Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty arm Strong
and he is Armstrong and Natty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nobody's in charge. Joe Biden is asleep. Kamala, Is it
a dance party with Beyonce? Kamala? Is it a dance party.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
With Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Say he is.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Dance party with BEYONCEY dance party with BEYONCEY, dance party
with BEYONCEY dance party with beyoncey beyoncey beyoncey beyoncey Beyonce,
party with Beyonce, Beyonce.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
People are doing TikTok dances to that today. So this
is today's crazy. It'll be over by noon East. Yeah,
you're this hour gone, this hour. But there's something musical.
But the way Trump talks a lot, and I think
it lends itself to these sorts of things pretty well.
They're killing the dogs, they're killing the cats, they're eating
your pets.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
That allows you know, it's good for this sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, at a dance party with Beyonce, with Beyonce's that's
so beautiful Meanwhile, Kamala was actually on the lips delivering
her final argument, which sounded a little like.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
This, Donald Trump intends to use the United States military
against American citizens who simply disagree with him. People he calls, quote,
the enemy from within.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I'm going to bring people together. He's going to
put you in concentration camps. That is the final argument. Okay,
all right. We talked yesterday about the freak out over
the Washington Post's non endorsement of a presidential candidate, a
number of their writers and editors wedding their pants and
screeching breaking news.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm looking. I'm looking at ABC News right now, said,
better be good.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I don't know what they're doing, but I'm seeing the
comedian from the Madison Square Garden rally.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
They're playing the clip again in his Wednesday Sunday Monday Tuesday,
wednesdayday four.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Of the four story day of major network coverage over
the Puerto Rico garbage comment bombing comedian makes stupid joke
four hours before Trump hits stage.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
How is it?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
How is that even possible? Desperation and above it, CNN.
Latino voters in swing states angry about joke, CNN. Well,
you know what, given the the might of the media
and its uniform reporting of these stories, all from the
perspective to the left, all telling Hispanic America that, oh yeah,
(03:04):
this guy at the Trump rally said Puerto Ricans are garbage.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, and probably ought to be murdered. That's what he said,
more or less.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
So if this is the most consequential election of my lifetime,
as I'm being told, that's the issue five days out,
six days out from the election, Yeah, comedians joke about
Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, wow, wow, wow, wow? Is right? Monarchy now, democracy
doesn't work. It is the most election of our lifetimes. Yeah,
I'd forgotten that.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So back to the WAPO freak out and Jeff Bezos
deciding they aren't They're going to go back to the
roots and not endorse presidential candidates because they are losing
seventy seven million dollars a year. Because everybody thinks that
the WAPO and other mainstream media is wildly biased, and indeed,
their approval ratings are below that of Congress, which is
below that of you know, vomiting and headaches. So anyway,
(04:02):
that's the that's the subtext, the setup for this.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh I thought it was interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Somebody directed me to the comments on the Jeff Bezos
editorial explaining why the WAPPO would would follow that policy henceforth,
and every single one of them was an ad hominem
attack or at the best, this is the best one
I found.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Uh, Jeff, I edited your statement.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Now more than ever, the world needs a credible, trusted,
independent voice, and we're better for that voice to originate
than the capital city, the most important country in the world.
Many of the finest journalists you'll find anywhere work at
the Washington Post, and they work painstakingly every day to
get to the truth. So while that, unlike virtually every
other comment in the first thirty or so, wasn't a
you're a stupid, a hole and billionaire suck and you
(04:53):
should shut up, which is most of the comments, that
was just simply denying his case or pretending it doesn't exist.
The numbers now, two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers have
canceled their Washington Both subscription. That's ten percent of their
total subscriber number, right, And I'll bet Bezos is surprised
(05:14):
by that, but not completely surprised, because his whole point is, look,
we've put all of our eggs in one ideological basket,
and we've given away all of our credibility. It is
not that shocking that the current customer base is what
I just described, right, there are people want nothing but
left wing news. So no, I'll bet he's not shocked
(05:37):
by the outrage, but maybe by the gravity of it,
the size of it. Anyway, that's kind of a lead
up to this which I found very interesting from Fred Bauer,
who writes for National Review, among others, And this is
he is a very serious guy, and this is not
some sort of you know, crazy Pizzagate QAnon stuff. This
is this is who people are actually paying attention to
(06:00):
inside the Beltway and in the intelligencia.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Of progressive New York.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It's these two Harvard professors, Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblot
of How Democracies Die Fame if you're familiar with that book.
But they have been advocating this complete civil society resistance
to Trump if he returns to the White House. It
reminds me of you know, the fabulous Well it doesn't
(06:25):
matter Michael Pillsbury's book One hundred Year Marathon, But China
has a whole of society program to resist, to oppose
the United States. From bankers to media, to the military,
to shopkeepers, to investment investors, to students in the United States,
to Chinese home town leagues in the United States. Every man,
(06:46):
jack of them needs to be against the United States. Well,
Levitsky and zablat have have and if you wonder about
their influence, when Chuck Schumer was trying to blow up
the filibuster, he had these two addressed the Senate Democratic
Caucus explaining why you had to blow up the filibuster
to save democracy. But so anyway, these guys are calling,
(07:09):
in writing and in meetings for a societal mobilization in
which quote, influential groups and societal leaders, chief executives, religious leaders,
labor users, leaders, prominent retired public officials must speak out
social mobilization. Societal mobilization means a coordinated effort by business, religion,
elite academics, and others to oppose the elected government when
(07:32):
it crosses some red line. Power actually asks whether it
pledges some democratic politicians to try to pack the court.
What itself passing be passing over a red line is
unaddressed in this essay. But anyway, so this idea of
unified resistance is sacred among the New York Times, Chuck
(07:55):
Schumer AOC crowd, and the Washington Post screwed it up
or Jeff Bezos screwed it up. That's why everybody's freaking
out so much, is because they're all in on this plan.
They're all down with this idea, and they've got to
have the wappo in on it, right.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I heard.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I listened to a long podcast with Schultzberger, the guy
that's the head dude at the New York Times. It
was interesting to me to find out these these are
really big organizations, and you know, being the publisher or
the owner or whatever, you don't have near as much
like fingertip control of what's going on as I like
(08:39):
have always imagined. I mean, the Schultzberg ad the New
York Times was talking in the podcast about how he
regularly like gets up in the morning and reads The
New York Times to think, oh my god, I can't
believe we printed that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
It's not like he's controlling on a day by day
basis what's on the front page.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You have to delegate authority to various people, So I
would think to turn things around, Bezos is going to
have to get rid of a bunch of a bunch
of people in important positions. I would think, well, right,
And your New York Times example is a good one
and kind of instructive in that even if the owner
or even the publisher decided we're way too biased, I'm
(09:19):
going to replace some people. You almost have to overdo
it to neutralize it. I mean, it's like meeting a
force with the force. You've got to meet it with
enough force to slow its momentum. And in the case
of a WAPPO or New York Times, the momentum towards
the left is enormous. So yeah, you would have to
(09:41):
just do an enormous purge I think to even render
it neutral. Well, it's probably the wrong time of any
four year period to be having these conversations, because things
are the craziest they ever get in terms of media
coverage right now, days before a presidential election. Got an
example of a coming up brit Hume's criticism of the
(10:02):
media coverage of the whole garbage comment from Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If you haven't heard that, we'll play it for you
right after this.

