Armstrong and Getty.And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms.
Donald Trump's got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden.There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden.And don't think that he doesn't know for one second exactly what they're doing there.
I know this sounds bizarre.It sounds like I said this five years ago, you'd lock me up.We gotta lock him up.
It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division.
Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do.Brian, I'm supposed to say this out loud from a different kind of show.
but uh... they did the exact same thing is that on morning joe on msnbc today with trump this is one of the things is driven crazy about politics my whole adult life following politics is if you follow any candidate for him how much they do the whole my opponent is evil then they'll say like twenty seconds later we need all come together and stop pointing fingers my opponents hitler we need to start calling people names and love you don't have to do it
And it's just a common thing in politics.It's driven me crazy my whole life.I mean, that's hilarious.That's hilarious.Her saying, we need to stop, you know, whatever she said and join arms.What?You called Trump a fascist.
Speaking of unintentional comedy, this is great.Sent along by alert listener, Frank.Um, this is from a college, an actual college. It's a poster.Election anxiety is real.And there's a guy in the fetal position.
He's sitting in the fetal position with a cloud over his head with eyes tearing.And there's a woman with her hand on her forehead with her head bowed.She just can't take it.Election anxiety is real.
Votes are in and emotions are running high across the country.While some may feel joyful and triumphant, others might be grappling with disappointment, fear, and confusion.It's not that confusing.
You see, we got two candidates, one of them gets elected, one doesn't.Have I cleared up your confusion there, Junior?
uh... gal this is the colleges students have a place to go to go twenty twenty four election brave spaces open so it's not a safe space it's a brave space you're going there to be brave it's brave to go to a space that's safe so we're calling these brave spaces you've got to be kidding me that's the most twisted
logic i've ever heard so you're so upset by just life that you need to go into a special room with puppies and coloring books and they're calling that a brave space because you're so brave right
to be reduced to tears by an election.Hey, kids, word to the wise.We have these bitches every four years.You're going to have to get used to it.And you know what?If you count the offer, we got them every two years.
That's scary.Can I start calling the Cheesecake Factory the health spa with some sort of twisted logic also?
Let me continue on with the poster.Coping with post-election anxiety. Go to a brave space.Reach out to others.Keep a journal.Keep a journal.Practice self-care and avoid overextending yourself.You don't have to struggle alone.
There will be free comfort snacks.
I hate the term self-care so much.Almost everybody I know who talks about self-care spends the majority of their life caring for themselves.
2024 election brave spaces open.
Journal self-care.So I thought about grabbing the audio with this.I didn't know if we legally could or not.Mark Halperin was on a different radio show where he said this and I thought it was damned interesting.
And I'm sure he got a hell of a lot of pushback on this, but he thinks there's going to be more of a mental, possibly violent breakdown on the left if Trump wins than on the right if Harris wins. And the question was, why do you think that?
And he said, for, to me, the obvious reasons, people on the left care way more about government than people on the right.People on the right want half the government to go away.We love it when the government shuts down.
The less government, the better.Whereas on the left, you feel like government is the answer to all problems.And so the wrong person running everything that you think is so important makes you nuts.
Plus then there's the, you know, the overall personality type.
Yeah, I would agree, because not only do Democrats, liberals, progressives want a big government, but they think government is the solution to everything that ails them.
All the problems they see in society, and they see a lot of problems that in my mind don't exist.
realizing i mean i just you've got to remember that a certain percentage of each side believes the most extreme rhetoric of their side and trump's extreme rhetoric is is kamala's a jackass and she won't be a good president you know you can talk about communists and that sort of thing because i think there are a lot of neo-marxists running around but the idea that trump
will never permit another election.He will rule like Hitler.He will break up gay marriages.He will end interracial marriages.Women will be hunted down for having an abortion.Your period will be monitored.
