Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jaki and he Arms from the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
C Please in your.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The throat clearing you just heard was one Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm Jack Armstrong here in the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Glad you didn't hear what I did right before that.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I'd like to clear out the whole system that you know,
Michael firing up to Mike's Prematureley.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Needed all the pipes reamed out. Oh yeah, And today
we're under the two legs of our general.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Manager, Vans and Walls, super heavyweight squaring off in the
Battle of.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The centre for the week. What a vice presidential debate?
The battle of the century.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Tell you what, I got a feeling just judging by
the pre show meeting, we're gonna hear some vehement disagreements
between the co hosts today. I thought the debate was
both unprecedentedly entertaining for a VP debate and also many
times more significant than any other VEEP debate in history.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I can't wait to hear why because I thought it
was insignificant and it's so tedious.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I cannot hear another forty minutes about abortion. I just can't.
I just can't listen any more talk about abortion.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I realize the average woman in America gets three abortions
a year, sometimes more on a good year and sometimes
less if on a slow year, but abortions just constantly,
every couple of months. Every woman gets abortion. So that's
what we got to talk about it the whole time.
I know, we've been talking about abortion forty minutes, gentlemen,
but we need to move on to climate change, which
nobody freaking cares about.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I can't handle it. And the constant non fact checking
fact checking.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I just I can't do you combine inconsequential with liberal
policies only and fact checking.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Debates on one side? It makes me insane. Well see,
that's the difference between us. I enjoyed the hate. I
was reveling in the hatred. God Dans.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Plus, you have a life, you got kids, you got craziness.
I'm living the empty and pointless life of the empty nester.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So I had more than enough time to watch those
two go at it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's what I used to say before I had kids,
living the inconsequential life of the childless this weekend, I
planned to you're one of those cat ladies Jadie Vance's
talked about. I took a couple of took in a
couple of different round tables last night online if you
want good analysis. I don't know how cable news channels
stay afloat at all, because like the best one, I
(03:06):
go to the Dispatch, they have a great roundtable with
all their heavyweights there, and then Mark Alprin puts one
together with pundits on left, right and center and everything
like that, and they're way better than anything you get
on cable.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But anyway, Mark Alpern's first comment was, I don't know
what to say. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know why that the networks keep doing it.
The only the only excuse I can come up with
is they do it on purpose. And he was talking
about the un hidden and not even tried to hide
the bias that they bring to these things anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It used to me somewhat subtle.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now it's just we're here to debate the Republican, so
it's us two and you against the Republican.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Is everybody an agreement on that? M?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, maybe I was just in the mood last night,
but I enjoyed it and that they utterly exposed themselves.
They made it clear to everyone in jd Vance in
case anybody had missed it, made it perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You said there'd be no fact checking. Now your quote
unquote fact checking me. Here are the facts. Uh, it was,
it was just it was egregious, unmissible.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I won't bog down the conversation with the question
I always ask, do they not know they're doing it?
Or are they just so deep and biased they they
actually just don't even notice, because that's what.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Bias is really. Yeah. Yeah, the unconscious stuff is the
most powerful part of you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're just unaware of your year. Your worldview is so different.
But it's just amazing to me. Hey, y'all, you don't
notice that when it's walls turned to ask you a question,
you just asked the question. But when it's Dvance's turned,
Vance's turn, you throw in a sentence that is a
fact in your mind that is disputable by many.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So what yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All, yeah, you know what I struggle with and everybody
struggles with this. I've actually read about this in the past.
When you would like to say something harshly critical of
a woman, there is almost always an element of her
womanhood in the insult.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's a female specific.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Epithet or or insult, whereas dudes are usually not always certainly,
but usually there's there are like gender neutral insults. But
if I was going to describe the obnoxious, smug Margaret
Brennan and the superior and utterly biased Noro O'Donnell.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Joe used a word to describe.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One of the moderators that I'm telling you would get
us fired behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Mind, I don't. I don't recall that at all.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And so what I want to I want to fashion
the proper epithet, But as I treasure and respect women,
I don't want to come off as sexist.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So I guess I'll just call them.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, I can't call them jackasses because that is a
male reference, right, She asses Jenny's obnoxious, biased, smugged Jenny's
I will say this, I do want to play in entirety.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Tim Wallas's response to the you said you were the
Tienman square masking her, but record show you weren't. His
explanation for that was one of the funniest things I've
ever seen in my life. And to Margaret Brennan's credit,
who I was angry at the entire debate. She followed
up and said, the question was why did you say
you were there when you weren't.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Shed let him get off the hook with that rattling answer,
which I appreciated.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
We'll have to play that later, having made a trip
to his boss's salad bar. Yeah, he tossed that for everybody,
but nobody was buying it. That's ridiculous. Another complaint, and
then we can get to your positive stuff. I suppose
when we go big at the bottom of the hour
with clips and everything like that. The amount of time
(06:55):
they spent on Israel Iran was way too little given
the what's going on right at the moment.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No China at all, No Ukraine in Russia? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No COVID of course, even though that was the biggest
story of the last decade, because that would have been
really bad for Tim Walls.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
There's a number of budgets, but plenty of abortion and
climate change. Glad we got that in there. You're so right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Climate change just forget it, forget it, nobody cares. But
the abortion thing.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They make it seem like women get abortions with the
same frequency.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
That they go to grocery stores. It's like at least
once a week. Uh, judging by the omnipresence of the issue,
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, and once again the fact checkers, who weren't supposed
to fact check, were wrong about a major point that
Tim Walls made around abortion and the law that they
had in Minnesota. But the fact checkers feel free to
weigh in even when they're wrong about the facts. But
you can get all that later. We should start the
show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this
What the hell the heck is it? Wednesday, October second,
(07:56):
Your twenty twenty four life will not be a born
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'd say we are armstrong and getting we approve of
this program.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Let's begin that officially according the FCC rules or rags,
the show starts at Mark Governor.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it only
later in your political career did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Why?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, I set in that office with those Sandigog parents.
I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Wow, that's an odd circle to run with assuming didn't
mean that, uh, and I believe the old coach miss
Folk there. Maybe another off putting thing was the number
of times I didn't agree with either candidate, which I
don't think has ever happened to me watching the debate before.
Like I didn't like JD's Bands's answer on the school
shootings thing at all. I don't agree with that at all.
(08:41):
I don't want to turn schools into fortresses and have
endless drills and all that sort of stuff at all.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And then of course Walls blaming the guns, which is
just insane. Yeah. Yeah, So there were a number of
things like that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Anyway, we got obviously plenty more on that, and who
knows what Israel might do today or tomorrow or next week.
I took in a ton of coverage on that yesterday.
I didn't see a single expert, like, not just like
cable news puntit, but foreign policy expert or military expert
who didn't think this is going to escalate dramatically. Not
(09:13):
one that there's a chance this is over. I think
there's an ability to cool.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not one.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Every single person said this is going further. Well, that's odd.
