And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
- [04:05]
Asma Khalid
The sitting vice president enters the race against a former president of the United States has been running for 10 years with 107 days to go. And it ended up being the closest presidential election in the 21st century.
- [04:20]
Joe Getty
And if you'd have had 108 days to go, it would have been less close. And if you'd have had 210 days, it had really not been close.
- [04:28]
Jack Armstrong
Right? Yes. There are so many impactful, important, weighty news stories unfolding and we will talk about them. But I demand at least a few minutes to enjoy kicking Kamala Harris as she is making the interview rounds promoting her hilarious book that everybody left, right and center is. Is mocking and reviewing poorly. We'll do that later on. We promise. I promise.
- [04:54]
Joe Getty
Hey, Hanson, get the stuff of Trump mocking windmills. I just saw from the UN he just wrapped up his speech. He is beaten up on windmills, saying China has made gazillions of dollars selling the idea of wind technology all around the world. They don't use it in their own country because it doesn't work, but they sell it around the world.
- [05:11]
Jack Armstrong
I love that so much. And I saw and we're working on getting the audio for just a little later in the hour. Uh, Trump is talking about how Islam is taking over Britain, which is scratching me right where I itch. Can't wait to play that and talk about it. And if you're thinking, oh my God, you can't say that. Islam is a political system, friends. It also has a religious element. But if fascism or socialism or any other political movement was taking over one of our great allies, you'd want to know about it. So we'll talk about it. Stay with us. Also coming up in just a minute or two, why marriage is increasingly just for the affluent. It's a weird sociological change. But before we get to that, I wanted to just give a brief kicking to AOC and a lot of Democrats who balked at voting for a simple resolution to honor Charlie Kirk after his assassination. And I became aware of this through Matthew Hennessy is a terrific writer, but he mentions. On Friday, House Republicans introduced a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk. It passed with bipartisan support. Okay. 95 Democrats, including the minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and the leadership team, voted yes. Tip of the cap to them. It was the decent thing to do and well done.
- [06:29]
Joe Getty
What did the resolution say?
- [06:33]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, man. Where is it? You know, I don't even think the wording is that significant, because again, 95 Democrats voted yes. But unlike a June resolution honoring the murdered Minnesota State Representative, Melissa Hortman and her husband, that vote was 100% unanimous. 100%. But in this case, 58 Democrats voted no, 38 voted present, and 22 abstained.
- [07:03]
Joe Getty
Wow.
- [07:05]
Jack Armstrong
I know. And then, in typical grandstanding fashion, most of the no voters rushed to issue statements on Twitter and elsewhere. As Matthew writes, they felt it necessary to explain why they had not cast a vote in honor of a 31 year old husband and father who had been blown away before the nation's eyes by a politically motivated assassin. Not 10 days earlier, the Congressional Black Caucus, a fine group of people, called the resolution, quote, an attempt to legitimize Kirk's worldview, a worldview that includes ideas many Americans find racist, harmful, and fundamentally un American. Then they offered a list of his imagined transgressions against various black people. AOC said condemning the depravity of Kirk's brutal murder is a straightforward matter, before denouncing him as ignorant and asserting that he sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans. The GOP resolution, she said, brings great pain to the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow, and the legacy of that bigotry today.
- [08:06]
Joe Getty
Well, I'm sure it was.
- [08:07]
Jack Armstrong
And of course, it does no such thing.
- [08:09]
Joe Getty
I'm sure those Minnesota lawmakers held views.
- [08:11]
Jack Armstrong
That I thought were horrible.
- [08:12]
Joe Getty
I mean, they're Democrats in Minnesota, right? So I'm sure. I think that a lot of their views are just awful, but they. They shouldn't be shot. So, yeah, I'm a. I'm a yes, that's no good. Vote on any resolution.
- [08:26]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, somebody who tried to do it through words and politics just got murdered and that sucks. That's all we're asking you to vote on. But no, hit us with number 12, Michael. This, by the way, all of these quotes are. After Mr. Kirk was assassinated, his rhetoric.