on the topic of institutional media bias. So I've got
all these TVs in front of me, CNN, ABC, NBC,
(11:15):
so lots of coverage of the Puerto Rican joke from
four days ago. Only on Fox is have I seen
anything about the Biden garbage remark, although Kamala Harris has
just been asked about it live on the tarmac, Hanson,
get that for us. But if you haven't heard Biden's
comment from last night, it's this or.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
floating down there is his supporters. His his demonizational scene
is I'm consciable.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
The only garbage I see out there is his supporters,
and that's the president.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So that's not a surrogate.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Four hours before Trump speaks, who comes out and says,
I don't know the guy, and I just allow it's
got that's the president. So they tried to clean it up.
But brit Hume wrote on Fox this morning or in
his Twitter, it's one thing for media outlets to dismiss
Biden's calling Trump supporter's garbage as an idiotic remark by
a senile old man long prone to gaffs, but to
(12:17):
pretend he didn't see it, didn't say it, or to
ignore it completely as another matter, entirely an example of
media corrupted by politics.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Absolutely, you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Tell me if Trump hadn't called half the country garbage
last night, that wouldn't be the only story in politics today.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Give me a break. I mean, try harder.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I hate it when people text us that, but you know,
be better, try harder. It's easy to see once you
become aware of it what I was talking about before,
and certainly in twenty sixteen. My god, it included the
FBI and fifty current and former intelligence officials and whatever.
(13:04):
The intelligency crowd is absolutely bought into the notion if
we all have to oppose Trump every minute of every day,
no matter what, in spite of the fact that fifty
percent of the population or so we'll find out next week,
think no, we'd prefer him to the Democrats, thank you
very much. We know something about the people that set
(13:26):
those ballots on fire at the dropboxes in Oregon and Washington.
I'll give you a guess what kind of people they
might be Stay tuned for that.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
In other news, Donald's recently announced that it's quarter pounder
is back on the menu after health officials ruled out
beef as the source of any collide routbreak. They've also
managed to rule out chicken as the source of McNuggets.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
To McDonald's joke, I haven't been following this that closely.
Have they identified where the problem came from? Or is
it still a mystery or they haven't figured out I
can't answer it with authority. I thought a couple of
days ago they'd nailed it down to one supplier of onions, Katie,
do you know? Yeah, they had nailed it down to
Taylor Farms. Okay, does Taylor Farms know how it happened?
(14:12):
I was just wondering because I thought, Wow, could this
be China ran somebody just trying to figure out, you know,
a little dry run, a messing with our food supply?
So you don't think of amputaging. Are sacred burgers exactly?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Oh no? Or you know what happens? Could just be
that too. This news came out yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Because the election's going on, you don't hear anything other
than what Trump or Kamala Harris says, but US airlines
are now required to automatically refund you for a canceled flight,
which should have been the case all along, as opposed to, oh,
you give me two drink tickets and I get credit
for the next flight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, we had a deal. I'm supposed to fly from
here to there. You canceled my flight.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They have to give you your money back immediately now, which
is completely fair. I think I go to the butcher
shop and say I need a leg of lamb tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I go tomorrow and they say, no lamb. Sorry, I
get my money back. No, no, you get a store credit.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No give me them my money back. No store credit.
You have to and you have to use us again.
You're not even allowed to go to a different butcher.
That's on many that big bone behind the counter. Just
for a second. I need to borrow it. Whether the
government should be involved with that or it should be
free market, it's kind of difficult. But then you got
you know, you only have so many airlines and the
barrier of entry for it to become an airline and
all that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'm not smart enough to figure that out. The bullet
ballot box arson attacks. So in Oregon and Washington some
of your drop boxes for ballots, which I don't I
wish it didn't exist. I don't like the whole thing
at all, but they do exist lots of places.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A couple of them got set on fire.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Authorities say the words free Palestine and free Gaza were
written on the incendiary devices used to them on fire.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Boy, there's a shock.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
As I said yesterday with complete confidence, you got conservative
suburbs of Portland where ballots are set ablaze. Who sets
things on fire in the Portland area? Let me think, Gee,
I can't come up with anybody leftist, the Antifa types
that the radical fevered young left goodness sakes. So I
(16:24):
mentioned this earlier. Is anybody watching the TV show Tracker?
It's like an actual twenty five years in Levenworth for
burning ballots And I'm not joking. I'm fine with it.
Back to you, Is anybody watching the TV show Tracker?
It's a it's an actual network show. I think I
think we became aware of it watching NFL football in
their advertising tracker endlessly on CBS. My thirteen year old
I started watching it. Let me read the description to
(16:46):
you Are you ready for this? Yes, lone Wolf Survive.
That's a good start, right there, isn't it. The first
two words is a good description of the show Lone
Wolf lone Wolf's survivalist. Third word also good long start.
Longe wolf survivalist. Culter Shaw roams the country, is a
reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private
(17:07):
citizens and law enforcement solve all manners of mysteries while
contending with his own fractured family.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh, it's basically the lone ranger.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And I was thinking, I'll bet this is an archetype
that goes back thousands of years in terms of stories
like the person who roams for village to village, helping
people out and you don't really know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Much about him, and then they disappear again. It's got
to be one of those, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Anyway, He's incredibly handsome and charismatic. I'm sure women are
digging him like crazy. But I hadn't watched network television
in such a long time. My thirteen year old is
loving it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Man. For me, it's eye rollingly trite. I mean, it's just,
oh my god, I can't believe this is happening. When
you're used to netflicks and that sort of stuff. Sure
that that speaks though, to kind of the primal human
human need for certain kinds of stories, and you've got
to keep it simple for young people and simpletons.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Which I'm sure it's what they're aiming at. I guess
it's a pretty good show. It's well done if.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You like that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Jeff coming up, my favorite Biden appointment. He appointed a hero.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Seriously, stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
I tried to England mistakenly showed pornography for a few
seconds during a sing along for grade school kids. Right
there on the spot. Some of the tenors became baritones.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How does that have? Not a good joke? Now? How
does that happen? I don't know the porn. Don't show
porn to children. It's like hackers. Usually they can't get
into a live stream. Yeah, they get into zoom calls
for that sort of stuff, and then they drop a
(18:48):
little porn in. I guess you find it funny.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Come on, I guess for a dull business meeting, I'm
fine with that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Don't deal with children. I am highly amused by it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
For like a tele conference for some corporate thing, it's
funny and it just is.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Not children.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Oh good lord, can we please stop sexualizing children? Anyway?
