In hour 3 of The Armstrong & Getty Show live at the RNC: 

  • Trump speaks for the first time since the assassination attempt
  • Biden's tone on being in the race has changed just in the last few days
  • Body shapes at the convention
  • New timeline of Trump attempted assassination 

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty, and he Armstrong and Yetty and so tonight, mister Chairman, I stand.

Here, humble, and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be Vice President of the United States of America.

You know, it's interesting.

I've read a lot of the punditry around jd Vance's speech, and there were people who loved it, like you, and there were people that didn't like me. And I find that kind of interesting because I'm not exactly sure why it was a text test sort of speech. I didn't and what was it that bothered you about it? I thought it was jivy. I listened to it, but didn't see it. I don't know if that has any effect on it. Sometimes it does, Oh often it does. Yeah. Interesting, He's a heck of a speaker, smart guy, all that sort of stuff.

I just yeah, I called it adorable earlier. Forgive me. Seemed authentic.

Just a guy who's his unpolished part has not been overcome by his polished part. I don't know it will see that going forward. So many getting the crowd chanting on Ohio, on his Grandma, on his USA, on his AH, so many different things. Maybe I just don't like chanting. Maybe that's my whole thing that could be. Well, I joined you in your loathing of chanting, and it's not ultimately not going to matter. I think the Trump vance ticket is going to be what it's going to be for the next five weeks, four weeks, and to actually get into the conversation as a transition, my wrisk just buzzed. Politico exclusive fiery private chats revealed the raw emotions tearing Democratic delegates apart over Biden. I'm sorry, months four months until the election, and I'm gonna call him audible here, Michael, because I haven't actually heard this. This is Trump speaking for the first time since the shooting yesterday, and of course he's speaking tonight, and nobody knows exactly how he's going to handle that clip ninety Michael.

That was an.

Amazing, horrible thing, amazing thing. In many ways. It changes your your attitude, your viewpoint.

On life, and I think, honestly, I think you appreciate God even more road because something, something happened was pleasant. It wasn't like it was a completeness though it was. It was pretty terrible that that could happen, and it happens too often of things going on, just crimeing on. Our country is so bad, and things are going with our country.

We're gonna fix it. We're gonna make it.

Makes you appreciate God a little more. Not that it was pleasant, it wasn't a complete miss. Yeah, taking a having hunk your ear taken off. Yeah, I really don't have the slightest idea what his speech is going to be like tonight. I don't know how he's gonna approach it, right. I don't know if he's gonna like kind of continue the fight fight fight thing, or if he's gonna come out like really subdued and humble and kind of like the tone we just heard there and then ramp it up. I I expect a tone of unity for the country, calm, dignified leadership more than we've seen from him, been.

A little fiery, and then ending.

With a messaging you a very very presidential speech as opposed to a candidate speech.

Can I unburden my chest? Very briefly?

Rudy Giuliani just shuffled. Oh my god, that was Rudy, Oh my god. And Sid Rosenberg, who we talked to earlier New York Radio legend, gave him a hug like it was his brother. Freaking Rudy Juliani. I wish i'd have seen that. Yeah, how do you look old? Super old? Yeah, old and not terribly healthy. Then have any black liquid streaming down the side of his face? He did not, and he was not visibly bankrupt, but I know his finances are tough.

You know, It's funny.

I was sitting here thinking, man, Jack's being disciplined talking about the topic.

When Rudy Giuliani I.

Would have been all over that. Oh he fell a couple of days ago as a elderly man. Oh goodness, well, I'm glad to see he's up and moving. Then yeah, wow, No, I would have talked about that. If I'd have seen him walk by. You should have nudged me, I said him, like, wow, Jacks, or you should have yelled, holy crap, there's Rudy Giuliani.

Wow, Wow, America's mayor, folks. You know what.

Yeah, if we could have flagged him down to talk about the broken windows policy and crime and and soft on crime prosecutors, woke AG's the rest of it and the UH and the stolen voting machines. Oh no, no, don't bring that up.

They have lawyers. Where were we We were on hold?

