Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Katty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Only
when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
(00:32):
Let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant,
brilliant billion of stars. That's a little over the top
bright billion of stars. I didn't ship over your applause.
I didn't watch her speech. I just I read Donk
Jonathan Turlie, who we like, say he thought it was
(00:54):
gracious and great and what a concession speech should be
and consistent. Concession speeches don't matter at all. And they
just know, no, it was fine. They're for your supporters.
They're for your supporters, so they feel like there's some
sort of I hate the term closure, but like end
to this thing after working and donating and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I would like to make a very brief statement, then
I will shut up. Under disgusted, Joe Biden insisting on
running again was one of the most ridiculous, unpatriotic, selfish
acts of any politician in American history.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Somebody will write the book, and I can't wait to
hear it. I mean, who was involved in that decision.
Jill obviously pushed it. I mean we saw her. She's
the villain. She might be the number one villain in
the entire Joe Biden's story because obviously she's the closest
person to him, has the best idea of how bad
a shape he was in. And yet you answered all
(01:47):
the questions Joe. I mean, she was just gonna ride
that all the way into another term. You were gonna
let the world have that guy be the leader with
all the unrest we have on the planet. You're you're
willing to risk that so you could what keep having
that to the American people? Yeah, keep having the White
House chef access or what I mean. That's just uh,
(02:09):
she is the villain. Yeah, at some point she needs
to be recognized as the villain. He can't play Biden.
I mean you just did. But I don't know how
well his brain worked. How well do how well do
people deep into dimension know they've got dementia? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And she forgot her hippocratic oath, not a real doctor,
the doctor.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's funny. And oh I read a piece from Tim
Carney I think yesterday who we like never donate money
to a presidential campaign, and he was using the chart
on how First of all, they outspent Trump a gazillion
to one in every swing state except Pennsylvania and lost.
But they have plenty of money they have. Donate to
(02:50):
your local races. If there are people you care about
they actually need money, another billboard or ad could help them.
But do not give money to presidential candidates. They got
more what even they know what to do with, which
is generally true. This is our favorite thing of the day.
We love to hate it. This is Jimmy Kimmel on
his show last night, being a complete psycho about his
(03:15):
read of the presidential election. Here we go, Let's be honest.
It was a terrible night last night.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It was a terrible night for women, for children, for
the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make
this country go. For healthcare, for our climate, for science,
for journalism, for.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Justice, for free speech.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was a terrible night for poor people, for the
middle class, for seniors to reliance, social security, for our
allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The truth here you sing, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
See and decency. And it was a terrible night for everyone.
Who voted against him, and guess what, it was a
bad night.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
For everyone who voted for him too.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You just don't realize it yet.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh nice condescending in there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Wow, so stunningly gullible, but follows it up with a
chaser of condescension, a really endearing couple of qualities.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, he believes every.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Single harum scarem threat made by his own side.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Remember we had that couple day conversation of do you
think Trump supporters are garbage or are you just referring
to the one guy with the joke? You know, I
don't know what Biden had in his head, but clearly
the Jimmy Kimmels of the world think all the Trump
supporters are garbage or just too stupid to realize they
voted away their interests.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, well they're such bigots they don't understand that they've
committed suicide.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're insane, dude, You're insane. Well, he's just he's gullible.
I mean, he's breaking down and crying over is a
bad night for children, for women, for working immigrants who
overwhelmingly voted for true Trump. Also, I guess you think
they're stupid or evil against.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Themselves explain the whole old people who depend on social Security.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What in the world are you talking about. I would
like to know, point by point why he thinks it
was so bad for children. I mean, let's let's get
into the specifics. So why you're so emotionally I say,
trans children? Who will be judged?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
No, who will be you know what? Gosh, dang it,
I've been holding on this forever. There has been another
study that shows the vast, fast, vast, vast, vast majority
of so called trans children grow out of it and or,
as one professional put it, I can talk these kids
out of it in five minutes. It's just a crazy
notion that's in their heads and it's easily dealt with anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Back to you, it's such a terrible night for women,
for children, for working immigrants, to make this country go
for free stanch right the press. What are you talking?
I don't even know. I can't even imagine. You're crazy. Yes, Katie,
I would just like to confirm as a woman, I
(06:02):
had a great time on Tuesday there. Well, there we go,
folkswoman for all women right here. Total blast. I had
a total blast. Just I I don't I go back
and forth between Jimmy kimmeloll just mock because he's ultra
(06:24):
uber wealthy and his life is fine, So he's just
worried on behalf of everyone else, I guess. But for
for for regular people who are that upset, I guess
I just mostly feel bad for you that you've been
so misled by your friends or your college professors, or
whatever Twitter feed you're on or something TikTok that has
led you to believe that this is true. What are
(06:45):
you freaking talking about? Yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. God, I'd say,
here's what's most interesting to me. I don't know how
many people remember what it was like after Trump won
in twenty sixteen. For the following hours, days, weeks, and months,
(07:07):
there was a belief by the left and dominant media
played it this way completely that this was just temporary,
there was some sort of mistake made. Russia fixed this.
It's a mistake. He'll be out of office soon, he
won't even be he won't even take the office. We'll
get this fixed before. I mean, that's the way it
was portrayed. Do you not remember that? Do you remember
(07:27):
Obama taking so much heat because Biden's going to invite
Trump to the White House here in like the next week.
Do you remember how much heat Obama took for no, no, no,
don't let him come sit at the White House. That's
acting like this is real, this isn't going to happen
Saturday Night Live, acting like it was going to be
a shock when it turned out he's actually going to
be president, maybe even the whole time. Yeah, So that's
(07:50):
the way it played out in twenty sixteen. This one
is so different, even with the you know, despite Jimmy
Kimmel and the various things I saw on cable news,
there's a full recognition Trump was duly elected by a
majority of Americans and is going to be president of
the United States. That gives him so much better a
start than he had last time around. I mean, it's
(08:11):
apples and oranges, because it was seen as like a
complete you're not buying this, are you? That Trump was elected?
Of course he wasn't Russian something. We're going to figure
this out before January twentieth or very shortly thereafter, and
he will be booted out. Well, none of that. This
time around. It's fully accepted as a win for Donald Trump,
(08:33):
and I think that's going to help his chances of,
you know, actually holding the office and doing anything so
much so the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Last time it was denial that it's real. This time
they've accepted that it's real. Andrew Sullivan, the brilliant conservative
gay writer, just wrote, purely anecdotally, my living dem friends
all united and condemning America for being racist and misogynistic
this morning. I really don't want to learn or even
think outside their box. It's gonna take a while to
(09:04):
program some of them.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, Like I said a friend of mine who a
guy put his arm around her at the office and said, uh,
I don't know how to Are you okay? She was okay,
she wanted Trump to win, But uh, are you okay?
