In hour 2 of The Armstrong & Getty Show
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George Washington Broadcast Center.
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and dat Ki and He Armstrong and Getty.
With King Cheeks and Dewey Rolls.
Mooding is the hottest little hippo on the planet, an Internet superstar who seems to be showing up everywhere.
We found Mooding at the kaw Kiow Zoo in Thailand.
Mooding, whose name means bouncy pig or pork patty, shot to fame just after she was born when the zoo uploaded a door believages of her.
Now that she's the meme of the moment, the zoo attendance has soared. Uh. There's also a twenty four to seven live stream of the baby Pygmy Hippo, which, as Katie Green said, is about the cute dang thing you've ever seen it is. It is dorable. I need one. I might have to get one for the farm. I wonder if you would hang out with the goats and whatnot.
Had not the name Mooding means bouncing pig or pork patty.
That's weird.
Mooding is going to be a pet name. I use you're a bouncing little pig, aren't you? I'm moving.
Wow, fillow talker. I went through such a range of emotions. I have not taken in a picture of the pigmy hip hop. You haven't actually seen it yet, No, I haven't you think it's a door. You've heard adorable, I've seen adorable. It's like it's like the cutest puppy you've ever seen. It's a hippo.
Yeah.
I've been busy reading about politics and conflict and policy.
I haven't had time for cute hippos.
But I went through a range of emotions during that short report, from amusement to disgust back to amusement.
Looks to me like you've been hitting the buffet mooding the bouncing little pig or whatever that what it is? Okay, thank you. Katie has texted me a picture.
I will I will make my pronouncement on how cute this thing is.
H Are you kidding me?
I know?
Hip I put it up on the couch with me and we'd watch TV tonight.
Oh yeah you are, which also means what something sausage for patty or something like that.
The double name is that I know, that's what I'm saying, the Ties with their crazy words. All right, So that's enough of that. A couple of stories worth getting to barely, but you know, we can take on the Way to the World in a few minutes. I like this story better. We're discussing if you're just tuning in the fact that the Oakland A's have played their very last game in the city of Oakland at the old Oakland Colisseum, the storied you know, place where many championships were one in multiple sports. Actually, but uh, this story is just funny. The a he has put out a special edition hat that immediately sold out and has now been taken off the market. It's graphically kind of interesting. It has the a's, it's the flat brim, which your son says is no longer actually hip right, certainly in his crowd.
Well yeah, yeah, yeah for people his age, I fear like, aiming at thirty year olds, it'd still be the right hat.
But the A's the big A's logos kind of off to the side and then it kind of echoes across the hat. Oh, visually, OK, if you know what I'm I'm trying to describe the best way I could come up with to describe it. But the way it lays out, it just clearly says ass. Oh, says ass, I need to ask that, and it immediately sold out.
But then they took it off the market. Oh wow, I'm sure you can get those at aftermarket prices somewhere.
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Anyway, so the internet had great sport with that.
I did think some and it's not all the fans' fault because the owner of the Oakland A's would get rid of all the good players to try to keep attendance down, So helping his argument because I don't think he ever had any interest in actually staying in Oakland, and that's what the New York Times takeaway was.
Also, I would I would quibble just a little bit and say he became convinced there was no point in trying to stay in Oakland.
Maybe, but you know, the fans there and it was absolutely packed yesterday and people were crying, and I was like, I can't believe this is ending. It really sucks. On the other hand, you know back in May you had four thousand people in the stands. That's why, that's why the teams believe it.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Sacramento River Cats, whose stadium the A's will be cohabitating in, would outdraw draw them on a semi regular basis. Yeah, So moving along through some more news. In Mark Zuckerberg's latest active election interference and meta AI as gushed about Kamala Harris and lambasted Donald Trump, as first documented by The Federalist. When asked who should I vote for? Well, I'm sorry, why should I vote for Donald Trump? The chatbot warned that the Republican nominee has been criticized as boorish and selfish or crude and lazy, and that his administration has been accused quote potentially undermining voting rights and promoting voter suppression when the When The New York Post opposed the question why should I vote for Kamala Harris, the chatbot offered several compelling reasons.