- [08:46]
Asma Khalid
And beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans. The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was. That is a playbook out of Hitler. And I won't deny it, like these are the facts. But I do believe he was a reprehensible, hateful man. Like that is my view of the words that he has said about every.
- [09:20]
Jack Armstrong
Single identity that I belong to. The last voice there, of course, Islamist America hater, Ilhan Omar of Minneapolis. That's despicable. All right, moving along.
- [09:34]
Joe Getty
Breaking news. Breaking insignificant news. Oh, nexstar, the second biggest group of ABC stations will not air Jimmy Kimmel tonight. They came out and made a statement, so they joined Sinclair, the biggest group of ABC stations. So the top two groups will not air Jimmy Kimmel Tonight. What I haven't been able to get nailed down, and you're really a bad journalist if you don't do this immediately, is how many affiliates are there and how, what percentage of it is this?
- [10:04]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I saw, I saw some of those numbers. It's, it's a good chunk of total ABC affiliates. But yeah, that would be nice to know. Yeah, you think you would know that. Anyway, total change of topic. Why marriage is increasingly for the affluent. The whole view of marriage has shifted. For centuries, the institution of marriage was at least in part an economic contract. Two young people would get together, join their fortunes, and in many societies love each other. And that would give them a better shot at achieving financial success, stability as a couple, starve, family, etc. But more recently, the script has flipped. Young people see financial security is not a goal to be reached after marriage with your partner. That's a prerequisite for it. You've got to have a solid career and plenty of money in the bank before you would get married, which again is a complete reversal of the way it's practically always been, which is interesting. And they highlight various couples that had accomplished many of their fine financial goals before the wedding, including getting promoted at their jobs, purchasing a home together, adopting a dog, etc, and when they had achieved success then they finally said, okay, now we can get married.
- [11:32]
Joe Getty
That's interesting. I would. Well, I don't think I know that. That makes it way more complicated. I mean, because then now you got, you each got, you've got a home, you live somewhere, you've got roots, you got a career, you've got, I mean it's going to be hard to merge, harder to merge those things and starting from scratch.
- [11:50]
Jack Armstrong
And a couple of people actually mentioned that. Man, I've been living on my own for a long time. I got my habits, I got my preferences right. And you don't. It's harder to learn to live together happily. You can certainly, but you know, if you join together as young people. Normally I'm against clever names for things because everything's got to have a clever name these days. But they call it the capstone model of marriage. You build a career, you build your wealth, then the marriage is a capstone. And economists and demographers say that that thinking has replaced the old, centuries old cornerstone approach where people would wed in their early 20s, then work together to buy a home, build a nest egg, progress in their careers, etc. It's an interesting shift. Researchers say it's large part of what's driving up the age at which people are first getting married and driving down the number who get married at all.
- [12:47]
Joe Getty
Well, that doesn't surprise me. Like I, like I said, I think it's pretty obvious. It complicates it, it doesn't make it easier.
- [12:53]
Jack Armstrong
Right. And, and one of the other, and there's a lot to this, maybe we talk about it at length another time. But one of the other complications of it is it raises the bar for what people think their lives need to look at, look like before they wed. And it also raises the bar for who they can marry because you've got the problem of more college educated women and more higher earning women and fewer college educated men, although some of them are doing very well. But there still is a prejudice and we all have prejudices. I'm not criticizing it exactly. Well, I am, I will in a minute. Jack certainly will. If you're a college educated woman, there is a hesitance to marry a non college educated man and explain it to mom and dad or whatever and your friends. Crazy.
- [13:47]
Joe Getty
If you'd have to explain to your mom, dad, he didn't. There's something I need to tell you. He didn't go to college. Oh, give me a freaking break.
- [13:55]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, there's that criticism I promised you folks. I Joe much more sympathetic.
- [13:59]
Joe Getty
I'm a middle child.
- [14:00]
Jack Armstrong
I bring People together. But it's, it's different. It's saying no, he didn't go to college, he doesn't have a degree or whatever. He, you know, does this for a living or started this.
- [14:11]
Joe Getty
He went out and started working and didn't take on 100 grand in debt for no good reason.
