The Intersection
The Intersection 9/11/2024
[music] Welcome to the intersection. With me already tonight is Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, Amy. Good to see you. Did you watch the debate last night? I sure did. And we can talk about that probably for three hours, but... [laughter] Well, I think the highlights, I guess, are how we feel about it. Let's start with the start. The handshake. The handshake. Perfect opening move. If it was a chess game, that's the opening move that you do, right? Yeah, if you haven't seen it. Trump is slowly walking toward the podium instead of toward this and at a stage where you're supposed to meet your opponent and shake hands. And so he's going straight for the podium and he's moving really slow and he won't look over at Kamala. And Kamala just be lines to women, pretty much forces him to shake her hand and then introduces her name self and says her name correctly. Classic. It was such a power move. From that moment, she had him. I know it. You could all throughout it. He just got more and more angry and upset. [coughing] Overall, it was just about what I expected. I almost thought he'd go a little more into crazy town, but he didn't. He kept that somewhat in a bay. He was not completely, though, and she wasn't perfect. She kind of stumbled over her words a little bit, but she got her stride and did just fine. She accomplished everything she needed to. And she just mopped the floor with him. She kept leaving little bay out there for him. And they telegraphed ahead of time. They were going to do this. They were going to try and bait him. [coughing] You know, he doesn't do his homework. He's lazy. This is the biggest thing. Right. He admitted he didn't read the project 20/25, and he's not going to read it because he's lazy. He doesn't want to read it. Right. Well, I mean, they used to have the presidential daily briefings when Trump was in office. They had to dumb them down and take them down to just bullet lists and make it really short with lots of slides and pictures. [coughing] Is that not the most pathetic thing you've heard? And I just saw recently a complaint that [coughing] from a staffer, from Kamala Harris was that she, you have to come in really, really prepared because she's read through everything and marked it up and has questions. [coughing] That may not be the dick you think it is. [coughing] So you're saying she does her job and does it well and expects you to do yours too? Okay. Well, Alan just joined us. We are talking about the debate. And the way-- Imagine that. Yeah, imagine that. [laughing] The ways that Kamala Harris bated Trump just over and over and he would buy the crowd size. Oh my God. That was just beautiful. It didn't surprise me the way she bated him because that's what a prosecutor does. She treated him like a criminal in court and they try to set you up to say things that you don't want to say. Mm-hmm. Well, I knew she would be good at that, but I mean, she put that stuff out there to make him go crazy and it did make him go crazy. Right. Right. She said things, asked questions, said things to him, that the average person wouldn't have quite the nerve to say, but she said it, you know, and it was accurate and it was clear. It was focused and it was just there. He didn't take it well at all. I talked about all the generals that worked with him. Think you're on top of it. What else did he say? The generals in specific, you mean? Yeah. What was the word? Um, well, was it him or somebody else that he's a moron? You know, basically, you know, it's not fit to be Commander-in-Chief. Yeah. Unfit. It's not fit to be Commander-in-Chief. It should not happen again, you know. Democracy is at risk if it does, if you lose. Yeah. So who had gender surgery on illegal immigrants in jail on their bingo card? [laughs] I mean, it's like they had a bold pull of crazy conspiracies they've been pushing, and they just started reaching in and pulling them out one at a time and going, "Okay, gender surgery, illegal aliens, jail." That's it. Okay. [laughs] That's really, that she wants to do gender surgery on illegal aliens in jail. It's nuts. It's so nuts. For me, there was two good three good points. One is when she went on stage, she shook his hand. Yeah. He didn't know what to think. And he said, "Nice to meet you. You're a good-looking or something." She said, "Thank you." But, and that was kind of, you didn't hear the whole thing. But, the two things was when he brought up their eating cats and dogs, I mean, where did that come from? And then that they kill babies after they're born. And the commentator says that's not done in all 50 states, Mr. President. That's illegal. And so bad is the legal one, all 50 states. The commentators had a tough job to rein him in. They let him do his thing, but they'd have to say, "No, Mr. President." You know? You had to kind of balance that, you know, keeping the guy in check versus letting him just run wild, you know? The one thing I thought was funny is probably in the first ten minutes, instead of saying he was the former president, he was the former vice president, Kamala said. And so that's a, who cares thing, you know? He didn't even react to it. I thought, I thought, I thought I thought I heard that and I went, "Wait, oh, they missed." I think it was a reference to Mike Pence. It was, or it was what was, I think that was the beginning of bringing up January 6th. Right. In the beginning, she was a little nervous, and she was finding her steps a little bit. She did it, and she has experience at these things. I'm not talking about it in court. She ran for president, and so she debated people on stage. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but this is the biggest night of her life. I mean, yeah, that's pretty, you know? I'd make you nervous. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I, I, I knew she was going to claim the floor with him. I was just surprised at how, and I'm not sure why I'm surprised, but how insane he was. How completely unmoored for reality. And he didn't even need to show up. He was the same open book that he always is. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Very serious, you know, including still 2020. Yeah. Yeah. That he won. Well, he knows he lost. Oh, here comes Charlie. He did it. He wants to, he wants to take the ABC license away. Yeah. Yeah. They're working, they're working the rest. Yeah. There's no license to take away. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Whatever. Just companies don't have license. That's right. They can do. Individual stations do. That's right. There you go. I loved it when she said to him that the woman sitting out in her car bleeding out because she had miscarriage and the doctors won't treat her because they're afraid they might be thrown out of jail by their state for that. They didn't ask her that they'll be waiting to be overturned. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she had such a good answer there. And he's in a fair way because, you know, that dog caught that car. And everybody knows who did it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the scary thing is he can still win. I know. This is no guarantee. Because the debate was good or bad. It doesn't guarantee anything. No. No. No. No. He didn't win any undecideds with his performance and he has to get some undecideds because he lost. The last election. All three of them get new voters. So you got to lose again. I don't see. I don't believe in undecideds myself. I think people know who they want. Mm-hmm. Ahead of time. For the most part. Yeah. I don't see. I think there's a lot of young voters that are just getting engaged. But they've never voted before. Right. Well, from the time that Taylor Swift posted her endorsement, including a link to vote.gov. Yeah. To 11 a.m. today. There were actually over 300,000 new hits from her link directly. Yes. Yeah. People that went to her site to find out how to register. Swift power. I love what the Lincoln Project's been saying in the news. I mean, it's just. No, it won't be news to anybody here, but it's really been good. They brought up that when Taylor Swift endorsed him, she was holding. She sent a picture with her holding a cat. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. It loves a cat lady picture. Uh. Take that JD. Yeah. This is getting to be an expensive election for me. This is the second time I've given the Kamala. And I actually have given twice to the Lincoln Project this year. Yeah. So. Yeah. Hey, I like Lincoln Project. And my test is doing a really good job too. They've got some good commercials out there. I watched their after show review and also watched. Mary Trump's post show. But she was on Lawrence or Donald tonight. Oh. Lawrence was talking with one of his guests about how all there was all of this effort to take Biden off the ticket was also an effort to take Kamala Harris off the ticket. And there was like three years of reporting out in DC that was all designed to make her look bad. Yeah. Yeah. You know, Charlie and I, you know, we're like, I don't know what, why do y'all think? I can figure out what everybody was saying she needed to go, but this was a conservative effort. And he said, you know, they weren't showing you the Kamala Harris that I knew. See, I knew the first time I met her. That she was going straight to the top. The way she performed. Oh, man. Yeah. Awesome. She was. But, but like you say, I agree for the last years that the consensus from the media is that she's not doing much. She's not doing a very good job. It's just constantly fed that directly or indirectly. Have you noticed that? Well, I kept having arguments with people and I couldn't figure it out that words are saying that about Kamala Harris. So we don't want Kamala to be at the top of the ticket. And I'm like, why? I think we're absolutely ready for a woman president. And I think she's the one. I, you know, barring some crazy shit. She should win. You know, it's just. But, but you should be afraid. But wait, yeah, I'll pedal to the metal. Oh, yeah. We can't let off donation to data. Can I break up the monotony for a minute? Sure. So Brian and I were talking in chat, you know, in text about getting COVID flu and RSV shots all at one time. The reason you don't want to do it is is I told Brian, I bring this up, but I can bring it up here real quick. Just for people is because if you have a reaction, they're not going to know which one you have the reaction to. And then next time you go to get a flu shot or a COVID shot. You're going to be on a list that says don't give it to him because he had a reaction, but they're guessing. And in the case of RSV, it's only been out of year, but in their studies in Pfizer and in