It praised her trailblazing, trail blazing.
Leadership as the first black in South He's vice president, highlighted her quote record job creation and low unemployment, and commended her support for rent relief and voting rights. The AI assistant concluded by standing, quote, by voting for Kamala Harris, you'll be supporting a leader dedicated to fighting for the rights and freedoms of all Americans.
That is beyond amazing. Yeah, I don't know anything about how that works. I mean, it's impossible for me to wrap my head around how that works. That you have woke engineers and somehow you end up with AI that spits out that. I mean, I don't understand how point A gets very but it's happened over and over again, so clearly it does. I mean, it's a bunch of different outfits, so clearly it does.
Yeah.
And as anybody who studied this stuff knows, and I'm a layman at best, but it's it's not intelligent.
It's an imitator.
It's it reads quote unquote, you know, zillions of pages of information and then predicts what the next word would be, or can quickly find the answer to a question like Google does. But if you tell it, these are the sources you should read from the New York Times, you know, Wired, dot Com, MSNBC, blah blah blah. That's where you get your information. That's where all the bias comes from.
Yeah, you get get your information from the Atlantic and you know whatever, but not the New York Post or Fox you know, AI ends up being siloed like your neighbor or relative who you know only watches MSNBC or only watches Fox and has a very specific view of the world. Hey, apparently AI does exactly the same thing as humans.
A metas books when explained the repeated queries to the AI assistant that.
It can yield very young answers.
This is the company run by Mark Zuckerberg, who just came out and said there is no causal relationship between social media and young people's emotional problems.
I mean, is there is there going to be a conservative AI put together by somebody at a different leaning that would talk endlessly about Asians eating cats and Hunter's laptop?
I mean, I don't know how great an idea that is either moving along, moving along Meta might have a hit.
Finally, the whole virtual world thing.
Nobody apparently is that turned off on buy but they are teaming up with a Italian eyewear company to issue the second version of the Meta smart glasses, which are mostly.
Glasses equipped with a.
Camera, microphones, and AI and social media enthusiasts and parents and everybody's super crazy happy about you can take video without a camera in your hands, not even your phone.
You don't have to bust out your phone. You're just wearing these glasses.
You touch the side and you're recording your kid doing something utterly charming. Are perhaps playing with mood ding the pygmy hippo that's got the whole world smiling.
I don't know.
Our agent ericasm and there's a ray band version. They just look like rayband sunglasses. But yeah, you touch the side and you can take a call or record video or take a picture of somebody without them knowing you're taking a picture of them, which is troubling, and everybody will be able to do soon. I don't know if this is I assume at some point this will be everybody will have this all the time in some fashion or other, and in a minute or after the break, we'll have to have an on air meeting about it, and certainly we'd love to have Katie involved in this. Pain is dramatically different in men and women the way it's perceived. Now, I am going to try to restrain everybody from making dopey.
Battle of the Sexes style jokes. I'm going to try to stick to the science. I wish me luck. Stay tuned quick cord from our friends. That's simply Safe home security. Man. There's a lot of scumbags going around stealing your stuff, particularly in Blue states, and that's why simply Safe is so great. With fast protect monitoring and liveguard protection, simply Safe agents can act within five seconds of receiving your alarm, can even see and speak to intruders to stop them in their tracks. And this will not be just a motion sensor that the cops ignore because they got twenty of them in the last hour. Simply Safe, we'll say to the cops, hey, it's a break in. I'm looking at the burglar right now.
I had my home broken into one time, many many years ago, and you never feel the same in your house after that happens. It's awful the peace of mind I get now driving away from my house with the simply Safe signs outside alerting people to the fact, dyah, I got all the sensors and cameras and all the stuff in there, so probably not a good idea to go into my home. And it costs less than a dollar a day, no contract, no hidden fees either.
