Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Joe Getty
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Every poll that meets CNN standards in September, Mandani has had a double digit lead. If Slave were to get out, there.
Jack Armstrong
Was an effort to do that.
Joe Getty
He refuses to do that. Then you'd have a closer race. So it looks like he's going to win. Early voting is underway.
Jack Armstrong
We'll count the votes on Tuesday. Imagine if he does.
Joe Getty
A young Muslim immigrant. Mayor thinks Donald Trump is wrong on just about everything. Inevitable.
Jack Armstrong
The confrontation with the mayor of the hometown where Donald Trump grew up. He has like new ideas that are like different.
Joe Getty
Like the grocery stores which, like, you.
Jack Armstrong
Know, something like that.
Joe Getty
Okay, like maybe that won't work out. But I think the idea that he's like, I have this new policy proposal or like the free buses is like inspiring. Are you asking me? You're telling me.
Jack Armstrong
Because your, your, your intonation went up toward the end. That's usually the sign of a question, but it sounded like a statement. So I don't know, an empty headed.
Joe Getty
Twit there filling us in on why she's excited, on why she's excited, on why she's excited.
Jack Armstrong
By the way, we're throwing in this breaking ish news right after that. So John King there, I recognize his voice of cnn. First of all, everything's gotta be made about Trump. So Mamdani winning as a communist Jew hating mayor of the most important city on earth, it's its relationship to Trump that makes it interesting. Okay, if you say so. But the FBI says they spoiled an ISIS inspired plot that was set to go off today on Halloween. A bunch of Dearborn people. Dearborn, Michigan. Where they got shock. Yeah, exactly.
Joe Getty
Where they got a serious.
Jack Armstrong
Islam problem. And now you got this guy who seems to be pretty much in league with that crowd who might be mayor of New York City.
Joe Getty
I firmly believe he is. Yeah, absolutely. So we will begin one of a series of stories and thoughts about Mr. Mamdani with the great, the wise, the learned Peggy Noonan writing for the Wall Street Journal, and she makes a handful of different points I'm going to skip around a little bit. But she writes, new York should breathe deep, think twice, then think again before electing specialist mayoral candidate Zoran Mundani. He is barely 34, has never had a real job, was elected five years ago to the state assembly, which is a badge you wear while you scrounge around for attention and connections. This isn't the resume of the person you want in a position to guide the future of one of the largest economies in the world. Then she makes the point that particularly post Covid what new and post de Blasio what New York in particular and particularly that's right. Sorry, sir. That in the wake of all that stuff they really need what the city needs is an air of energy, bounce, expansion, more enterprise, more of a welcoming attitude for the woman who wants to open a small store or new business, new restaurant, make it easier for her. We don't need more of the dead hand of government. We need to return more of a sense to the young that striving is still a realistic attitude, that grieving for a system that seems broken and can't fit you in is premature. And then she goes into various of his tax the rich Democratic Socialists of America policies and actually, and this is an amusing part of her column, but it's a little long, but she talks about how in the areas that surround New York City, Westchester County, Connecticut, across the river in New Jersey and stuff like that, in the affluent neighborhoods, if there's an open house, there are SUVs double parked down the block, said one realtor, it looks like the Knicks excuse me, it looks like the Knicks are at the Garden right now, as affluent New Yorkers are already trying to flee the city. But then she gets into the more significant part. To me, Mr. Muhamdani has long been accused of a deep, persistent antisemitism. I won't quote the clips suddenly flooding social media, the apparent results of somebody's late and incompetent oppo research, of his saying things that betray to my ear an obvious animus. There is a reason more than one American rabbis have warned his victory would threaten the safety of Jews. Then my favorite part. He closed out his campaign this week unembarrassed, to manipulate, implying that if you don't vote for him, it just might be because you're Islamophobic. In a speech outside the Islamic Cultural center of the Bronx, he said, to be a Muslim in New York is to expect indignity. But indignity does not make us distinct. There are many New Yorkers who face us, face it, blah, blah, blah. And then she goes into his infamous aunt story and how he says, I want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab. Getting back to Peggy Noonan here, his voice caught. It was quite something. He was talking about the city is asking to choose him to lead and accusing it of casual and habitual bigotry. The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet for too long, we've been told to ask for less than be satisfied with whatever little we receive. Then it turned out, of course, that the whole thing was made up. And then he.