GSK. The two people came out with the vaccine first. There were there were some people in it that they're still looking into a year later that ended up getting a fib arteriofibulation from the vaccine. It's a very low number. A stat news or something like that said. Four people out of every million, but that's it's kind of unheard of in vaccines. There's this Gilliam Beret. I'm saying it wrong. Yeah, something like that syndrome, which was also higher in RSV shot, but any, any vaccine can give it to you. So it's a central nervous system thing and it's bad if it comes out bad, but in any case. So I, I'm going to hold off on my RSV shot another year or at least until the CDC and FDA finished looking into it. Okay, I'm done. I've got both of them last. I got a flu shot in RSV a year ago and never had any reaction to. Good, good. You're fine. Yeah, you're fine. The RSV thing can happen anytime up to 24 days, I think. Yeah, but I'm going to do what you said. Do one at a time. Get the flu. Right. Every two every two weeks is what I tell people. Two weeks or so and then to get the COVID that gives your body time to. Yeah. Learn that one virus at a time and I don't know. There's there's pros and cons to it. You know, the con is, of course, you got to go back three times or twice. Yeah. But for me, it's no big deal. It's, you know, it's a three mile drive and I'm there every day anyhow. Not really, but, you know, when you get the shot, the guy goes, you know, you can get the other one too. You know, and I just had last year and my doctor said I didn't need it this year. So yeah. Yeah, you understand your graph, but they want you to get a bunch that way there's fewer people, less crowds. But right now they want you to get the same time. And as a matter of fact, not this year, but next year they're planning to combine the two. But what happens if you're one of the people that doesn't want the flu shot? And so then you don't get the COVID shot or vice versa. Yeah. You know, can't win. There's so few people that are actually getting the COVID shot. No, the shot that came out right before this new one. 23% of Americans. They were eligible got a vaccine this year with that shot. 23%. It's very low. How do you know one out of four and people right and people wonder what how this cover COVID big summer COVID event happened because nobody's vaccinated the last time we got a vaccine was in 2023 maybe. So, yeah, it's. I don't know it's a mess. Yeah. Let's go back to the campaign. Maybe, maybe Trump got his all three shots the day before. You thought it would make him smart. That's not possible in his mind. He thinks those shots are liberal conspiracy, you know, actually he would the COVID shot. I don't think that's he wanted it named after him. Yeah. So I don't know he was anti mask, but not anti vaccine. So he because he started this, whatever it was that accelerated Moderna and Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson to get. You know, the US government bought a million doses of each one. They were looking really good. And that way, if they got approval, they would be a million ahead. And he was, it was a good, it was a good call by him and this administration because if it didn't get approved, it's only money and we have plenty of it. You could waste it in a lot of other ways. And, you know, who knows, you could sell it to Russia. Get it approved here or so. I don't know, but. Well, John Stewart said that Trump really didn't perform any different leaf in this time than he did with Biden. It's just a difference was having somebody that could speak and complete sentences and form complete ideas. On the other side. That's right. It was just for whatever reason, was I able to do that. You know, had had Biden stayed in and had another, had another. Review called debate, Biden may have come out looking a lot better than Trump. And there's, and once again had Biden stayed in, there was a chance, although probably a small chance, he might have won. The thing that was scary was a lot of the Republican senators and congressmen were worried about Biden staying in and losing control of the Senate and the House. So Biden made the smart move, stepped up, you know, swallow the sword, whatever the things go, I use it all the time, you know, I fell on the sword. I use it with my mother all the time. And, you know, when she's just, she'll say, you know, something and it'll piss her off and we'll get an argument and I'll just fall on the sword. And, and just saying it's my fault, you know, and move on. But that's something Trump would never do. Now, Wayne, why don't you get a green screen with Clark and a picture on it behind you. That's an idea you didn't think about them. You would the look on your face. I don't need a green screen. I just moved to another position on the table. So anyway, what did you do over the weeks? When is JD and Tim going to debate next? Is that in a few weeks? I don't know. I don't know. I haven't heard. I don't know if one has been agreed to. I don't remember hearing that. I don't either. I heard that they were talking about it, but that was the last I heard. Oh, I thought it was a given. Let's look it up. Let's just. Yeah, yeah. Ask your vice president, date 2024. Or did anybody see that the Apple event, all the new products, they had not to be a, you know, a poster of Apple. Wow, the technology they have now is just amazing. What kind of what kind of things? Well, the new iPhone 16 is going to have the Apple intelligence. And, you know, it does all that like, you know, chat, GBT for you and everything. And just, you know, just one thing after another, the battery life, the processors were 60% faster than the one I have now. Yeah, yeah. I just on and on and on and on. October the 1st in New York City. Let me throw a fight presidential debate event. Okay, there you go. Yeah. Oh, that's going right up. Yeah, about two three years over the first book in New York. Almost three weeks. Yeah. There's some walls. Look, look, who's going to, who's going to produce it. I bet you that's a great one to watch. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Jim is going to. I think the coach is going to wipe the floor with him. I think so too. Fans gets on and counters what Trump said last night today, he gets on the news. I'm like, does this guy reminds me of Dan quail? Yeah. You know, I mean, he's like, you know, how did you pass grade school? I don't know a bitch. You know, Trump should have picked Marjorie Taylor Green or Marco Rubio or some other crazy that job. But you pick somebody that nobody knows, no, except Wayne, nobody cares about. And okay. And the guy wrote some hill going thing. He obviously wasn't poor. Was obviously bullshit. His book and everything. And you know, Phil Myers says, if you read the book, no, why would I want to? I mean, I don't know. Although Phil agreed that, you know, in a text to me yesterday that Trump didn't do, didn't do very good. Now I just find this moment. I think it's the way he put it. And that the dog and cat eating thing is going to come back to bite him. And this is the first time he has ever said something negative about Trump. So if he's nervous, and we know a lot of other Republicans are nervous. And I think the reason he picks on the immigrants is they'll always vote for Democratic candidates. So he can, you know. When you bring in the immigrant in, a lot of them are Latino. And a lot of Latinos automatically, it's not automatic. But most of the Latinos I know are Democrats. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and probably for good read, especially in this election, for good reason. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the Democrats are more for the common man. The Republicans are more for the rich people. It really is. Well, you know, the Democrats are good at giving out money. Yeah. And the Republicans are good for screwing everybody else. So, you know, but I'm not saying they're just giving free money out, but they, they tend to give out more money to people that need it. People that are that are poor and stuff like that, the working poor or whatever. You know, we can give out money to just give it out to the rich. That's right. That's right. Oh. Wayne's going to be getting a new car from Trump. No. Keep my crews as long as I can. What you want to do is videotape you in that new car going, but you get out of the car and have the car go off the cliff. You know, I was just trying to see how much, you know, what's what the price range of stuff is. That's all. And then I started looking at used cars. No. Tell me about it. Yeah. Yeah. So tell me about the car. No, I was just looking at, what was I looking at? Yeah. It's smaller than the cruise. Kind of like the hatchback better than the sedan. They discontinued the cruise, didn't they? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're looking for a used one. Yeah. My cousin's got a used one. Well, she's got a cruise a couple of years newer than mine. That nice reddish color of the kind of, you know, shines in the sun, you know, that, that one, you know. I may ask her if she, you know, she's going to trade that in. I might buy it all over. But I know. When you do car for, what do you mean? I know. It's all the batteries you got with the old car. Yeah. I got two, two spares right now that are acceptable, but not brand new. Mm-hmm. So. You can always use those on the other cruise. Yeah. That's right. You know, it makes me nervous putting an acceptable battery into somebody that goes through. These enormous heat waves. Yeah. And these, in this freezing weather, which is really hard on that, both of them. Yeah. And yet you have old batteries sitting around. I'm like, why? They're not that expensive. Oh, I'll check it out. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, guys, as it is now, I got to the summer car and the winter car. There you go. There you go. That's what I got them for. There you go. That's pretty good. One runs on Duracell. The other one has an ever-ready battery in it. I think after one, I forget what they got now. And I know I've watched two of them recently, so I knew one, each of them, less than two years old right now, so. I buy the best battery I can find. Like my van came with a 650-cope-cranking amp. The best one that will fit in their port is an 850. It's got three years, unlimited miles. And then after that, they'll pro-rate it. And three years, I just buy another battery. They're $150, $160. You know that it's going to last that three years. Otherwise, they wouldn't guarantee it like that. And to me, it's like buying new tires or oil changes or whatever. I have never been stuck on the side of the road in my vehicle. Because I buy a new battery every three years. So now I know who to send