You can cancel any time. How different is that than the old systems? They suck protect your home with fifty percent off any new simply Safe system plus a free indoor security camera when you sign up for fast Protect monitoring. Just visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong. That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply Safe. You know, we would be charging headlong through this topic, and I really think it's pretty interest.
Yeah, why do we not do that? I want to hear that incomplete. And then also this hour we'll get to Kamala Harris and Donald Trump laid out their visions for Ukraine Russia. That whole war about as clear well not about as clearly as has happened yet. And I don't know what if that's going to mean anything for the presidential race or not. Foreign policy doesn't usually pull very high, but it's pretty darn interesting. So all that stuff on the way.
It'll be fine.
But it's kind of funny behind the scenes, like everybody is dealing with family stuff and house stuff and pet stuff and spouses texting and kids calling it. It's just a nutty day for whatever reasons. The moon and some sort of weird.
Phase or chaos and sausages.
Yeah, yeah, who will return the sausages anyway. Oh, so it's funny to quote the Indigo girls. You know me, I take everything so seriously. I've never really been amused by the whole men and women giving each other grief over who is more wimpy about colds or pain or childbirth versus taking a fastball between the eyes or you know.
Just I don't know.
I just I find it an interesting topic to different is between men and women. But again it's because I lack a sense of humor. There's nothing wrong with everybody else having fun with it. But there's a big new study about study out about the differences in the way men and women perceive pain, and I found it very interesting. And they talk about how researchers have for years been studying this. I love this list. Give someone an electric shock, bind a tourniquet tighter and tighter round their leg, submerge their hand in icy water, Prick them with a pin.
Oh that sounds fun.
Researchers have done it all, and they've found across years and hundred studies that the same stimuli provoke greater pain responses in women. Women, in other words, are more sensitive to pain than men. They report feeling it more in just about every way, more intensely, more often, for a longer time. They grapple with more headaches, more pain, and gut conditions, or pain in their backs, pelvises, and bones, virtually other every part of their body, and seventy percent of chronic pain patients around the world are women.
Well, it's so there's a chance that if a guy could get pregnant, he'd find out it feels like a bad cold. Really. Oh well if that, well.
If this story is true, then why do you guys complain so much more than we do about just about everything?
Uh well, it sounds like you're complaining right now, doesn't it. Complaining about complaining is still complaining?
Okay, all right, spin job, sure, all right.
So oh yeah, don't don't don't get into it with me.
So that whole childbirth thing is going to ruse all these years?
Is that what you're saying? Oh yeah, mildly uncomfortable, they say.
Uh no, So you know what I think this This returns back to one of my favorite themes, and that's that modern human beings are so desperate to pretend like we're not animals that have existed for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, and that we are entirely intellectual.
When we're not.
I mean, there's a small percentage of what we do that's intellectual.
The rest of it is just the.
Beast that's been running around trying to stay alive, killing when necessary, eating, procreating.
The rest of it.
And I just think is for millions of years, men have been warriors. We've had to hunt and fight and get our arm chopped off with a spear, then go hunt and fight the next day, whereas women have to protect themselves as the givers of life and the carriers of children. So yeah, dudes, it's it's inconvenient on an anthropological level. I'm not claiming I'm some sort of you know, paleolithic hard ass, lord knows not.
That would make sense that men that can tolerate because pain tolerance varies among people. Clearly, I saw it with my kids. It was so clear that one of my kids felt pain worse, the other one barely feels it at all. But that dudes, who would feel painless, would you know, be more aggressive, maybe fight protect to be able to raise kids. So blah blah blah, that would become an evolutionary anything you're not buying it, Katie.
No.
I it's funny to me because the guys in my life that are the toughest ones that I know, they won't complain Like let's say one of them breaks their arm. Oh, it's no big deal, but they get like a paper cut, and then that's when they talk about it. It's just funny the contrast. And you know, I've always been interested in the whole having a cold thing. I've formed a theory that's half baked.
It best that it's the difference in the way the motors run a man's and a woman's, and guys are generally more about bursts of high energy as opposed to more steady approach to life. And so it's just it's like a well, it's a different engine. So when it is decreased in its efficiency, it's just it's different among men and women.
