Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. I'm strong and Jettie and
he armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
But I do feel like the general public they're waking
up to those parents' dads, moms. They don't want to
see their daughters lose out on opportunities and be forced
to undress in front of someone of the opposite sex
and their locker room. So I do think tides are turning.
There have been some sports governing bodies who have done
some good things World Athletics FINA, so I'm appreciating the
(00:46):
little steps, but I do believe the battle is nowhere
near being one.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's Charlie Gaines, who had to swim against a dude
in college, and she has become a big activist on
this whole transport issue. She was standing behind University of
Nevada Reno women's volleyball players on Saturday when they had
to hold a press conference to basically shame or force
their university into forfeiting because the university said, Nope, we're
(01:13):
gonna play, and the players were like, what, you don't
get to decide for us, We're not gonna get to
play against the dude who plays on San Jose State.
And it's become kind of a game for me since
we started talking about this. I really enjoy this game
of when you follow a mainstream news story about San
Jose San Jose State women's volleyball, whether they ever mention
(01:34):
what the issue is. News sources have started to decide
they need to cover it all the forfeits, but they
never mention why in any mainstream news story, which is weird, weird, cowardly, dishonest.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So Riley Gaines is a co signer of a letter
with Jim Desmond, who is the supervisor fifth District of
San Diego County's Board of Supervisors, to San Diego State
University because they are going to be playing San Jose
State and their women's volleyball team that features a dude soon.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Jim, how are you, sir? Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Hey, thanks for having me this morning, Thanks for bringing
this up.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So, of course, why do you hate just my first
question full of hate? Fair questions?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
All right, No, no, not full of they just you know,
it's unfair competition. I mean this, you know, why even
discuss this? It's crazy to have, you know, men competing
in women's sports, and it only hurts the women, you know,
by them not being able to get scholarships or get
you know, get get the merits and awards that they
want or deserve. And these men are are getting into
(02:41):
these sports and taking it over it. It's you know,
Riley Gain signed on the letter, as you mentioned, also
Peyton McNabb who actually is permanently injured after being spiked
in the face by by a male volleyball player. So
you know, this is craziness. And you know, like she
had said earlier, Riley, that flew the tidest turning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
There are hundreds of medals, championships, scholarships that have been
won by dudes who say I'm a girl now and
have denied the female athletes those those accolades and those opportunities.
That is absolutely bizarre and obscene. What's the San Diego
State's current stance as far as you can tell, Jim, Well,
(03:24):
we're playing San Jose State and their guy.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah, yeah, well so far radio silence out of San
Diego State. And unfortunately, you know, I have a hunch,
being another California school, they may go ahead with it.
But haven't heard anything yet. Yeah, we haven't heard anything
yet from them, but we're hoping, you know, November ninth
is you know, after the election, hellelujah. But you know,
(03:48):
hopefully we'll get some traction and maybe some of the
teammates are will say, hey, we just don't want to
compete against this. And I'm glad five teams has already
you know, shut down and not agreed to play San
Jose States.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, yeah, quite a few teams. Quite a few teams
have forfeited. But some of the teams have said why.
But a number of the teams, way too many of
them don't say out loud why they're forfeiting, which I
find troubling.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, I think, Jim correct me if I'm wrong. Some
of them, some of the administrators are actually fearing running
a foul of their progressive states laws on protecting transgender people.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Well, absolutely, and that hence California, you know, doing that.
But I do think, you know, both sides of the
aisle people think this is crazy and outrageous and shouldn't
be taking place. And can't you know, even believe why
we're having to have this conversation. There's you know, anytime
there's a physical competition. Men are just more physically capable
(04:48):
than women, but you know, each in their own different ways,
and those sports should be protected.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's worth saluting some of the really courageous people in
this controversy, including the women, the young women who stood
up said we're not playing this game. Brooks Slusser, who
actually plays for San Jose State, has joined the lawsuit,
including eighteen women athletes, including Rigley Gaines. Gaines versus NC
Double A is filed in the Federal Court in the
(05:15):
Northern District of Georgia and March alleging the NC DOUBLEA
rules on transgender women violate their Title nine rights. This
is heading for the Supreme Court and I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, I'm glad Joe brought up the laws because I
thought it was just cowardice on the part of these
various schools that wouldn't say why they forfeited. But dependent
on where you live, there are laws protecting things you
say about transgender athletes or discriminating. I mean, if you
announced out loud, we're quitting because you got a dude
on your team, you'd be in violation of the law.
(05:46):
So that's a problem.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Right, Elections have consequences. Hey, I have one more note
on this topic. Jim as a former girls coach. I
can't shut up about this, and I won't shut up
about this ever. But there was a hit piece in
the San Francisco Chronicle, uh bashing miss Lusser who he
just mentioned, Brooks Slusser, written by one Marissa in Gemmi,
(06:11):
who's a sports writer who doesn't appear to have ever
played sports, which is not necessary to be a sports
writer at all.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You might just be a big fan and knowledgeable.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
But she is unquestionably an lgbt Q plus minus over
the power of three activist and is bashing a young
woman who has the courage to say it's women's sports.
I'm not playing against a dude. Shame on you, Marissa,
Shame on you, San Francisco Chronicle. Anyway, Jim Desmond of
(06:41):
the San Diego County Bord of Supervisors is on the line. Jim,
we talked you a lot about Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We did get this text. They could call the game
between San Diego and San Jose the Battle of the Bulge.
I don't feel like that's a helpful test. Well look
at that, he laughs. You're incouraging, You're or about that.
That's a really funny joke.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So anyway, we've talked to you, Jim about a lot
of immigration related topics because and it gets less publicity
for some reason than Texas, probably because Gavin Newsom is
a deep blue governor and pretends illegal immigration isn't a
troublesome thing. But San Diego is an epicenter of illegal immigration.
What's going on on that front in your world?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Well, we are back up above capacity for the number
of people coming across the San Diego section of the border,
and so we are beyond capacity. And we were actually
told in San Diego County about a week ago that
they were going to start the street drop offs again.
They stopped the street drop offs in June of this year.
(07:44):
Went from September of last year's June of this year.
It was about one hundred and fifty five thousand people
they dropped in our streets in June. Because of Biden's
executive order, they cut back on that. But now we're
back up beyond capacity, and so it's happening now. Instead
of doing the street dropoffs, they are shipping migrants to Yuma, Arizona,
about three bus loads a day and about one flight
(08:07):
a day to various points in Texas to.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Just drop them off and essentially say to these cities
and towns you deal with them.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, it's not good on anyway. I've spent a fair
amount of time in Yuma traveling. I get off the bus,
have fanks. What am I supposed to do here?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I would imagine there's a lot of non you know,
non government organizations and people that help them get on
their way or travel to wherever it is they're going.
But the optics, which is I really think the reason
they didn't start to drip off the street drop offs
again is the optics two weeks before an election, you know,
would have been terrible. And so what they're doing instead
of you know, dropping them on the streets, which quite
(08:49):
frankly we don't really want, but they're shipping them out quietly.
