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

Speaker 2 (00:24):
In honor of Jimmy Carter's hundredth birthday, more than four
thousand children around the country sent him hand drawn cards
bearing messages like who are you? And my mom made
me do this?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
That was a well crafted joke because the setup led
everybody's mind to would these little kids and even know
who Jimmy Carter is?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, which is perfect? Who are you? And my mom
made me do this?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh that's funny? Well, yeah, and I thought this joke
was a striking from Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
President Biden made a surprise appearance at a White House
press briefing on Friday, And it's not a great sign
when you're at the White House and people are like, whoa,
what's the president doing here?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, that is going to grow toward election day and
certainly towards January twentieth.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Of what the hell?

Speaker 4 (01:33):
So we just sounds awful and incoherent and is on
the decline by December January. I think the president may
be hospitalized.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't know. I just thought of this.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
So if Trump wins, you know, a pretty good move
for kamalas she should be angling for this would be
Biden stepped down. I am the first woman president. I
am the first woman president. Get it, you know, I
get it notched, it goes down in history. I'm the
first female president of American history for the final two months,
three months or whatever until Trump takes over.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Because Biden shouldn't be president.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
I'd throw an asterisk up there next to her name
of the Wikipedia, but I guess it's legit. It's like
Cayu who served for three weeks while McKinley was recovering
from a sprained ankle or something. Is there have been
a couple of guys like that who've officially been president
for a cup of mead?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, but she could have a good couple month run though. Sure. Yeah,
declare war on Australia or something. Who knows. We have
some breaking news here.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Hurricane Milton is now a category five after strengthening it
at an exceptional pace as CNN, and is expected to
hit Florida in less than two weeks, less than two
weeks after Helene, but it's expected to hit Wednesday so
you know, they've been My whole life had been terrible
at predicting how strong hurricanes are gonna be and where
they're gonna hit one going to hit. They're wrong so often,

(03:01):
So who knows what's going to happen. But if this
hits Florida and it's really powerful, with FEMA stretched as
thin as it is, this could really explode. I mean,
it's already a big political story on the right.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Holy con and again with the caveat that frightening you
about weather is a mainstay of modern media. According to
the National Hurricane Center, Milton's mind boggling rapid intensification is
nearly without precedent.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's a superstorm because a climate change and Donald Trump
said climate change is a hoax.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Is what you'll hear for a while.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
According to more than forty years of data from the
National Hurricane Center, Milton's wind speeds have increased by ninety
miles per hour in less than twenty four hours. The
storm has nearly tripled the rapid intensification criteria. Bab bah
Bah intensified faster than any other storm in the Gulf
of Mexico. Only two hurricanes strengthened more than Milton in

(04:05):
a twenty four hour period, two thousand and five's Wilma
in two thousand and seven's Felix.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Now Ron DeSantis, the incredibly competent governor of Florida has
done a fantastic job with a couple of these storms
in his tenure, so he'll be on top of it
as much as anybody can be. But in terms of
the federal response, this could you really ramp up what

(04:31):
is already a huge political story, some of it true,
some of it not true. But as we played earlier,
Tom Cotton on Meat the Press yesterday explaining, how wait
a second, that whole we don't have money for the hurricane,
but we've got money for illegal immigration. We got money
anytime you need to bail out college students. We got
money for all kinds of different things. If you need it,

(04:52):
you find it somewhere. But for this, you don't have money.
What are you talking about.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
We'll be diving back into that very topic in a
few minutes. Stay two and if you.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Can wow you know, I was thinking about this.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
When I was reading about rond de Santis being so
competent handling the hurricane. What you want out of an
executive you see, the president of the United States is
the leader of the executive branch. They're an executive, like
the executive that runs your company, and you shouldn't care

(05:28):
whether you want to have a beer with them, or
whether they.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Stand correctly or smile.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
The right way, or have a pleasing voice, or any
of the other things that we choose our chief executive
of the whole freaking country on. You don't care about
that for your business. You just want them to be really,
really damn smart and competent. And that's what Ron de
Santis is. But he couldn't smile naturally for some reason,
and he didn't know where to put his hands, and