It's racism, is the only explanation, the guy said. Really,
you don't think the economy in the border might have
played a role, even though everybody said in every pole
(09:31):
those were their top.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Issues, okay, including your favorite liberal publications. So if you
really don't know how to reach those people, I don't
know either. I don't know of dance. Maybe logic doesn't work,
so hey.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Maybe this is actually more troubling if and it's always
hard to tell what percentage of people actually believe this
If it's you know, all of Hollywood in that crowd
and then a handful of crazies in California, I don't know.
Do most liberals think it was racism or sexism that
(10:09):
caused Trump to win At the dominant media?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They do. Hey, here's a cheerier, more patriotic and note
for you. Warrior Foundation Freedom Station is celebrating their twenty
year anniversary. You've heard us talking about this incredible foundation
for years and the countdown is on to their annual
Warrior Foundation Freedom Station givethon, which takes place next Thursday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Please consider making a donation. I have every year for
years to fly our ill and injured Marine soldiers and
sailors home for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Everyone deserves to spend the holidays with their loved ones,
especially the men and women who so bravely sacrificed for
the US of A. And we've seen it firsthand. Warrior
Foundation Freedom Station continues to make a huge impact on
the lives of our warriors because of your support.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And this year they're building their third transitional housing property
designed to craft a sense of community, promote recovery, and
cultivate independence for our warriors. It's the least we can
do after what they've given us.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Now listen to the name because it's not the other
one that's kind of similar. Warrior Foundation dot org. It's
tax deductible, it's wonderful flying or Warrior's Home.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
For the holidays. It's such a beautiful thing. Warrior Foundation
dot org. Thank you. Elon Musk's a strange trans daughter
announces she's leaving the United States after Trump's win. Many
celebrities have promised they would leave the country, but so
far none have been followed up on that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It would seem they usually do not. I came across
this article on MSN. I got it right in front
of me. They talk to a bunch of people who
say they're going to leave, and now you're not.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Well, there's that, and it's mostly sad.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's mostly people who have bought the most frantic of
the rhetoric and believe it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Here's this woman.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
She's a Democratic activist from South Carolina, which has got
to be a fairly lonely life. She believes most Americans
are under estimating what was at stake. Quote, He's going
to turn this country into an authoritarian country. She fears
if he comes to power, violence will follow. He will
crack down on the media. Once we lose the media
where the people of the country, they are no one
(12:16):
because they have no knowledge of what's going on. So
she's going to move to Spain.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Bye bye. Donald not worried about that. A couple of
interesting things. So Old Jack Smith is figuring out how
to wind down his cases because we have a long
standing tradition of this country of you can't whatever prosecute
charge a president, so there's no point in going forward.
(12:42):
So those cases are going to go away. And the
Manhattan judge what was his name with the Hispanic lass name,
Yeah who judge and Trump's hushmoney trial considers tossing the
felt in conviction after the election win. I don't quite
understand why that would happened, but those I'll tell you
what I want.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Why don't you just rest easy there, buddy, in your robe,
and let the appeals court explain precisely how horrendous your.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Little trial was. All right, why don't you go ahead
and let that happen. You think he's trying to avoid
the embarrassment of getting the smack down of Oh yes, do.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This, it's gonna be an epic two handed SmackDown too.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Wow' gonna work him like the light bag. Thicke, a
thicke of a thicket, A thicke of a thicket. It's
gonna be glorious to see barbaric. You know, Elon got
involved in the Trump campaign because he wants to pare
down government, get rid of people that aren't needed and
programs that aren't needed. That whole thing could be really
interesting to follow, among other things. On the way, stay here,
(13:46):
who is that that is? And how soon can it stop?
That is Jason Kelsey and Stevie Nicks in a collaboration
for a Christmas album that will be coming out time
for the Holidays and apparently a fundraiser of some sort.
But I got no beef with the Kelsey boys. They
seem like nice guys, but man, I do not need
(14:09):
any more of them at all. Maybe y'all have endless
appetites for the on their hijinks. They signed that like
eighty million dollar podcast deal. I remember there was a
period years ago where I'd say, right, one hundred and
six straight days of having seen lynnon Manuel Morenda on television.
(14:30):
I feel that way about the Kelsey's.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Now, Yeah, well, I'm just happy for people who've been
dying for a Travis Kelcey Stevie Nicks duet which has
broad finally got in their way.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Either way, Oh it's Jason so yeah, you know it's
a retired fat one.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Singing with Stevie was an offensive lineman. All right, too
much judging.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ah boy, So coming up, Elon Musk is gonna be
in charge in theory of some sort of efficiency committee
to try to make government more efficient. Good luck. But
I mean he's as good as anybody I can imagine
to try to take that on some of the details
on the way in a little bit, And I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Stevie Nick's a brilliant musician, songwriter, but she sounds like
a member of the Lollipop Guild at this point. She
sounds like a male little person singing that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Lovely yellow Rick Road, Yellow Rick Road. A little person. Yeah,
I don't anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So I just came across this and I was actually
babbling with with with a shock and wonderment at it.
The headline Chris Pratt, He's an actor criticized for statement
on Trump v. Harris election result. I'm like, okay, I'll
bite so Christ Pratt's US election results statement has explained
his absence from a joint Kamala Harris endorsement shared by
(15:49):
his fellow Marvel actors, The Guardians of the Galaxy Star
and ardent Christian military advocate has often been been described
as right wing, he insists he's on either side of
the spectrum. Bodes. Pratt's open letters led to consternation. Many
are rolling their eyes at the Marvel electors, particularly reserved
take on the outcome of the vote without endorsing Harris
(16:10):
or Trump. Pratt told fans he has quote trying to
make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans
on both sides, urging people to unite as fellow countrymen
regardless of who wins. And he said it's okay to
take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck,
go ahead and cry in the mirror. Well, that has
brought hate and derision down upon him. That strong statement
of trying to say makes sense for people on both sides.
(16:33):
Good lord, it's banal uh. Pratt is trying to make
this seem like this is any other election, like Obama
versus Romney, for instance, but is actually the most critical
election of my lifetime. What we do in this moment
matters very much. Seriously, Chris Pratt has on both sides
view on this election. Blah blah blah. Jeez, Louise so
(16:55):
among these freaking crazy people. Or a few minutes ago,
I was saying, you know, I don't feel like judging
them and kicking them.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I feel like understanding them.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
No, I'm back to judging and kicking these freaking crazy people.