I mean, all of that Looney Tunes, Project 2025 crap that they're talking about.A certain percentage of people believe that stuff.So yeah, they'll freak out.
uh... but i really have to go to a brave space i realize some of you if you haven't already tuned out or screaming at the radio uh... hello january sixth yeah i mean yeah those people reacting strongly to an election not going the direction they wanted a hundred percent yeah a stupid uh... angry riot where a bunch of people got arrested for it but there's no doubt that if you're a person of the left you care you want government to be more about
your life, more of your life to be about the government than people on the right, there's no doubt.My concern is that when the left wins that the government grows and becomes more my life.I want less!I want less of it all!
Amen to that.Yeah, the idea of Elon Musk and that other bloke who I mentioned the other day committing themselves to trying to reduce the size of government, if that's all Trump could accomplish, oh, how wonderful would that be?
Talk about fantasy land.I realize it's unlikely, but man, I'd love to see him try.
If you haven't seen the picture of how easy it is to turn a candy corn into Trump,
you need to look that up it's damn funny i almost want to do that on a whole bunch of candy corns and hand them out tonight to kids because you got the white orange yellow you put a little tie in the white that looks like his shirt the orange is his face and then his yellow is his hair i mean it just takes like it doesn't take much it's really hilarious anyway uh... more serious topic uh... i was trying to figure out how i'm going to watch on tuesday
Chris Steierwald, who's on NewsNation, he's their pollster there.Remember, he got fired by Fox for calling Arizona correctly.
you know what we got an email about that it changed my mind they explained how he was way premature and got really really lucky i wish i had it in front of me because it was very convincing but anyways just a different take anyway so star waltz doing what he's uh... he's a guy news nation going through all their polling he tweeted out today if you look back on bush versus gore with pleasure the polls are suggesting you're in for a good time
It's hard to say, because like Nate Silver, the famous pollster, says there's a 60% chance that one of them win six of the swing states.Well, if one of them does that, if either of them do that, it's a pretty clear-cut win.
And I don't have it in front of me, but I've seen some statistics of the early voting on a bunch of different states, and it is ginormous.I mean, turnout looks like it might be, I mean, truly amazing.
Yeah, well, so the argument back and forth is, and to me... I'm sorry, I didn't finish the thought.And if turnout is huge and amazing, that makes it less likely that it's just so close.
When people keep using the example of, yeah, but 2012, all the polls were showing a red wave and it didn't happen at all.Trump wasn't on the ballot.That is all the difference in the world.
in terms of a motivated trump is such a huge money twenty-two do you mean twenty twenty-two young son the midterm that was supposed to be the red wave that turned out not to be the red wave in defied the polls there was no trump there that's that now there are some crappy trump candidates but it was that there's no trump it was all about abortion
trump does not have uh... coattails just like obama didn't have coattails obama was a phenomenon when he was on the ballot people turned out when he wasn't they did same with trump i i just think that's so obviously true uh... all but i'm so i'm gonna watch chris stierwalder follow his twitter steve kornacki of uh... nbc even though their network is so horrible he's really good at digging into the numbers and i i saw heard him on a conservative podcast yesterday talking about
counties that he can look at the pennsylvania that he thinks he can tell pretty quickly what direction pennsylvania's gonna go based on previous cycles which i find pretty interesting interesting indiana if if that sort of things been consistent couple more things i want to jam in we've been talking a lot about the washington post thing where bezos decided we're not going to endorse candidates anymore people went nuts they've lost a quarter of their subscribers or something like that
this story out today the Washington Post is paying to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee.
So it's not a scandal that news organizations put money, because we've done this, you can go on Facebook or Twitter and pay a couple of bucks like if you got a tweet that you really think would be good and you want to get it out there more you pay a little money.
But the Washington Post is doing that on Facebook and Twitter and places with really anti-Trump stories to try to, you know, reconvince people, no, no, no, we hate Trump still.
I'll bet that whoever's doing that is doing that without Bezos' knowledge or without his direction, trying to salvage his point of view, his or her point of view.Probably a her.Yeah, that's possible.Yeah.