- [14:16]
Jack Armstrong
Right. He was smart enough not to get six figures in debt for a stupid cubicle job was another way you could put it. But so let's see. While women's relative economic position have improved, many men are floundering. In the past, men didn't have to have such a high bar. Blah, blah, blah. People tend to marry along socioeconomic lines in a practice known as assortative mating. And although women make up roughly 60% of college grads these days, which is amazing, outpacing men with degrees. That educational mismatch hasn't stopped educated woman from marrying because they can find that smaller pool of college educated, higher earning men. That leaves less educated women with fewer options for somebody who's earning more money than them. And so less wealthy women are getting married less often because they can't find somebody who's their equal or higher earning power at whatever point they are in their lives. And so it appears that marriages. And actually listen to this.
- [15:27]
Joe Getty
Well, that's on a trajectory where that's going to happen more often. Marriage is going to go down rather than up.
- [15:34]
Jack Armstrong
Okay. So we're talking about American 37 year olds, which is an age they set aside as there's a good chance you're Married by age 37. If your parents were in the top income quartile, top quarter percent of wealth, there's a 59% chance you're married. If your parents were in the bottom quartile, it's not 59%, it's 30%. It's half as many of those people. Yeah. Are married. Twice as many wealthy parented couples get married as. Not that is interesting to me.
- [16:21]
Joe Getty
You combine that with what I think the deal breaker that is pets. I want to talk about that later. Had that conversation with my son over the weekend while we were camping.
- [16:29]
Jack Armstrong
Pets, I think in general or the even more controversial. Do they sleep on the bed?
- [16:35]
Joe Getty
Well, everything that goes with that. Yeah, yeah, man, that's that, that. Oh boy, that's a tough one.
- [16:41]
Jack Armstrong
That is a tough one.
- [16:42]
Joe Getty
Oh, we got a lot on the way. Stay here.
- [16:45]
Jack Armstrong

Donald Trump
Thank you very much, very much. Appreciate it. And I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.
- [20:41]
Joe Getty
Trump getting laughs at the UN Standing in front of the General assembly because the teleprompter quit working. And also the escalator didn't work. He had to walk up the flight of stairs because the escalator didn't work. That's not a good look for the unit. Your escalator doesn't work and your teleprompter don't work.
- [21:01]
Jack Armstrong
What does work? Why don't we narrow that down and we'll use those things?
- [21:06]
Joe Getty
Wow.
- [21:07]
Jack Armstrong
So Trump, finally, with the teleprompter working in the microphones as well, is laying haymaker after haymaker on the UN among others. We're going to start this segment with a piece of audio or two, and then I suggest we continue on into the next segment. But here, let's start with 104.
- [21:27]
Donald Trump
Michael, what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential, I've always said has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential. For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. It's empty words. And empty words don't solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action. Now, after ending all of these wars and also earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords, which is a very big thing for which our country received no credit, never receives credit. Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements. But for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and UN glorious wars. What I care about is not winning prizes, it's saving lives. We saved millions and millions of lives with the seven wars and we have others that we're working on and you.
- [22:45]
Joe Getty
Know that endless US Presidents, Republicans too, that have to go up there and act like, well, the UN seems like a good idea, so I need to treat it as some higher level of human achievement as opposed to Trump saying, well, you don't do anything.
- [23:02]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, which is true. It's all image and no, no action as he was pointing out. I really wanted to get to his discussion of the situation in Gaza and Hamas and the rest of it. We'll have to do it on the other side of the break. He takes a shot at Putin and Russia. He takes a shot at renewable energy and how fake it is. He mentions Europe is in trouble and Sharia law taking over London.
- [23:31]
Joe Getty
Holy cow, he said today many of Iran's former military commanders are no longer with us. They're dead.
- [23:41]
Jack Armstrong
And true.
- [23:43]
Joe Getty
Which is a good thing to say at the un.
- [23:45]
Jack Armstrong
Now that's action.