Jack Armstrong
And then. Nobody really has been claiming that. That's an ongoing problem in New York. Anti Muslim bias.
Joe Getty
No, it's one of the most tolerant and diverse cities on earth. And then she points out, and I had not heard this. This is another part of his infamous Muslims unite and if you don't vote for me, you're an Islamophobe. Part of the speech. 52. Michael. I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I am proud to call my own. But there is one thing that I will change. I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light. The hell are you talking about? You were born into the top rung of New York society, a Columbia professor who lectures against colonialism. And your mom's a multiple Academy Award nominations, successful film company.
Jack Armstrong
So your mom gets nominated for Oscars. Your dad's a Columbia professor, and you're saying I'll no longer live in the shadows.
Joe Getty
I will not change who I am. Zoran, nobody asked you to. Not I will won't change what I eat. Who asked you to? I will not change the faith that I'm proud to belong to. Nobody asked you to. I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light. What the hell are you talking about, man?
Jack Armstrong
Some people are really good at being, you know, the downtrodden, even if they're the opposite.
Joe Getty
Yeah. All right, so here are a handful of stories for you real quick. Since the main thing we need to fear is Islamophobia, here's a headline from the Free Beacon. They've called for terrorism against Jews. Now they're teaching New York City public school students how to organize. Pro Hamas activists Abdullah Akal and Mohammed Badawi have called to strike Tel Aviv and destroy the illegitimate Zionist occupiers and all of their supporters. And now they're launching an initiative to form student chapters in dozens of New York public high schools. Okay, that's great, super. But it's Islamophobia we ought to be afraid of. The DSA is more radical than ever and they're winning. Uh, it's a great piece by Eli Lake. We don't have time for that, but we'll get to it later. But we need to be worried about Islamophobia. This is from the Free Press. Maya Sulkin, CARE official. That's the Council on American Islamic Relations. That's the group that the FBI said they would no longer work with. Shortly after 9 11, CARE official joins Hamas leader at an Al Aqsa flood event. Do you know what the Al Aqsa flood is that they were celebrating? That's the attacks of October 7, 2023. A care event. The Muslim group's Ohio director said he was there as a Palestinian American. Okay, fine. Here's another one if you're not tired of this media outlet affiliated with radical Dearborn, Michigan. Preacher calls on Muslims to celebrate and repeat Charlie Kirk' assassination. Ahmad Moo Moussa Jabril, who served six and a half years in prison for conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, possession of firearms, ammunition is a popular figure among ISIS terrorists. But we what we need to fear is Islamophobia. Here's another headline for you. All of these in the last couple of days. New York City news nonprofit, which was hailed as a savior of local journalism, hired pro Hamas organizer who raised money for terrorists and defended assassination of those young Israeli diploma. You remember when those two kids who just worked at the embassy were murdered? This journalist for the City, a New York City nonprofit hailed as a beacon of hope for local journalism, said that the assassination of the two young people in Washington D.C. was morally justified. But no, what we ought to fear is Islamophobia.
Jack Armstrong
Came across this yesterday, is really interesting. Elon Musk tweeted this out. So he was responding to a story. This is in Great Britain, not in the United States. But it was footage that was making the rounds this week of an Afghan attacking some English people there in England, killing one man, injuring two others. So they've had a fair amount of back and forth unrest between Muslim immigrants and people that were born there around all kinds of different issues, including the.
Joe Getty
Rape gangs and the government officials who covered up for the rape gangs with.
