Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm strong and Jetty enough,
he Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
We also know that as the price of housing has
gone up, the size of down payments have gone up
as well. Even if aspiring homeowners save for years, it
often still is not enough. So in addition, while we
work on the housing shortage, my administration will provide first

(00:49):
time home buyers with twenty five thousand dollars to.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Help with the down payments on a new home.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
They can do that, They can do that. So even
that proposal, which she announced on Friday, has been attacked
a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
By the way, we're live in.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Chicago at the United Center where the Democratic National Convention
is going on. But Kamala Harris with rolling out her
economic plan on Friday, the twenty five thousand dollars for
Holmes thing got attacked a lot. The price fixing is
what really got attacked.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Oh yeah, by from all quarters. Oh yeah, I'm not
sure I've ever seen anything like that, not from its
own side.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
I don't recall anytime like a Republican making a big
proposal and like all a concert.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well maybe some.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
Trump's like trade stuff, yeah, some of the tariff stuff.
Yeah maybe, But yeah, Kamala got it good from the
Washington Post Democrat economic person and Obama's old economic guy
who just all thought this was just a terrible idea.
Here's a little montage of reaction to Kama's plan.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Then I want to talk more about it.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Some Democratic economists say her plans to target corporate price
gouging and eliminate taxes on tips likely would not actually
bring prices down or significantly help low income workers.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
Republicans, as you know, are accusing Harris of advocating for
price controls, like in communist countries, where the government sets
a price rather than the marketplace. You just said, it's
not price controls, But can you explain, then, how you
define what an excessive price is if you don't have
a benchmark.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated that
plan would add one point seven trillion dollars to the
federal deficit.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Are you comfortable with that?

Speaker 8 (02:44):
I am comfortable with that because what we need to
do is get rid of the Trump tax cuts for
the wealthy.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I watch that that was ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
But when you've got Margaret Brennan to face the nation saying, yeah, what's.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
What's an excessive price? Right? How can you possibly set
that you.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
And the other part of kammos speech, which I should
have had us grab.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Did you hear it going on about prices? That was weird?
And she was doing it like can you believe this?

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Eggs are up one hundred and fifty percent in the
last three years, meat is up eighty percent cars and like, yeah,
we all know, and your party did it, or or
even if your party didn't do it, you and your
boss have been the ones that have been.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Running the place, right, So why are you acting like
this is new news? That's you know? That reminds me.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
We brought them up several times today Gavin Newsom's We've
got to do something about.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
The allless on the streets exactly. The thing needs to
be done and I'm.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
The man to do it, which is absolutely hilarious. But yeah,
that's what else are you going to do? It's actually
a decent enough or Wellian gambit to try.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Tell you what.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
This inflation is out of control. I'm mad about it.
I'm gonna do something about it. Okay, all right, that.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Was her exact tone. That was pretty entertaining. But so
I came across this thing.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Are you going to go back to the housing down
payment thing of a digger that we played the I
was not because I was just going to say, I mean,
that is so obviously directly inflationary. I'm just going to
hang in a hand out twenty five grand extra money
in the system for people to then throw at houses.
That's not going to bring down the price of houses.
It's going to raise it by roughly twenty five to
thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Right.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
The price gouging thing is attackable because it's full of
undefined terms. What's price gouging when our price is excessive?
What sort of emergency allows? What level of raising? I
mean it's oh, it's as nightmare. Yeah, anyway, yes, speacause
of the nightmare. Here you go this guy, Robert Sterling,
who I didn't know, and he's kind of a libertarian

(04:47):
ish economics guy, but he had this thread on this
that I thought was so interesting. And I won't read
the whole thing because it's long, but you'll figure out.
You'll catch on her hill real quick. People need to
stop overreacting about Kamala's plan to reduce food inflation as
like as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation
in the end of America. I worked in the food
industry for many years, marketing, and blah blah blah. Here's

(05:09):
a step by step summary of what would actually happen.
The punchline being at the end he says, so it
would lead to mass starvation in the end of America.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
But right, here's some of the steps.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
One, the government announces that grocery retailers aren't allowed to
raise prices. Two, Grocery stores, which operate on one to
two percent net margins, can't survive if the suppliers raise prices,
so the government has to announce that food producers like Craft, Hendes, Tyson, Hormel,
et cetera. Are also aren't allowed to raise prices. Right,
that's absolutely clearly true. Of course, Three, not all grocery

