Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong
and Getty and he arm Strong and Letty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
They believe Hezbola has been significantly degraded militarily, but they
can see the group and its missiles still pose a
real threat, as does Hesbola's back at Iran and on Iran.
One official telling me if Iran does hit back then, quote,
they'll be hit harder than they can imagine.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, that's what you always say. Hes bullet leader Hassan
Nasralla is dead. You'll know I'm dead.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I'm clearly dead. You know I'm dead and dead. Ali
really dead because I'm dead, that's right, Clelia and holdn't
want to dex to and said I fell to it again.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Was dead.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Wow, that's disrespectful. They dropped eighty tons of bombs on
one spot, knowing that he was sixty feet underground in
a bunker where he'd been hiding for decades and decades,
and got him and he's dead and cool.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I don't know much about this weapon system, but I
read that it was essentially a string of explosions. Each
kerb Bluey went deeper than the one before until finally
the shockwave. So you know, pulverized his organs that it
was ninety nine man.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That had to be something during that period of time
where he was thinking underground and I'm glad he's dead,
but he had to be thinking, uh, well, this sound
like they're getting closer. I mean, the engineers really assured
me that there were no bombs that could reach me
down here. But so my coffee cup just ridled off
the table. We're sixty feet underground. Surely that's deep enough
(02:03):
or not. A couple of pieces of analysis that I
found quite compelling. First of all, the Wall Street Journal
editorial board writing Israel strike Friday against Heswell, a leader
in israela justified defensive act against an enemy back by
Ryan and bent on the Jewish States destruction. It's also
a lesson for the Biden administration in how to deter
(02:24):
an enemy using military force instead of hopeless pleading for
restraint and quote de escalation. Then go into some detail
and how the tit for tat responses period of Israel's
history was over. It was time to whoop a little
ass and clean a little house, and what a good
move that was. Here's a little it fits, it's perfect
(02:46):
with it. Here's John Kirby yesterday on one of the shows.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
This is a well armed, well resourced group. At the
same time, we believe that we do need to look
for ways to de escalate the tensions to prevent this
from coming an all out war, which is why the
G seven nations got together the other night and called
for a twenty one day seas fire to see if
we can't find time and space for diplomacy to work.
Both things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Time and space for diplomacy with Nozraala or Hamas now
the Mullahs after Nozraela is dead, they France and some
other EU countries joined with the Biden administration and calling
for a twenty one day ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Nozraala's dead, They're in disarray. We should have a twenty
one day ceasefire to make sure they can what get
their act back together, pick a new leader and hide again.
I mean, what the hell we just landed on the
beaches at Normandy. I suggest a twenty one day pause
to allow Hitler to regroup, because we wouldn't want to
overwhelm them at this point. I mean, what now that
(03:45):
they know our strategy, It's only fair. What I know
it is.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The whole neocon thing, which we're going to get to
in a second, has been amply discussed and should be.
What's the term for neo pacifism or whatever? This is
utter refusal to understand that sometimes force is necessary or
is it just for the freaking Muslim voters in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Ah, that's a good question. I also wanted to get
to this.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
This is a piece by Lee Smith, and I don't
know much about Lee, although alert listener Joe, who sent
along this link, pointed out that mister Smith was thrown
out of polite journalistic society when in the days after
twenty sixteen he sniffed out and exposed the Russian collusion hoax.
He was one of the leaders in the look into
(04:41):
the Steele dossier and all of that stuff and how
utterly phony it was, and really lost a lot of
friends in the journalism community.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I like him already.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
But his piece is entitled killing nazraala Israel shows America
how to win wars, and I'm just going to hit
you with a couple of paragraphs of this because I
think it's really good. Friday evening in the levant, Israel
targeted buildings in the southern suburbs of Beyroot, killing Habola
General Secretary has Onen Israala. This operation represents a dramatic
shift in Israeli strategy. Not only have they finally liquidated
(05:14):
an adversary they've long been capable of killing, They've also
turned a deaf ear to their superpower patron of more
than a half century. But at this stage, heating Washington's
advice in wars like taking counsel from the Angel of Death.
Just as the US is no longer willing or able
to win the wars it commits Americans to fight, the
Biden administration won't let US allies win wars either, by
(05:37):
ordering the strike on israela while attending the UN General
Assembly Israeli Prime Minister in Netnyah, who underscored the Jewish
States independence from the global consensus. This is the key
part the global consensus that has revolved not to confront terrorists,
but rather to appease them, whether they're plotting in the
Middle East or living among the local populations of Western nations,
(05:57):
including the United States. Israel's attack all so shows that
almost everything US and other Western civilian and military leaders
have believed about the Middle East for the last twenty
years was simply a collection of excuses for losing wars.
The questions that policymakers and Pentagon officials, think tank experts,
and journalists have deliberated over since the invasion of Iraq,
(06:17):
questions about the nature of modern warfare and the proper
conduct of international relations in a multi polar world, etc.
Can now be set aside for good because they've been
resolved definitively a couple more sentences.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The answers are as.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They ever were, at least before the start of the
global War on Terror. Contrary to the convictions of George W.
Bush era neo conservatives and the pro Iran progressives in
Barack Oba Obaama Obama's camp, securing a nation's piece has
nothing to do with winning narratives or nation building, or
balancing US allies against your mutual enemies for the sake
(06:56):
of regional equilibrium, or any of the other academic theory
generated to mask a generation's worth of failure.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Rather, it means killing your enemies.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Above all, those who advocate and embody the causes that
inspire others to exhaust their murderous energies against you. Thus
killing the Isralla was essential. No more winning narratives, nation building,
balancing allies against mutual enemies for the sake of regional equilibrium.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It means killing your enemies. So it's interesting to me.
Stanley McCrystal, do you remember him? M hm? What was
he in charge of something in Iraq? Maybe the whole
dang thing for a while. Yeah, he got outed by
(07:44):
saying some negative things about Obama and a Rolling Stone
interview and resigned. But anyway, he was on one of
the talk shows yesterday. He's supporting Kamala Harris over Donald Trump,
and he feels like Donald Trump's a threat to democracy.
Seen everything like that. But aren't aren't those military guys
worried that Kamala Harris will be four more years of
(08:06):
letting Iran or other enemies do whatever they want with
just endless capitulation. And we need a ceasefire. When's there
going to be a ceasefire?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah? Yeah, I would have to. I would be curious
to hear or read what macrystal had to say.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
A couple of things.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
We have a civilian control of the military for a reason.
And secondly, it's been said to me by more than
one military man. The higher you get, the less you're
a soldier and the more you're a politician. So again
I'd like to hear his rationale for that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, there are a lot of pundit's military people whoever,
that are Republicans. We've talked about it over the last
several weeks that are coming out now for Kamala Harris
and I just aren't you worried about this part of it?