Biden is here talking about Trump speaking tonight and what his tone is going to be and all that sort of stuff. And I wonder has anybody brought up the idea to him of PTSD and how that works, because here's my example of this. It's not that I don't believe in PTSD, but I'd never really had an instant of it in my life. So I think it's used too much in the modern world. Everybody claims they've got this or that. But sure, after when when I had cancer and I was getting chemotherapy and radio for six months or whatever it was, I mean, I was so physically low at that point, and I was going in for radiation every single day at this one place, and I would park my car and I would shuffle like Rudy Giuliani into the hospital because it's all the energy I had and everything like that. And that's where it was at the end. Okay, So I went back like six months later after my treatment.

I'm perfectly fine. I feel great at that point. Whatever.

I park my car on the same spot, I'm walking the same pot at the same place, and I found myself kind of bent over and shuffling, and I thought, why am I doing this?

Wow? Feel fine?

Yeah, I was bent over shuffling because that's what I've done before. And I wonder if he's thought about and I thought, that's PTSD, I think, and I wonder if he's thought about, how is his brain going to react when he's standing up with the teleprompters in front of him in a big, loud crowd. Is his bringer say We've been here before and it's not a good thing.

Oh, what an interesting question. That's what PTSD is.

It's trying to protect you from something that has been a threat to you, you know, physically, your health or mental or physical health before. Right, it's your animal brain dangerous. That's like why I can't drink rum anymore. I mean, I drank too much of it when I was nineteen and I throw up and throw up, throw up in my body forever and said, no rum, it's poisoned. Right, That's basically the way it works. And I just wonder if if he gets there and he's up in the exact same situation looking at the words I'm the teleprompter crowd, and it just his brain goes, this is we remember this?

Wow?

I saw him possible, No, it's not. I saw him do the little run through where they walk you to the spot explaining that blah blah blah, and I'm hoping that helps. Uh yeah, what a great I have not heard anybody bring that up.

Wow.

I hope he's all right because that, Yeah, I don't care who you are, that is my mortal enemy. That could really rattle your brain. Here's my other example, Katie. I don't know if you've heard this story before. I knocked myself unconscious one time at at a gas station. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but I'm pretty sure I tripped over the hose between the car and the uh right.

I was stepping over the hose, I think. I don't know.

I don't remember because I when I hit my head so hard it blanked out a period of time there. But I think I caught my foot on that black hose it goes from the pump to your gas tank, and it fell down. I woke up and I was on the ground. This is in Buffalo, New York. I'm on the cement and my glasses are off and my watch is coming off, and there's blood coming down onto the sidewalk and I don't know where it's from. I don't have the slightestea what's happened. So I've just kind of conjectured that I that that's what happened.

But I do know this getting back.

This is my point with the PTSD thing is when I fill up with gas, I walk completely around my car. I can't make myself step over that hose.

Yeah.

I've thought about that every time I've stepped over a hose and I wasn't even there, and my brain telling me that almost killed you once, right, right, Katie, and I ever tell you the storyorry about how I got internal bleeding from buying bagels.

You guys are getting more interesting by the second.

No, I haven't heard that one job. I'm kidding. Yeah, we shall see tonight.

It's probably your mind remembering what happened there and just kind of subconsciously going nope, not again or right.

That's what I'm wondering. Could happen with Trump tonight? He gets in front of a crowd, same exact feeling, and his brain says this is dangerous for you.

So I don't know. I'm hoping it's different enough.

Yeah, or that somebody has talked to him about it so it wouldn't be completely shocking that feeling, right, so he'd think, Okay, here it comes.

I can deal with this.

Yeah, cause that's what you do with PTSD. You talk yourself out of it. I'm not actually in danger like I was before. We didn't get to the Biden montage. We'll play that for you coming up. His evolution just this week, just in the last three days. It's a short period of time on his answer to the question and interviews of will you step down? Or what would it take to get you to step down? It's it's morphed quite a bit in a short period of time. That and a whole bunch of other stuff coming up the Armstrong and Getty Show Live in Milwaukee.