If you go so far as to say I think
both sites need to get together and speak calmly and
try to understand each other, you are roasted as a monster.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
That's what we're dealing with. Yeah, I don't know. I
hope we can move past the hole. You get elevated
for how upset you are. Thing doesn't look good right now,
but that is the current stance. You get elevated. The
more upset you are, the more you fall apart, the
higher you're held in regard. Right.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
If resilience doesn't displace you know, frantic, gesticulating and emotion,
we're doomed as a country.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You won't believe how much the government's grown in the
last couple of years. Oof, stay tuned, arm Strong and
getty well it happened again.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate
need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won
the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Indeed, almost like you rehearsed that.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So many of us wish this hadn't happened, but that
is not for us to decide. This is a democracy,
that's democracy with a capital duh. And in this democracy,
the majority has spoken and they said they don't care
that much about democracy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Interesting, you know, as a guy who prefer conservative policies,
this is good. The other side has shown absolutely no
sign of having understood why they're behind twenty one points
at halftime right, the role that they're playing and getting
Trump elected. Like Mark Alprin said the other day, the
media just does not get that they're making it more
(18:53):
likely Trump gets elected. So Stephen Colbert was the leader
among late night television hosts to break free of the
old mold, which was to be nonpartisan the way it
was when I was a kid. Every late night's show
tried to play it down the middle. They didn't want
to lose the part of their audience it wouldn't agree
(19:13):
with their politics. Stephen Colbert went all in on one side, Well,
how's that worked out for you? I feel like you
could be somewhat self reflective and think, hmm, I think,
even though I'm doing financially well myself, politically, I might
be doing more harm than good. And I would think
all of your entertainment slash news networks and there's a
blurred line there, would would realize we might be doing
(19:37):
more harm than good, might be driving more people into
the other camp with our smug one sided you're a
bunch of idiots view of things. But maybe they won't.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I think you're asking for introspection from people who just
don't have the capacity for it. They certainly don't have
the taste for it. Man, if I lose something, the
first thing I want to know is what could I
have done better? And the other side, to a large extent,
seems to not even accept that that's a possibility. I mean,
(20:11):
the very concept is foreign to him.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Is crazy. Apparently, the meditation app Calm has had a
good couple of weeks, and especially after the election, that's
become the meditation app of choice for people who are
so upset that they can't deal with life. So, if
you're in that camp and you probably aren't use the
calm meditation app. So buddy of mine sent me this
the other day, and I had never seen it this
(20:36):
starkly put. As you know if you listen regularly, I
am a pretty big critic of the way Donald Trump
paneled January sixth, then what happened that day, But this
was sent to me. I'd never seen the BLM riots
versus January sixth chart. Yes, January sixth one day, one riot, awful,
(21:05):
definitely one of the worst days in presidential history. Five
hundred plus BLM riots over an entire summer. So the
January sixth insurrection lasted a couple of hours. BLM riots
lasted seven months, whipped up by Marxists. Yes, January sixth,
zero murders by participants. Some of you would disagree with that,
(21:29):
but depending on how you account people dying from whatever thing.
But BLM riots twenty plus murders by participants. This is
where it gets very clear. January sixth, No small business
is destroyed BLM riots. Hundreds of small businesses destroyed. January
sixth one federal building damaged BLM riots one hundred and
(21:52):
fifty plus federal buildings damaged. How does that fly under
the radar and get no attention. Yeah, the attack on
the CAP building pretty horrible, seeing all those windows smash
and everything like that. How about the one hundred and
fifty plus federal buildings that had the same thing happened
to them during the Black Lives Matter riots?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
One hundred and twelve knights in her own in Portland.
Nothing to see here, January sixth.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
One point five million dollars in damage BLM Summer of
Floyd two billion dollars in damage paid for by the taxpayers.
January six one hundred and forty officers assaulted. Awful BLM
two thousand and thirty seven officers assaulted. Nobody talks about
that at all. I mean at all. I don't I
(22:39):
can remember hearing a word about it right January sixth.
Protesters kept in solitary confinement. BLM riots protesters bailed out
with the help of Kambo Aris accurate January sixth. Encouraged
by fringe political groups and agitators. BLM encouraged by media
(23:00):
and politicians. January sixth, exaggerated by the media. Do I
agree with that or not? I don't know if I
even agree with that. It's pretty hard to exaggerate January sixth.
In my opinion, it's pretty freaking over the top.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
But I think some of the threat to democracy insurrection
stuff is a little overbaked.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
The idea that no matter what happened that day, that
we weren't just going to certify the election, Trump wasn't
going to be president, that's definitely overblown. Trump was not
going to be president. Biden was going to be a president,
whether that lasted a day or a week, yep. But
BLM riots definitely downplayed by the media. I mean, no,
there's no question of that whatsoever. January six used. January
(23:39):
sixth national outrage, BLM riots, national encouragement. No, but to
a large extent, Yeah, those are pretty good. That's pretty good.
And before you leap to the keyboard to write us
an angry email, we are not trying to excuse one
because of the other, because we're not stupid and our
minds don't work like that. Speaking for both of us.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
January sixth awful, BLM riots astonishingly awful, prolonged, deadly damaging,
claiming to be about race, and some people were sincerely
pissed off about very various racial issues. But people who
said openly. Oh yeah, we're about trained. Marxists were trained
in all the theories, and you know that's what we're
(24:20):
up to. But the media wanted to be on the
right side of it, along with America's stupid, stupid corporations.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You could throw in a heap and helping of up
into that moment. My kids weren't allowed to play at
the park because of COVID, but then all of a
sudden that happened and everybody's allowed to do whatever the
hell they wanted. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, quite the era we've come through.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Delightful. We ain't done yet. No, and one more thing
I wanted to jam in here. Oh so we talked
yesterday about that Star County in Texas now went for
the Republicans for the first time since eighteen ninety two
or whatever it was. Trump's success with Hispanic voters is
(25:05):
simply staggering. In twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton won Star County,
Texas by sixty points. Sixty This is a almost entirely
Hispanic county on the border in Texas that went Republican
for the first time since the eighteen hundreds. Hillary wont
it by sixty points. It looks like Trump won it
(25:26):
by about sixteen. That's a seventy six point swing in
America's most Hispanic county in eight years. Racism obviously, just racism,
also impressive. Trump seems to have won Michigan Hispanics by
nineteen points because you know, he's the deportation candidate who
put kids in cages. Obviously Hispanics hated him. Oh and
(25:49):
then the Puerto Rican joke about Puerto Rican Island of trash.
All those areas where you had the most Puerto Rican votes,
Trump won those two. Oh kay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
He carried the vast majority of Puerto Rican votes in Florida,
for instance.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So he won Michigan is Spanics by nineteen tied with
Kamala with Hispanics in North Carolina and Nevada. So we'll
get the rest of the numbers as they come out.
But that's Star County there in Texas, where you the
most Hispanic county in the country, swung almost eighty points.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Toward Trump, right well, Joe Scarborough. Scarborough, reaching for an explanation, said.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, we got to be honest about it. Latino man
are erasist toward black.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
People, which is why that county elected Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You people, you have no arguments, You're insane. I thought
this was interesting. Cal Unicornea. Trump had over forty percent
of the vote and flipped the following counties San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, Fresno, Mersaid, Stanislas,
San jiquin Ino, Nevada, and Butte County all blue and
(26:56):
twenty twenty flipped thread not a single county flip from
red to blue.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
How much of that was Hispanic males? That is the
group that he dominated more than any other group. With
Hispanic males. At some point, mainstream media and the Democratic
Party is going to have to realize that Hispanics are conservatives.