(05:57):
so he can't be president.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Sorry about that. He's an idiot. Get right of him.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Ustream the minute Trump announced he was coming back. But yeah,
you're right, you're right. Yes, it's it's beyond frustrating. It's
it's practically it's borderline insane. I mean, it's like as
somebody opting for a meal that looks really good even
they know it's even though they know it's riddled with tomain,
just go ahead and shout out on that instead of

(06:23):
the more humble looking meal that will nourish their bodies.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yes, it's insane.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
It's similar to picking your mate based on how hot
they are. That will that will, that will reveal itself
fairly quickly, and I think we do that with our presidents.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Also, uh yeah, certainly hotness can factor in sexual attraction.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
But yeah, if.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
You put all other concerns aside in favor of that,
you are going to be unhappy.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
So I want to do this. Just briefly, I thought
this was damn interesting. I read this last night when
I was at a restaurant waiting for my giant Fudge
Sunday to show up.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I ordered a Fudge Sunday as a g a grown man.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
How's by myself. It's not like I was with my
kids and we're doing something as a family. I was
by myself in ordered a giant, not even the small one,
a giant fudge Sunday.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You were a child.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
I believe this is an expression of your desire to
return to the simplicity of childhood.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
And it's funny. I wasn't high, which this story is
about marijuana. I was reading this.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's funny.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I was reading about marijuana, not high, reading about marijuana
while I wait for an.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ice cream Sunday.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Sorry, I got a contact high from reading about it.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Article in the New York Times. As America's marijuana use grows,
so do the harms. The drug, legal in most of
the country now, is widely seen as non addictive and
safe for some users. These assumptions are dangerously wrong, and
a couple of the points in this article that I
thought were interesting.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
They focused on.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Mid Coast main a pediatrician who sees teenagers so dependent
on that they consume it practically all day, every day.
A remarkably scary amount, said this doctor, and from Washington
State to West Virginia, psychiatrists are treating a rising number
of people who use the drug that have brought on delusions, paranoia,

(08:16):
and other symptoms of psychosis. In the emergency departments of
small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike, physicians
encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug marijuana,
a potentially devastating condition that was once rare but now common.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, here come the inevitable emails.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I've been smoking pot for years. I've never had a problem.
All right, look, let me read this paragraph.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Smoked cigarettes for sixty five years, and he didn't get
lung cancer.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
That proves nothing.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, and it's different. Now read this paragraph. This is
the really the main reason I want to bring you
this story. A thirty three billion dollar industry has taken root,
and I'm sure it's growing, turning out an ever expanding
range of cannabis products so intoxicating.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
They bear little resemblance to.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
The marijuana available a generation ago, a generation, a generation ago.
So we're not even talking about hippies from the sixties
what they were smoking. We're talking about what you were
smoking in the eighties. Yeah, bears little resemblance. So if
you think you have in your mind what pot is
based on your smoking it in the early nineties in college,

(09:26):
you don't. That's whatever. That to me, that was the
key to the article. I wish that had been the headline.
That's what everybody should realize. They should give it a
different name. We're talking about something different than what you
were doing, and that would be helpful for pot, Yes,
that would be helpful for talking about, you know, what
the youth are doing today. Many users believe, for instance,

(09:47):
they couldnt become addicted to cannabis, but millions do.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Sains the new York Times.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Oh yeah, there's one psychological addiction that may be a
physical addiction, and the other thing is And I realized
this later life than I should have, but I tell
everybody who wants to talk about it. It finally dawned
on me as a guy who was I mean, I
was never like out of control or anything like that,
but I've definitely enjoyed walking on the wild side at
various points in my youth. The idea that I will

(10:16):
mess with my brain chemistry, then it will go back
to normal, and then I'm gonna mess with my brain
chemistry again, and it'll go back to normal, and over
and over and over again. Eventually, your brain chemistry does
not go back to normal. You've changed it forever. Sometimes
you damaged it terribly, sometimes somewhat. The idea that you
can just mess with your brain without end and it'll

