Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Getty Armstrong and
Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. So the house from
(00:26):
the movie Breaking Bad, they're in Albuquerque? Is that where
I was? I think so New Mexico. Yeah, it and
some other property from Breaking Bad just sold and one
of the owners said it was a tourist nightmare living
in that house. It's just if you remember the house
they lived in it was just a very average American
seventies suburban looking house. Oh yeah, yeah, nothing special about
(00:51):
it at all. But people were going to Albuquerque and
figuring out the location and then driving by it and saying, wow,
it looks just like in the show. I get puzn't
for pictures. I'm sure, Oh you're right what it would be.
That's what it'd be. And probably a certain number of
people like even going up to the door.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, yeah, And if it's one out of one hundred,
that's way way way too many, because I'll bet there's
three hundred a day, or there probably was right after
this series was on. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't buy that house,
forget it. I would buy a murder house, though murder
most fouls.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Or had this conversation with somebody out in the
newsroom the other day, would you buy a house if
you had heard that it is habited by ghosts? I said,
I absolutely would, because I did not believe in ghosts,
so I would have no concerns whatsoever if I can
get it at a discount. I have not even the
slightest belief in ghosts. And I even if I were
(01:44):
laying in bed dark in the night and I heard creaking,
I would not think it's a ghost, and you'd be wrong.
What if I heard that? Prized? I have got a
little piece of philosophy for you coming up after Clips
of the Week that I came across the other day
from the great philosopher Seneca, and I think is kind
of interesting. Maybe we can discuss.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Excellent first though, it's the Friday tradition, a very special
Halloween twist. It's if I'm looking back at the week
there was, it's wait a minute, oh, it's still cow
Crypts of the Week.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's creepy.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And crally and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So spoo.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's crips a week.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Against coming together and queens in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And then we're going to watch it and see to
take back the White House.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
When the boot of the MIPD is on your neck,
it's been laced by the ideas.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
But also you know, it was also about paying the
bills man, and it was just like hustling.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I've never listened to polls.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm transcendigitals.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Are you sis American? I woke up every.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Day as a as a black woman who is queer.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
But if you are a one or two X, you
are small fat, red to four X, you are mid fat,
five to six X, you are super fat.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You love coming to Costco with your wife. Oh zero
that farm by myself, she's over there.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Are saying this arms mote was sped away from a
shooting of a San Bernardino County sharance deputy.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Right now, looks like he's a boot.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's exciting what I was talking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
The Pentagon announcing the single deadliest day of strikes against
alleged drug smugglers.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
The fake news said they were fishermen, but they were
trend the air rock with thugs heading to the United
States with a boat full of drugs, A boat full
of drugs.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Vladimir Cruitin saying that they have successfully tested a nuclear
powered cruise missile.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
President called the meeting with she that lasted about two
hours quotes amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I would say the meeting was in twelve has Bola
is rearming, putting ceasefire with Israel at risk?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Or on that afterwards from our friends at BBDBP And
you say, hold on a second, somebody's trying to get
a hold of let me see what this is.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Then blue ey no gonads m disappointing. Climate is a
super important problem. We have to frame it in terms
of overall human wealthare.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Climate dumerism Gates helped create has fueled a mental health
crisis among young people, an urgent surge to find three
lab monkeys still on the loose. Here's your paints.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
On serves, please you savage.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So one of the clips in there was about Russia's
new super weapon that they announced last weekend. I had
missed this. He announced two super weapons. They said they
tested some missile that cannot be shot down, impossible, and
they can deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere on the planet
without anybody being able to stop it. He also announced
the new Poseidon.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Weapon.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It makes tsunamis.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh yeah, I saw a little cartoon about that on
the news line.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They exploded underwater and can cause a tsunami with how
many feet of a lot of water? They claimed that
they could, you know, like one hundred feet of water.
It will come ashore. And we all know tsunamis are
not good for you. No, that's inconvenient. The Poseidon is
one of Russia's six nuclear weapon projects, called super weapons
(05:58):
by experts, unveiled before the Vision of Ukraine and recently
redesigned in some cases. So I suppose that's got something
to do. Why with why Trump announced yesterday morning we're
going to restart nuclear tests.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I guess you're rattling your saber. Listen to this, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like you. I
don't like it. Speaking of Kamala Harris, we weren't She
just said she thinks we should lower the voting age
to sixteen. We've got some Kamala Harris clips coming up
for you a little bit. Her talking about her book, right,
lowering the voting age to sixteen?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeh, unintentionally hilarious book tour. Yeah, that's the world's worst idea.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It is the world's worst idea. What's the chance of
it happening? Didn't they do it in Great Britain? Uh,
the lefties are pushing hard to do it. I'm not
sure where it stands.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And it's always lefties because it really helps to be
a child to fall for the schemes of the left
when you've failed every time they've been implemented.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And you almost by definition haven't worked to pay taxes yet,
which is a fair amount what pushes people right word
throughout their lives. Yeah, I'm going to work every day
in paying taxes. So why am I giving a big
chunk of my money to that lazy bastard over there?
You don't think that when you're sixteen, you think everybody
should have everything? Because I'm an idiot, right, well said
(07:25):
came across this the other day. I heard somebody say
something dis similar to this. This is from Seneca. He's
one of your Greek philosophers, Roman philosopher. Whichever, we suffer
more in imagination than in reality. We suffer more in
imagination than in reality. And I heard somebody say the
other day that whatever bad thing happens, the story we
(07:49):
tell ourselves about it is usually far worse than the
actual thing itself, and I thought, I've probably done that
a few times in my life. Maybe that's just about
attitude or fear. Fear creeps in and you start to
go with all kinds of different tentacles that could come
off this bad thing that happen.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Right or like I had that the cancer surgery thing,
minor thing, skin cancer thing, and I was worrying about
it and how painful uncomfortable it might be. And finally
I got hold of my brain and made myself stop,
because Seneca might just be referring to the fact that
(08:30):
instead of suffering, you know, to some extent for fifteen minutes,
you're suffering for hours and hours because you're worrying about it. Interestingly,
it was a counting Crow's song that made the point
most clearly to me, the fabulous catchy tune Einstein on
the Beach. At the end, Adam Duritz says, and I'm
(08:52):
sure he didn't come up with this, but what you
fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway,
So don't stew get some sleep.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He'sier said than done, but a good idea.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh yeah, anything worth saying is easier said than done.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's why people say it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Uh right, Oh, that reminds me another great saying.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's just a saying.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But and I need a giant poster of this, and
to remind people of this all the time. Uncontroversial speech
needs no defense. If free speech doesn't apply to stuff
that makes people mad, it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That's the point. Getting back to your clap back against
my easier said than done, I think the problem with
easier said than done as it is, these sayings are
laid upon you as if, having merely heard it, you
now can just go ahead and enact. You are now empowered. Yes,
oh yeah, Now that I have that knowledge of that's
what I can do for the rest of my life. She'snizzle,
(09:59):
I almost wore it. I'm not worried anymore. Thank you
for that wisdom.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, it's uh yeah, no, I absolutely concede. Grasping that
idea is the beginning.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
In a lifelong practice. We will hear from Kamala Harris,
the Idgit and among other things on the way. Stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Just started picking them up and throwing them in like
it was a burn barrel on fire into the casket.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
He had one burning there and another one burning over there.