my used four batteries to. Yeah. Shipping is going to be expensive. Oh shit. Hazardous material. Probably cost me $300 per shit. I picked the biggest this year's battery as a backup to run the power inverter so I can run the sump pump if I need to in winter time, you know. And that was a heavy, it was over 60 pounds that battery. A lot longer ones too, you know. Yeah. That's a heavy battery. Now we've been able to talk 10 minutes, not about the campaign. That's pretty cool. Now we need the suggestion to jump back in there with it. Did you show if you want to talk about the campaign call? No, no, that's all right. That's all right. We don't have to talk about it. I think we all watch the same campaign, which is kind of cool. You mean debate? Debate, yes. Thank you. Not campaign. Yeah. Did you, other people on the panel catch that Michael Steele comment? Yeah. I'd love to know how to see it. Wayne said to me when you're talking about it. I can't get off. I can't arrange it on the internet. He couldn't do the media. Media. Mediaite. One. He couldn't open. He's got something blocking that thing in his system there. He wouldn't open it. Because I can open it and I'll brave and duck duck go. You couldn't open it either, Charlie? No, I watched it on YouTube, so I didn't have to go in there. Yeah, I've already seen it. That was the last before. We were trying to figure that and find it on YouTube. And then Alex's show came on. I found it and I texted it to you. On the MSNBC site. Under. Yeah. That was it. Let's see. Let's see. There's a. She's got a show. She's got a show. She's more presidential than. I don't think. Are you using the iPhone? Oh. Hey. Oh, Charlie has my phone. Okay. Here we go. Okay, Michael Steele. You know, I watched it on my PC. You can just do a screen on screen. Yeah. Just a minute. It is. It is. It is an MSNBC or piece of data media. Oh. All right. We want to watch it. I'll talk to you in the hallway earlier about that. All we see is us. Oh. You're going to tell me you think of. All right. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I started over and get us off the screen. You only got to go to the first three and a half minutes. I found it under. You told me in the hallway, what was her take on the debate, Michael? Go ahead. Was the key moment. She spanked that ass. That's what she did. She came and she walked on that stage. And look, for me, this is one of those things that you didn't realize happened until about 20 to 30 minutes into the debate. And it's what everyone's talked about. And for me, it was the pivotal, most important moment of the debate was when they were introduced. And Donald Trump came out and if you watch, go back. I'd tell everybody to go back and watch this. He comes out. He goes direct to the podium. And he is not usually go to the middle of the floor to greet your opponent. He went to the podium. He had no intention of shaking her hand. She walked across the stage right into his face, stuck her hand out, and said Kamala Harris. First off, I'm saying my name so you get it right when you say it. Which he never said once during the entire debate, too. He never looked at her during the entire debate. And there was at this point about 20 to 30 minutes in where that moment, for me, hit and resonated. Because she owned that stage from the very first moment. Very much to what Molly was just saying. That what she did was she prosecuted when she needed to prosecute. And all other times she was presidential. And he looked small. He looked withered. He looked beaten. But most importantly, he looked pissed. And there's nothing worse than a pissed bigot on the stage with a woman he can't control. Yep. I agree with this guy. Yep. Yep. You know, I found 50 different things that started out with Ice Bank. Or he or he spanked him. But I kept asking you, "Nope, that's not it. That's not it." She spanked that ass. That's what I said. She walked out there. He should have walked out over her hand. Does he never met? But she walked over to him in the first thing. And then he had it pretty much under control for four minutes. At about four minutes, he put him on the defense big time. And he was showing that he was not a happy camper. He was thinking, "God, I wish I had not agreed to this." And where the dog and cat thing came from? I have no fucking clue. She didn't bring it up. It's never been brought up as far as I know. I mean, in foreign countries, they eat cats and dogs. And I understand maybe some people's pets along the border did get eaten or something. No, this was one thing that somebody told somebody else. You know, cousin, sister's brothers posted it on Facebook. Right in a TikTok. No, it was Facebook. It's a Facebook pest. And then he got spread all over us. This was this rampant thing happening in Springfield, Ohio. The regional post did not claim that they themselves saw this happen. I heard from my sister, cousin's nephew or something, that this happened. And then J.D. Van saw it and just blew it out of complete proportion. Yeah, he just, you know, Trump disagreed with Vance over abortion during the debate. And then afterwards, they interviewed Vance and he switched the wording around again and disagreed with Trump. I love it. This guy's a tr-- I think he would have done a lot better. These two characters have so many bus tire tracks running over themselves. Don't be a thrower. I don't