Arm Strong and Joe Scarborough has now come out and said Joe Biden should step down.

I should do as the candidate as a candidate, yeah, which I feel like that should morph very quickly into then why why are you?

Why should you be president? Un till January, which is quite away from now. Yeah.

I mean, once you've conceded that he can't possibly last the term, you've got to ask the question, how is he doing?

Now?

Okay, we're getting ahead of ourselves on that conversation. Let's let's start here Joe Biden's This is a little montage of his a morphing answer to the question of would you step down?

What would it take to get you to step down?

If you can be convinced that you can knock to feed Donald Trump?

When you stand.

Down with the Lord Almighty.

Comes on and sell me that my two back.

If your team came back and showed you data that she would fare better against former President Donald Trump, would you reconsider your decision to stay in the race.

No, let's say came back and said there's no way you can win me. Don't say that.

No, pull says that we were one thousand percent in your words, see you.

On the ballot this November. Well, I second hit my train. Yeah.

Is there anything that you would look to you personally, not anybody else, not other pundits, not even perhaps family members that you would look to to say, If I see that, I will reevaluate.

If there's some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if the doctors came to me said you got this problem, that problem.

Yeah, that seemed like an answer. He had prepared to go that one yesterday. So it was day before yesterday that he said, if I get hit by a train, maybe that's forty eight hours ago, twenty four hours ago yesterday, he has that answer. Like I said, I feel like it was prepared. If the doctors came to me and I said I had some sort of medical situation. First of all, that we all know the comment from the press conference where he said, well, if the polls showed I couldn't win, but guess what no poles is showing that.

Well, guess what every pole is showing that are none?

Yeah, yeah, there's sources saying that the internal polling is even worse than what we've seen. And was the day he said that, which gets to the whole Are people keeping the poles from him or did they not sink into his addled brain or what's going on there?

I deny, deny, but you don't know.

And then Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and all these different people working behind the scenes. So I was listening to a zoom call this morning that a bunch of heavyweight political people on there, both pundits and people who've been in that office, and somebody who's worked closely with Nancy Pelosi. And I'll tell you what, Nancy Pelosi, it is like one of the best smartest people in politics in my lifetime. Absolutely, I just forever, I wish, I wish my side would ever have somebody as smart and as good as Nancy Pelosi is because she just understands the way the whole thing works. Anyway, this person who's worked with Nancy Pelosi, and this is not like it's a seminar or a book or something like that, but she said, she says, said, I know that Nancy Pelosi has like three rules that she follows for power on all these different things. One being power never gives up voluntarily.

You have to take it.

And so Joe, that would be Joe Biden, and I'm gonna step down, I guess, unless you can somehow maneuver that around. But also she's famous for never bringing a bill to the floor unless she had the votes. So she's a you know, don't go through the motions unless you've got the leverage. And I think that's why she hasn't said anything out loud yet, because because she doesn't have the leverage, she knows she doesn't have actually have the leverage.

To do it.

She's getting it, yeah, she's working to get it. Yeah, and it's remarkable that she is still the Great Wizard of Oz compared her to the Witch earlier. I think the Wizard might be a better comparison, even though she stepped down a speaker now. Hakeem Jeffries, It's it's kind of good to have a speaker emeritus around to do the dirty work so he can keep his himself above the fray, you know, even though only a fool thinks he's actually above the fray.

But yeah, they're working like crazy.

They were working frantically right now, trying to figure out what the hell to do and how to do it. Yeah, and these three things kind of merge together into one really, But the other portion of it just being, you know, you need to be realistic about your own leverage. And I thought, listening to that, I thought she's actually a pretty conservative person when it comes to this. To understanding power, it's just really recognizing what is reality?

Do we have the votes.

Do we have the power to do what we want to do, and and things aren't going to turn out to the way we want them just because we want them to unless we can force it to happen. I mean, just that's all a fairly conservative principle. Actually, yeah, well, I think that's why she's working behind the scenes, because the reality is nobody actually has any leverage over Joe Biden to make him step down.