They just are. They're conservatives about the way they want
their families to be raised, about their lifestyle, and it
(27:22):
fits in more through Republican Party than the Democrats. You
can talk about immigration and racial issues and skin color
and all these different things, but the Hispanic families, if
you're ever around any families from Mexico, they're very traditional,
like it's the fifties American families.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Likewise Central America and other places. And I got to
keep my voice down because you know, Hispanic people might hear.
They're so weird when their kids go to school. They
want their kids taught to read and write and do
math and like understand history, and they get all freaked
out when you try to convince their sons that they're
(27:59):
really girls, and try to convince their beautiful young girls
not to have a kin singira but instead to get
their breasts cut off. Those weird Hispanic people with their
odd attitudes.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Where's another weird thing they do. They get married and
have kids and then stay together and love them like
a lot sick. So you're gonna have to deal with
that reality at some point.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Let me squeeze this in and then I'll be able
to close the tab. I just love it so much.
As from the Free Press, the clock is ticking. They
wrote this on election day, but Slate has a buzzer
beat her entry in the contest for the worst article
written about the election. Slate senior writer Scotchy Cole has
delivered a column about JD. Vance's wife, in which she
(28:44):
expresses outrage that Usha Vance's quote allegiances are not to
her race, her gender, and the community she was born into. Instead,
they are to her husband, notes Cole, hear me out,
but I think racial allegiance is bad. Well, allegiance to
your spouse is good. Crazy, I know, but sorry, Scotchy,
I'm afraid you only get silver in the worst article stakes.
(29:07):
The top prize goes to Dave Zerin, who, writing for
the Nation in August, we talked about this, warned Democrats
that they were embracing football too enthusiastically. Sure, you win
elections by distancing yourself from the most watched sport in America.
Everybody knows that, and pretty much the only surviving part
of the monoculture because it is hyper masculine and these
(29:28):
are quotes now, the embrace could repel the young left
wing voters more interested in policy changes than who wins
the football wars. Congratulations Dave on having the worst take
of the election.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That reminds me. I came across this thing about algorithms yesterday.
I want to throw this question out to some of
our really smart audience members, including people who work in
the Silicon Valley world. How do you fix the algorithms
on your various sites? Explain what I mean coming up?
Stay here. There's so many good things I want to
(30:07):
get to here in a question for our tech geniuses
in the audience coming up?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Next Hour just came across a piece of audio from
Election Night, a political analyst lecturing America too good to
pass up. If you don't get Next Hour, you gotta
go somewhere grab it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
In fact, you ought to subscribe so you never miss anything.
So I'm going to run through a bunch of things
just from my notes that I thought were very interesting.
But it did come across this. Is there a way
to reset your algorithm on your YouTube, your Instagram, your
Twitter feed, your whatever you're on that like figures out
the stuff you like and then feeds you more of it.
(30:48):
Somebody said, he is there a button I can pressed
that says the election is over? Where it resets? How
much I think they think I want to know about
politics until the next election cycle starts, as in, yeah,
I've been reading a lot about politics for the last
couple of months. I'm not going to now, so don't
feed me every political story in the world. It's like
when I was trying to find Larry Bird videos on
(31:10):
YouTube for my dad, and then for like a year,
I got fed nothing but Larry Bird videos every day.
Is there a way to reset your algorithms. So if
you know anything about that textas four one five two
nine five KFTC, this is too good. Our friend Tim
(31:30):
Sanderfer retweeted this. This was somebody saying this is why
I trust the experts is met with derision by so
many Americans. Here's a woman who is the editor in
chief of Scientific America. These were her tweets. She's the
editor in chief of Scientific America. I apologize to younger
voters that my gen x is so full of efing fascists,
(31:53):
since she used the word followed by solidary to everybody
whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high school classmates are celebrating
early results because f them to the moon and back.
This is the editor in chief of Scientific America, using
her own name and her own face, knowing that everybody
can see who she is. Every four years, I remember
(32:13):
why I left Indiana where I grew up, and remember
why I respect the people who are trying to make
this country less racist and sexist. So dismissing all of
the Midwest, there you go.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I can't remember if it's the National Reviewer who has
been Is it Scientific American?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I think? But anyway, they've been on how.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Scientific American and one of the other big science publications
have been taken over by a woke company with woke editors.
And now it's like, you know how in colleges, all
the professors are supposed to do all of you teaching
through the lens of intersectionality and social justice and the physics.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Guys are like.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Electrons move in a circle, just like racist.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't know, I don't know how to do this.
It's the same in the public.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
If you popular mechanics, if you're if you're whatever, whatever,
the magazine.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's got to be through the lens of social distance.
Imagine how out there she is if she or how
how out of control that magazine is. If she feels like,
as a boss she can say that stuff out loud
with her name attached. She isn't. Anyway, there's that. I
got this text from a friend. Oh my god, My
sister and her husband are giant liberals and just told
(33:26):
me they both voted for Trump because of the economy. Yeah, yeah,
that was the number one issue in every poll. All right,
so millions of people to that. Doesn't that have to
be sexism or racism or meanness or anything like that
could just be the price of butter really could be.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
In quick question, when kamalo is in your primaries, you
rejected her like she was a rabid raccoon?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Was that racism and sexism? Just curious, just asking don
excellent point. How about this in that very county in
Ohio where the town of Springfield is, where Trump said,
they're eating the cats and the dogs, They're eating the
pets of the people that lived there. His share of
the vote grew by six percent from the last time
(34:05):
he ran, so even more people voted for him this
time around than last time around.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Well, because they weren't dealing with the theoretical issue of
immigration like the media is the media is. They were
dealing with the reality. Whether that included cat ingestion or
not was beside the point. They dealt with the reality
and to the.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Overall landslide spanking that this was almost every county in America,
like ninety eight point nine percent of counties in America
swung to the right. That includes urban, suburban, rural, mountainous
by the ocean, I mean just all of them. Obviously,
(34:44):
everything swung to the right, but just a couple. It's amazing,
and the.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Only group ethnic group that Democrats gained in was white people,
and yet the explanation for the loss was white racism.
You people don't even make any effing sense. I mean,
never mind. Are you're right or you're wrong to your
spouting nonsense, right to protect your own egos or delusions
(35:13):
or something.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Wow, I don't don't try reality. It's actually it's kind
of bracing. You might learn to enjoy it. I don't
know if I'm rooting for them to get it or not.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, probably good for the country if they did, But
I don't.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just I don't see it coming. Yeah, I know
they're too far to reel in. Good luck winning any
elections ever. If you don't grasp reality, fans of smug.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Superiority among lefties, better grab Next Hour.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
One way or the other. You're gonna love this audio
we have for you fantastic. If you missing hour, get
the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. You should subscribe
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Katty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Only
when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
(00:32):
Let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant,
brilliant billion of stars. That's a little over the top
bright billion of stars. I didn't ship over your applause.
