Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm disgusted what's happened in this country. I'm disgusted by
the Supine Congress. I'm disgusted by how the private sector
is conducting themselves. I'm disgusted by universities selling their soul
in law firms.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's Gavin Newsom who is disgusted. He's the governor of California.
He's about to have a huge political win this coming
Tuesday when he's going to get this prop fifty over
the line and read Jerrymander California.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
But more on that later. Okay, Yeah, I've got a
couple of the greatest takedowns of Gavvy boy I've ever
come across, including one from an old friend of the
show who's a man of the left. So looking forward
to that to cal Unicornians and all who fear king
Gavin standing astride America someday he yikes a as I

(01:08):
often say, don't you threaten me anyway, So, speaking of
the left, love Matt Tayebee, who is a man of
the left. He's a brilliant writer. You know, he's one
of those guys I disagree with him about twenty five
percent of the time, but his point of view is
always intriguing. And he's writing about that geek up in
Maine with the Nazi tattoo, but more about Zoron Mumdami.

(01:33):
Because Matt grew up in a comfortable Northeastern household and
was sent to expensive boarding schools, and then he hits
the job market and he realizes he had no skills
at all having gone through that sort of education. That's
really interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
His dad was a famous reporter for CBS News. One
of the newscasts I watched as a kid. His dad,
I'm whoever taybye. So he grew up with that lifestyle.
But then he got out of college and thought, what
am I going to do?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
That's interesting, right, And he thought, yeah, I'd go with
the family business of journalism. But he hadn't really studied it,
so he had to start from the bottom. But here's
where it gets really interesting. Across the next decade or
so of embarrassed residency abroad, because he went to live
in several foreign countries, I saw that real working class
people don't have the luxury to send their kids away
to whack themselves off in intellectual spas it's understood that

(02:28):
large percentages of young people will be needed to design
the next generation's roads, water treatment plants, refrigerators, etc. Living
in places like Mongolia. Who Isbekistan also introduced me to
the idea that less than extravagantly wealthy countries don't have
the luxury of sending class after class of their best
young minds through curricula devoted to deconstructing the core premises

(02:51):
of their society. In other words, in the rest of
the world, rational social planning not only results in fewer
kids studying pure theory, but the theorist those countries do
graduate are far less inclined to spend their lives denouncing
their home countries as forces of historical evil. That's good, Yeah,
it's it's a luxury of the self ego grandizing rich

(03:18):
to be self hating and hate their countries. As I've
said many times, that's like the highest standard of showing
how enlightened you are. If you despise yourself, your country,
your religion, the rest of it, it's.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
So you're you're so safe from attack from another country,
the water's so clean, the economy is so stable, the
government is so stable. Because the government and all of
that has allowed you to decide this is a horrible country.
That's right, an interesting turnaround. That's a luxury.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, he goes on in countries where the bulk of
people have to be concerned with survival, getting enough to eat,
not being conquered by rival nations or revolutionaries, and holding
crime and corruption to hole levels. Colleges don't teach kids
how they're citizens of oppressor nations that should probably be disbanded.
They certainly wouldn't do it if they lucked into the
benefits of citizenship in a country like the United States.

(04:11):
This country has problems, even serious ones. But it's not
like gangsters are setting up freelance toll booths on I
ninety five for West coasters. That's the equivalent of High
five on the East coast. Or the strip stake you
ordered at Ponderosa has a good chance of being cat meat.
The reference that amuse Jack a great deal.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yesterday, I'm not certain that that is a as solid
as he.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Thinks, but they have Atturney's moving along. Citizens of countries
that have known true suckage, including especially the ones with
Marxist or Maoist histories, laugh at the things Americans call problems.
The only people who think the system that to produce
the richest, safest empire in history is essentially unfixable are

(04:54):
America's own wealthy, who's current disdain for their own good
fortune is like a political version of Heroin.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
K Yeah, that is so damn true that crowd does
not realize how hard it is to turn around, or
would be to turn around if real corruption ever sets
in in your city, state, or federal government.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Which it would immediately with socialism. Sure, right now, he
turns his attention to mister Mamdani, the Marxist Islamist who
may well be the mayor of New York City.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Zornani correct, anyway, right, this is what we're seeing now,
in particular with the Mamdani campaign, which to a hilarious degree,
is manna from heaven for Trump.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Mamdani is the face of the new brand of socialism
that embraces the preamble theme of the Communist Manifesto, in
which all of society is divided into oppressor and oppressed.
Illegal immigration isn't a problem that needs to be contained
in order to make social programming for citizens affordable. As
Bernie Sanders wants to pull even probably still does, but
because immigration laws are inherently oppressive, So as Mudamie now proposes,

