1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: and Jack and he.

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Arms room from studio see sor it's.

5
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: A dimly lit room, broom room deep with them to

6
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: keep bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Where

7
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: we've got our Hanka bingy up. Also, in addition to

8
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: the tree today, happy Honna cut everyone today, we're under

9
00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: the tutelage of our general manager. Sweet vindication. Okay, who's

10
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: getting sweet vindication for what many conservatives. I'm looking at

11
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: the list of stories and sound and everything we've gotten ready,

12
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: and it includes all sorts of stuff. The fact that

13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: Abigail Schreier, who wrote the absolutely wonderful book about the

14
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: transgender craze amongst adolescent girl's irreversible Damage, that she had

15
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: trouble getting published, had trouble getting distributed to hate mail,

16
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: death threats, blah blah blah. Everything she said is one

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: hundred percent correct. Amazon and even the New York Times

18
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: is saying so Amazon wouldn't carry it if I remember correctly.

19
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 4: That is absolutely correct.

20
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see Ted Wheeler, who some irresponsible Wags pronounced

21
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: as Ted Weazel, the mayor of Portland for many moons,

22
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: now coming out and saying the Antifa things a nightmare,

23
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: the violence, that the threats, the political radicalism, how they

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: took over legit movements, and and and his shocked that

25
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: it wasn't a bigger story, but the Eastern media ignored,

26
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: so Ted has come around. There are a list of

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: stories like that, America's faith in their universities something we've

28
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: been talking about for a long time. Wait till you

29
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: hear about the catastrophic drop in the perception of America's

30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: universities among America. Good all the crap we've been talking about.

31
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: And I realize this sounds self aggrandizing, but I think

32
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think if you had any reasonable

33
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: sense of reality, you would have gotten there with us. Anyway,

34
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: All the stuff we've been talking about is one hundred

35
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: percent right. Well, I hope that matters after our alien

36
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: overlords takeover with the drone attack.

37
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: Too much perspective.

38
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: I just saw US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New Jersey

39
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: on TV. She's a US freaking senator who you would

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: think could get a lot of answers when she's calling

41
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: various people about her own state. She said, we don't

42
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: know if these drones are ours or belong to a

43
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: foreign entity. We don't know if they're a danger to

44
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: citizens or our government. We don't know anything. She just

45
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: said that a few minutes ago a sitting US senator. Yes, yes,

46
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: she's a bit of a midwiit, as the kids say today. Uh,

47
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what you can't do with her,

48
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: with her, absolutely, ken, I think I can picture the

49
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: Intelligence services saying, all right, we need to briefe the Senate,

50
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: but not you know who. That is un flipping believable.

51
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: Right right, nobody knows what's going on, or nobody's letting on.

52
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: They know what.

53
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm not worried, I don't think. But it's weird, man,

54
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: it's weird. I'm worried on the same level that I'm

55
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: worried about how soft and entitled feeling we are as

56
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: a superpower. We don't understand the threat we're facing. I

57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: don't think maybe in the you know, I would hope

58
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: the joy chiefs have an idea of it. I would

59
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: hope the White House has an idea of it. Well,

60
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: we'll probably play Joe Biden. He was asked about it

61
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: as he had the first time I've heard for Biden

62
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: in a long time, and man, he sounds old. But

63
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: we'll hear from Biden later he was asked about the drones.

64
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: It's just there's well, there's a lot more legal drones

65
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: up there now, and it's then a lot of copycats.

66
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: And he walked off to the So he had nothing

67
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: to say about it. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't know, though,

68
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But so you're going to tell me

69
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: that there's something going on that's our government that they

70
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: don't tell us senators about when they're calling saying, hey,

71
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: we got drones over our airports? What the hell? I hope?

72
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: So, yeah, I hope that's the case.

73
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's seriously classified stuff that we can't let on,

74
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: you're not going to tell one hundred US senators. That

75
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: would be crazy to do that. Crazy, crazier than maybe

76
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: the highest security clearances on the Homeland Security Committee or

77
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: Defense Committee or something like that.

78
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: Maybe.

79
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: No, that's an untenable situation where you're gonna have I

80
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: contenant Pentagon projects going on around the country and US

81
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: senators not in the know at all. But it's been

82
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: going on for weeks and people all over the country

83
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 3: are talking about it. I mean, the endless speculation about it. Wow,

84
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: that'd be crazy. Why why can't someone come out and say, look,

85
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: nothing to worry about, trust me. Why can't anybody say that? Well,

86
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 3: I guess it's what me Orkis said the other day,

87
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: but he did the weird thing with the caveat. I

88
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: don't know what they are and there's nothing to worry about,

89
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: so that doesn't work. Order is secure, that's right, right. Oh,

90
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: that reminds me the uh PolitiFact, which is such a

91
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: joke of an organization saying their lie of the year.

92
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: Their political lie of the year.

93
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: Was that people are eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio.

94
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: Leaving out the president is just great, and we'll serve

95
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: another term beautifully leaving that one out, and then the

96
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: border is secure now, I mean, come on, hilarious. Yeah,

97
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: that is a good one. We should start the show

98
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: officially before we get trouble with the FCC. We're all

99
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: wearing sana haat and we got missilete. Everybody's kissing everybody

100
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: constantly around here. It's an hr nightmare. Yeah, especially because

101
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: Michael and his welcome Santa t shirt misspelled it and

102
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: says welcome Satans. Oh that he about a discomfort and

103
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: some of our are religious. He bought a cheap Chinese

104
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: knockoff Santate shirt. Tala, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty

105
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: on this How did it already get to be? Oh?