I didn't watch her speech. I just I read Donk
Jonathan Turlie, who we like, say he thought it was
(00:54):
gracious and great and what a concession speech should be
and consistent. Concession speeches don't matter at all. And they
just know, no, it was fine. They're for your supporters.
They're for your supporters, so they feel like there's some
sort of I hate the term closure, but like end
to this thing after working and donating and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I would like to make a very brief statement, then
I will shut up. Under disgusted, Joe Biden insisting on
running again was one of the most ridiculous, unpatriotic, selfish
acts of any politician in American history.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Somebody will write the book, and I can't wait to
hear it. I mean, who was involved in that decision.
Jill obviously pushed it. I mean we saw her. She's
the villain. She might be the number one villain in
the entire Joe Biden's story because obviously she's the closest
person to him, has the best idea of how bad
a shape he was in. And yet you answered all
(01:47):
the questions Joe. I mean, she was just gonna ride
that all the way into another term. You were gonna
let the world have that guy be the leader with
all the unrest we have on the planet. You're you're
willing to risk that so you could what keep having
that to the American people? Yeah, keep having the White
House chef access or what I mean. That's just uh,
(02:09):
she is the villain. Yeah, at some point she needs
to be recognized as the villain. He can't play Biden.
I mean you just did. But I don't know how
well his brain worked. How well do how well do
people deep into dimension know they've got dementia? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And she forgot her hippocratic oath, not a real doctor,
the doctor.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's funny. And oh I read a piece from Tim
Carney I think yesterday who we like never donate money
to a presidential campaign, and he was using the chart
on how First of all, they outspent Trump a gazillion
to one in every swing state except Pennsylvania and lost.
But they have plenty of money they have. Donate to
(02:50):
your local races. If there are people you care about
they actually need money, another billboard or ad could help them.
But do not give money to presidential candidates. They got
more what even they know what to do with, which
is generally true. This is our favorite thing of the day.
We love to hate it. This is Jimmy Kimmel on
his show last night, being a complete psycho about his
(03:15):
read of the presidential election. Here we go, Let's be honest.
It was a terrible night last night.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It was a terrible night for women, for children, for
the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make
this country go. For healthcare, for our climate, for science,
for journalism, for.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Justice, for free speech.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was a terrible night for poor people, for the
middle class, for seniors to reliance, social security, for our
allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The truth here you sing, dude.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
See and decency. And it was a terrible night for everyone.
Who voted against him, and guess what, it was a
bad night.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
For everyone who voted for him too.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You just don't realize it yet.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh nice condescending in there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Wow, so stunningly gullible, but follows it up with a
chaser of condescension, a really endearing couple of qualities.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, he believes every.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Single harum scarem threat made by his own side.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Remember we had that couple day conversation of do you
think Trump supporters are garbage or are you just referring
to the one guy with the joke? You know, I
don't know what Biden had in his head, but clearly
the Jimmy Kimmels of the world think all the Trump
supporters are garbage or just too stupid to realize they
voted away their interests.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, well they're such bigots they don't understand that they've
committed suicide.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're insane, dude, You're insane. Well, he's just he's gullible.
I mean, he's breaking down and crying over is a
bad night for children, for women, for working immigrants who
overwhelmingly voted for true Trump. Also, I guess you think
they're stupid or evil against.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Themselves explain the whole old people who depend on social Security.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What in the world are you talking about. I would
like to know, point by point why he thinks it
was so bad for children. I mean, let's let's get
into the specifics. So why you're so emotionally I say,
trans children? Who will be judged?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
No, who will be you know what? Gosh, dang it,
I've been holding on this forever. There has been another
study that shows the vast, fast, vast, vast, vast majority
of so called trans children grow out of it and or,
as one professional put it, I can talk these kids
out of it in five minutes. It's just a crazy
notion that's in their heads and it's easily dealt with anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Back to you, it's such a terrible night for women,
for children, for working immigrants, to make this country go
for free stanch right the press. What are you talking?
I don't even know. I can't even imagine. You're crazy. Yes, Katie,
I would just like to confirm as a woman, I
(06:02):
had a great time on Tuesday there. Well, there we go,
folkswoman for all women right here. Total blast. I had
a total blast. Just I I don't I go back
and forth between Jimmy kimmeloll just mock because he's ultra
(06:24):
uber wealthy and his life is fine, So he's just
worried on behalf of everyone else, I guess. But for
for for regular people who are that upset, I guess
I just mostly feel bad for you that you've been
so misled by your friends or your college professors, or
whatever Twitter feed you're on or something TikTok that has
led you to believe that this is true. What are
(06:45):
you freaking talking about? Yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. God, I'd say,
here's what's most interesting to me. I don't know how
many people remember what it was like after Trump won
in twenty sixteen. For the following hours, days, weeks, and months,
(07:07):
there was a belief by the left and dominant media
played it this way completely that this was just temporary,
there was some sort of mistake made. Russia fixed this.
It's a mistake. He'll be out of office soon, he
won't even be he won't even take the office. We'll
get this fixed before. I mean, that's the way it
was portrayed. Do you not remember that? Do you remember
(07:27):
Obama taking so much heat because Biden's going to invite
Trump to the White House here in like the next week.
Do you remember how much heat Obama took for no, no, no,
don't let him come sit at the White House. That's
acting like this is real, this isn't going to happen
Saturday Night Live, acting like it was going to be
a shock when it turned out he's actually going to
be president, maybe even the whole time. Yeah, So that's
(07:50):
the way it played out in twenty sixteen. This one
is so different, even with the you know, despite Jimmy
Kimmel and the various things I saw on cable news,
there's a full recognition Trump was duly elected by a
majority of Americans and is going to be president of
the United States. That gives him so much better a
start than he had last time around. I mean, it's
(08:11):
apples and oranges, because it was seen as like a
complete you're not buying this, are you? That Trump was elected?
Of course he wasn't Russian something. We're going to figure
this out before January twentieth or very shortly thereafter, and
he will be booted out. Well, none of that. This
time around. It's fully accepted as a win for Donald Trump,
(08:33):
and I think that's going to help his chances of,
you know, actually holding the office and doing anything so
much so the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Last time it was denial that it's real. This time
they've accepted that it's real. Andrew Sullivan, the brilliant conservative
gay writer, just wrote, purely anecdotally, my living dem friends
all united and condemning America for being racist and misogynistic
this morning. I really don't want to learn or even
think outside their box. It's gonna take a while to
(09:04):
program some of them.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, Like I said a friend of mine who a
guy put his arm around her at the office and said, uh,
I don't know how to Are you okay? She was okay,
she wanted Trump to win, But uh, are you okay?