Though a lot I would think so.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I mean, if they are even barely acquainted with history,
they would understand that weakness invites aggression. And I appreciated
mister Smith's commentary It's Smith, right, yeah, Lee Smith, because
he calls out both sides or a couple of different
sides of the wishful thinking that's infected American foreign policy
(09:25):
over the last generation or generation and a half, and
that is the neo conservative, you know, like it's a
you know, evangelical view of liberty of systems of governments
and the idea that you can just talk people into democracy,
including in parts of the world where it's never existed.
(09:46):
It lacks the hundreds of years of societal underpinning that
it takes for democracies to function. That was utterly unrealistic
and fanciful and just dumb on the one hand, But
then you have of the Obama School of academic engagements.
(10:07):
It's good a name as I can come up with
off the top of my head of if we just
negotiate people to death, we can eliminate the knee dever,
flex our muscles and be mean. We just don't want
to escalate. Let's not escalate, no escalating, escalate to de escalate.
Hesbala is not gonna escalate anything for a long damn time,
maybe never again.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, unless you give them a twenty one day ceasefire
to regroup and Iran can rearm them, then they might escalate.
But if you keep after them, they're gonna go away.
We are just a fat, happy, debauched republic. One more
hotspot to touch on before we move on to other things.
This is a big story over the weekend. Japan sailed
(10:51):
to destroyer through the Taiwan straight first time since World
War II that has happened. Japan Self Defense Force sailed
through the Taiwan straight on Wednesday for the first time,
in a historic move that angered Beijing good and marked
the latest tussle between the neighbors, accusing each other of
escalating tensions in the region. They were trying to send
(11:14):
a message to Beijing spent more than ten hours sailing
southward to complete the passage. China said it was highly
provocative and blah blah blah, they won't put up with
it or whatever. But Japan the third biggest economy in
the world by the way, behind China and the United States.
Wrong word, the United States and China just sailed to
destroyer through there. We're here. Don't forget about US. I
(11:37):
love that sort of thing. Biden administration never do that. No, no, no, no, no,
too preocative. It's escalating, right, they can't go soon enough.
If Trump could run a competent campaign, they would. But
we'll have to say it's a coin flip at this point.
Debate tomorrow night, Harris and Walls and and Vance be
(12:01):
interesting to watch.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I think JD is going to give him the beat down.
I really do, because JD is authentically what he seems
to be, whereas Vance is a big Walls rather as
a big fat phony.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well mind your own damn business might be one on
four again, depending on how the moderators are. If you
haven't heard this story about all the people voting in
Arizona for years now that quite possibly aren't US citizens,
and how many other states has this been happening in,
this is quite a story if you haven't heard it,
stick around, man. The version that I tweeted out him
(12:37):
and Rita Coolidge singing it together. Oh my god, that's fantastic.
Oh that is so tuned.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
The greatest thing Chris Christopherson ever did was deciding that
ms McGhee would have a name that could be a
boys or a girl's name, Bobby. If it was me
and Nancy McGhee, Janis Joplin would have passed on it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're probably right.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Or being probably a lesbian or at least bisexual, she
could have gone with Nancy McGee come to think of it.
But anyway, me and Bobby McGee works no matter who's
singing that song.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Right there a one night's stand with two lonely people
just trying to make it through the night. I don't
care what's right or wrong tonight. All I need is
a friend. Oh what an amazing song? Uh, he was
a college football player, a helicopter pilot, a Rhodes scholar,
a movie star and songwriter, boxer, and in the songwriters
(13:34):
and in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. Other than that,
he didn't have much going for him. Freaking Rhodes scholar.
Why are we fat as a country? Did you have
another Chris Christofferson note?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Uh no, ok, no, I'm just sitting here being fat.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Go on, So I met a Burger place last night,
wasn't even really hungry. I was riding my bike. Is
un of funny. I texted this to a friend of mine.
I'm riding my bike to go buy some crickets.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
And.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Somebody said, drim fuck Finn. Well, it was more of
a because my son has a lizard. So I'm going
to the pet store to get crickets on my bicycle
and person said, could you be more California? Are you
going to stop and get some avocado toast on the
way back? I said, right after spin class, I will,
but that is pretty California for me. I should be
driving my big Diesel truck to go get another case
of COR's light, watching the football game, not riding my
(14:30):
bike to pick up crickets.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
What has become of me? What's become of you? That's
just what I was about to ask. Anyway, we had
avocado toast over the weekend, by the way, I have,
you know, but it had bacon on it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
There you go. But there's a burger joint by the
pet store. Wasn't even hungry, decided to have a burger
and the scale reflected that this morning. But I'm looking
at their menu there waiting for my burger. This is
what they're like. Daily special, the Sweet Bacon Burger, two
beef patties made to order, topped with cheddar cheese, candied bacon,
(15:02):
and bourbon mustard. Because you can't just have regular bacon,
it's gotta be candied to add more sugar. They also
came with cheese fries topped with melty cheese sauce. And
as your beverage, a cookie butter shake hand dipped vanilla
ice cream with cookie butter whatever that is, topa wait
a minute, top with whipped cream and crumpled spice cookie pieces.
(15:26):
And I tweeted this out and said, I wonder why
Americans are obese. A cookie butter shake with your candied bacon,
cheeseburger and some whipped ham rudding and stop making up foods. Yes, exactly,
caramelized corn on the cob and what are you doing?
(15:49):
Cookie butter? I agree? What the hell is that sounds delicious?
I didn't get one. I'll have one. Please, let's find
out together. Why are we also obese? And I scrolling
through my notes? Oh, coming up? Arizona has tens of
thousands people illegally registered to vote. This is from the
Washington Post. This isn't like, you know, Fox News story
(16:12):
or something like that, and you think, well, maybe it's true,
maybe it's not. I don't know if you're a lefty. No,
this is from the Washington Post, so stay tuned. Buddy
of mine, when he got the news at Chris Christofson died,
sent Sunday Morning, coming down to Me. Johnny Cash had
a number one hit with it, saying the opening lines
are among the best ever in the history of country music.
(16:32):
If you've ever been hungover on a Sunday morning, that
is the greatest song of all time. Ah have been? Yes,
yeah exactly. Oh we show a hands And it's a
certain sort of lonesome feeling that he captures well in
that tune. They don't do that anymore in country music,
it's just all fun and pickup trucks and hot chicks.
(16:53):
What's it? You know? I like fun and pickup trucks
and hot chicks, but and the hippodie hopbeat? Where's the fiddle?
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
America's founders they were the gen Z of their day,
and when they were your age, they started a country.