I said to Jack, Hey, I've got a bunch of
non political stuff we can do here. If you're into politics,
stay with us. The race is pretty much tied. Nobody
knows who's going to turn out. You're probably garbage. Trump's
gonna put you into prison camp.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Anyway. It's a pretty summary will Gobba black garbage.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Yes, so, but I realized this is almost semi political,
this story, but I still like it. America has a
newish archivist. This gal was put into the gig just
before the whole Trump mar a lago thing. She wasn't
in charge of it. She just got the job right
(19:48):
as that was happening. But her name is Colleen Shogan
or Chagan. Anyway, she's now very controversial. Pointy now, remember
because the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates a
popular museum on the National Mall and is getting together
(20:12):
a brand new America's history through the Archives presentation. Her
philosophy is, this is a great country, and we're going
to highlight the good stuff in the recent decade or so.
It's all about how mean we aren't Indians. How mean
we were to Japanese during World War Two? How mean
we were to black people.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean, this is an awful, evil, racist country. And
she says, no, I'm not having it. That's not why
people come here.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And she's getting enormous pushback from her staff, but I oh,
get them.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Our radio studio, by the way, is built on the
land that once belonged to the Rappa Hoose and they
would have two brave warriors get up every morning and
describe the news of.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
The day and a seven inch of it with some
nice native humor.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Anyway, it's I think it's it's terrific. Now, if you
are doing a serious study of the history of America
in the nineteenth century, for instance, and you want to
talk about treaties with Indians and broken treaties and whatever,
that's absolutely legitimate, one hundred percent legitimate. It's rough. It's
the history in the world. But it's rough, well, of course,
(21:23):
yeah yeah. But if you are going to the National
Archives to to take in the history of the country, right, no,
it's it's jeez, Louise the whole And this is so childlike,
it's so knee jerk that self loathing is absolutely necessary
(21:44):
to be a progressive and good standing I mean, no
matter what the actual balance of historical good and evil
and mistakes and triumphs and all not the only It's
like JT's email we featured like an hour ago. You
cannot be positive or optimistic in progressive circles. You must
be angry and self loathing. You don't get a choice. Well,
(22:06):
it's all about what you emphasize. Obviously, all the stuff
can be true history, but why emphasize that. I don't
exactly understand what the point of it is. Well, you
grew up going to schools that employed Howard Zinn's awful
America hating view of history. Anyway, it happened under our watch, friends.
Totally different topic. American Airlines is now busting people who
(22:32):
cut the boarding line try to board before their group
boarding group two. Then you got some group three a
hole joint. Right, Oh life right, Life's come. So passengers
in boarding group one were filing onto American Airlines flight
to Dallas when an I'm gonna sound went off at
(22:52):
gate B eleven.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Dip dip, dip, doop.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Decade agent delivered the bad news the passenger, you're a summary.
You're in group five four, Can you please wait for
your group? It went off again minutes later. It looked
like the last gasp sound of AirPods running out of
juice or some sad.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Game over music for an old video game.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
That's how they describe this sound. You know, this is
the modern internet, exactly, O, this is the internet. They
ought to have a link to the actual sound. You'll
be boarding with group five, sir, the agent said. Five
more passengers were turned back before group.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Two was called. Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I always follow the rules because it doesn't matter that
much to me. But I'll bet there are lots of
people been doing that their whole lives.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No no, no, no, yeah life hack board with the board.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
With group one. They never stop you. Yeah, Now that
makes you was jerk. You realize we all know we
could do that. We've known people like that. Our old
producer Dominic was like that, You're just a sheep. If
you follow those rules. If we all did what you
brilliant people do, the whole thing falls apart. You see
the problem, right, Well, some people don't care, they have
(24:03):
no interest in the social compact. I would like them
not only sent it back to board with their group
but perhaps hurled off the plane midflight anyway, But that's controversial.
That pales in comparison though too in my mind. And
it's in large part of Southwest Airlines phenomenon though it's
(24:23):
spreading where the anybody who needs assistance or extra time
boarding may now board. And you got a line of
fifteen wheelchairs and then miracle cure thirteen of those people
walk off at the other end.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Just fine. Oh, it's a beautiful triumph of the human spirit.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
So air stewardess is now can heal people like you know,
like an evangelist or something.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You'll be hailed. Oh thank god, rise.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Up and walk out into the terminal if you sit
in a wheelchair, so you can get on a first
and then walk off because you're really fine. You just
want a better see. You are the absolute worst kind
of human being on earth to me, you were sellers,
awful murderers. But anyway, I don't want to get in
(25:16):
the way of your populace.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So awful.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
It's not a popular screen, it's just it's just the
basic humanity, you know, the Joe Getty. It is mocking
people or handicapped. We've come up with a way to
help people who've had the misfortunate of being handicapped, and
you're gonna mock that or ruin.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It out of your selfishness. Oh, it's awful. I still
put murderers above them on the totem pole.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
But yeah, I was thinking about I didn't realize Terry Garr,
the actress who died yesterday, had MS.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I didn't know that. And what a cutie and so
funny back in the day.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Oh, a friend of mine died of MS. Scott her
memorial this weekend, and so MS has been on my mind.
But if you're if you're healthy, you should be thankful
for that every single day, and not, you know, mock
fate or God or whatever you believe in by pretending
to be handicapped. Well, Joe's rough justice, which you're familiar with,
(26:13):
is you you are sentenced to being whatever you you
faked being. Oh you're pretending to be crippled. Hold still
pretending your life don't work? Okay, gonna tie you down
for a second. Some of this is gonna be a
little Saudi and it's uh, don't watch, Okay, those of
you who are of more gentle dispositions, don't watch. But
(26:36):
I will have society reformed, give me six months being
yeah somewhat anyway. Uh so that's going on. Then this
story again not politics exactly, but uh a, the biggest
French newspaper, Lemonde uh did a study that found out
that the bodyguards of Joe Biden, the secret Service guys Kamala,
(27:00):
Donald Trump and uh what's his face? The weak president
of France a Macron, Vladimir Putin, all of their bodyguards
are into the same or quite a few of them,
the same fitness app slash watch, this Strava thing, and
they all log their jogs and their.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Exercise and all.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And if you can figure out who's on their security detail,
which is pretty easy to do, you know where the
candidate or the president is, you know, at hotel they're
staying at, you know, when they get to a certain
city or whatever. By tracking these guys and gals and
their their fitness app. Yeah, that's interesting that all that
open source intelligence stuff I find fascinating. There's a lot
(27:43):
of it in the David Sanger book about things we
were able to figure out at the beginning of the
Ukrainian War with new modern ways of looking at this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Things like you're just talking about you can.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
There's so much info out there your you know, your
your your cell phone pings, your bank records, You're just
all kinds of stuff that people can find. Yeah, Now,
the various governments in question have all said, well, we
don't feel like this poses a real operational risk to
the protect ESA something something. Anyway, I've got to go
(28:17):
have a meeting with my staff, so they are going
to be cutting down on how often these people can
use these apps or I don't know, there's actually there
was some concern was it fitbit or one of the
popular apps that so many US service personnel wore them
and used them that you could map the movements of
personnel around bases in the US, figure out their staffing levels,
(28:42):
and around the world. I'm sorry, I should say around
the US and the world and get a lot of
open source intelligence about American military operations through that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It's you know, it's somewhat troubling. It's also very very interesting. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
One final note, again not terribly political. A Kentucky man
who was pronounced brain dead and prepared for organ donation
woke up before he is set to have his organs removed.