(05:42):
stores are created equals. Stores and lower income areas make
less money than those in higher income areas, as the
former disproportionately sell lower margin prepackaged foods instead of the
higher margin fresh products like perimeter of.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
The store stuff.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
That all makes sense because stores and lower income areas
aren't able to cover their own overhead because of the
fixed prices. Everything like that, grocery chains start to shut
them down. Food deserts and rural areas and low income
urban areas alike become worse.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Step four.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their
primary costs ingredients, energy, labor. They aren't fixed, and their
shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead,
maintain facilities, and reinvest.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Five.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Grocery chains which have finite shelf space start to repurpose
their stores so they don't have to shut them down,
so they sell more non price controlled items like kitchenware
and apparel, and less price controlled stuff like food. Your
local krogerer Safeway starts to feel more like a Walmart.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
Huh, that makes sense too, of course, if you're not
going to shut it down right.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Six.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Let me think, shall I sell this completely unprofitable all
of a sudden product or something else.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Let me think there's one about payments that I will
skip because it's kind of complicated but also made perfectly
good send Senseven. Small grocery chains start to shut down
entirely or get sold to larger chains like Kroger, which,
as we mentioned earlier, are now selling clothes and pots
and pans and stuff like that to stay afloat, stuff
that they can charge what they want for. In addition
to not being able to cover fixed costs. A major

(07:14):
reason for this is they can no longer reliably secure
delivery of their products due to producers priortorying sales to
larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets.
Because of blah blah blah, we all understand that, I think,
let me jump down to this nine. As supply chains breakdown,
lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning, cities

(07:34):
assigned police officers to patrol parking lots, and food producers
draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks
which are being robbed. Ten The federal government announces a
program to issue block grants for states to purchase an
operated shuttered grocery stores.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh boy.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
The USDA also seizes closed down production facilities. Eleven, the
government announces that prices are all key food costs corn, wheat, cattle, energy,
et cetera, and are also now fixed to stop profiteers
from gouging the now government operated food industry.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
I remember when we were talking about this last week,
I brought up transportation. Yeah, and all the inputs to
transportation would have to be fixed, right exactly twelve.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most
complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain
starts imploding. Thirteen, Communism, mass starvation, and the end of
America quickly ensues.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah. Yeah, none of that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
No, In fact, it's inevitable according to the laws of economics, which,
unlike the laws of progressive cities, you actually have to follow.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Leonard E.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Read wrote I Pencil my Family Tree in nineteen fifty eight.
If you've never read it, it is brilliant. Maybe we
can have a link at Armstrong Egeddy dot com. It
is an explanation of all of the people, the technologies,
the sciences, the plants, the trucks to make a simple
pencil which sells for practically nothing. But it's an enormously

(09:02):
complex undertaking. If you put all the inputs together, and and.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
What's the free market as it is, it is still
profitable to make a pencil that sells for almost nothing.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Right exactly and imagine if bureaucrats had to be in
charge of every input to something as simple as a pencil.
After you read the essay, you realize, oh my god,
that would be disastrous. Well, a pencil ain't nothing compared
to say a car, or running a grocery store for
that matter. I mean, it's a complexity of the supplies

(09:32):
and the produce and the meat, and the workers and
the the energy costs and what your hour is going
to be. All of that has to be fixed by
central planners. Went just fine, signed Mau Setongue.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, I thought that was really interesting.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah, that's great, that's great. Well, that was why it
was so roundly. You know, lamb basted and deserved to be.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
What was she going to move for? An idiotic proposal?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
But so the one thing, the first thing she's come
out and like an these specifics on got attacked by
her own side.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Is she gonna stick with that or is she gonna
move off?