It's racism, is the only explanation, the guy said. Really,
you don't think the economy in the border might have
played a role, even though everybody said in every pole
(09:31):
those were their top.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Issues, okay, including your favorite liberal publications. So if you
really don't know how to reach those people, I don't
know either. I don't know of dance. Maybe logic doesn't work,
so hey.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Maybe this is actually more troubling if and it's always
hard to tell what percentage of people actually believe this
If it's you know, all of Hollywood in that crowd
and then a handful of crazies in California, I don't know.
Do most liberals think it was racism or sexism that
(10:09):
caused Trump to win At the dominant media?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
They do. Hey, here's a cheerier, more patriotic and note
for you. Warrior Foundation Freedom Station is celebrating their twenty
year anniversary. You've heard us talking about this incredible foundation
for years and the countdown is on to their annual
Warrior Foundation Freedom Station givethon, which takes place next Thursday.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Please consider making a donation. I have every year for
years to fly our ill and injured Marine soldiers and
sailors home for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Everyone deserves to spend the holidays with their loved ones,
especially the men and women who so bravely sacrificed for
the US of A. And we've seen it firsthand. Warrior
Foundation Freedom Station continues to make a huge impact on
the lives of our warriors because of your support.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And this year they're building their third transitional housing property
designed to craft a sense of community, promote recovery, and
cultivate independence for our warriors. It's the least we can
do after what they've given us.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Now listen to the name because it's not the other
one that's kind of similar. Warrior Foundation dot org. It's
tax deductible, it's wonderful flying or Warrior's Home.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
For the holidays. It's such a beautiful thing. Warrior Foundation
dot org. Thank you. Elon Musk's a strange trans daughter
announces she's leaving the United States after Trump's win. Many
celebrities have promised they would leave the country, but so
far none have been followed up on that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It would seem they usually do not. I came across
this article on MSN. I got it right in front
of me. They talk to a bunch of people who
say they're going to leave, and now you're not.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Well, there's that, and it's mostly sad.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's mostly people who have bought the most frantic of
the rhetoric and believe it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Here's this woman.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
She's a Democratic activist from South Carolina, which has got
to be a fairly lonely life. She believes most Americans
are under estimating what was at stake. Quote, He's going
to turn this country into an authoritarian country. She fears
if he comes to power, violence will follow. He will
crack down on the media. Once we lose the media
where the people of the country, they are no one
(12:16):
because they have no knowledge of what's going on. So
she's going to move to Spain.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Bye bye. Donald not worried about that. A couple of
interesting things. So Old Jack Smith is figuring out how
to wind down his cases because we have a long
standing tradition of this country of you can't whatever prosecute
charge a president, so there's no point in going forward.
(12:42):
So those cases are going to go away. And the
Manhattan judge what was his name with the Hispanic lass name,
Yeah who judge and Trump's hushmoney trial considers tossing the
felt in conviction after the election win. I don't quite
understand why that would happened, but those I'll tell you
what I want.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Why don't you just rest easy there, buddy, in your robe,
and let the appeals court explain precisely how horrendous your.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Little trial was. All right, why don't you go ahead
and let that happen. You think he's trying to avoid
the embarrassment of getting the smack down of Oh yes, do.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This, it's gonna be an epic two handed SmackDown too.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Wow' gonna work him like the light bag. Thicke, a
thicke of a thicket, A thicke of a thicket. It's
gonna be glorious to see barbaric. You know, Elon got
involved in the Trump campaign because he wants to pare
down government, get rid of people that aren't needed and
programs that aren't needed. That whole thing could be really
interesting to follow, among other things. On the way, stay here,
(13:46):
who is that that is? And how soon can it stop?
That is Jason Kelsey and Stevie Nicks in a collaboration
for a Christmas album that will be coming out time
for the Holidays and apparently a fundraiser of some sort.
But I got no beef with the Kelsey boys. They
seem like nice guys, but man, I do not need
(14:09):
any more of them at all. Maybe y'all have endless
appetites for the on their hijinks. They signed that like
eighty million dollar podcast deal. I remember there was a
period years ago where I'd say, right, one hundred and
six straight days of having seen lynnon Manuel Morenda on television.
(14:30):
I feel that way about the Kelsey's.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Now, Yeah, well, I'm just happy for people who've been
dying for a Travis Kelcey Stevie Nicks duet which has
broad finally got in their way.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Either way, Oh it's Jason so yeah, you know it's
a retired fat one.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Singing with Stevie was an offensive lineman. All right, too
much judging.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ah boy, So coming up, Elon Musk is gonna be
in charge in theory of some sort of efficiency committee
to try to make government more efficient. Good luck. But
I mean he's as good as anybody I can imagine
to try to take that on some of the details
on the way in a little bit, And I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Stevie Nick's a brilliant musician, songwriter, but she sounds like
a member of the Lollipop Guild at this point. She
sounds like a male little person singing that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Lovely yellow Rick Road, Yellow Rick Road. A little person. Yeah,
I don't anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So I just came across this and I was actually
babbling with with with a shock and wonderment at it.
The headline Chris Pratt, He's an actor criticized for statement
on Trump v. Harris election result. I'm like, okay, I'll
bite so Christ Pratt's US election results statement has explained
his absence from a joint Kamala Harris endorsement shared by
(15:49):
his fellow Marvel actors, The Guardians of the Galaxy Star
and ardent Christian military advocate has often been been described
as right wing, he insists he's on either side of
the spectrum. Bodes. Pratt's open letters led to consternation. Many
are rolling their eyes at the Marvel electors, particularly reserved
take on the outcome of the vote without endorsing Harris
(16:10):
or Trump. Pratt told fans he has quote trying to
make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans
on both sides, urging people to unite as fellow countrymen
regardless of who wins. And he said it's okay to
take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck,
go ahead and cry in the mirror. Well, that has
brought hate and derision down upon him. That strong statement
of trying to say makes sense for people on both sides.
(16:33):
Good lord, it's banal uh. Pratt is trying to make
this seem like this is any other election, like Obama
versus Romney, for instance, but is actually the most critical
election of my lifetime. What we do in this moment
matters very much. Seriously, Chris Pratt has on both sides
view on this election. Blah blah blah. Jeez, Louise so
(16:55):
among these freaking crazy people. Or a few minutes ago,
I was saying, you know, I don't feel like judging
them and kicking them.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I feel like understanding them.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
No, I'm back to judging and kicking these freaking crazy people.