Jack Armstrong
The always caveat of there's plenty of people who for them being Muslim is just like being Methodist. You're not going to have any effect on your life. But there are hardcore fundamentalist Muslims all over the place, like in Dearborn, Michigan, that just got arrested as part of this ISIS plot. Anyway, this is what Elon Musk wrote yesterday. I thought it was interesting when Tolkien wrote about the hobbits. He was referring to the gentlefolk of the English shires who don't realize the horrors that take place far away. They were able to live their lives in peace and tranquility, but only because they were protected by the hard men of Gondor. What happened to the nice men in England who was brutally murdered while walking his dog could happen anywhere in England. If the tide of illegal immigration is not turned, it is time for the English to ally with the hard men and fight for their survival. But I thought that was interesting as a, you know, metaphor or whatever.
Joe Getty
Yeah, agreed. Final note on this topic, and it's a funny one. As the New York City mayors race entered entered its home stretch this week, a reporter for the Times of London, Bevin Hurley, sent an email to Bill de Blasio. He wanted to know what the former mayor of New York City thought about the upcoming race. And I heard this story. He received an incredible response. While de Blasio has supported Zoran Mamdani's campaign, the former mayor confessed in an email to the New Zealand born journalist that while he admired Mamdani's ambition, the Democratic nominee was making, quote, dangerously optimistic assumptions about how much money the new taxes would bring. In quote, in my view, the math doesn't hold up under scrutiny and the political hurdles are substantial. The Times picked it up, rushed to print the explosive story. The New York Post quickly aggregated and amplified it. An aide to Cuomo weighed in to amplify the story. The only problem, the email had not come from the former mayor. It was a liquor distributor dude by the name of Bill de Blasio.
Jack Armstrong
Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, that's kind of too bad. I was hoping that even Bill de Blasio had decided, nah, this guy's too far out there. But that's not what.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I know. I was disappointed by this too, but yeah. And the guy didn't know that they're looking for the former mayor. And it didn't never made itself clear. But the story made it around the world.
Jack Armstrong
Of course it did. Okay, I gotta reveal the hot costume for couples. And it's perfect if you gotta throw something together last minute. Now you're gonna have to, you know, stifle some vomiting It's.
Joe Getty
It's perfect if you want people to hate you. But it's easy. Not enough people really hate us. I've got an idea for a Halloween.
Jack Armstrong
Costume among other things on the way. Stay here.

I'll bet this happens at fast food restaurants all across the country. This is in an in and out yesterday. They are calling the numbers for your order. If it's ready. They'd already called 66. Now they call. Oh my God, that is some serious enthusiasm because it was time to call order 67.
Joe Getty
I hate this. And I've finally figured out why. And I've been accused of being a joy kill. But I figured it out. It's because it is the reductio ad absurdum of the modern age. It is the meme, the trend that has no content, right?
Jack Armstrong
But as I've diagnosed it, and I think I'm 100% right, it's because we lack shared experiences and now we're just so desperate for them. I was talking about how wearing my Dodgers hat the other day after the big baseball game, all of the people that brought it up to me oh, so you watch a game last night and we Started talking about the game. It gave me a feeling of like, comfort and community. I don't remember the last time I had that. And you used to have it all the time, but you can't really anymore because there are no shared pop culture things. And we can't share politics, which is our number one pop culture topic for.
Joe Getty
It'S like our entertainment and our sports and what attracts us to the opposite sex. Straight people. I want to hear.
Jack Armstrong
I want to hear that again. So this is just all they're doing it in and out is it's time to call out the number 6, 7. Listen to the enthusiasm.
Joe Getty
And the, the in and out person obviously was. Was completely down.
Jack Armstrong
It probably happens five times every day. So they. They know the routine. So I was going to mention that the most popular couple costume you can wear if you want something easy to throw together is you both wear a T shirt or a sweatshirt. One of you's got a six, one of you got a seven. So you go with six, seven to Halloween party. And then of course you got to be prepared to be punched in the face.
Joe Getty
But yeah. Yeah. I guess the other part of it is that it's disrupted so many classrooms, which is a reminder that teachers don't have control of the classrooms anymore, which bothers me. You know, at its essence, it's fine. It's just kids being silly, which I'm firmly in favor of. But it makes me sad for the reasons you've enunciated.