And so we were able to find this out from
our local border patrol agents and telling us and actually,
you know, we got pictures of impoarding airplanes. They don't
go through the terminal at San Diego Airport there on
the cargo side, and so they don't have to They're
not seen as much as they board the airplanes and
(09:12):
get shipped.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Out, Wow, it's unbelievable. Jim Desmond of the fifth Districts
of San Diego County. Jim, we appreciate the time. Keep
us up to date as news breaks and developments occur.
We'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Hey, thanks a lot. Jack and Joe appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh, it's our pleasure as always. Thanks. If Trump wins,
it's going to be in large part because of the
immigration issue, which a number of people saw coming years ago,
but they weren't able to get there. The Democrats were
not able to get their arms around it. Probably on purpose.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, and there's ambivalents on the Republican side in the
halls of power. As we've discussed many times. Don't let
the rhetoric fool you. The Republicans are way better on
immigration than Democrats, but for reasons we've discussed again behind
the scenes, the protected class, the the moneyed class. They
want the immigrants. They just need to keep it cool
enough that the rest of us don't go crazy. Back
(10:07):
to the battle of a bulge. So you think where
the rubber is going to meet the road is there's
going to be somebody file a title nine. Thing about
women in sports on behalf of no dudes in sports,
and then it will butt up against one of these
pro trans laws where you can't deny a trands athlete
(10:29):
their human rights or something like that, and that the
two have to be enclashed and then climb up.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You think that's.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
No, No, it won't be necessary because the eighteen athletes
have already filed that federal lawsuit are so clearly going
to win that federal law superseding state law and title
line superseding anything the Gavin Newsom's of the world can
cook up. Then there will be no more dudes in
women's sports. How quickly do you think that will have,
at least at the collegiate level. I think the Soups
(10:57):
have agreed to look at a case. I can't remember
which one this term or maybe next term, you know what.
I'll look that up and get back to you. But
it'll be within the next year, I think.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
And Clarence Thomas is going to say, does this female
volleyball player have a penis?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yes, your honor. That seems like a clearcutcase to be done.
That could happen.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
How do you like this instead of the Battle of
the bulge, The headline is too many balls on the court.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Three balls is too many for volleyball. Exactly. There you go.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That's the subhead. Hey, quick word from our friends. That's
simply save home security. If you're like us, the safety
of your home and your loved ones isn't just a priority,
it's everything. Probably is old school home security systems just
take action once somebody's already inside your home. Simply save
home securities. Changing that with its new Active Guard outdoor protection.
It's the only home security designed to prevent crimes before
(11:55):
they happen.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Twenty four to seven. Monitoring agents keeping a close watch
over your property can actually top crimes before they happen.
Talk directly to the intruder, sound aloud, siren, flash lights,
even alert the police. That's pretty cool, but listen to this.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
These cameras used advanced AI to tell the difference between
friendly faces like family and neighbors to potential threats ooching
around trying to get in, so they can alert agents
to suspicious individuals before they get close to your home.
Holy cow, that's good stuff. Protect your home with fifty
percent off a new simply Safe system plus a free
indoor security camera when you sign up for fast protect monitoring,
(12:31):
which is just about a buck at day. Visit simply
safe dot com slash Armstrong. That's simply safe dot com
slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I think one ball on the court at any given
time is enough. I'm Clarencete.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Tell you what this Clarence Thomas bit. You gotta take
it on the road like one of those Mark Twain
one man show this kid stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Michael. He's cracking up in there, Yeah, really enjoying it. Wow.
What are Americans thoughts on whether or not they trust
the vote count or whether or not there's going to
be violence after the election, which is one week from today.
We have some of the pulling on that, among other things.
Stay tuned, Armstrong, Andy Conal Harris had a rally with Beyonce.
(13:18):
I cannot wait to hear she'll do that better than me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Your vote is one of the most valuable tools and
we need you.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
No, no, no singing, just a heartfelt statement of the
importance of the election.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'm voting for Trump. That's just I don't I don't
know if that was a mistake or what like if
it The media went really big Friday on Beyonce is
perform at Conala rally, and then she spoke for like
a minute, walked off. I don't know. I don't know
if it was bait and switch or what. Who cares.
(14:08):
So Trump's doing a press conference right now, full on
press conference, with all of the opposing press asking him
all kinds of hard questions. Kamala has never done that once.
She's had a few gaggles here and there with friendly
people she trusts, but she's never stood up there with
the full press corps taking questions for obvious reasons. As
(14:29):
we're about to hear, this is the way she handles stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Here.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
She is Nora O'Donnell, who is obviously a friendly if
we if you watch the debate norah' donald on CBS
News interview in Kamala Harris, this is on the abortion topic.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You have been clear that that is a priority, but
what you have not been clear on is what that
bill would look like.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
You've talked about restoring rods, very clear. You've not said
less restrictions you would support.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Let's put back in place for Roe versus Wade, this
was not an issue. Wrote when Roe versus Wade was
intact for fifty years half a century, so you're able to.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Restrictions after viability.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
I support Roe versus Wade being put back into law
by Congress and to restore the fundamental right of women
to make decisions about their own body.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It is that basic.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So then why not say what restrictions you would support?
Is part of that I've told you. And when you
put back in place Roe v.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Wade.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And when you argue that Donald Trump, if elected, would
put forward a national abortion band.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Just read Project twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
The former president said that's not true.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
He says everything, Come on, are we really taking his
word for it?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So so interesting and revealing.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So it was an interesting thing to watch because there
was a stare down there for a couple of uncomfortable
seconds where accomplish is I told you, with kind of
a glare like how Terry, why do you keep pressing
me on this? And Nora was looking at her like, no,
you haven't, I'm asking three times, which I think it
(16:04):
was fine for her to move on at that point.
I think it was the classic Tim Russer unmeet the
press back in the day, You've made it clear to
your audience they're not answering the question. I mean, you've
pursued it several times, all right.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What the part I find so interesting is that to
she's actually carved out a pretty moderate position saying I
want to Roevy Wade and shrined in federal law, which
is very much first trimester okay, up to a certain
point as the baby comes anywhere close to viable. No,
you can't kill the baby unless there is a super
compelling reason.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is Roe v Wade.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
But she dare not admit that Roe v Wade contains
any limitations because of.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Her extremist wing. I guess.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I mean, anybody knows anything about Roe v Wade understands
that the limits are are a big part of it,
but she can't admit that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Oh right, yeah, I got I guess. Or I actually
thought that is the for time I've ever thought that
she just doesn't know. Maybe has she not gone deep
enough on this to know what the restrictions are that
can't be.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Or is she just that hyper cautious and the whole
even Trump has said over and over again, I would
veto that law, I would not sign it. And I
Project twenty twenty five, which is QAnon for lefties, got
nothing to do with me, but she's continuing to hammer that.
You don't offer stupid, ridiculous arguments because you're keeping the
good ones fresh.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Right, And if she ever did a press conference like
Trump's doing right now, you know the media could piggyback
and just keep hammering on an issue where she'd really
be in an uncomfortable situation, which is why she doesn't
do these sorts of press conferences. Right, So you're comfortable
with the limits that are included in Roe v. Wade.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I support enshrining Roe v. Wade as federal law. Okay,
all right, right, we all get to vote.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I still have my samevalues. My values haven't changed. Okay,
So you're not going to call my positions. You're not
going to say anything about fracking, We get it. How
do people feel about election days? They're going to be writing.
