too. You don't need
to go back to London or wherever, go wherever the
hell you're going and arrest them there.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I'm looking over some of my notes, see what I
think is interesting. As we get to the waning moments
of the show. We talked a lot about the other
day the UH in California, and I'm sure this is
true around America if they've done anywhere else but the
(10:39):
STEM faculty for the University of California, which is often
called the greatest.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
University system on planet Earth. I know that used to
be true. I don't know if that's true anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't but they've all taken such a hit.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But anyway, the STEM faculty across the University of California
system open letter to UC regions in which they said,
you got to bring back the sad ACT scores. We're
getting all kinds of people coming in that just cannot
hack it in terms of trying to be an engineer.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Or a biologist or whatever. The heck. That is amazing,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
What's even more amazing is when that was proposed, eliminating
the SAT and just you know, going with interviews about
what race you are on that sort of thing. The
Faculty Advisory Committee unanimously said, don't do that. But the
woke regions, I mean as wolke as the faculty are,
the woke regions said no, no, we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So one of the reasons I brought that up is
filling out a whole bunch of a ridiculous amount of
paperwork for getting into a certain segment of public school
for one of my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
The amount of paperwork.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Ah, Like I said the other day, I'd like a
time machine just to see what my mom had to
fill out to get, you know, me into my junior
year of high school.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anything.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I'm not sure she hadn't fill out of it, but
if it wasn't, wasn't much anyhow. So many of the
questions how much screen time does you get? And I
I answered a few, but then eventually got to the
I'm not answering in any of these one out of
I'm just exhausted by it into none of your effing business,
but all kinds of questions about just like everything you
(12:19):
could possibly imagine about someone's life to a role in school,
Why what and what are you doing with this information?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's part of the whole culture of the narcissism of
small distinctions, I think too, where every kid gets a
carve out for this oru but there was there are.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Questions like does your does your does your student have
any friends that have editor undergone a tragedy? Or just
all kinds of weird and like what I'm not I'm
not wasting my time on this, even if I could
come up with answers because what are you gonna do
with it? That's gonna be and always the punchline to
any story pretty much anywhere in America but Mississippi. Uh,
(13:00):
when you're talking about school stuff is at the end
of the day, hardly anybody is passing the whole reading
and writing part of school, which is the reason you're there.
But you're asking all of these questions about crap that
doesn't matter. How in the world do we fix this problem?
As you always say, k through graduate school is broken
(13:23):
in this cull dose it both doze it and sell
the bricks both doesn't sell the bricks. Start completely over.
That'd be awesome. Start completely over, build from the ground up.
You would end up with a very different looking system.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
We're gonna have a couple of rebuilding years, like we're
the New York Jets or something like that, bad example,
because they'll never be any good. But yeah, we've got
to have some rebuilding years because it's just become so terrible.
We can't use what we've got. We're going to clean house. Yeah, anyway,
it clearly needs to happen one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We'll move away from that other stuff on the waist.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Here, let's a response to this New York Times art
long grand Platner. Do you think he deserves to continue
to be the main Senate nominee. Isn't this a liability
for Democrats trying to take back the.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Majority or one of your guys.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So that was a reporter trying to get Bernie Sanders
to comment on this guy that's running as a Democrat
in Maine. We'll talk more about that in just a second. Well,
he's a progressive. I don't care if he's Hitler, which
seems to be some people's attitudes. So who controls the
Senate is a really big deal, getting judges through, how
(14:39):
impeachment will be handled, whether or not you know you're
in control of the process or not, all kinds of
different stuff. It's a major deal who controls the Senate
and it's practically tied. And so the Democrats thought they
could pick up a seat there in Maine because a
very moderate Republican who voted against Trump in the impeachment
(15:03):
over January sixth, Susan Collins, is up. Her time is up,
and so she's gonna run against somebody. Well, you'd had
the governor, the former Governor of Maine, Janet Mills was
going to run, but then out of nowhere came this
platiner dude who is doing the whole I'm regular working
class guides time to drain the swamp and get rid
(15:24):
of the politicians.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Thing that becomes his whole deal is the fact that
he's ruggedly handsome.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
As much a deal as the fact that AOC is
hot is her deal.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Most the driving force wouldn't have happened without it, laughable.
He does have the rugged good looks thing going and
can talk the talk. And it turns out he went
to a super fancy boarding school and his actual history
is a little bit different than his the way he
(15:59):
dresses and talks. His rich rich dad essentially bought him
a house, gave him two hundred thousand dollars for the house. Yeah,
I mean, come on, I'm not as comfortaking class oysterman.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not as comfortable as beating up on a guy for
that as I was pre Pennsylvania and finding out that
his name escapes me because I'm old and I have dementia.
John Fetterman, John Fetterman, you know, we beat him up
for being a socialist, layabout and he turned out to
be my favorite Democratic senator of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So after his stroke with le enough. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Anyway, so there's a bunch of people that are still
supporting this to the Platiner, Dude, Oh, I want to
get this on down that we're down to the list.
We're at no time, Okay, We're gonna have to do
it when we come back. He was on with Chris
Hayes on MSNBC and they had an interesting run and
we'll talk about but I used to think Rokanna, Democrat
of California, was kind of like reasonable ish.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, he's insane.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He is gonna be in Maine tonight, even after all
the stuff that's happened this week around Platner and his
background with the women and the Nazi tattoo and the
once saying he was a communist and everything else. Rocanna,
California's going to be there tonight for a get out
of the vote. They vote on Tuesday. They vote on Tuesday.
But anyway, we got a good clip from MSNBC. We'll
play for you and fill in some more of the
(17:14):
details if you don't know it. So heck of an
interesting and drama.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Armstrong and Getty This is so complicated. You know, even
those of us who like.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Spend too much of our lives reading about politics and
talking about politics don't fully understand.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
The level of.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Fighting, cleverness, strategy, everything that goes on, because there's so
much money at stake. There's so much money at stake,
the trillions of dollars that pass through Washington d C.