And then this one thing that I came across that kind of explains the way a lot of people are voting.The share of foreign-born population in the United States
is the highest it's ever been including back in the day when you know ellis island and all that sort of stuff in the irish in the italians and the people coming from everywhere we're going back to eighteen fifty even in eighteen
90, the previous high point, it was 14.8% of the population of the United States was foreign-born.
And you could make a decent argument for having a hell of a lot of people come into this country from wherever when we were completely empty and we were expanding into states with no people.It's now 15.6%.And is that a policy that you voted for?
Not in the least.But we have the highest percentage of foreign-born we've ever had in this country. And nobody voted for that.
Now, I'm not saying this is necessarily going to be true going forward, but if you want to find a fierce patriot, someone who loves this country to their bones, show me an immigrant who came from a place with an oppressive government.
Man, do they love America.
whether it's a you know cuba or sometimes the middle east uh... particularly non well anyway uh... jews and christians from the middle east uh... they love this country to their bones and i'm hoping that trend continues although that is certainly not an argument for letting in a hundred thousand venezuelan gang members as you said nobody voted for this yeah just let it happen
How about we decide how many people we want from where, and then keep track of who's coming in.Not a crazy notion.By the way, like 80% of America wants that.More on the way, stay here.
Former President Trump's campaign reportedly offered coffee mugs and beer koozies that read Latter Day Saints for Trump, but later removed the products after it was pointed out that Mormons do not drink coffee or beer.
They're also no longer offering their Jews for Trump spiral hams.
So we've been playing some Halloween music and sound effects as it is Satan's day and your children are going out to get diabetes and tooth decay. Wow, this is festive.
But you played Michael Jackson's Thriller earlier, and I was thinking, I remember when that video came out for Thriller, it was like the most expensive video that had ever been made or something like that, and he had the creepy disfigured face, which ended up being not near as creepy or as disfigured as his actual face was.
Right.Isn't that something?Wow. i know my son is gonna do some trick-or-treating in his cow head just because he wants to see how people react to it.It is a great costume.
Yeah, I appreciated the picture you tweeted.It's a really good cow, man.
It's a very good one.But you know how little kids will say a thousand million billion thousand million when they're trying to say a big number?Here's an actual big number that I didn't even know existed.Decillion.
Google is facing a fine of a decillion dollars by a Russian court because they banned Russian TV channels.So a Russian court found them guilty and fined them 20 decillion dollars.That is 20 with a hundred zeros after it.Wow.
That's more than all the money that exists in the world.
okay total amount of that's a heavy fine that sends a message that should be a deterrent all more than all the money that exists on the planet with all the money we've got obviously we've got the most china russia everybody else all of your everybody added together twenty two sillion is more than that so if you want to throw around a big word that's a big number that's actually real i guess
Why would you, what's the point of that?From the Russian court, were there, were there people there arguing for less or more and they settled on 20 decillion as opposed to 10 decillion?
Was the defense asking for, right, exactly, how about 18 decillion?It's got a bit of a Three Stooges feel to it, doesn't it?
It's just absurd.Yes, yes it is.
The clowning, the very legal process they claim to be defending there in Russia.I won't have it.Coming up, the New York Times is out to a rather nefarious scheme to try to discredit all conservative media.I'll explain.
It's less complicated than it seems.Let's see what else.Oh, did you hear about the 49ers fans?They wouldn't let into the game because they were wearing a MAGA hat.
no political stuff will rule that doesn't apply to i'm guessing pride and a whole bunch of other political things i'm afraid you'll have to stay tuned young man armstrong and getty bring the funk, that's what i say i just read uh... nate silver's twitter account he's one of the best pollsters out there he actually started the five thirty eight polling organization then left it and is on his own but he just tweeted out
there's a whole bunch of people making s up as they go along which i think is probably true although his model says that this might be the one i watch the closest he says that if harris wins pennsylvania she's got a ninety percent chance of winning that's pretty high so that's the one to keep an eye on and it's east coast so it'll close you know
early but they don't start counting their ballots till that morning because of their state law.So who knows when they'll... Like absentee and mail-in or early votes?