Then he kicked this coffin down and dragged the Bob
Ross skeleton into it, set Bob Ross on fire, then
began grabbing the little skeleton animals and throwing them in
there as well.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But we're very, very lucky because those bushes caught fire
and it's right by the fence, right by the house.
John literally came over with like a pot of water,
like a you know, like a like he make spaghetti
is like and dumped it out. Another one brought the
fire extinguisher, which is now in the casket.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What happened then, I'm afraid we're going to have to
devote the rest of the show and most of Monday
show to unpacking that clip. Some lunatic torched a family's
Halloween display in the middle of the night, which apparently
included a Bob Ross skeleton.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay, yes, Michael no I thought that's what made the
clip unique. Bob Ross who sets up Bob Ross for Halloween? Eh,
skeleton Bob Ross.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
He kicked this coffin down and dragged the bob Ross
skeleton into it, and began grabbing little skeleton animals and
throwing them in there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
All right, lunatic, Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Uh no, no word of why said lunatic did that
sort of thing. Oh, we have a skeleton in our family, Jack,
as you know, Candy the skeleton. He's been in the
family for years. And just as a joke, I put
one of my daughter Delaney's law school t shirts on
(11:55):
him and put his hands on a couple of thick books,
and I said, the picture with a caption he studied
too much because she works like a fiend. And she said,
not funny, that's literally my life right now. And so
I went on chat GPT and I created an image
of a skeleton standing in front of a mansion with
(12:15):
an expensive car in the driveway, and it gave me
a great one, and I captured that one. But in
a few short years, right bullied her spirit a good time.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a good one. We have a couple skeleton in
the family. And the one of them I have laying
underneath my son's truck as if it had been run over.
That's the joke. Here's somebody you got charming. I live
in the sort of neighborhood where if somebody gets run
over by a car, we just leave the body there
until it decomposes completely. That's the joke. Happy Halloween, enjoy
(12:47):
a dandy bar.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
This is actually semi scary, although I am delighted that
at least some people are saying this out loud. Several
leaders of prominent universities a couple of days ago, at
a meeting I hadn't heard about, said they believe the
anti is and anti Semitic demonstrations that broke out on
campuses across the United States during the War against Tomas
were not organic, Instead, telling a panel audience they believe
(13:11):
quote organized networks and even foreign governments may have driven
the unrest.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Organic. It's an interesting term because every protest is planned
by somebody, and often the people at the top are
not people you would like enjoy no matter what the
protest is. Oh yeah, but when it's a foreign country
that is an enemy of the United States, obviously it's
a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And I'm not letting the hateful little darlings of America's
campuses off the hook. Yeah they follow their responsibility, but
yeah they went along with it. But leaders of notable
universities had not offered many thoughts on the connections between
the campus protests and outside groups before the discussion on
combating anti Semitism that happened on Monday. During the events,
(13:53):
Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Cyberud brought up Iran in particular, quote,
believe they meaning the demonstrations were encouraged by Iran. It
did not have the involvement of very many, if any,
of our own students. Vanderbilt University Chancellor Daniel Dermir agreed,
saying the anti Israel movement on his campus seems to
(14:14):
have been coordinated by outside forces and followed a playbook
that was imported from other universities. And I quote, there
was not a large group, maybe thirty plus students or something,
but they were using the playbook that they had seen
at Columbia and other places. It was the same messaging.
So it's more than a social contagion. I think they're
organized networks as well.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Why wouldn't you do that if you're Iran. We've done
that to other countries. Sure, usually usually like empowering people
who are democracy pro democracy protesters.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And I had forgotten this, but now that I'm reminded
of it, it's ringing a bell. Three Israelis who had
been held captive in Gaza alleged in a May lawsuit
that one of their Hamas captors told them that quote
Hamas in Gaza was co ordinate its allies, including its
allies in the media and on college campuses, to foment
hatred against Israel and Jews.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That would surprise me, not in the least.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, And they go on a little
bit more with that. Uh well, that'd be a scandal.
You can nail that down. Yeah, yeah, you know. That
reminds me. I had a couple of articles I never
got to that were all about how distorted the news
out of Gaza is because nobody dares report critically on
(15:32):
Hamas because you get killed. And they brought up one
correspondent who was used by I almost said al Qaeda,
al Jazeera, Freudian slip who filed was it seventy four
stories and not a single one of them was about Hamas.
(15:54):
Every single one was about the evil Jews. Not a
single one critical of hamasit or anything. They did not
even like they miscalculated when they or.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, well, I keep saying, if I hear one negative
ish story, negative adjacent story on NPR about Hamas, it'll
be the first one.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding. So you know, people ought to
be more diligent in finding independent sources of information or
broader palette. But you know, people think they're well informed
because they get a lot of news from the New
York Times and NPR, and they're they're brutally ill informed.
But it's only partly their fault, I guess.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So the delusional Kamala Harris is still on her book tour,
trying to sell books, and she was on John Stewart's
podcast the other day and said something that shocked him. Well,
have delational numbskull, Yeah, Comras. Sometimes people are delusional because
they're dumb. That might be her problem, that she's dumb.
Joe and I don't believe in silent letters.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Glad you've joined me in my stance fight against silence letters.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So we've got that coming up. Stay tuned. If you
missed the segment, get the podcast arms Strong and Geddy
on demand. That's what you search for and subscribe to
as he it automatically shows up in your feet every day.
Armstrong in Geddy on.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Demand, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
My son wants to watch scary movies tonight, my thirteen
year old. He isn't gonna go trick or treading. He
thinks he's it's for little kids, and he's not gonna
do that. We're gonna stay and watch scary movies. But
I want to watch the World Series so bad, so
I don't know how I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So tell him son, this man is throwing a hard
the ball let the other man that's one hundred miles
browery could kill.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Him before every pitch. I'll record it and I'll watch
it later, but I gotta make sure my phone or
watch doesn't ding and say Toronto has just won their
first World Series.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And Danni gotta go full radio sis I do. Speaking
of the media, a couple of things. Number One, we're
just alerted that an ex CBS producer has alleged that
the layoffs at CBS were race based.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's it. You know what, even lesbian, lifelong liberal hates
black people and women, and that's what her goal is.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know what, Hey, nobody even is hearing you. You
cried wolf so many times and so nakedly and dishonestly.
Not only do we not believe there's a wolf, I'm
beginning to doubt there are any wolves. You people, You're ridiculous.