What the heck have you done?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Suck at gen Z? That's what Bill Maher says.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Hmmm, we got more enjoy kicking the young. I'm not
sure it's justified, but I'll stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We've got more of Bill mars screed about the importance
of the Constitution, which I like hearing from a lefty
coming up in just a little bit. Before we get
to that, though, a couple other things. First of all,
this Mark Feeson of the Washington Post. You know I
have been concerned is a guy that prefers Trump over
Harris about his stance re Ukraine Russia. I did not
(17:46):
know this. This is Mark Theeson of the Post retweeted this.
I asked Trump about an interview and which he said
that if Putin does not agree to a peace deal,
he'd give Ukraine more aid than they've ever gotten. Had
you heard that? No, And the interviewer said to Trump,
(18:07):
do you stand by that? Trump said, I did say that,
so I can say it to you. But I did
say that, and nobody picked it up. They don't because
it makes so much sense. So Trump said that in
an interview, says he stands by it and that it
didn't get picked up because well, that runs against the
whole narrative that he's you know, week on Russia. Right. Yeah,
he's on the record saying if Russia does not agree
(18:31):
to the peace deal out that I put out there,
he'll give Ukraine more aid than they've ever gotten before.
That's a different story than I had been led to believe.
So there you go that the media is beyond shamelessness.
This story from the Washington Post, which is pretty damned interesting.
Mark Alpern wrote over the weekend. He linked this and
(18:52):
he said, this story's going to reverberate for a long while.
He could be right. I've read it twice and I'm
still making sense of it. Let me read from the
Washington Post. Arizona's Democratic leaders knew they had no good
options when they jumped on a phone call this month.
They had just learned tens of thousands of residents had
(19:12):
been registered to vote for decades, even though there was
no record they had provided proof of citizenship, a requirement
under state law. Their predicament was quoting the governor on
the phone call that the WAHPO got access to. The
predicament was an urgent and dire situation, said Governor Katie Hobbs.
According to the audio of the call obtained by The
(19:34):
Washington Post, Secretary of State said, critics would beat us up,
no matter what the hell we do. The Attorney General
worried they would be accused of rigging the twenty twenty
four election in a crucial state. What if you let
tens of thousands of people vote who shouldn't be registered. Yeah,
you will be accused of rigging the twenty twenty four election,
(19:55):
no matter which direction it goes. Maybe they could be
legally registered start, but they ain't. But they weren't at
the time, which is the law. They have to be right, right, Yeah,
changing the voting status back for the Washington Post here,
changing the voting status of these Arizonas risked defranchising legitimate
voters six weeks before an election. Were now five weeks tomorrow,
(20:19):
Letting them vote as they had in the past could
violate the law. So that is quite the situation. I
don't know what they're going to do, and I don't
know why. I hadn't heard this anywhere else. So for
years and.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Years they didn't bother to check people's citizenship.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Clearly, why register even though that's the state law? Why
were they not checking anybody's citizenship because they didn't want
to see that They forgot. Yeah, they decided it was
no point.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
No, I don't actually know any other states doing this,
any other swing states registering tens of thousands of voters
without asking for their ID. I just love how this
and a companion article goes with the time honored and
(21:06):
well worn Let's see, where's the phrase? Voting by non
citizens is exceedingly rare, according to elections experts. Then ask
those election experts, hey, is there any means by testing
whether people are voting illegally? They say no, No, so
you have no mechanism for figuring it out.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You tell us over and over, it's exceedingly rare.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Okay, super we have no tests for tuberculosis, but we've found.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Very few cases that's what they're saying. It makes me insane.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
If nothing else, this will lead to the corrosive lack
of trust in our electoral processes.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It's almost got to I think if it's close and
Arizona could have made the difference, no matter who ends,
the other side could jump on this, make a big
deal out of it. And maybe it's even justification for
not what was the term they were using with pooral
(22:13):
Mike Pence, validating the vote or whatever you call it,
mm hmm, certifying, certifying, Yeah, this could be justification for
not certifying the vote. If you, hey, look out in Arizona.
We got tens of thousands of people we have no
idea if they should have voted or not. And as
we all know, Arizona made the difference in this election
in my in my scenario here, So no, I'm not
(22:33):
going to certify the vote till we figure that out.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Tell you what you need a job done. You get
a choice between an Arizonaan and a child.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Ask the child. Wow, damn Arizonans. I'm kidding. My dad
lives there. You can always tell an Arizona but you
can't tell them much damn. You know what I'm saying,
my parents lived there for twenty years. Arizonans poor. So yeah,
just a dumb Oh yeah, yeah, I don't so that
(23:03):
story certainly could have legs. Hopefully somebody wins by big
enough margin that Arizona wouldn't have made the difference some
what the polls look like right now?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Every so often you'll have a videographer, a journalist whomever,
go into black neighborhoods and stop bunches of people and say, hey,
do you have an ID? And they're like, of course
they have an ID. I've heard that it's tougher for
black people to get IDs. They're like, everybody has an ID.
(23:34):
What are you talking about? Actually, you use a black
person find it perfectly, you know, doable to get of.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Course, what are you saying to me?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
And virtually without exception, In fact, it's hard to imagine
anybody ever answering any differently. Having established that, and I
think that's pretty established, why are you arguing for no
IDs for voting?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Seriously?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
What argument could there be If all of the arguments
we hear are phony, The arguments we've heard over and
over again for years are phony, and I truly believe
their phony. What other explanation can you come up with. Well,
they're trying to do something nefarious.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They believe the no ID crowd would be more likely
to vote for them if they can get into the polls. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Now, maybe it's that they just depend on the votes
of dumb people who can't who don't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
To bring their ID. Although who walks around without their ID?
How do you live a life without an ID?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well, and that's exactly what the black people say anytime
anybody asks them, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Of course I have an ID. And whenever you pull
people the question of do you think you should have
to show your ID to vote, it's overwhelmingly majority Yes,
every race, yeah, every group. Yeah. Anyway, So there's that.
Bill Maher Friday night did one of his little screeds
at the end of the show about the importance of
the Constitution, which I like hearing out of a lefty
(25:11):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Constitution Day was last week. It's an actual federal holiday,
but no one noticed, despite the fact that it's probably
the greatest legal document ever.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Is it flawed?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Of course it was written by humans and they were
all white men. But how about looking at the actual
ideas in it? I won't hold my breath for that,
because only fourteen percent of eighth graders are proficient in
history now and only twenty two percent in Civics, which
maybe why four and ten gen Zers say the authors
of the Constitution are best described as villains. Wow, it's
(25:46):
amazing since in nineteen seventy seventeen seventy six, James Monroe
was eighteen, Alexander Hamilton was twenty one, and James Madison
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Joe Biden was only thirty. Happy to hear somebody on
the left standing up for the Constitution. It left out
the good part. I agree, but I don't know which
clip has the good part. I think it's fourteen.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
I can play it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You think it's fourteen, we'll give a shot.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
The Constitution isn't perfect because it wasn't written by Taylor Swift.