- [23:47]
Joe Getty
Anyway, we'll get to that and some other stuff coming up. Any more details come out on that plot to stop all cell phone service in New York during the un? What was that? Some sort of a terrorist attack or something that they foiled? Also, Jimmy Kimmel's back on tonight. Who flipping cares? Yeah, but there's some details around that, so we'll have it all in the way.

Donald Trump
Everyone thought Russia would win this war in three days. But it didn't work out that way. It was supposed to be just a quick little skirmish. It's not making Russia look good, it's making them look bad. No matter what happens from here on out, this was something that should have taken a matter of days, certainly less than a week. And they've been fighting for three and a half years and killing anywhere from five to seven thousand young soldiers. Mostly, mostly soldiers on both sides every single week.
- [28:09]
Joe Getty
Trump speaking at the UN today in front of the General Assembly. It is UN Week in New York City and he is covering a lot.
- [28:17]
Jack Armstrong
Of ground and offending a lot of people. If he hasn't offended your favorite target yet, give it a minute.
- [28:23]
Joe Getty
He will feel free to offend the un. What a freaking. Oh, my God, I hate everything about it.
- [28:28]
Jack Armstrong
And our next clips, 105 Michael, in which he turns his gaze to the situation in Gaza.
- [28:34]
Donald Trump
As everyone knows, I have also been deeply engaged in seeking a cease fire in Gaza. Have to get that done. Have to get it done. Unfortunately, Hamas has repeatedly rejected reasonable offers to make peace. We can't forget October 7th, can we? Now, as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including October 7th. Even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept the ceasefire. Instead of giving to Hamas and giving so much because they've taken so much. They have taken so much. This could have been solved so long ago. But instead of giving in to Hamas's ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message. Release the hostages now. Just release the hostages now.
- [29:49]
Jack Armstrong
Tepid applause for release the warm smattering. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. Bunch of phonies. Boy, I like this one. 108.
- [30:02]
Donald Trump
Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it's actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It's uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders. In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that. The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens. Can you believe that? On the way to infiltrate our southern border, millions of people came through that southern border. Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in. 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration.
- [31:14]
Jack Armstrong
All right, why not? As long as you're taking shots? And then he goes on to describe Europe a bit more specifically. 110.
- [31:23]
Donald Trump
Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens. Like nobody's Ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe. Nobody is ever. And nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out. It's not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct, they're doing just absolutely nothing about it. And I have to say, I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor. Terrible, terrible mayor. And it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you're in a different country, you can't do that. Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe if something is not done immediately. They cannot, this cannot be sustained.
- [32:19]
Joe Getty
Uh huh.
- [32:21]
Jack Armstrong
Okay. We pivoted to energy there, apparently. Okay, which is fine. Give me 112 and 113 back to back. Michael.
- [32:29]
Donald Trump
We're getting rid of the falsely named renewables, by the way. They're a joke. They don't work. They're too expensive. They're not strong enough to fire up the plants that you need to make your country great. The wind doesn't blow. Those big windmills are so pathetic and so bad, so expensive to operate. And they have to be rebuilt all the time and they start to rust and rot. Most expensive energy ever conceived. And it's actually energy. You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. You lose money. The governments have to subsidize. You can't put them out without massive subsidies. And most of them are built in China. And I give China a lot of credit. They build them, but they very few wind farms. So why is it that they build them and they send them all over the world, but they barely use them? You know what they use coal, they use gas, they use almost anything. But they don't like wind. But they sure as hell like selling the windmills.
- [33:33]
Joe Getty
China makes all the solar panels in the windmill, sells them around the world and they keep using coal and oil.
- [33:39]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, well, he's not done with his bashing of the green energy scam either.
- [33:44]
Joe Getty
One more.
- [33:45]
Jack Armstrong
114 higher or lower.
- [33:47]
Donald Trump
Whatever the hell happens, this climate change, it's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. Climate change, no matter what happens, you're involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their country's fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. And I'm really good at predicting things. You know, they actually said during the campaign they had a hat, the best selling hat. Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true. I've been right about everything. And I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. And if you don't stop people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.
- [34:54]
Jack Armstrong
All right, that's. How dare you.