Your moment is pasted.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Another media note, Kamala Harris has been doing her ill
advised train wreck of a book tour.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
One hundred and seven days. If I'd have just had
a couple of more days.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
In terms of ridiculousness, who do you think is winning
the race to be the most ridiculous?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
KJP or Kamala? I don't know, hard to beat? Yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So we're gonna play a headful of clips of an
interview Kamala did with an Australian news outlet. The first
clip is not the payoff, but it sets the tone
for what follows.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So we'll go ahead and get started.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Michael, wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him?
Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason
that you faced a nearly impossible task.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump
ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe,
misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe
that there are a fair number of people that voted
for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them
(19:45):
that his first priority on day one is going to
be to bring down prices and he didn't. And you
combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was that
play in terms of massive amounts of miss distant from it?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
All?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Right, you can see where this is going, seeing as
how she didn't even come close to answering the question.
I've always it's funny did these these callbacks because I
hadn't heard her in a while. That tone she takes
what happened was I'm about to lay a truth bomb
on you. That's just going to knock you out of
your shoes, and then she never does.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And the other advantage the Aussie Gale has is that
she has no awe for the second in command of
the American government. Just as if I was interviewing the
Vice Premiere or whatever the position would be of Australia,
I wouldn't give a damn. It'd be like, no, I'm
asking you the questions I want to ask. I've boxed kangaroos.
Do you think I'm scared of you?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Criikey. It rolls on now.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I'm forgivenn I want to calendar in terms of yes o'clock.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
I want to interrupt you, because that is a world
class pivot. But it is not the question that I
asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize
his own frailty and what that did to you. The
question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to
criticize the former president.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
In what regard? Please?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Well, just in terms of that question, So you what exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Would you like to ask?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Be more specific if you don't mind.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his
own frailties in that position that put you in the
position that made it almost impossible to win that race.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
He was not frail as president of the United States, but.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
He had frailties. We all saw the debate.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to
be president of the United States, and I have never
doubted that he had the capacity to be president of
the United States. If you want to talk about whether
he had the ability to endure what a race or
president of the United States would require in that political
(21:52):
environment in twenty twenty four. As I've said in the book,
I had concern.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, she goes with that angle with John Stewart. What're
you going to play the clip? It a little bit.
I love the first of all, I love the what
go ahead, ask your specific question. I have asked a
specific question, very specific, several times. Now you're not answering it.
But she and then then when she goes into that
tone of the how dare you question? His his competent
(22:19):
sort of tone that she always has.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
How does she think that's working on anybody? Hilarious? It
didn't even work on Democrats. Prior to the debate, most
the majority of Democrats wanted him to not run. How
does she think at this point? I mean, this is
when did she do this interview? Anyway? Recently the report
came out Monday, that report we talked about earlier where
(22:44):
it talks about the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, his
chief of staff. They were all having conversations with Joe
Biden saying you shouldn't run again? Wow, and who does
she think this is landing?
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right, yeah, all right, let's roll on.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Is that I'm just wondering, is there a reason why
you won't go to that prolonged frailty question? When we
saw the debate, we saw the difficulty he had marshaling his.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Thoughts answered that question. I do not believe.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
I think it's just hard watching the debate to see
how there could not be a problem long term with
someone who can't marshal their thoughts. I'm not saying his
acuity wasn't present bat.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
In the book, and I also mentioned the context in
which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how I
talked about that in terms of what his travel schedule
had been, that what he had been enduring, in terms
of the timing of that debate. I can talk about
it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away from that,
So I wrote it in the book because I do
(23:45):
know it's a question people had.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh my god, she is something else well, utterly charisma
free and unwilling to answer any question about anything.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Does Joe Biden have pictures of her like whipping a
child or something.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Now, it's not that because she can't answer a question
about anything that has nothing to do with Joe Biden.
She just she It's Mark Halpurn's knock on her has
been from the beginning. She is the most cautious politician
I've ever met. He always says, she just is not.
She's gonna hedge on every question to leave herself wiggle
room because she's just incredibly scared of getting nailed down
(24:25):
on even an easy position.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
She's not bright enough to realize which ones are worth
saying and which ones aren't.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I guess because she has no confidence, she probably has
one no like actual ideology positions, and then she has
no confidence to back it up if anybody questions her
any further. Remember what were we voting on on election day?
Also in California the whole do we want to start
putting criminals back in jail again? When like eighty percent
of Californians agreed we shouldn't have passed overwhelmingly, and she
(24:54):
wouldn't take a stance on it. I don't think of her.
There's your Democrats un face. Yes, it passed in a blue,
blue state on a day when everybody was turning out
to vote for her. She wouldn't come out and say,
she said, I don't think it'd be proper for me
to weigh on this.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What are you talking about? Because so she's just too cautious. Yeah, yeah,
we're gonna do the Jon Stewart style.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, so I don't know what all this explains. Number
forty five, But whatever is not in there I will
fill in.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Oh right, yeah, no, I'm not talking about confidence at all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Now.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I believe he was fully competent to serve?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Are you really?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I did?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That surprises me?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Actually no, I do.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
But there's a distinction to be made between running for
president and being a president.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Okay, that's when she gets into the thing and that
she was referencing with the Australian interviewer. She says this
in the book, and then she says this anytime anybody
brings it up, that running for president is like running
a marathon while people are throwing tomatoes at you. It's
very difficult. Things are coming at you very fast from
(26:02):
many directions. It's exhausting. And John Stewart's reply is, and
it's a good one, is Yeah, being president is like
running a marathon with people throwing tomatoes at you and
lots of things coming at you really fast. And you're
saying you think he was able to do that? Yes, Yes,
I do. I think he was up to the job.
I mean, that's insane. It is you. You can't get
(26:25):
away with any of this, but at least you got
some tiny bit of cover to say he was okay
being president at that time. Yeah, not a lot. But
maybe I'll take your word for it that maybe you
thought he was up to the but claiming he could
be president for another four years, you're into insaneville.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well right, yeah, and that whole dodge that running for
president is way harder than being president.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Number one, it's it's hard.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Maybe it's hard in a different way, but uh, number one,
being president is really really, really hard. So oh, I'm
not sure that matters, even if it's true. And secondly,
the guy won in twenty twenty by hiding in his basement.
