Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Arm Strong and Jettie and he.

I'm strong and Jetty.

She was happy to merge a campaign, put a campaign together, plan a convention, pick of vice president, and she's come out with several policy proposers already.

So I got news. I just cool your jets here.

There's plenty of time produced and to else. She's gotta sit down, she gotta do a long parm interview.

She's got to do this.

She's got to, you know, in due course.

Sets the raging cage.

And James Carville, who ran Bill Clinton's campaign forty years ago.

Sounds like he got McKinley elected.

Forty two years ago. He ran that campaign forty two years ago, sorright, are thirty two years.

And he was a thirty two years a veteran campaigner at that point. Right, But uh, like she planned the convention. That's ridiculous. They just took Joe Biden's convention. Well in some cases inserted Kamala Harris's name.

Yeah, well that was that was a load of crap. Obviously, if she's ready to be president. She should be able to sit down and do an interview right now about her own policies.

Right right with a liberal media. Please.

It doesn't require anything other than like an hour. Well, that's all it requires. You just need to sit down anywhere. The media would meet you anywhere and accommodate you in any way. Oh yeah, they just want a little to your time. And we all know what's going on here, so there's no point in even even running through it.

All risk, no reward.

We're in Chicago at the convention, in case you didn't know that. So Joe and I we probably shouldn't say this because here we go. In your minds as a listener, you think we're in the arena every night, taking in every speech, but we are not, and we weren't there at all last night. No, when I found out that Joe Biden was speaking at ten forty five, I thought, well, I'm not going.

To do that. Oh no, we had him miserable doing our jobs, and I'm.

Glad that I didn't stay because he ended up speaking forty five minutes later than he was scheduled. They bumped the President of the United States by forty five minutes. Wow, So he was out of prime time. But anyway, we got to keep this in mind if we're planning to come in tonight, because I kind of wanted to be in the arena when the announced Barack Obama because I think that's going to be some ovation, like among the biggest ever. There was one single line for me to get in yesterday. In the afternoon it was an hour wait. Oh by evening it was much longer. Oh boy.

And I don't know if they're going to fix that. I would think so.

In one day, Mark Alpern wrote, if they don't get that fixed, the media will turn on this convention. He said, that's just because the way the media is, if they have to stand out in the hot sun for an hour and a half to get in, they're going to be cranky.

Yikes. Wow, that messes with some of our plans too.

I'm gonna I'm not gonna wait an hour and a half to get into thou the nominee.

I wouldn't right, I'll do it from my hotel room. Got this note from jug was from Doug. He says, guys, is it going to be the Cartman and Getty show? You thinks well? He says after listening to Jack rant about the hippies then talk about his pizza Bang bang.

I was wondering we'd be changing that. So he thinks you're in danger.

Of becoming a a an Eric Cartman type character, ranting constantly about hippies in perfectly spherical.

I'm working on it, Doug. That's pretty funny.

So at the end of the last hour, I was talking about the vulnerability of the GPS systems, which are heavily, heavily, heavily relying on American satellites, and this is man. This reminds me of our discussions about our electrical grids and our water systems.

How fragile it all is. But listen to this, would.

Jack, And before we get into that, how inward turning we are, especially at this convention. It's just so inward and inter like inside baseball politics stuff. Is anybody paying attention to the world on the way it's decaying and what our policies should be and to deal with this?

Well, I'm scanning my poor memory. Did I hear anything about foreign policy last night? Well, last night was the tribute to Joe Biden. Oh, that's which they gave tribute to him by pushing him out of prime time?

Right?

And did they have a foreign policy? Night Tonight's probably abortion night?

Abortion? Last night seemed like abortion night Tonight's abortion Night.

Yeah, everybody gets an abortion. You get an abortion, you get an abortion. Unbelievable anyway?

Where was I? Oh? That's right. So the world keeps spinning.

Many of our critical systems, including the way we keep time on all of our networks, computer networks, radio networks, et cetera, is through the GPS system we all take for granted.

Now that we got the perfect time? Is my Apple Watch, perfect time, my phone? The perfect time right right?

Built by the US military guide missiles very precisely open up for civilian use just two decades ago, gives us location information, powering the navigation systems and maps in our cars and phones. But it also ensures many critical infrastructure systems can read the same clock. Without this accurate timing information, the energy grid would falter and collapse, as the system needs to balance volatile renewables and maintain a constant frequency. Data centers wouldn't be able to share computing loads.