There's just so much at stake, and talking about who's
going to control the Senate, which has a lot to
do with who's going to get trillions of past your
(18:00):
Washington d C. And is it going to be the
Republicans or the Democrats, And so it might come down
to as seat. And that's why people are making such
a big deal out of this grand plantner dude who's
running as a Democrat there in Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You know what I have not heard until today that
Maine is the only state Kamala Harris one that's up
for U has a senator up for election this time.
And that's why it's such a target, because if they
don't win Maine, they'd have to win like an Iowa
or Texas, which are much redder to accomplish the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But then you've got the complications of it.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So this Plantner guy, you assume you listen to us,
you follow enough politics. You know, he's got a Nazi tattoo,
and I mean a young guy called himself a communist once,
and he's just there's all kinds of stuff around him.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I'm sorry, it's the only state with the Republican senator
up for election anyway, back to you.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But then, but then you've got the twist t ru
of So there are Democrats, some Democrats who are overlooked
looking a lot of bad behavior by this dude because
they're in the The guy sucks.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I hate him.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I wish he wasn't our guy, But us controlling the
Senate is a big deal. So let's stay on board.
Let's get him across the line and have him win
the seat. Then you got some Democrats who are not
on board because they actually, you know, are decent human
beings and don't want them representing party, or or they're
not decent human beings, but they think he's gonna lose.
(19:26):
We need to get somebody else in there. We need
to drive him out of the race to get a
different Democrat in there, and then boost that democrat so
that we can win.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's the Biden dynamically.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Then you got the Republicans who are beating up on Platner,
like I can't believe this guy is going to be
a Democratic senator because they're afraid he might beat Collins.
And then other Republicans who are keeping their mouths shut
because they want him to be the nominee because they
think he's so easily beaten. So there's like four different
groups there in two parties, and.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Virtually none of them proceeding on moral ground.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, very few. And then did the New York I
think so, I'm a yes vote on this. Did the
New York Times do a catch and kill story yesterday
to try to protect Plantner because they're hoping he ends
up the nominee because they think that he can beat
Susan Collins. I think they did. So we'll get to
that in a little bit. But first, on the I
(20:24):
talked earlier in the week, I was bothered that over
this past weekend the story erupted of his sexting scandal,
and that seemed to be like, well, this is too much.
When he survived the being a Nazi, he survives being
a communist, he survives all this other that's okay, But man,
he sexted some women, So I can't put up with that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's the thing that we're going to lean on. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
He was on MSNBC to Chris Hayes Show and was
asked about when he stopped sexting because he's married and
all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
But this is twenty twenty three, and so there's there's
a difference in the time. And I think the first
question is like, when did this stop. If it stopped,
if there was stuff that you're not proud of that
you worked out with your wife, you don't want talk
about the details, When did it stop?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Oh, it stopped when it was happening. I mean, like
it was a Amy and I. Amy and I. It
happened soon after we got married, and we dealt with
it very very early in our relationship. And so that's
that's when it stopped.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Now, from just a soap opera standpoint, you know, if
you just want to talk about relationships, which is fun
to do, that's a heck of a thing. You were
sexton chicks right after you got married, that's you know, well,
you know I had the seven day eighth or the
seven month, the aduldrums or whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
A couple of women, quite a few, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
right after you got married. That's that's a hacker thing.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
But they worked it out and she seems to love
him and be happy with him and whatever. And I
think there's all kinds of reasons he shouldn't be a
US senator. So I don't know why we even need
to get down to the sex thing on the list
to try to nail that down. But so, do you
know what a catch and kill thing is? Trump was
good at that. Lots of people have been good at
(22:10):
that because he had friends at the who was it
the Inquirer. Yeah, so he'd have the Inquirer. This is
back before he was even a politician, when he was
just a celebrity billionaire dude that people knew his name.
If there was a negative story out there, sometimes he'd
have the National Inquirer pay somebody for the story, exclusive story,
(22:32):
and then just never print it. Or sometimes the catch
and kill version is you print it, but you do
a really watered down version. And that's what the New
York Times, the New York Times is being accused of
right now, because so the New York Times had a
splashy headline yesterday had actually clicked on do you I
don't know if you have the actual headline, but it
was something like three women finally come forward to nail
down what a scumbag Plantner is. And I thought, okay,
(22:54):
here we go now after last week's sexting story, because
the Wall Street Journey wasn't The Wall Street Journal wasn't
that had the headline Platner sexting after marriage, And then
there were no sects in there. They didn't have any
of the sects. I wanted the actual sex thing. I
didn't just want like allusions to it. I wanted to
see the actual sex. They didn't have any New York
(23:14):
Times goes with this splashy headline, Okay, here we go.