He hardly campaigned at all, and he didn't have the
power of the incumbency, so he could have run a
(27:15):
you know, a low key doing video address from the
White House. I'm so busy, I'm sorry, I can't be
there in person type campaign.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's this ridiculous. I can't believe John Stuart's forceful reply
was John Stuart, who's more of a mainstream Democrat. You
think he'd be more like Bill Maher and say you're nuts,
you're nuts. That's a ridiculous thing to say that he
was capable of being president. We could all see that
he wasn't. Poles showed that Democrats, and majority of Democrats
(27:43):
didn't think he was capable of being president before the debate,
So why are you continuing to go around making this claim?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Who's that for?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Who sits there awestruck with respect for Kamala Harrison and
says I, So I must say, I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What a tepid response to a blatant either lie or
you're a complete moron. And I'm not exactly sure which
it is. That other excuse she uses all the time
of I've explained in the book about how his travel
schedule is very difficult. He'd flown on al Acronsol World
and he had and then much and he had a cold. Okay, well,
guess what, when you're president, you're gonna have a very
busy schedule also, and every now and then you're gonna
(28:18):
get a cold. So if China attacks Taiwan, we have
to say hold off on your attacking Taiwan. The presidents
have a cold. And he just got back from Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
He's very tired, right, Yeah, it's just ridiculous now that
in John's defense, I don't know what the follow up
was because that was a very short clip that was
apparently an interview conducted at a rave I don't know
why I had disco music in the background, but yeah,
what a joke. And then she goes to audiences and
or does a live address and the MC asks and
(28:48):
now are you thinking about running? And she says, I've
said I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yet in the crowd. Yeay, what if you people not gotten?
I don't know if it's unfortunate she's not going to
actually be able to run, even if she plans to,
because I'd like it to run, because I think it'd
be fun. She would humiliate herself even more. There's going
to be zero dollars because smart people with lots of
money who donate to candidates, they're here in this crap
(29:15):
and when they hear her say to John Stewart, yeah,
I think he could have run. He could have been
president for four more years. Okay, I'm not giving you
any damn money. Well, it is what it is because
he is hute.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He is. That's why it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Because at some point, Oh, I want to mention this.
Josh Shapiro laid a little groundwork a couple of days
ago around the whole You know, I was never around
Joe Biden, So I didn't see the things other people saw,
laying a little groundwork for going after Kamala Harris or
whoever else might run that was in the administration for saying,
(29:48):
this person who knew what Joe Biden was like allowed
us to lose to Donald Trump by keeping it a secret.
He's going to do that next.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
He'll start making vague references to well, I haven't turned
Pennsylvania into a crap hole full of junkies. So anyway,
I'm proud of the work you're done here, right, and
Gaviel flinch visibly.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh boy, that's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, yeah,
I am. I am stunned by the fact that she's
gonna continue to claim that he was okay to be
president for four more years. He wasn't claim he wasn't
capable at the time, right, Yeah, what is going on there?
(30:34):
She's a half flip, is it? I wonder if it's
because if she gives an inch on that, Yeah, this
is it. Probably if she gives even an inch. Oh,
you don't think he was capable for four more years?
At what point did you realize the guy running for
president couldn't be president for four more years and why
didn't you say anything. That's the next question.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And that's a Difficultviana liked any after and then I'll
be the president.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's a pretty voice. Are you busy lately? Later? Lately
they've been good. I said late. That was a good
punchline has written. Yeah, flat bat, that voice is charming.
You practically have me in bed already. Okay, we won't
(31:25):
finish strong next time. The scary scary music we've been
playing the entire day. That is the theme of Halloween,
being scared.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Ah who so.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh this is not scary at all. It is kind
of fun and inspiring. Apparently there's some sort of golf
event and uh and and the team was doing badly,
including somebody named Kwan apparently, and none other than coach
John Gruden Chucky himself on Halloween gave the fellows a
pep talk.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We need some.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Falling down there are this guy? Do you think where's
our guy?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Kwanta?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And get him out here?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
There is right there.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Come on here, let me quiet, Let's bring quantit quiet.
Speaker 10 (32:11):
That will come on up here.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Coach here, come on, I think we've got to get
it out of our system here. Yes, yeah, yeah, here's
two things we can do.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
We can be pissed off, right, we can blame quant
we can blame ourselves.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
We can do.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Whatever we want, or we can roll apart confisted pound
a rock.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Are we clear on that we've got the best player
right right now? You got this dig this hole.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
You're gonna dig this out of.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Every guy here, though, quick mention about our problems.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Start rolling the rock.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Put the ball in the hole.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Are we clear on that?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Let's control what we can controls. Hurry, tell me you guys.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I came a long way to watch you guys play,
and he slept in, and the hell you.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Guys slept in?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Also, how to pick up your game?
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Let's go just.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Here, we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We're gonna go get their ass. We're gonna do quand
Q three what three? Saw that?
Speaker 3 (33:19):
That's beautiful?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So a bunch of guys playing golf, probably having a
few beers, they need a little pick me up, and
they see a legendary fiery football coach. Can you give
him some speech? That's awesome? Oh that's so good, and
and that whole I just I loved a lot of that. Yeah,
I like that.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know, Kwan was the goat and he knew it,
and he was down, and the guys were resenting them.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And that's good coaching. Not only you guys gotta worry
about your thing, but Kwan's.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Gonna lead us back.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
And because you can't have a guy stay down. I
save my thought on that from my final thought.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh and I didn't get to what I really wanted
to talk about college football wise, we'll do it on Monday.
Really interesting. I promise you no final thoughts with Armstrong
and get.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That was frightening. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
To wrap up the day. There is Michael Aangelo or
technical director Michael Well.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
I'll be doing my usual Halloween trick or treating.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I give out candy.
Speaker 10 (34:25):
But what I do is I hold a bag, blindfold
the children. They either get a candy bar or a Bible,
so fifty fifty shot. They're either to get educated with
the Lord or a chocolate bar.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Chocolate bar.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's interesting, Katie Green, Aristeen Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Last year I complained that Drew bought crap candy.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
So this year I bought the candy, and now I'm
complaining because I'm eating it all Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, as of this afternoon, I'll have a lot of
candy in the house. And well, what's the over under
on how many candy bars I eat?
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Jack?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Final thought, Yeah, I like what John Gruden said. Long
remember that it with my kids. We can just keep
complaining and bitching here, or we could ball up our
fists and pound on a rock, which is just as effective. Right,
that's good stuff. Then you gotta roll the rock right
all right, I'm rolling it anyway? Where do you want it?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
My final thought.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Isn't Halloween like a Catholic co opting of a Druid holiday?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Given candidity undead? What's so hard to understand? All hallows? Eve?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I like the Mexican Day of the Dead, where you
think about the folks you've lost and how much you love.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Them still in that stuff. I like that idea. We
ought to have something like that in our society. Now
we dress up like Marvel and Disney characters and eat candy. Now,
what are you gonna do? Armstrong and Geeddy wrapping up
out of they're grueling four hour work? There so many people,
thanks so little time. Go to Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh Man, the A and G swag store has been restocked.
The starve the lazy T shirts and hoodies are in.
Wear them proudly. How much have people ask you what
do you mean by that? Am I start wearing this
mustache all the time. It's really growing on me. I
like it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
We will see on Monday. God bless America. This concludes
this year's Halloween show.