Do they have... Like everybody has early voting at this point, right?
Yeah, the mail-in stuff.I don't actually know that, but... They don't count, so... Right.
I wonder... I'm really looking forward to election night.Number one, because that'll be the end of this crap.At least this crap.There might be different crap, like legal challenges for weeks.
Civil war and rights in the street, yeah. Yeah, but that'll be different crap at least.That's something different to talk about.It looks like the Democrats have taken Austin, Texas.Forces have been repelled.Oh, jeez.Taken like taken?Civil War.
That's what I'm talking about. Note to self, stock up on ammo.Oh, so I came across this from a different conservative commentator.I don't recall whom exactly, but then Ben Shapiro was tweeting about it as well, and I've realized it is widespread.
Ben writes, if you were wondering what the legacy media would plan for its October surprise, wonder no longer, it's here.Today I received the following text from a reporter at the New York Times, and it is verbatim what the other fella got.
uh... and it is uh... good morning uh... today mister spiro i'm nico grant reporter at the new york times want to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on youtube we rely on analysis conducted by researchers at media matters for america old media matters which is a wildly left organization that exists to bring down conservative media by the way
Could you please provide us a comment or decline, Bubba?Here are the points we plan to include.
Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or are not supported with credible evidence.
Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation.We feature a clip of you saying, quote, your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance, blah, blah, blah.I also have a few questions.
Are you a member of the YouTube Partner Program?If so, how frequently does YouTube demonetize your videos?Has YouTube sent you messages, emails, or notices in the last year that your content contains misinformation?Thank you for your time.
Ben writes, what precisely is the New York Times doing?
It's perfectly obvious, using research from Media Matters, a radical left-wing organization whose sole purpose is destroying conservative media, see below, and he illustrates all of Media Matters' efforts to demonetize and de-platform even the most legitimate conservative sites, in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize and penalize any and all conservatives one week from the election.
or to scare them into silence, or to have you.That's the entire game here.
Run an article in America's most trusted newspaper that declares pretty much every major conservative a purveyor of misinformation on YouTube, thus strong-arming YouTube into taking action against conservatives.
This isn't about election misinformation, obviously.As pretty much everyone knows, I have always acknowledged that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
And if it is election misinformation to point out the rigging of the voting rules for election 2020, resulting in massive mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, then the New York Times might want to talk to the New York Times and CBS News, for starters, etc.
I think this stuff has crested.
I think the deplatforming, the shaming, the canceling, I think the right has finally understood that, oh, just because they called you a racist or somebody a racist doesn't make you a racist, or just because they fact-checked it doesn't mean they have their facts together, or if they call it misinformation, disinformation, or its cruel cousin, malinformation.
It doesn't make it true and that doesn't mean you should apologize for jack squat.
Can we go with a show policy, let's pick one of those words and only use it.Which one do you want to go on?I think miss.
You know, it's funny, once I picked up on the utter phoniness of how they just use all sorts of different words to make it sound like they're scientists and this is the various sorts of misinformation.
Yeah, and there are a variety of ways that you're being duped.
It's the classic dumb people trying to use big words to sound like dumb. Now that I've become aware of it, I see it every single day and it's just hilarious.Misinformation and disinformation.Oh, no.Both?
Well, that's twice as bad if it were just one of them.And to sum up what Ben Shapiro says, by the way, even if someone does think Joe Biden did not win the election, there's still protected speech under the First Amendment.But that's the point.
You don't have to purvey misinformation to be the target.You just have to support Trump. So... Man, he goes into how big YouTube is.26% of U.S.adults get news from YouTube.
That's why they're trying to shut it down or pervert it or, you know, fix it like the rest of the media.26% of U.S.adults get news from YouTube.