If that sounds like a nightmare to.

Me, he says, If he knows what that means any radio or broadcast network also needs to work off the same clock as do financial trading systems, and then they get into some of the history of it. But many of our critical technology systems that use this would fall apart completely.

Going to be something that happened, Like right now, you'd have to find I have an old style analog watch on one wrist and an app watch on the other. You'd be searching the buildings. Anybody got a regular watch?

Yeah? What time is it? Right? Does anybody would have any idea?

It is no time for us to oh boy, do what we have been doing in that time is every day.

That's what I would say. If somebody else does anybody all the time? It is it is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.

That was perfect.

You know, I should probably get into this scientist's explanation that the signal beamed down to Earth is a mere wisp of electromatic electromagnetic energy. He says the strength of those signals, the GPS signals, is less than some of the cosmic signals coming from the stars. They can therefore be intercepted and adjusted very easily. The Chinese and Russians have already done this. Just ask the Fins. The Russians messed with the Fins.

Or Fins didn't know what time it was is the time to go fishing? I don't know.

Healthcare systems and mobile phones in Finland went on the fritz again. Blah blah blah. So very dangerous, very very vulnerable. But this was my favorite part of the article that was written by Britain. But as Admiral west Lord west of Spitthead explained to Westminster two years ago, he's the Lord west of Spitthead.

There's a place in England called Spitthead. That's the worst name I've ever heard.

Huck Towey, I mean, the yikes did they pronounce it spithy?

Do you suppose look at that? It's about twenty miles from Loogieville. Spitthead.

That's not pretty. I don't care how it got its name. Well, King Arthur, you see, I don't want to know. So Gollie g Willakers, are we vulnerable name? I grew up in Hockerton. It's just two of the rail stumps down the road from Spithead. Ah Man, that is all our phlem related town humor for now.

Well, yeah, I'm just.

I'm picturing, and this might be the thing that prevents, like a kinetic war of bombs and planes and people killing each other. They would just take out all our systems, we'd take out all their systems, and then I guess the leaders would write letters to each other or something saying, hey, we made our point. Huh yeah, we made our point. Huh yeah you did. I see see what you're saying.

Can you turn our clocks back on?

We'll turn on your water if you turn on on electricity, and then we'll get back to functioning.

Mutually assured logistic destruction.

Yeah, mutually assured and conce well, if he got in a damn water, that's more than an inconvenience. Holy cow, this modern world of ours that's built on computers and signals and it's all so fragile.

It's gonna happen at some point.

It's inevitable and and there's gonna be a great reaction of how the hell did this happen?

Who's to blame?

Uh?

And I hope we have been this vulnerable?

Yeah, well yeah, and a whole bunch of people getting back to the ignorant voter, a whole bunch of people that don't pay attention to this sort of thing ever, are gonna go nuts.

So right, and yet there's nothing about foreign policy, at least so far at the convention here, and almost nothing about national security in general, and certainly nothing about this. It's just, you know, how generous to Santa Claus we're going to be compared to the other parties.

Santa Claus, how much are we going to make other taxpayers give you at the point of a prison sentence?

Right?

What are the themes for the various nights? I'm going to look that up during the commercial break because I'm kind of interested in that. Tonight's the Obama theme. I think Barack and Michelle speaking well every night is we heard abortion? Obviously, absolutely, God the number of stories last night about their wonderful abortions.

I think it's just got to be since that's obviously one of the few things they really have to hammer because you're not going to do the economy except in that Orwellian fashion. It's great, it's doing great, everybody loves it. You just they're making abortions such an outsized dish.

How would think you, I would think, even if you're full one hundred per pro choice. Last night, you watch a convention, need have thought, all, right, enough women walking out tell me about their abortion, right, This is not what I want to sit down and do on a Monday evening.

Right.

A woman walks out on stage, and I thought, let me guess she had an abortion. There she starts into her story. I was twenty years old, I had a boyfriend, you know.

Okay, I want to tell you about education, and I couldn't have completed my education without my abortion.

Right exactly, yeah, endlessly. Okay, we'll figure out the fiends and some other stuff. Live from Chicago coming up.