Speaker 11 (36:09):
We hope you had as much fun watching our show
as the Koreans did animate in it. But there's one
group for whom every day is Halloween. I'm talking about
adulta literates. For them, trying to read the morning newspaper
is more terrifying than any goblin, ghoul, spook, or spirit
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Getty Armstrong and
Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty. So the house from
(00:26):
the movie Breaking Bad, they're in Albuquerque? Is that where
I was? I think so New Mexico. Yeah, it and
some other property from Breaking Bad just sold and one
of the owners said it was a tourist nightmare living
in that house. It's just if you remember the house
they lived in it was just a very average American
seventies suburban looking house. Oh yeah, yeah, nothing special about
(00:51):
it at all. But people were going to Albuquerque and
figuring out the location and then driving by it and saying, wow,
it looks just like in the show. I get puzn't
for pictures. I'm sure, Oh you're right what it would be.
That's what it'd be. And probably a certain number of
people like even going up to the door.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, yeah, And if it's one out of one hundred,
that's way way way too many, because I'll bet there's
three hundred a day, or there probably was right after
this series was on. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't buy that house,
forget it. I would buy a murder house, though murder
most fouls.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Or had this conversation with somebody out in the
newsroom the other day, would you buy a house if
you had heard that it is habited by ghosts? I said,
I absolutely would, because I did not believe in ghosts,
so I would have no concerns whatsoever if I can
get it at a discount. I have not even the
slightest belief in ghosts. And I even if I were
(01:44):
laying in bed dark in the night and I heard creaking,
I would not think it's a ghost, and you'd be wrong.
What if I heard that? Prized? I have got a
little piece of philosophy for you coming up after Clips
of the Week that I came across the other day
from the great philosopher Seneca, and I think is kind
of interesting. Maybe we can discuss.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Excellent first though, it's the Friday tradition, a very special
Halloween twist. It's if I'm looking back at the week
there was, it's wait a minute, oh, it's still cow
Crypts of the Week.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's creepy.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And crally and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So spoo.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's crips a week.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Against coming together and queens in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And then we're going to watch it and see to
take back the White House.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
When the boot of the MIPD is on your neck,
it's been laced by the ideas.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
But also you know, it was also about paying the
bills man, and it was just like hustling.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I've never listened to polls.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm transcendigitals.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Are you sis American? I woke up every.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Day as a as a black woman who is queer.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
But if you are a one or two X, you
are small fat, red to four X, you are mid fat,
five to six X, you are super fat.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You love coming to Costco with your wife. Oh zero
that farm by myself, she's over there.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Are saying this arms mote was sped away from a
shooting of a San Bernardino County sharance deputy.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Right now, looks like he's a boot.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's exciting what I was talking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
The Pentagon announcing the single deadliest day of strikes against
alleged drug smugglers.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
The fake news said they were fishermen, but they were
trend the air rock with thugs heading to the United
States with a boat full of drugs, A boat full
of drugs.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Vladimir Cruitin saying that they have successfully tested a nuclear
powered cruise missile.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
President called the meeting with she that lasted about two
hours quotes amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I would say the meeting was in twelve has Bola
is rearming, putting ceasefire with Israel at risk?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Or on that afterwards from our friends at BBDBP And
you say, hold on a second, somebody's trying to get
a hold of let me see what this is.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Then blue ey no gonads m disappointing. Climate is a
super important problem. We have to frame it in terms
of overall human wealthare.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Climate dumerism Gates helped create has fueled a mental health
crisis among young people, an urgent surge to find three
lab monkeys still on the loose. Here's your paints.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
On serves, please you savage.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So one of the clips in there was about Russia's
new super weapon that they announced last weekend. I had
missed this. He announced two super weapons. They said they
tested some missile that cannot be shot down, impossible, and
they can deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere on the planet
without anybody being able to stop it. He also announced
the new Poseidon.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Weapon.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It makes tsunamis.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh yeah, I saw a little cartoon about that on
the news line.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They exploded underwater and can cause a tsunami with how
many feet of a lot of water? They claimed that
they could, you know, like one hundred feet of water.
It will come ashore. And we all know tsunamis are
not good for you. No, that's inconvenient. The Poseidon is
one of Russia's six nuclear weapon projects, called super weapons
(05:58):
by experts, unveiled before the Vision of Ukraine and recently
redesigned in some cases. So I suppose that's got something
to do. Why with why Trump announced yesterday morning we're
going to restart nuclear tests.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I guess you're rattling your saber. Listen to this, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like you. I
don't like it. Speaking of Kamala Harris, we weren't She
just said she thinks we should lower the voting age
to sixteen. We've got some Kamala Harris clips coming up
for you a little bit. Her talking about her book, right,
lowering the voting age to sixteen?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeh, unintentionally hilarious book tour. Yeah, that's the world's worst idea.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It is the world's worst idea. What's the chance of
it happening? Didn't they do it in Great Britain? Uh,
the lefties are pushing hard to do it. I'm not
sure where it stands.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And it's always lefties because it really helps to be
a child to fall for the schemes of the left
when you've failed every time they've been implemented.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And you almost by definition haven't worked to pay taxes yet,
which is a fair amount what pushes people right word
throughout their lives. Yeah, I'm going to work every day
in paying taxes. So why am I giving a big
chunk of my money to that lazy bastard over there?
You don't think that when you're sixteen, you think everybody
should have everything? Because I'm an idiot, right, well said
(07:25):
came across this the other day. I heard somebody say
something dis similar to this. This is from Seneca. He's
one of your Greek philosophers, Roman philosopher. Whichever, we suffer
more in imagination than in reality. We suffer more in
imagination than in reality. And I heard somebody say the
other day that whatever bad thing happens, the story we
(07:49):
tell ourselves about it is usually far worse than the
actual thing itself, and I thought, I've probably done that
a few times in my life. Maybe that's just about
attitude or fear. Fear creeps in and you start to
go with all kinds of different tentacles that could come
off this bad thing that happen.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Right or like I had that the cancer surgery thing,
minor thing, skin cancer thing, and I was worrying about
it and how painful uncomfortable it might be. And finally
I got hold of my brain and made myself stop,
because Seneca might just be referring to the fact that
(08:30):
instead of suffering, you know, to some extent for fifteen minutes,
you're suffering for hours and hours because you're worrying about it. Interestingly,
it was a counting Crow's song that made the point
most clearly to me, the fabulous catchy tune Einstein on
the Beach. At the end, Adam Duritz says, and I'm
(08:52):
sure he didn't come up with this, but what you
fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway,
So don't stew get some sleep.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He'sier said than done, but a good idea.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh yeah, anything worth saying is easier said than done.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's why people say it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Uh right, Oh, that reminds me another great saying.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's just a saying.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But and I need a giant poster of this, and
to remind people of this all the time. Uncontroversial speech
needs no defense. If free speech doesn't apply to stuff
that makes people mad, it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That's the point. Getting back to your clap back against
my easier said than done, I think the problem with
easier said than done as it is, these sayings are
laid upon you as if, having merely heard it, you
now can just go ahead and enact. You are now empowered. Yes,
oh yeah, Now that I have that knowledge of that's
what I can do for the rest of my life. She'snizzle,
(09:59):
I almost wore it. I'm not worried anymore. Thank you
for that wisdom.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, it's uh yeah, no, I absolutely concede. Grasping that
idea is the beginning.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
In a lifelong practice. We will hear from Kamala Harris,
the Idgit and among other things on the way. Stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Just started picking them up and throwing them in like
it was a burn barrel on fire into the casket.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
He had one burning there and another one burning over there.