Here's the details here.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It is several women who dated Graham Platner recall unsettling behavior.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, so okay, I thought, okay, do they have the
goods now? I read paragraph after paragraph after paragraph.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Before they even got to the women.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I was like, okay, why have I Why is the
first paragraph not he raped me or something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You keep going and going and going and going.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And then when they finally got to the women, it
was I found out he was dating someone else the
same time he was dating me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
WHOA, that's your.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Lead actuis accusation in the New York Times story he
was dating somebody else at the same time. Okay, not cool,
but hardly a bombshell revel that keeps somebody for being
a US center. And it kept going like that, and
then finally you got down to a woman who said
he shoved me in a room and locked the door. Okay,
(24:10):
that's worse than the but why did you structure it
this way? And so now there's accusations that there was
a catch and kill going on. David Harsani reposting this,
It's starting to look like people at the New York
Times lured in Graham Plattner's victims to try to bury
the story for him publishing something watered down due to
(24:33):
a parent infighting at The New York Times or the
Democratic Party on whether they actually think their best bet
is to get rid of him before the primary Tuesday,
or to have him win and beat Collins anyway in
a way that would leave just enough christ for bad
actors to portray Platner as a victim of a right
wing witch hunt. Now you're getting too many switcherous for
(24:56):
me to even follow, So you put out a watered
down he's a bad guy so that he and other
Democrats can claim, look, they're out to.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Get me in the New York Times.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well, and voters in the future will see headlines about
him being a bad guy in that way and think,
oh my god, I bet there's nothing to it.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I've seen this.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, I had to read a long way down before
he got this, an even this, and then here evan Ada,
he said.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
She said, why did they bury it so far?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Anyway, So one of the women says, it dawned on
me that this was one of the women in the
that was a feature, it said. It dawned on me
that this was really a setup all along. The journalists
I trusted, who convinced me to share a story I
never wanted to tell, methodically delayed and twisted this into
a gift to the Platner campaign, violating the trust of
(25:43):
the victims, shattering the trust I placed in them with
the most vulnerable story of my life. So that suggests
they said more damning things, but the New York Times
didn't print them. Wow, and they put out the story,
so they can say, Look, we've covered this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
This is a old story. It's been covered in the
New York Times.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
How many times are we going to keep talking about
this when there was just there was so nothing. Burger
I was shocked at, like, why is this even an article,
let alone with that headline.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There is physical abuse in this article. I'm going to
count how many paragraphs in it is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Four, twenty four paragraphs before they get to get anything
that you could call okay. That's really bad behavior that
I never want someone to be a US senator.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
And then you're still at it. It's a he said,
she said, So why all the.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Previous paragraphs of I found out he was dating somewhere else,
or he told me he loved me and it turned
out he didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I mean, what was all that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, rank a lot? Yeah right, yeah, that's so interesting.
It's obviously not catch and kill. There's got to be
catch and dilute.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Right right, I think that's what it was, catch and
dilute so this woman, I don't know which of these
women it is is basically it sounds to me like
she's saying, they convinced me to tell this story because
we got to get this guy so bad and then
did this big, long, watered down story that has no impact.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, if you're a fan of metaphors, it's it's like
they took the virus, killed it, then took a little
bit of the virus to inoculate Platinum against these charges.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's a it's what's the other word for inoculation.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's so one of them. God dang it that thing.
That other word for inoculation is what this is. Vaccine.
It's a vaccination.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, that's exactly what it is, and that has been
perfected over many, many years of politics.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Clinton. People are really.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Going that it's a vaccination article. Yeah, I what credit
does it pay?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I give you credit? Do you want me to tip
my cap? Or do you want money? You say partial credit?
Or should I send you a check?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What do you want for? What satisfy your needs? Here
a T shirt that says I came up with this.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
All I know is when I saw the headline yesterday,
I thought, Oh, this is gonna be interesting, and I
just kept reading and reading and reading, and nothing interesting happened.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Did I space off.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Because I'm kind of watching the ball game out of
the corner of my eye.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And then it became obvious to me, Okay, this is
on purpose, or they would have put it in the
first paragraph. If you we all know, if you follow
news at all, if there's something really big, it's like
in the first sentence, Yeah, you have a quote from
a woman he he held me down and rape me
or whatever it is. But no, it just kept going
and going and going with sidebars about his life and
(28:50):
other things and perhaps meaningless convert before they even got
to a woman claiming he said he loved me, and
I don't think he actually did.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Like what.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, in fairness, in paragraph six they do refer to
in at least one case, even physically threatening, but then
they don't pay that off until paragraph twenty four, as
we made clear earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, well, and a lot of narcissists talking.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Let me just tell you, having been in the dating
world now for a while, if I meet anybody, man
or woman who doesn't say their ex was a narcissist.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
It'll be the first one. It's so commonly used.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
No, maybe they are, but I everybody says their ex
was a narcissist. I know, mean most people, or three quarters,
I mean one hundred percent of people say yeah, I
was married to a narcissist.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, well maybe you were.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I don't know, but sure seems like a lot of
people ended up married to narcissists.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can't all be true, get it? Yeah, Yeah, that's funny.
I've heard that more than once too. You know, I
have sympathy for the guy who was left damaged somewhat
psychologically by his combat experiences, and I would never harshly
judge anybody for that. But he's referred a good deal
to his bad judgment and heavy drinking and and people
(30:07):
get people reform. But he's still a pretty young man
that was not that long ago, and he's established no
track record of really achieving anything. So he's just a
ruggedly handsome faux oysterman with bad judgment and a drinking problem.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Now, Mark Halpern keeps saying there are other shoes to drop.
When are they gonna drop this weekend? Because they vote
Tuesday and almost have to be this weekend. Get to
dropping them shoes, and I want.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It to be a real shoe, not like a you know,
a sandal or a tiva or something. I need to
be a reliant.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I need to fop wingtip something that will finish strong next.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
So on a recent podcast with La Mayor Bass, comedian
Kathy Griffin insulted the lap by accusing them of being
part of white nationalism. She says that's because every time
the cops see her they try to throw.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
A hood over her head. Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Did he have a picture. She looks pretty freaky now Yeah, yeah,
much work, No kidding. We haven't heard eight either. This
is Greg Guttfeld again.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
A man legally named Looney Tune was sentenced to twenty
years in prison for multiple felonies. Needless to say, he
plans to escape by painting a large tunnel on the
wall of his cell.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I like that, but I wanted to get this on again.
Seven On the.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
View, Doctor Jill asserted that Joe would have beaten Trump
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Four, not to the White House, to the white lights.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Wow, boy, that's funny, that's what he was going for.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
When Biden finally kicks off, which could be three this afternoon.