Armstrong and Getty and I for one, and tired about of hearing about how a two bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every.

Single day to live working people out from one of the books to breed, traveling on our way of life. So that was AOC and she killed it last night. The crowd absolutely loved her, and she really yeah, she got yeah, she got them, got them, she got those real. Roseanne bar can read another woman aos was killed it with her socialists up with government talk. So the theme of last night, I wait I've found this amusing since I was a kid watching conventions. You talk about something, you know that there's a dozen people involved in the theme, and they have meetings for hours at a time.

Oh yeah, and.

Go back and forth and get into heated discussions over what the theme should be.

And what order the days should unfold. And it is completely meaningful.

It was. It doesn't matter at all to the real world.

There's not a chance, No, there's not a chance that that ninety percent of the human beings even know there's a theme, and of the ten that do that it has any effect on their voting, right. I find that hilarious because it's so so corporate. I mean, it just it's the sort of thing that you do at work. Anyway. The title of the four day convention, so the overarching theme is for the people, for our future.

So that's the overall theory of politics.

Now that you know that, of course you'll take in everything with a different filter.

Oh yeah, hell yeah. That changes everything.

Then for last night, the theme was for the people, which I'm sure you picked up on for the people abortions for the people? Right, is that what the theme was? It seemed like the theme was every woman should get an abortion immediately.

Yeah.

The people being aborted, it's not for them, nobly not, it's murdering them.

The theme for Monday was for the people.

For Tuesday, which with people Michelle will let me keep Barack Obama.

Let me guess two for one, cherry slurpies. That's the theme tonight.

That's a nod theme, something about hope, hope and change.

You could throw out any of that kind of platitude and it would be fine. Yes, a bold vision from America's future. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I said exactly. That's a bold vision for America's future.

Change. Yes, Wednesday, now none of them will see views of America.

Please Wednesday, keeping mind, keep it bold, keeping in mind, Wednesday completely different theme than Tuesday. Right, you'll know this a vast difference when the theme is a fight for our freedoms.

Yes, yes, the freedom to have an abortion, for instance, well loaded to no other ones.

Both both parties do this. They have the theme and they act like it means something.

The freedom to put pornography in schools for little children, right, the freedom to cut off your son's penis if he's at the least bit effeminate.

And that's the liberals.

The freedom to take away your plastic bags and plastic straws. You have the freedom to make you drive electric cars even if it doesn't make sense environmentally or financially, right, that's the freedom we're talking about. Yes, and getting a drive your electric car to the abortion clinic.

I got a tear rolling down my cheek.

But bring a carry bag, not no plastic or paper at the abortion clinic when we send you home with your Yeah. And then Thursday's theme, in which Kamala Harris will accept the nomination that she didn't earn at all. How's gonna mention that? I guess she'll just act like it was the normal process.

She does have the support of the Party Faithful, so she'll probably just phrase it like that, Yeah, do your.

Support means so much to me?

Though, your support through the years.

A couple of them, anyway, just a couple of Well.

Thursday's theme is I thought we already had this one for her future. Excuse me, I think we had that theme on Tuesday. No, no, no, no, Tuesday was different. Thursday's theme is for a future. Well, wait a minute, what was Tuesday? Wednesday was a fight for freedoms. Tuesday was a bold vision. Okay, see completely different. Tuesday was a bold vision for America's future, as opposed to Thursday, which is for our future a load of crap. Wow can you play that?

Wow?

This is the way we decide who's going to be the most powerful person in the world. And as the treasurer of some swing state, when I get up to give my three minutes worth of speech at four fifty in the afternoon, exactly.

How we've that in there a little bit?

I know, we fight for our future, or chart a course for a future, look to the future.

Something in Wisconsin like nobody else.

And that's why Southwest segment of Wisconsin's USDA we believe in a bold future.

Eh, what have fun? Whatever?

Sound and fury signifying trillions of dollars in the posting. Yeah.

On the other hand, the specifics of it, I mean.

This is just so you know. I've had friends jat story. What's Well, yeah, it is, it's They asked, so what happens at it? What's what's it's? It's a party to reward the faithful, the party faithful who've been working for years to get to this point and to rally them and send them forth to do the really hard work of getting people to their polls. But I mean, somebody could deliver a speech with the eloquence of Lincoln, the force of MLK, and then flap their arms and fly around the room in defiance of science and the laws of God.