Then he kicked this coffin down and dragged the Bob
Ross skeleton into it, set Bob Ross on fire, then
began grabbing the little skeleton animals and throwing them in
there as well.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
But we're very, very lucky because those bushes caught fire
and it's right by the fence, right by the house.
John literally came over with like a pot of water,
like a you know, like a like he make spaghetti
is like and dumped it out. Another one brought the
fire extinguisher, which is now in the casket.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What happened then, I'm afraid we're going to have to
devote the rest of the show and most of Monday
show to unpacking that clip. Some lunatic torched a family's
Halloween display in the middle of the night, which apparently
included a Bob Ross skeleton.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay, yes, Michael no I thought that's what made the
clip unique. Bob Ross who sets up Bob Ross for Halloween? Eh,
skeleton Bob Ross.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
He kicked this coffin down and dragged the bob Ross
skeleton into it, and began grabbing little skeleton animals and
throwing them in there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
All right, lunatic, Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Uh no, no word of why said lunatic did that
sort of thing. Oh, we have a skeleton in our family, Jack,
as you know, Candy the skeleton. He's been in the
family for years. And just as a joke, I put
one of my daughter Delaney's law school t shirts on
(11:55):
him and put his hands on a couple of thick books,
and I said, the picture with a caption he studied
too much because she works like a fiend. And she said,
not funny, that's literally my life right now. And so
I went on chat GPT and I created an image
of a skeleton standing in front of a mansion with
(12:15):
an expensive car in the driveway, and it gave me
a great one, and I captured that one. But in
a few short years, right bullied her spirit a good time.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a good one. We have a couple skeleton in
the family. And the one of them I have laying
underneath my son's truck as if it had been run over.
That's the joke. Here's somebody you got charming. I live
in the sort of neighborhood where if somebody gets run
over by a car, we just leave the body there
until it decomposes completely. That's the joke. Happy Halloween, enjoy
(12:47):
a dandy bar.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
This is actually semi scary, although I am delighted that
at least some people are saying this out loud. Several
leaders of prominent universities a couple of days ago, at
a meeting I hadn't heard about, said they believe the
anti is and anti Semitic demonstrations that broke out on
campuses across the United States during the War against Tomas
were not organic, Instead, telling a panel audience they believe
(13:11):
quote organized networks and even foreign governments may have driven
the unrest.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Organic. It's an interesting term because every protest is planned
by somebody, and often the people at the top are
not people you would like enjoy no matter what the
protest is. Oh yeah, but when it's a foreign country
that is an enemy of the United States, obviously it's
a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And I'm not letting the hateful little darlings of America's
campuses off the hook. Yeah they follow their responsibility, but
yeah they went along with it. But leaders of notable
universities had not offered many thoughts on the connections between
the campus protests and outside groups before the discussion on
combating anti Semitism that happened on Monday. During the events,
(13:53):
Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Cyberud brought up Iran in particular, quote,
believe they meaning the demonstrations were encouraged by Iran. It
did not have the involvement of very many, if any,
of our own students. Vanderbilt University Chancellor Daniel Dermir agreed,
saying the anti Israel movement on his campus seems to
(14:14):
have been coordinated by outside forces and followed a playbook
that was imported from other universities. And I quote, there
was not a large group, maybe thirty plus students or something,
but they were using the playbook that they had seen
at Columbia and other places. It was the same messaging.
So it's more than a social contagion. I think they're
organized networks as well.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Why wouldn't you do that if you're Iran. We've done
that to other countries. Sure, usually usually like empowering people
who are democracy pro democracy protesters.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And I had forgotten this, but now that I'm reminded
of it, it's ringing a bell. Three Israelis who had
been held captive in Gaza alleged in a May lawsuit
that one of their Hamas captors told them that quote
Hamas in Gaza was co ordinate its allies, including its
allies in the media and on college campuses, to foment
hatred against Israel and Jews.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
That would surprise me, not in the least.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, And they go on a little
bit more with that. Uh well, that'd be a scandal.
You can nail that down. Yeah, yeah, you know. That
reminds me. I had a couple of articles I never
got to that were all about how distorted the news
out of Gaza is because nobody dares report critically on
(15:32):
Hamas because you get killed. And they brought up one
correspondent who was used by I almost said al Qaeda,
al Jazeera, Freudian slip who filed was it seventy four
stories and not a single one of them was about Hamas.
(15:54):
Every single one was about the evil Jews. Not a
single one critical of hamasit or anything. They did not
even like they miscalculated when they or.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, well, I keep saying, if I hear one negative
ish story, negative adjacent story on NPR about Hamas, it'll
be the first one.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, no kidding. So you know, people ought to
be more diligent in finding independent sources of information or
broader palette. But you know, people think they're well informed
because they get a lot of news from the New
York Times and NPR, and they're they're brutally ill informed.
But it's only partly their fault, I guess.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So the delusional Kamala Harris is still on her book tour,
trying to sell books, and she was on John Stewart's
podcast the other day and said something that shocked him. Well,
have delational numbskull, Yeah, Comras. Sometimes people are delusional because
they're dumb. That might be her problem, that she's dumb.
Joe and I don't believe in silent letters.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Glad you've joined me in my stance fight against silence letters.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So we've got that coming up. Stay tuned. If you
missed the segment, get the podcast arms Strong and Geddy
on demand. That's what you search for and subscribe to
as he it automatically shows up in your feet every day.
Armstrong in Geddy on.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Demand, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
My son wants to watch scary movies tonight, my thirteen
year old. He isn't gonna go trick or treading. He
thinks he's it's for little kids, and he's not gonna
do that. We're gonna stay and watch scary movies. But
I want to watch the World Series so bad, so
I don't know how I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So tell him son, this man is throwing a hard
the ball let the other man that's one hundred miles
browery could kill.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Him before every pitch. I'll record it and I'll watch
it later, but I gotta make sure my phone or
watch doesn't ding and say Toronto has just won their
first World Series.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And Danni gotta go full radio sis I do. Speaking
of the media, a couple of things. Number One, we're
just alerted that an ex CBS producer has alleged that
the layoffs at CBS were race based.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's it. You know what, even lesbian, lifelong liberal hates
black people and women, and that's what her goal is.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know what, Hey, nobody even is hearing you. You
cried wolf so many times and so nakedly and dishonestly.
Not only do we not believe there's a wolf, I'm
beginning to doubt there are any wolves. You people, You're ridiculous.