The president in the United States said, take the win.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, of course he did. That's not as clay.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I didn't realize that was the biggest ballistic missile attack
in world history, in addition to the fact that each
one of those ballistic missiles had twelve hundred pounds of
TNT on it and would have leveled multiple buildings. If
one had gotten through, it had killed hundreds, maybe thousands.
And will you talk about the war we'd be in then?
Holy crap?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Take the win? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Right? Worst president ever? Did he watch the debate or
was he already sound asleep dreaming of is on the
East coast?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
It aired at nine o'clock. He was asleep four hours
before it started. He was dreaming of being shirtless on
the beach. Just two more days and I'll be back
on the beach laying in the sun. How does he
got Harry Legs? How does they bring up the dock
workers strike either? How does mailbag look? It's coming together?
It's fine, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We do have a lot of highlights from the debate
and punditry around man. I saw some people representing Israel
on various cable news channels.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
They were hot yesterday.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
We have a lot to get to ahead gentlemen on
many topics.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Thank you, right, Darres Margaret reminding us that we need
to break.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Okay, our text line is four one five, two nine
five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I'm interested to see what the ratings were for the
VP debate. I gotta believe by the end of it
there was freaking nobody watching. But both of their approval
ratings went up. According to CNN snappole, they both went
up like about a dozen points each.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
E've an angry, nervous tim which doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think if you had heard what an evil, awful
person he was, he came off it just kind of
a uh, somewhat ditzy, nice enough guy. And jad Vans
came off as obviously not evil and very smart and
so yeah, both their approval ratings went up.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I thought Walls constantly looked either a angry or b
about to crawl out of his skin with nerves.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He did not impart a sense of confidence to me.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He didn't your business. He definitely looked nervous. I suppose
it's a matter of taste whether that makes you dislike
someone or not.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And angry, just a seething seething with anger and hate.
It's terrible. It hard to watch. Had to avert my eyes.
He's your freedom loving quote of the day. I love
this from the great Thomas Soa. He said, along by
alert listener Steve. There's usually only a limited amount of
damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.
For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with
(12:04):
high IQs.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh that is so true. Pretty good.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's been a long running conversation on the show about
the Gulf, the difference between intelligence and wisdom. And you
can have somebody who's extremely bright but utterly lacking in
realism or wisdom understanding how human beings in the world work.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I think maybe it gives you a hubris.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Also, you know you're smart, so you're more likely to
take a big bite or take a big swing or
whatever I mean, like the geniuses that put together the
Iraq war.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, yeah, Well that and you're much more effective in
going shit exactly the wrong direction. So between all of
those factors. Yeah, the great soul Man, you cannot read
him enough. Mailbag, Oh well, drop us note mail Bag
at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Going with a smattering
of reactions to the debate and no particular order. Darren
(13:01):
and Seattle, just take a second to think about it.
Close your eyes and imagine JD. Van's debating Kamala would
be like the Yankees playing a little league team on
a little league field.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Why can't he just be the nominee not the only
person who expressed that sense. JD.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Vance clearly the best of the four Oh yeah, oh
by Miles, Bryan and Sacramento. I'm betting I'm not the
first with this thought, but this VP debate is more
presidential than any of the last dozen presidential debates. Why
can't our presidential candidates be this well spoken? Walls can
actually put together thoughts, and Vans is trying hard to
hit issues. Can we just make it a wash and
(13:35):
make the veeps the candidates?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And then how about just the stability of it? Did
you like that or not?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
And then he signs off with f exclamation book, the
guttural cry of the frustrated voter. I fail you, brother,
TJ in the dang writes key Thoughts said to my
wife multiple times, I wish Vance was running for president.
Waltz was fine, seemed a bit nervous, won't move the
needle either way. I actually agree, and I'll explain in
(14:01):
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But that was the first debate in a long time
that actually felt like a debate, actually answering some of
the questions, arguing important Democrat Republican differences, showing at least
some respect for each other, and explaining things so people
can understand.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I'll be voting for Trump. I can't wait for the
Trump Air to be over with.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
At the same time, and then he says very nice
things about the whole crew here, the team, Michael Catie Hanson,
behind the scenes mostly and more.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is there more?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I don't think there's more, seems like there should be.
Let's pretend there is old Joe from Dayton, Ohio. Not
that he's old, but he's a longtime correspondent and a
fine fellow. Last night I was watching my first VEEP
debate since ninety two, Quail Gore Stockdale, Who am I?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Why am I here?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And I concur ninety minutes is too long. Nonetheless, I've
found it refreshing political opinions. Notwithstanding, I simply appreciated their
cordiality to weave viewers on each other. I would not
be adverse to them running again to each other as
Potus Macca make America civil again.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, how did you feel about the civility? Did you
like it? I did?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I absolutely did. I think both fellas tend to be
more civil. And also JD is smart enough to know
he had to counter the narrative that he's some sort
of maga demon from hell.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Right, but he is.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I mean hell, We've talked to him for a very
long time. He's an extremely thoughtful in both senses of
the word person. But they both did a lot of
just a lot of complimenting each other with a variety
of things, or being polite more than I than we've
seen it debated in quite a few cycles, deliberately gentlemanly
(15:46):
in a way that used to be obligatory. I miss it,
Billy and Irvine. Let's see, let's ditch Trump and Harris
and elect these guys. But they have to switch Potus
and VP roles every four months. This will force them
to cooperate with themselves in both parties in the House
and Senate. Too bad, the Constitution wouldn't allow it. Yeah,
(16:08):
not even close.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But I like the idea. Let's be horrified at a
Tim Walls presidency. Me too.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I am seriously I would be terrified Arizona Brandon right, so,
I thought jadvanced, absolutely brilliant. I had my doubts about
Trump choosing him as the VEEP candidate, but I have
to give him credit.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
PS.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I would rather watch Roseanne Bard to a strip tease
than hear Jack talk about AI again. I don't know
why the somewhat zoftig and aged Roseanne Barr comes in
for a kicking and Jack.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I find Jack's AI screeds fascinating.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's damn important whether you whether you want it to
be or not. Roseanne Barr, what an odd choice. And
we don't have time for this right now, but I
want to get to this in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Loyal listener Robert, who has been in the midst of
a natural disaster, talking about what an enormous counterproductive pain
in the acid is when big time politicians show up.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Oh, I don't doubt that a bit. So it's not
only not helpful, it's miserably unhelpful. Doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
The dumbest thing we do around disasters is decide governors
need to put on some sort of barn coat and
act like they're in charge in presidents whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
More on the debate and some of the analysis from
smart people stay.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
With us, Armstrong and Getty should.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
We got a lot for you today and a bunch
of different things. Some things learned yesterday about the doc
strike that are super interesting. Got that guy who's the
head dude for the union who talks so tough they
ever gave an ass about us until now. Guy makes
seven hundred grand a year plus benefits, and the benefits
add up to a hell of a lot. So he
actually makes a lot more money than that. Drives a Bentley,
(17:50):
has a yacht.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And the doc worker they don't do like, no care
about us work guys.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Well, and you may recall from yesterday's show we pointed
out that he'd been investigated for mob ties. Some details
of that trial because it actually went to trial, including
the fact that one of the defendants disappeared mid trial
and was later found in a shallow gray Really no.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Mob involvement at all here, nothing to see. Wow, I
hadn't heard that. Oh, this guy is straight out of
you the Godfather, goodfellas you name it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Also, we got to check in on Iran Israel that
whole thing that could explode into like a major major
people talk about it years from now war at any moment,
So we've got that coming up a little bit later.