Will they believe the vote count? We've got some polling
on that, arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
In Vancouver, Washington, officials say hundreds of ballots were destroyed
when they went up in smoke after a fire suppression
system inside did not work as it should have. A
small number of ballots were also damaged. In Portland, Oregon,
investigators believe this vehicle is connected to both fires, and
they're investigating a third similar incident at another nearby ballot
(18:38):
box earlier this month. This as the Department of Homeland
Security warns some individuals online are now calling for the
sabotage of ballot drop boxes.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So that's not a good development. Luckily, that's in two
states where it's not going to be close likely, But
you get that sort of thing happening in Pennsylvania or
Georgia and the elections close.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, these people have cars and plane tickets. It wouldn't
surprise me if it does. And acting like it's a
big mystery, Okay, In a couple of conservative suburbs of Portland,
you have ballots being set aflame gee, who lights.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Things on fire around Portland? Let me think you could
have people on the right absolutely upset about that. Obviously,
here's some people on the left. Here's AOC.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
It's very important for people to understand that these are
many January sixth rallies.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So she said, Trump's rally at Madison Square Gardens Sunday
night was a mini January sixth rally. Kamala is on
the Ellipse in DC today for her big speech where
She's gonna really drive home the point that Trump is
Hitler fascist. Remember January sixth, et cetera. Other things to
worry about if Trump gets in with Project twenty twenty five.
Here's wio Be Goldberg, all.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Of you walking about you.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
It's up. He's not going to be see not gonna
you know, say.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Oh, you're with a white guy. I'm gonna keep you
from being deported.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
No, you're gonna to.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Port you and put the white guy with someone else.
The man is out there. He part of Project twenty
five is gonna lead toward the end of interracial relationships.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
What because he's gonna deport the dark person, so somebody else,
presumably a white person, can fill that role. I'm having
more and more trouble understanding whoopees fever dreams.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
There's a lot of nutpicking that goes on on both sides.
That's when you take the most extremest nut job views,
present them, and then act like that's what everybody on
the other side believes. And I never know which is
which if it's a good I mean, there's a reason
they do focus groups, right See, you talk to some
people and then you extrapolate that that's what people believe.
(20:54):
What is nutpicking and what is a focus group? I
don't know. I don't know how you draw the line.
I don't think quoting the hosts of the view is
nut picking. You don't no Whoopy's a nut?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Well, yeah she is, but she's not a carefully picked nut.
That's the point. If I walk into one of the
many almond orchards in central California and say that's a nut,
I'm not nut picking. The Democratic Party is an orchard
full of nuts.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
As you have said for years, that's a horrible term.
We need to come up with a better tone. I know,
I know. I barely let it go when you said it. Oh,
speaking of witch sounds like TikTok craze for high school boys.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Coming up, coming up. I am so torn. The nastier
I phrase this, the funnier it is. But to be overtly,
gratuitously nasty for you good folks, you decent folks, you god.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
And country people.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You don't need nasty talk in your ears. So I'm torn. Michael,
do you have any thoughts?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
If it makes you grin, leave way to run against type. Michael, Wow,
what a jackass. Anyway, he's going to go. I'm going
to go with a reasonably clean version. Okay, okay, if
you enjoyed putting drugs up here, butt vote, Harris Walls, Boy,
(22:34):
what's that get to do with a goofing? Jack? Staying
your business for boofing? Polling on how people feel about
election day, which is one week from to day, and
if Trump wins the way polls show he could will
know at the latest on Wednesday afternoon, but if it
goes any other direction, it could be quite a few
(22:57):
days or weeks. You know, they don't. I don't start
hand counting Pennsylvania ballots till that morning. For instance. Do
you trust the vote count? This is good news? Nearly
eight and ten voters do. According to the USA Today
Suffolk University poll, nearly eighty percent of people you got
(23:18):
about forty percent very competent, confident, not competent, about thirty
six percent somewhat confident, which adds up to about eighty
percent of people feeling pretty good about it. Although one
out of five people not believing the vote count is
enough for a revolution. Really, that's dangerous. Certainly, where are
you on that? I would be I'm a very confident.
(23:39):
I'm very confident. Yeah, I'm very confident too. I'm toward
the lower end of very confident. I'm reminded. Excuse me.
And we'll be talking about this again next hour. If
you don't get Next Hour, grab it via podcast later
Armstrong and getting on demand, or subscribe to Armstrong and
getting on demand. You never miss anything.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
But Jeff Bezos was talking about how the media is
just in miserable shape in terms of people's trust of
the media. They have lower ratings than Congress, if you
can believe that. And Bezos was saying, hey, it's a
two step process. You've got to be fair or unbiased,
and you've got to be perceived as being fair and unbiased,
(24:18):
and they're equally true. And I thought that was a
very very good point. Likewise, and you can't get the
left to agree with this for good reason, in my opinion.
You have to have ballot security, dependable elections, and people
have to perceive that you have reliable elections. And the
second one is very very important, and so much to
(24:40):
the left wants to play fast and loose with that
sort of thing. And granted on the right, claims of
elections being stolen when it's not valid has run rampant too.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We really need to watch out for that. Absolutely, and
some of you, I'm sure think I'm naive, but I
don't believe that we're going to have because there's always shenanigans.
We're a big country. It'd be hard to have zero shnanics,
but enough to sway it one way or another, I'm
not I'm not really worried about that, hardly at all.
(25:08):
You will have some shenanigans and some incidents that appear shenanigus.
You break it down by party, it's different though. Seventy
percent of Harris voters are very confident, twenty five percent
somewhat confident. That add up to ninety five percent. You
get to Republican voters, though Trump voters only thirty four percent.
(25:30):
So it depends on which party you are. Oh yeah,
will you accept the outcome? Most say they will, but
not everybody. If Harris loses her supporters, eighty eight to
seven said they were prepared to accept the results. According
to this poll, if Trump loses his backers, sixty one
to twenty four would accept the vote the result. It's
(25:51):
over overwhelmingly will accept it, but a lot lower number
on that than on the air side. We'll see if
that holds true. Oh, we see if I'm not as
optimistic as the polling would suggest.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
One more note on the Fascist revival meeting at Madison
Square Garden. Perhaps you heard Trump had a rally there
which is really reminiscent of the nineteen thirty nine Fascist rally,
according to Newspeople with straight faces as we all, Gafaud
got this note from frequent correspondent Jeff Guys. Madison Square
(26:29):
Garden was opened in nineteen sixty eight. It's the fourth
venue to bear the name Madison Square Garden. The first two,
opened in eighteen seventy nine and eighteen ninety, respectively, were
located on Madison Square on East twenty sixth Street Madison Avenue,
with the third Madison Square Garden further uptown at eighth
Avenue and fiftieth Street, So technically speaking, it's not even
the same building. The one that hosted the American pro
(26:50):
Nazi rally was held at the third Madison Square Garden
on eighth Avenue between forty ninth and fiftieth. By the way,
Democrats held their nineteen seventy six Democratic National Convention at MSG,
they're nineteen eighty Democratic National Convention in the nineteen ninety
two Democratic National Convention at MSG. Acting like a political
rally at MSG is by necess but unavoidably reminiscent of
(27:13):
the Nazis is one of the most idiotic and hilarious
things ever uttered.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I am almost willing to say it is the single
dumbest thing to be a main topic of a presidential
election that I can remember in my life.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Not to pick a favorite, but that's it's an Alzheimer
Yes to people's opinions about violence.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Two thirds of those surveyed were concerned about the possibility
of political violence on election day and afterward. Well, it's
pretty vague concerned about the possibility. Yeah, I am, of course, Yeah,
I would. You're pretty optimistic if you're not even concerned
about the possibility, Okay, or you're in favor of it. True.