(10:39):
be fine is a strange notion.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Well, and again, I'll say it for the fifth time.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
The pot, the marijuana products that your high schooler's take
is using now bears little resemblance to what you were doing.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
So throw all that out the window. This is a
new thing.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
That is that is troubling, and and I and I hope,
I hope society catches up to talking about it in
a different way or whatever instead of it just being
kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Haha. Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, you're you're right, and that is disturbing, but it's
you know, if you if dope is super intense, you
don't smoke as much of it.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, these kids that they were you're using as example
in the newspaper apparently were all day every day.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, I get what you're saying. You just you don't
take as many hits of it because you don't need to.
You're already wasted. So there's kind of a counterbalancing thing.
But yeah, there were not emergency rooms full of psychosis
cases back when it was illegal. Why part of its
societal but part of it's legal too. It's just the

(11:54):
whole decriminalizing drugs thing has been a really interesting experiment
to watch play out, whether it's in Oregon, which is
reeling from thousands and thousands of overdose deaths and a tragedy,
a human tragedy, to the problem with psychosis from too
much marijuana smoking. I think we've all learned something.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, a devastating condition that was once rare but now common,
say physicians all across the country. That ain't good an
Oregon hippiest place you can come up with, they tried
it and thought it is ain't working, and change the
laws back again. You think there's any chance we do
anything around marijuana or have like limitations on its, how

(12:39):
powerful can be or something like that.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Those tens of billions of dollars you're talking about the
industry is worth now and growing.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Are going to be arguing against that excellent point. We
got a lot more in the way. Stay here. Played
this audio earlier.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's a mob ransacking a seven to eleven in beautiful Anaheim, California.
Kelly Unicorney have beset with lawlessness more or less from
one end to the other, although in the Red counties
it's not nearly as bad.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's highly troubling.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
And as executive producer Hanson just said, in my ear
these mobs are almost always kids on se bikes, which
my son has, when they're expensive bicycles, and so what
are you doing riding around one thousand dollars bikes then
smashing the guy in the convenience store and robin and
so it's probably not out of you know what the

(13:37):
left would claim they're hungry, they need baby medicine.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
They're just vandals.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Please a bunch of seventeen year olds. These se bikes,
I'm not hip to that. Are they electric type bikes.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Or just a bike, like a particular kind of bike,
and like they'refore tricks and stuff. Like my son Wheeli's
everywhere he goes. He does not ride with what both
ways on the ground ever, just as back and go
around corners and stuff like that. Some but they've become
kind of a cultural thing. Like some old guy yelled
at him at the other day, he said, get your
effing wheel down, dropped an F bomb on him. So

(14:11):
I don't know if it's like the people have a
view that the people in the se bikes are.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Thugs or what that is.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I kind of got mobbed by a group of se
bikes one time and it scared the crap out of me.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
They're riding straight at me doing wheelies.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
And I thought, oh my god, I'm gonna hit him,
and then they turn at the last second.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's a trick. It's got a name. I forget what
it's called.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Scaring old guys, Scaring old people, Yeah, scaring.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
People who don't want to run over you.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, I need to hang on a second. I'm going
to edit my list of things to worry about. I've
got to insert bicyclists having both tires down right behind
people who have too many white flowers in their landscaping
and not enough color.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think the I think maybe I could be wrong.
I could have just been a crazy old guy. But
the whole se bike craze thing has gotten attached to
like this mob mentality violence that we were just playing
for you. Yeah, attacking convenience store. They ride those bikes.
So speaking of that sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Peter Helmsley or Hemsley is a hell of a chef.
Apparently he's also a good writer.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
He is closing down a restaurant in San Francisco and
the crime ridden downtown just two years after opening it.
This restaurant won like all of the global honors in
its first year of operation. It was getting Michelin stars
and stuff. I haven't said it yet, apa tic or
a photic. I'm not sure how you pronounced it exactly,

(15:42):
but it was mostly fish seafood focused menu. But I
mean just amazing acclaim and he's shutting it down because
of the state of the city. He cites being and
I quote, at the ugly butt end of a desolate
convention center suckhole in post pany apocalypse as being a

(16:03):
key factor in the restaurants demise. Again, great chef, better writer,
You're gonna have to say that again. At the ugly
butt end of a desolated convention center suck hole in
the post pany apocalypse.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
What's the panny is in pandemic?