Hey, Hanson, did you get that Gronkowski clip that I asked for?Do we have that or not?Because if we don't, I'll just read it.
no uh... i sent it over last night so you know old uh... gronkowski the patriot and then tampa bay buccaneer anyway well-known party boy nfl retired hall of famer you remember him sure gronk how could we forget said they were talking to him the other night after game
four of the world series in which those fans had tried to grab the ball out of mookie betts' glove and that became a scandal and they got kicked out of uh... the the game and then they didn't get tickets for last night's game and all that everything like that so they're playing a rob gronkowski former nfl player is a
color guy in one of the sports networks and they play the thing and he says wait a second i know that guy which is hilarious austin was a college friend very passionate about the teams he represents will do anything for them a menace wild boy as well he is a person that undoubtedly would say he would do that and then actually do it maniac status since college has been confirmed and yeah i read that sounded like a little bit up
praise for how crazy the guy was.
We were talking yesterday that if you're the sort of person that grabs a player's arm to try to take the ball out of his mouth while beating on his arm and think you're going to get away with it or something, you're a lunatic.
That's a very gronk thing to say.
Wild Boy status.He's totally into it.It's just a solid Wild Boy status.This guy'd do anything for his team.He was crazy then.He's crazy now.
I feel like if you talk that way after 25, you've taken it too far.Let alone like when you're 45 or 50.That's ridiculous.Yeah.
Yeah, Gronk is the original Man Boy. Wow.I've known some fellas who know some fellas who are professional football players and the need to grow up is not there for a lot of them.
I remember, it's dryly funny, and if you know Gronk's act, it's funnier.But sports talk guy Jim Rome said years ago that there was some Gronk documentary that came out or something.And Rome said, I'll be damned.
It turns out he works out a lot and likes to play video games.Very revealing.Gronk is precisely what Gronk seems to be.
So I remember this story.
friend of mine his dad went to the university of kansas when john riggins was there you don't need to remember the guy but he is a well-known hard-headed running back for the washington redskins winning super bowls way back in the day when he was at the university of kansas they would they would close the door and then stack up chairs and desks and stuff against the door and then he would run at it to see if he could knock it open a very gronky thing to do
So if you're wondering the type of guy that some of these people are.
Get drunk and see if he could bash the door open if they stacked a bunch of chairs and desks against it.And I suppose if he bashed it open, everybody would go, yeah, and drink more beer.
Or if he failed to, they'd probably call him a meow or whatever, you know?
You know, the world takes, it takes all kinds.
uh... one more thing i want to get on and i want to get on the city you understand what he said there michael as biden s you get a bit and i want to answer uh... we will finish strong next week promise
So one of the worst defensive innings I've ever seen in the World Series including the very pitcher who must have been homicidal after the first several errors failing to cover first and that would have been the last out of the inning and stopped the onslaught
Which turned out to be enough to eventually win the game.
Five unearned runs when they were behind.The Yankees were up 5-0 and gave up five unearned runs to tie the game.Ended up losing Dodgers to the World Series champions.And then what do you do?You go out and you burn a bus.And loot a Nike store.
Because that's what you do when your team wins.
Fantastic.You gotta love sports.Michael's Scary Sound, we have a trio of scary stories to end the show with. Tell you what, you're actually frightened if you were hanging out with Diddy back in the day.
According to a prominent Hollywood source, Sean Diddy Combs reportedly kept meticulous records of his infamous parties and, quote, has enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood, who is praying he keeps his mouth shut.
Yeah. I remember thinking a bunch of stuff would come out on Epstein and it never has, so we'll see.But, yeah, some of the stuff lately about young boys, like children, that he was doing, and I saw
on old video of justin bieber who allegedly was under at some of these parties and was indeed he's worldbursts there's an episode of him on conan i think what did he uh... justin bieber talking i think the selena gomez and explaining to her how you don't want to be
you know, child star, something like that, and he starts crying.And I think, God, what has he gone through being in Diddy's world that he hasn't talked about that turned him into a, you know, a super Christian and all that?
Oof.Right.Yeah. So, uh, the disgraced music mogul's ex-girlfriends, including J-Lo and actress Cameron Diaz, are in a major panic.He will drag them down by revealing unsavory secrets if he goes away to prison.Uh, he's radioactive at this point.
