WEBVTT - Conflation & Conspiracies 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:10.840 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and. 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:17.200 Jettie and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.680 They lost a lot of faith in certain people, and yeah, 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.440 they got duped by the Democrats. 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.720 President Trump's wiping at what he calls his past supporters, 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:38.320 calling them weaklings for falling prey to quote Democratic bs 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.160 over what he's now branded the Epstein hoax. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.440 Look at the Steele dossier that turned out to be 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.040 a total hoax. It's perpetrated by the Democrats, and some 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.640 stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net. 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.160 You're stupid if you believe the whole Epstein thing. And 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.560 he doesn't want your vote anymore. So we talked about 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.600 this yesterday because it happened while we were on the air, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.520 and we played all the clips for you. It's kind 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.360 of hard to explain you would use this tact to 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:11.280 try to deal with getting out of this mess. So 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:16.720 Charlie Kirk, he is a huge MAGA leader among particularly 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.880 the young crowd. He had that event the other day 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.280 where a number of right wing hosts say, who thinks 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.039 there's a cover up in the crowd, cheers wily wildly 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.440 and all that sort of stuff. So then Charlie Kirk 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.080 put out a statement, what like the next day, Joe 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.920 that it seemed like Trump had given him a call 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:35.679 or something like that. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.760 Because he said it's own that Trump called him. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.880 Okay, and he and Charlie we're going out of a 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.399 statement where he basically said, look, there there's nothing there. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.640 Let's all move on and make America great again or 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.240 I'm something. He was ready to turn the page. And 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.160 then I don't know if he got huge blowback from 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.840 his audience or what, but he has sounded different since then, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.720 and yesterday this Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, on 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.240 his podcast yesterday attempted some damage can on Trump's behalf 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.600 don't take too seriously the whole truth social Here, Kirk 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.120 told his audience, I know some people are getting fired 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.880 up about this. I don't believe he was trying to 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.480 insult anybody personally. All right, well, you know, if you 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.799 call me, if you call me stupid and a dupe, 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.399 it seems fairly personal. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.600 But and Charlie Kirk, counting on the fact that those 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.040 people are stupid and dupes. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:26.200 Apparently Still, he expressed frustration about the administration's handling of 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.520 the issue himself. We are now Wednesday, going into Thursday. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.040 People are very very confused, and some people are very 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.239 disappointed and mad. Charlie Kirk said, we made so much 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.640 progress with gen Z and this is a big vulnerability 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.440 online on TikTok, this story is not landing. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.720 Well, let's fix this and we can. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.799 He does make a good point the Republican Party doing 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.320 better with young people than it has in my going 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.359 back to Reagan, right, and if this is the thing 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.600 that blows it up. But I don't, I don't know. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.640 Guess where I break down on this story all the time. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.200 Is it seems so obvious to me what's happened that 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:11.200 I don't There was never any there there there's not 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.560 a child sex ring being run by Democrats in Hollywood. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.760 Podcasters were saying it to get clicks and listeners. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.120 That's what I assumed all along. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.079 It's true. It turns out to be true. They're even 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.640 saying it's true. Right, and it's over. And maybe you 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.760 can be mad at them. If you fell for it 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.800 fell forward as a prejudicial you don't fall for something. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.359 It's not on you. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.520 If somebody you trust lies to you, that's not your fault. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.240 You're not a dupe or week or any of those things. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.920 You trusted somebody and they lied to you. You trusted 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.840 Dan Bongino or Pam Bondi and they lied to you. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.520 Now you know, I don't know what you. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:52.480 Do with that, but right, right, yeah, gosh, dang it. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.600 This thing has so many tentacles. I think one of 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.400 the more interesting aspects of this is that the sort 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:05.480 of people that would pitch this sort of infotainment, they're 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.920 so much closer to power than they've ever been before. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:14.400 On the right in Republican circles, that sort of which 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:20.600 Hunty all Republicans are racist, bigot, evil, you know, beer swinging, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:21.880 cross burning. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.000 You know, fictions existed on the left very very close 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.520 to power for a very long time. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.800 But the Republican Party, for you know, try to be 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.760 the party of realists and grown ups and the rest 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:37.200 of it. You know. I've been reading more about this 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.799 sort of thing, not necessarily the Epstein conspiracy theory in general, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.560 and it's called it's referred to as. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:47.680 What's it. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:54.880 There's a term for it, pedo critical pedo theory. That's 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.200 got the fair history on the right going back probably 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.360 fifteen years and stuff. It is just those who would 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:07.880 hook you have realized that certain elements, it's like writing 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:13.400 a hit song, certain elements like child victims, you know, 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.120 the powerful in the government, evil doers who are fairly 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.560 easily identified, like the Jews, which doesn't factor into every 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.800 version of this, but it factors into a hell of 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:23.560 a lot of them. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.880 That's the that's the markers of a hit song. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.600 It's like, you know, all pop music now is completely 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.279 formulaa computer generator. They've realized what trips your triggers. This 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.480 has all of it, and so it's it's super compelling. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.160 And then you've got people now who are very very 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.800 close to power who used to be pitching it. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.440 We're working up to the latest polling which will show 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.760 you if your attitude is where most of Americas is. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.920 We did get this text yesterday just to represent a 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.800 chunk of you that we know are out there YouTube 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.920 protecting and siding with Petos is shocking and horrible. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.200 Yeah, we're not, and never would. That's the point. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.720 I would be calling for the death penalty for all 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.760 of them. If I thought that was happening if hundreds 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.200 of thousands of children were being sex trafficked by the 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.200 Democratic Party and business leaders and maybe some Republicans. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.400 Yeah, you know what again, Charlie Kirkin turning point, USA 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.719 have done some great stuff among young people. 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:23.640 You know, it's a shame. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.640 It reminds me of certain people I've known who have 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.839 been wonderful in some ways and just utterly corrosive in others. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:35.080 But they've done some fabulous things, giving conservative kids, young 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.320 people confidence to speak their beliefs, etc. On the other hand, Charlie, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.719 I think in the last several days has been the 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.680 perfect illustration of my point of view. This was the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:50.359 most important thing in the world, and it must be 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.360 exposed and it must be brought down. Until Donald said, hey, 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.240 would you cool your jets on this? Is this cause 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.600 on Maggus some real problems. And he said, I'm done 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.000 talking about this for now, and I think everybody should 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.880 be and everything's fine. And then he got a backlash 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.560 like later that day from his audience who said no, no, no, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.640 And so he came out and changed his mind again 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.880 and said, I demand these fifteen things because we've got 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.880 to get to the bottom of this some entertainment. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.160 Two things that get conflated a lot, which I think 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.040 confused the conversation and maybe some of this polling. I'm 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:28.720 about to tell you is the difference between documents, the 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:33.720 case files, and a list. Sometimes those get used interchangeably. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.520 Is there an Epstein file, Well, of course there is. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.720 There was an investigation, So there's a file showing an 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.960 investigation that ultimately led nowhere is there a list apparently 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.280 of clients and blackmail? 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.440 No, there is not, so. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.560 According to people inside and outside and people leaking and 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:56.480 everything else. But people conflate those two regularly. They said 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.560 there wasn't a file. There is a file, so there 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.800 where's the list? Well, those two different things. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.200 And as Alan Dershowitz pointed out, lots and lots of 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.680 names come up in an investigation, so you could say 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.000 there's a list of names, but those are being kept 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.560 secret for the reason they always. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.480 Are, as we discussed earlier. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.160 If you're not being charged and you just happen to 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.960 be somewhere, the Feds aren't going to come out and say, hey, 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.360 Joe Getty was at that party, by the way, just 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.360 saying they're not in that business. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.200 Except when James Comey's in charge. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.400 But when you're firing people up about a list, you mean, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.120 is there a list of clients? And the listing, you know, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:38.480 is proof of blackmail for child molestation, right, and the 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.680 blackmail and all that. So here's the polling from Morning consult, 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:48.080 a respected polling organization, the statement there's no evidence of 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.840 a client list or blackmail scheme involving Epstein and prominent people. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.320 The plurality the biggest number no, at fifty one percent 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.440 only so so you know, I don't know why they 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.720 present it is no. But so over half or roughly 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.320 half of America says yes, there is there is a 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.199 blackmail list. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:11.079 It exists. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.800 Only twenty five percent of people say no, There isn't 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.800 a quarter people say I don't have any idea, But 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.600 so a plurality of America thinks there is a blackmail 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.760 list out there. You want to break it down by party, Democrats, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.200 it's sixty percent of Democrats think there's a list, which 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.679 is interesting given the fact that the prevailing thought is 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:35.520 that it's a Democrats in Hollywood running the child trafficking scheme. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.679 And sixty percent of Democrats think there is a blackmail 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.560 list of that it's only forty one percent of Republicans 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.040 that think it is. So that's where it gets confusing 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.600 on this whole thing. But I guess it could completely fuddled. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.600 But I guess they're all the young crowd and very 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.080 worked up about it. And that's why Charlie Kirk speakin 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.200 to it, right. But overall, it's half of America now 0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:02.800 on just this question Epstein committed suicide in prison? No 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:08.000 is the plurality forty two biggest chunk of voters say no, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.440 twenty three percent say I don't know, only thirty five 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.400 percent say only a thirty people say yes, he committed suicide. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.640 I'd be in that crowd. I believe he committed suicide. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.760 But the biggest chunk of people, and again you break 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.959 it down by Republicans and Democrats, and the theory is that, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.440 like if he was killed, it's the Democrats that did it. Right, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.800 the jokes about Hillary Clinton's sensible shoes click clacking away 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.160 through the prison. I don't think Hillary Clinton stuffed him. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.760 But that's the biggest chunk that believes he didn't commit suicide. Democrats. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:44.559 Half of Democrats think he did not commit suicide. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.120 Right, Virtually all of the big names you ever hear 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.880 whispered well spoken out loud these days that it might 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.240 have been partying with him are Democrats, virtually all of them. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:58.559 So yeah, this again, I'm completely befuddled. And only thirty. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.880 Seven percent are Republicans think he commit didn't commit suicide. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.040 So it doesn't fit with the narrative of everything we're 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.280 hearing the last couple of times, right, except that shouldn't 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.679 Trump be in shouldn't Trump be talking about all the 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.920 Democrat dupes have felt for it based on this polling. 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.320 Yes, one hundred percent, And shouldn't be addressing his followers 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:20.600 at all? 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:21.280 Why would he? 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:26.000 Again? I get his frustration, but it was dumb politics. 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.439 So what I was about to say was the thing 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.880 you have to remember, because they're just pulling Democrats and Republicans, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.120 is that there are subsets of both of those parties. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.880 I mean, it's obvious within the Democratic Party because it's 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:45.200 just a mosaic of completely unrelated grievance groups that have said, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.640 all right, i'll yell about your grievance if you'll yell 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:52.160 about mine, okay, And we're all borderline Marxists, so everybody 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.800 knows that that's a patchwork. But within conservatism, within the 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.280 Republican Party, I should say, now you have classic conservatives 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:04.120 have salted the earth's red state, maga folks, you have 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:10.040 online Pizzagate types, you have you know, to various other 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:15.880 you know, stripes of Republicanism. So yeah, it's a plurality 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.839 of Republicans that say now that it's more or less 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.880 unfolded the way it seems it unfolded. But there is 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.600 a substantial minority that thinks very very differently. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.440 But you know, and I'm ready to be done talking 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.559 about this, but the media narrative of the last several days, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.800 since its mainstream media and left media that loves this 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.680 story so much, and talking about conspiracy minded Republicans, it 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.760 would appear there are more conspiracy minded Democrats than there 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:46.200 are Republicans. And since they probably weren't listening to Dan 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:51.200 Bongino or Pam Bondi, where did they come by their 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.000 conspiracy That's what I'm confused by. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.400 They're not listening to the Dan Bongino podcast every day. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:03.920 Right, So other plank in the conspiracy platform coming up 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.520 in a little bit, got a great email about it too. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.840 What it boils down to, it's because it become a symbol. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.560 Pretty good insight. We'll get to that in a little 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.040 bit too. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.199 If you can figure out the confusion around this where 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.080 it seems to be more Democrats and Republicans that are 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.559 into this story text line four one five two nine 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.240 five k ftcar. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.520 Some more political news. Trump is so facing criticism for 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.400 his handling of the Epstein files. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.000 Yeah, the excuses are getting worse and worse today. Trump 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.559 was like a doug ate the Epstein files. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:44.720 Then people in Ohio ate the dog. That's pretty funny joke. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.599 Here's the story for you will get to do. You 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.920 know who Steve Miller is. Some people call what is 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.200 the Pomptous of Love. Some people call me the space cowboy. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.000 That Steve Miller has canceled his tour because of climate change, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.840 and his statement is ridiculous, even though I'm a giant fan. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.120 Of his music, He's an ignoramus. So we got that 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:05.679 coming up. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.400 The number of guitar heroes who are morons is surprising. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:13.160 Anyway. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.199 A couple of things very quickly, A couple of emails. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.880 Robert Julaine Maxwell wasn't even arrested until a year after 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.720 Epstein's death. Yes, I got that timeline wrong. I apologize 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.600 deeply and humbly thank you for the email. I like 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:30.040 this from a frequent correspondent to me to the initials, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.040 I just thought I would chime in about the whole 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.240 Epstein infatuation. Way I see it, Epstein is transcended being 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.080 the image of a person and become a symbol, my opinion, 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.040 symbolizes two things that deeply unnerve the right, if not all, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.400 of America. One, we American citizens never get answers anymore 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.280 on things like this, like pervos in power. There's always 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.120 some investigation that manages to find nothing but relevant facts 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.200 are locked away behind a court order. Sure too, the 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.320 belief to the belief that there's a two tier system 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.920 of justice. We all know there is has Hunter Biden 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.240 and convicted of anything? Well, actually he was, but that 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.760 he was pardoned. Did Jesse Smollett serve any time? Did 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.800 he as innocent of everything? Right? Remember oj Simpson? Of 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.520 course there's old Ted Kennedy. You never answered for anything. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.800 Epstein is a symbol of the idea that no matter 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.560 how bad you are, as long as you're well connected, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.520 you'll never truly have to answer to the American people. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:22.840 There is that failing out there. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.640 Who leaked the Supreme Court decision to try to discredit 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.440 the Supreme Court. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:34.440 No answer, right, right, yeah, yeah. It's really frustrating. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:40.400 So if I were in the business of like perpetuating QAnon, Pizzagate, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.840 Epstein conspiracy theory type stuff, I would be going heavy 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.000 on this, and they probably will be by noon today 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:51.840 if they aren't already. The Justice Department just fired a 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:57.920 prosecutor in Manhattan, a woman by the name of Maureen Komy. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.360 My last name sound vaguely familiar. She's the daughter of 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.840 James Comy. I hope dot dot cover up, dot dot 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.600 dot something something just it writes itself. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.520 I don't know about a cover up, but I hope 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.240 that she was fired just as part of the They're 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.320 firing people in Justice Apartment and lots of different departments. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:23.080 And not specifically because he hates James call me so much. Wait, 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.080 there's more, Jack. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.400 She was also a prosecutor who worked on the and 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.360 she took a leading role in the Julane Maxwell case 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.640 and was part of the Epstein investigation. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.160 All right, so were one hundred FBI officers according to 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.239 hundreds of FBI officers, which is nuts. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.680 Yeah, But my point it is, indeed I have one, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:50.560 is is that you would have to work as hard 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.320 to debunk all of this as the people are working 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.960 to bunk it. In other words, James Freaking Comy's daughter, 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.600 who was investigating both of these scumbags, just get fired 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.080 by the Trump administration. I don't have enough time in 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.840 my day to build a case where that has an 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.240 innocent explanation because it sounds thirty as. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:09.840 L it does. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.920 You don't get to see Steve Miller on tour because 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.400 of climate change, among other things. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:20.960 On the way Armstrong and Getty, Stevie Wonder denied rumors 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:22.640 that he's not really blind. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.040 True, the guy had nine kids with five. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.520 Different women and he thought he was being faithful. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:35.840 We did that whole story the other day. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.919 Stevie Wonder apparently is blind, but has played into that 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.000 joke for many, many years, which is kind of funny. 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.720 He does have nine kids with five women, which lots 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.080 of musicians, athletes, etc. Do and we just kind of 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.960 turn a blind eye to that very odd lifestyle. I'm 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.280 speaking of musicians named Steve a different one Steve Miller. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.440 What's your favorite Steve Miller band song? Had to beat 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:00.840 the Joker. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.240 Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's like you're asking me 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.000 to pick my favorite kid. I don't. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:07.840 I love them all. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.760 Steve Miller, whose Greatest Hits album was like the number 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.560 one selling album in the in the world for years 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.400 and years and years and years because all his giant 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.560 hits were on there. Interesting story. I remember when he 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.679 was on Charlie Rose a couple of years back and 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.280 he played the Joker alone with a guitar for Charlie Rose, 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.119 and it was very, very good. But you see, some 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.280 people call him the space cowboy. But he told the 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.959 story about how he he had he put out an 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.399 album giant hits. He was like the biggest thing in 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:39.080 all of music, and then the record company tried to 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.119 tell him what to do and he just said no 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.040 and had to leave music. He left the music business 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.879 rather than do what they told him to do because 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:48.440 he's just like, I. 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.680 Don't have to I'm rich now, screw you. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.760 Well, and he was an actual like kippie yeah, I 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.840 mean nonformist hippie. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.200 Well, he has canceled this tour. I would have actually 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.160 paid to go see Steve Miller, but he's not going 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.919 to tour because of it's not safe, the unacceptable risks 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:11.720 of natural disasters. What yes, you put out this post yesterday. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.399 He's supposed to tour starting like in August, in a 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.040 couple of weeks and for many, many months around the country. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.879 He cannot put his people in the band and the 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.880 crowd who would come to see him in harm's way 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.320 with all the natural disasters that are happening due to 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:28.240 climate change. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:29.560 Here's his statement. 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.320 You make music with your instincts, You live life by 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.520 your instincts. Always trust your instincts. The Steve Miller Band 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.240 is canceled all of our upcoming dates. The combination of 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:43.920 extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, massive forest fires. A 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.760 forest fire was going to get your concert made these 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.480 risks for the audience and my band and crew unacceptable. 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.399 So when was the last time of flood canceled a 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:54.920 concert like in progress? 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.159 Steve, So you can blame it on the weather. The 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.400 tour is canceled. I don't know where, I don't know when. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.240 We hope to see you again. Wishing you peace, love 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.480 and happiness. Please take care of each other, Steve, the 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:05.280 band and crew. 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:10.560 Yeah, my instincts say you're an octagenarian hippie whose mind 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:11.840 doesn't work right anymore. 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:15.000 Yeah, you're here an eighty something hippie who's like, really, 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.120 you're probably taking in the most ridiculous Twitter feeds yourself. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:20.040 Yeah. 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.320 Chrissy Hind, also an ancient rocker of The Pretenders, set 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.920 a couple of weeks ago at an outdoor concert. Outdoor 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.880 concerts will be coming to a close soon. We won't 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:29.560 be able to do it anymore because it's so hot. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.360 I've had to stripe ass ice packs to my waist 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.960 to survive this. It's because you're an old woman. You're 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.040 now an old woman out of heat. It's not the 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:42.640 same as being twenty five. Those are hot flashes, she's 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:47.840 feeling exactly. Yeah, she's a little old fraud flashes. But anyway, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.159 that's pretty funny, these old hippies. 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:52.560 I mean, that's you. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.199 Can believe climate change all you want, but the idea 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.479 that it's not safe for your crew because of the 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.960 floods that happen in Texas or earthquake somewhere, whatever the 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.679 hell I mean, it's just what is how when's the 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.760 last time anybody died at a concert in America because 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.560 of anything? Climate change? Related, or you could even claim 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.040 was climate change related. 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.320 I know, that's that's hilarious. I know, and it's so 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.400 wildly disconnected from reality. It's it's it's almost beyond hilarious. 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.280 It's troubling. And I'll bet there's somebody listening. And if 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.679 that's you, feel free to email us mail bag at 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.920 armstrong andgeddi dot com. But there has got to be 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.840 like a known psychological profile about the sort of person 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:41.080 who defines themselves so completely with being cause oriented that they'll, 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.879 you know, even at their advanced age, sees onto what 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.440 seems to be the hot cause of the day and 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.480 throw themselves into it with one hundred percent a conviction, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.960 but more importantly, one hundred percent belief in whatever they 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.640 have to believe to make that conviction seem righteous all 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.280 of them that it defines them completely. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.680 I can't imagine what all goes into scheduling a major tour, 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:11.680