And two weeks later it wouldn't make poops worth a difference. No, Yeah, it's funny.

We were in in Uber yesterday Joe and I and the guy who clearly doesn't follow politics. Good for him, I guess, said, what do they do there? Not an easy, clear answer, you know, I said.

I said, well, they have a lot of meetings. They come together at night, and there are a lot of speeches and they all cheer.

Yeah. And he was like, surely there's more than that.

No.

Yeah, you know what's funny is the the aggressive coverage of this by news media, since really nothing of any note is going to happen, or really could. We're here to observe and comment and mock mock, and I'm enjoying it.

But yeah, news wise.

Michael, think of what I should eat tonight? Okay, during the commercial break, I went to two pizzas on Sunday or at Ribs last night. I need a suggestion from Michael more on the way from Chicago's stay here, art and folks.

I've got five months left in my presidency. I've got a lot to do. I intend to get it done. You see, spend the honor in my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job, but I love my country more.

I'm not a completely emasculated lame duck at all. That's a weird thing.

Now, the whole deal was weird, and I think they probably handled it as good as you could. They gave the old man a speech the first night at midnight, and uh, how was it is? David said, it is Obama's campaign manager and the oh Biden camp and the Biden camp apparently don't like each other that much. But David Axrod said, it looks like Biden gave the same speech he was planning to give on Thursday and he thought.

He was going to be the nominee. Didn't change it at all.

How interesting, Other than like that line there at the end, Yeah, is it worth reading anything into the fact that the Democratic official platform still mentions Joe Biden twenty four times as if he's going to be the president.

Can't you just do a.

Hunt and a find and replace on Microsoft word what I doesn't matter?

Yeah, what I would read into it as party platforms now mean so little it's not even worth the five minutes it would take to do it.

Yeah, you spent five hundred dollars printing it out.

That's I'm not going to waste another five hundred dollars.

It's really wild that we have these two parties and they what they stand for no longer matters, because you're going to pick a personality and you're going to go with whatever they decide they want to do at any given done.

Yeah, and yet a lot of.

The traditions persist for reasons nobody can cite.

It's odd. Human beings are odd.

Speaking of the passage of time, especially for long, long, long time listeners who heard me announce the arrival of my daughter, Delaney back in nineteen ninety nine. She started law school today, and I've been talking to her fair amount about it, and her the one thing she was really really nervous about, because this is a big thing in law school, is cold calling. So you do your reading or whatever you study. What you're studying, you read about the case. Then the next day you go into class and the professor looks at the list and says, miss Getty, tell us about the seven most important principles of this case, and you stand up on.

Your hofes and can you deliver? Wow?

Why don't all classes do that? I don't know, but she was really nervous about it. Day one actually the first person called. She got called and Judy was texting with her and asked her how it went.

And she said, considering there were like seven questions, I did pretty.

Well on five of them. But the dust is off. She's been through it. I think that's a blessing because I could see myself. I could picture it so easily sitting there stewing and sweating and thinking, oh God, oh God, oh God. And then day two goes by and day three and I know it's calming, and you might.

Build it up in your head.

How many students are there? Do you have any idea in that particular class?

No idea? How long is law school two?

Three years? Three years? Three years?

Wow, that's a long time.

Yeah, you're in L one, then you're in L two, then you're in L three. That's the terminology. There is apparently. And year one all of your classes are decided, so you get the basic curriculum tortes and contracts and whatever hell else, and then you start to choose and maybe specialize year three, but you just walk in and do what you told year one study like a maniac.

I want to You probably know the statistics own it that are probably easily available. How many people after that first year decided?

Nah?

The same for me? That's a great question. I do not know the about it. Pretty big chunk. It's significant.

Yeah, yeah, a lot of people like pass the bar and then think that too.

Oh geez, yeah, yeah, that's I know. I had to listen to that. Sarah Sarah Iger of The Dispatch. She went to Harvard Law. She and David French, also Harvard Law, who writes for the New York Times, talking about they both had those moments getting out of Harvard Law of like, I don't want to do any of this stuff right, and if I do it really well and I get promoted to the person above me, I don't.

Want to do that either.

And that can happen in a lot of you know, not just law, but in a lot of industries where you think I don't like what I'm doing, and if I'm successful, I don't want to do that either.