But and yes, the founders made excruciating compromises. Obviously slavery,
but slavery was a deal breaker for the Southern States,
(26:43):
so there would have been two countries. And then to
end slavery in North America it would have involved invading
a sovereign nation instead of having the moral high ground
of keeping a union together. Would that have been better.
History is complicated and gen Z reasoning is not. They
think they're pure, but they're really just simplistic. They know
(27:04):
two things. White people did some very bad things, and no,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's all they do. That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Sure like hearing that out of a liberal. Yeah, although
I got to quibble with you. He's not a liberal anymore.
He's a He is a moderate conservative.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well yeah, I mean, if you're going to get into
the definitions, he is trying to conserve what liberals used
to be, so that would make him a conservative.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Well that's not what I meant. I agree with you
on that point. But the left is so far left.
Bill Maher is a classic example of if I didn't
leave my party, my party left me. The left in
America right now is hardcore radical theory.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Neo Marxists. I gotta be vague about this. Heard this
presented to some younger people. The part we played about
this is a short clip. Do we have that one?
(28:12):
The Founders were the gen Z of their day? I
was looking for that part. Yeah, whichever one that is.
We played it earlier.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
So America's founders they were the gen Z of their day,
and when they were your age, they started a country.
What have you done?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah? So my point was I heard this played for
some younger people who said, what the f have you done?
Bill Maher? Nobody, nobody on the the young crowd on
the lefts not listening to seventy five year old Bill
Maher for you know, he used to have influence among
the college crowd, like in the early nineties. I doubt
that he does anymore. Unfortunately, who does.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
We took them on our sides, TikTok the Chinese communists
do they actually do?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
There? You go, what a weird time. And there's Tahsi
Coats up on the CBS News being interviewed like he's
something important. Oh he's being asked about the Israel Gaza conflict.
But a good answer.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Why wouldn't you ask a con man, a race hustling
con man.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Wow, Wow, that's a perfect ending to this segment. Okay,
we'll finish strong next. Are you strong? He yetie?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I just want to say thank you, Jabiden, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
For putting country first and for handing over the reins.
I didn't want to. They made me and guess what.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
And by the way, the fact matter is no jokes
is serious right now, we're serious anyway, conclusion me and
Vice President Harris is the same.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh okay, haha, great stuff, Thank you job.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Thank you so much. Man. Maya Rudolph really put some
time into her impersonation because her hand gestures and head
movements and everything like that were dead on Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Just listening to the audio, I have to remind myself
it's not Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
She's really good. I just saw something on the TV.
I'm going to talk about during our podcast. One more
thing that we do after the show in a little bit.
So if you don't ever catch that, catch that where
of you listen to your podcasts? I guess so it's time,
as we do every week at this moment, to update
you on women's college volleyball. Congratulations to the San Jose
(30:37):
State Spartans who are now nine to oh to start
the season. Yes, way to go Spartans with their best
player being a dude. For the female Spartans, oh, I'm
afraid the term is a transgender woman. She he dude
led the team with sixty easy to remember dudes you
(30:57):
call he go on? Let well, the this woman has
a seaword. So I'll let you determine what you think
it is. Well, I guess all women have a sewer companion.
It's a different it's the Ricky Gervais thing. The problem
I have with you, ladies is you have a thing
or Richard. But anyway, yes, this dude, this particular player
(31:19):
led San Jose State with or led San Jose against
Fresno with sixteen kills to keep the team with a
perfect record of a nine to zero. Of course, they've
had two forfeits in a row. Boise State forfeited, second
team in a row to forfeit because it's been determined
that this player their spikes travel eighty miles per hour,
(31:39):
which is faster than any of these women have ever
experienced in their lives. Because really, only a man could
hit a volleyball that hard, and they're worried about the
safety of the teams. So boys, is kalas talented? Huh?
The gal with the penis? I mean back to you.
Here's what's unfortunate. It's a second time in a row
a team has forfeited and won't state why start saying
(32:00):
why the Boise State team pulled out of the match
and forfeited it without an explanation for the forfeiture. Have
the guts to say out loud, we're forfeiting it because
they have a dude on their team.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I have a very strong feeling that's a compromise between
the brave young women who are saying I'm not going
to be party to this, and the cowardly administration that says, Okay, yeah,
we can't make you play, but let's just pretend like
it's something different. We'll say the bus broke down, cowards.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Jack and Joe just had a very robust and productive
conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important issues
together in this moment in time, and now together in
this moment, they will have final thoughts with Armstrong and Getty.
This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime, and
(32:52):
it is time to share the final thoughts they have
been thinking. And that time is every day.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Ben I hope I he keeps Jim Gaffigan around to
do the tim walls. He was incredible. The body language
and everything on that was just really, really really good.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Let's get a finals out from everybody and the crew
directings up for the day wouldn't that be fun? How
about Michael Angelowar technical director leading the way.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Michael, I'm becoming that guy that hates young people, you know,
after playing that mar clip and dealing with with young
people today.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I just I can't take it in. You gotta fight
at Michael. You don't want to become that guy.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Katie Green are esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Katie, some comedy from the Babylon Bee Hesblat reaches.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Out to the United States for advice on how to
govern with.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
A dead leader. Oh, I get it, Jackie. Final thought
for us. I hate to make it politics, but I
was just thinking about the debate between Tim Walls and
Jade Vance tomorrow night. I really hope Jade Vance shows
himself to be a really smart, thoughtful, reasonable guy as
opposed to flying his magaflag. I think it'd be good
(33:56):
for the whole brand.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
I do too, I would love to see that. My
final thought is considerably less impactful. My favorite breakfast place
has a biscuits and gravy with fried chicken on it.
Oh yeah, it's my new last meal.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I mean, I don't know what they're gonna execute me for,
probably fighting against the powers that be, But dude, I'm
going for that fried chicken, biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Armstrong and Getty wraping up, but they're grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
So many people. Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong
in getty dot com. A lot of great clicks for
you under hot links there.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
We'll see tomorrow. God but less America.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
There's something wrong with I'm Strong and Getty and I.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Just don't know what it is, but there is definitely
something missing.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We gotta be fires share.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We got to build back, better, build back, the better,
the better, the better, build back the better.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Can't believe it's not, Butter, you know what.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Everyone knows that it's not what I was told.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Say that otherwise I'm speaking, Oh girl, baby girl, blah
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And on that possibly nightmare inducing note. Thank you all
very much, Armstrong and Getty. That was quite entertaining. Joe
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong
and Getty and he arm Strong and Letty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
They believe Hezbola has been significantly degraded militarily, but they
can see the group and its missiles still pose a
real threat, as does Hesbola's back at Iran and on Iran.