Speaker 6 (10:04):
That?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Is she never gonna mention it again.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
I think they ran a big giant flag up the flagpole.
Nobody saluted, and that flag will not be seen again.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, they just won't mention it again. Yeah, And I
don't think the media will either. They have no interest
in it.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
But yeah, that was a full an incredible, floundering attempt
to grab some attention. Well, and that was her big
economic proposal. When the Washington.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Posts lefty economics person says, it's hard to overstate.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
How bad this idea is. Yeah, that is really something.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Well, and I've been trying to sell a tell Conservative
America everybody keep cool.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
This rollout this.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Oh my god, we don't have to pretend the old
guy can do it anymore.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
We don't have to campaign for a worn out husk
of a soon to be dead man.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
We've got this dynamic young woman of fifty nine. That
ecstasy and the empty vessel principle have combined to give
us the last three four weeks, which has been the fun.
I'm sure if you're on that side of the aisle.
But it will not last. It cannot last, trust me when.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I say this.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
So I've been going out to the mobile vas sectomy
lab during the commercial breaks. I've gotten about a third
of the way through my visectomy. I got to run
back out during these commercials. Are doing it a little
bit at a time. Yeah, so that's good. You know,
you're pretty spry for a guy who's just had that done.
I'm only a third of the way through, right, so
I don't know what it'll be like by the end
of the show.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't know. I don't want to know which third
We got more on the way from Chicago.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Armstrong and yet.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
In Chicago at the convention.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
You know, one of the interesting things about these is
you just see like a US senator walking around like
they're anybody. And part of that is because the security
is so tight and we all have these, you know,
we've been background checked by the Secret Service, badges on.
You can just walk around, but yeah, you'll see whoever
powerful government person or media person just walking everywhere. Here
at the United States Center in Chicago, multiple.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
Metal detectors we had to walk through, and next ray
machines for our bags and everything.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's it's really really thorough.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
As soon as we landed though, in Chicago, I noticed
it was significantly different than Milwaukee and the last convention
we went to.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
The Milwaukee convention was it's so much smaller town.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
But every uber Lyft driver I had super friendly, spoke English.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
We talked about the town and stuff like that. And
I've only had.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
One uber driver so far brought me from the airport,
but didn't speak a lick of English, didn't even get
out of his car. I figured out how to open
his trunk and put my heavy bag in there.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Oh wow.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
And then he was playing really loud some foreign comedian apparently.
I don't even know what language it was, but there
was a talk talk talk laugh talk talk talk laugh,
and he was digging it and laughing to it.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
And it was like super loud in the car. And
he didn't didn't engage me at all.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Wow, and certainly didn't care if I was listening to
his loud for language comedy.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
But that's care it all. Did you hammer him on
the the app? He had hammer him? Well, I was
going to ask that question, do you do that or not?
Does that hurt your rating?

Speaker 6 (13:12):
I don't think they can see your rating until after
they've done the rating for you of you as a ride.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, do you know that if I read that the
other day?

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Is that the way that works? Because I've always worried.
I've always kept my mouth shut because of that.

Speaker 8 (13:25):
Well, once you get out of the car and it
asks you for a rating, it's completely anonymous.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Okay, Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that that wasn't cool.
But even at the airport, I asked.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Somebody a question and I got a I got to
keep an help one of Chicago, like, I don't give
an s. What are you asking me for?

Speaker 2 (13:46):
As opposed to somebody being helpful.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah, yeah, wiscons so nice is not a myth and
and you could almost fit five Milwaukee's inside Chicago. I
mean it is a much much bigger city in metro area.
But yeah, it's it's definitely it's meaner. It's way meaner
than Milwaukee. It's also a hell of a great city
and really fun and interesting.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
But I can adjust to that.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
I've spent a lot of time in the Chicago and
New York and places like that. But for some reason,
I was just in my head it was convention and
I was in Milwaukee mode.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh yeah, no, this is this is a different situation,
right right, Yeah, I gotta be aggressive and grim.