see any. They throw each other under the bucket. Yes. That's what I mean. Oh, man. Well, and well, Trump had that debate last night just threw himself under the bus repeatedly. Yeah, he sure did. He just walked right into the crowd size. Oh, my God. I watched it for the live audience. I saw a video on Midas Touch and it was of a room of people who, you know, went to watch the debate. A bunch of folding chairs, everybody's all sitting there. And he started with, they're eating darts, you know. And everybody started laughing. What I love is that Kamala Harris just, I mean, prior to that, she had a look on your poor child. Yep. But when he said that, she just busted out laughing. Yeah. That was her reactions all night were a better shot. You can just turn off the sound and watch her. Yeah. My favorite line was about Putin that he will eat you for lunch. Oh, man. You know, the scary thing is that he even did the debate. She brought this up, I think. He's friends with Putin. He's friends with the guy that's the president of China. Not really. She's a big president and he's friends with Kim Jong-un. He's had problems with all those people. All those people were smarter than him. And, you know, he thinks they're friends because he wants to be a dictator like them. Well, the one example of somebody who can speak in his favor, he says Victor Orban. Yeah. Yeah. They call him a strong man. I call him a, what did he say? I call him a tough guy and a tough guy like that. And he said that if we, if she wins, then we're going to be like Venezuela and steroids. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Christie was on the view today. And one of his comments was that, you know, because he's friends and good buddies at all, he's a, you know, this horrible guy and the guy in North Korea and guy in China. You make Chris Christie made a comment that they know how to manipulate him now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's been pretty well known. Yeah. I mean, why did Jared Kushner get $2 billion from the Saudis? That's right. And after leaving the White House, hmm, that's not at all suspicious. That's what we got to keep the Senate because I think the Senate's going to look into that once his election is over. Yeah. Trump tried to manipulate the house today and say, don't, don't pass this bill to keep the government open. Yeah. And, and 10 people in the house stopped it from going anywhere, which pissed off Mike Johnson. Hey, you know, it's not going to, they can pass it. It's just not going to pass in the Senate, especially with all the crap that they loaded it up with. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you know, Mike, you're not in a real good position. You only got one Republican, you know, that, you know, without him, it would be a 50/50 split in the house. You know, you just don't have the power. You know, you might be Speaker of the House, but you're Speaker of a very small house. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know. You better get off your ass and do something or you're going to go by like McCarthy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. McCarthy said on Fox News today, this was not Trump's finest hour. Yep. And Hannity gave him a brave review of the debate, you know. I don't have to talk to Anthony. You know, it's like, Hannity, when he describes something, he gives them what they call a Hannity job. That's right. And it's not a good one either. There was no happy ending at the end. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. All Trump could do is just rehashes, steams, stuff is strong. That's right. That's right. I didn't even need to be there. It was all the same crap. Yeah. Same crap. Yeah. I want to bring up something that happened on Monday. And that is we lost James Earl Jones. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Great voice. Great acting. Yeah. Star Wars got him pretty cheap. They paid him $7,000 to use his voice's Darth Vader. It was in the news today. That's all 7,000. He considers him. Wow. Yeah. It was in the news. It might have been a mistake in the news, but I don't know. Well, I'll remember all these people were pretty young when Star Wars was made. Star Wars was 40 years ago, too. Yeah. Actually. Yeah. That was '74, wasn't it? '77. '77. Okay. Yeah. '47. So it's even longer than that. Yeah. Yeah. I can wear high school in '77, Jesus Christ. And it was just that far back. Something nowadays, you know. That was his voice when CNN kind of just fired up. He was the identifier. He says, "This is CNN." If you remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Uh. That was just thinking, what, what, if you, if you were thinking to yourself, which is your favorite James Earl Jen's movie. Hunt for Red October. Yeah. That was a good one. Yeah. It wasn't me near a whole lot, but you know, I didn't have much of a role in it, but he looked just so sorry, you know. I like, well, he was an admiral or something like that. And I like where he's leaning over the console where they set off a bomb and he says, "Toe-toe the guy that's in charge of hitting the button, you heard it hit the hall of the, of the submarine." And then he, he, he, he, he, he, he holds up his idea and says, "I wasn't here." Yeah. Yeah. Uh. Uh. Uh. Anybody else? I'll get to look up his, uh. I'll come out, Charlie. I thought you'd have every one of his movies. Well, Star Wars is the only one I remember on the top of my head. Well, now you know Hunt for Red October. You don't have that? Yeah. But I remember him as, you know, the, you know, the wise grandfather kind of guy in the, in the story. You know, he always kind of plays, often plays that, right? He does it so well. Mm-hmm. I can't think of the name of the movie, though. Look. The list, probably amazing. My favorite is, um, Dr. Strangelove, where I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Was he in that? He was in that? Yes. Wow. Very, very young. Uh, and he just, he plays like the, the co-pilot of the bomber. Oh, I thought maybe he was a guy. Or the radio guy, something like that. Oh. That's right. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. That was in black and white. I don't know if it was. Yeah. Because they wanted to make it black and white, or is that all they had? No, they, they wanted to make it in black and white. Okay. That was the voice of Mufasa and Lion King. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Lion King. Wasn't he also in, what's the ones with Jurassic Park? No, that was Samuel L. Jackson. Oh, it was. They all look alike. That's what they say. Sorry. Let's just say something. Are you sure? Oh, you say coming to America? Uh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. He was the king. Yeah. I like Samuel L. Jackson though too. He's got a lot of good movies and credits. He's another good actor. Yeah. Oh, they were talking about the amazing restraint that Kamala used and not using that motherfucker. Yeah. I heard that somewhat. Oh, yeah. There was one for it. You can see that motherfucker was right on the channel. Oh, yes. I just, I just, I just, I sent out a little blurb the other day. I just can't believe that there's so many people in this country that are so stupid. Do vote for this guy again. Yeah. I mean, there are some that are just idiots like the, like the, the, the proud boys and the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. They're going to vote for him because he gives them freedom. But, you know, I mean, you know, I can't believe I, you know, I understand there's a difference between Republicans and Democrats. And, you know, there's some good Republicans in my, in my lifetime that have done good. I just can't think of a name of one, but you know, I got George W. Bush was going to be the worst president ever when Trump was in office and what she was still in office. You know, although he and his, his cronies, including what's his name? Dick Cheney started up the, the, the Lincoln project. So I give him credit for that. He said he said they started it only to keep Trump out of office. Once Trump is no longer eligible or a live for office, they'll shut it down. I hope they're spending my money wisely. Well, I mean, Lincoln project is, is mostly like Steve Schmidt. Yeah. I can't remember who else is in the Lincoln project. So I have given Kamala Harris $2,000 in the past. What has she been running for for three weeks now or? It's like, you're almost at the limit, right? Yeah, no, I'm not at anywhere near a limit. I can't take it with me. So I, you know, I, I just don't want to see him in office and I sent $500 to the Lincoln project this year. So. Yeah, this is, this is the second time I've sent her money. Well, you're going to get invitations to the VIP dinner and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. Not, not sending a thousand. I was sending a hundred thousand. That gets attention. They know the only other time I ever sent that type of money. Was to. I don't know. I don't really keep dry. Just whatever comes to mind. You know, I called up her campaign and I said, you're accepting credit card payments. Yep. Okay. Here's my credit card. Take a thousand dollars off of it. Do you do that? Just my arms, you said. It wasn't her. It was, you know, one of the people in the campaign. They took it off and I looked at it on online array in my bank and the bank account of the credit card company says right on, right on the thing says donation for Kamala Harris for president 2024. But wow, that's smart to put that in there instead of some credit card company that's processing it. Yeah. I bet she got off the phone and she went, yes, guess what I just did. Yeah. Yeah. She probably thought, well, there's another payment towards my Ferrari. No, actually, you know, I think it's a worthy cause. You know, I'm, I'm an old man. Oh, my head thing. I told Wayne this that last week they took a scraping and I think I told everybody on the show Thursday because they thought I might have had a basal cell carcinoma would have done my first cancer treatment. It's a low risk cancer, but it's a bump on your head and the biopsy came back yesterday as it's not cancer. So very treatable and I wasn't too worried about it. It's got to be the first time that a deadly disease. You know, I get worried about my blood work nowadays, but I'm not worried about cancer. I don't know how it was negative. And so you just can't think of with you. You just don't know. I mean, I just, I think this is important enough to spend a little bit of money on her to help her out that her campaign is expensive. You know, buying TV time and all this other stuff is and flying all over. I imagine the US government's actually paying for it to fly all over the place. She's an Air Force too, isn't she