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Oh? Okay, okay, that's where I was confused. Butt end
of good freeze.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, yeah, let's see.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
And he talked about some of the accomplishments even in
the right part of town. These these would be huge
accomplishments in that timeframe for any operation. But the fact
that we did this at the ugly butt end of
a desolation convenor center suck hole in the convention post
panty apocalypse is nothing short of a small miracle. Yeah, unbelievable.
And then they get into in the Daily Mail. It

(16:47):
happens to be the list of closures in downtown San Francisco,
including the gigantic Macy's that's been a been a fixture
in Union Square since nineteen forty seven. They just revealed
sixteen percent of their stock was stolen.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh my god, almost.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Twenty percent of everything in the store was closing. So
they're going to be shutting their doors. That's incredible.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Armstrong and Getty. What does the states the storm zone need,
mister president? What are the states and the storm zone?

Speaker 2 (17:21):
What do they need?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
What you saw today going the storm zone?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yes, sir, I'm learning what storm you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, but that's.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Everything they need.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
They're very happy about the board.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
It's a national security issue, as you've pointed out many times.
That's why the cover up is going on. It's kind
of a weird thing in a democracy of how to
handle this. But the current president is a brain is shot,
like really shot, and oh how do you handle that
without putting the country at risk? And it's going to
be interesting to read the book someday. I'll tell you

(17:57):
that what storm. I didn't know what storm you're talking about.
You just went and flew in a helicopter to look
at the storm damage that storm.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, and with all the death and destruction, so many
people still waiting to be rescued from Helene, never mind
the incoming what's the Milton to say? Everybody's happy across
the board. Yeah, and it's so astonishingly inappropriate. It's a
measure of how bad his brain.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, exactly, from a gifted super you know, good at
the whole empathy thing politician. That's not the way he
would have handled it ten years ago.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
So one of the controversies emerging from the FEMA response
to the last hurricane is the slowness of their response.
Some of it might be fair criticism, some of it not.
A disaster response always becomes politicized, but there is absolutely
a legitimate question about FEMA and its resources. You may

(18:55):
remember the world's most miserable waste of skin, Olihandra New
Yorkis saying recently that FEMA was out of money. They
couldn't take another hurricane, and several people have pointed out, well,
you've had tens of million, hundreds of millions of dollars
going to illegal immigrants now for a couple of years,
and you're out of money. Those stories are closely related,

(19:18):
but the reporting on that varies depending on who you ask.
Let's go with thirty five here, Michael. This is from
NBC Nightly News.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
Like many disaster responses, the recovery from Helene is proving
to be complicated. And at times slow. Nine days after
the storm, many residents here they may not have running
water for weeks. Crews are still doing search and rescue missions,
and the remote mountainous communities are still struggling with connectivity.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
In the last two.

Speaker 7 (19:42):
Years, FEMA has distributed more than one billion dollars in
taxpayer money to shelter migrants in cities across the US,
but the White House and FEMA say that's from a
separate government program, not for disaster relief, and there's no
evidence funds have been diverted.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Okay, so money being fungible everything, honey, that's yeah. I
spend a million dollars on motorcycles, but I'm out.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Of golf money. I need golf money, right, Come on.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
So here is KJP the delightful Little White House paid liar.
The first eight seconds or so of this are from
last week, and then the next section is from October
of twenty two.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Note to the contrast in what she says.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
It's just categorically before No, Biden did not take FEMA
relief money to use to use on migrants. So FEMA
regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site
to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and
other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency

(20:53):
Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and not
non for profit organizations upon requests to support humanitarian relief
for migrants.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Okay, so they've spent a billion dollars supporting quote unquote migrants,
and it comes to rescuing Americans, they say, we're out
of money.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
That was a different fund.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
This is one of those things that I have trouble
grasping because it seems so obvious to me that it
doesn't even require explanation, but apparently it does. I mean,
how does everybody not understand fungible the whole concept, but
it comes up all the time in politics. No, no, no, no,
Aram's not going to use that money for nuclear weapons.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
We gave it to him for food. What. Yeah. Yeah,
And I'm willing to.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Explain that sort of thing and not be too hip
for the room, because not everybody that's as much time.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
You're stupid. If you don't understand it, you're just bone stupid.
Oh if you don't get it, you're stick. How can
you not understand that if you spend your money on
a fancy vacation and don't have money for rent. You
could have used the vacation money for your rent.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
How do you not get that? I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
I'm willing to call people bone stupid, but that argument
is pretty strong. Speaking of strong arguers, none other than
Tom Cotton, let's jump down, turn around, and pick a
bail of Tom Cotton arguing with d NC spokeswoman Kristin
Welker on Meet the Press. It's clip number eighty one,
Michael hit It.

Speaker 9 (22:29):
My broader question to you, I think is about this misinformation.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
Do you think this is a time to put falsehoods aside?
Like the idea that FEMA funds are being redirected to migrants,
which is.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Just not true.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
It is true that FEMA and the Department of Homeland
Security have been spending billions of dollars on migrants. I
understand some people say they're separate fines, but we just
passed a short term spending bill. It's very common for
the administration to come and ask for permission to move
money between fines, especially to prepare for emergencies. And second,
I would note that this administration seems to have no

(23:01):
problem finding money when they want to spend it on
their priorities. When they need hundreds of billions of dollars
to pay off student loans for graduate students and gender
studies programs, they somehow find it. When it's trying to
get helicopters to deliver food and water and cellular service
and life saving medicine into these mountain valleys, they somehow
can't seem to find the money.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, so that's really two different issues. There's the fungibility
issue of well, you spend a ton of money from
your department on illegals, so if you're out of money,
But then also the whenever you're out of money actually
legitimately out of money or don't have money, you find
it somewhere, even if it's illegal, but not in this case.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
I think this is a governmental example of what we've
talked about in the context of living your personal life.
What you do, how you spend your time, those are
your priorities. You work seventy five hours a week, but
you say my priority is my kid and your kids
like I haven't seen in a week, your priority is work. Well,

(24:04):
the administration has made clear what its priority is.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
In that whole.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Well, that's from a different fund, Well, you spent a
billion dollars on that, and now you're saying we don't
have money for this and we can't get enough helicopters there.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Sorry, you have told us what your priorities are. Right.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
And Hurricane Milton, which is the least threatening name I
can possibly imagine, How could Milton hurt me? Hurricane Milton
that's bearing down on Florida is now a Category five.
Who knows what it'll be when it finally hits land Wednesday,
but man, if it does much damage and FEMA gets
stretched even thinner, and there are you know, people standing

(24:45):
on roofs or any of those images happening, this is
a growing political issue for a presidential campaign.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah, and most days I've given up on any hope
for the government being rained in and.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's made me happy here.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
But today is one of those those awful days where
I feel like maybe we the people can do some good.
And I will point out again, and I say this
especially to my more progressive friends, but everybody, really, if
you join with us in being a fiscal conservative, a

(25:20):
real budget hawk, and just squeeze out the waste, the fraud,
the abuse, the redundancy, the unnecessary departments, the giant, bloated
bureaucracy join with us and doing that, we will have
scads of money to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