What is that going to be like? How is that
going to be handled? Oh by Well, it depends who
you're talking about. But all the Democrats fifty years of
public service? Do Clinton Obama show up and talk about
(32:28):
this and that and everything like that?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the pleasantries. They'll do the nice,
nice thing.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And then, finally, in the most selfish act in presidential history,
knowing he was too old to run but needed to
hang on to the gig because his family was broke,
he allowed Donald Trump to get elected again. From their standpoint,
it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
They probably won't phrase it exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Joe Biden, who was so committed to serving the country,
even as some questioned his age and acuity, he insisted
that he wanted to serve four more years.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, which is a heck of a thing. You know.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Obama, if he was gonna be honest, I wish he would.
He gave Biden that Presidential Medal of Freedom honor to
keep him from running for president. The idea was, I'm
gonna give him the biggest high hor honor. Here's your
here's your award. Everybody's clapping and looking at you. The
highest peak, and that was a good run. So enjoy
(33:28):
the beat. This is your lifetime achievement to achieve exactly,
That's what I mean. I'm giving you the Lifetime Achievement Awards,
which means you've achieved everything you can and need to.
So then head into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Right please. But he ran anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
There are sources now anonymous of course, from the Biden
camp that are they are telling journalists.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Look, Jill loved the trappings of power.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
She loved Wigan, the first Lady and the wealth that accrued,
the fan and the rest of it, and she was
absolutely one of the main engines of yes, you've got
to run again.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
There is a couple of different pundits that I've listened
to recently, like straight shooter pundits who said the whole
Biden thing, that they pulled it off as long as
they did. Of look, I'm the honest guy. My word
is a Biden. I'm the they pulled that off in
DC for so long that people bought into it, and
(34:25):
they are just a we're here to get rich, we
do whatever benefits us, just like everybody else practically in DC.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But they had that shiny veneer for a long time
that brand.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yeah, I have some final thoughts, and some people say
they are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But
if you look at what's happening, I would have to
say Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They
are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You know that's funny, But it's that technology that can
have your kid call you and say, look, Dad, I
mean jail, you got to send me five hundred dollars
because it's so.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Way better now than it was when that was done.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the CRUI
to wrapp Ups show for the day.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Boy, we're we're cut down.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
We got a skeleton crew, hands and pressure of the
bunks in the control room.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Mike lead us off.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
You know, I've been thinking a lot about the fact
that I need to work out, but then listening to
the show.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Today, I'm going one to eighty.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'm going full Lizzo, Hamburgers, milkshakes, pie Jack's favorite pie.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I'm just going sport for the next month.
Speaker 8 (35:32):
I don't care because I'll just get the injection and
lose it all in a matter of months anyway, So
I'm going for it.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah my final thought, I don't know that much about that.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So if I went on that thing, could I just
start eating pie and donuts if I want to?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Uh, you won't have any desire to. I'd like to
put that to the test.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I'm Strong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

logo signing my son up for a job, because I
told him, either find a job someplace you kind of

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's that's so good. That is so good.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Working and getting used to the world and humanity and
money and taxes and the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh yeah, and doing something you don't want to do,
which you know, you can go through a lot of
your life until you start working without a whole bunch
of doing stuff you don't want to do, and then
you're kind of you start a job and often you're
only doing stuff you don't want to do the.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Entire time, all day long and into the night.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, said, deulthood is wonderful. I've got to go to
the dock in the box, speaking of things I don't
want to do. And then I've got an appointment tomorrow.
I've got to drive two plus hours away to Regional
Airport to interview for my global entry slash tsa pre
check thingy because I let it lapse by.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Like two weeks. Oh, the stupid text. That's precisely what
it is.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I pay the stupid tax almost daily on various things.
So and I always say that to myself on my
you know, I didn't get this in in time or
that in time, or let that lapse or whatever it say.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, call the stupid tax once again, stupid folks.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
If you're not familiar with it. Sometimes it's time, sometimes
it's money. Sometimes it's hassle. It's paying the stupid tax.
But anyway, if you like, drop the defensive note in time,
you know, just pay a little fee and get it.
But if you let it lapse by a day, they're like,
who are you?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
What are your loyalties? What do you think you're doing?
You need to come in person. We want to look
you in the eye. I think you're gonna bring fifteen

Speaker 1 (02:56):

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Javier Visera has surged Javier ma Korea.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Why God, if you have ebola, show up and vote
with takes.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I know, wear a mask.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Trump Back's former Fox News host, Republican Steve Hilton.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Is in the league.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
The Senate race in Maine with presumptive Democratic nominee and
Horny Lorax.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Grand Plat.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
The Wall Street Journal New York Times ran stories without
any evidence besides the gossip from a former.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Staffer, Graham and I have a great marriage. Being married
is hard.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Well, what kind of a creeper has been on a
decade on a platform like kick?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Why it happened? I don't know what happened. I mean
when I as I watched it. I thought, oh my god,
he's having a stroke, and so I said, you know,
you answered every question. My mind's racing.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
You know, it's a pretty low boar well por turmoil
at CBS news.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Journalism is under attack in America.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Trump told yet Yah who he was effing crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Everybody hates you now. I was a little bit perturbed.
That is uh constantly fighting with Lebanon.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Your son and Jeffery Epstein talk about pole dancing as
he begged him for money using your limited credibility reclaiming
my time, asked.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Him that that's a pretty we're talking about shoes. Are
you guys kidding me? I mean, is this the Foreign
Affairs Committee? Or is this like a circus? What is this?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
As simple as a pimple for me, there's nothing to it.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
It'd be nice if it was quite humani and taking
AWII and Comcast is to mysticated bird.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It was very shocking.