(27:52):
That includes twenty seven percent who are very concerned, thirty
nine percent who are somewhat concerned. Deep partisan divide. Again,
though nearly not and ten Harris supporters were worried about
the prospect of violence half a Trump supporter, so it's
almost all of Hair supporters. Only half of Trump supporters
worried about violence, even though other than January sixth.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
All of the political violence in recent years has come
from the left, practically all of it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Will there be a peaceful transition of powder depends on
who you have power, not powder. I gotta say the
correct words, or this is impossible to follow a piece
you like powder? Drugs up your butt? Stay with us?
Will there be a peaceful transfer of powder? I would
hope so? But of power? Three you try to hand
(28:38):
some of the talk them powder, they punch you in
the face. Yeah, that'd be awful. It's an American. Hey,
I've got some athletes foot would.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Just FOLLI, why did you do?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
That? Was not a peaceful transfer of powder? Right, nightmarish.
Three fourths of Trump supporters said there will be a
peaceful transfer of power. Sounds like good news. Ooh, of
course a quarter saying there won't be as probably te problematic.
Hair supporters weren't as sure. Only a third think there
(29:11):
will be. So all right, that's because you're doing the
whole January sixth will happen again thing? We'll see, We'll see.
It doesn't take a heck of a lot of people
to cause a lot of mayhem, though, So that's not sure.
What the point of me even reading those polls were
I mean, if you have it's like our thing about
jihadist Muslims. I mean, it can be five percent. But
(29:32):
if you know you got a really big population, that's enough.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
That's plenty. That's one hundred million people. Yeah, you got
a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Or even in an election wise, if it's ten thousand
people who want to be not peaceful in the transfer
of power, you got a problem on your hands. Speaking
of what I just mentioned, how is it not getting
more attention that a guy attacked a Jewish dude walking
to synagogue in Chicago, killed him right and started yelling
(30:04):
Allah akbar in a shootout with the cops. That would
have been the biggest story in America two thousand narrative
two thousand and three doesn't fit the narrative. The president
would have had to come out and speak about it.
He should today, of course the president can't really speak.
So there's that. Okay, we got to get to your
(30:26):
weird substory. It's important.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Next segment will be very difficult to take, but is
when one hundred percent accurate? Okay, all right, it's it's
the sort of thing you need to hear. Okay, And
I hope you can handle it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It's next you're gonna feel a little pregnant, and an
appeal to young men. AOC and Tim Waltz played Madden
Football online this weekend. They would have played Call of Duty,
but Waltz kept trying to run. Wow, eh, that's too much.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yeah yeah, uh so the question of taste versus accuracy
has come before us and telling the next tale, I
think I'm going to use the term b h.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Instead of Katie Well, Joe, Joe throw out during the
commercials how do we How do you feel about this term?
I grimaced in horror at the term, and he was
considering using on the air. It's just course, Katie laughed.
I've never for some reason, I've never minded the term,
butth ale a. It's just a different pronunciation.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
You're right, beth Ola, yes, b u t t h
o l e buth ola, yes, as they pronounce it
in France. So Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walls, who
at one point was the toast of the media, one
of the more pathetic chapters in American history for Colonia's opponents.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Weird, They're just weird. Oh here, Tim Walz called them weird.
That was so clever, got him perhaps got him the
vice presidency. Anyway, He gave taxpayer funds as Minnesota governor.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
To a nonprofit that provides booty bumping kids kits for
drug users to ingest drugs through quote the buth A Lay.
He gave out one hundred million dollars for one hundred
and thirty five nonprofit organizations to provide vital services to
homeless people like those states.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Like recreational party drugs are like if you got a headache,
that's how you take your ibprofen No, no, please grow up.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
It's the party drugs anyway, And like California, the point
is handing out the money to your cronies. It's not
that you expect to do anything about the so called
homeless problem, but the money is supporting a number of services,
including harm reduction for drug users at Southside Harm Reduction Services,
Minneapolis based nonprofit featured in Waltz's announcement. This was a
(32:53):
featured organization. The harm reduction service includes the provision of
kits that contain syringes, sterile water, rug ug cookers, and
lube that allow users to adjust drugs through the rectum
okay or as they explain, also known as the anus
or buth olay.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I don't like a lot of these words you're bringing,
and I feel like you enjoy it somehow, which is.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
The organization has touted the paraphernalia called booty bumping or
boofing kits in social media posts and on its website
is both a safer method to ingest some drugs and
an efficient way to get high, because you can't waste
time living on the sidewalk getting your waist on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Can't you just drink cors light? Do you have to
get lube and stuff and shove something up you to
have a good time on Friday night?
Speaker 4 (33:40):
May booty bump because drugs quote reached the bloodstream quickly,
allowing users to reach a high faster than some other
roots of administration.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
According to south Side Harm Reduction, okay, I've been so
blinded by your language. How does this I'm just getting started.
Oh my god, how does he funded it? He funded it? Okay, yes, yes,
as governor, brace yourselves people. Oh my god, no, that
was not the rough party quoting.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Try to poop before this is so your drugs are
absorbed better. South Side Harm Reduction advises in a pamphlet
contained in the kits Stand, squat or lay on your
side in a comfortable position. It never hurts to have
a boofing, buddy.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh mind your own damn business. Administration is giving three
point for ingesting the drugs, Stand, squat or line a go. Yes, okay,
I thought they were explaining how to poop, which most
of us have been familiar with for quite some time.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Oh really since our earliest days. Yes, No, indeed it
was about taking the drugs. Wall's administration is given three
point one million dollars to this outfit for syringe exchange
programs and other harm reduction initiatives, including the how to boof.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Right and kits and JD. Van's Is weird you you
provided Minnesotan's money for this for putting crack up their
hind ends. Yes, but you wanna do your thing first
so that absorbs quicker. Uh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
The movement has stoked some controversy because groups claiming to
provide harm reduction services often appear to condone, if not approve,
certain risky drug practices. That appears to be the case
with south Side Harm Reductions promotion of slamming, a practice
popular among some in the gay community in which you
users inject drugs such as methamphetamine while having sex.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
If you like slamming, it makes a lot of sense
to learn how to do it well. And this section
explains where to inject, the process, the technique, and all
the equipment you'll need. The covers brochure prominently displays a naked,
muscular man holding a giant syringe.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And what's the argument why government would need to put
out pamphlets to help people with this harm reduction? Harm reduction? Right?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
If you put drugs up your high end properly, you're
less like to like, have an overdose, So the government's
going to instruct you on how That is a crazy
view of the role of government.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
JD.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Vans is weird because he's got a wife and kids
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
If you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty un demanded Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. I'm strong and Jettie and
he armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
But I do feel like the general public they're waking
up to those parents' dads, moms. They don't want to
see their daughters lose out on opportunities and be forced
to undress in front of someone of the opposite sex
and their locker room. So I do think tides are turning.