Jack Armstrong
But if that's not the costume you want to wear, how about some Armstrong and Getty wear? The new Armstrong and Getty superstore, which we just kicked off today or yesterday or sometime.
Joe Getty
What do we have there?
Jack Armstrong
New sweatshirts.
Joe Getty
Dude, these sweatshirts are awesome. Cool. Oh, yeah, the hoodies are great. Yeah, they're really good. And have some fabulous A G logo. And. And I gotta check it out, the new stuff. But for your favorite ang fan for Christmas time, maybe it's you help spread the word and tell people what you think.
Jack Armstrong
We've had some real crap in the past, but this is high quality stuff right here. I mean, the kids in China sewing this stuff. We had like, I don't know, kids with dyslexia or something. In the past, they were not doing a good job sewing up our stuff, but now we got really the top tier child labor working on this stuff in China.
Joe Getty
And they did such a good job, we bonused them all two cents at the end of the week. So. Which is a 20% bonus. So anyway, wow. Enjoy their good work. Armstrongandgetty.com the Armstrong and Getty Store yeah, that's, that's the world's worst commercial. Anyway, what do we have coming up? I don't even remember.
Jack Armstrong

Joe Getty
Charlie, quick note. The starve the lazy Armstrong and Getty champion hoodie. Very attractive.
Jack Armstrong
I'll wear that.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. So this is audio from. And we played this yesterday, but there's more. Now this is from an Arkansas cop who has pulled over a well, has approached a semi truck that is parked way too close to traffic on the side of the road.
Jack Armstrong
Why are you parked here? Yeah, you understand English? Why did you park here? No. No good. I'm Officer Eddings, Arkansas Highway Police. I need your driver's license. Is there anybody else in the truck? Your company? Okay, you don't understand English? Put you some clothes on.

Jack Armstrong
Okay, first of all, if I had A nickel for every time somebody with authority told me to put my pants back on. I'd have a lot of money. I mean, we've all been there. Teachers, cops.
Joe Getty
Sure. Airline stewardesses, librarians.
Jack Armstrong
I mean, we've all been told, put some pants on.
Joe Getty
Has Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation, said anything about. I think he has. About cracking down on the unlicensed commercial drivers.
DraftKings Advertiser
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
He threatened to withhold $40 million from California if they don't start enforcing their. You got to be able to speak, read and write English. Drive a semi truck.
Joe Getty
You got to be able to read signs, in other words. Yeah. And understand traffic laws. Yeah.
DraftKings Advertiser
Good.
Joe Getty
It's about time. We need to crack down on that like crazy. And, of course, Executive Producer Hansen never misses a chance to get with his AI songwriting program and unleash this pants. You gotta put some pants on.
Jack Armstrong
If you get pulled over by the highway patrol.
Joe Getty
You just make sure.
Jack Armstrong
That you're wearing pants. There you go. I mean, how many. Like I said, how many times have I heard that?
Joe Getty
It's hard to pick a favorite between that approach and the dance remix approach of the actual audio. I do kind of enjoy the actual audio approach as well.
Jack Armstrong
But the person. The person taking my order at the Jamba Juice. I mean, the list goes on and on. Please, sir.
Joe Getty
I really do enjoy that brand of 70s funk.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah.