One official telling me if Iran does hit back then, quote,
they'll be hit harder than they can imagine.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, that's what you always say. Hes bullet leader Hassan
Nasralla is dead. You'll know I'm dead.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I'm clearly dead. You know I'm dead and dead. Ali
really dead because I'm dead, that's right, Clelia and holdn't
want to dex to and said I fell to it again.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Was dead.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Wow, that's disrespectful. They dropped eighty tons of bombs on
one spot, knowing that he was sixty feet underground in
a bunker where he'd been hiding for decades and decades,
and got him and he's dead and cool.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I don't know much about this weapon system, but I
read that it was essentially a string of explosions. Each
kerb Bluey went deeper than the one before until finally
the shockwave. So you know, pulverized his organs that it
was ninety nine man.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That had to be something during that period of time
where he was thinking underground and I'm glad he's dead,
but he had to be thinking, uh, well, this sound
like they're getting closer. I mean, the engineers really assured
me that there were no bombs that could reach me
down here. But so my coffee cup just ridled off
the table. We're sixty feet underground. Surely that's deep enough
(02:03):
or not. A couple of pieces of analysis that I
found quite compelling. First of all, the Wall Street Journal
editorial board writing Israel strike Friday against Heswell, a leader
in israela justified defensive act against an enemy back by
Ryan and bent on the Jewish States destruction. It's also
a lesson for the Biden administration in how to deter
(02:24):
an enemy using military force instead of hopeless pleading for
restraint and quote de escalation. Then go into some detail
and how the tit for tat responses period of Israel's
history was over. It was time to whoop a little
ass and clean a little house, and what a good
move that was. Here's a little it fits, it's perfect
(02:46):
with it. Here's John Kirby yesterday on one of the shows.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
This is a well armed, well resourced group. At the
same time, we believe that we do need to look
for ways to de escalate the tensions to prevent this
from coming an all out war, which is why the
G seven nations got together the other night and called
for a twenty one day seas fire to see if
we can't find time and space for diplomacy to work.
Both things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Time and space for diplomacy with Nozraala or Hamas now
the Mullahs after Nozraela is dead, they France and some
other EU countries joined with the Biden administration and calling
for a twenty one day ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Nozraala's dead, They're in disarray. We should have a twenty
one day ceasefire to make sure they can what get
their act back together, pick a new leader and hide again.
I mean, what the hell we just landed on the
beaches at Normandy. I suggest a twenty one day pause
to allow Hitler to regroup, because we wouldn't want to
overwhelm them at this point. I mean, what now that
(03:45):
they know our strategy, It's only fair. What I know
it is.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The whole neocon thing, which we're going to get to
in a second, has been amply discussed and should be.
What's the term for neo pacifism or whatever? This is
utter refusal to understand that sometimes force is necessary or
is it just for the freaking Muslim voters in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Ah, that's a good question. I also wanted to get
to this.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
This is a piece by Lee Smith, and I don't
know much about Lee, although alert listener Joe, who sent
along this link, pointed out that mister Smith was thrown
out of polite journalistic society when in the days after
twenty sixteen he sniffed out and exposed the Russian collusion hoax.
He was one of the leaders in the look into
(04:41):
the Steele dossier and all of that stuff and how
utterly phony it was, and really lost a lot of
friends in the journalism community.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I like him already.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
But his piece is entitled killing nazraala Israel shows America
how to win wars, and I'm just going to hit
you with a couple of paragraphs of this because I
think it's really good. Friday evening in the levant, Israel
targeted buildings in the southern suburbs of Beyroot, killing Habola
General Secretary has Onen Israala. This operation represents a dramatic
shift in Israeli strategy. Not only have they finally liquidated
(05:14):
an adversary they've long been capable of killing, They've also
turned a deaf ear to their superpower patron of more
than a half century. But at this stage, heating Washington's
advice in wars like taking counsel from the Angel of Death.
Just as the US is no longer willing or able
to win the wars it commits Americans to fight, the
Biden administration won't let US allies win wars either, by
(05:37):
ordering the strike on israela while attending the UN General
Assembly Israeli Prime Minister in Netnyah, who underscored the Jewish
States independence from the global consensus. This is the key
part the global consensus that has revolved not to confront terrorists,
but rather to appease them, whether they're plotting in the
Middle East or living among the local populations of Western nations,
(05:57):
including the United States. Israel's attack all so shows that
almost everything US and other Western civilian and military leaders
have believed about the Middle East for the last twenty
years was simply a collection of excuses for losing wars.
The questions that policymakers and Pentagon officials, think tank experts,
and journalists have deliberated over since the invasion of Iraq,
(06:17):
questions about the nature of modern warfare and the proper
conduct of international relations in a multi polar world, etc.
Can now be set aside for good because they've been
resolved definitively a couple more sentences.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The answers are as.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They ever were, at least before the start of the
global War on Terror. Contrary to the convictions of George W.
Bush era neo conservatives and the pro Iran progressives in
Barack Oba Obaama Obama's camp, securing a nation's piece has
nothing to do with winning narratives or nation building, or
balancing US allies against your mutual enemies for the sake
(06:56):
of regional equilibrium, or any of the other academic theory
generated to mask a generation's worth of failure.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Rather, it means killing your enemies.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Above all, those who advocate and embody the causes that
inspire others to exhaust their murderous energies against you. Thus
killing the Isralla was essential. No more winning narratives, nation building,
balancing allies against mutual enemies for the sake of regional equilibrium.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It means killing your enemies. So it's interesting to me.
Stanley McCrystal, do you remember him? M hm? What was
he in charge of something in Iraq? Maybe the whole
dang thing for a while. Yeah, he got outed by
(07:44):
saying some negative things about Obama and a Rolling Stone
interview and resigned. But anyway, he was on one of
the talk shows yesterday. He's supporting Kamala Harris over Donald Trump,
and he feels like Donald Trump's a threat to democracy.
Seen everything like that. But aren't aren't those military guys
worried that Kamala Harris will be four more years of
(08:06):
letting Iran or other enemies do whatever they want with
just endless capitulation. And we need a ceasefire. When's there
going to be a ceasefire?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah? Yeah, I would have to. I would be curious
to hear or read what macrystal had to say.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
A couple of things.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
We have a civilian control of the military for a reason.
And secondly, it's been said to me by more than
one military man. The higher you get, the less you're
a soldier and the more you're a politician. So again
I'd like to hear his rationale for that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, there are a lot of pundit's military people whoever,
that are Republicans. We've talked about it over the last
several weeks that are coming out now for Kamala Harris
and I just aren't you worried about this part of it?