(06:06):
let's spend one hundred and sixty five million dollars making
New York quote the strongest sanctuary city in the country.
Tybi goes on, let's not fix police violence by ending
stats based enforcement, for instance, or doing away with broken
windows theory, but let's tweet things like quote Queer liberation
means defunding the police. Mamdannie says he no longer favors defunding,

(06:27):
but be your own judge. A gods is gonna end
up mayor of the most important city in the world
with the slogan what was that about that last? Queer
liberation means defunding the police. Queer liberation means defunding the police?
What the hell? And then he quotes another journalist who's

(06:50):
writing about it. In twenty twenty two, Mamdannie declared of
his political career, and again in twenty twenty two. Friends,
for me, there's no point in doing this without the DSA,
say the Democratic Socialists of America, favor full amnesty for
legal immigrants, all of them, including the criminals, abolishment of
the Senate, voting rights for non citizens, and public ownership

(07:11):
of major corporations. Since he won the nomination, he has
softened on some of these points, but remains a DSA
member and fan. New Yorkers can decide if he's sincere.
And I'll return to my frequently stated theme, marxistsly all
the time because people don't expect somebody to lie so
clearly to their face. He still believes all that stuff.

(07:32):
Then we're getting towards the end. But then there's Mundami's Gamut,
in which he decided to speak to Muslims in New York,
telling a story about an aunt quote who stopped taking
the subway after September eleventh because she did not feel
safe in her job. And Taibi describes it some length.
He lived in New York City at that time, and
he said there was an incredible level of amity and

(07:52):
cooperation between most of the cities Muslims and non Muslim residents,
and the numbers bear this out. New York has always
been a liberal, welcoming city always. And if I might
depart for a moment, and we talked about this briefly earlier.
Mamdonnie was talking about the victims of nine to eleven,
and he spent zero time on the mommies and daddies'

(08:14):
sons and daughters who died in fire when those planes
hit the building, or the mommies and daddies who died
and good honest, hard work in people who died in
the towers. He said not a word about the NYPD
and the NYFD, the firefighters who gave us one of
the greatest examples of heroism in American history, said not

(08:35):
a word. His only tear was for his fictional aunt,
who may have felt somewhat nervous getting on the subway
in her his job. That's Mam Donnie's view of nine
to eleven all the way, I will calm down momentarily
all the people on those planes. Anyway, For a likely
future Muslim mayor of New York to even remotely implied

(08:57):
that Muslims in New York were victims of nine to
eleven is infuriating lunacy. Unfortunately, it fits the aforementioned oppressor
and oppressed mindset in which a marginalized community always holds
the moral high card over people who built your roads, bridges,
and ports and put out your fires once you see
attendees of seventy five thousand dollars boarding schools talking about

(09:20):
the need to arm the proletariat, and a candidate for
mayor of the World's Financial Center talked about perhaps toning
down the rhetoric on seizing the means of production so
that over time we can bring people to that issue.
That's a quote. It's clear neo Marxist idiocies have been
allowed to gain a stronghold. Go ahead, Jack, if you
want to. That is something. There are quotes there I
have not heard.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
The mainstream media has done a bad job of covering
this guy because they sympathize with him.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Uh, it's clear neo Marxist idiocees have been allowed to
gain a stronghold. Only people who don't know how hard
it is to build a society think this way. But
the number of such people is growing, ironically because of
the edge occasional system.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well this is big in mind, very burky in screed
from the left leaning Taibee.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh yeah, yeah. Finally, the liberal left in this country
used to be about searching for ways to moderate the
excesses of capitalism, creating more opportunities for social mobility and
promoting tolerance and generosity. Instead, we're in the quote upper
class twits promoting revolution space, a script with much which
most of the rest of the world is sadly familiar.