In fact, it looks worse. That's one of the tough parts of life.

What's that I have the Brady Bunch clip about the law.

If you ever want to hear about it.

Well, yeah, that says your daughter. Know this, This is what she says. Is one of the things l ones have to know.

You see, in this country, we're very proud to have a process known as the law. And under the law, a man is presumed innocent until he's proven guilty.

Right, Dad.

In other words, we don't hang anybody without a fair trial. Everybody knows that, sure, but sometimes we tend to forget. Well, I'm glad you understand. I'll see you kids later. I have to go shopping with your money.

Hmmm.

That's one difference in the seventies, more casual references to hangings on our sitcoms. And you're going to see that. Good children to children. Yes, children, Now.

I'm a secretly gay and I have to go shopping with your mother. Everyone knows that, Dad.

Everyone knows that Dad, and everyone knows that that's right, Martha.

That is our We love that clip. The Brady Bunch from the seventies where Dad sits him down and he has a little little, uh, a little speech about hanging try to teach the kids something about life exact.

I don't recall the circumstance. And did Bobby throw a ball through a window like that? I'm sure Cindy let.

The dog loose? I don't. I don't know. But the principal remains. We don't hang a man without a trial.

Everyone knows that, Dad, Right, Dad, I'm gonna go shopping at your mother. Talk to her about hanging her other forms of capital punishment anyway.

Yeah, I know somebody who now kids.

Any evidence of tained through torture isn't admissible.

Everybody knows that, Dad. That's right.

You can't beat a confession out of a man in America, I know, Dad.

We don't waterboard a man unless we think he knows where hostages, unless he's in al Qaeda.

Everybody knows that, Dad.

No, I gotta go to the mall with your mom. I tire of this, this whole thing, the convention, the election, this show, the show. I like the show, but the convention in the election. I'm over the election.

So if you were Michael Jordan, and you saw the beautiful bronze statue of him dunking over some poor unfortunate tongue a wagon.

That statue is right foot. I have you ever seen that statue?

Michael?

You're a big NBA fan.

Anytime there's a Bulls game, they always show the Jordan's statue in the lobby. Oh, it's cool, take a picture and I'll send it to you right now. Yeah, it's awesome.

But would you have asked the sculpture the sculptor to de emphasize your jug ears because MJ has very very prominent ears.

Well, they want to make it look like the guy, right.

Yeah, but every portrait artist knows you dress it up a little bit.

You use the what are your photo?

Your Instagram filters that all the gals use. You got to do that a little bit with a portrait. You want the person who's sitting for you to be flattered. How about that big.

Giant head of Martin Luther King Junior Washington, DC that if they give you fifty guesses, you wouldn't.

Guess it was m right if you didn't know.

Yeah, but I'm telling you, you're paying somebody to paint your portrait, you pay him ten thousand bucks or something like that, and you come out looking ugly. You're pissed off.

I want it to look better than me. Well, exactly everybody does.

That's why when you go to an art museum, if you see everybody on every portrait was not that good looking. And if you see somebody who's just flat ugly in a portrait, they're a goblin.

My life.

I sent you the picture of Michael. Michael's back in California or in Chicago. Did you see that thing that groc did the other day, grok to one of the AI things where they brought old timey paintings or pictures or drawings to life.

I did not see that. Yeah.

So it was like, you know, Van God did a lot of self portraits. This is what Van Go would look like if you were a life today. And so it was. It was that guy and it was wild. And did it with George Washington, Start Lincoln, a bunch of them and it was like they're moving around.

Yeah, it was wild. Wow, I gotta check that out. Super cool. Yeah, huh.

Avoiding talking about politics best we can more coming up from Chicago next. Armstrong Hengetti.

As a prosecutor, Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety. Donald Trump fell asleep at his.

Own trial, and when he woke up, he made his own kind of history, the first person to run for president with thirty four felony convictions.

As vice president, lock him up, they started.

Come, Ala said in the situation room.

So most I thought people just commit crimes because they're poor, including Donald Trump.

Most pundits took that as she was taking great glee in the crowd channing lock him up after what Trump crowds had done to her.

I doubt it.