And I'll bet that's true.
I mean explaining it poorly, but guys, I mean number were pretty handy for opening a.
Peanut butter jar stuck, right.
But other than that, other than that, in terms of millions of years, not our modern we're cerebral beings period, But for all of humankind, sperm and fighting. That's why you're there, sperm and protecting your mate and your child. That is your only purpose. Teaching your kid to play baseball, that too.
Now, I wish there was a way to figure out what a person's pain tolerance was like your own. I wish there was a way they could hook you up to a machine and say, okay, you're a seven, you feel pain at this level as oppose to other people, because there's no way to know, right, yeah, I think you guys do. That guy just dubbed his toes.
So all of you guys milk colds because you know your bridle make you some soup and take care of you, and you can just just milk that soup.
Mm hm.
Hm. So child bursts, No big deal, that's what the study says.
That's the takeaway, right, well interpreted, doctor Armstrong.
You know there's.
A much jack everybody.
Yeah, the sex differences, I'm sorry the that researchers found pain biology may only represent a fraction of all those that exist. The biological processing of pain, regardless of how much pain is produced, is dramatically sex dependent. Different genes are used in both sexes, different proteins, different cell types, dramatically different biology in each case, said this guy who's been studying it for decades, not subtly different, wildly different, Like it's a different biologic process.
Isn't that crazy?
That is interesting? When I had my Gallbletterer attack, the doctor who was a female, and two nurses who were females had all three had gall Bletterer attacks, and all three of them said their goalblatder attack was worse than their pain from childbirth. Three women said that, oh, now, of course you don't get an epidural with a Gallblatterer attacks. That might be part of it too, maybe if you did it without the medicine.
I don't all of these men claiming to be women and vice versa should read this study.
Yeah, you're not a woman.
You're a dude. Dude.
Okay, put on address if you want, that's cool, But you're.
A dude, armstrong and getdy.
I believe I will be able to make a deal between President Putin and President.
Zelensky quite quickly.
What does that look like?
I don't want to tell you what that links. So Trump in a press conference yesterday got pretty deep into the whole Ukraine thing. And I will just read from what Norah Rothman wrote in National Review after this yesterday, Trump makes his hostility to Ukraine's cause clear. The measurable, measurable uptick in the former president's hostile rhetoric toward Ukraine clears away the fog surrounding his views in the conflict. Up until now, Trump has done a pretty good job. I think, on purpose of trying to make whatever your view on Ukraine, you feel like he's on your side, that he's going to stick by Ukraine, or if you think it's a waste of money and we have no business being there, you think he's on your side. He made it more clear where he is yesterday, and then Kamala Harris went further the other direction, making it clear where she is and standing in support with Ukraine. As you'll hear in this news package that they put together on.
ABC with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski at her side, Vice President Kamala Harris declaring that she will remain steadfast behind Ukraine until it defeats Russia.
I've been proud to stand with Ukraine.
I will continue to stand with Ukraine, and I will.
Work to ensure Ukraine prevails.
In this war.
It comes after former President Trump refused to say in the ABC News debate whether he wants Ukraine to win the war.
Just to clarify in the question do you believe it's in the US best interests for Ukraine to win this war?
Yesterday?
I think it's the US best interest to get this war finished and just get it done, negotiate a deal, because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed.
Trump says if he's elected, he could negotiate an end to the war in twenty four hours, but Zelensky dismissing that claim in a new interview, telling The New Yorker Trump doesn't really know how to stop the war, even if he might think he knows how. With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it, the less you understand. Zelensky also attacking Trump's running mate, Senator JD. Vance as too radical for floating a plan that would allow Russia to keep the Ukrainian territory it's captured and block Ukraine from joining NATO. Today, Harris saying that's exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. These proposals are the same of those of Putin, and let us be clear they are not proposals for peace. Instead, they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable. And now Trump taking aim at Zelenski, saying he's the one who refuses to end the war by not making concessions to Russia.
We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal.
Zolenski, there was.