- [34:56]
Joe Getty
I agree with him on that. And how much does the UN hate hearing the leader of the free world stand up there and say the whole climate change thing is a scam, but then him saying, I mean it sounds like bragging, but it's not. I'm just right about everything.
- [35:12]
Jack Armstrong
And he points out that Europe has reduced its carbon footprint, enormous economic cost. And he's right. Europe is rapidly becoming A irrelevant and B debt ridden, having crippled their economies with this climate change fantasy. And yeah, the climate's changing, but the idea that, listen, fellow Brits, if we ruin our economy, we can turn the ship. No, you can't. You haven't done anything except ruin your economy.
- [35:40]
Joe Getty
Try that on your husband.
- [35:42]
Jack Armstrong
Somebody called him out on it.
- [35:43]
Joe Getty
Try that on your husband or wife when you get home tonight. I'm not trying to brag, but I'm right about everything.
- [35:50]
Jack Armstrong
This may sound braggadocious, honey, but I'm right about this and everything else. In fact, the best selling hat during the campaign, I'm telling you, that's fantastic. Oh my God, he has no filter. Oh, I like the sound of this. Give me 117. Michael.
- [36:11]
Donald Trump
We have a border strong and we have a shape. And that shape doesn't just go straight up. That shape is amorphous when it comes to the atmosphere. And if we had the most clean air, and I think we do, we have very clean air. We have the cleanest air we've had in many, many years. But the problem is that other countries like China, which has air that's a little bit rough, it blows. And no matter what you're doing down here, the air up here tends to get very dirty because it comes in from other countries where their air isn't so clean. And the environmentalists refuse to acknowledge that. Same thing with garbage in Asia, they dump much of their garbage right into the ocean. And over about a one week and two week journey, it flows right past Los Angeles. You've seen it. Massive amounts of Garbage. Almost too much to do anything about. Flowing past Los Angeles, past San Francisco. And then somebody would get in trouble because he dropped a cigarette on the beach. The whole thing is crazy.
- [37:23]
Jack Armstrong
Hanson. How quickly can we get. It blows.
- [37:27]
Joe Getty
Isolated. And the whole thing is crazy. We can use that for years to come. The whole thing is crazy. That's great.
- [37:38]
Jack Armstrong
It blows.
- [37:43]
Joe Getty
I just. His personality and his disorganized thoughts, I think don't do him any favors because his points are really, really good. You can care as much as you want about pollution and garbage and stuff like that, but the biggest economy in the world, second biggest, nearly as big as ours, doesn't care at all. And you guys don't say anything about it, Right?
- [38:07]
Jack Armstrong
You ruin your own economies and accomplish nothing. What are you doing? How do you think that's going to help? Yeah. And yeah. The scattered thoughts and the self aggrandizement, they weaken his message. It's unfortunate, but he is who he is. Stuff is going great. What a classic wind clip from Trump and his rally.
- [38:29]
Jacob Goldstein
15 seconds long.
- [38:31]
Donald Trump
You'd be doing wind windmills. And if it doesn't. If it doesn't blow, you can forget about television for that night, darling. I want to watch television. I'm sorry, the wind isn't blowing. I know a lot about wind, darling.
- [38:51]
Joe Getty
I want to watch Jimmy Kimmel's return tonight. I'm sorry, it's not windy enough.
- [38:55]
Jack Armstrong
And you're the only one I know. Is 120 ready, Michael? Okay. Quick word from our friends at Webroot first and then back with clip 120, which will shock you. Oh, boy.
- [39:11]
Joe Getty
Clip 120. That's what I've been waiting for.

All right now the vaunted, the famous, the soon to be legendary clip 120.
- [40:19]
Donald Trump
When your prisons are filled with so called asylum seekers who repayed kindness and that's what they did, they repaid kindness with crime. It's time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. See, I can tell you I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. In America we've taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming. They're not coming anymore. We're getting a lot of credit, but they're not coming anymore.
- [40:56]
Jack Armstrong
You know, in Britain, as soon as the non elite class hears those words, there are going to be parades in the streets because there are. There is. It's a situation that ought to, you know, ring familiar and true to you. A situation in Britain where the media elite and the educated rich continue to hold these luxury beliefs. Where the people who are affected by it and whose daughters get raped and whose towns are full of law breaking immigrants and the rest of it, they're being damaged by it. So they're gonna love that speech.