Speaker 10 (05:59):
I mean, out of the box. What is king?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
King can be a fascinating topic. There are many different
styles that people enjoy. It's clips of the.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Week, So obviously it's ridiculous that a guy who spent
his youth in reality television would want to be mayor
of Los Angeles. But if you're Karen Bass, and it
commented on by late night talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel,
But if you're Karen Bass and you trained as a
(06:27):
revolutionary with Fidel Castro when you were young, not even
worth mentioning. She visited Cuba eight times in the seventies.
That's long after Fidel Castro was not just a person
who cared about the down drawd and he was full
on communist dictator by then. She traveled to Cuba eight times,
(06:50):
talk about what a great charismatic speaker he was, blah
blah blah, talked about what a loss it was when
he died. That's as recently as twenty sixteen when she
called Castro's death a great loss for the world.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's right. I'd forgotten that we went big on that
at the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So she's an openly would be communist government hack. And
that's much much more respectable than a guy who happened
to be on a reality show than open a business
couple reality shows, which is not that respectable line of work.
I admit that, No, no, on, though, come on, would
you rather have the TV guy or a communist?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Please? God?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The rush to the far left in American politics right now,
joined by the Islamists, is really really troubling to me.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
And you mentioned was the last hour? Are you talking
about the or is that this hour? This was just
a few minutes ago. I can hide my own Easter eggs.
I really really can, and like.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Like a dog, no concept of time.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh thank god, you're back. I just took out the garbage.
I am a lot like that. But you're talking about
the whole pre check or whatever flying.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this in the Wall.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Street journal I don't know anything about this. And British
tradition of getting slashed before takeoff is under the threat
a proposal by a CEO to stop or limit morning
airport alcohol sales. Is there more of a grand tradition
of getting drunk before you fly in Britain than there
is in the United States.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I was totally unaware till I came across that same
piece of journalism where they explained that, oh, yeah, yeah,
it's kind of just a thing in Britain, you get
drunk before you get on a plane. Even if it's
a seven thirty in the morning flight.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
What an interesting cultural difference. Yeah, it's not like we're
a non drinking country and I'll drink at airports, but
I'd never heard, well, of course, you get drunk before
you get on a plane in my entire life, like
it's obligatory or a tradition.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Back when I drank.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, a flight in the afternoon or evening, sure, you're
killing time the airport bar is awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But in a morning flight, the grand.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Tradition of getting slashed before a morning flight, I mean,
you don't, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I'm to each their own.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But on they talk about people a horrible day, Well
that's what I was gonna say. They talk to people
going to all sorts of different destinations and vacations or
soccer matches or business or whatever. I God, yeah, i
would feel terrible for the rest of the day. And
I'm a drinking man. Yeah, I hate that idea. Okay, well,
I guess the Uh. There's a skyrocketing rate of unruly
(09:22):
incidents aboard the airplanes, which is why the head of
Ryanair is saying, we got.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
To do something about this. This is insane.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's interesting though, that that's coincided with, you know, the
trend toward progressive lawlessness and then tearing down the system
and white supremacy and blah blah blats all tied together.
They're trying to break the system.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Well, I know it's always, which has made me mad
since I was five years old. You've got to eliminate
something that ninety nine percent of doing people are doing
and causing nobody else any trouble whatsoever. M But you're
you got to attack the whole idea of it. Because
some people.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Are a holes.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
How about you put the a holes in jail or
penalize them to the point that they don't act out
their a holishness anymore, and leave everybody else alone.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Which is what I would prefer.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, and keep going to your destination. They got cops
at the end of the line too. You don't need
to go back to London or wherever, go wherever the
hell you're going and arrest them there.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I'm looking over some of my notes, see what I
think is interesting. As we get to the waning moments
of the show. We talked a lot about the other
day the UH in California, and I'm sure this is
true around America if they've done anywhere else but the
(10:39):
STEM faculty for the University of California, which is often
called the greatest.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
University system on planet Earth. I know that used to
be true. I don't know if that's true anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't but they've all taken such a hit.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But anyway, the STEM faculty across the University of California
system open letter to UC regions in which they said,
you got to bring back the sad ACT scores. We're
getting all kinds of people coming in that just cannot
hack it in terms of trying to be an engineer.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Or a biologist or whatever. The heck. That is amazing,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
What's even more amazing is when that was proposed, eliminating
the SAT and just you know, going with interviews about
what race you are on that sort of thing. The
Faculty Advisory Committee unanimously said, don't do that. But the
woke regions, I mean as wolke as the faculty are,
the woke regions said no, no, we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
So one of the reasons I brought that up is
filling out a whole bunch of a ridiculous amount of
paperwork for getting into a certain segment of public school
for one of my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
The amount of paperwork.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Ah, Like I said the other day, I'd like a
time machine just to see what my mom had to
fill out to get, you know, me into my junior
year of high school.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anything.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I'm not sure she hadn't fill out of it, but
if it wasn't, wasn't much anyhow. So many of the
questions how much screen time does you get? And I
I answered a few, but then eventually got to the
I'm not answering in any of these one out of
I'm just exhausted by it into none of your effing business,
but all kinds of questions about just like everything you
(12:19):
could possibly imagine about someone's life to a role in school,
Why what and what are you doing with this information?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's part of the whole culture of the narcissism of
small distinctions, I think too, where every kid gets a
carve out for this oru but there was there are.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Questions like does your does your does your student have
any friends that have editor undergone a tragedy? Or just
all kinds of weird and like what I'm not I'm
not wasting my time on this, even if I could
come up with answers because what are you gonna do
with it? That's gonna be and always the punchline to
any story pretty much anywhere in America but Mississippi. Uh,
(13:00):
when you're talking about school stuff is at the end
of the day, hardly anybody is passing the whole reading
and writing part of school, which is the reason you're there.