And then you had the vice presidential debate last night,
which Joe believes is interesting and consequential. I believe is
not consequential and only made me sad and angry.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, I certainly won't debate that last part, although I
found it fairly entertaining at least for the first hour.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So I can't stick with those things much more than
an hour.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
And it's funny how often the big singer, the big
haymaker is lneded, like in the last five minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I've heard from a number of people, including people on
the right who are being fair that the last answer
Vance gave on January sixth, with his worst moment. Well,
the saving grace for that would be if it's true
and I didn't see the end, is nobody watched it.
Nobody saw the end, so he's safe there. It was
just him and the moderators and Tim Walls and their
wives the only people that are aware that that happened.
(19:25):
So here is my very brief take on why I
think it's going to be much much more consequential than
any VEEP debate in history. And that is because you
have two unpopular presidential candidates who seem to have topped
out their appeal and seem unable to do.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Anything about moving the needle. Just their last efforts have
been floundering. Kamala's honeymoon is over and people have woken
up to the fact that she's an empty headed puppet.
And Trump just finds it completely impossible to be appealing
to anybody but those who already love him. So you
have a highly unhappy electorate thinking all right, which way
(20:09):
do I go on this? And you had the extremely
articulate and intelligent jd.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Vance.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Unless you find, you know, whatever policies he's advocating abhorrent.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Then you're not going to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you had Coach Walls, who came off as the
self effacing midwesterner who we've been introduced to, but he
also came off as a nervous, angry, stumbling guy who
wasn't near ready for the awesome powers of the presidency.
People came away from that debate thinking that guy crazy sharp,
that guy not so much absolutely could be a couple
(20:45):
of percent in the Swing States.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Luckily they take a poll on November fifth and we
get a chance to find out. So here's the highlight
of the debate to me, and it's incompletely inconsequential. I
think the exchange other than it's just the worst job
of lying I've ever seen. So here's the original lie
that sets it up. Tim Wall's interview from twenty nineteen.
(21:12):
This guy's a fabulous every topic he makes a little
better than was real, His jobs, whatever, everything.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
When did you live in China.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
About late eighties?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, so you know I was there.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I see this happening in Hong Kong. As a more
serious note, I was in Hong Kong on June fourth,
nineteen eighty nine, when of course Tanneman Square appened. Then
I was in China after that. It was very strange
because of course all outside transmissions were blocked Voice of America.
I mean there was no phones or email or anything,
(21:45):
so I was kind of out of touch. It took
me a month to know the Berlin Wall had fallen
when I was slipping there.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So what's interesting about that, having never heard that before,
is there's way more detail there.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That I was aware.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So it's a little hard for it to be just
a All of us are stories of thirty years ago
or wrong. All of us, every human being on earth,
are stories of what happened thirty forty years ago or
wrong because of just the way the human mind works.
I thought maybe he might add to some of that
drift or whatever. But he had a lot of detail
in there what it was like while he was there,
(22:21):
and he wasn't there right exactly, and again inconsequential, but
it fits his patterns. So you have not just Margaret
Brennan asked him about that.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
We want to ask you about your leadership qualities. Governor Walls,
you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly
Tianeman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine,
but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting
that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of
that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, well, and to the folks out there, did get
at the top of this look.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I grew up in small rural Nebraska town of four
hundred town that you rode your bike with your buddy
still the street lights come on and I'm proud of
that service. I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked
on family farms, and then I use the GI Bill
to become a teacher, passionate about it a young teacher.
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the
(23:18):
summer of eighty nine to travel to China thirty five
years ago. Be able to do that, I came back
home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, we would take baseball teams,
we would take dancers, and we would go back and
forth to China. The issue for that was was to
try and learn. Now, look, my community knows who I am.
(23:38):
They saw where I was at.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
They look.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I will be the first to tell you I have
poured my heart into my community. I've tried to do
the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and
I'm a knucklehead at times. But it's always been about that.
Those same people elected me to Congress.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh wow, holy cow, you need a road map and
a navigation system for that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And then to Margaret Brennan's credit, and I was so
angry at her by that point in the debate, but
she followed up.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Governor just to follow up on that, The question was,
can you explain they All.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I said on this was is I got there that
summer and misspoke on this, so I will just that's
what I've said.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So I was in.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in
and from that I learned a lot of what needed
to be in governance.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Thank you, governor.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Wow, that was just a train record.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I liked in his first answer how he essentially went
with I grew up middle class. That's the official campaign
answered everything, And my favorite part was I grew up
in a town where you'd ride your bike until the
street lights came on.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What I've actually got the quote a friend sent to
me the entire thing in print, So it's kind of funny.
Oh yes, the first part your answer to you claimed
you're at Tinaman Square, one of the biggest events of
the latter half of the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You claimed you were there. You were clearly not what Gibbs. Look,
I grew up in a small, rural Nebraska town already.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
What what? Yeah? So take that, Margaret, I mean, that's
way worse than his boss Kamala's you know, explain your
economic policy.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Look, I came from a middle class family. You could
at least kind of think that might be going toward
the answer.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
There's no way I grew up in a small rural
Nebraska town has anything to do with the answer for
why you claimed you're at Tinaman Square when you weren't. Look,
I grew up in a small rural Nebraska town, a
town that you rode your bike with your buddies till
the street lights come on.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You know, I never felt like I was providing a
service as I did that very thing in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But if you'd like to thank me, that'd be fine.