(10:28):
Is there no defense against the ignorant rich God? That's
right blank and tayeebee for the Win's it's interesting to
me that he.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Traveled the world and came away with that.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
That man.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
We should really be lucky for our stable society because
it's really hard to get one going. Whereas most people
I know who travel the world, and it probably has
a lot to do with like where you stay, what
you look at, what you choose to do when you're
in that country, They come away with these other places
are so much better.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Why do we have to be the way we are.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I've been to all these different countries and they're fantastic
because you're stay in a nice hotel and needed a
nice restaurant and go to.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
The museum right right. And you overlook the fact that
the United States has provided a military umbrella to free
up their social systems for decades now. In the mold
of the post WW two carnage which is long since gone. Yeah,
I know that's brilliant, absolutely brilliant stuff, Matt Taibi. I
think you might get paywall. I'd love to post this

(11:32):
for you at Armstrong and getty dot com. We'll do it.
If you want to subscribe to his substack. You can
if you want. But that's brilliant hey, on that topic,
and this is beautiful timing. Every year, for the last
quite a few years, our listeners have come together for
the warriors who have so bravely served and sacrificed for
our country. I want to remind you that next Thursday,
the sixth, is the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station and you'll

(11:54):
give a thon YEP.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has helped to assist ill and
injured warrior transition to civilian life with dignity, independence and
hope for the past twenty one years. And during the givathon,
we have one mission and that's the fly Warriors home
for the holidays, because no one should be alone during
the holidays.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Especially those who've sacrificed so much for our freedom. Your
tax deductible donation is a heartfelt thank you and ensures
our warriors get to wake up with their loved ones
on Christmas morning, and for those not healthy enough to travel,
their families are flown to San Diego to be at
Warrior Foundation Freedom Station.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
So if you want to learn more and donate, you
should go to Warrior Foundation dot org.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's the best way to do it. Go to Warrior
Foundation dot org. If you want to kick at old school,
you can call six one nine Warrior. That's six one
nine Warrior, or again get the name right Warrior Foundation
dot org.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
The Burkean reference Edmund Burke, if you don't know that,
considered the father of modern conservatism. It's basically the idea
that if you have created a safe, stable society, don't
take that for granted. It is really, really really hard
to do, and you start messing with it and it
could come apart quickly and take centuries or a thousand

(13:06):
years to build up again. And that's basically Matt Taibe
is saying to the whatever that last line was about
the comfortable rich, thinking that.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
If they're no defense against the ignorant rich, were in
the upper class twits promoting revolution space.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, you want to have a revolution against a safe, stable, happy,
most successful society and world history you idiots.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
The chances that what is created will be far worse
are ninety nine point eight out of one hundred. Man
nodding up the way, wits stay here, he's.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Uh, he's on the prow There an urgent surge to
find three lab monkeys still on the loose the primates
gave Tuesday afternoon when a trunk carrying them crashed on
the interstate in Jasper.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
County, Mississippi.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Tulane clarify, saying while they provide monkeys for research, the
primates in question belong to another entity and are not infectious.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Sure, of course, I'll believe you two Lane University. Of
course your research. Monkeys that escaped don't have AIDS, chlamydia, COVID,
bed sores.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Whatever else. Hepatitis A through f right. They're loose on
the product syndrome, right, monkeys.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
With restless leg syndrome running around biting people. Yeah, chronic
fatigue thing. But say there's just two monkeys out there
on the loose now, so they got most of them?

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Two or three? Yeah? Three?

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I guess, yeah, get them all. Like you said yesterday,
let's let's get a good head count. Everybody, count up, that's.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Count them all. Make sure we got all of them,
every single one of them. It's tough, boss. They keep moving. Yeah.
Yesterday they were saying there was just one left, and
today it's three. Tomorrow it'll be a dozen, right right, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
And monkey news, which I don't think I've ever said before,
and other monkey news.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
This happened a pet monkey spooking customers at a halloween store.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
My daughter looked up and she said, what in the world,
And she's like, is that a real monkey?

Speaker 5 (15:17):
The animals seems swinging, crawling, and darting around, turning the
store into a jungle gem. Ultimately caught not with a
banana but with a cookie.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh, I got that reporter swinging, crawling, and darting around,
not with a banana, but with a cookie, turning a.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Star into a jungle jam. I bet she was praised
lavishly for the creativity of that report too.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Why'd you deliver it like veda swinging, crawling and darting
around the monkeys?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Oh that was on NBC Nightly News. Yes, well, well
that's funny. I thought it was a local report. Hey, hey,
were the monkeys? Hey? Wow?