But you're asking all of these questions about crap that
doesn't matter. How in the world do we fix this problem?
As you always say, k through graduate school is broken
(13:23):
in this cull dose it both doze it and sell
the bricks both doesn't sell the bricks. Start completely over.
That'd be awesome. Start completely over, build from the ground up.
You would end up with a very different looking system.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
We're gonna have a couple of rebuilding years, like we're
the New York Jets or something like that, bad example,
because they'll never be any good. But yeah, we've got
to have some rebuilding years because it's just become so terrible.
We can't use what we've got. We're going to clean house. Yeah, anyway,
it clearly needs to happen one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We'll move away from that other stuff on the waist.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
Here, let's a response to this New York Times art
long grand Platner. Do you think he deserves to continue
to be the main Senate nominee. Isn't this a liability
for Democrats trying to take back the.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Majority or one of your guys.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
So that was a reporter trying to get Bernie Sanders
to comment on this guy that's running as a Democrat
in Maine. We'll talk more about that in just a second. Well,
he's a progressive. I don't care if he's Hitler, which
seems to be some people's attitudes. So who controls the
Senate is a really big deal, getting judges through, how
(14:39):
impeachment will be handled, whether or not you know you're
in control of the process or not, all kinds of
different stuff. It's a major deal who controls the Senate
and it's practically tied. And so the Democrats thought they
could pick up a seat there in Maine because a
very moderate Republican who voted against Trump in the impeachment
(15:03):
over January sixth, Susan Collins, is up. Her time is up,
and so she's gonna run against somebody. Well, you'd had
the governor, the former Governor of Maine, Janet Mills was
going to run, but then out of nowhere came this
platiner dude who is doing the whole I'm regular working
class guides time to drain the swamp and get rid
(15:24):
of the politicians.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Thing that becomes his whole deal is the fact that
he's ruggedly handsome.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
As much a deal as the fact that AOC is
hot is her deal.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Most the driving force wouldn't have happened without it, laughable.
He does have the rugged good looks thing going and
can talk the talk. And it turns out he went
to a super fancy boarding school and his actual history
is a little bit different than his the way he
(15:59):
dresses and talks. His rich rich dad essentially bought him
a house, gave him two hundred thousand dollars for the house. Yeah,
I mean, come on, I'm not as comfortaking class oysterman.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not as comfortable as beating up on a guy for
that as I was pre Pennsylvania and finding out that
his name escapes me because I'm old and I have dementia.
John Fetterman, John Fetterman, you know, we beat him up
for being a socialist, layabout and he turned out to
be my favorite Democratic senator of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So after his stroke with le enough. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Anyway, so there's a bunch of people that are still
supporting this to the Platiner, Dude, Oh, I want to
get this on down that we're down to the list.
We're at no time, Okay, We're gonna have to do
it when we come back. He was on with Chris
Hayes on MSNBC and they had an interesting run and
we'll talk about but I used to think Rokanna, Democrat
of California, was kind of like reasonable ish.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, he's insane.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He is gonna be in Maine tonight, even after all
the stuff that's happened this week around Platner and his
background with the women and the Nazi tattoo and the
once saying he was a communist and everything else. Rocanna,
California's going to be there tonight for a get out
of the vote. They vote on Tuesday. They vote on Tuesday.
But anyway, we got a good clip from MSNBC. We'll
play for you and fill in some more of the
(17:14):
details if you don't know it. So heck of an
interesting and drama.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Armstrong and Getty This is so complicated. You know, even
those of us who like.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Spend too much of our lives reading about politics and
talking about politics don't fully understand.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
The level of.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Fighting, cleverness, strategy, everything that goes on, because there's so
much money at stake. There's so much money at stake,
the trillions of dollars that pass through Washington d C.
There's just so much at stake, and talking about who's
going to control the Senate, which has a lot to
do with who's going to get trillions of past your
(18:00):
Washington d C. And is it going to be the
Republicans or the Democrats, And so it might come down
to as seat. And that's why people are making such
a big deal out of this grand plantner dude who's
running as a Democrat there in Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You know what I have not heard until today that
Maine is the only state Kamala Harris one that's up
for U has a senator up for election this time.
And that's why it's such a target, because if they
don't win Maine, they'd have to win like an Iowa
or Texas, which are much redder to accomplish the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But then you've got the complications of it.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So this Plantner guy, you assume you listen to us,
you follow enough politics. You know, he's got a Nazi tattoo,
and I mean a young guy called himself a communist once,
and he's just there's all kinds of stuff around him.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I'm sorry, it's the only state with the Republican senator
up for election anyway, back to you.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But then, but then you've got the twist t ru
of So there are Democrats, some Democrats who are overlooked
looking a lot of bad behavior by this dude because
they're in the The guy sucks.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I hate him.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I wish he wasn't our guy, But us controlling the
Senate is a big deal. So let's stay on board.
Let's get him across the line and have him win
the seat. Then you got some Democrats who are not
on board because they actually, you know, are decent human
beings and don't want them representing party, or or they're
not decent human beings, but they think he's gonna lose.
(19:26):
We need to get somebody else in there. We need
to drive him out of the race to get a
different Democrat in there, and then boost that democrat so
that we can win.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's the Biden dynamically.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Then you got the Republicans who are beating up on Platner,
like I can't believe this guy is going to be
a Democratic senator because they're afraid he might beat Collins.
And then other Republicans who are keeping their mouths shut
because they want him to be the nominee because they
think he's so easily beaten. So there's like four different
groups there in two parties, and.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Virtually none of them proceeding on moral ground.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, very few. And then did the New York I
think so, I'm a yes vote on this. Did the
New York Times do a catch and kill story yesterday
to try to protect Plantner because they're hoping he ends
up the nominee because they think that he can beat
Susan Collins. I think they did. So we'll get to
that in a little bit. But first, on the I
(20:24):
talked earlier in the week, I was bothered that over
this past weekend the story erupted of his sexting scandal,
and that seemed to be like, well, this is too much.