Joe Getty
Love that music. Yeah. So I thought this was so interesting. Seth Dillon, who is the guy who runs the Babylon Bees, one of their chief idea guys is just brilliant. Funny guy. Wrote a piece for the Free Press entitled the Foolishness of no Enemies to the Right. As CEO of Babylon Bee, I'm in the business of mocking bad ideas. They're on the right as well as the left. And he's talking about the. Oh, you know, I could probably just read it to you. He's a very good writer, but he's talking about the philosophy that, hey, we're conservatives. There's some people out on our right wing or are completely nuts. But listen, we gotta train our fire. Firepower on the left. No enemies to the right. And he says bad ideas are like cancer. If you don't deal with them quickly and decisively, they spread. One way to deal with bad ideas is to refute them. As C.S. lewis said, good philosophy must exist if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. Another is to satirize them. Ridiculing bad ideas stops them from being taken seriously. This is the mission of the Babylon Bee. Explains what the Babylon Bee is. We mock anyone and anything that deserves it. Not just because it's funny, but because it's imperative. Bad ideas taken seriously have catastrophic consequences, he writes. I'm a conservative and it's fair to say that a lot of the bad ideas we make fun of at the Babylon Bee are progressive ones. Recently, however, I've come under fire from fellow conservatives for pointing out what should be obvious. There are bad ideas on the right too. Never scrutinize your friends, I'm told. Focus on the enemy. They're the ones promoting abortion on demand, gender transition for minors, open borders, censorship, dei and a whole host of other absurdities that no one from a couple of decades ago would have believed could ever become mainstream. 100% true. And he writes, I've steadfastly opposed these ideas. I've spent years and millions of dollars fighting them in both the courts and the culture. But what if those aren't the only bad ideas? If bad ideas spread like cancer, shouldn't we check them for them everywhere? I recently visited an imaging center for a diagnostic CAT scan. I'm glad the technician wasn't only interested in scanning left side of my body. And then he makes the point that the phrase or the idea no enemies to the right comes straight out of the French Revolution when the warning was my French is very bad. No enemies to the left. It was meant to establish strength through unity, but it quickly turned into an excuse to avoid self scrutiny, a way out of confronting one's own radicals by insisting the only real danger was on the other side. And he makes the point quite eloquently that that will destroy your side. It will destroy conservatism.
DraftKings Advertiser
Sure.
Joe Getty
It will render your arguments repugnant to people because they've been become infected with the crazies.
Jack Armstrong
Absolutely. I regularly don't know about regularly, but I have had in my life if somebody finds out, you, whatever you call yourself, libertarian, conservative, conservative adjacent, whatever, and then they bring up some fanciful thing so you believe blank no, I don't believe that. I don't agree with that.
Joe Getty
What?
Jack Armstrong
I don't have to agree with everything. There's no law.
Joe Getty
So Seth writes ridiculous ideas like pregnant when men and drag shows for kids were almost impossible to satirize. I often said the hardest part of our job at the Babylon Bee was coming up with jokes that were more absurd than whatever Democrats were doing in real life. This should serve as a warning to the right. Ordinary people have their limits. Push too hard and you start losing people. My argument now is simply this. If the right doesn't learn from the left's mistakes. We risk suffering the same fate. It may already be too late. Bad ideas and those pushing them seem to be multiplying by the day. Nick Fuentes, a man who glorifies Hitler, has grown his reach and influence dramatically in the recent months, finding his way onto mainstream platforms. And he mentions Fuentes is set to appear on Tucker Carlson's podcast. Well, he did appear on it and it did not disappoint. More on that later. And then he goes on to the increasing influence of.
Jack Armstrong
I just looked it up.
Joe Getty
Of that sort of person.
Jack Armstrong
So Nick Fuentes, Trump had dinner with him. Right. Wasn't that one of the controversial ones? And the belief is Trump didn't really know who he was and should be more careful about who he sits down to dinner with. But Nick Fuentes is a. Well, describe him.
Joe Getty
In short, he's a Jew hating white supremacist racist. He's everything. That's the worst character caricature of the right come to pass. And I want to get back.