It would have to be it would have to be Look, dude, you look ridiculous.

Threats of humiliation, Yeah, threats of not tarnishing, but crapping on whatever legacy he leaves. Yeah, and he's definitely at the point in your life you start to think about that sort of thing.

But yeah, you would hope.

So the reporting is that Schumer told him, and I'm sure Nancy Pelosi has too, that you're not only going to lose, but we're going to lose the House and the Senate. So that's what's going to happen. And if you care about the party, if you care about the issues, we're going to be completely out of power because of you, and you will replace George McGovern in the pantheon, one of biggest losers in American political history. Now the Democratic Party is desperate not to lose the rapidly vanishing black vote by bumping Kamala Harris.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure their fears justified anyway. But if they are afraid of that two words, you can have this one for free Democrats, Al Sharpton. But so back and better and fatter than ever. Actually still skinny, isn't he all?

But so the zoom call I was on. They went from.

The stuff that Joe Biden got to go all this sort of stuff. Then they got into the but then what another one in Nancy Polici's rules is you can't beat somebody with nobody. Who's the somebody that's Chesterton's fence, and and who's the somebody. Well then they go through the whole all the different possibilities for the somebody, and somebody said, you know what, we're back to maybe Joe Biden should stay in office because it's super super complicated. Who how what how do you get the other people to stand down and get on board and not end up in worst spot than you are with Joe Biden on the ticket?

How can you not be enjoying this on one level, that's funny.

It is kind of fun to watch when it's not your rodeo man.

Right, it's not my circus, not my monkeys are strong.

And this woman, director Cheetle runs the Secret Service, has I think done serious damage to that organization this week, which is too bad.

It is a mortifying and humiliating moment for the Secret Service in a way that is I feel bad because I know Secret Service guys and they are utterly buttoned up, patriotic, serious professionals, and this is terrible. Well I'm not convinced they did anything wrong here yet either, So the Secret Service, right or yeah? That that that that that they're the ones to blame.

I mean as an.

Organization or individuals you're talking about, uh, individuals, yeah, right right? And if they put if they put local police on that building and then local police didn't do what they were supposed to do, that that puts you into a spot. But their director has handled this so poorly, and we almost had an assassination.

We almost had. Somebody said this yesterday. It's absolutely true.

If he'd have been murdered on live television with modern visual technology, that would have been the most spectacular political moment in US history quite possibly and horrifying, scarring, I mean ever in our country's history, right right, because I mean there's a lot of bad things with Lincoln and the Civil War. I mean all the different things happened, but they weren't on video, right, yeah, And oh my god. Anyway, and then and then she doesn't talk and then blames a slope roof, and then won't show up for hearings because she's got conflict. You have conflicts more important than talking to senators about how a president almost died, and then she did. So she does it over conference call and won't answer questions, which led us to yesterday when she's in Milwaukee.

I guess she was over at Pfiser.

She's actually in the building and Senator Barasso, John Barrosso and Senator Marsha Blackburn, who are not her, not flamethrowing crackpots sort of senators. No, they saw her, not young, No, they saw her and chased her. And then there's video of that actually chased her around Pfiser, trying to get her to answer questions because I can't get her to answer questions.

They explained it afterwards. This is how it sounded.

Senator blackbad, and I just went face to face with the Director of the Secret Service, asking for specific answers about what happened with President Trump in Pennsylvania and how that shooter was able to get off a clear shot.

When the FBI and the Secret Service knew that there was a suspicious person.

An hour in advance of when the shooting occurred, and they identified a potential crafty five fifty one, she would not answer operate questions.

She wanted to say it was not the time or place.

This is after We've been through a conference call today where the question.

Q got caught off. But I've got a message for her. She can run, but she cannot hide. How weird is this situation?

Well, even if she were genius at the nuts and bolts of protection, which should be a hell of a thing to suggest, at this point, she is not a leader who is instilling any confidence in her agency. She is the opposite. She's terrible. Hey, go back to run in operations. Of course again, that's absurd given what happens Saturday. But yeah, she's got to go. So the Secret Service is under the Department of Homeland Security.