Your moment is pasted.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Another media note, Kamala Harris has been doing her ill
advised train wreck of a book tour.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
One hundred and seven days. If I'd have just had
a couple of more days.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
In terms of ridiculousness, who do you think is winning
the race to be the most ridiculous?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
KJP or Kamala? I don't know, hard to beat? Yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So we're gonna play a headful of clips of an
interview Kamala did with an Australian news outlet. The first
clip is not the payoff, but it sets the tone
for what follows.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So we'll go ahead and get started.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Michael, wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him?
Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason
that you faced a nearly impossible task.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump
ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe,
misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe
that there are a fair number of people that voted
for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them
(19:45):
that his first priority on day one is going to
be to bring down prices and he didn't. And you
combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was that
play in terms of massive amounts of miss distant from it?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
All?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Right, you can see where this is going, seeing as
how she didn't even come close to answering the question.
I've always it's funny did these these callbacks because I
hadn't heard her in a while. That tone she takes
what happened was I'm about to lay a truth bomb
on you. That's just going to knock you out of
your shoes, and then she never does.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And the other advantage the Aussie Gale has is that
she has no awe for the second in command of
the American government. Just as if I was interviewing the
Vice Premiere or whatever the position would be of Australia,
I wouldn't give a damn. It'd be like, no, I'm
asking you the questions I want to ask. I've boxed kangaroos.
Do you think I'm scared of you?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Criikey. It rolls on now.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
I'm forgivenn I want to calendar in terms of yes o'clock.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
I want to interrupt you, because that is a world
class pivot. But it is not the question that I
asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize
his own frailty and what that did to you. The
question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to
criticize the former president.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
In what regard? Please?
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Well, just in terms of that question, So you what exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Would you like to ask?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Be more specific if you don't mind.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his
own frailties in that position that put you in the
position that made it almost impossible to win that race.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
He was not frail as president of the United States, but.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
He had frailties. We all saw the debate.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to
be president of the United States, and I have never
doubted that he had the capacity to be president of
the United States. If you want to talk about whether
he had the ability to endure what a race or
president of the United States would require in that political
(21:52):
environment in twenty twenty four. As I've said in the book,
I had concern.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, she goes with that angle with John Stewart. What're
you going to play the clip? It a little bit.
I love the first of all, I love the what
go ahead, ask your specific question. I have asked a
specific question, very specific, several times. Now you're not answering it.
But she and then then when she goes into that
tone of the how dare you question? His his competent
(22:19):
sort of tone that she always has.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
How does she think that's working on anybody? Hilarious? It
didn't even work on Democrats. Prior to the debate, most
the majority of Democrats wanted him to not run. How
does she think at this point? I mean, this is
when did she do this interview? Anyway? Recently the report
came out Monday, that report we talked about earlier where
(22:44):
it talks about the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, his
chief of staff. They were all having conversations with Joe
Biden saying you shouldn't run again? Wow, and who does
she think this is landing?
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right, yeah, all right, let's roll on.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
Is that I'm just wondering, is there a reason why
you won't go to that prolonged frailty question? When we
saw the debate, we saw the difficulty he had marshaling his.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Thoughts answered that question. I do not believe.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
I think it's just hard watching the debate to see
how there could not be a problem long term with
someone who can't marshal their thoughts. I'm not saying his
acuity wasn't present bat.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
In the book, and I also mentioned the context in
which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how I
talked about that in terms of what his travel schedule
had been, that what he had been enduring, in terms
of the timing of that debate. I can talk about
it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away from that,
So I wrote it in the book because I do
(23:45):
know it's a question people had.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh my god, she is something else well, utterly charisma
free and unwilling to answer any question about anything.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Does Joe Biden have pictures of her like whipping a
child or something.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Now, it's not that because she can't answer a question
about anything that has nothing to do with Joe Biden.
She just she It's Mark Halpurn's knock on her has
been from the beginning. She is the most cautious politician
I've ever met. He always says, she just is not.
She's gonna hedge on every question to leave herself wiggle
room because she's just incredibly scared of getting nailed down
(24:25):
on even an easy position.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
She's not bright enough to realize which ones are worth
saying and which ones aren't.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I guess because she has no confidence, she probably has
one no like actual ideology positions, and then she has
no confidence to back it up if anybody questions her
any further. Remember what were we voting on on election day?
Also in California the whole do we want to start
putting criminals back in jail again? When like eighty percent
of Californians agreed we shouldn't have passed overwhelmingly, and she
(24:54):
wouldn't take a stance on it. I don't think of her.
There's your Democrats un face. Yes, it passed in a blue,
blue state on a day when everybody was turning out
to vote for her. She wouldn't come out and say,
she said, I don't think it'd be proper for me
to weigh on this.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
What are you talking about? Because so she's just too cautious. Yeah, yeah,
we're gonna do the Jon Stewart style.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, so I don't know what all this explains. Number
forty five, But whatever is not in there I will
fill in.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Oh right, yeah, no, I'm not talking about confidence at all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Now.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I believe he was fully competent to serve?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Are you really?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I did?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That surprises me?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Actually no, I do.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
But there's a distinction to be made between running for
president and being a president.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Okay, that's when she gets into the thing and that
she was referencing with the Australian interviewer. She says this
in the book, and then she says this anytime anybody
brings it up, that running for president is like running
a marathon while people are throwing tomatoes at you. It's
very difficult. Things are coming at you very fast from
(26:02):
many directions. It's exhausting. And John Stewart's reply is, and
it's a good one, is Yeah, being president is like
running a marathon with people throwing tomatoes at you and
lots of things coming at you really fast. And you're
saying you think he was able to do that? Yes, Yes,
I do. I think he was up to the job.
I mean, that's insane. It is you. You can't get
(26:25):
away with any of this, but at least you got
some tiny bit of cover to say he was okay
being president at that time. Yeah, not a lot. But
maybe I'll take your word for it that maybe you
thought he was up to the but claiming he could
be president for another four years, you're into insaneville.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well right, yeah, and that whole dodge that running for
president is way harder than being president.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Number one, it's it's hard.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Maybe it's hard in a different way, but uh, number one,
being president is really really, really hard. So oh, I'm
not sure that matters, even if it's true. And secondly,
the guy won in twenty twenty by hiding in his basement.