Though a lot I would think so.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I mean, if they are even barely acquainted with history,
they would understand that weakness invites aggression. And I appreciated
mister Smith's commentary It's Smith, right, yeah, Lee Smith, because
he calls out both sides or a couple of different
sides of the wishful thinking that's infected American foreign policy
(09:25):
over the last generation or generation and a half, and
that is the neo conservative, you know, like it's a
you know, evangelical view of liberty of systems of governments
and the idea that you can just talk people into democracy,
including in parts of the world where it's never existed.
(09:46):
It lacks the hundreds of years of societal underpinning that
it takes for democracies to function. That was utterly unrealistic
and fanciful and just dumb on the one hand, But
then you have of the Obama School of academic engagements.
(10:07):
It's good a name as I can come up with
off the top of my head of if we just
negotiate people to death, we can eliminate the knee dever,
flex our muscles and be mean. We just don't want
to escalate. Let's not escalate, no escalating, escalate to de escalate.
Hesbala is not gonna escalate anything for a long damn time,
maybe never again.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, unless you give them a twenty one day ceasefire
to regroup and Iran can rearm them, then they might escalate.
But if you keep after them, they're gonna go away.
We are just a fat, happy, debauched republic. One more
hotspot to touch on before we move on to other things.
This is a big story over the weekend. Japan sailed
(10:51):
to destroyer through the Taiwan straight first time since World
War II that has happened. Japan Self Defense Force sailed
through the Taiwan straight on Wednesday for the first time,
in a historic move that angered Beijing good and marked
the latest tussle between the neighbors, accusing each other of
escalating tensions in the region. They were trying to send
(11:14):
a message to Beijing spent more than ten hours sailing
southward to complete the passage. China said it was highly
provocative and blah blah blah, they won't put up with
it or whatever. But Japan the third biggest economy in
the world by the way, behind China and the United States.
Wrong word, the United States and China just sailed to
destroyer through there. We're here. Don't forget about US. I
(11:37):
love that sort of thing. Biden administration never do that. No, no, no, no, no,
too preocative. It's escalating, right, they can't go soon enough.
If Trump could run a competent campaign, they would. But
we'll have to say it's a coin flip at this point.
Debate tomorrow night, Harris and Walls and and Vance be
(12:01):
interesting to watch.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I think JD is going to give him the beat down.
I really do, because JD is authentically what he seems
to be, whereas Vance is a big Walls rather as
a big fat phony.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well mind your own damn business might be one on
four again, depending on how the moderators are. If you
haven't heard this story about all the people voting in
Arizona for years now that quite possibly aren't US citizens,
and how many other states has this been happening in,
this is quite a story if you haven't heard it,
stick around, man. The version that I tweeted out him
(12:37):
and Rita Coolidge singing it together. Oh my god, that's fantastic.
Oh that is so tuned.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
The greatest thing Chris Christopherson ever did was deciding that
ms McGhee would have a name that could be a
boys or a girl's name, Bobby. If it was me
and Nancy McGhee, Janis Joplin would have passed on it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're probably right.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Or being probably a lesbian or at least bisexual, she
could have gone with Nancy McGee come to think of it.
But anyway, me and Bobby McGee works no matter who's
singing that song.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Right there a one night's stand with two lonely people
just trying to make it through the night. I don't
care what's right or wrong tonight. All I need is
a friend. Oh what an amazing song? Uh, he was
a college football player, a helicopter pilot, a Rhodes scholar,
a movie star and songwriter, boxer, and in the songwriters
(13:34):
and in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. Other than that,
he didn't have much going for him. Freaking Rhodes scholar.
Why are we fat as a country? Did you have
another Chris Christofferson note?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Uh no, ok, no, I'm just sitting here being fat.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Go on, So I met a Burger place last night,
wasn't even really hungry. I was riding my bike. Is
un of funny. I texted this to a friend of mine.
I'm riding my bike to go buy some crickets.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
And.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Somebody said, drim fuck Finn. Well, it was more of
a because my son has a lizard. So I'm going
to the pet store to get crickets on my bicycle
and person said, could you be more California? Are you
going to stop and get some avocado toast on the
way back? I said, right after spin class, I will,
but that is pretty California for me. I should be
driving my big Diesel truck to go get another case
of COR's light, watching the football game, not riding my
(14:30):
bike to pick up crickets.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
What has become of me? What's become of you? That's
just what I was about to ask. Anyway, we had
avocado toast over the weekend, by the way, I have,
you know, but it had bacon on it.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
There you go. But there's a burger joint by the
pet store. Wasn't even hungry, decided to have a burger
and the scale reflected that this morning. But I'm looking
at their menu there waiting for my burger. This is
what they're like. Daily special, the Sweet Bacon Burger, two
beef patties made to order, topped with cheddar cheese, candied bacon,
(15:02):
and bourbon mustard. Because you can't just have regular bacon,
it's gotta be candied to add more sugar. They also
came with cheese fries topped with melty cheese sauce. And
as your beverage, a cookie butter shake hand dipped vanilla
ice cream with cookie butter whatever that is, topa wait
a minute, top with whipped cream and crumpled spice cookie pieces.
(15:26):
And I tweeted this out and said, I wonder why
Americans are obese. A cookie butter shake with your candied bacon,
cheeseburger and some whipped ham rudding and stop making up foods. Yes, exactly,
caramelized corn on the cob and what are you doing?
(15:49):
Cookie butter? I agree? What the hell is that sounds delicious?
I didn't get one. I'll have one. Please, let's find
out together. Why are we also obese? And I scrolling
through my notes? Oh, coming up? Arizona has tens of
thousands people illegally registered to vote. This is from the
Washington Post. This isn't like, you know, Fox News story
(16:12):
or something like that, and you think, well, maybe it's true,
maybe it's not. I don't know if you're a lefty. No,
this is from the Washington Post, so stay tuned. Buddy
of mine, when he got the news at Chris Christofson died,
sent Sunday Morning, coming down to Me. Johnny Cash had
a number one hit with it, saying the opening lines
are among the best ever in the history of country music.
(16:32):
If you've ever been hungover on a Sunday morning, that
is the greatest song of all time. Ah have been? Yes,
yeah exactly. Oh we show a hands And it's a
certain sort of lonesome feeling that he captures well in
that tune. They don't do that anymore in country music,
it's just all fun and pickup trucks and hot chicks.
(16:53):
What's it? You know? I like fun and pickup trucks
and hot chicks, but and the hippodie hopbeat? Where's the fiddle?
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
America's founders they were the gen Z of their day,
and when they were your age, they started a country.