And I loved that so much.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Margaret Brennan Edson's the follow up, and he says, and
so yeah, and I said that, and so that's what
I've said. And then there's just silence as everybody's got
that weird because you've probably been in this situation before
where somebody's busted, and like everybody's okay with just leaving
it there because we all know what happened and going
any further would be uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I mean, everybody's waiting for everybody else to say something
so that the silence.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Is so uncomfortable it's broken to be fair.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Now, he said he was in Hong Kong during the
protests and then went into China when he was in
Nebraska during the protests.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Okay, I got Nebraska town of four hundred town that
you rode your bike with your buddy. Still the street
lights come on, and I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well, a great full nation, Thanks you.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked on family farms,
and then used the GIL become a teacher. Okay, again,
did you say you were in China when you weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
What's especially hot about that is if he said, yeah,
it was so long ago.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I got the month wrong, but yeah, it was right
after the TM men's score stuff that I went, Is
that then we're done?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Uh? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I was watching the Dispatch podcast on that later and
Kevin Williamson of the Dispatch said, you kind of answered
that in two sentences.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yes, I got it wrong. I don't know how my
memory is wrong about that, but I just had it
turned around somehow the end.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
What are you gonna say? Funny how memories that all
get hazy? But yeah, it turns out was a couple
weeks after. Anyway, what I want to talk about is
the economy.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Come on, I came back home, and I came back
home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, well and sort.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Of young people. And does it include dancers? That's my question.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We would take basketball teams, we would take dancers, and
we would go back and forth to China for some reason.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'm a knucklehead of as I make up stories about
major historic events that I claim to have been a
part of, like Forrest Gump, and then it turns out
you get caught because there's records of that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So I'm a knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
And then I stammer and go down verbal cul de
sacs for about sixty seconds until uncomfortable silence takes over
the room.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm Tim Walls, and I have this message.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, play play seventy three again just because it's so
uncomfortably good.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Governor.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Just to follow up on that, the question was can
you explain theancy?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just
that's what I've said.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So I was in.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in
and from that I learned a lot of what needed
to be in governance.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Thank you, governor.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It reminds me of sometimes when when somebody's in too
big a hurry editing tape and they believe in sentence
fragments that they'd.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Meant to cut out and all there was.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
There's a handful of words in there that I'm not
sure what relationship they had to the other words.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
He actually actually, if he had have begun with his
ending without the pauses, he would have been in a
lot more decent shape. Boy, I've got more punditry to
get on this. Let me read one more thing before
we head toward our break, because you'll like this, as
I did not get as much out of this as
you did. Joe Klein, who was on one of your
cable news channels, he's a super lefty. He was involved
(29:30):
in the Clinton administration or back then. He it doesn't matter.
He's a big time Democrat journalist, couldn't hate Donald Trump.
And JD vancemore open about it on all the cable
news channels last night, said it wasn't as bad as
Biden's debilitated performance in June, but it was close, yeah,
(29:53):
which remember that drove Biden out of the race.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah yeah, So happened to get this note from Jeff.
I just shut off the veep debate. Jd Vance was
correcting the moderator's fact check, which they swore they weren't
going to do, and they cut his mic and done
with this BS TV off. CBS continues to I can't
say that on the air, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
We will. We will demonstrate for you what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
The outrageous bias of CBS rearing its pretty well coughed
head next hour. I hope you can stay tuned. Quick
word from our friends.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
In America to get ahead, I know on many topics.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That's why I'm trying to go to the commercial Margaret
or Nora but yelling at me. So, the federal reserves
dropped interest rates, and you need to call our friends
at American Financing today. With mortgage rates and the force,
now is the perfect time to consolidate debt and reduce
your monthly expenses.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So a lot of people been using.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Credit cards because of the prices at the grocery store
and gas and power and childcare. That debt is super
expensive with credit card rates being so high, but with
mortgage rates dropping, now's the time to wipe that debt out.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
American Financing is helping homeowners just like you, save over
eight hundred dollars a month on average. There are even
closing some in as fast as ten days. And if
you start today, you can delay too. You may be
able to delay two mortgage payments so there.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Are no upfront fees. To find out how much you
can say, call American Financing Today. American Financing eight eight

Called eight eight eight eight four to one, thirteen nineteen
for details about credit cards and terms.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
From Hetty. I hope this isn't stealing one of your headlines, Katie.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
But Kamala Harris is sitting down with CBS sixty minutes.
I think for this Sunday, they're supposed to be back
to back interviews with Harrison Trump. But Trump the headline
last night came out that he had backed out of
the sixty minutes debate with no explanation.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The Trump campaign is saying this morning, that's not true.
So I don't know which is which.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But it's interviews, not a debate, right, did I say debate? No,
it's interviews, Yeah, okay, interviews, back to back interviews on
Saty and Trump has done so many interviews. I wonder
if you just just pissed off at CBS.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
He might have watched the debate last night.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I thought, I hold, so no fact checking, huh, whatever,
screw you people, And I would I would understand that.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Good lord, if you were.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Lucky enough to have missed CBS's egregious dishonesty, we'll.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Have that for you next hour. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And Mark Alpern's explanation for it in his newsletter today,
I thought was really good.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
You're gonna like it a lot. We will get to that. Yeah, terrific.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Hey, let's figure out who's the reporting what it's the
lead story with Katie Green Katie.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Thank you, guys, Washington Post, IDF and has b LA
clash in Lebanon, Israel, and the United States vow consequences
for Iran attack.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, there is street to street, house to house fighting
going on right now in Lebanon with Idea forces and
Hasible US.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So that is something man I find Israel.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'd do what I was going to do last night
while the debate was on because of the way we're
so inner focused in this country on our own politics
and it's our you know, it's our favorite soap opera
and TV show. It's amazing how little attention yesterday's the
situation the Middle least got once the debate got rolling.
There is a great deal to be said, but little time.
(33:28):
We'll dive into that next hour, I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
From the Guardian, Russia claims strategic victory in East unease
in Moscow over huge spending on war. Currently forty percent
of their budgets going towards this war.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, Domestic politics in Russia is such an interesting topic.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Since it's a totalitarian.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Regime and super harsh restrictions on free speech, it's always
difficult to know how much dissent there is.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Now, they got the advantage of the number two economy
in the the world backing them up right Now A
thought China, NBC.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
More than one hundred and fifty are dead and hundreds
are still missing, many caught in Hurricane Helene's historic historic flooding.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, I learned more about why it was so crazy. Uh, climatologically,
we can talk about that more. But remember the term
the brown ocean. Brown ocean.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
I learned it. You will too, stay with us.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
From Newsweek Port strike update, Union turns down quote nearly
fifty percent wage increase.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
They making about seventy some dollars an hour with crazy benefits.
It's it's a really misleading to just give the salary
because they're one of those outfits that their benefits are unreal.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
From the New York Post.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
Third college volleyball team refuses to compete against transgender opponent
by forfeiting games.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
San Jose State Spartan's goes Bartans nine at all. Last
three opponents refuse to play because we got a dudo team,
but wait to have.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
A dude and win the games.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yes, yes, yeah, University of Wyoming said no, it's women's sports.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
From not playing a team with a dude, Way to go, ladies.