Speaker 8 (14:25):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
I can be like just kind of meander and local
yogil Hey, everybody, how you doing. That's that's kind of
going to work, I will tell you.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
Looking at our social media, everyone is praying for both
of your safety.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
That so interesting.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
I've had a number of personal friends say, you guys,
be really careful. I've been reading all about this and that,
and if I wasn't hearing about it from the media,
it doesn't feel scary at all, Like, not in the least.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Yeah, now we'll go outside because I think the protesters
are like in that direction or which way did we
come in, I don't even remember, but they're gonna be
fair close by, so I'd like to see what it's like.
In Milwaukee, it was just nothing. I mean, if you
put your camera right in the middle of their march, man,
that looked like a big, angry march. If you stood
outside it, it looked like five dozen dips's who really

(15:16):
ought to get a job at a you know, a
new perspective on life.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
It was just silly.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
I haven't seen anything protest wise now. The local violence
is the same. I got shot twice on the way today, right,
but that's just part of being in Chicago.

Speaker 8 (15:31):
We talked about this for a second off the air,
but I'm wondering if they're allowing these protesters to be
closer because there's more people that agree with them at
the DNC rather than if you are NC boy, they
have a.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Real vested interest in not having this thing disrupted at all.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I don't know, that's a tough.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Calculation for them, right, There's there's something of that, Katie,
although I don't think it does them any good if
real chaos breaks out, because Trump's plea that he will
restore lawn or is a potent one.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean, that's gonna work. And so if he can
portray them. Look at these.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Radicals, they can't even control their own party. I mean
it's just you know, a poop show. Yeah, that would
that would do them no good.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
But we'll see.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Yeah, it's it's again outside the perimeter of things get
crazy or some Antifa type person decides they want the
publicity of assaulting a convention goer, a member of the
media or something.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I suppose they can happen, but like.

Speaker 6 (16:25):
In the immediate vicinity, it is the safest place on earth.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yeah, in terms of the goal of disrupting the convention.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
And I don't know how you would pull that off,
I would say, And.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
I don't know to what extent they are organized, although
over the years Antifa has been shockingly organized.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
You know, the way a palette of bricks just shows.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Up, right, and that whole thing. The claim that this
is not some organized group. Oh no, they know exactly
what they're doing. They are affiliated with a bunch of
international radical Marxist organizations, So.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
That if that's true, I would assume that they've picked
a day in a time to have it all happen
at once, because that's your only chance of really disrupting.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Things, the big noise. Yeah, I would think.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
So, And I hope that's after I'm back at the
hotel and into my third pizza of the week, and
it's only day two.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Kamala Harris was given one important job as vice president,
monitor and control our southern border. How did she do?
Did she take the job seriously? Did she do all
she could to protect American citizens from an invasion? Did
she do anything at all?

Speaker 4 (17:37):
You haven't been to the bart and I haven't been
to Europe, and I don't understand the point that you
make it.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Here's her grim scorecard. Murders, rapes, attacks on children, A
twelve year old girl in Texas, a mother of five
in Maryland, a nursing student in Georgia, all savagely murdered
by those Biden and Harris led into our country unlawfully.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We have a secure border.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Kamala Harris was and is a complete failure at her job.
Now she's asking us for a promotion. Who in their
right mind would give it to her. Restoration Pack is
responsible for the content of this advertising.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
So apparently that's an ad that is going to run
a lot this week from the Republican Party anywhere they
can run it to try to counter program the DNC,
which is going on in Chicago, and that's where we are.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
Yeah, the the DNC crowd, I'm going to give them
in the edge for being fitter. Oh in the RNC crowd,
younger and fitter, younger and fitter and better addressed. Well,
there's almost can you see a single person here that
has on Oh well, this is mostly median politicians.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, so that's not fair.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
I was going to say anybody has a rock and red,
white and blue stuff now, although some of the media
guys did at the RC anyway. Yeah, so Kamala is
going to get hammered by that ad and others. There are,
you know, many weeks to go before the election, plenty
of time to turn the thing around. It would help,
certainly if the Republican candidate would do his part. But

(19:15):
this story came out today or over the weekend. Tim Walls,
the vice presidential candidate from Minnesota, traveled to China, honeymooned
in China with his wife. You could say that's an
exotic land. It sounds like a great trip. Although he
was a fan of China, spent a fair amount of
time there, was fetted by the Chinese, worked there, taught

(19:38):
there for a bit. Then he came back to the
US and was teaching social studies.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
I'll give him a pass on the honeymoon in China
if I didn't know this other stuff. It's not the
same as Bernie going to the Soviet Union, right, because
it wasn't that long ago. The China was just, you know,
it's just it was kind of a benign country. I
think most people's minds it wasn't.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
That, or at the very least it was coming rapidly
toward westernization and democratization. But anyway, so then in the
early nineties, Tim Walls is teaching social studies and according
to a newspaper article that came out at the time,
talking about him and his experiences in China and his
students doing a pen pal thing with some Chinese students.