What the heck have you done?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Suck at gen Z? That's what Bill Maher says.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Hmmm, we got more enjoy kicking the young. I'm not
sure it's justified, but I'll stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We've got more of Bill mars screed about the importance
of the Constitution, which I like hearing from a lefty
coming up in just a little bit. Before we get
to that, though, a couple other things. First of all,
this Mark Feeson of the Washington Post. You know I
have been concerned is a guy that prefers Trump over
Harris about his stance re Ukraine Russia. I did not
(17:46):
know this. This is Mark Theeson of the Post retweeted this.
I asked Trump about an interview and which he said
that if Putin does not agree to a peace deal,
he'd give Ukraine more aid than they've ever gotten. Had
you heard that? No, And the interviewer said to Trump,
(18:07):
do you stand by that? Trump said, I did say that,
so I can say it to you. But I did
say that, and nobody picked it up. They don't because
it makes so much sense. So Trump said that in
an interview, says he stands by it and that it
didn't get picked up because well, that runs against the
whole narrative that he's you know, week on Russia. Right. Yeah,
he's on the record saying if Russia does not agree
(18:31):
to the peace deal out that I put out there,
he'll give Ukraine more aid than they've ever gotten before.
That's a different story than I had been led to believe.
So there you go that the media is beyond shamelessness.
This story from the Washington Post, which is pretty damned interesting.
Mark Alpern wrote over the weekend. He linked this and
(18:52):
he said, this story's going to reverberate for a long while.
He could be right. I've read it twice and I'm
still making sense of it. Let me read from the
Washington Post. Arizona's Democratic leaders knew they had no good
options when they jumped on a phone call this month.
They had just learned tens of thousands of residents had
(19:12):
been registered to vote for decades, even though there was
no record they had provided proof of citizenship, a requirement
under state law. Their predicament was quoting the governor on
the phone call that the WAHPO got access to. The
predicament was an urgent and dire situation, said Governor Katie Hobbs.
According to the audio of the call obtained by The
(19:34):
Washington Post, Secretary of State said, critics would beat us up,
no matter what the hell we do. The Attorney General
worried they would be accused of rigging the twenty twenty
four election in a crucial state. What if you let
tens of thousands of people vote who shouldn't be registered. Yeah,
you will be accused of rigging the twenty twenty four election,
(19:55):
no matter which direction it goes. Maybe they could be
legally registered start, but they ain't. But they weren't at
the time, which is the law. They have to be right, right, Yeah,
changing the voting status back for the Washington Post here,
changing the voting status of these Arizonas risked defranchising legitimate
voters six weeks before an election. Were now five weeks tomorrow,
(20:19):
Letting them vote as they had in the past could
violate the law. So that is quite the situation. I
don't know what they're going to do, and I don't
know why. I hadn't heard this anywhere else. So for
years and.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Years they didn't bother to check people's citizenship.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Clearly, why register even though that's the state law? Why
were they not checking anybody's citizenship because they didn't want
to see that They forgot. Yeah, they decided it was
no point.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
No, I don't actually know any other states doing this,
any other swing states registering tens of thousands of voters
without asking for their ID. I just love how this
and a companion article goes with the time honored and
(21:06):
well worn Let's see, where's the phrase? Voting by non
citizens is exceedingly rare, according to elections experts. Then ask
those election experts, hey, is there any means by testing
whether people are voting illegally? They say no, No, so
you have no mechanism for figuring it out.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You tell us over and over, it's exceedingly rare.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Okay, super we have no tests for tuberculosis, but we've found.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Very few cases that's what they're saying. It makes me insane.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
If nothing else, this will lead to the corrosive lack
of trust in our electoral processes.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It's almost got to I think if it's close and
Arizona could have made the difference, no matter who ends,
the other side could jump on this, make a big
deal out of it. And maybe it's even justification for
not what was the term they were using with pooral
(22:13):
Mike Pence, validating the vote or whatever you call it,
mm hmm, certifying, certifying, Yeah, this could be justification for
not certifying the vote. If you, hey, look out in Arizona.
We got tens of thousands of people we have no
idea if they should have voted or not. And as
we all know, Arizona made the difference in this election
in my in my scenario here, So no, I'm not
(22:33):
going to certify the vote till we figure that out.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Tell you what you need a job done. You get
a choice between an Arizonaan and a child.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Ask the child. Wow, damn Arizonans. I'm kidding. My dad
lives there. You can always tell an Arizona but you
can't tell them much damn. You know what I'm saying,
my parents lived there for twenty years. Arizonans poor. So yeah,
just a dumb Oh yeah, yeah, I don't so that
(23:03):
story certainly could have legs. Hopefully somebody wins by big
enough margin that Arizona wouldn't have made the difference some
what the polls look like right now?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Every so often you'll have a videographer, a journalist whomever,
go into black neighborhoods and stop bunches of people and say, hey,
do you have an ID? And they're like, of course
they have an ID. I've heard that it's tougher for
black people to get IDs. They're like, everybody has an ID.
(23:34):
What are you talking about? Actually, you use a black
person find it perfectly, you know, doable to get of.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Course, what are you saying to me?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
And virtually without exception, In fact, it's hard to imagine
anybody ever answering any differently. Having established that, and I
think that's pretty established, why are you arguing for no
IDs for voting?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Seriously?
Speaker 4 (24:03):
What argument could there be If all of the arguments
we hear are phony, The arguments we've heard over and
over again for years are phony, and I truly believe
their phony. What other explanation can you come up with. Well,
they're trying to do something nefarious.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They believe the no ID crowd would be more likely
to vote for them if they can get into the polls. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Now, maybe it's that they just depend on the votes
of dumb people who can't who don't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
To bring their ID. Although who walks around without their ID?
How do you live a life without an ID?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well, and that's exactly what the black people say anytime
anybody asks them, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Of course I have an ID. And whenever you pull
people the question of do you think you should have
to show your ID to vote, it's overwhelmingly majority Yes,
every race, yeah, every group. Yeah. Anyway, So there's that.
Bill Maher Friday night did one of his little screeds
at the end of the show about the importance of
the Constitution, which I like hearing out of a lefty
(25:11):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Constitution Day was last week. It's an actual federal holiday,
but no one noticed, despite the fact that it's probably
the greatest legal document ever.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Is it flawed?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Of course it was written by humans and they were
all white men. But how about looking at the actual
ideas in it? I won't hold my breath for that,
because only fourteen percent of eighth graders are proficient in
history now and only twenty two percent in Civics, which
maybe why four and ten gen Zers say the authors
of the Constitution are best described as villains. Wow, it's
(25:46):
amazing since in nineteen seventy seventeen seventy six, James Monroe
was eighteen, Alexander Hamilton was twenty one, and James Madison
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Joe Biden was only thirty. Happy to hear somebody on
the left standing up for the Constitution. It left out
the good part. I agree, but I don't know which
clip has the good part. I think it's fourteen.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
I can play it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You think it's fourteen, we'll give a shot.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
The Constitution isn't perfect because it wasn't written by Taylor Swift.