When he survived the being a Nazi, he survives being
a communist, he survives all this other that's okay, But man,
he sexted some women, So I can't put up with that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's the thing that we're going to lean on. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
He was on MSNBC to Chris Hayes Show and was
asked about when he stopped sexting because he's married and
all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
But this is twenty twenty three, and so there's there's
a difference in the time. And I think the first
question is like, when did this stop. If it stopped,
if there was stuff that you're not proud of that
you worked out with your wife, you don't want talk
about the details, When did it stop?
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Oh, it stopped when it was happening. I mean, like
it was a Amy and I. Amy and I. It
happened soon after we got married, and we dealt with
it very very early in our relationship. And so that's
that's when it stopped.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Now, from just a soap opera standpoint, you know, if
you just want to talk about relationships, which is fun
to do, that's a heck of a thing. You were
sexton chicks right after you got married, that's you know, well,
you know I had the seven day eighth or the
seven month, the aduldrums or whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
A couple of women, quite a few, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
right after you got married. That's that's a hacker thing.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
But they worked it out and she seems to love
him and be happy with him and whatever. And I
think there's all kinds of reasons he shouldn't be a
US senator. So I don't know why we even need
to get down to the sex thing on the list
to try to nail that down. But so, do you
know what a catch and kill thing is? Trump was
good at that. Lots of people have been good at
(22:10):
that because he had friends at the who was it
the Inquirer. Yeah, so he'd have the Inquirer. This is
back before he was even a politician, when he was
just a celebrity billionaire dude that people knew his name.
If there was a negative story out there, sometimes he'd
have the National Inquirer pay somebody for the story, exclusive story,
(22:32):
and then just never print it. Or sometimes the catch
and kill version is you print it, but you do
a really watered down version. And that's what the New
York Times, the New York Times is being accused of
right now, because so the New York Times had a
splashy headline yesterday had actually clicked on do you I
don't know if you have the actual headline, but it
was something like three women finally come forward to nail
down what a scumbag Plantner is. And I thought, okay,
(22:54):
here we go now after last week's sexting story, because
the Wall Street Journey wasn't The Wall Street Journal wasn't
that had the headline Platner sexting after marriage, And then
there were no sects in there. They didn't have any
of the sects. I wanted the actual sex thing. I
didn't just want like allusions to it. I wanted to
see the actual sex. They didn't have any New York
(23:14):
Times goes with this splashy headline, Okay, here we go.
Here's the details here.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It is several women who dated Graham Platner recall unsettling behavior.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, so okay, I thought, okay, do they have the
goods now? I read paragraph after paragraph after paragraph.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Before they even got to the women.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I was like, okay, why have I Why is the
first paragraph not he raped me or something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You keep going and going and going and going.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And then when they finally got to the women, it
was I found out he was dating someone else the
same time he was dating me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
WHOA, that's your.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Lead actuis accusation in the New York Times story he
was dating somebody else at the same time. Okay, not cool,
but hardly a bombshell revel that keeps somebody for being
a US center. And it kept going like that, and
then finally you got down to a woman who said
he shoved me in a room and locked the door. Okay,
(24:10):
that's worse than the but why did you structure it
this way? And so now there's accusations that there was
a catch and kill going on. David Harsani reposting this,
It's starting to look like people at the New York
Times lured in Graham Plattner's victims to try to bury
the story for him publishing something watered down due to
(24:33):
a parent infighting at The New York Times or the
Democratic Party on whether they actually think their best bet
is to get rid of him before the primary Tuesday,
or to have him win and beat Collins anyway in
a way that would leave just enough christ for bad
actors to portray Platner as a victim of a right
wing witch hunt. Now you're getting too many switcherous for
(24:56):
me to even follow, So you put out a watered
down he's a bad guy so that he and other
Democrats can claim, look, they're out to.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Get me in the New York Times.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well, and voters in the future will see headlines about
him being a bad guy in that way and think,
oh my god, I bet there's nothing to it.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I've seen this.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, I had to read a long way down before
he got this, an even this, and then here evan Ada,
he said.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
She said, why did they bury it so far?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Anyway, So one of the women says, it dawned on
me that this was one of the women in the
that was a feature, it said. It dawned on me
that this was really a setup all along. The journalists
I trusted, who convinced me to share a story I
never wanted to tell, methodically delayed and twisted this into
a gift to the Platner campaign, violating the trust of
(25:43):
the victims, shattering the trust I placed in them with
the most vulnerable story of my life. So that suggests
they said more damning things, but the New York Times
didn't print them. Wow, and they put out the story,
so they can say, Look, we've covered this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
This is a old story. It's been covered in the
New York Times.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
How many times are we going to keep talking about
this when there was just there was so nothing. Burger
I was shocked at, like, why is this even an article,
let alone with that headline.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There is physical abuse in this article. I'm going to
count how many paragraphs in it is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Four, twenty four paragraphs before they get to get anything
that you could call okay. That's really bad behavior that
I never want someone to be a US senator.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
And then you're still at it. It's a he said,
she said, So why all the.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Previous paragraphs of I found out he was dating somewhere else,
or he told me he loved me and it turned
out he didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I mean, what was all that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, rank a lot? Yeah right, yeah, that's so interesting.
It's obviously not catch and kill. There's got to be
catch and dilute.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Right right, I think that's what it was, catch and
dilute so this woman, I don't know which of these
women it is is basically it sounds to me like
she's saying, they convinced me to tell this story because
we got to get this guy so bad and then
did this big, long, watered down story that has no impact.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, if you're a fan of metaphors, it's it's like
they took the virus, killed it, then took a little
bit of the virus to inoculate Platinum against these charges.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's a it's what's the other word for inoculation.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's so one of them. God dang it that thing.