No deal that he could have made that wouldn't have been better than the situation you have right now.
So I feel like this has moved into different territory. Zelensky visiting Scranton, Pennsylvania, yesterday, Biden's hometown. Know, while there is a military munitions plant there, so there's a legit reason to be there, but come on, it's Biden's place. He stands a Pondozzo's speech with Kamala Harris. He backs her view of things. He specifically attacks Trump's view of things and JD. Vance's view of things. He hangs around with Josh Shapiro, also running around Pennsylvania. I mean, it sure looked like, certainly to people who don't pay a lot of attention, that he's on team Harris and vice versa and Trump is not. And I don't know if this matters to the election. I don't know how many people care about this issue, but the lines have been drawn pretty starkly. I feel like now it's.
Pretty clear they made the calculation inside the halls of power in Ukraine that a Trump election would be well, far far worse than Harris for them, maybe even a disaster, forced capitulation of the Russians. And so I think, yeah, I don't think it was a miscalculation. I was trying to decide which one earlier seems like a deliberate I mean, like, it's not an accidental miscalculation. It's a deliberate calculation to do is what he perceives in his country's best interest, which, of course is what he's going to do.
What else should he do? I hate agreeing with Kamala Harris on anything. I happen to agree with her on.
This right just running for president wise, support of Ukraine is still majority popular around the country and particularly in some of these swing states. The reasons she mentioned the eight hundred one thousand poles in Michigan the other day in the debate is because there are eight hundred thousand Poles in Michigan that have some serious interest in Ukraine not losing Poles. Is in Polish Polish people, yes, yeah, I shouldn't say Poles when we're talking about a presidential election. That's confusing Polish people, which all of them okay. And in Pennsylvania a support for Ukraine is polling pretty well. And there she was in Pennsylvania with Zelensky side by side, And I don't know, it's an interesting calculation from Trump's standpoint. I was just going to say, in Trump's defense, I think the whole idented in a day thing.
Is uh, that's just that's a ridiculous thing to say. On the other hand, if he is saying, and I have a feeling he is because he is, in terms of doing deals, immensely practical and of limited principle. He just wants to get the deal on the best it can get done, and he's not going to hang up a deal over some ethical concern, whether it's building a hotel or paying plumbers, or Ukraine and Russia or whatever.
This is the way he operates. And I can see from that point of view that.
Barring some enormous change in what's happening in that conflict, it's not going to change much from where it is now territory wise, control wise, I mean, it's in fact, it's kind of difficult to picture what it would take to materially change things, be an actual game changer, like there's a threat to Putin's power or the Russian people rise up, and none of that's going to happen. So I get what Trump is saying. He's not wrong about it. On the other hand, Ukraine was invaded by a hostile neighbor, and their people and their fighting forces still retain the desire to fight to the death to eject them, just as we would, just as Trump would if he were the president and we were invaded. Whether we should be aiding them, and that as a legitimate political discussion.
Now National Review Noah Rothman said Zolensky stepped in it when he allowed democratic elected officials to use him as a political prop. Zolensky's own interests are imperiled if his country's continued sovereignty becomes a partisan wedge issue. You're thinking, and I think you're right, is yeah, he stepped in on a purpose. He thought, I gotta choose a side here, and I'm going to choose that side because I think I think we're doomed if the other guy wins. I think that's what he decided.
It's a gamble.
But this meeting with Trump really really intrigues me because Trump is easily swayed. That's one of his great weaknesses by you know, flattery or coming off as a tough guy or or whatever.
It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say.
After the meeting, Trump said, every time Zelensky comes to the United States, he walks away with one hundred billion dollars. I think he's the greatest salesman on earth. But we're stuck in that war unless I'm president. I'll get it done, I'll get it negotiated. I'll get out. We got to get out. He mocked Joe Biden's promise to support Ukraine until it the Chiefs victory. What happens if they win? Talking about Russia, that's what they do. They fight wars. As someone told me the other day, they beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon. That's what they do. They fight, which is an interesting thing to say because those are very different circumstances.
Well, and the fact that he just heard that they beat Hitler.