There have been some sports governing bodies who have done
some good things World Athletics FINA, so I'm appreciating the
(00:46):
little steps, but I do believe the battle is nowhere
near being one.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's Charlie Gaines, who had to swim against a dude
in college, and she has become a big activist on
this whole transport issue. She was standing behind University of
Nevada Reno women's volleyball players on Saturday when they had
to hold a press conference to basically shame or force
their university into forfeiting because the university said, Nope, we're
(01:13):
gonna play, and the players were like, what, you don't
get to decide for us, We're not gonna get to
play against the dude who plays on San Jose State.
And it's become kind of a game for me since
we started talking about this. I really enjoy this game
of when you follow a mainstream news story about San
Jose San Jose State women's volleyball, whether they ever mention
(01:34):
what the issue is. News sources have started to decide
they need to cover it all the forfeits, but they
never mention why in any mainstream news story, which is weird, weird, cowardly, dishonest.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
So Riley Gaines is a co signer of a letter
with Jim Desmond, who is the supervisor fifth District of
San Diego County's Board of Supervisors, to San Diego State
University because they are going to be playing San Jose
State and their women's volleyball team that features a dude soon.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Jim, how are you, sir? Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Hey, thanks for having me this morning, Thanks for bringing
this up.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So, of course, why do you hate just my first
question full of hate? Fair questions?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
All right, No, no, not full of they just you know,
it's unfair competition. I mean this, you know, why even
discuss this? It's crazy to have, you know, men competing
in women's sports, and it only hurts the women, you know,
by them not being able to get scholarships or get
you know, get get the merits and awards that they
want or deserve. And these men are are getting into
(02:41):
these sports and taking it over it. It's you know,
Riley Gain signed on the letter, as you mentioned, also
Peyton McNabb who actually is permanently injured after being spiked
in the face by by a male volleyball player. So
you know, this is craziness. And you know, like she
had said earlier, Riley, that flew the tidest turning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
There are hundreds of medals, championships, scholarships that have been
won by dudes who say I'm a girl now and
have denied the female athletes those those accolades and those opportunities.
That is absolutely bizarre and obscene. What's the San Diego
State's current stance as far as you can tell, Jim, Well,
(03:24):
we're playing San Jose State and their guy.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah, yeah, well so far radio silence out of San
Diego State. And unfortunately, you know, I have a hunch,
being another California school, they may go ahead with it.
But haven't heard anything yet. Yeah, we haven't heard anything
yet from them, but we're hoping, you know, November ninth
is you know, after the election, hellelujah. But you know,
(03:48):
hopefully we'll get some traction and maybe some of the
teammates are will say, hey, we just don't want to
compete against this. And I'm glad five teams has already
you know, shut down and not agreed to play San
Jose States.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, yeah, quite a few teams. Quite a few teams
have forfeited. But some of the teams have said why.
But a number of the teams, way too many of
them don't say out loud why they're forfeiting, which I
find troubling.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, I think, Jim correct me if I'm wrong. Some
of them, some of the administrators are actually fearing running
a foul of their progressive states laws on protecting transgender people.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Well, absolutely, and that hence California, you know, doing that.
But I do think, you know, both sides of the
aisle people think this is crazy and outrageous and shouldn't
be taking place. And can't you know, even believe why
we're having to have this conversation. There's you know, anytime
there's a physical competition. Men are just more physically capable
(04:48):
than women, but you know, each in their own different ways,
and those sports should be protected.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's worth saluting some of the really courageous people in
this controversy, including the women, the young women who stood
up said we're not playing this game. Brooks Slusser, who
actually plays for San Jose State, has joined the lawsuit,
including eighteen women athletes, including Rigley Gaines. Gaines versus NC
Double A is filed in the Federal Court in the
(05:15):
Northern District of Georgia and March alleging the NC DOUBLEA
rules on transgender women violate their Title nine rights. This
is heading for the Supreme Court and I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, I'm glad Joe brought up the laws because I
thought it was just cowardice on the part of these
various schools that wouldn't say why they forfeited. But dependent
on where you live, there are laws protecting things you
say about transgender athletes or discriminating. I mean, if you
announced out loud, we're quitting because you got a dude
on your team, you'd be in violation of the law.
(05:46):
So that's a problem.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Right, Elections have consequences. Hey, I have one more note
on this topic. Jim as a former girls coach. I
can't shut up about this, and I won't shut up
about this ever. But there was a hit piece in
the San Francisco Chronicle, uh bashing miss Lusser who he
just mentioned, Brooks Slusser, written by one Marissa in Gemmi,
(06:11):
who's a sports writer who doesn't appear to have ever
played sports, which is not necessary to be a sports
writer at all.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You might just be a big fan and knowledgeable.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
But she is unquestionably an lgbt Q plus minus over
the power of three activist and is bashing a young
woman who has the courage to say it's women's sports.
I'm not playing against a dude. Shame on you, Marissa,
Shame on you, San Francisco Chronicle. Anyway, Jim Desmond of
(06:41):
the San Diego County Bord of Supervisors is on the line. Jim,
we talked you a lot about Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We did get this text. They could call the game
between San Diego and San Jose the Battle of the Bulge.
I don't feel like that's a helpful test. Well look
at that, he laughs. You're incouraging, You're or about that.
That's a really funny joke.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So anyway, we've talked to you, Jim about a lot
of immigration related topics because and it gets less publicity
for some reason than Texas, probably because Gavin Newsom is
a deep blue governor and pretends illegal immigration isn't a
troublesome thing. But San Diego is an epicenter of illegal immigration.
What's going on on that front in your world?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Well, we are back up above capacity for the number
of people coming across the San Diego section of the border,
and so we are beyond capacity. And we were actually
told in San Diego County about a week ago that
they were going to start the street drop offs again.
They stopped the street drop offs in June of this year.
(07:44):
Went from September of last year's June of this year.
It was about one hundred and fifty five thousand people
they dropped in our streets in June. Because of Biden's
executive order, they cut back on that. But now we're
back up beyond capacity, and so it's happening now. Instead
of doing the street dropoffs, they are shipping migrants to Yuma, Arizona,
about three bus loads a day and about one flight
(08:07):
a day to various points in Texas to.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Just drop them off and essentially say to these cities
and towns you deal with them.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, it's not good on anyway. I've spent a fair
amount of time in Yuma traveling. I get off the bus,
have fanks. What am I supposed to do here?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I would imagine there's a lot of non you know,
non government organizations and people that help them get on
their way or travel to wherever it is they're going.
But the optics, which is I really think the reason
they didn't start to drip off the street drop offs
again is the optics two weeks before an election, you know,
would have been terrible. And so what they're doing instead
of you know, dropping them on the streets, which quite
(08:49):
frankly we don't really want, but they're shipping them out quietly.