That other word for inoculation is what this is. Vaccine.
It's a vaccination.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, that's exactly what it is, and that has been
perfected over many, many years of politics.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Clinton. People are really.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Going that it's a vaccination article. Yeah, I what credit
does it pay?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I give you credit? Do you want me to tip
my cap? Or do you want money? You say partial credit?
Or should I send you a check?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What do you want for? What satisfy your needs? Here
a T shirt that says I came up with this.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
All I know is when I saw the headline yesterday,
I thought, Oh, this is gonna be interesting, and I
just kept reading and reading and reading, and nothing interesting happened.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Did I space off.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Because I'm kind of watching the ball game out of
the corner of my eye.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And then it became obvious to me, Okay, this is
on purpose, or they would have put it in the
first paragraph. If you we all know, if you follow
news at all, if there's something really big, it's like
in the first sentence, Yeah, you have a quote from
a woman he he held me down and rape me
or whatever it is. But no, it just kept going
and going and going with sidebars about his life and
(28:50):
other things and perhaps meaningless convert before they even got
to a woman claiming he said he loved me, and
I don't think he actually did.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Like what.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, in fairness, in paragraph six they do refer to
in at least one case, even physically threatening, but then
they don't pay that off until paragraph twenty four, as
we made clear earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, well, and a lot of narcissists talking.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Let me just tell you, having been in the dating
world now for a while, if I meet anybody, man
or woman who doesn't say their ex was a narcissist.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
It'll be the first one. It's so commonly used.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
No, maybe they are, but I everybody says their ex
was a narcissist. I know, mean most people, or three quarters,
I mean one hundred percent of people say yeah, I
was married to a narcissist.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, well maybe you were.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I don't know, but sure seems like a lot of
people ended up married to narcissists.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Can't all be true, get it? Yeah, Yeah, that's funny.
I've heard that more than once too. You know, I
have sympathy for the guy who was left damaged somewhat
psychologically by his combat experiences, and I would never harshly
judge anybody for that. But he's referred a good deal
to his bad judgment and heavy drinking and and people
(30:07):
get people reform. But he's still a pretty young man
that was not that long ago, and he's established no
track record of really achieving anything. So he's just a
ruggedly handsome faux oysterman with bad judgment and a drinking problem.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Now, Mark Halpern keeps saying there are other shoes to drop.
When are they gonna drop this weekend? Because they vote
Tuesday and almost have to be this weekend. Get to
dropping them shoes, and I want.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
It to be a real shoe, not like a you know,
a sandal or a tiva or something. I need to
be a reliant.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I need to fop wingtip something that will finish strong next.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
So on a recent podcast with La Mayor Bass, comedian
Kathy Griffin insulted the lap by accusing them of being
part of white nationalism. She says that's because every time
the cops see her they try to throw.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
A hood over her head. Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Did he have a picture. She looks pretty freaky now Yeah, yeah,
much work, No kidding. We haven't heard eight either. This
is Greg Guttfeld again.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
A man legally named Looney Tune was sentenced to twenty
years in prison for multiple felonies. Needless to say, he
plans to escape by painting a large tunnel on the
wall of his cell.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I like that, but I wanted to get this on again.
Seven On the.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
View, Doctor Jill asserted that Joe would have beaten Trump
in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Four, not to the White House, to the white lights.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Wow, boy, that's funny, that's what he was going for.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
When Biden finally kicks off, which could be three this afternoon.
What is that going to be like? How is that
going to be handled? Oh by Well, it depends who
you're talking about. But all the Democrats fifty years of
public service? Do Clinton Obama show up and talk about
(32:28):
this and that and everything like that?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the pleasantries. They'll do the nice,
nice thing.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And then, finally, in the most selfish act in presidential history,
knowing he was too old to run but needed to
hang on to the gig because his family was broke,
he allowed Donald Trump to get elected again. From their standpoint,
it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
They probably won't phrase it exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Joe Biden, who was so committed to serving the country,
even as some questioned his age and acuity, he insisted
that he wanted to serve four more years.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, which is a heck of a thing. You know.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Obama, if he was gonna be honest, I wish he would.
He gave Biden that Presidential Medal of Freedom honor to
keep him from running for president. The idea was, I'm
gonna give him the biggest high hor honor. Here's your
here's your award. Everybody's clapping and looking at you. The
highest peak, and that was a good run. So enjoy
(33:28):
the beat. This is your lifetime achievement to achieve exactly,
That's what I mean. I'm giving you the Lifetime Achievement Awards,
which means you've achieved everything you can and need to.
So then head into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Right please. But he ran anyway.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
There are sources now anonymous of course, from the Biden
camp that are they are telling journalists.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Look, Jill loved the trappings of power.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
She loved Wigan, the first Lady and the wealth that accrued,
the fan and the rest of it, and she was
absolutely one of the main engines of yes, you've got
to run again.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
There is a couple of different pundits that I've listened
to recently, like straight shooter pundits who said the whole
Biden thing, that they pulled it off as long as
they did. Of look, I'm the honest guy. My word
is a Biden. I'm the they pulled that off in
DC for so long that people bought into it, and
(34:25):
they are just a we're here to get rich, we
do whatever benefits us, just like everybody else practically in DC.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But they had that shiny veneer for a long time
that brand.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yeah, I have some final thoughts, and some people say
they are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But
if you look at what's happening, I would have to
say Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They
are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You know that's funny, But it's that technology that can
have your kid call you and say, look, Dad, I
mean jail, you got to send me five hundred dollars
because it's so.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Way better now than it was when that was done.