Speaker 3 (15:56):
He would be a little confused if you've been in
one of those big box store Halloween things. You see
a monkey, you'd assume there's a child in a monkey
costume to tell you think it's a very realistic looking costume,
and then it bites your fingers.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Off, close your eyes out. I want to hear my
favorite headline of the day. Director of Las Vegas committee
tackling DUI issues faces a dui charge. Oh wow, boys,
you got to find a new director or I don't know,
maybe they're earlier an expert. How did I think about it?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Here's my famous favorite serious story. The news outlet being
quoted as Falcone, which I don't really know that news outlet.
It's a south of the board. Hold on, I got
a sore throat. I'm sneezing.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Pet a monkey yesterday, loose monkey in the neighborhood. Didn't
think twice about it. Pete bit me.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Now, I got a sore throat and I'm sneezing. I
wouldn't anyway about it. This news outlet Falcone that is
being quoted in Breitbart. Venezuelan and fishermen say they fear
socialist repression more than Trump anti drug operations. And this
seems I mean, these are very legitimate sounding quotes from
I don't know this news organization at all, but these

(17:10):
fishermen saying they're way more worried about the local police
arresting them out of nowhere and making them, you know,
pay them off, sure for a variety of things in
the way that socialist regimes do, than they are worried
about getting blasted out of the water by Trump.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah. Well, and this one's especially interesting his regime because
it's kind of a quasi socialist regime. It's also half
a drug cartel. They are in bed with and financed
by the what are the solale of Trump always mentions
trender Aragua, but they're actually more closely aligned with this
other drug cartel. But yeah, they're they're it's a mafioso outfit.

(17:49):
Oh yeah, and so fake socialist.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
And yesterday had the story that the Nobel Peace Prize
winner that opposition leader there in Venezuela said she she
loves the fact that Trump is pushing for regime change.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, finally somebody's woken up, she said, to the fact
that this is not a conventional regime. It's a drug
cartel running a country for its own profit.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
The shutdown continues which we've ignored. But the s is
about to hit the fan politically.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Anyway around the whole thing.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
We can tell you about that Armstrong and Getty Snap
federal food assistant serving forty two million Americans, set to
run out of money in just days, many anxiously stocking
up at food pantries. President Trump suggesting his administration may
find a way to keep Snap afloat, but not giving
any details. Republicans erupting on the Senate floor, blaming Democrats

(18:38):
for refusing to end the shutdown.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
The shutdown continues.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
We are what in the late twenties somewhere of days,
and we're about a week away from it being the
longest shutdown ever. And now Rubber's starting to meet the
road with a variety of programs, including the food Benefit stuff.
I have no idea how how many people are on
it that actually need to be on it, but some

(19:06):
of those people need to be on it, and uh, aren't.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Starved the lazy, lazy, Starve the lazy.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yes, I don't want to starve the unfortunate, but I
do want to starve the lazy. So the I think
the it has been ignored mostly by the American public
that's certainly my sense of it, that news media isn't
covering it that much, and then when they do, I
just think people are rolling their eyes because we've all
lived through this whole bunch of times. I do think

(19:34):
it's about to ramp up politically. So here's back to back.
You got Hikeem Jefferies, who pretty much represents the Democratic
point of view in the House, and then Mike Johnson,
the Speaker of the House for the Republicans.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Back to back.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Here, Donald Trump has spent more time talking to Hamas
and the Chinese Communist Party than he has and talking
to Democrats.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I've given up on the leadership, so we're trying to
appeal to a handful of moderates or centrist to care
more about the American people. So it always comes down
to an attempt to.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Have the public blame the other side, with both sides
thinking we give a crap really anyway beyond like the
news cycle, because I haven't seen any indication throughout history
that it's had any legs as a story. One side
will ultimately be blamed and then they'll have poles saying
most people blame the Republicans or the Democrats for this shutdown,

(20:32):
but then it disappears as a story and nobody goes
to the polls voting on that.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
So who cares? Right, Yeah, Washington d c. Is a
big high school. It is obsessed with itself. For the
rest of us in other high schools around the nation,
we don't care. No.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
It it's just not a story that has any lasting
impact on anything. It's we're just we're just dysfunctional all
the way around.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
It's not I don't want to bore you with it,
but what's it's actually an issue is so minor. I mean,
this is a continuing resolution that only lasts through the
end of November or something like that. Yeah, this is
not like some giant budget fight over critical programs. This
is a question of whether to extend additional benefits. The
Democrats themselves sunset it, and Republicans are like, yeah, you