Oh the incident has sparked an investigation led several people
to quit their jobs. I'm still using these. Anthony Thomas TJ. Hoover,
(29:18):
thirty six years old, woke up multiple times before he
was scheduled to donate his organs in Richmond, Kentucky. Oh
my god, set an organ preservationist who does this for
a living and quit her job.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It was a big mess. Oh what what part of it?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The whole You're gonna harvest organs out of a live guy? Well,
are you familiar? Are you familiar with the concept of
the honor Walk? No, which is a moving, moving thing.
It's a ceremony of respect where people gather in the
halls of the hospital as the donor is moved to
the room where the recovery surgery begins. It's a well,
(30:00):
it's the walk, the honor walk, where this person who
has chosen to donate their organs to help other people live,
is quietly saluted as there now essentially brain dead but
still functioning body is moved to where the organs will
be donated. Well, during the honor walk, he woke up
(30:20):
and began tracking his family members with his eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Oh my god. His family members said, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Hey, TJ is looking at me, and I'm sorry for
your loss.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We got to get him in there.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, let's keep moving here, let's keep moving well, they
were told by a couple of other people involved, No,
that's a normal reflex.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And but his sister said, he's looking right at me. No,
he's not getting that liver.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The organ procedures called off, and Hoover survived, though he
suffers from brain damage and has minimal short term memory.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Hey me too, but you can't have my lungs.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He's able to walk, he's able to find himself, talks
if you ask him questions. He just can't remember a
whole lot, so you can't really hold a conversation with him.
But he's there, and he's really funny too, and he.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Wants his lungs. He's using. Your memory's not so good.
Give me your.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Heart, holy cow. And and just hours before, what's the
soda you don't remember? Sorry, give me your lungs out
out with your good nation. So hours before the organization
was supposed to take place, they were doing a cardiac
catori of catheratization to see if his heart was healthy
(31:40):
enough to be donated and he woke up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
He woke up in.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Response to the pain, because when they go through the
arter is he's really painful. After he woke up, he
was sedated. Well, says Martin, the woman who quit.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
They shouldn't have given him any more medication and sedated him.
They should have figured out if he was alive or
not and taken him back to the ICU. Why but
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
If I start to wake up, don't sedate me to
make sure I'm back asleep again.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And just for the record, I did not make up
this story in time for Halloween. No, it actually happened.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
God, that's horrific. She really really horrific. Look, I'm an
organ donor. I'm proud of it. When I go, you
can have whatever parts we ain't worn out, and there
aren't many.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But hey, hey, do na do not be moving in
early right damn vultures.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Make sure I'm past my expiration date before you take
those out. Kamala Harris has responded to the Biden garbage comment.
If you don't know what we're talking about, we'll get
to that later. It's kind of the dumb story of the.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Day, called you garbage. He's a monster, among other things.
On the way stay here. National polls a battle ground.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
State poles continue to show the president shall raise so
close that it's within the margin America go either way.
That's why I'm not going to do polls from now
through election there because just come on, it's tight. We
have no idea what's going to happen. Let's just watch
the people vote.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Jake Tapper saying, not gonna do polls.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
And the people who are like our poles are also
closer all over the place, are tend to be people
on the left. Mark Alprin's view is their intiler polling
still has Trump winning definitely most likely and including Democratic strategist.
But anyway, we can talk about that another time.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Do I need to know anything about this?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I agree with Jake Tapper and friends of I hear
another word about any poll. This is the the fabulous
self is Seth Dllon, the head guy at the Babylon
B shockingly endorsing Kamala harris Hi.
Speaker 10 (33:40):
I'm Seth Dylon, CEO of the Babylon B. All other
fake news organizations like the Washington Posts and the LA
Times refuse to save democracy. We hear at the Babylon
b are proud to do our part today. We've decided
to officially endorse communist Kamala Harris for president. Why Kamala
be here all day? If I listed all the reasons,
(34:01):
but I'll name a few to begin with. She shot
straight to the top because of her intellect. Smart lady.
She's the first person in history to win a primary
without receiving a single vote. That's impressive. She's a person
of color Indian. I think she's a femenomenon. She gave
(34:22):
Drew Barrymore a hug, an act that symbolized her willingness
to wrap her arms around the country and give us
all a hug whenever Republicans make us feel sad.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Oh.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
She was such a popular vice president that over twelve
million people hiked hundreds of miles to cross our southern
border to vote for her without id in this election.
She has a melodic and soothing voice, especially when she laughs.
I can listen to her laugh for hours. Most importantly,
though she is not Donald Trump. Wow, how can you
(34:53):
put into words the greatness that is Kamala Harris. She
reminds us to look forward to what can be unburdened
by what has been, and she understands, perhaps better than
anyone else, the significance of the passage of time. But
she knows, as all wise leaders do, that there is
great significance to the passage of time. Each minute that
passes takes us from the present into the future. We're
(35:17):
only here right now in this moment because other moments
like the one that just went by have passed. What
could be more significant than that? We are grateful that,
when America is on the brink of losing its democracy,
the person standing strong against the looming threat of fascism
as a woman is accomplished, intelligent, joyful, and non white
(35:38):
as Kamala Harris. And so we join Eminem, Megan d. Stallion,
the Insane Clown Posse, and many other great thought leaders
by proudly endorsing Kamala Harris the President.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
That's pretty good, dryly delicious. Yes, indeed, Sess Dylan, fabulous
Babylon b. So the flap of the day is Joe
I didn't callin y'all trash.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
He's a senile old man. He did say it, I think, uh.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Anyway, the excuses for it, Kamala has reacted that like
since we've been on the air, some of the punditrary
around it. We'll have all that an hour three If
you don't get our three Gets podcast Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty arm Strong
and he is Armstrong and Natty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nobody's in charge. Joe Biden is asleep. Kamala, Is it
a dance party with Beyonce? Kamala? Is it a dance party.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
With Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Say he is.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Dance party with BEYONCEY dance party with BEYONCEY, dance party
with BEYONCEY dance party with beyoncey beyoncey beyoncey beyoncey Beyonce,
party with Beyonce, Beyonce.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
People are doing TikTok dances to that today. So this
is today's crazy. It'll be over by noon East. Yeah,
you're this hour gone, this hour. But there's something musical.