Hanson demanded that I put this in.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
How about the Padres Slam Diego wins game of the
National League Wildcard Series, beating the Braves four to one.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Go Padres, nice job, Anson slam Diego. All right, and
we have a new feature, guys. It's called Popular Memes.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
Kamala Harris to announce new VP running mate, and then
below it as a.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Picture of Kamala and Biden had a f care go on.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
And finally, the Babylon Bee doctors will no longer ask quote,
who is the president to test for concussions since honestly,
nobody is.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Really sure anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
I had this wow conversation with somebody yesterday. Who's making
the decisions on this major form POM stuff. I mean,
when somebody decides to send another a warship to the
Middle East, who's making that decision?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
And I heard in some of the analysis of the
Israel situation them saying you've got a president who's essentially
a president emeritus. He doesn't seem to be the president anymore,
and his VIPA is on the campaign trail not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
So netanyah, who cares what the US thinks? And he
should at this point anyway. Yeah, I can't wait till
the books are written about this who is running the
country during this weird period we're in. We've got so
much more on the way. Sure, I hope you can
stick around. Get the podcast if you miss it.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jaki and he Arms from the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
C Please in your.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The throat clearing you just heard was one Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm Jack Armstrong here in the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Glad you didn't hear what I did right before that.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I'd like to clear out the whole system that you know,
Michael firing up to Mike's Prematureley.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Needed all the pipes reamed out. Oh yeah, And today
we're under the two legs of our general.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Manager, Vans and Walls, super heavyweight squaring off in the
Battle of.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The centre for the week. What a vice presidential debate?
The battle of the century.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Tell you what, I got a feeling just judging by
the pre show meeting, we're gonna hear some vehement disagreements
between the co hosts today. I thought the debate was
both unprecedentedly entertaining for a VP debate and also many
times more significant than any other VEEP debate in history.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I can't wait to hear why because I thought it
was insignificant and it's so tedious.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I cannot hear another forty minutes about abortion. I just can't.
I just can't listen any more talk about abortion.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I realize the average woman in America gets three abortions
a year, sometimes more on a good year and sometimes
less if on a slow year, but abortions just constantly,
every couple of months. Every woman gets abortion. So that's
what we got to talk about it the whole time.
I know, we've been talking about abortion forty minutes, gentlemen,
but we need to move on to climate change, which
nobody freaking cares about.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I can't handle it. And the constant non fact checking
fact checking.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I just I can't do you combine inconsequential with liberal
policies only and fact checking.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Debates on one side? It makes me insane. Well see,
that's the difference between us. I enjoyed the hate. I
was reveling in the hatred. God Dans.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Plus, you have a life, you got kids, you got craziness.
I'm living the empty and pointless life of the empty nester.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So I had more than enough time to watch those
two go at it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's what I used to say before I had kids,
living the inconsequential life of the childless this weekend, I
planned to you're one of those cat ladies Jadie Vance's
talked about. I took a couple of took in a
couple of different round tables last night online if you
want good analysis. I don't know how cable news channels
stay afloat at all, because like the best one, I
(03:06):
go to the Dispatch, they have a great roundtable with
all their heavyweights there, and then Mark Alprin puts one
together with pundits on left, right and center and everything
like that, and they're way better than anything you get
on cable.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But anyway, Mark Alpern's first comment was, I don't know
what to say. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know why that the networks keep doing it.
The only the only excuse I can come up with
is they do it on purpose. And he was talking
about the un hidden and not even tried to hide
the bias that they bring to these things anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It used to me somewhat subtle.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now it's just we're here to debate the Republican, so
it's us two and you against the Republican.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Is everybody an agreement on that? M?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, maybe I was just in the mood last night,
but I enjoyed it and that they utterly exposed themselves.
They made it clear to everyone in jd Vance in
case anybody had missed it, made it perfectly clear.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You said there'd be no fact checking. Now your quote
unquote fact checking me. Here are the facts. Uh, it was,
it was just it was egregious, unmissible.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I won't bog down the conversation with the question
I always ask, do they not know they're doing it?
Or are they just so deep and biased they they
actually just don't even notice, because that's what.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Bias is really. Yeah. Yeah, the unconscious stuff is the
most powerful part of you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're just unaware of your year. Your worldview is so different.
But it's just amazing to me. Hey, y'all, you don't
notice that when it's walls turned to ask you a question,
you just asked the question. But when it's Dvance's turned,
Vance's turn, you throw in a sentence that is a
fact in your mind that is disputable by many.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So what yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All, yeah, you know what I struggle with and everybody
struggles with this. I've actually read about this in the past.
When you would like to say something harshly critical of
a woman, there is almost always an element of her
womanhood in the insult.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's a female specific.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Epithet or or insult, whereas dudes are usually not always certainly,
but usually there's there are like gender neutral insults. But
if I was going to describe the obnoxious, smug Margaret
Brennan and the superior and utterly biased Noro O'Donnell.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Joe used a word to describe.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One of the moderators that I'm telling you would get
us fired behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Mind, I don't. I don't recall that at all.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And so what I want to I want to fashion
the proper epithet, But as I treasure and respect women,
I don't want to come off as sexist.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So I guess I'll just call them.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, I can't call them jackasses because that is a
male reference, right, She asses Jenny's obnoxious, biased, smugged Jenny's
I will say this, I do want to play in entirety.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Tim Wallas's response to the you said you were the
Tienman square masking her, but record show you weren't. His
explanation for that was one of the funniest things I've
ever seen in my life. And to Margaret Brennan's credit,
who I was angry at the entire debate. She followed
up and said, the question was why did you say
you were there when you weren't.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Shed let him get off the hook with that rattling answer,
which I appreciated.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
We'll have to play that later, having made a trip
to his boss's salad bar. Yeah, he tossed that for everybody,
but nobody was buying it. That's ridiculous. Another complaint, and
then we can get to your positive stuff. I suppose
when we go big at the bottom of the hour
with clips and everything like that. The amount of time
(06:55):
they spent on Israel Iran was way too little given
the what's going on right at the moment.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
No China at all, No Ukraine in Russia? Are you
kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No COVID of course, even though that was the biggest
story of the last decade, because that would have been
really bad for Tim Walls.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
There's a number of budgets, but plenty of abortion and
climate change. Glad we got that in there. You're so right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Climate change just forget it, forget it, nobody cares. But
the abortion thing.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They make it seem like women get abortions with the
same frequency.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
That they go to grocery stores. It's like at least
once a week. Uh, judging by the omnipresence of the issue,
it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, and once again the fact checkers, who weren't supposed
to fact check, were wrong about a major point that
Tim Walls made around abortion and the law that they
had in Minnesota. But the fact checkers feel free to
weigh in even when they're wrong about the facts. But
you can get all that later. We should start the
show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this
What the hell the heck is it? Wednesday, October second,
(07:56):
Your twenty twenty four life will not be a born
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'd say we are armstrong and getting we approve of
this program.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Let's begin that officially according the FCC rules or rags,
the show starts at Mark Governor.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it only
later in your political career did you change your position?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Why?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, I set in that office with those Sandigog parents.