And so we were able to find this out from
our local border patrol agents and telling us and actually,
you know, we got pictures of impoarding airplanes. They don't
go through the terminal at San Diego Airport there on
the cargo side, and so they don't have to They're
not seen as much as they board the airplanes and
(09:12):
get shipped.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Out, Wow, it's unbelievable. Jim Desmond of the fifth Districts
of San Diego County. Jim, we appreciate the time. Keep
us up to date as news breaks and developments occur.
We'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Hey, thanks a lot. Jack and Joe appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh, it's our pleasure as always. Thanks. If Trump wins,
it's going to be in large part because of the
immigration issue, which a number of people saw coming years ago,
but they weren't able to get there. The Democrats were
not able to get their arms around it. Probably on purpose.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, and there's ambivalents on the Republican side in the
halls of power. As we've discussed many times. Don't let
the rhetoric fool you. The Republicans are way better on
immigration than Democrats, but for reasons we've discussed again behind
the scenes, the protected class, the the moneyed class. They
want the immigrants. They just need to keep it cool
enough that the rest of us don't go crazy. Back
(10:07):
to the battle of a bulge. So you think where
the rubber is going to meet the road is there's
going to be somebody file a title nine. Thing about
women in sports on behalf of no dudes in sports,
and then it will butt up against one of these
pro trans laws where you can't deny a trands athlete
(10:29):
their human rights or something like that, and that the
two have to be enclashed and then climb up.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You think that's.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
No, No, it won't be necessary because the eighteen athletes
have already filed that federal lawsuit are so clearly going
to win that federal law superseding state law and title
line superseding anything the Gavin Newsom's of the world can
cook up. Then there will be no more dudes in
women's sports. How quickly do you think that will have,
at least at the collegiate level. I think the Soups
(10:57):
have agreed to look at a case. I can't remember
which one this term or maybe next term, you know what.
I'll look that up and get back to you. But
it'll be within the next year, I think.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
And Clarence Thomas is going to say, does this female
volleyball player have a penis?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yes, your honor. That seems like a clearcutcase to be done.
That could happen.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
How do you like this instead of the Battle of
the bulge, The headline is too many balls on the court.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Three balls is too many for volleyball. Exactly. There you go.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That's the subhead. Hey, quick word from our friends. That's
simply save home security. If you're like us, the safety
of your home and your loved ones isn't just a priority,
it's everything. Probably is old school home security systems just
take action once somebody's already inside your home. Simply save
home securities. Changing that with its new Active Guard outdoor protection.
It's the only home security designed to prevent crimes before
(11:55):
they happen.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Twenty four to seven. Monitoring agents keeping a close watch
over your property can actually top crimes before they happen.
Talk directly to the intruder, sound aloud, siren, flash lights,
even alert the police. That's pretty cool, but listen to this.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
These cameras used advanced AI to tell the difference between
friendly faces like family and neighbors to potential threats ooching
around trying to get in, so they can alert agents
to suspicious individuals before they get close to your home.
Holy cow, that's good stuff. Protect your home with fifty
percent off a new simply Safe system plus a free
indoor security camera when you sign up for fast protect monitoring,
(12:31):
which is just about a buck at day. Visit simply
safe dot com slash Armstrong. That's simply safe dot com
slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I think one ball on the court at any given
time is enough. I'm Clarencete.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Tell you what this Clarence Thomas bit. You gotta take
it on the road like one of those Mark Twain
one man show this kid stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Michael. He's cracking up in there, Yeah, really enjoying it. Wow.
What are Americans thoughts on whether or not they trust
the vote count or whether or not there's going to
be violence after the election, which is one week from today.
We have some of the pulling on that, among other things.
Stay tuned, Armstrong, Andy Conal Harris had a rally with Beyonce.
(13:18):
I cannot wait to hear she'll do that better than me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Your vote is one of the most valuable tools and
we need you.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
No, no, no singing, just a heartfelt statement of the
importance of the election.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'm voting for Trump. That's just I don't I don't
know if that was a mistake or what like if
it The media went really big Friday on Beyonce is
perform at Conala rally, and then she spoke for like
a minute, walked off. I don't know. I don't know
if it was bait and switch or what. Who cares.
(14:08):
So Trump's doing a press conference right now, full on
press conference, with all of the opposing press asking him
all kinds of hard questions. Kamala has never done that once.
She's had a few gaggles here and there with friendly
people she trusts, but she's never stood up there with
the full press corps taking questions for obvious reasons. As
(14:29):
we're about to hear, this is the way she handles stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Here.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
She is Nora O'Donnell, who is obviously a friendly if
we if you watch the debate norah' donald on CBS
News interview in Kamala Harris, this is on the abortion topic.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You have been clear that that is a priority, but
what you have not been clear on is what that
bill would look like.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
You've talked about restoring rods, very clear. You've not said
less restrictions you would support.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Let's put back in place for Roe versus Wade, this
was not an issue. Wrote when Roe versus Wade was
intact for fifty years half a century, so you're able to.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
Restrictions after viability.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
I support Roe versus Wade being put back into law
by Congress and to restore the fundamental right of women
to make decisions about their own body.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It is that basic.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So then why not say what restrictions you would support?
Is part of that I've told you. And when you
put back in place Roe v.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Wade.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And when you argue that Donald Trump, if elected, would
put forward a national abortion band.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Just read Project twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
The former president said that's not true.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
He says everything, Come on, are we really taking his
word for it?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So so interesting and revealing.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So it was an interesting thing to watch because there
was a stare down there for a couple of uncomfortable
seconds where accomplish is I told you, with kind of
a glare like how Terry, why do you keep pressing
me on this? And Nora was looking at her like, no,
you haven't, I'm asking three times, which I think it
(16:04):
was fine for her to move on at that point.
I think it was the classic Tim Russer unmeet the
press back in the day, You've made it clear to
your audience they're not answering the question. I mean, you've
pursued it several times, all right.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
What the part I find so interesting is that to
she's actually carved out a pretty moderate position saying I
want to Roevy Wade and shrined in federal law, which
is very much first trimester okay, up to a certain
point as the baby comes anywhere close to viable. No,
you can't kill the baby unless there is a super
compelling reason.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is Roe v Wade.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
But she dare not admit that Roe v Wade contains
any limitations because of.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Her extremist wing. I guess.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I mean, anybody knows anything about Roe v Wade understands
that the limits are are a big part of it,
but she can't admit that.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Oh right, yeah, I got I guess. Or I actually
thought that is the for time I've ever thought that
she just doesn't know. Maybe has she not gone deep
enough on this to know what the restrictions are that
can't be.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Or is she just that hyper cautious and the whole
even Trump has said over and over again, I would
veto that law, I would not sign it. And I
Project twenty twenty five, which is QAnon for lefties, got
nothing to do with me, but she's continuing to hammer that.
You don't offer stupid, ridiculous arguments because you're keeping the
good ones fresh.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Right, And if she ever did a press conference like
Trump's doing right now, you know the media could piggyback
and just keep hammering on an issue where she'd really
be in an uncomfortable situation, which is why she doesn't
do these sorts of press conferences. Right, So you're comfortable
with the limits that are included in Roe v. Wade.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I support enshrining Roe v. Wade as federal law. Okay,
all right, right, we all get to vote.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I still have my samevalues. My values haven't changed. Okay,
So you're not going to call my positions. You're not
going to say anything about fracking, We get it. How
do people feel about election days? They're going to be writing.