Jack Armstrong
I guess his interview on Tucker Carlson is really something. I haven't seen it. I'm going to watch it, but I just looked it up on Twitter. He's got. Nick has a million followers. A million.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yep. Enormously influential on the young, what's sometimes called the woke. Right. Interestingly enough, the Free Beacon, which is one of my favorite publications, as a piece by Andrew Stiles and Thalia Ramp entitled Watch Tucker Carlson solicits marriage counseling from squirrely virgin Nick Fuentes. Carlson tells cherubic influencer Nick Fuentes he's sorry for calling him a weird little gay kid who lives in his basement. But it is, and I'm encouraged by this. Harshly critical of their conversation. Harshly critical, blah, blah, blah. The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh has repeatedly promised he will unite with anyone on the right. Presumably this radically inclusive offer extends even to the openly racist and anti Semitic groipers who called for the death of his own boss, Ben Shapiro. Whenever I criticize the bad ideas on our side, antisemitism, historically illiterate revisionism, baseless conspiracy theories, authoritarian impulses. A mob forms to accuse me of treachery and betrayal. I'm attacked for punching right, dividing the movement or hurting the cause. The slogan no enemies to the right isn't a strategy for defeating the left. It's suicide. And the piece goes on in this vein. I think I've already made the main arguments. Conservatives have made monumental gains in the courts, in the legislature and in the culture by standing firm and fighting back, not by Compromising. We didn't need to tear up the Constitution to beat back the left. We leveraged it. We defended free speech and won. We overturned radical gender policies. We're working on it. Anyway, we re established parental rights in the face of indoctrination in our schools, in media and entertainment. Truth telling alternatives are thriving because audiences are hungry for sanity. And he's attacking the idea that because we're losing and losing badly, we need to throw out all of our principles and norms. Just blood running in the streets. We've got various emailers who are of that opinion. You boomers, you Reaganites. Your time is gone. Look what's happened to your country. Well, Seth Dillon disagrees completely. His summary or is finished anyway. Every victory we've earned came through courage and conviction, not cruelty or coercion. We're winning because we're right and because our constitutional republic makes it possible to course correct when free people stand up and speak out. Conservative conservatism has never been about power or tribal victory. It's about conserving what's good and true, regardless of what's trending or how much it might cost us. The principles that make conservatism worth defending individual liberty, constitutional governance, objective truth, are not impediments to victory. They're its only foundation. Abandoning our principles in pursuit of power is not a winning strategy. It's a confession that we never really believed in them at all. Amen. Amen. Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon that's pretty good.
Jack Armstrong
I you can't see this because this is radio. I'm wearing a really cool fake mustache today that I wish was real and wish was mine. If I wish I could, I don't care that I don't have hair in my head, but I wish I could grow a mustache like this. Can you get implants for that? They take care from my lower back and plugs. Yeah, something like that.
Joe Getty
I don't know. I don't know. Why not? So, a word from our friends at Warrior Foundation Freedom Station reminding you that Next Thursday the 6th, it's the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station annual Giveathon. With the generosity of good folks like you patriots, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has helped to assist ill and injured warriors transitioned to civilian life with dignity, independence and hope for the past 21 years.
Jack Armstrong
And this Giveathon is a chance to fly those warriors home for the holidays. Because everyone deserves to be with loved ones, especially those who've sacrificed so much for our country. It's a tax deductible donation. It's more than a gift. It's a powerful way to say thank you to warriors who would never ask for help and send them home for the holidays.
Joe Getty
And it's such a great thing to picture our warriors waking up with their loved ones on Christmas morning. And for those who are too unwell to travel, their families are flown to Warrior Foundation Freedom Station so they can have the holidays together. So On Thursday the 6th, let's have a huge storm of giving for this incredible cause. To learn more and donate, call 619 Warrior. That's 619 Warrior or visit warriorfoundation.org get the name right please warriorfoundation.org so Jon.

Stewart has a podcast in addition to his daily show that he does. And on his podcast he had Kamala Harrison. He was gobsmacked when Kamala Harris claimed that Joe Biden was capable of running or serving another term as president. She actually said that to Jon Stewart which he did not receive. Well, among other things we can get to on the show today. I hope you can stick around now.

Annabe Sofas Advertiser
As Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Jack Armstrong
He's just gonna be Andrew Mountbatten from here on out. The royal formerly known as Prince completely stripped of his titles. I suppose he's gonna have to go out and get a job now. What's your work history? My work history is I. I show up to pageants And I. I smell the ribbons cut. I smile at people and wave. That's my work history. Wow. So what changed? So he kind of got half booted out of the royal family right after the Epstein story happened. And he was attached to it. Now he's completely out of the family or the royal family. Any part of the royalty part of it. What? What? I wonder what convinced them but pushed it over the edge. That girl's book, that woman's book. Who killed herself. Is that right? Katie?