- [41:33]
Joe Getty
So if you haven't heard ABC's putting Kimmel back on the air. The suspension was only ended up being a couple of shows. The self satisfied smug. A hole is gonna return and it's gonna be hard to take. Oh my God. I don't want to hear any clips from it tonight. I don't want to hear any clips over the next 24 hours. But I know I will. It's gonna be so hard to take anyway. I got a lot of stuff on the way. Stay here.

Jack Armstrong
Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Disney, ABC announcing Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air after they pause the show indefinitely after comments he made about the ideology of the suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing. Disney saying in a statement last Wednesday we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy. And after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.
- [45:56]
Joe Getty
Now, the reporting in the New York Post was. Jimmy Kimmel will not apologize for what he said. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it or whatever, because that was a crazy freaking stupid thing to say. It's just.
- [46:07]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah. And ignorant.
- [46:08]
Joe Getty
It's just. Yeah, it's just. It's. It's. Well, it's wrong. So I don't know if it was ignorant as in, you know, he was misinformed or he believed some things he was reading on Blue sky, but it's just dumb.
- [46:20]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. What are the two groups that have said they're not going to air his show? Sinclair. And what was the other one?
- [46:28]
Joe Getty
I got it in front of me somewhere.
- [46:30]
Jack Armstrong
Is it nexstar?
- [46:31]
Joe Getty
Yeah, nextar.
- [46:32]
Jack Armstrong
Okay, thanks. That's all I need to know. As you were.
- [46:35]
Joe Getty
And so that's quite a few stations that won't air Jimmy Kimmel. But I'm surprised he's coming back on. Joe thought he would come back on. I thought just because there were several elements to this, including the whole business model of it where it's a really expensive show that does not get very good ratings anymore. There is lots of talk that they were not going to renew it this next year anyway. So I thought they're an easy out.
- [47:00]
Jack Armstrong
Every night it airs, it firmly declares half of America you're stupid and we hate you.
- [47:06]
Joe Getty
Yeah, exactly.
- [47:07]
Jack Armstrong
Which is a hell of a thing, by the way, between Sinclair and Nexstar, they own 66 out of the 246 ABC affiliate stations. So it's a quarter.
- [47:21]
Joe Getty
Yeah.
- [47:22]
Jack Armstrong
Which is significant.
- [47:23]
Joe Getty
And while you were gone last week, Mark Halpern is pointing out that abc, which is trying to get a whole bunch of deals done and this and that and they don't want to anger the whole world, including the fcc, but they air the View and Jimmy Kimmel two hours every day that basically call half of America evil, stupid bigots.
- [47:48]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, okay.
- [47:51]
Joe Getty
I'm surprised you can get away with that. By the way, I just watched that video Katie you sent. I heard the story that Trump's motorcade caused Macron to have to walk. Okay, maybe it did, maybe it didn't. But the video. Macron is standing there and he's arguing with the police. You can listen to him. Macron's talking in English. It's like, I need to get across. Can you, can you, can you, can you let me across? And Macron is leaning on the, like the wooden barrier.
- [48:15]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, the barrier wanting to cross the street.
- [48:17]
Joe Getty
And then he calls Trump on his.
- [48:19]
Jack Armstrong
On.
- [48:19]
Joe Getty
Hey, you. Donald? Yeah. Well, you're not going to believe this. And he explains to Donald how he. And apparently Trump just says you should walk.
- [48:26]
Donald Trump
Yeah, just hum it, dude.
- [48:27]
Joe Getty
And then he walks.
- [48:29]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah, that's so funny. Tough croissants. McCrone, get walking. Wow.
- [48:37]
Joe Getty
Maybe your dude wife can carry you. I don't know.
- [48:41]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, wait a minute. You're going to get sued like Candace Owens, you maniac. That is a woman. Those are some broad shoulders she works out. It's not a dude. All right, that's enough of that.