I doubt she takes glee in anything about the twenty sixteen election. No, because she was eighty thousand votes short of being president of the United States. You would never get over that. Yeah, ever lost to the guy from the Apprentice, you would never get over that. So any reminder of the whole thing and how it went down, and thinking about if I had, you know, visited Michigan once or five times, or any of those things, it would not be pleasant, right right.

I wonder how that'll play.

The emphasizing the Alvin bragg ridiculous trial probably God, does that matter to anybody?

I don't think it does that it didn't already effect.

The other thing that I was curious about is to what extent we would hear about climate change, because that was like a never ending drum beat during the primaries. I mean it was I mean, obviously it was just Biden, but that was the message out of the Democratic Party over and over and over again. It's all about climate change. The demonstrations is everything climate change. And I haven't heard really anything about it, and I wonder if it's because and we can hit this a little harder.

Yesterday JD.

Vance with a great piece in the Wall Street Journal Harris Wage's war on US energy, his point being especially working America, poorer America.

Needs cheap energy.

They need a thriving, growing economy, and they cannot be saddled with high bills for the gas in their cars and the heat in their homes and that sort of thing. It's rich guys don't care what the price of gas is or what they pay for their energy BUI.

They might be annoyed by it, but it's okay.

The working class gets hurt badly by expensive energy, and all of the Democratic schemes for going green and unplugging coal and even natural gas and that sort of thing are incredibly damaging to working class people.

So you get that. Then a couple other.

Headlines, clean fuel startups were supposed to be the next big thing. Now they are collapsing. Nobody's putting money into them. Nobody. Another one, how booming electricity demand is stalling efforts to retire coal and gas in charts. A lot of that driven by the need for computing power for AI or advanced processors and stuff. And that's the Silicon Valley lobby right there. Silicon Valley is terrified of, like seriously unplugging part in the expression from fossil fuels. They despise that idea. Even if they espouse it, they don't want it.

My biggest problem with any of this is a number of my favorite pundits who I've listened to or I think sort of agree with me. I seek out people that agree with me so I feel better about myself that there's just there's so little that policy matters.

At this point. I just don't know.

It's just you can either you either dig Trump's whole thing or you don't.

If you do you're willing to vote for me, and if you don't, you won't.

And I don't know if any policy decision makes any difference.

Surely it helps around the edges. Oh, I'm sure.

Surely it pushes a few percent of voters, which is all it takes, right, Man, I saw the breakdown, and I guess something to talk about.

Yeah, I saw the breakdown. Well, and it's freaking important. Yes, But I saw a breakdown of the last election the other day. It was whatever, it was, one hundred and fifty thousand votes spread around five states. It's unbelievable that we've had two elections in a row that were that close. I mean, it's just shocking. So yeah, you get to around the edge as it matters.

And getting back to our ongoing conversation, I'm picturing those, you know, a couple of tens of thousands of voters in each of those battleground states. They cannot be policy savvy, no, otherwise they'd know who they're voting for. No, So, getting back to our if we could abduct Terry mccauliffe and a close relative and force him to tell us the truth, or alternately hit him with a vile full of sodium pentathal terry, what percentage of your job is swaying? Stupid voters are completely uninformed. Stupid Stupid's not the right term. It's a good term, though. No, Keety, you're a gentle soul, he says.

Do you do you have friends like you hang out with it don't pay attention to politics?

Majority of them don't.

Yeah, and so how do they make their decisions based on what you can glean? Because they probably don't want to talk about it because they're not it. It's not how they live their lives.

Yeah, most of them just kind of go off of what they hear from their siblings or parents or I actually had a friend once that said she really liked AOC because she was cute.

Wow yeah wow, Well, and a general feeling about their personality. I can't believe I got as old as I did before it occurred to me that the hold, you know, I go with whatever party I really just I like their style, and you know the candidate that just I find them more charismatic.

That is an astoundingly dopey reason to vote one way or the other.

It really is.

It's indefensible.

And you only do that if you don't think policy matters, that the same policies are going to be regardless.

I have some final thoughts, and some people say they are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if you look at what's happening, I would have to say Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.

We didn't play the clip of Trump saying he's better looking than Kamala Harris. I thought that was pretty funny, especially very important. Here's your house for final thoughts, Joe Gettie.

Let's get a final thought from everyone on the crew to wrap things up for the day. There is our technical director in the studio, Michael Angelo.

Michael, Yeah, I got the eight in for Jacks for tonight.