If you go so far as to say I think
both sites need to get together and speak calmly and
try to understand each other, you are roasted as a monster.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
That's what we're dealing with. Yeah, I don't know. I
hope we can move past the hole. You get elevated
for how upset you are. Thing doesn't look good right now,
but that is the current stance. You get elevated. The
more upset you are, the more you fall apart, the
higher you're held in regard. Right.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
If resilience doesn't displace you know, frantic, gesticulating and emotion,
we're doomed as a country.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You won't believe how much the government's grown in the
last couple of years. Oof, stay tuned, arm Strong and
getty well it happened again.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate
need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won
the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Indeed, almost like you rehearsed that.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So many of us wish this hadn't happened, but that
is not for us to decide. This is a democracy,
that's democracy with a capital duh. And in this democracy,
the majority has spoken and they said they don't care
that much about democracy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Interesting, you know, as a guy who prefer conservative policies,
this is good. The other side has shown absolutely no
sign of having understood why they're behind twenty one points
at halftime right, the role that they're playing and getting
Trump elected. Like Mark Alprin said the other day, the
media just does not get that they're making it more
(18:53):
likely Trump gets elected. So Stephen Colbert was the leader
among late night television hosts to break free of the
old mold, which was to be nonpartisan the way it
was when I was a kid. Every late night's show
tried to play it down the middle. They didn't want
to lose the part of their audience it wouldn't agree
(19:13):
with their politics. Stephen Colbert went all in on one side, Well,
how's that worked out for you? I feel like you
could be somewhat self reflective and think, hmm, I think,
even though I'm doing financially well myself, politically, I might
be doing more harm than good. And I would think
all of your entertainment slash news networks and there's a
blurred line there, would would realize we might be doing
(19:37):
more harm than good, might be driving more people into
the other camp with our smug one sided you're a
bunch of idiots view of things. But maybe they won't.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I think you're asking for introspection from people who just
don't have the capacity for it. They certainly don't have
the taste for it. Man, if I lose something, the
first thing I want to know is what could I
have done better? And the other side, to a large extent,
seems to not even accept that that's a possibility. I mean,
(20:11):
the very concept is foreign to him.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Is crazy. Apparently, the meditation app Calm has had a
good couple of weeks, and especially after the election, that's
become the meditation app of choice for people who are
so upset that they can't deal with life. So, if
you're in that camp and you probably aren't use the
calm meditation app. So buddy of mine sent me this
the other day, and I had never seen it this
(20:36):
starkly put. As you know if you listen regularly, I
am a pretty big critic of the way Donald Trump
paneled January sixth, then what happened that day, But this
was sent to me. I'd never seen the BLM riots
versus January sixth chart. Yes, January sixth one day, one riot, awful,
(21:05):
definitely one of the worst days in presidential history. Five
hundred plus BLM riots over an entire summer. So the
January sixth insurrection lasted a couple of hours. BLM riots
lasted seven months, whipped up by Marxists. Yes, January sixth,
zero murders by participants. Some of you would disagree with that,
(21:29):
but depending on how you account people dying from whatever thing.
But BLM riots twenty plus murders by participants. This is
where it gets very clear. January sixth, No small business
is destroyed BLM riots. Hundreds of small businesses destroyed. January
sixth one federal building damaged BLM riots one hundred and
(21:52):
fifty plus federal buildings damaged. How does that fly under
the radar and get no attention. Yeah, the attack on
the CAP building pretty horrible, seeing all those windows smash
and everything like that. How about the one hundred and
fifty plus federal buildings that had the same thing happened
to them during the Black Lives Matter riots?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
One hundred and twelve knights in her own in Portland.
Nothing to see here, January sixth.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
One point five million dollars in damage BLM Summer of
Floyd two billion dollars in damage paid for by the taxpayers.
January six one hundred and forty officers assaulted. Awful BLM
two thousand and thirty seven officers assaulted. Nobody talks about
that at all. I mean at all. I don't I
(22:39):
can remember hearing a word about it right January sixth.
Protesters kept in solitary confinement. BLM riots protesters bailed out
with the help of Kambo Aris accurate January sixth. Encouraged
by fringe political groups and agitators. BLM encouraged by media
(23:00):
and politicians. January sixth, exaggerated by the media. Do I
agree with that or not? I don't know if I
even agree with that. It's pretty hard to exaggerate January sixth.
In my opinion, it's pretty freaking over the top.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
But I think some of the threat to democracy insurrection
stuff is a little overbaked.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
The idea that no matter what happened that day, that
we weren't just going to certify the election, Trump wasn't
going to be president, that's definitely overblown. Trump was not
going to be president. Biden was going to be a president,
whether that lasted a day or a week, yep. But
BLM riots definitely downplayed by the media. I mean, no,
there's no question of that whatsoever. January six used. January
(23:39):
sixth national outrage, BLM riots, national encouragement. No, but to
a large extent, Yeah, those are pretty good. That's pretty good.
And before you leap to the keyboard to write us
an angry email, we are not trying to excuse one
because of the other, because we're not stupid and our
minds don't work like that. Speaking for both of us.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
January sixth awful, BLM riots astonishingly awful, prolonged, deadly damaging,
claiming to be about race, and some people were sincerely
pissed off about very various racial issues. But people who
said openly. Oh yeah, we're about trained. Marxists were trained
in all the theories, and you know that's what we're
(24:20):
up to. But the media wanted to be on the
right side of it, along with America's stupid, stupid corporations.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You could throw in a heap and helping of up
into that moment. My kids weren't allowed to play at
the park because of COVID, but then all of a
sudden that happened and everybody's allowed to do whatever the
hell they wanted. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, quite the era we've come through.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Delightful. We ain't done yet. No, and one more thing
I wanted to jam in here. Oh so we talked
yesterday about that Star County in Texas now went for
the Republicans for the first time since eighteen ninety two
or whatever it was. Trump's success with Hispanic voters is
(25:05):
simply staggering. In twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton won Star County,
Texas by sixty points. Sixty This is a almost entirely
Hispanic county on the border in Texas that went Republican
for the first time since the eighteen hundreds. Hillary wont
it by sixty points. It looks like Trump won it
(25:26):
by about sixteen. That's a seventy six point swing in
America's most Hispanic county in eight years. Racism obviously, just racism,
also impressive. Trump seems to have won Michigan Hispanics by
nineteen points because you know, he's the deportation candidate who
put kids in cages. Obviously Hispanics hated him. Oh and
(25:49):
then the Puerto Rican joke about Puerto Rican Island of trash.
All those areas where you had the most Puerto Rican votes,
Trump won those two. Oh kay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
He carried the vast majority of Puerto Rican votes in Florida,
for instance.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So he won Michigan is Spanics by nineteen tied with
Kamala with Hispanics in North Carolina and Nevada. So we'll
get the rest of the numbers as they come out.
But that's Star County there in Texas, where you the
most Hispanic county in the country, swung almost eighty points.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Toward Trump, right well, Joe Scarborough. Scarborough, reaching for an explanation, said.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, we got to be honest about it. Latino man
are erasist toward black.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
People, which is why that county elected Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You people, you have no arguments, You're insane. I thought
this was interesting. Cal Unicornea. Trump had over forty percent
of the vote and flipped the following counties San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, Fresno, Mersaid, Stanislas,
San jiquin Ino, Nevada, and Butte County all blue and
(26:56):
twenty twenty flipped thread not a single county flip from
red to blue.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
How much of that was Hispanic males? That is the
group that he dominated more than any other group. With
Hispanic males. At some point, mainstream media and the Democratic
Party is going to have to realize that Hispanics are conservatives.