M is that right? From the Department of the Fish rotting from the head first.

That happened after nine to eleven, So secret services under the Department of Homeland Security, which answers which is in the executive branch, right, which is why you've got majorcis protecting them by saying I have one hundred percent confidence in the director the building was secure, which is an insane thing to say. Yeah, I mean, God, even if you're on her side and you want to cover her ass, you would think you would come out the day after Trump's almost killed and say, we all have many questions. I have the same questions you do, and we're going to get to the bottom of this. Right that That is so DC disgusting, bizarre, not human rhetoric because the investigation hasn't been held, So how do you know, did you?

That's ridiculous.

That stuff you have the source close to a source that we talked about earlier was just really interesting. It's totally up to you when and how you share it. Maybe will you're digging for that. I came across this and it's a This is as a parody, obviously by a professional Hollywood script writer whose name is Joseph Malosi, and I've written a handful of scripts and gotten feedback on him, and this is exactly what it sounds like. I'll just share part of this with you. Thanks for the ace, well, you'll get it from context. Thanks for the script. Overall, the plotting feels contrived and times defies logics, so we're going to have to require a fairly extensive rewrite for the second draft. Our biggest issue with the script is the characterization of the Secret Service, who comes across as so inept that it defies credulity.

Specifics to follow.

Could we put the building that the shooter climbs onto outside a proper security zone instead of the current pac man configuration that only excludes his position. The Secret Service director character seems to lack the intelligence one would expect from someone in their position. Please have her come up with something more plausible than too sloppy for why no armed agents arrived on the rooftop. Let's work a little harder to create a more clever explanation for the egregious lapse in professional conduct, one that our audience could buy into. Maybe the shooter incapacitated the agents inside the building with non lethal means, say a knockout gas or drugs in the water supply. This could also explain how the shooter could have carried the ladder over, propped it up to the building, and climbed up without being noticed by law enforcement. It goes on for several more paragraphs, obviously explaining that.

If this or a script, nobody buy it. The world can't work like this.

But getting to the whole accountability thing, which we've been talking about a lot, and is, you know, such a conservative principle all of these government jobs. Hey, there's Margie Taylor Green again walking through. That's okay, that's first time I've seen her up close. Where she headed? I wonder she is the smile andest, happiest firebrand. I think she is authentic. She is authentically what. She seems to be comfortable in her own skin. Her. What was the saying, the bad built, leach blonde. She does have bleach bond hair. I mean, that's some seriously blonde hair for a woman or age. Yeah, well come on, which fine, I have no problem with that. I like it.

Yeah. What is that phrase, Katie? Do we still have that clip anywhere? They're bad built?

Her bad built, bleach bond body just walked right in front of me, So I'm I'm distracted.

Yeah, we'll see if we can find that. Anyway, where were we?

Ah?

The secret Service?

Oh?

No, accountability. Uh.

That's such a theme, and that's been brought up by so many speakers here in Milwaukee at the at the convention, so many speeches at reference either Afghanistan or the Secret Service or whatever. And no kind of nobody gets fired in the Biden administration. The fact that senators are chasing there's Rudy Giuliani. I keep getting distracted, Sorry, Katie, mister mayor, how are you, sir? Always good to see you there. Joe got a smile out of Rudy Giuliani. H Joe got a wave and a smile. How you're doing out of Rudy Giuliani huh? And Peter Navarro earlier. So your day is made man, you're mister your mister friendly wave today.

What the hell? He had the.

Full toothy Rudy and Juliani smile going there. He's a politician, he's been he'd been doing he'd been doing that smile for a long time. That man was an American hero, not just in the perception of people, but in actuality.

When he was the mayor of New York.

He could have had a snap election two months after nine to eleven.

He would have been president of the United States.

Right they had tossed out whatever amendment was limited to two terms. And and it turns out he secretly was a crackpot or did he turn into a crackpot or I don't even know.

Actually I don't know either. He wasn't.