Joe Getty
Katie. Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Is that all the reports said that it was her book?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, she makes it pretty clear that he was. Wonder why she named. Well, she says why she named Prince Andrew. She did not name Ehud Barak, which may or may not be the prime minister she's talking about. That's the speculation. Having choked her and scared her so much she thought she was gonna die. Some prime minister of some country. But that's what the speculation is, that it's Ehud Barak of Israel who's been asked about it and denies it. And I don't have any idea if it's true or not. No, but apparently it was solid enough on the Andrew stuff that the. The royal family said, get out of here, you creepo. Yeah.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, so this is an interesting story.
Joe Getty
I will adjust to the world with one fewer British prince.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Well, first of all, this John Fetterman, senator from Pennsylvania, Democrat, he was on, and he's been voting for the resolution to open the government back up. He's one of the handful of Democrats. He said today that he apologized on behalf of Senate Democrats who have not voted in the shutdown. Said it's an absolute failure and it's embarrassing. We need to get our S together and open the government, which is more or less without the S bomb. With the Washington Post editorial bomb board says today, open the dang government and then argue about this stuff afterwards.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. And the. The ironic. Ironic part of this is Chuck Schumer hasn't moved the needle against AOC one iota in his probable upcoming getting primaried.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, but if he hadn't stood up and fought, he might have just gotten absolutely trounced. If he'd have caved again, even though that would have been the right thing to do.
Joe Getty
Different story.
Jack Armstrong
A Florida father to be wakes up from a coma after quite a while to tell officials that his angry girlfriend caused the car. Caused the car crash that put him in a coma. She did it on purpose and now she is being arrested.
Joe Getty
What the. What yes.
Jack Armstrong
Daniel Waterman implicated this Mumby woman. That's her last name.
Joe Getty
I thought that was a descriptor. She's a little Mumby for my taste.
Jack Armstrong
They're driving down Interstate 95. She says she was angry at him for somebody he texted or something like that. And she screams at him, I don't care what happens, you'll get what you deserve. And grabs the steering wheel and pilots them into a tree. On purpose. Angry at him. Put him in a. Leaving him in a coma. He's in a coma for months. He wakes up from the coma, tells officials, hey, she drove us into the tree because she's so mad at me. And officials apparently believe they questioned him for quite a while and got all the information. And now she has been arrested.
Joe Getty
And the brain, so interesting that he has, you know, coherent and clear memories of right before his brain obviously got jostled pretty bad and then he goes.
Jack Armstrong
Back into the coma and dies. Oh, what, and he's dead? Yeah. So he wakes up with a coma just briefly to say, hey, by the way, something. I'm a pretty good driver. She grabbed the wheel, she drove us into a tree because she was mad at me. Thought I was texting some chick.
Joe Getty
Anyway, he croaks, good Lord, I didn't see that twist coming at the end.
Jack Armstrong
He says, Anyway, Owen 2 and passes away.
Joe Getty
What woman? That Mumby looking woman over there.
Jack Armstrong
Isn't that quite a story though?
Joe Getty
Yeah, wow. I'd say it's, it's, it's amazing and horrifying.
Jack Armstrong
It comes out of the coma, so I don't know how the human brain works in a coma. So would it seem like that that's the most recent memory you have? So that's like super on your mind?
Joe Getty
I guess.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know.
Joe Getty
I'm, I'd be guessing, yeah. Which you could tell by the fact that I said I, I, I guess. Yes. Yeah. I, I find myself wondering, did his brain say to itself, look, we're about to croak. Let's rally for a day or two. We gotta, we gotta turn this woman in. And then, then we're croaking. So anyway, wake up, Jimmy, people.
Jack Armstrong
Reg, we've all probably experienced this. People regularly rally right before the end. Yeah, and this guy did too.