(25:42):
We will have all sorts of money for mental health care,
for disaster relief.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
For the downtrodden, for.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Tutors, for our underprivileged kids in cities, you name it.
We'll have more money than we can spend. Don't let
the guver be the most powerful lobbyist of the government anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
And there's a way out of this. Scads is a
good word. I haven't used scads much lately.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
It felt good, So right before we go to break,
I want to mention this because I thought it was interesting.
Political had quite a story over the weekend, with nearly
two dozen Democrats describing Kamala Harris as running a do
no harm risk averse race in which she's not really campaigning,

(26:31):
complaining to political behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Now, the whole do.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
No harm risk averse is clearly a strategy, and it
might work for she might get elected. But the not
working very hard part that's a little hard to explain.
Political writing of the remaining days blah blah blah, oh,
get back to here. She has spent more than half
of the day since the convention in Washington, d C.

(26:56):
Not doing anything, and a lot of people in the
Democratic Party can't understand why Democratic operatives, including some in
Kamala Harris's own staffers, tell Political they're growing increasingly concerned
about our relatively light campaign schedule, which has her holding
fewer events than Donald Trump and avoiding unscripted interactions. But

(27:16):
just the fact that she's not doing much at all
in a tied race. People are bitching to political behind
her back about it.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
And I get that.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
I just think, and this is obvious, but in twenty twenty,
they had a weak candidate who they hid in the
basement and they won barely.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
They have a weak candidate, they're hiding her in the basement.
But how do you handle the candidate on that?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Does she say, okay, so where we're going today and
you say, we've decided to take the day off, give
you a little rest.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
But shouldn't I be out campaigning?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
No, no, we think it's best because you.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Can't say to her, yeah, we're keeping your events light
because you're kind of a dunderpat and every time you
talk it does this more.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
M than yeah. Well, and she's actually.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Decent enough on this campaign stage reading her stump speech.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Well, it should be great on Kimmel tomorrow night or
whenever she's on. I'm sure, Yeah, she'll be good on
our stern. She'll be good on a view tomorrow. She's
doing a bunch of that sort of stuff this week. Well,
and it's the luxury of being the Democrat. If she's
not good, you won't hear about it except on conservative media.
To the sixty Minutes Interview tonight with Kamala Harris. I

(28:27):
love sixty Minutes. I've been watching it since I was
a little kid. I've hardly ever missed an episode in
like forty years. But I don't have much confidence that
if she did one of her you know roundabout weird
doesn't say anything circular, non nail silence, right, I don't.

(28:48):
I don't believe they'd are it, don't. I don't break.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Now we can do a little preview and see what
we think of the clips they've released so far.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Cool, that's on the way.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
If the entire sixty minutes Interview with Kamala Harris tonight
has no negative moments for Kamala Harris, then you know,
it was.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
A a hack effort at journalism, because there's no way
she could sit for a long interview and not have
a negative moment.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Let's see how we liked the clips they've released thus far.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Start with sixty seven, Michael.

Speaker 9 (29:26):
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.

Speaker 10 (29:31):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen

(29:51):
in the region.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I don't know what she said there. I don't know
what she said. She is it was really hard. That
was also not the clip on my list. I mean
it was fine. Uh, what's the next clip you got?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Michael?

Speaker 9 (30:11):
Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister
of net and Yahoo?

Speaker 10 (30:19):
I think, with all due respect, the better question is
do we have an important alliance between the American people
and the Israeli people?

Speaker 1 (30:29):
And the answer to.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
That question is yes.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
That was actually a pretty good answer that clearly this
one was sad.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
That one was clearly one.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
She was ready to go on how to answer that,
and she brought that she's good at remembering those things.
The other one she was on her own, and I
don't know what.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
She said, Michael, do you have sixty six handy?

Speaker 9 (30:49):
We supply Israel with billions of dollars in military aid,
and yet Prime Minister of net and Yahoo seems to
be charting his own course. The Biden Harris administration has
pressed him to agree to cease fire, He's resisted. You
urged him not to go into Lebanon.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
He went in. Anyway, he has.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
Promised to make Iran pay for the missile attack, and
that has the potential of expanding the war.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Does the US.