Somebody told you that, Yeah, all right. Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelensky money and munitions like no country has ever seen before.
Trump said if they hadn't, Russia would own like most of Ukraine.
So I don't get it. I really don't understand what he's saying.
Ukraine is gone. It's not Ukraine anymore. Any deal, even the worst deal, would be better than what we have right now, and a bad deal it would have been much better. Ukraine is gone, it's not Ukraine anymore. So he's to be three.
Quarters of it is I don't know what that means.
Well, it means you think they should give up. They get to make their own decision, as you pointed out, and the polling there shows they have no interest in giving up Ukrainian soldiers or the population, or certainly Zelensky. I don't know if this matters as a political issue. That's the only thing. Ian Bremer tweeted out that only one percent of people put foreign policy at the top of their things they care about. I think that's a weird way to measure it. Why does it have to be the number one issue for that's idiotic? I hear that. I know I think that's not hates that because it could be number two on eighty percent of people's lists.
I'm more concerned about heart disease or your wife's health.
What kind of question is that?
Yeah, so you can only pick one, the number one that's the one you care about.
That's idiotic. But people rarely vote on foreign policy with that is true a few exceptions, Vietnam War, maybe the Iraq War, that sort of thing. So I don't know if this matters or not, but it's clearly it is. It is going to be a part of an issue. I think the only way it doesn't become just clearly a part of an issue is because people aren't paying attention. But if people are paying attention, it's going to be. If you're with Trump, he's he's for giving up Ukraine, and Zelenski's with Harris.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm troubled by the whole thing and to deal given the feeling of the Ukrainian people right now, especially there are forces.
That we talked about this earlier this week or last week. I can't remember.
Polls overwhelming in Ukraine say we're going to keep fighting, We're going to get it all back, or get it back as much as we can. The deal doesn't exist that the Ukrainian people would accept.
Donald. That deal doesn't exist.
Unless you go to them and say we're going to join with Putin and attack Ukraine. If you don't just settle down right now, that's the only sort of deal that the Ukraineans might accept it. I don't even think they'd accept that.
So I appreciate Trump's braggadocio and how he you know, chests up to Shijinping and the rest of it, but I just find this whole discussion ridiculous.
Well, also don't know how the war would go if Ukraine was ever able to use the stuff that they have the way they want to use it, or gave him some of the things we're holding back. And if they end up having to give up a bunch of their land because it's too late, history will probably forget that. If Joe Biden had gotten to yes faster on so many of these things, maybe they wouldn't have lost so much territory, which really pisses me off. Yeah, that offers you Kolinsky bullets instead of a ride to paraphrase what he himself said, right, And the fact that every step of the way he said no and then eventually gets a yes. It's just so maddening with no explanation ever the whole thing. Joe Biden is the worst person to be in charge of these decisions. His life history shows.
That he's been wrong about every major foreign policy decision for the last fifty years.
Robert Gates, he was the only no vote. I'm going after Bin Laden in a room full of Democrats. Ugh, so maddening. Anyway, We'll see how this plays out over time. The lines have been drawn and Zelensky has chosen the side. Wow.
So the Federal Reserve has dropped interest rates.
Our friends at American Financing remind us, so you need to call them today. With mortgage rates in the fours, now is the perfect time to consolidate debt and reduce your monthly expenses.
So a lot of people have been forced to use credit cards because of the ridiculous prices at the grocery store, power, even childcare, and that debt is really expensive with credit card rates being insanely high right now.
But now with mortgage rates dropping, now is the time to wipe that debt out. American Financing is helping homeowners just like you save over eight hundred bucks a month on average.
They're even closing someone as fast as ten days. And if you start today you might delay two mortgage payments.
No upfront feast.

Heyny I call again for the media, CEASPI and Gaza. The Return of the Sassage the hostage.
Okay, that's a finalist for Clips of the Year already, even though it's only September. Clearly a finalist for clips here. That's a Prime Minister of the UK in a heavy setting, the un heavy topic, trying to eat the hostages back, the ones that are still alive, Unfortunately, he says, sausages.