But the way Trump talks a lot, and I think
it lends itself to these sorts of things pretty well.
They're killing the dogs, they're killing the cats, they're eating
your pets.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
That allows you know, it's good for this sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, at a dance party with Beyonce, with Beyonce's that's
so beautiful Meanwhile, Kamala was actually on the lips delivering
her final argument, which sounded a little like.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
This, Donald Trump intends to use the United States military
against American citizens who simply disagree with him. People he calls, quote,
the enemy from within.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
So I'm going to bring people together. He's going to
put you in concentration camps. That is the final argument. Okay,
all right. We talked yesterday about the freak out over
the Washington Post's non endorsement of a presidential candidate, a
number of their writers and editors wedding their pants and
screeching breaking news.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm looking. I'm looking at ABC News right now, said,
better be good.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I don't know what they're doing, but I'm seeing the
comedian from the Madison Square Garden rally.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
They're playing the clip again in his Wednesday Sunday Monday Tuesday,
wednesdayday four.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Of the four story day of major network coverage over
the Puerto Rico garbage comment bombing comedian makes stupid joke
four hours before Trump hits stage.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
How is it?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
How is that even possible? Desperation and above it, CNN.
Latino voters in swing states angry about joke, CNN. Well,
you know what, given the the might of the media
and its uniform reporting of these stories, all from the
perspective to the left, all telling Hispanic America that, oh yeah,
(03:04):
this guy at the Trump rally said Puerto Ricans are garbage.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, and probably ought to be murdered. That's what he said,
more or less.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
So if this is the most consequential election of my lifetime,
as I'm being told, that's the issue five days out,
six days out from the election, Yeah, comedians joke about
Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, wow, wow, wow, wow? Is right? Monarchy now, democracy
doesn't work. It is the most election of our lifetimes. Yeah,
I'd forgotten that.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So back to the WAPO freak out and Jeff Bezos
deciding they aren't They're going to go back to the
roots and not endorse presidential candidates because they are losing
seventy seven million dollars a year. Because everybody thinks that
the WAPO and other mainstream media is wildly biased, and indeed,
their approval ratings are below that of Congress, which is
below that of you know, vomiting and headaches. So anyway,
(04:02):
that's the that's the subtext, the setup for this.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh I thought it was interesting.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Somebody directed me to the comments on the Jeff Bezos
editorial explaining why the WAPPO would would follow that policy henceforth,
and every single one of them was an ad hominem
attack or at the best, this is the best one
I found.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Uh, Jeff, I edited your statement.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Now more than ever, the world needs a credible, trusted,
independent voice, and we're better for that voice to originate
than the capital city, the most important country in the world.
Many of the finest journalists you'll find anywhere work at
the Washington Post, and they work painstakingly every day to
get to the truth. So while that, unlike virtually every
other comment in the first thirty or so, wasn't a
you're a stupid, a hole and billionaire suck and you
(04:53):
should shut up, which is most of the comments, that
was just simply denying his case or pretending it doesn't exist.
The numbers now, two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers have
canceled their Washington Both subscription. That's ten percent of their
total subscriber number, right, And I'll bet Bezos is surprised
(05:14):
by that, but not completely surprised, because his whole point is, look,
we've put all of our eggs in one ideological basket,
and we've given away all of our credibility. It is
not that shocking that the current customer base is what
I just described, right, there are people want nothing but
left wing news. So no, I'll bet he's not shocked
(05:37):
by the outrage, but maybe by the gravity of it,
the size of it. Anyway, that's kind of a lead
up to this which I found very interesting from Fred Bauer,
who writes for National Review, among others, And this is
he is a very serious guy, and this is not
some sort of you know, crazy Pizzagate QAnon stuff. This
is this is who people are actually paying attention to
(06:00):
inside the Beltway and in the intelligencia.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Of progressive New York.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It's these two Harvard professors, Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblot
of How Democracies Die Fame if you're familiar with that book.
But they have been advocating this complete civil society resistance
to Trump if he returns to the White House. It
reminds me of you know, the fabulous Well it doesn't
(06:25):
matter Michael Pillsbury's book One hundred Year Marathon, But China
has a whole of society program to resist, to oppose
the United States. From bankers to media, to the military,
to shopkeepers, to investment investors, to students in the United States,
to Chinese home town leagues in the United States. Every man,
(06:46):
jack of them needs to be against the United States. Well,
Levitsky and zablat have have and if you wonder about
their influence, when Chuck Schumer was trying to blow up
the filibuster, he had these two addressed the Senate Democratic
Caucus explaining why you had to blow up the filibuster
to save democracy. But so anyway, these guys are calling,
(07:09):
in writing and in meetings for a societal mobilization in
which quote, influential groups and societal leaders, chief executives, religious leaders,
labor users, leaders, prominent retired public officials must speak out
social mobilization. Societal mobilization means a coordinated effort by business, religion,
elite academics, and others to oppose the elected government when
(07:32):
it crosses some red line. Power actually asks whether it
pledges some democratic politicians to try to pack the court.
What itself passing be passing over a red line is
unaddressed in this essay. But anyway, so this idea of
unified resistance is sacred among the New York Times, Chuck
(07:55):
Schumer AOC crowd, and the Washington Post screwed it up
or Jeff Bezos screwed it up. That's why everybody's freaking
out so much, is because they're all in on this plan.
They're all down with this idea, and they've got to
have the wappo in on it, right.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I heard.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I listened to a long podcast with Schultzberger, the guy
that's the head dude at the New York Times. It
was interesting to me to find out these these are
really big organizations, and you know, being the publisher or
the owner or whatever, you don't have near as much
like fingertip control of what's going on as I like
(08:39):
have always imagined. I mean, the Schultzberg ad the New
York Times was talking in the podcast about how he
regularly like gets up in the morning and reads The
New York Times to think, oh my god, I can't
believe we printed that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
It's not like he's controlling on a day by day
basis what's on the front page.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, that's that's true.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You have to delegate authority to various people, So I
would think to turn things around, Bezos is going to
have to get rid of a bunch of a bunch
of people in important positions. I would think, well, right,
And your New York Times example is a good one
and kind of instructive in that even if the owner
or even the publisher decided we're way too biased, I'm
(09:19):
going to replace some people. You almost have to overdo
it to neutralize it. I mean, it's like meeting a
force with the force. You've got to meet it with
enough force to slow its momentum. And in the case
of a WAPPO or New York Times, the momentum towards
the left is enormous. So yeah, you would have to
(09:41):
just do an enormous purge I think to even render
it neutral. Well, it's probably the wrong time of any
four year period to be having these conversations, because things
are the craziest they ever get in terms of media
coverage right now, days before a presidential election. Got an
example of a coming up brit Hume's criticism of the
(10:02):
media coverage of the whole garbage comment from Biden.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
If you haven't heard that, we'll play it for you
right after this.