The men are born to crack pottedness, some rise to crackpottedness, some have crackpottedness thrust upon them. And Joe and I keep getting distracted by celebrities walking in front of us. Here's the clip about Merger Taylor Green MTG.

You just watched on bad Built which body? Beach blonde, bad built, butcher body? I do. I disagree. She's way more a Kate eat me.

You might appreciate that she's way more feminine than she looks on television looking really Yeah, she, I mean she comes off like a like brick brick ass house.

Yeah, exactly, took word right out of my mouth. She's way more feminine.

She just looks she just looks fit, feminine in person indeed, and petite.

Well, because a lot of the I mean, you see her online and she has got all these weightlifting videos, so it's probably a completely different version of her.

Yeah, she's biking on a whole super heavy ropes thing. That's right now.

But is there any anybody else you would like us to uh describe their body in detail?

Whether just get a body breaks down on everybody? You know? We did? Did we do?

Mark Wayne Mullen off the air, Senator Mullen from Oklahoma? Who is the guy if you don't know him? It got into that argument near fight with Sean O'Brien and the teamsters in that senate hearing. Dude is well, he eat did mma fighting as a hobby, and he.

Is farm strong. He's a bit, he's a wide shouldered dude. Yeah, he's not Jim Strong.

He's farm strong anyway, Jack farm Strong right next to me here. Huh, it's your new nickname saying out of your sport code. We were talking about something, anybody else's body we need to describe before we get back to what we were discussing.

Oh, I think we're good. What about things?

There are radio shows over there, Like when we walked to the bathroom, they say, there goes Armstrong and Getty Man he's much more weeble shaped than I was expected. You know, he says he's delie on the air, but I mean he's dope. Are people describing our bodies as we walk by? Probably not, because most people wouldn't do that. Most people's radio show would not be describing the body shape of guests at the convention.

I think it's important that we move on.

If anybody had let's see Thursday at ten forty five Central time for when A and G get punchy and don't care anymore.

Well, you've won.

We'll get back to our point, I'm sure again later. Of the lack of accountability that goes on at every single level, the fact that you've got US senators chasing the Secret Service director to try to get an answer out of them because when they are on a conference call with her earlier in the day, the call cut off. Asked after they asked their questions and she didn't answer, Oh yeah, whoops. Well it happens. You know, cell service it's unreliable. What do you get to be that dismissive of the secret of a US senator investigation?

Well, I don't know how long she thinks she can put it off.

Her. Actually, a guy I talked to last night who's in the know about this sort of thing, said, they're delaying, they're getting thetting their ducks in a row. They don't know what their answers need to be. She's probably meeting with lawyers.

She might be Yeah.

I don't know if she's personally on the hook for anything, but she's probably figuring out, well, my answers are going to be under oath when I finally get subpoenaed and have to go in there. Well, right, it is, I deny, deny, coupled with delayed delay delay, But it shouldn't be a confrontational under oath whose ass is going to get hung out to dry sort of thing. Just answer the questions. Good luck, was somebody assigned to that building? If not, why not? If so, where were they? Well, the end in the hole. You don't want to throw anybody under the bus thing. So they said it was actually the responsibility of local law enforcement. A lot of people took that to mean the town or the township, I can't remember, county, whatever, And the counties come out and say, oh.

Who whoa, whoa, woah, we had traffic all right. We were just traffic.

Our guys went off of traffic when they heard there was a suspicious character. So did she mean the state troopers? Did she mean the county sheriffs? But no, she's not going to be that specific. So everybody's wondering, that's ridiculous. What's supposed to happen, according to sources I've talked to, is when you get a suspicious guy like this guy was nailed down as suspicious an hour before and then picked up once one more time thirty minutes before, somebody's supposed to engage them a plane closed. Person is supposed to engage them in conversation and try to figure out if they're a real threat.

And that did not happen apparently.

And it's been documented now that the Secret Service itself knew at least ten minutes before the President took the stage that there was a suspicious individual.

That had escape their you know, their gaze.

They didn't know where he was, and as a source told me, at that point, what is supposed to happen is you delay the speech until you find find the guy and figure out what's going on.