I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Wow, that's an odd circle to run with assuming didn't
mean that, uh, and I believe the old coach miss
Folk there. Maybe another off putting thing was the number
of times I didn't agree with either candidate, which I
don't think has ever happened to me watching the debate before.
Like I didn't like JD's Bands's answer on the school
shootings thing at all. I don't agree with that at all.
(08:41):
I don't want to turn schools into fortresses and have
endless drills and all that sort of stuff at all.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And then of course Walls blaming the guns, which is
just insane. Yeah. Yeah, So there were a number of
things like that.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Anyway, we got obviously plenty more on that, and who
knows what Israel might do today or tomorrow or next week.
I took in a ton of coverage on that yesterday.
I didn't see a single expert, like, not just like
cable news puntit, but foreign policy expert or military expert
who didn't think this is going to escalate dramatically. Not
(09:13):
one that there's a chance this is over. I think
there's an ability to cool.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not one.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Every single person said this is going further. Well, that's odd.
The president in the United States said, take the win.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, of course he did. That's not as clay.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I didn't realize that was the biggest ballistic missile attack
in world history, in addition to the fact that each
one of those ballistic missiles had twelve hundred pounds of
TNT on it and would have leveled multiple buildings. If
one had gotten through, it had killed hundreds, maybe thousands.
And will you talk about the war we'd be in then?
Holy crap?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Take the win? Right?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Right? Worst president ever? Did he watch the debate or
was he already sound asleep dreaming of is on the
East coast?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
It aired at nine o'clock. He was asleep four hours
before it started. He was dreaming of being shirtless on
the beach. Just two more days and I'll be back
on the beach laying in the sun. How does he
got Harry Legs? How does they bring up the dock
workers strike either? How does mailbag look? It's coming together?
It's fine, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We do have a lot of highlights from the debate
and punditry around man. I saw some people representing Israel
on various cable news channels.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
They were hot yesterday.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
We have a lot to get to ahead gentlemen on
many topics.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Thank you, right, Darres Margaret reminding us that we need
to break.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Okay, our text line is four one five, two nine
five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I'm interested to see what the ratings were for the
VP debate. I gotta believe by the end of it
there was freaking nobody watching. But both of their approval
ratings went up. According to CNN snappole, they both went
up like about a dozen points each.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
E've an angry, nervous tim which doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I think if you had heard what an evil, awful
person he was, he came off it just kind of
a uh, somewhat ditzy, nice enough guy. And jad Vans
came off as obviously not evil and very smart and
so yeah, both their approval ratings went up.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I thought Walls constantly looked either a angry or b
about to crawl out of his skin with nerves.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
He did not impart a sense of confidence to me.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He didn't your business. He definitely looked nervous. I suppose
it's a matter of taste whether that makes you dislike
someone or not.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And angry, just a seething seething with anger and hate.
It's terrible. It hard to watch. Had to avert my eyes.
He's your freedom loving quote of the day. I love
this from the great Thomas Soa. He said, along by
alert listener Steve. There's usually only a limited amount of
damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.
For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with
(12:04):
high IQs.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh that is so true. Pretty good.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's been a long running conversation on the show about
the Gulf, the difference between intelligence and wisdom. And you
can have somebody who's extremely bright but utterly lacking in
realism or wisdom understanding how human beings in the world work.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I think maybe it gives you a hubris.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Also, you know you're smart, so you're more likely to
take a big bite or take a big swing or
whatever I mean, like the geniuses that put together the
Iraq war.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, yeah, Well that and you're much more effective in
going shit exactly the wrong direction. So between all of
those factors. Yeah, the great soul Man, you cannot read
him enough. Mailbag, Oh well, drop us note mail Bag
at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Going with a smattering
of reactions to the debate and no particular order. Darren
(13:01):
and Seattle, just take a second to think about it.
Close your eyes and imagine JD. Van's debating Kamala would
be like the Yankees playing a little league team on
a little league field.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Why can't he just be the nominee not the only
person who expressed that sense. JD.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Vance clearly the best of the four Oh yeah, oh
by Miles, Bryan and Sacramento. I'm betting I'm not the
first with this thought, but this VP debate is more
presidential than any of the last dozen presidential debates. Why
can't our presidential candidates be this well spoken? Walls can
actually put together thoughts, and Vans is trying hard to
hit issues. Can we just make it a wash and
(13:35):
make the veeps the candidates?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And then how about just the stability of it? Did
you like that or not?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
And then he signs off with f exclamation book, the
guttural cry of the frustrated voter. I fail you, brother,
TJ in the dang writes key Thoughts said to my
wife multiple times, I wish Vance was running for president.
Waltz was fine, seemed a bit nervous, won't move the
needle either way. I actually agree, and I'll explain in
(14:01):
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But that was the first debate in a long time
that actually felt like a debate, actually answering some of
the questions, arguing important Democrat Republican differences, showing at least
some respect for each other, and explaining things so people
can understand.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I'll be voting for Trump. I can't wait for the
Trump Air to be over with.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
At the same time, and then he says very nice
things about the whole crew here, the team, Michael Catie Hanson,
behind the scenes mostly and more.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is there more?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I don't think there's more, seems like there should be.