or something like that? So, yeah, when I doubt that they pay for it, they're going to campaign. Yeah, she's she's got it. Her campaign's got to pay for it separately. She's in her campaign. She's been doing grassroots. She's been in a bus. You know, with 700 Secret Service agents following probably. There's a lot of Secret Service that's following her. Trump even made a comment. Said why does she get better ones than I get? Well, you're a former, you're a has been. She's currently the Vice President. You idiot. What a stupid question. You know, and she's running against the has been that, you know, you got a lot of nut jobs out there that would love to see her gone. You know, all you're going to do is give a call to the Proud Boys or something. So, there, I saw Blurp in one of my police things that it comes every day at an email and they have 125 Secret Service agents assigned to the Vice President. Plus or minus, it will give you the exact number for someone. Well, they are they are carrying in the cars. They're just driving cars. You know, they're they're not just carrying handguns. They're carrying assault rifles, sniper rifles, all kinds of stuff. They're they're waiting for to make sure, you know, yeah, he survives whatever. So, I can't wait to see her on stage. I can't wait to see all the thousands, tens of thousands of people that are there for her inauguration. I'm sure we'll be able to point out Amy in the crowd. Might be some more of us there. Maybe I'll save the money and fly us all there. Trouble is in Washington in January and that, you know, you can get quite cold. Oh, can I just recommend? Can I make a recommendation having been to an inauguration? Because I went to Obama's first. Get those little things that you cracked that you can put in your gloves that heat up. A little hand wire with packets. Get get those for your hands and your feet and bring them with you because you're going to be waiting in line a long time. And it's going to be really, really, really, really cold. I wonder if I take my ID, my retirement ID. I wonder if I can get to the front of the line. I don't think so. I don't think so. I wouldn't try that. It's just wrong on a lot. Well, you have to get an invitation from your member of Congress. Really? I've never had an invitation. You have to get tickets. The million people that were there for Obama all had to get invitations to be there. They had to get tickets to get into certain sections, I guess. The section I was in. Remember they had a huge rally in Chicago? That was for the public, right? Well, but the inauguration is in Washington, D.C. In Washington, D.C. On January 20th. Right. And it's usually snowing and bitter cold then. And so I'll pass on that. I'll spend my money taking us all out the dinner. It was really worth it when I went to the... I went to... January is in Chicago. It's not worth it. That's right. But I tell you what, it was definitely worth it for the Obama inauguration. I went with two little black ladies and unfortunately the two little black ladies, they had tickets for the other side of the mall there for me and for this whole section. But I ended up in a tree. This tree, I guess it was a cherry tree. There were people on every branch of this cherry tree. My bed was a way to the snow. Everybody was setting who was... which branch was going to break first. It actually kind of warmed up. And I'm like, you know, there's snow kind of melted a little bit before the day was done. Yeah, well, it's still cold in January in Washington D.C. Yeah. Even if it's not snowing. And I went to one of the inaugural vaults. That was pretty cool. That I know you needed an invitation to. You can't just walk into that. Right. I would think the name you got a lot of for it. I tell you, once again, I did not have the ticket. The two of them had tickets to the southern ball. I was all dressed up and basically what I did was I got on the light rail and just started asking if anybody had any extra tickets to the southern ball. And I got one to the northeastern ball. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, well, it's time for me to hold my watch up in the air. Yeah, it is about that time, isn't it? Well, excuse me. It's been a fun one. I'm so glad we got to share the experience of last night's debate because that was so much more pleasant than the previous one. She wants to debate him again. I'm not so sure how good an idea that is. I mean, I think it'd be great if she did. I think he'll be just as he will fall for every trap once again. He can't help himself and she's that good. Exactly. You know, it's like dealing with the prisoner from the spent time in prison. When you go to interview him, they know that they opened their mouth the first time to the police and it's playing their way out of it and still with the prison for 10 years. So the next time they get stopped by the police and the police ask them to explain what happened, their mouth is shut. And Trump may get advice to keep his mouth shut. He got that advice this time. Don't you get it? He has the right to remain silent. He just doesn't have the ability. That's the truth. Oh, we have time for, I want to thank Charlie and Brian and Alan and Wayne for joining me this evening. Once again, get registered, get informed, get politically active, and go vote. And if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me. [Music]