on the topic of institutional media bias. So I've got
all these TVs in front of me, CNN, ABC, NBC,
(11:15):
so lots of coverage of the Puerto Rican joke from
four days ago. Only on Fox is have I seen
anything about the Biden garbage remark, although Kamala Harris has
just been asked about it live on the tarmac, Hanson,
get that for us. But if you haven't heard Biden's
comment from last night, it's this or.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
floating down there is his supporters. His his demonizational scene
is I'm consciable.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
The only garbage I see out there is his supporters,
and that's the president.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So that's not a surrogate.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Four hours before Trump speaks, who comes out and says,
I don't know the guy, and I just allow it's
got that's the president. So they tried to clean it up.
But brit Hume wrote on Fox this morning or in
his Twitter, it's one thing for media outlets to dismiss
Biden's calling Trump supporter's garbage as an idiotic remark by
a senile old man long prone to gaffs, but to
(12:17):
pretend he didn't see it, didn't say it, or to
ignore it completely as another matter, entirely an example of
media corrupted by politics.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Absolutely, you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Tell me if Trump hadn't called half the country garbage
last night, that wouldn't be the only story in politics today.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Give me a break. I mean, try harder.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I hate it when people text us that, but you know,
be better, try harder. It's easy to see once you
become aware of it what I was talking about before,
and certainly in twenty sixteen. My god, it included the
FBI and fifty current and former intelligence officials and whatever.
(13:04):
The intelligency crowd is absolutely bought into the notion if
we all have to oppose Trump every minute of every day,
no matter what, in spite of the fact that fifty
percent of the population or so we'll find out next week,
think no, we'd prefer him to the Democrats, thank you
very much. We know something about the people that set
(13:26):
those ballots on fire at the dropboxes in Oregon and Washington.
I'll give you a guess what kind of people they
might be Stay tuned for that.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
In other news, Donald's recently announced that it's quarter pounder
is back on the menu after health officials ruled out
beef as the source of any collide routbreak. They've also
managed to rule out chicken as the source of McNuggets.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
To McDonald's joke, I haven't been following this that closely.
Have they identified where the problem came from? Or is
it still a mystery or they haven't figured out I
can't answer it with authority. I thought a couple of
days ago they'd nailed it down to one supplier of onions, Katie,
do you know? Yeah, they had nailed it down to
Taylor Farms. Okay, does Taylor Farms know how it happened?
(14:12):
I was just wondering because I thought, Wow, could this
be China ran somebody just trying to figure out, you know,
a little dry run, a messing with our food supply?
So you don't think of amputaging. Are sacred burgers exactly?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Oh no? Or you know what happens? Could just be
that too. This news came out yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Because the election's going on, you don't hear anything other
than what Trump or Kamala Harris says, but US airlines
are now required to automatically refund you for a canceled flight,
which should have been the case all along, as opposed to, oh,
you give me two drink tickets and I get credit
for the next flight or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, we had a deal. I'm supposed to fly from
here to there. You canceled my flight.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They have to give you your money back immediately now, which
is completely fair. I think I go to the butcher
shop and say I need a leg of lamb tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I go tomorrow and they say, no lamb. Sorry, I
get my money back. No, no, you get a store credit.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No give me them my money back. No store credit.
You have to and you have to use us again.
You're not even allowed to go to a different butcher.
That's on many that big bone behind the counter. Just
for a second. I need to borrow it. Whether the
government should be involved with that or it should be
free market, it's kind of difficult. But then you got
you know, you only have so many airlines and the
barrier of entry for it to become an airline and
all that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'm not smart enough to figure that out. The bullet
ballot box arson attacks. So in Oregon and Washington some
of your drop boxes for ballots, which I don't I
wish it didn't exist. I don't like the whole thing
at all, but they do exist lots of places.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A couple of them got set on fire.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Authorities say the words free Palestine and free Gaza were
written on the incendiary devices used to them on fire.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Boy, there's a shock.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
As I said yesterday with complete confidence, you got conservative
suburbs of Portland where ballots are set ablaze. Who sets
things on fire in the Portland area? Let me think, Gee,
I can't come up with anybody leftist, the Antifa types
that the radical fevered young left goodness sakes. So I
(16:24):
mentioned this earlier. Is anybody watching the TV show Tracker?
It's like an actual twenty five years in Levenworth for
burning ballots And I'm not joking. I'm fine with it.
Back to you, Is anybody watching the TV show Tracker?
It's a it's an actual network show. I think I
think we became aware of it watching NFL football in
their advertising tracker endlessly on CBS. My thirteen year old
I started watching it. Let me read the description to
(16:46):
you Are you ready for this? Yes, lone Wolf Survive.
That's a good start, right there, isn't it. The first
two words is a good description of the show Lone
Wolf lone Wolf's survivalist. Third word also good long start.
Longe wolf survivalist. Culter Shaw roams the country, is a
reward seeker, using his expert tracking skills to help private
(17:07):
citizens and law enforcement solve all manners of mysteries while
contending with his own fractured family.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh, it's basically the lone ranger.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And I was thinking, I'll bet this is an archetype
that goes back thousands of years in terms of stories
like the person who roams for village to village, helping
people out and you don't really know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Much about him, and then they disappear again. It's got
to be one of those, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Anyway, He's incredibly handsome and charismatic. I'm sure women are
digging him like crazy. But I hadn't watched network television
in such a long time. My thirteen year old is
loving it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Man. For me, it's eye rollingly trite. I mean, it's just,
oh my god, I can't believe this is happening. When
you're used to netflicks and that sort of stuff. Sure
that that speaks though, to kind of the primal human
human need for certain kinds of stories, and you've got
to keep it simple for young people and simpletons.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Which I'm sure it's what they're aiming at. I guess
it's a pretty good show. It's well done if.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You like that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Jeff coming up, my favorite Biden appointment. He appointed a hero.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Seriously, stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
I tried to England mistakenly showed pornography for a few
seconds during a sing along for grade school kids. Right
there on the spot. Some of the tenors became baritones.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How does that have? Not a good joke? Now? How
does that happen? I don't know the porn. Don't show
porn to children. It's like hackers. Usually they can't get
into a live stream. Yeah, they get into zoom calls
for that sort of stuff, and then they drop a
(18:48):
little porn in. I guess you find it funny.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Come on, I guess for a dull business meeting, I'm
fine with that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Don't deal with children. I am highly amused by it.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
For like a tele conference for some corporate thing, it's
funny and it just is.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Not children.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Oh good lord, can we please stop sexualizing children? Anyway?