(20:24):
He absolutely extolled life under Chinese communism, telling his students
that it is a system in which everyone shares. Let's see.
So there, I'm going to go to the actual article.
I like that we sported.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
He told us students.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
The nation is governed by communism. Quote, it means that
everyone is the same and everyone shares.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Anybody who describes communism in general as a system where
everyone shares, as opposed to the greatest horror of the
twentieth century that killed more than all of.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
The wars together.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Right, Yeah, and then especially when you're talking about China
in particular, and he went on his enthusiasm, continued, the
doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese
government and the place they work for provide housing and
about thirty pounds of rice per month.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
They get food and housing.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
Then he goes into the one child policy a little bit,
explaining that their population grew so large they had to
do it, essentially to his kiss, So, yeah, that's got
to leave a market, absolutely must leave a mark.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
He portrayed. It has.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
The population got so large, so the only thing you
can do is have the government decide how many kids.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Are going to have right exactly, no, exactly, And the
doctor makes the same as the construction worker.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Everyone shares and everyone is equal.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
You know. That is if he were sixteen years old,
i'd say, son, you need to sit down, we need
to talk. He was an adult. He was teaching the class.
That is obscene. Oh, by the way, just as an aside,
I decided I forgot the book I was going to bring,
and I decided I.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Needed to reread Animal Farm, and that new book.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
Biden's a baby MoMA that's right at the London what's
their name?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Doesn't matter?

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
I reread Animal Farm on the flight cool and then
I'm going to launch back into nineteen eighty four. But
it was I was reminded a of its brilliance and
b that it doesn't take a lot of interpret and
to interpret it. It is a communist system being installed,
and it immediately goes the way all communist systems do,

(22:40):
in which some animals are more equal than others. And
it's so rife with the details of how radical politics
and Marxism in general operate. And one one detail of
Animal Farm that I'd forgotten about is that the sheep,
who are very, very stupid, But we're taught to chant
four legs good, two legs bad.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
That Napoleon who ended up being this stalin of the
animal farm. He conveniently would signal them and they would
start chanting whenever his opponent's kind of got ahead of
steam rhetorically speaking.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
See, I've read it so long ago I either missed
that or don't remember.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
But that's really good.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
It's worth a reread because it deals with not only
the corruption of power and how those around power become
corrupted by it, but also the useful idiots, the true believers,
And it's such a brilliant description. Several years into animal
farm becoming animal farm run entirely by animals, it's miserable,

(23:40):
they're starving, it's cold, they're being overworked, but they cling
to this pride that well, it's a worker's paradise.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well it's an animal's paradise.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
It's the animals own the means of production, and we're
doing it for ourselves, so it's okay. And they're exploited
more and more cruelly by their overlords, to the point
that when the pigs form an alliance with the people,
in violation of everything they'd claimed that people come and say,
oh my god, we feed our animals way more than
this and we work them way less than this.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Well, this is a great example of what you can
get away with.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
And it's just it's such a stunning takedown of communism.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I wish Tim Walls had read it. He might have
changed his mind.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
It sure wasn't a system where everyone was equal and
everyone shares.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
How So, why I come down business? I can figure
this out. He's sixty years old. What year did he
do that? Ninety two? Ninety two? Leave?

Speaker 6 (24:36):
The quotes are from ninety one ninety one, late ninety.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
One, so a little over thirty years ago. So he's
in his late twenties.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, so he'll probably lean on youth.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
I guess he is at thirty year old man essentially
and a teacher. You come on, you're a social studies teacher,
and you're unaware of the horrors of communism.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Does it? Because that's a true statement.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Communism kill more people in the twentieth century than any
of the wars did, even with World War One and
World War Two and the phtenomen and everything that went on.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, vietnamals about communists, But how would he respond to that, dude,
don't what do you?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
In?