Will they believe the vote count? We've got some polling
on that, arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
In Vancouver, Washington, officials say hundreds of ballots were destroyed
when they went up in smoke after a fire suppression
system inside did not work as it should have. A
small number of ballots were also damaged. In Portland, Oregon,
investigators believe this vehicle is connected to both fires, and
they're investigating a third similar incident at another nearby ballot
(18:38):
box earlier this month. This as the Department of Homeland
Security warns some individuals online are now calling for the
sabotage of ballot drop boxes.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So that's not a good development. Luckily, that's in two
states where it's not going to be close likely, But
you get that sort of thing happening in Pennsylvania or
Georgia and the elections close.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, these people have cars and plane tickets. It wouldn't
surprise me if it does. And acting like it's a
big mystery, Okay, In a couple of conservative suburbs of Portland,
you have ballots being set aflame gee, who lights.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Things on fire around Portland? Let me think you could
have people on the right absolutely upset about that. Obviously,
here's some people on the left. Here's AOC.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
It's very important for people to understand that these are
many January sixth rallies.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So she said, Trump's rally at Madison Square Gardens Sunday
night was a mini January sixth rally. Kamala is on
the Ellipse in DC today for her big speech where
She's gonna really drive home the point that Trump is
Hitler fascist. Remember January sixth, et cetera. Other things to
worry about if Trump gets in with Project twenty twenty five.
Here's wio Be Goldberg, all.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Of you walking about you.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
It's up. He's not going to be see not gonna
you know, say.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Oh, you're with a white guy. I'm gonna keep you
from being deported.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
No, you're gonna to.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Port you and put the white guy with someone else.
The man is out there. He part of Project twenty
five is gonna lead toward the end of interracial relationships.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
What because he's gonna deport the dark person, so somebody else,
presumably a white person, can fill that role. I'm having
more and more trouble understanding whoopees fever dreams.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
There's a lot of nutpicking that goes on on both sides.
That's when you take the most extremest nut job views,
present them, and then act like that's what everybody on
the other side believes. And I never know which is
which if it's a good I mean, there's a reason
they do focus groups, right See, you talk to some
people and then you extrapolate that that's what people believe.
(20:54):
What is nutpicking and what is a focus group? I
don't know. I don't know how you draw the line.
I don't think quoting the hosts of the view is
nut picking. You don't no Whoopy's a nut?
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Well, yeah she is, but she's not a carefully picked nut.
That's the point. If I walk into one of the
many almond orchards in central California and say that's a nut,
I'm not nut picking. The Democratic Party is an orchard
full of nuts.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
As you have said for years, that's a horrible term.
We need to come up with a better tone. I know,
I know. I barely let it go when you said it. Oh,
speaking of witch sounds like TikTok craze for high school boys.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Coming up, coming up. I am so torn. The nastier
I phrase this, the funnier it is. But to be overtly,
gratuitously nasty for you good folks, you decent folks, you god.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
And country people.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You don't need nasty talk in your ears. So I'm torn. Michael,
do you have any thoughts?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
If it makes you grin, leave way to run against type. Michael, Wow,
what a jackass. Anyway, he's going to go. I'm going
to go with a reasonably clean version. Okay, okay, if
you enjoyed putting drugs up here, butt vote, Harris Walls, Boy,
(22:34):
what's that get to do with a goofing? Jack? Staying
your business for boofing? Polling on how people feel about
election day, which is one week from to day, and
if Trump wins the way polls show he could will
know at the latest on Wednesday afternoon, but if it
goes any other direction, it could be quite a few
(22:57):
days or weeks. You know, they don't. I don't start
hand counting Pennsylvania ballots till that morning. For instance. Do
you trust the vote count? This is good news? Nearly
eight and ten voters do. According to the USA Today
Suffolk University poll, nearly eighty percent of people you got
(23:18):
about forty percent very competent, confident, not competent, about thirty
six percent somewhat confident, which adds up to about eighty
percent of people feeling pretty good about it. Although one
out of five people not believing the vote count is
enough for a revolution. Really, that's dangerous. Certainly, where are
you on that? I would be I'm a very confident.
(23:39):
I'm very confident. Yeah, I'm very confident too. I'm toward
the lower end of very confident. I'm reminded. Excuse me.
And we'll be talking about this again next hour. If
you don't get Next Hour, grab it via podcast later
Armstrong and getting on demand, or subscribe to Armstrong and
getting on demand. You never miss anything.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
But Jeff Bezos was talking about how the media is
just in miserable shape in terms of people's trust of
the media. They have lower ratings than Congress, if you
can believe that. And Bezos was saying, hey, it's a
two step process. You've got to be fair or unbiased,
and you've got to be perceived as being fair and unbiased,
(24:18):
and they're equally true. And I thought that was a
very very good point. Likewise, and you can't get the
left to agree with this for good reason, in my opinion.
You have to have ballot security, dependable elections, and people
have to perceive that you have reliable elections. And the
second one is very very important, and so much to
(24:40):
the left wants to play fast and loose with that
sort of thing. And granted on the right, claims of
elections being stolen when it's not valid has run rampant too.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We really need to watch out for that. Absolutely, and
some of you, I'm sure think I'm naive, but I
don't believe that we're going to have because there's always shenanigans.
We're a big country. It'd be hard to have zero shnanics,
but enough to sway it one way or another, I'm
not I'm not really worried about that, hardly at all.
(25:08):
You will have some shenanigans and some incidents that appear shenanigus.
You break it down by party, it's different though. Seventy
percent of Harris voters are very confident, twenty five percent
somewhat confident. That add up to ninety five percent. You
get to Republican voters, though Trump voters only thirty four percent.
(25:30):
So it depends on which party you are. Oh yeah,
will you accept the outcome? Most say they will, but
not everybody. If Harris loses her supporters, eighty eight to
seven said they were prepared to accept the results. According
to this poll, if Trump loses his backers, sixty one
to twenty four would accept the vote the result. It's
(25:51):
over overwhelmingly will accept it, but a lot lower number
on that than on the air side. We'll see if
that holds true. Oh, we see if I'm not as
optimistic as the polling would suggest.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
One more note on the Fascist revival meeting at Madison
Square Garden. Perhaps you heard Trump had a rally there
which is really reminiscent of the nineteen thirty nine Fascist rally,
according to Newspeople with straight faces as we all, Gafaud
got this note from frequent correspondent Jeff Guys. Madison Square
(26:29):
Garden was opened in nineteen sixty eight. It's the fourth
venue to bear the name Madison Square Garden. The first two,
opened in eighteen seventy nine and eighteen ninety, respectively, were
located on Madison Square on East twenty sixth Street Madison Avenue,
with the third Madison Square Garden further uptown at eighth
Avenue and fiftieth Street, So technically speaking, it's not even
the same building. The one that hosted the American pro
(26:50):
Nazi rally was held at the third Madison Square Garden
on eighth Avenue between forty ninth and fiftieth. By the way,
Democrats held their nineteen seventy six Democratic National Convention at MSG,
they're nineteen eighty Democratic National Convention in the nineteen ninety
two Democratic National Convention at MSG. Acting like a political
rally at MSG is by necess but unavoidably reminiscent of
(27:13):
the Nazis is one of the most idiotic and hilarious
things ever uttered.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I am almost willing to say it is the single
dumbest thing to be a main topic of a presidential
election that I can remember in my life.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Not to pick a favorite, but that's it's an Alzheimer
Yes to people's opinions about violence.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Two thirds of those surveyed were concerned about the possibility
of political violence on election day and afterward. Well, it's
pretty vague concerned about the possibility. Yeah, I am, of course, Yeah,
I would. You're pretty optimistic if you're not even concerned
about the possibility, Okay, or you're in favor of it. True.