(21:20):
sun seted it, so now it's over right. No, we
demand to continue for another month, otherwise we'll shut down
the government. What happens then, like next year's budget, we'll
get to that. What do we get to it? It's
just so phony.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
The real story, in case you don't know it, is
AOC is going to run against Chuck Schumer in New York.
She is a House member, he is a longtime senator.
He is the leader of the Democrats in the Senate.
It's a very powerful man. She is going to run
against him. Poles shows she's got a shot of beating him.
People don't think Schumer's a fighter. People Democrats think she

(21:54):
is a fighter for good reason. And he needs to
show that he's a fighter. So that's where the shutdown
comes from. He needs to look like he's trying to
fight the evil Republicans. So here's the current leader of
the Senate, because the Republicans have the majority, John Thune.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
And I thought this was a pretty decent little speech
he gave yesterday.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
This is a political game. These are real people's lives
that we're talking about, and you all have just figured
out twenty nine days in that oh, there might be
some consequences. There are people who run out of money. Yeah,
we're twenty nine days in and they've done their best
to make sure that a lot of these programs are funded.

(22:36):
But at some point the government runs out of money.
Thirteen times people over here at fund voted a fun
snap thirteen times they voted a fund wick.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I aching back.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I'm not exactly sure about the aching back part. That's
an old timey expression. Can take this anymore? I hear you, John,
it is I don't know that expression. Oh my aching back.
He probably still does unleash that from time to time.
So the Republican messaging should be that, and everybody should

(23:16):
hear it, because they should say it on every show
they ever on. We vote to open the government every
single day. We're not the ones stopping the government from
being opened. We vote yes, open the government every single day.
We just can't get enough Democrats to go along with us.
That's not a complicated notion. I don't know why I
can't say that.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
They could say under the existing law, we're not changing anything.
We just want to open it under the existing law.
They're asking for a big change for a month. This
is ridiculous, but their messaging is terrible. Soon is a
huge upgrade from Mitch McConnell, but even he needs to
work on it.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
From the current Mitch McConnell, not from Mitch McConnell in
his prime. Probably, oh right, right, right right, But mitchmick connell,
who's you know, locks up every now and then.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, he's old as the hills, and I read a takedown,
a bipartisan takedown of all the geriatric senile ulsters in
Congress in the Senate. And it's both sides of the aisle.
I mean, people who like haven't been seen in Congress
for six months, haven't registered a vote, they're in a
care home and they're still serving. I mean, it's just

(24:26):
silly boy. I akhim back, my ach him back. I
hear you, John handsome devil at John Dune.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
So maybe that would be a good time to get
to our old Gavin Newsom clips here because he was
on fire yesterday. He's running for president, as he announced
last weekend.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Please please run, Please run.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
What's he wants to build on the legacy of Joe Biden,
which is a hilarious notion. Wait what, I'm surprised that
that's the angle he's gonna take. But here's a little
Gavin Newsom from me yesterday.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Well, continue to building the legacy, I would argue of
our former president, who I think was one of the
most successful presidents in the last century, and that is
Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
And I will defend that to my grave.

Speaker 9 (25:11):
In terms of the Chips and Science Act, the infrastructure building,
the work he did on the IRA, the fact that
he had a worker centered industrial policy, and the fact
that those are the right policies for this country.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
They're all getting on done, right, I mean a lot of.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
Them, and well many aspects are being celebrated by the
Trump administration as.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
His I'm pretty surprised by that that he's not going
with it because Joe Biden was not popular even with
his own party. So I'm kind of surprised that he's
going with a Joe Biden's one of the greatest presidents
of the last century.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
And I'm just surprised by that.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Who is he trying to appeal to, because Gavin is
calculating he has no principles, So what is he looking for, right?
I guess that's what I'm saying. The surprised.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
I guess I'm surprised his calculation is that's the best
way to run for president is to claim Joe Biden
was one of the best presidents of the last century.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah. I came across two spectacular takedowns of Gavin Newsom
written by Californians, including one man of the left. I
want to get to a little bit later on, but
both of them, Well, one of them makes great sport
of him trying to recently pass himself off as some
street hustling latch key kid from the Projects on that