Speaker 8 (25:14):
What?

Speaker 5 (25:14):
In what sense is communism a system where everyone shares
equally and not just a road to death of millions
and millions of people?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
How would he respond to that brutality and starvation? Yeah?
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
Remember that one person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
He is a true believer unless he changed his tone
over the years.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I think he. I absolutely think he is.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
How did Kamala Harris, in an attempt to wool over
the nation, choose somebody who praises communism as a running bank?

Speaker 6 (25:48):
I know? And then her first big economic proposal is
price controls, federal price controls, right, which remember the headline
in the Washington Post. If people are calling you a communist,
maybe don't suggest federal price controls.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Well, this is.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Clearly the angle that Republicans need to go with.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
They're freaking communists.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yes, yeah, Well, I think Tim Walls would probably say,
and this is a classic of socialists. It's so worn out. No,
they didn't do it right. It's a great system. They
screwed it up. We can get it right. Wow, the
old old story. I'm sure that doesn't work on people.
That is troubling. I mean, that's highly troubling. It works
on young people a lot, Yeah, it is, And I

(26:30):
hope this gets the attention it deserves. It's in the
Free Beacon, which is a great conservative.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
What do you think of that suit? Character? You like that?
I do? Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
The only problem with a suit like that very very
very plaid, I mean, you know, not just like very
bright loud. It's a cool looking suit, but you can't
wear it a lot, right, Yeah, you got to have
a closet full of suits like that.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
You can't wear that one every day. Yeah. I've been
tempted by the louds suit more than once.

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Hey, as the woman on the show, do it the
loud suit? Oh yeah, then you both look great in
loud suits.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I like the loud It's just again, you got to
have a several of them, you.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
Know, Katie, you might be shocked given my normally slovenly appearance,
but when I play golf on a golf course, I
put together outfits, I mean carefully, like the shirt and
the shorts. I've got twenty pairs of shorts of different
every color of the rainbow.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I want selfies.

Speaker 6 (27:33):
Then I'll pick out the perfect shirt to go with
the shorts. Make sure the belts and the shoes and
the hat are rocking. I'll go out and play crappy golf,
but I look doing it.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
You two are the two sharpest guys dressed in radio.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
First of all, that's like being the world's smartest horse.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
So thanking out three with my hoof. Thanks for that compliment.
All right, I call it well the world's tallest midget.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
We are live in Chicago, more all the way, stay.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
Here, Armstrong, Hey Michael, I I space down.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Can you play clip number two for us?

Speaker 5 (28:17):
They got various contradictory messages about why surgery was postponed,
and ultimately Emory told them that they had lost and
misplaced a part of his skull.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
It's mind blowing, literally.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
So this guy was diagnosed with a intra cerebral hemorrhage
or a brain bleed, and they removed a portion of
his skull then misplaced part of it, which is you know,
you go to the hospital, you want to walk out
with your whole skull most of it will not do.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That is unreal. Yeah, it is. I found coffee. I
see that. How'd you do that?

Speaker 5 (28:54):
It's clear on the other side of the building apparently
had been there the whole time.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's old and like us, it's it's not very hot either.
Can you go back into uh it's old, cold and bitter. Yeah,
Jack's wedding.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
I was going a long way and I'm in dress shoes.
That's a long clear on the other side of the building.
It's a full, like two and a half minute walk, but.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I remember that for long.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
There's eight minutes left of the show and you just
got coffee, yes, And I have screaming headache because I'm
a coffee addict.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
You can have mine too, because I was going to
take a nap.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
But anyway, So it'll be interesting to see as the
speech of fining begins.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
And the that was a little funny noise, Sorry about that.
That was what coffee on my microphone.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Sounded like it's something went wrong with your vest, sectimy
or something. It'll be interesting to see what the seams
are that emerged, because they're they're definitely going to have
a game plan. And I wonder where, like environmentalism is.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Going to affect ry McCall if that's one of the
most powerful people in the history of the Democrats. Oh
our DNC party chair forever then ran for governor in Virginia.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh right, right, right, right right, yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
Still a huge power broker. He's the guy that is
featured at the very beginning of this town. Oh right,
the example of the cynical Rushington machine thing.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
Right. They in front of the cameras, they fight like
cats and dogs, and then the cameras turn off, and
the Republicans and Democrats slap each other's backs and laugh,
and I will he the guy the famous line from
the book, which I've quoted so many times. They don't
get the joke might be, what's the joke that we're
all patriots?