I said to Jack, Hey, I've got a bunch of
non political stuff we can do here. If you're into politics,
stay with us. The race is pretty much tied. Nobody
knows who's going to turn out. You're probably garbage. Trump's
gonna put you into prison camp.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Anyway. It's a pretty summary will Gobba black garbage.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Yes, so, but I realized this is almost semi political,
this story, but I still like it. America has a
newish archivist. This gal was put into the gig just
before the whole Trump mar a lago thing. She wasn't
in charge of it. She just got the job right
(19:48):
as that was happening. But her name is Colleen Shogan
or Chagan. Anyway, she's now very controversial. Pointy now, remember
because the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates a
popular museum on the National Mall and is getting together
(20:12):
a brand new America's history through the Archives presentation. Her
philosophy is, this is a great country, and we're going
to highlight the good stuff in the recent decade or so.
It's all about how mean we aren't Indians. How mean
we were to Japanese during World War Two? How mean
we were to black people.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean, this is an awful, evil, racist country. And
she says, no, I'm not having it. That's not why
people come here.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And she's getting enormous pushback from her staff, but I oh,
get them.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Our radio studio, by the way, is built on the
land that once belonged to the Rappa Hoose and they
would have two brave warriors get up every morning and
describe the news of.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
The day and a seven inch of it with some
nice native humor.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Anyway, it's I think it's it's terrific. Now, if you
are doing a serious study of the history of America
in the nineteenth century, for instance, and you want to
talk about treaties with Indians and broken treaties and whatever,
that's absolutely legitimate, one hundred percent legitimate. It's rough. It's
the history in the world. But it's rough, well, of course,
(21:23):
yeah yeah. But if you are going to the National
Archives to to take in the history of the country, right, no,
it's it's jeez, Louise the whole And this is so childlike,
it's so knee jerk that self loathing is absolutely necessary
(21:44):
to be a progressive and good standing I mean, no
matter what the actual balance of historical good and evil
and mistakes and triumphs and all not the only It's
like JT's email we featured like an hour ago. You
cannot be positive or optimistic in progressive circles. You must
be angry and self loathing. You don't get a choice. Well,
(22:06):
it's all about what you emphasize. Obviously, all the stuff
can be true history, but why emphasize that. I don't
exactly understand what the point of it is. Well, you
grew up going to schools that employed Howard Zinn's awful
America hating view of history. Anyway, it happened under our watch, friends.
Totally different topic. American Airlines is now busting people who
(22:32):
cut the boarding line try to board before their group
boarding group two. Then you got some group three a
hole joint. Right, Oh life right, Life's come. So passengers
in boarding group one were filing onto American Airlines flight
to Dallas when an I'm gonna sound went off at
(22:52):
gate B eleven.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Dip dip, dip, doop.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Decade agent delivered the bad news the passenger, you're a summary.
You're in group five four, Can you please wait for
your group? It went off again minutes later. It looked
like the last gasp sound of AirPods running out of
juice or some sad.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Game over music for an old video game.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
That's how they describe this sound. You know, this is
the modern internet, exactly, O, this is the internet. They
ought to have a link to the actual sound. You'll
be boarding with group five, sir, the agent said. Five
more passengers were turned back before group.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Two was called. Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I always follow the rules because it doesn't matter that
much to me. But I'll bet there are lots of
people been doing that their whole lives.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No no, no, no, yeah life hack board with the board.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
With group one. They never stop you. Yeah, Now that
makes you was jerk. You realize we all know we
could do that. We've known people like that. Our old
producer Dominic was like that, You're just a sheep. If
you follow those rules. If we all did what you
brilliant people do, the whole thing falls apart. You see
the problem, right, Well, some people don't care, they have
(24:03):
no interest in the social compact. I would like them
not only sent it back to board with their group
but perhaps hurled off the plane midflight anyway, But that's controversial.
That pales in comparison though too in my mind. And
it's in large part of Southwest Airlines phenomenon though it's
(24:23):
spreading where the anybody who needs assistance or extra time
boarding may now board. And you got a line of
fifteen wheelchairs and then miracle cure thirteen of those people
walk off at the other end.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Just fine. Oh, it's a beautiful triumph of the human spirit.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
So air stewardess is now can heal people like you know,
like an evangelist or something.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You'll be hailed. Oh thank god, rise.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Up and walk out into the terminal if you sit
in a wheelchair, so you can get on a first
and then walk off because you're really fine. You just
want a better see. You are the absolute worst kind
of human being on earth to me, you were sellers,
awful murderers. But anyway, I don't want to get in
(25:16):
the way of your populace.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So awful.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
It's not a popular screen, it's just it's just the
basic humanity, you know, the Joe Getty. It is mocking
people or handicapped. We've come up with a way to
help people who've had the misfortunate of being handicapped, and
you're gonna mock that or ruin.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It out of your selfishness. Oh, it's awful. I still
put murderers above them on the totem pole.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
But yeah, I was thinking about I didn't realize Terry Garr,
the actress who died yesterday, had MS.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I didn't know that. And what a cutie and so
funny back in the day.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Oh, a friend of mine died of MS. Scott her
memorial this weekend, and so MS has been on my mind.
But if you're if you're healthy, you should be thankful
for that every single day, and not, you know, mock
fate or God or whatever you believe in by pretending
to be handicapped. Well, Joe's rough justice, which you're familiar with,
(26:13):
is you you are sentenced to being whatever you you
faked being. Oh you're pretending to be crippled. Hold still
pretending your life don't work? Okay, gonna tie you down
for a second. Some of this is gonna be a
little Saudi and it's uh, don't watch, Okay, those of
you who are of more gentle dispositions, don't watch. But
(26:36):
I will have society reformed, give me six months being
yeah somewhat anyway. Uh so that's going on. Then this
story again not politics exactly, but uh a, the biggest
French newspaper, Lemonde uh did a study that found out
that the bodyguards of Joe Biden, the secret Service guys Kamala,
(27:00):
Donald Trump and uh what's his face? The weak president
of France a Macron, Vladimir Putin, all of their bodyguards
are into the same or quite a few of them,
the same fitness app slash watch, this Strava thing, and
they all log their jogs and their.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Exercise and all.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And if you can figure out who's on their security detail,
which is pretty easy to do, you know where the
candidate or the president is, you know, at hotel they're
staying at, you know, when they get to a certain
city or whatever. By tracking these guys and gals and
their their fitness app. Yeah, that's interesting that all that
open source intelligence stuff I find fascinating. There's a lot
(27:43):
of it in the David Sanger book about things we
were able to figure out at the beginning of the
Ukrainian War with new modern ways of looking at this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Things like you're just talking about you can.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
There's so much info out there your you know, your
your your cell phone pings, your bank records, You're just
all kinds of stuff that people can find. Yeah, Now,
the various governments in question have all said, well, we
don't feel like this poses a real operational risk to
the protect ESA something something. Anyway, I've got to go
(28:17):
have a meeting with my staff, so they are going
to be cutting down on how often these people can
use these apps or I don't know, there's actually there
was some concern was it fitbit or one of the
popular apps that so many US service personnel wore them
and used them that you could map the movements of
personnel around bases in the US, figure out their staffing levels,
(28:42):
and around the world. I'm sorry, I should say around
the US and the world and get a lot of
open source intelligence about American military operations through that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It's you know, it's somewhat troubling. It's also very very interesting. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
One final note, again not terribly political. A Kentucky man
who was pronounced brain dead and prepared for organ donation
woke up before he is set to have his organs removed.