(26:28):
podcast lately. His dad was an attorney for the billionaire
Getty Oil family and manage their assets. And Newsom's father
was an attorney, a judge and former associate justice on
the California Court of Appeals and just crazy.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
So just to finish up, our governor knew some stuff.
Play the last two clips back to back there.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Michael, I'm disgusted what's happened in this country. I'm disgusted
by the Supine Congress. I'm disgusted by how the private
sector is conducting themselves. Disgusted by universities selling their soul
in law firms. These guys are sort of a maniacal
sense of purpose and desire for power.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
They want. This is a revolution, hm boy, so tiring?
Uh yeah yeah, I can't wait to get into the
bringing Gavvy down stuff. It is so good, so good. First,
a word from our friends at Webroot. It's cyber scaries months.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
So if the shutdown goes into November, which almost certainly is,
then we're getting we're weeks away from Thanksgiving, now that
that'd be a long time, but there's no way it
can go through Thanksgiving because you'd have the whole flying
air traffic controllers, airport nightmare. Neither party wants to mess
with the chance that they get blamed for.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
That, right, Yeah, that's a nuclear nuclear explosion right there. Yeah.
I find the whole thing tiresome and discouraging. You know,
it's not a fight. I mean, there's nothing going on.
There's no fight to be had.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
No, no, no, no, no, it's it is. It's just depressing. Well,
we're broken, we got a wet a broken system, and
it's just depressing.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's almost like watching some sort of I don't know,
Battle of the Bands or a dance off or something
like that, because they're not accomplishing anything. They're not even
pretending to. They're just trying to posture better than each other.
And listen, the Democrats started this fight. There's no getting
around that. They could have approved a clean continuing resolution
to fund the government for the next month or whatever

(29:36):
the heck it is, but they didn't. They wanted to
make this a hill to die on again. To help
Chuck Schumer, but it's just so discouraging.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Gavin Newsom actually said, Joe Biden is the best president,
one of the best presidents of the last century.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
And I'll go to my grave defending that. Wow, that's okay.
I want to put him in his political grave. Next segment,
why don't we go ahead and pay that off? That
had to be aimed at a donor or something.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I don't know what the hell that possibly was absurd.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
He was a joke, a joke.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Democrats didn't want him to run again anyway. More on
the way.

Speaker 10 (30:15):
But also, you know, it was also about paying the bills, man,
And it was just like hustling and and so I
was out there kind of raising myself, turning on the
TV started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting
there with the you know, the wonderbread and five stacks
of hey, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
The white All right, So there was poor Gavin Newsome
on a recent podcast, who knew he'd grown up poor,
had to hustle to stay alive and the rest of it.
Katie Grimes, the fabulous Katie Grimes, with a spectacular takedown.
I knew, I knew.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
I said that the other day, I said she's going
to have such a rundown of his actual upbringing.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Oh, she probably had to calm herself down to start
writing this. It is so rich. It was about paying
the bills man wonderbread and mac and cheese. That's how
I grew up, bro. It was just like hustling. I
raised myself right. Gavin was a latchkey kid. When Gavin
was featured in a Children of the Rich article in
nineteen ninety one at the age of twenty five, that

(31:15):
pretty much put the latchkey kid from the Larchmont Holmes
tracked Housing Act to rest until now as loose Newsom
longs to be America's next president. Then she goes into
how what was that? Sorry, it made me cough. I
swallowed my water. I hadn't heard that one before. Oh,
he's just trying to pass himself off as the children

(31:36):
of the rich. Children of the Rich article in nineteen
ninety one at the age of twenty Wow. His father,
attorney for the billionaire Getty Oil Family Appeals Court judged
the rest of it. But Gavin slept on a couch
and ate Wonder. Breton raised himself and he opened a
winery at the age of twenty five, Newsome men investors.

(31:58):
At the age of twenty five, new investors created Plumpjack Associates,
LP with the help financial help of Gordon Getty. In
a two thousand and three article bringing up Baby Gavin
in the SF Weekly magazine, it says Newsom's father, William,
was a judge and helped Gordon Getty get access to
the Getty family money. She writes, I've read the article

(32:19):
several times over the years, but it is no longer
available at SF Weekly. They took it down, but they
found an archive version posted it to Twitter. He even
helped Gordon Getty so his own father to get access
to the family trust. In return for these favors and
many others, Gordon Getty put him the father in charge
of managing a massive amount of money. Guess how Gavin