Speaker 5 (30:37):
If there's practically anybody in America, if I could talk
to that, they would be completely honest with me.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
I would want to talk to him.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
He understands how the whole thing works as well as anybody.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
He plays by the rules of the you know when
in Rome.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Right, Like I've said many times, I would like to ask,
and he's the perfect guy. How much of your efforts
are directed towards people or people who have no idea
what they're talking about?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, just completely uninformed voters hurting sheep to get back.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
To or well, how much of your time is inducing
and or frightening sheep to run in one direction or another?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
What I would like to know is that when you've
been doing it as long as him, and you're at
the level as he is, playing by those rules, do
you have anything you want to like do with powers?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Whoops? Do we everybody dump that? Everybody dump that? I apologize?
All right, do we have a dump button? It was
dump it. I used to have to work.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
Jack who is just struggling with his caffeine addiction. It's
a disease, it's a disability.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Has said a naughty word anyway.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
So yeah, does does a guy like Terry mccolloughs have
any actual stances?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
No, would be my you think so?

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Guess if you're in politics long enough, you just give
up on the idea that it's got anything to do.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
With Well, I think there are two ways of being
really successful politics, being a really effective, eloquent crusader for
actual beliefs or being a complete cynical operator.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Well, and if you're that first one, you have to
get a little bit lucky and ride a wave of
some movement.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
Well, yeah, like Barack Obama actually wanted socialized medicine and
a much bigger role in all of our lives for
the federal government, and he succeeded to a large extent.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
He meant it.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Jack and Joe just had a very robust and productive
conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important issues
together in this moment in time and now together in
this moment, they will have final thoughts with Armstrong and Getty.
This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime, and

(32:52):
it is time to share the final thoughts they have
been thinking, and that time is every.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Day shadow like Kamala Harris. But I gotta tell you this,
she is gonna kill it Thursday night. She's gonna kill
it because she's good at the teleprompter, whipped up, crowd, smiling,
comfortable thing.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
She's good at that.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
That will be your final thoughts, sir as I am
your host for final thoughts, Michaelangelo, what's your final thought?

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Well, I don't want to get emotional about this, but Jack,
you had a pizza at three thirty, another one at
seven thirty, and then a chocolate milkshake.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
That may be the best day of eating I've ever heard.
And I actually had a tear going down my eye.
It was pretty awesome. A hero.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Katie Green are esteemed the Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
It's krass and it's going to counter jack propping up Kamala.
But this is the only promotion she's ever gotten by
a guy pulling out.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Wow, that was very, very very crass. Right hurts Justicemidge,
but it's very crass. Yeah. I would.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
I would say if you are a conservative leaning hewan,
you might see the pageantry in the sharing in the speech,
off eyeing and all and think.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Oh no, she's a juggernaut.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Four or five weeks ago, it seemed like Trump would
win fifty three states. I mean that there was a
fever pitch of optimism and excitement.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
This is gone. Yeah, and it's not old.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Joe Biden, get out. Give it two weeks. We'll have
a brand new conversation.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
If I can ever get her to sit down for
an interview, She's going to be a disaster, which is
what I'm looking forward to. I'm strong in Getty wrapping up,
but other gruelly, there's perty Sanders.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Oh my god, but Berty Sanders is right in front
of us. This is the most exciting thing that they
happen on the does not have his mittens unimittened. Damn it,
now that was exciting. Did you see, Berty Sanderson? Where
are we going? Where are you taking me? I'm strong
and getty? Oh yeah, what do you? Honk Kong? Don't

(34:57):
care if I never get back.

Speaker 9 (35:01):
What they're gonna say now, but resist we much, we must,
and we will much about that be committed.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
And on that possibly nightmare inducing note, it's all very
much armstrong and Getty