Speaker 9 (31:20):
Have no sway over Prime Minister net and Yahoo.

Speaker 10 (31:25):
The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to
defend itself against two hundred ballistic missiles that were just
meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel.
And when we think about the threat that Hamas Hezbela
presents Iran, I think that it is without any question,

(31:50):
are imperative to do what we can to allow Israel
to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now, the
work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel
is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which
include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this

(32:10):
war to end, the need for a deal to be
done which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire.
And we're not going to stop in terms of putting
that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Okay, And then then he presses her and she gets
into that whole rambling nonsense. The last part of that
was actually pretty decent. The first two thirds, though, really
struck me as a reasonably bright eighth grader who'd read
the first chapter of a book and was giving an
oral report on the entire book.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Right because he had just asked, or he just pointed
out that you've said, don't do this, don't do that,
don't do this, don't do that, and they went ahead
and did all of them. So do we have no
ability to influenced them? And then she went into a
long why they have a right to do what they want? Well, okay,
but then why do you keep telling them not to

(33:08):
do things?

Speaker 4 (33:10):
It would be so much easier if she could just say, look, Bill,
we're pretending to pressure them because it's important to us
in our electoral prospects, because people have no realistic grasp
with the way the world works. But beyond the scenes
worth telling, I'm gonna go ahead and whoop some ass.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Which is the only thing that really makes sense is
that all our statements of don't do this, don't do
that are for Muslims in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
They're not for Benjamin.

Speaker 6 (33:37):
Then.

Speaker 10 (33:37):
Now, Jack and Joe just had a very robust and
productive conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important
issues together in this moment in time, and now together
in this moment they will have final thoughts with Armstrong
and Getty. This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime,

(33:59):
and it is time to share the final thoughts they
have been thinking. And that time is every day.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Unburdened by what has been There you go. Here's our
host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Let's get a final
thought from everybody on the crew.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Our technical director will lead the way, Michael Final thought.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
B Favioli's Oreo ice cream sandwiches, hot pretzel snacks and
maple cake.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yesterday was the greatest day ever in my costco free samples.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Oh that is a good one. Yeah, maple cake. Yeah,
it's delicious. From the bakery. Oh jeez, well.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Katie Green are esteemed newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
It's been years since I've had an ice cream Sunday,
but Jack said that now I want one, but no
whip cream because I don't like whip cream.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Now I don't either, whip cream disgusting? What's wrong with
whipped creams? That delightful accompaniment?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Gross? Jack?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Final thought for us, Yes, Monday night, Monday Night football
at one of the great venues for the NFL Arrowhead Stadium.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
But here's the breaking news.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
After two games of not being there, it looks like
Taylor Swift will be in the house tonight for Monday
Night football.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Oh what will she be wearing?

Speaker 4 (35:10):
My final thought on this anniversary of the horrors of
October seventh of last year, the new Israeli peace plan
is to defeat their enemies, go get them.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Wow, did you have to do that?

Speaker 3 (35:22):
I talk about Taylor Swift and you do the one
year anniversary of Israel and make me look like a Puttz?

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Did you have to do that? Armstrong and Getty? I
enjoyed it. Wrap pick up another grueling for our work day.
So anything sinkle to Putts?

Speaker 4 (35:37):
So little time good Armstrong and Getty dot com for
the hotlings. Pick up an AG T shirt for your
favorite AG fan. They'll be thrilled.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yep, we'll see you tomorrow with highlights from the Kamala
Harris interview, a bunch of other stuff. God bless America.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
As I was saying, I'm Strong and Getty, this is
a pivotal moment for our country. You know what, everyone
knows that it's ild with me.

Speaker 7 (36:01):
See say one way, oh girl, baby girl.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
By bye. So let's go out with the Barnes. You
can get away with knocking up your granny, Nanny. He
didn't did not knocked it. I'd say granny Yes, big
difference And.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
On that possibly nightmare inducing notes, makes all

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Very much Armstrong and Getty