Let's pretend there is old Joe from Dayton, Ohio. Not
that he's old, but he's a longtime correspondent and a
fine fellow. Last night I was watching my first VEEP
debate since ninety two, Quail Gore Stockdale, Who am I?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Why am I here?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And I concur ninety minutes is too long. Nonetheless, I've
found it refreshing political opinions. Notwithstanding, I simply appreciated their
cordiality to weave viewers on each other. I would not
be adverse to them running again to each other as
Potus Macca make America civil again.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, how did you feel about the civility? Did you
like it? I did?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I absolutely did. I think both fellas tend to be
more civil. And also JD is smart enough to know
he had to counter the narrative that he's some sort
of maga demon from hell.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Right, but he is.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I mean hell, We've talked to him for a very
long time. He's an extremely thoughtful in both senses of
the word person. But they both did a lot of
just a lot of complimenting each other with a variety
of things, or being polite more than I than we've
seen it debated in quite a few cycles, deliberately gentlemanly
(15:46):
in a way that used to be obligatory. I miss it,
Billy and Irvine. Let's see, let's ditch Trump and Harris
and elect these guys. But they have to switch Potus
and VP roles every four months. This will force them
to cooperate with themselves in both parties in the House
and Senate. Too bad, the Constitution wouldn't allow it. Yeah,
(16:08):
not even close.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But I like the idea. Let's be horrified at a
Tim Walls presidency. Me too.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I am seriously I would be terrified Arizona Brandon right, so,
I thought jadvanced, absolutely brilliant. I had my doubts about
Trump choosing him as the VEEP candidate, but I have
to give him credit.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
PS.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I would rather watch Roseanne Bard to a strip tease
than hear Jack talk about AI again. I don't know
why the somewhat zoftig and aged Roseanne Barr comes in
for a kicking and Jack.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I find Jack's AI screeds fascinating.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's damn important whether you whether you want it to
be or not. Roseanne Barr, what an odd choice. And
we don't have time for this right now, but I
want to get to this in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Loyal listener Robert, who has been in the midst of
a natural disaster, talking about what an enormous counterproductive pain
in the acid is when big time politicians show up.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Oh, I don't doubt that a bit. So it's not
only not helpful, it's miserably unhelpful. Doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
The dumbest thing we do around disasters is decide governors
need to put on some sort of barn coat and
act like they're in charge in presidents whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
More on the debate and some of the analysis from
smart people stay.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
With us, Armstrong and Getty should.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
We got a lot for you today and a bunch
of different things. Some things learned yesterday about the doc
strike that are super interesting. Got that guy who's the
head dude for the union who talks so tough they
ever gave an ass about us until now. Guy makes
seven hundred grand a year plus benefits, and the benefits
add up to a hell of a lot. So he
actually makes a lot more money than that. Drives a Bentley,
(17:50):
has a yacht.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And the doc worker they don't do like, no care
about us work guys.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Well, and you may recall from yesterday's show we pointed
out that he'd been investigated for mob ties. Some details
of that trial because it actually went to trial, including
the fact that one of the defendants disappeared mid trial
and was later found in a shallow gray Really no.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Mob involvement at all here, nothing to see. Wow, I
hadn't heard that. Oh, this guy is straight out of
you the Godfather, goodfellas you name it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Also, we got to check in on Iran Israel that
whole thing that could explode into like a major major
people talk about it years from now war at any moment,
So we've got that coming up a little bit later.
And then you had the vice presidential debate last night,
which Joe believes is interesting and consequential. I believe is
not consequential and only made me sad and angry.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, I certainly won't debate that last part, although I
found it fairly entertaining at least for the first hour.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So I can't stick with those things much more than
an hour.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
And it's funny how often the big singer, the big
haymaker is lneded, like in the last five minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Well, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I've heard from a number of people, including people on
the right who are being fair that the last answer
Vance gave on January sixth, with his worst moment. Well,
the saving grace for that would be if it's true
and I didn't see the end, is nobody watched it.
Nobody saw the end, so he's safe there. It was
just him and the moderators and Tim Walls and their
wives the only people that are aware that that happened.
(19:25):
So here is my very brief take on why I
think it's going to be much much more consequential than
any VEEP debate in history. And that is because you
have two unpopular presidential candidates who seem to have topped
out their appeal and seem unable to do.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Anything about moving the needle. Just their last efforts have
been floundering. Kamala's honeymoon is over and people have woken
up to the fact that she's an empty headed puppet.
And Trump just finds it completely impossible to be appealing
to anybody but those who already love him. So you
have a highly unhappy electorate thinking all right, which way
(20:09):
do I go on this? And you had the extremely
articulate and intelligent jd.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Vance.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Unless you find, you know, whatever policies he's advocating abhorrent.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Then you're not going to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you had Coach Walls, who came off as the
self effacing midwesterner who we've been introduced to, but he
also came off as a nervous, angry, stumbling guy who
wasn't near ready for the awesome powers of the presidency.
People came away from that debate thinking that guy crazy sharp,
that guy not so much absolutely could be a couple
(20:45):
of percent in the Swing States.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Luckily they take a poll on November fifth and we
get a chance to find out. So here's the highlight
of the debate to me, and it's incompletely inconsequential. I
think the exchange other than it's just the worst job
of lying I've ever seen. So here's the original lie
that sets it up. Tim Wall's interview from twenty nineteen.
(21:12):
This guy's a fabulous every topic he makes a little
better than was real, His jobs, whatever, everything.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
When did you live in China.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
About late eighties?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, so you know I was there.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I see this happening in Hong Kong. As a more
serious note, I was in Hong Kong on June fourth,
nineteen eighty nine, when of course Tanneman Square appened. Then
I was in China after that. It was very strange
because of course all outside transmissions were blocked Voice of America.
I mean there was no phones or email or anything,
(21:45):
so I was kind of out of touch. It took
me a month to know the Berlin Wall had fallen
when I was slipping there.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So what's interesting about that, having never heard that before,
is there's way more detail there.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That I was aware.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
So it's a little hard for it to be just
a All of us are stories of thirty years ago
or wrong. All of us, every human being on earth,
are stories of what happened thirty forty years ago or
wrong because of just the way the human mind works.
I thought maybe he might add to some of that
drift or whatever. But he had a lot of detail
in there what it was like while he was there,
(22:21):
and he wasn't there right exactly, and again inconsequential, but
it fits his patterns. So you have not just Margaret
Brennan asked him about that.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
We want to ask you about your leadership qualities. Governor Walls,
you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly
Tianeman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine,
but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting
that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of
that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, well, and to the folks out there, did get
at the top of this look.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I grew up in small rural Nebraska town of four
hundred town that you rode your bike with your buddy
still the street lights come on and I'm proud of
that service. I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked
on family farms, and then I use the GI Bill
to become a teacher, passionate about it a young teacher.
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the
(23:18):
summer of eighty nine to travel to China thirty five
years ago. Be able to do that, I came back
home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, we would take baseball teams,
we would take dancers, and we would go back and
forth to China. The issue for that was was to
try and learn. Now, look, my community knows who I am.
(23:38):
They saw where I was at.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
They look.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I will be the first to tell you I have
poured my heart into my community. I've tried to do
the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and
I'm a knucklehead at times. But it's always been about that.
Those same people elected me to Congress.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh wow, holy cow, you need a road map and
a navigation system for that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And then to Margaret Brennan's credit, and I was so
angry at her by that point in the debate, but
she followed up.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Governor just to follow up on that, The question was,
can you explain they All.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
I said on this was is I got there that
summer and misspoke on this, so I will just that's
what I've said.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So I was in.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in
and from that I learned a lot of what needed
to be in governance.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Thank you, governor.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Wow, that was just a train record.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I liked in his first answer how he essentially went
with I grew up middle class. That's the official campaign
answered everything, And my favorite part was I grew up
in a town where you'd ride your bike until the
street lights came on.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
And I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What I've actually got the quote a friend sent to
me the entire thing in print, So it's kind of funny.