And that oftentimes, you.

Know how all government speeches are always delayed that's oftentimes what's going on there? They got somebody, what's going on with that?

Dude?

Yeah, I'll hold on to you know, whoever's speech for a couple of minutes. Do we go talk to him or her and and and then see if they're a threat? Okay, they're not. They're just wearing a wacky T shirt or whatever. Let them start their speed. That's not uncommon at all. They let Trump go up for whatever reason and then stay up even after. Have you seen the new video from the New York Times The number of people that are pointing he's got there, he's got a gun. I mean they're all over the place. The stands are on the grounds or in the building. There's no take him down, take him down of the president. There's no code red, code red. That's just a stilly seconds.

Is a long time. Oh god, yeah, I know. Again.

So we're supposed to refute the conspiracy theory people with oh no, no, it's easy to understand the most crack protective agency on the face of the earth just kind of didn't know what to do for a full ninety seconds. We live our lives on a clock sixty seven sixty second commercials and that sort of thing. Ninety seconds is forever.

It's a long time.

Yeah, we got more on the way. We'll got that coming up. A bunch of other stories, this President Biden. Okay, with this COVID do we know that?

Suppose his code name is Biden's code name.

Mister Burns, Grandpa Simpson. I need Grandpa Simpson live at the More on the way.

Strong, Hey, we got this.

We've got two of breaking news things on a couple of stories.

You want to do yours first? Which one the axios?

Axios is reporting that Joe Biden's going to get out of the race as soon as this weekend.

I don't think that's much of a leap.

They could be guessing just to get quote unquote the scoop because he's got to go.

He's going man.

Oh, man o, man o, man though, I mean because that I mean, okay, And then the immediate next step is so the nominees, who right, I mean, well, that's why they're trying to keep it under wraps. They're trying to not come off as chaotic and be fuddled then in a frenzy because that was a nad luck apparently that was Nancy Pelosi's biggest concern was, you know, can't be can't beat something flailing idiots? Who is going to be the nominee? We have to nail that down. And I wonder if they have. I wonder if they've gotten calm on board, or if they've pushed her out or who knows. But that's going to be interesting to follow. Here's the other interesting thing. Uh, The new timeline from the FBI says the Secret Service knew the shooter was on the roof ten minutes prior to the first shot.

Did they know he was aware of him? Were just no new a shooter? That would mean you know he's a Yes.

So the FBI says the Secret Service knew a shooter was on the roof ten minutes prior to the first shot. Inexcusable, says my contact. How can you not say that's an inside job? Here's the outstanding questions, according to my contact, who in the Secret Service knew?

Did the local agent in charge? No?

Did Trump's detail leader know? You would have to assume noheor they wouldn't let him walk up on stage.

Right.

I'm sorry, I can no longer weigh in on the question of whether it was incompetence or malfeasan's curtly incompetent. You think, well, no, I just yes, I do think that, but I can't defend that.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Feel you're you're concerned somebody had that information and thought, I don't care. Well, I'm not even gonna go there. I just I feel absurd trying to defend that. Oh, yeah, it was incompetence, because I just I can't imagine incompetence of that level. It is once again akin to the failure of the Israeli military on October seventh. Nobody ever thought it could happen, and I still have trouble comprehending it.

Well, I do not. I'm certain.

No, I'm not in the camp yet of thinking there's a conspiracy anything like that. If you, I mean, if you got that information and held on to it, you are part of an assassination plot at that point.

Yeah.

I heard one of my favorite thinkers the other day saying, the Secret Service, and folks have known this for a very long time, needs to be torn down and rebuilt. It has become a bureaucracy like other bureaucracies.

Is there a mistake in this reporting?

The Secret Service knew a shooter was on the building for ten minutes.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes is forever we were talking about. Ninety seconds is a long time. Ten minutes.

Ninety seconds is unforgivable. Ten minutes is incomprehensible. Yeah, you can't even wrap your head around that story. Why there's a lot more to come on this Jesus at present stepping down the Secret Service.

Oh my god, there's too much going on in Milwaukee.