But and yes, the founders made excruciating compromises. Obviously slavery,
but slavery was a deal breaker for the Southern States,
(26:43):
so there would have been two countries. And then to
end slavery in North America it would have involved invading
a sovereign nation instead of having the moral high ground
of keeping a union together. Would that have been better.
History is complicated and gen Z reasoning is not. They
think they're pure, but they're really just simplistic. They know
(27:04):
two things. White people did some very bad things, and no,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's all they do. That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Sure like hearing that out of a liberal. Yeah, although
I got to quibble with you. He's not a liberal anymore.
He's a He is a moderate conservative.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Well yeah, I mean, if you're going to get into
the definitions, he is trying to conserve what liberals used
to be, so that would make him a conservative.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Well that's not what I meant. I agree with you
on that point. But the left is so far left.
Bill Maher is a classic example of if I didn't
leave my party, my party left me. The left in
America right now is hardcore radical theory.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Neo Marxists. I gotta be vague about this. Heard this
presented to some younger people. The part we played about
this is a short clip. Do we have that one?
(28:12):
The Founders were the gen Z of their day? I
was looking for that part. Yeah, whichever one that is.
We played it earlier.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
So America's founders they were the gen Z of their day,
and when they were your age, they started a country.
What have you done?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah? So my point was I heard this played for
some younger people who said, what the f have you done?
Bill Maher? Nobody, nobody on the the young crowd on
the lefts not listening to seventy five year old Bill
Maher for you know, he used to have influence among
the college crowd, like in the early nineties. I doubt
that he does anymore. Unfortunately, who does.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
We took them on our sides, TikTok the Chinese communists
do they actually do?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
There? You go, what a weird time. And there's Tahsi
Coats up on the CBS News being interviewed like he's
something important. Oh he's being asked about the Israel Gaza conflict.
But a good answer.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Why wouldn't you ask a con man, a race hustling
con man.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Wow, Wow, that's a perfect ending to this segment. Okay,
we'll finish strong next. Are you strong? He yetie?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I just want to say thank you, Jabiden, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
For putting country first and for handing over the reins.
I didn't want to. They made me and guess what.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
And by the way, the fact matter is no jokes
is serious right now, we're serious anyway, conclusion me and
Vice President Harris is the same.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh okay, haha, great stuff, Thank you job.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Thank you so much. Man. Maya Rudolph really put some
time into her impersonation because her hand gestures and head
movements and everything like that were dead on Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Just listening to the audio, I have to remind myself
it's not Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
She's really good. I just saw something on the TV.
I'm going to talk about during our podcast. One more
thing that we do after the show in a little bit.
So if you don't ever catch that, catch that where
of you listen to your podcasts? I guess so it's time,
as we do every week at this moment, to update
you on women's college volleyball. Congratulations to the San Jose
(30:37):
State Spartans who are now nine to oh to start
the season. Yes, way to go Spartans with their best
player being a dude. For the female Spartans, oh, I'm
afraid the term is a transgender woman. She he dude
led the team with sixty easy to remember dudes you
(30:57):
call he go on? Let well, the this woman has
a seaword. So I'll let you determine what you think
it is. Well, I guess all women have a sewer companion.
It's a different it's the Ricky Gervais thing. The problem
I have with you, ladies is you have a thing
or Richard. But anyway, yes, this dude, this particular player
(31:19):
led San Jose State with or led San Jose against
Fresno with sixteen kills to keep the team with a
perfect record of a nine to zero. Of course, they've
had two forfeits in a row. Boise State forfeited, second
team in a row to forfeit because it's been determined
that this player their spikes travel eighty miles per hour,
(31:39):
which is faster than any of these women have ever
experienced in their lives. Because really, only a man could
hit a volleyball that hard, and they're worried about the
safety of the teams. So boys, is kalas talented? Huh?
The gal with the penis? I mean back to you.
Here's what's unfortunate. It's a second time in a row
a team has forfeited and won't state why start saying
(32:00):
why the Boise State team pulled out of the match
and forfeited it without an explanation for the forfeiture. Have
the guts to say out loud, we're forfeiting it because
they have a dude on their team.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I have a very strong feeling that's a compromise between
the brave young women who are saying I'm not going
to be party to this, and the cowardly administration that says, Okay, yeah,
we can't make you play, but let's just pretend like
it's something different. We'll say the bus broke down, cowards.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Jack and Joe just had a very robust and productive
conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important issues
together in this moment in time, and now together in
this moment, they will have final thoughts with Armstrong and Getty.
This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime, and
(32:52):
it is time to share the final thoughts they have
been thinking. And that time is every day.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Ben I hope I he keeps Jim Gaffigan around to
do the tim walls. He was incredible. The body language
and everything on that was just really, really really good.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Let's get a finals out from everybody and the crew
directings up for the day wouldn't that be fun? How
about Michael Angelowar technical director leading the way.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Michael, I'm becoming that guy that hates young people, you know,
after playing that mar clip and dealing with with young
people today.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I just I can't take it in. You gotta fight
at Michael. You don't want to become that guy.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Katie Green are esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Katie, some comedy from the Babylon Bee Hesblat reaches.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Out to the United States for advice on how to
govern with.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
A dead leader. Oh, I get it, Jackie. Final thought
for us. I hate to make it politics, but I
was just thinking about the debate between Tim Walls and
Jade Vance tomorrow night. I really hope Jade Vance shows
himself to be a really smart, thoughtful, reasonable guy as
opposed to flying his magaflag. I think it'd be good
(33:56):
for the whole brand.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
I do too, I would love to see that. My
final thought is considerably less impactful. My favorite breakfast place
has a biscuits and gravy with fried chicken on it.
Oh yeah, it's my new last meal.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
I mean, I don't know what they're gonna execute me for,
probably fighting against the powers that be, But dude, I'm
going for that fried chicken, biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Armstrong and Getty wraping up, but they're grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
So many people. Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong
in getty dot com. A lot of great clicks for
you under hot links there.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
We'll see tomorrow. God but less America.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
There's something wrong with I'm Strong and Getty and I.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Just don't know what it is, but there is definitely
something missing.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We gotta be fires share.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We got to build back, better, build back, the better,
the better, the better, build back the better.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Can't believe it's not, Butter, you know what.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Everyone knows that it's not what I was told.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Say that otherwise I'm speaking, Oh girl, baby girl, blah
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And on that possibly nightmare inducing note. Thank you all
very much, Armstrong and Getty. That was quite entertaining. Joe