He hardly campaigned at all, and he didn't have the
power of the incumbency, so he could have run a
(27:15):
you know, a low key doing video address from the
White House. I'm so busy, I'm sorry, I can't be
there in person type campaign.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's this ridiculous. I can't believe John Stuart's forceful reply
was John Stuart, who's more of a mainstream Democrat. You
think he'd be more like Bill Maher and say you're nuts,
you're nuts. That's a ridiculous thing to say that he
was capable of being president. We could all see that
he wasn't. Poles showed that Democrats, and majority of Democrats
(27:43):
didn't think he was capable of being president before the debate,
So why are you continuing to go around making this claim?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Who's that for?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Who sits there awestruck with respect for Kamala Harrison and
says I, So I must say, I'm surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What a tepid response to a blatant either lie or
you're a complete moron. And I'm not exactly sure which
it is. That other excuse she uses all the time
of I've explained in the book about how his travel
schedule is very difficult. He'd flown on al Acronsol World
and he had and then much and he had a cold. Okay, well,
guess what, when you're president, you're gonna have a very
busy schedule also, and every now and then you're gonna
(28:18):
get a cold. So if China attacks Taiwan, we have
to say hold off on your attacking Taiwan. The presidents
have a cold. And he just got back from Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
He's very tired, right, Yeah, it's just ridiculous now that
in John's defense, I don't know what the follow up
was because that was a very short clip that was
apparently an interview conducted at a rave I don't know
why I had disco music in the background, but yeah,
what a joke. And then she goes to audiences and
or does a live address and the MC asks and
(28:48):
now are you thinking about running? And she says, I've
said I'm not done.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yet in the crowd. Yeay, what if you people not gotten?
I don't know if it's unfortunate she's not going to
actually be able to run, even if she plans to,
because I'd like it to run, because I think it'd
be fun. She would humiliate herself even more. There's going
to be zero dollars because smart people with lots of
money who donate to candidates, they're here in this crap
(29:15):
and when they hear her say to John Stewart, yeah,
I think he could have run. He could have been
president for four more years. Okay, I'm not giving you
any damn money. Well, it is what it is because
he is hute.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He is. That's why it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Because at some point, Oh, I want to mention this.
Josh Shapiro laid a little groundwork a couple of days
ago around the whole You know, I was never around
Joe Biden, So I didn't see the things other people saw,
laying a little groundwork for going after Kamala Harris or
whoever else might run that was in the administration for saying,
(29:48):
this person who knew what Joe Biden was like allowed
us to lose to Donald Trump by keeping it a secret.
He's going to do that next.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
He'll start making vague references to well, I haven't turned
Pennsylvania into a crap hole full of junkies. So anyway,
I'm proud of the work you're done here, right, and
Gaviel flinch visibly.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh boy, that's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, yeah,
I am. I am stunned by the fact that she's
gonna continue to claim that he was okay to be
president for four more years. He wasn't claim he wasn't
capable at the time, right, Yeah, what is going on there?
(30:34):
She's a half flip, is it? I wonder if it's
because if she gives an inch on that, Yeah, this
is it. Probably if she gives even an inch. Oh,
you don't think he was capable for four more years?
At what point did you realize the guy running for
president couldn't be president for four more years and why
didn't you say anything. That's the next question.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And that's a Difficultviana liked any after and then I'll
be the president.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's a pretty voice. Are you busy lately? Later? Lately
they've been good. I said late. That was a good
punchline has written. Yeah, flat bat, that voice is charming.
You practically have me in bed already. Okay, we won't
(31:25):
finish strong next time. The scary scary music we've been
playing the entire day. That is the theme of Halloween,
being scared.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Ah who so.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh this is not scary at all. It is kind
of fun and inspiring. Apparently there's some sort of golf
event and uh and and the team was doing badly,
including somebody named Kwan apparently, and none other than coach
John Gruden Chucky himself on Halloween gave the fellows a
pep talk.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We need some.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Falling down there are this guy? Do you think where's
our guy?
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Kwanta?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And get him out here?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
There is right there.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Come on here, let me quiet, Let's bring quantit quiet.
Speaker 10 (32:11):
That will come on up here.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Coach here, come on, I think we've got to get
it out of our system here. Yes, yeah, yeah, here's
two things we can do.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
We can be pissed off, right, we can blame quant
we can blame ourselves.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
We can do.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Whatever we want, or we can roll apart confisted pound
a rock.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Are we clear on that we've got the best player
right right now? You got this dig this hole.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
You're gonna dig this out of.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Every guy here, though, quick mention about our problems.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Start rolling the rock.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Put the ball in the hole.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Are we clear on that?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Let's control what we can controls. Hurry, tell me you guys.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I came a long way to watch you guys play,
and he slept in, and the hell you.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Guys slept in?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Also, how to pick up your game?
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Let's go just.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Here, we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We're gonna go get their ass. We're gonna do quand
Q three what three? Saw that?
Speaker 3 (33:19):
That's beautiful?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So a bunch of guys playing golf, probably having a
few beers, they need a little pick me up, and
they see a legendary fiery football coach. Can you give
him some speech? That's awesome? Oh that's so good, and
and that whole I just I loved a lot of that. Yeah,
I like that.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know, Kwan was the goat and he knew it,
and he was down, and the guys were resenting them.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And that's good coaching. Not only you guys gotta worry
about your thing, but Kwan's.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Gonna lead us back.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
And because you can't have a guy stay down. I
save my thought on that from my final thought.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh and I didn't get to what I really wanted
to talk about college football wise, we'll do it on Monday.
Really interesting. I promise you no final thoughts with Armstrong
and get.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That was frightening. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
To wrap up the day. There is Michael Aangelo or
technical director Michael Well.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
I'll be doing my usual Halloween trick or treating.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I give out candy.
Speaker 10 (34:25):
But what I do is I hold a bag, blindfold
the children. They either get a candy bar or a Bible,
so fifty fifty shot. They're either to get educated with
the Lord or a chocolate bar.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Chocolate bar.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That's interesting, Katie Green, Aristeen Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Last year I complained that Drew bought crap candy.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
So this year I bought the candy, and now I'm
complaining because I'm eating it all Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, as of this afternoon, I'll have a lot of
candy in the house. And well, what's the over under
on how many candy bars I eat?
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Jack?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Final thought, Yeah, I like what John Gruden said. Long
remember that it with my kids. We can just keep
complaining and bitching here, or we could ball up our
fists and pound on a rock, which is just as effective. Right,
that's good stuff. Then you gotta roll the rock right
all right, I'm rolling it anyway? Where do you want it?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
My final thought.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Isn't Halloween like a Catholic co opting of a Druid holiday?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Given candidity undead? What's so hard to understand? All hallows? Eve?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I like the Mexican Day of the Dead, where you
think about the folks you've lost and how much you love.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Them still in that stuff. I like that idea. We
ought to have something like that in our society. Now
we dress up like Marvel and Disney characters and eat candy. Now,
what are you gonna do? Armstrong and Geeddy wrapping up
out of they're grueling four hour work? There so many people,
thanks so little time. Go to Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh Man, the A and G swag store has been restocked.
The starve the lazy T shirts and hoodies are in.
Wear them proudly. How much have people ask you what
do you mean by that? Am I start wearing this
mustache all the time. It's really growing on me. I
like it.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
We will see on Monday. God bless America. This concludes
this year's Halloween show.
Speaker 11 (36:09):
We hope you had as much fun watching our show
as the Koreans did animate in it. But there's one
group for whom every day is Halloween. I'm talking about
adulta literates. For them, trying to read the morning newspaper
is more terrifying than any goblin, ghoul, spook, or spirit