Oh yes, the first part your answer to you claimed
you're at Tinaman Square, one of the biggest events of
the latter half of the twentieth century.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You claimed you were there. You were clearly not what Gibbs. Look,
I grew up in a small, rural Nebraska town already.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
What what? Yeah? So take that, Margaret, I mean, that's
way worse than his boss Kamala's you know, explain your
economic policy.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Look, I came from a middle class family. You could
at least kind of think that might be going toward
the answer.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
There's no way I grew up in a small rural
Nebraska town has anything to do with the answer for
why you claimed you're at Tinaman Square when you weren't. Look,
I grew up in a small rural Nebraska town, a
town that you rode your bike with your buddies till
the street lights come on.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You know, I never felt like I was providing a
service as I did that very thing in the Midwest.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But if you'd like to thank me, that'd be fine.
And I loved that so much.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Margaret Brennan Edson's the follow up, and he says, and
so yeah, and I said that, and so that's what
I've said. And then there's just silence as everybody's got
that weird because you've probably been in this situation before
where somebody's busted, and like everybody's okay with just leaving
it there because we all know what happened and going
any further would be uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I mean, everybody's waiting for everybody else to say something
so that the silence.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Is so uncomfortable it's broken to be fair.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Now, he said he was in Hong Kong during the
protests and then went into China when he was in
Nebraska during the protests.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Okay, I got Nebraska town of four hundred town that
you rode your bike with your buddy. Still the street
lights come on, and I'm proud of that service.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well, a great full nation, Thanks you.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked on family farms,
and then used the GIL become a teacher. Okay, again,
did you say you were in China when you weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
What's especially hot about that is if he said, yeah,
it was so long ago.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I got the month wrong, but yeah, it was right
after the TM men's score stuff that I went, Is
that then we're done?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Uh? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I was watching the Dispatch podcast on that later and
Kevin Williamson of the Dispatch said, you kind of answered
that in two sentences.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yes, I got it wrong. I don't know how my
memory is wrong about that, but I just had it
turned around somehow the end.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
What are you gonna say? Funny how memories that all
get hazy? But yeah, it turns out was a couple
weeks after. Anyway, what I want to talk about is
the economy.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Come on, I came back home, and I came back
home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, well and sort.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Of young people. And does it include dancers? That's my question.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We would take basketball teams, we would take dancers, and
we would go back and forth to China for some reason.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'm a knucklehead of as I make up stories about
major historic events that I claim to have been a
part of, like Forrest Gump, and then it turns out
you get caught because there's records of that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So I'm a knucklehead.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
And then I stammer and go down verbal cul de
sacs for about sixty seconds until uncomfortable silence takes over
the room.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm Tim Walls, and I have this message.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, play play seventy three again just because it's so
uncomfortably good.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Governor.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Just to follow up on that, the question was can
you explain theancy?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
All I said on this was is I got there
that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just
that's what I've said.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So I was in.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in
and from that I learned a lot of what needed
to be in governance.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Thank you, governor.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It reminds me of sometimes when when somebody's in too
big a hurry editing tape and they believe in sentence
fragments that they'd.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Meant to cut out and all there was.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
There's a handful of words in there that I'm not
sure what relationship they had to the other words.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
He actually actually, if he had have begun with his
ending without the pauses, he would have been in a
lot more decent shape. Boy, I've got more punditry to
get on this. Let me read one more thing before
we head toward our break, because you'll like this, as
I did not get as much out of this as
you did. Joe Klein, who was on one of your
cable news channels, he's a super lefty. He was involved
(29:30):
in the Clinton administration or back then. He it doesn't matter.
He's a big time Democrat journalist, couldn't hate Donald Trump.
And JD vancemore open about it on all the cable
news channels last night, said it wasn't as bad as
Biden's debilitated performance in June, but it was close, yeah,
(29:53):
which remember that drove Biden out of the race.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah yeah, So happened to get this note from Jeff.
I just shut off the veep debate. Jd Vance was
correcting the moderator's fact check, which they swore they weren't
going to do, and they cut his mic and done
with this BS TV off. CBS continues to I can't
say that on the air, Jeff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
We will. We will demonstrate for you what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
The outrageous bias of CBS rearing its pretty well coughed
head next hour. I hope you can stay tuned. Quick
word from our friends.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
In America to get ahead, I know on many topics.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That's why I'm trying to go to the commercial Margaret
or Nora but yelling at me. So, the federal reserves
dropped interest rates, and you need to call our friends
at American Financing today. With mortgage rates and the force,
now is the perfect time to consolidate debt and reduce
your monthly expenses.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So a lot of people been using.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Credit cards because of the prices at the grocery store
and gas and power and childcare. That debt is super
expensive with credit card rates being so high, but with
mortgage rates dropping, now's the time to wipe that debt out.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
American Financing is helping homeowners just like you, save over
eight hundred dollars a month on average. There are even
closing some in as fast as ten days. And if
you start today, you can delay too. You may be
able to delay two mortgage payments so there.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Are no upfront fees. To find out how much you
can say, call American Financing Today. American Financing eight eight

Speaker 2 (31:33):
If you have for rates in the five s at
six point zero one four percent for well qualified borrowers.
Called eight eight eight eight four to one, thirteen nineteen
for details about credit cards and terms.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
From Hetty. I hope this isn't stealing one of your headlines, Katie.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
But Kamala Harris is sitting down with CBS sixty minutes.
I think for this Sunday, they're supposed to be back
to back interviews with Harrison Trump. But Trump the headline
last night came out that he had backed out of
the sixty minutes debate with no explanation.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The Trump campaign is saying this morning, that's not true.
So I don't know which is which.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But it's interviews, not a debate, right, did I say debate? No,
it's interviews, Yeah, okay, interviews, back to back interviews on
Saty and Trump has done so many interviews. I wonder
if you just just pissed off at CBS.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
He might have watched the debate last night.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I thought, I hold, so no fact checking, huh, whatever,
screw you people, And I would I would understand that.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Good lord, if you were.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Lucky enough to have missed CBS's egregious dishonesty, we'll.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Have that for you next hour. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And Mark Alpern's explanation for it in his newsletter today,
I thought was really good.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
You're gonna like it a lot. We will get to that. Yeah, terrific.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Hey, let's figure out who's the reporting what it's the
lead story with Katie Green Katie.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Thank you, guys, Washington Post, IDF and has b LA
clash in Lebanon, Israel, and the United States vow consequences
for Iran attack.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, there is street to street, house to house fighting
going on right now in Lebanon with Idea forces and
Hasible US.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So that is something man I find Israel.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'd do what I was going to do last night
while the debate was on because of the way we're
so inner focused in this country on our own politics
and it's our you know, it's our favorite soap opera
and TV show. It's amazing how little attention yesterday's the
situation the Middle least got once the debate got rolling.
There is a great deal to be said, but little time.
(33:28):
We'll dive into that next hour, I'm sure.
Speaker 7 (33:31):

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