I know it's again for the media, Ceaspi and Gaza, the return of the saussages.
Awful And that was the climax of his speech.
That was his home run line.
Jack nominated it for the greatest flub of all time.
I don't know it is.
It's in the Gallery of greates. It's on the mount Rushmore of flubs. I mean, it's right up there with we we have nothing to fear but Hamburgers, I mean fear itself.
Sausages, sausages. A poor guy, he'll think about that when he's eighty years old laying in bed. Wake up, dah. I actually did that, didn't I? I actually said sausages. Oh he's never the.
He's never going to have breakfast again without thinking of it.
Can you imagine every.
Breakfast place he walks by in London, he's gonna think how sausages? Like I said when I meant hostages, sausages?
Oh yeah, yeah. At some point somebody's gonna put a plate of sausages in front of him and he's gonna hurl it across the room. Right Kevin Spacey in American Beauty, He's gonna be so angry.
He's gonna, you know, go in order a couple eggs over easy, and the waitress is gonna say, you want bacon or hostages with that? Oh, I meant sausages.
I don't know if I ever remember hearing anybody make a flob where you don't just like I just did. You you stumble over word, you quickly correct it, you don't come up with a full, complete, different word.
The only time it happens to me is when I'm I read ahead too far, if I'm reading something, or i'm you know, I'm talking while I'm trying to find my place and what I'm gonna talk about next, but sausages.
I'll bet I didn't see the video of Michael go ahead.
No, maybe he was hungry at the time.
Now, I'll bet I know what he was doing. I didn't see the video. He was up there at the podium, but he was going through his phone. He was reading his text from his wife while he was giving his speech. And we gotta get the return of who's sausages hot hostages? His wife is talking about it. I found a place with great sausages here in New York. We should go as as you're done with your lame o speech. Speaking of speeches or talking, we just talked a whole bunch about Ukraine, and I don't want to kill you with that. But Trump just came out of his meeting with Zelenski and said this.
Long before I before January twentieth, before I would take the presidency. It's January twentieth, but long before that, I think that we can work out something that's good for both sides.
It's time and by the way, the president knows that too. He wants to get something done. He doesn't want to do this, and so we look forward to having them and I look forward to being with him.
Trump says, we can get something good done for both sides before I even take office if I win the election.
That's interesting.
He You know, I'm sure somebody will accuse him of violating the What's the act everybody talks about but nobody ever enforced. Is not the Hatch Act, but the where you're not allowed to conduct diplomacy.
Without a license designated R.
Yeah, that's the one.
On the other hand, if he is a president as a as a private citizen wants to offer up his services as some sort of peace broker, he can certainly do this.
This is never gonna happen. Putin's gonna say no, my plan is to take Ukraine. And unless he's gonna say this is gonna be like Israel humas the two participants are going to be the only ones that aren't interested. So let's say no.
We're not giving the land back right right now.
They'll both try to work the ref like crazy and see whether they can get the ref on their side or not anyway, and Democrats will tell you, well, Trump's a tool of Putin, don't you remember he colluded with him. So this whole discussion is just fraught with rumor and indiundo and inaccuracy and Trump's bravado because that answer was much much more thoughtful then I could get a deal in ten minutes that he's always saying.
Right man, As a guy who I really firmly believe that it's important to stand up to stand with Ukraine and try to push Rush out best we can and give them whatever they need. Sure doesn't help my argument for those of you who disagree with me to have him, you know, shaking hands and yucking it up with Josh Shapiro and Kamala Harrison Scranton yesterday.
No, indeed, not a good look.
No, no, well, what are you gonna do?
Gonna head your bets, that's what he's trying to do. Right We're talking about the ten forbiddens for Chinese communist officials.
I dug up what they are.
And it's another one of those examples that of the fact that while totalitarianism is abhorrent and disgusting, it's pretty efficient. I think we need at least eight or seven or eight of these ten forbiddens for our politicians.
So stay tuned for that next hour. If you can't get next hour, you got to go do something.