(27:52):
That includes twenty seven percent who are very concerned, thirty
nine percent who are somewhat concerned. Deep partisan divide. Again,
though nearly not and ten Harris supporters were worried about
the prospect of violence half a Trump supporter, so it's
almost all of Hair supporters. Only half of Trump supporters
worried about violence, even though other than January sixth.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
All of the political violence in recent years has come
from the left, practically all of it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Will there be a peaceful transition of powder depends on
who you have power, not powder. I gotta say the
correct words, or this is impossible to follow a piece
you like powder? Drugs up your butt? Stay with us?
Will there be a peaceful transfer of powder? I would
hope so? But of power? Three you try to hand
(28:38):
some of the talk them powder, they punch you in
the face. Yeah, that'd be awful. It's an American. Hey,
I've got some athletes foot would.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Just FOLLI, why did you do?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
That? Was not a peaceful transfer of powder? Right, nightmarish.
Three fourths of Trump supporters said there will be a
peaceful transfer of power. Sounds like good news. Ooh, of
course a quarter saying there won't be as probably te problematic.
Hair supporters weren't as sure. Only a third think there
(29:11):
will be. So all right, that's because you're doing the
whole January sixth will happen again thing? We'll see, We'll see.
It doesn't take a heck of a lot of people
to cause a lot of mayhem, though, So that's not sure.
What the point of me even reading those polls were
I mean, if you have it's like our thing about
jihadist Muslims. I mean, it can be five percent. But
(29:32):
if you know you got a really big population, that's enough.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
That's plenty. That's one hundred million people. Yeah, you got
a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Or even in an election wise, if it's ten thousand
people who want to be not peaceful in the transfer
of power, you got a problem on your hands. Speaking
of what I just mentioned, how is it not getting
more attention that a guy attacked a Jewish dude walking
to synagogue in Chicago, killed him right and started yelling
(30:04):
Allah akbar in a shootout with the cops. That would
have been the biggest story in America two thousand narrative
two thousand and three doesn't fit the narrative. The president
would have had to come out and speak about it.
He should today, of course the president can't really speak.
So there's that. Okay, we got to get to your
(30:26):
weird substory. It's important.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Next segment will be very difficult to take, but is
when one hundred percent accurate? Okay, all right, it's it's
the sort of thing you need to hear. Okay, And
I hope you can handle it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
It's next you're gonna feel a little pregnant, and an
appeal to young men. AOC and Tim Waltz played Madden
Football online this weekend. They would have played Call of Duty,
but Waltz kept trying to run. Wow, eh, that's too much.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Yeah yeah, uh so the question of taste versus accuracy
has come before us and telling the next tale, I
think I'm going to use the term b h.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Instead of Katie Well, Joe, Joe throw out during the
commercials how do we How do you feel about this term?
I grimaced in horror at the term, and he was
considering using on the air. It's just course, Katie laughed.
I've never for some reason, I've never minded the term,
butth ale a. It's just a different pronunciation.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
You're right, beth Ola, yes, b u t t h
o l e buth ola, yes, as they pronounce it
in France. So Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walls, who
at one point was the toast of the media, one
of the more pathetic chapters in American history for Colonia's opponents.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Weird, They're just weird. Oh here, Tim Walz called them weird.
That was so clever, got him perhaps got him the
vice presidency. Anyway, He gave taxpayer funds as Minnesota governor.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
To a nonprofit that provides booty bumping kids kits for
drug users to ingest drugs through quote the buth A Lay.
He gave out one hundred million dollars for one hundred
and thirty five nonprofit organizations to provide vital services to
homeless people like those states.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Like recreational party drugs are like if you got a headache,
that's how you take your ibprofen No, no, please grow up.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
It's the party drugs anyway, And like California, the point
is handing out the money to your cronies. It's not
that you expect to do anything about the so called
homeless problem, but the money is supporting a number of services,
including harm reduction for drug users at Southside Harm Reduction Services,
Minneapolis based nonprofit featured in Waltz's announcement. This was a
(32:53):
featured organization. The harm reduction service includes the provision of
kits that contain syringes, sterile water, rug ug cookers, and
lube that allow users to adjust drugs through the rectum
okay or as they explain, also known as the anus
or buth olay.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I don't like a lot of these words you're bringing,
and I feel like you enjoy it somehow, which is.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
The organization has touted the paraphernalia called booty bumping or
boofing kits in social media posts and on its website
is both a safer method to ingest some drugs and
an efficient way to get high, because you can't waste
time living on the sidewalk getting your waist on.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Can't you just drink cors light? Do you have to
get lube and stuff and shove something up you to
have a good time on Friday night?
Speaker 4 (33:40):
May booty bump because drugs quote reached the bloodstream quickly,
allowing users to reach a high faster than some other
roots of administration.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
According to south Side Harm Reduction, okay, I've been so
blinded by your language. How does this I'm just getting started.
Oh my god, how does he funded it? He funded it? Okay, yes, yes,
as governor, brace yourselves people. Oh my god, no, that
was not the rough party quoting.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Try to poop before this is so your drugs are
absorbed better. South Side Harm Reduction advises in a pamphlet
contained in the kits Stand, squat or lay on your
side in a comfortable position. It never hurts to have
a boofing, buddy.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh mind your own damn business. Administration is giving three
point for ingesting the drugs, Stand, squat or line a go. Yes, okay,
I thought they were explaining how to poop, which most
of us have been familiar with for quite some time.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Oh really since our earliest days. Yes, No, indeed it
was about taking the drugs. Wall's administration is given three
point one million dollars to this outfit for syringe exchange
programs and other harm reduction initiatives, including the how to boof.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Right and kits and JD. Van's Is weird you you
provided Minnesotan's money for this for putting crack up their
hind ends. Yes, but you wanna do your thing first
so that absorbs quicker. Uh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
The movement has stoked some controversy because groups claiming to
provide harm reduction services often appear to condone, if not approve,
certain risky drug practices. That appears to be the case
with south Side Harm Reductions promotion of slamming, a practice
popular among some in the gay community in which you
users inject drugs such as methamphetamine while having sex.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
If you like slamming, it makes a lot of sense
to learn how to do it well. And this section
explains where to inject, the process, the technique, and all
the equipment you'll need. The covers brochure prominently displays a naked,
muscular man holding a giant syringe.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And what's the argument why government would need to put
out pamphlets to help people with this harm reduction? Harm reduction? Right?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
If you put drugs up your high end properly, you're
less like to like, have an overdose, So the government's
going to instruct you on how That is a crazy
view of the role of government.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
JD.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Vans is weird because he's got a wife and kids
and stuff.