(32:41):
got the funds to start his fancy businesses at such
a young age. In ten of Gavin's first eleven businesses,
the primary money came from the Getty family, which is
intertwined with the Pelosi family. By the way, Jennie, I had.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Read that while his dad did have access to blah
blah blah because his parents divorced, that Gavin you know,
grew up with his poor single mom trying to make
ends meet, et cetera.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
No, no, the minute he was of age, and again
he was a subject of Children of the Rich article.
And then he had all the money he could use
to finance all of his businesses the minute he was
an adult. So why lie about being a privileged kid,
Katie Grimes writes, because Gavin Newsom is inauthentic, phony and
specious to be polite, as well as a compulsive liar,
to be a little harsh. Newtam's inauthenticity leads him but

(33:32):
compulsively lie to whomever he's speaking to, a kind of pandering.
She mentions, when with Charlie Kirk, Newsom said he hinted
that he agreed with Kirk that biological men should not
playing women's sports, but then he did absolutely nothing about
it as the governor of the most egregious title on
violating state in the country.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Maybe I don't speak Gavin well, but I didn't understand
what he said in that Charlie Kirk thing. I didn't
understand that clip we just played. I don't understand what
he was saying. He uses for the kind of hinted
something but he never says anything.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Well, you know, I was.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Out there running around, you know, and I got the
stacks of bread and what what are you claiming here?

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't even know what you're saying. Yeah, man, I've
got a is that it over there? I've got a
great oh Rich Lowry in the National Review, I asked,
I'm sorry, it's Jim Jim Garretty who's asking do Democrats
really need a white male version of Kamala Harris? But
it's it's worse than that. How well do you envision

(34:32):
Newsome connecting with all the union voters in the Great
Lake States? How about those working class blue collar whites
in North Carolina and Georgia for that matter, Will Newsom,
who banged his campaign manager's wife, I had a nineteen
year old girlfriend when he was thirty nine, going to
do better among women? When you see that photo of
Newsom on the rug with Kimberly Gilfoyle, do you say, yes,
this is the kind of Democrat candidate who's going to

(34:53):
resonate with African Americans and Latinos. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
I always think that's a blind spot for Democrats, you know,
the coastal Democrats that they because I come from a
family of like everybody was a Democrat, but they were
all firmer Democrats.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
They weren't Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Sort of that trans issues Democrats and that's where Gavin's
gonna really run up rounds it.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Right, right. And then one final note from Marcus Breton,
who has been a columnist for the Sacramento b I'm
not sure he still is for many many years as
we started the Armstrong Giddy Show in Sacramento, California. And
Marcos always a decent guy, a man of good character.
He's a man of the left, and I frequently disagreed
with him vehemently, but he's a good man. He wrote

(35:40):
this in twenty eighteen, before Gavin was governor. If Gavin
Newsom elected governor of California without so much as a
speed bump on his political journey of entitlement, it may
take future social scientists to explain why current California voters
were so willing to give this guy a pass on
all of the things we know about him. Can't you
see this picture for what it really is. The fifty

(36:02):
year old lieutenant governor and former mayor of San Francisco
is the living embodiment of privilege, and people seem to
be okay with that. He has white male privilege, class privilege,
wealth privilege, the privilege of good looks. All creates a
teflon exterior protecting Newsome's horrendous lapses of judgment and character,
excusing his questionable background. It is simply accepted without a

(36:22):
listening the negative scrutiny that would dog or even derail
lesser mortals. Wow, and that's from a lefty journalist. Yeah, yeah.
And he talks about the connections to the rich, geddyon
Pelosi families, how they pump money into everything he does,
and then his utter moral failings is he.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Is the caricature hmm, the sort of stereotype that people
try to plant on Republicans. Rich, white, good looking guy connected,
you know, rose up through the ranks with no effort
whatsoever or talent. Right, But as a Democrat, he's gonna
try to pull off the I raised myself, you know,

(37:02):
stacks of bread.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
No, I don't know what do you mean by the
stacks of bread? What are you trying to say back
to rich Lowry? Don't you think there's a good chance
Republicans we'll be able to portray the Marin County mansion
owning luxury, sweet partying wine sipping Newsome, who always looks
like a villain from a RoboCop movie. It is an
out of touch elitist. Never mind the whole NAPA dinner
in the middle of COVID. It was an early dinner

(37:25):
we all feel sometimes. Oh that is Gavin ron Art
and Getty