Even if he's not found guilty, his name is Mudd.Would be social suicide to have anything to do with him.And the source adds that Combs, who's been in jail since September...
awaiting trial for sex trafficking, among a litany of other alleged crimes, expects his former friends to come to his defense, but nobody is, as they don't want to risk their reputations.
Quote, he's still in total denial and actually expects all his high-profile friends to stand up for him.
He can't wrap his head around the fact that everyone's just dropped him and wants no part of his sordid scandal, which might put a guy in the mood for vengeance.
Could, and maybe it will, but Epstein had a freaking painting of Bill Clinton you saw when you walked in the front door, and based on the Democratic convention, it didn't harm Bill Clinton any.
Yeah, apparently not, so we'll have to see.Also scary and kind of interesting, if you think you can hold a grudge, consider the humble crow. The crow can recognize human, yes, yes, the bird, the black bird.I think most of us are familiar with them.
They can recognize human faces and hold a grudge for scientists aren't 100% sure how long, but it appears to be a solid decade or more. And if you, for instance, this one gal, she... I could be a crow.
I'm sorry, this dude, one day in his backyard he saw crows encroaching on a robin's nest and he launched a rake into the air to discourage them from raiding the robin's nest.And for years and years,
Crows would launch at his head and try to try to get him and peck him.And they even learned to identify the bus he took on his way home from work.So they're waiting for him at the bus stop every single day.Wow.As if that's not crazy enough.
Don't cross a crow.They'll hold a grudge.Wow.Oh, yeah.As if that's not crazy enough, the crows can communicate that to other crows.
They'll essentially s-talk you, bad mouth you, and say, hey, that guy, the bald guy, you know what he did to me one day?He's a piece of ass.And peck his eyes out if you get a chance.Do it for me.Peck his eyes out.
And they can communicate to other crows.So even if crow number one croaks, his crow descendants will continue trying to peck you on your head.How crazy is that?
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.
Here's your host for Final Thoughts.
The great man, Donald J. Trump.
Yes.Joe Getty.Let's get a Final Thought from everybody on the crew.To wrap up the day, there is our Technical Director, Michelangelo.Michael, Final Thought?
Yeah, I'm going to give the kids tonight both health and education.I'm giving them sugarless gum and a pamphlet on the pros and cons of the flat tax.
Beautiful.Katie Greener esteemed newswoman has a final thought.Katie?I made a huge mistake by letting the husband get the Halloween candy.He came home with the crap, guys.Not good stuff.What did he get that you don't like?
Like the bubble yum or whatever.The old, the gum that loses its flavor in three seconds.I'm gonna have to go back out.You're unhappy with his choices.Run back out, Katie.I'm going back out. Jack, a final thought for us?
Bittersweet Halloween for me.This is the first year that both kids are too old to really be trick-or-treaters.God, I loved those years.So awesome.Good for you if you got little kids dressing up.That's so fun.
Yeah, my final thought is also crow-related.This fella who has spent his career studying human-crow interactions. First of all, not like volcanoes or cancer, anything.Human-crow interactions?
He describes crows as flying monkeys because of their aptitude as well as their large brains relative to their size as a creature.
That's horrifying.Pound for pound, crows among the brainiest creatures on earth, Jack.Crazy.Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling or ghouling four-hour workday.
So many people who think so little time.Go to armstrongandgetty.com, pick up a Armstrong and Getty Hot Dogs Are Dogs t-shirt.Drop us a line if there's something we ought to be talking about.Send it to mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com.
Hit the hot links.Everything we reference, the videos, the articles, it's all under hot links.
I realize some of you adults will be getting drunk tonight, and we'll see you tomorrow, too.All of you.God bless America.
This concludes this year's Halloween show.We hope you had as much fun watching our show as the Koreans did animating it.But there's one group for whom every day is Halloween.I'm talking about adult illiterates.
For them, trying to read the morning newspaper is more terrifying than any goblin, ghoul, spook, or spirit.