They just are. They're conservatives about the way they want
their families to be raised, about their lifestyle, and it
(27:22):
fits in more through Republican Party than the Democrats. You
can talk about immigration and racial issues and skin color
and all these different things, but the Hispanic families, if
you're ever around any families from Mexico, they're very traditional,
like it's the fifties American families.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Likewise Central America and other places. And I got to
keep my voice down because you know, Hispanic people might hear.
They're so weird when their kids go to school. They
want their kids taught to read and write and do
math and like understand history, and they get all freaked
out when you try to convince their sons that they're
(27:59):
really girls, and try to convince their beautiful young girls
not to have a kin singira but instead to get
their breasts cut off. Those weird Hispanic people with their
odd attitudes.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Where's another weird thing they do. They get married and
have kids and then stay together and love them like
a lot sick. So you're gonna have to deal with
that reality at some point.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Let me squeeze this in and then I'll be able
to close the tab. I just love it so much.
As from the Free Press, the clock is ticking. They
wrote this on election day, but Slate has a buzzer
beat her entry in the contest for the worst article
written about the election. Slate senior writer Scotchy Cole has
delivered a column about JD. Vance's wife, in which she
(28:44):
expresses outrage that Usha Vance's quote allegiances are not to
her race, her gender, and the community she was born into. Instead,
they are to her husband, notes Cole, hear me out,
but I think racial allegiance is bad. Well, allegiance to
your spouse is good. Crazy, I know, but sorry, Scotchy,
I'm afraid you only get silver in the worst article stakes.
(29:07):
The top prize goes to Dave Zerin, who, writing for
the Nation in August, we talked about this, warned Democrats
that they were embracing football too enthusiastically. Sure, you win
elections by distancing yourself from the most watched sport in America.
Everybody knows that, and pretty much the only surviving part
of the monoculture because it is hyper masculine and these
(29:28):
are quotes now, the embrace could repel the young left
wing voters more interested in policy changes than who wins
the football wars. Congratulations Dave on having the worst take
of the election.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That reminds me. I came across this thing about algorithms yesterday.
I want to throw this question out to some of
our really smart audience members, including people who work in
the Silicon Valley world. How do you fix the algorithms
on your various sites? Explain what I mean coming up?
Stay here. There's so many good things I want to
(30:07):
get to here in a question for our tech geniuses
in the audience coming up?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Next Hour just came across a piece of audio from
Election Night, a political analyst lecturing America too good to
pass up. If you don't get Next Hour, you gotta
go somewhere grab it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
In fact, you ought to subscribe so you never miss anything.
So I'm going to run through a bunch of things
just from my notes that I thought were very interesting.
But it did come across this. Is there a way
to reset your algorithm on your YouTube, your Instagram, your
Twitter feed, your whatever you're on that like figures out
the stuff you like and then feeds you more of it.
(30:48):
Somebody said, he is there a button I can pressed
that says the election is over? Where it resets? How
much I think they think I want to know about
politics until the next election cycle starts, as in, yeah,
I've been reading a lot about politics for the last
couple of months. I'm not going to now, so don't
feed me every political story in the world. It's like
when I was trying to find Larry Bird videos on
(31:10):
YouTube for my dad, and then for like a year,
I got fed nothing but Larry Bird videos every day.
Is there a way to reset your algorithms. So if
you know anything about that textas four one five two
nine five KFTC, this is too good. Our friend Tim
(31:30):
Sanderfer retweeted this. This was somebody saying this is why
I trust the experts is met with derision by so
many Americans. Here's a woman who is the editor in
chief of Scientific America. These were her tweets. She's the
editor in chief of Scientific America. I apologize to younger
voters that my gen x is so full of efing fascists,
(31:53):
since she used the word followed by solidary to everybody
whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high school classmates are celebrating
early results because f them to the moon and back.
This is the editor in chief of Scientific America, using
her own name and her own face, knowing that everybody
can see who she is. Every four years, I remember
(32:13):
why I left Indiana where I grew up, and remember
why I respect the people who are trying to make
this country less racist and sexist. So dismissing all of
the Midwest, there you go.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I can't remember if it's the National Reviewer who has
been Is it Scientific American?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I think? But anyway, they've been on how.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Scientific American and one of the other big science publications
have been taken over by a woke company with woke editors.
And now it's like, you know how in colleges, all
the professors are supposed to do all of you teaching
through the lens of intersectionality and social justice and the physics.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Guys are like.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Electrons move in a circle, just like racist.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't know, I don't know how to do this.
It's the same in the public.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
If you popular mechanics, if you're if you're whatever, whatever,
the magazine.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's got to be through the lens of social distance.
Imagine how out there she is if she or how
how out of control that magazine is. If she feels like,
as a boss she can say that stuff out loud
with her name attached. She isn't. Anyway, there's that. I
got this text from a friend. Oh my god, My
sister and her husband are giant liberals and just told
(33:26):
me they both voted for Trump because of the economy. Yeah, yeah,
that was the number one issue in every poll. All right,
so millions of people to that. Doesn't that have to
be sexism or racism or meanness or anything like that
could just be the price of butter really could be.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
In quick question, when kamalo is in your primaries, you
rejected her like she was a rabid raccoon?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Was that racism and sexism? Just curious, just asking don
excellent point. How about this in that very county in
Ohio where the town of Springfield is, where Trump said,
they're eating the cats and the dogs, They're eating the
pets of the people that lived there. His share of
the vote grew by six percent from the last time
(34:05):
he ran, so even more people voted for him this
time around than last time around.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Well, because they weren't dealing with the theoretical issue of
immigration like the media is the media is. They were
dealing with the reality. Whether that included cat ingestion or
not was beside the point. They dealt with the reality
and to the.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Overall landslide spanking that this was almost every county in America,
like ninety eight point nine percent of counties in America
swung to the right. That includes urban, suburban, rural, mountainous
by the ocean, I mean just all of them. Obviously,
(34:44):
everything swung to the right, but just a couple. It's amazing,
and the.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Only group ethnic group that Democrats gained in was white people,
and yet the explanation for the loss was white racism.
You people don't even make any effing sense. I mean,
never mind. Are you're right or you're wrong to your
spouting nonsense, right to protect your own egos or delusions
(35:13):
or something.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Wow, I don't don't try reality. It's actually it's kind
of bracing. You might learn to enjoy it. I don't
know if I'm rooting for them to get it or not.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, probably good for the country if they did, But
I don't.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just I don't see it coming. Yeah, I know
they're too far to reel in. Good luck winning any
elections ever. If you don't grasp reality, fans of smug.