Oh the incident has sparked an investigation led several people
to quit their jobs. I'm still using these. Anthony Thomas TJ. Hoover,
(29:18):
thirty six years old, woke up multiple times before he
was scheduled to donate his organs in Richmond, Kentucky. Oh
my god, set an organ preservationist who does this for
a living and quit her job.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It was a big mess. Oh what what part of it?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The whole You're gonna harvest organs out of a live guy? Well,
are you familiar? Are you familiar with the concept of
the honor Walk? No, which is a moving, moving thing.
It's a ceremony of respect where people gather in the
halls of the hospital as the donor is moved to
the room where the recovery surgery begins. It's a well,
(30:00):
it's the walk, the honor walk, where this person who
has chosen to donate their organs to help other people live,
is quietly saluted as there now essentially brain dead but
still functioning body is moved to where the organs will
be donated. Well, during the honor walk, he woke up
(30:20):
and began tracking his family members with his eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Oh my god. His family members said, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Hey, TJ is looking at me, and I'm sorry for
your loss.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We got to get him in there.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Yeah, let's keep moving here, let's keep moving well, they
were told by a couple of other people involved, No,
that's a normal reflex.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And but his sister said, he's looking right at me. No,
he's not getting that liver.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
The organ procedures called off, and Hoover survived, though he
suffers from brain damage and has minimal short term memory.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Hey me too, but you can't have my lungs.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He's able to walk, he's able to find himself, talks
if you ask him questions. He just can't remember a
whole lot, so you can't really hold a conversation with him.
But he's there, and he's really funny too, and he.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Wants his lungs. He's using. Your memory's not so good.
Give me your.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Heart, holy cow. And and just hours before, what's the
soda you don't remember? Sorry, give me your lungs out
out with your good nation. So hours before the organization
was supposed to take place, they were doing a cardiac
catori of catheratization to see if his heart was healthy
(31:40):
enough to be donated and he woke up.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
He woke up in.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Response to the pain, because when they go through the
arter is he's really painful. After he woke up, he
was sedated. Well, says Martin, the woman who quit.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
They shouldn't have given him any more medication and sedated him.
They should have figured out if he was alive or
not and taken him back to the ICU. Why but
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
If I start to wake up, don't sedate me to
make sure I'm back asleep again.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And just for the record, I did not make up
this story in time for Halloween. No, it actually happened.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
God, that's horrific. She really really horrific. Look, I'm an
organ donor. I'm proud of it. When I go, you
can have whatever parts we ain't worn out, and there
aren't many.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But hey, hey, do na do not be moving in
early right damn vultures.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Make sure I'm past my expiration date before you take
those out. Kamala Harris has responded to the Biden garbage comment.
If you don't know what we're talking about, we'll get
to that later. It's kind of the dumb story of the.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Day, called you garbage. He's a monster, among other things.
On the way stay here. National polls a battle ground.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
State poles continue to show the president shall raise so
close that it's within the margin America go either way.
That's why I'm not going to do polls from now
through election there because just come on, it's tight. We
have no idea what's going to happen. Let's just watch
the people vote.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Jake Tapper saying, not gonna do polls.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
And the people who are like our poles are also
closer all over the place, are tend to be people
on the left. Mark Alprin's view is their intiler polling
still has Trump winning definitely most likely and including Democratic strategist.
But anyway, we can talk about that another time.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Do I need to know anything about this?
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I agree with Jake Tapper and friends of I hear
another word about any poll. This is the the fabulous
self is Seth Dllon, the head guy at the Babylon
B shockingly endorsing Kamala harris Hi.
Speaker 10 (33:40):
I'm Seth Dylon, CEO of the Babylon B. All other
fake news organizations like the Washington Posts and the LA
Times refuse to save democracy. We hear at the Babylon
b are proud to do our part today. We've decided
to officially endorse communist Kamala Harris for president. Why Kamala
be here all day? If I listed all the reasons,
(34:01):
but I'll name a few to begin with. She shot
straight to the top because of her intellect. Smart lady.
She's the first person in history to win a primary
without receiving a single vote. That's impressive. She's a person
of color Indian. I think she's a femenomenon. She gave
(34:22):
Drew Barrymore a hug, an act that symbolized her willingness
to wrap her arms around the country and give us
all a hug whenever Republicans make us feel sad.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Oh.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
She was such a popular vice president that over twelve
million people hiked hundreds of miles to cross our southern
border to vote for her without id in this election.
She has a melodic and soothing voice, especially when she laughs.
I can listen to her laugh for hours. Most importantly,
though she is not Donald Trump. Wow, how can you
(34:53):
put into words the greatness that is Kamala Harris. She
reminds us to look forward to what can be unburdened
by what has been, and she understands, perhaps better than
anyone else, the significance of the passage of time. But
she knows, as all wise leaders do, that there is
great significance to the passage of time. Each minute that
passes takes us from the present into the future. We're
(35:17):
only here right now in this moment because other moments
like the one that just went by have passed. What
could be more significant than that? We are grateful that,
when America is on the brink of losing its democracy,
the person standing strong against the looming threat of fascism
as a woman is accomplished, intelligent, joyful, and non white
(35:38):
as Kamala Harris. And so we join Eminem, Megan d. Stallion,
the Insane Clown Posse, and many other great thought leaders
by proudly endorsing Kamala Harris the President.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
That's pretty good, dryly delicious. Yes, indeed, Sess Dylan, fabulous
Babylon b. So the flap of the day is Joe
I didn't callin y'all trash.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
He's a senile old man. He did say it, I think, uh.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Anyway, the excuses for it, Kamala has reacted that like
since we've been on the air, some of the punditrary
around it. We'll have all that an hour three If