106
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: It's a week from Christmas, Ladies and germs, December the eighteenth, Wednesday,

107
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: the year twenty twenty four, warm strong and getting we

108
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: approve of this program. It's a day from my wife's birthday,

109
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: and I swung in missed on a very important mission.

110
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 4: The pressures hut.

111
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: All right, here we go officially starting the show according

112
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: to FCC rules and regulations.

113
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 4: Here we go at mark, Thanks.

114
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: General writer, So back to the drones. Can can you

115
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: equivocally say that none of the drones that are being

116
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: spotted are d d assets.

117
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: Yes, they are not dood assets, None of them are

118
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: to my knowledge. Note okay, I just clamor right the

119
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: end the best part.

120
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: Play at the beginning of that audio again, would you?

121
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: Thanks? General writer? So back to the drones. Okay, So

122
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: he is a disciplined military man. When he goes, mmm,

123
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: that's a non military translation of oh, for God's sake, uh,

124
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: miss general. Back to the drones. Well, when they had

125
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: the committee meet about UFO is a while and they're

126
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: asking questions about that, was that was gronable and stupid?

127
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: This is definitely not gronable and stupid. What the hell

128
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: is flying around our airports? Right? And if it's innocent,

129
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: let's let's nail it down completely. And here's what I

130
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: shared the flesh lobably not far as I know. Uh,

131
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: here's fleshing out what I was suggesting earlier about being

132
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: a flabby empire or a superpower that has no idea

133
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: of the risk organs? Do you Jack at this moment

134
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: believe if China sought to, they could shut down the

135
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: power grid in two or more American cities, right, Absolutely

136
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: they could. I agree, I agree completely. What percentage of

137
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 3: Americans know that? What percentage are national security apparatus is

138
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: aware of that working on it hard? I don't know,

139
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: probably much more than I'm aware of. Obviously I'm not

140
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: briefed on a regular basis, but I see so many

141
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: signs of this, as if we're stoned, we're lotus eaters.

142
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: Somebody reminded me that that's from Homer. I don't know,

143
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: not Simpson, but don't I don't know lotus eaters. Yeah,

144
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 3: it's it's a people who just set around eating this

145
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: intoxicating plant thingy and we're just dreamy and unaware and ah. Essentially,

146
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: I just I feel like we're a little bit high

147
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: on our own success as a superpower, have no idea

148
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 3: that the barbarians are at the proverbial gate back to

149
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 3: the drugs. Yeah, I I mentioned this a lot, but

150
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it watching the news coverage as

151
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: they uncovered yet another mass grave in Syria. Just I

152
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: mean horrifying what has been going on in that country

153
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 3: for over half a century. And how easily without the

154
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: United States to keep the world order, that could be

155
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: the whole planet. I mean that that is, that is

156
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: more likely a situation for humankind than what we've got now. Yeah,

157
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 3: and the United States is the main thing keeping that.

158
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: China doesn't care if countries are like that. If China

159
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: becomes the dominant power on Earth and we can't stop them,

160
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: they don't care. If they're Syrias in the world, doesn't

161
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: matter that as long as they're doing business with China

162
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: and do what China wants. They don't care if there's

163
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: serious and eventually the whole planet could be like that,

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: mass graves, interrogation, people disappear in the middle of night,

165
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: absolut freaking lily, and I just wish that the morons

166
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: of the well the United States to start there. Morons

167
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: in the United States, a lot of college kids, a

168
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: lot of college professors who think the world is bad

169
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: because of us. It makes me insane, Yeah, that they

170
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: don't have the other perspective. And then you've got the

171
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: nut job right that believes that the US is an

172
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: evil presence as well, and we need to turn to

173
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: vlad Putin or whatever else for an example of how

174
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: to run things.

175
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: Sure, madness.

176
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I think the left in terms of numbers

177
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: and influence are a thousand times bigger than the cuckoo

178
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 3: nuts on the right.

179
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 4: I just am aware of them as a man of

180
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: the right myself.

181
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: I was watching some of the chanters outside of the

182
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: jailhouse in Pennsylvania where Luigi's being held, and they are

183
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: chanting free Luigi, Free Luigi. More dead CEOs with their signs.

184
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people are into that, but

185
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: you got to round those people up and put them

186
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: in a camp in the name of individual rights. Sorry,

187
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: how does mail bag look? It's coming together. It's a

188
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: work in progress, it is, it is. Indeed, it's like

189
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: it's like the banana. It hasn't been taped to the

190
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: wall yet, but it's ready.

191
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: It's like AI. It could be a blessing, it could

192
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 4: be a disaster. We don't know.

193
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: Wow, So we got that on the way. We also

Speaker 3: radio show because I am not talking about that.

201
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: Oh no, Michael, I had an hour and a half

202
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: ready on the fiscal cliff.

203
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: That's a shame.

204
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: The fiscal cliff disappointing.

205
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: We did get this text though yesterday's OMT was one

206
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: for the record books. That'd be the one more Thing podcast,

207
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: the extra segment we cut after we get off the air.

208
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: I would like to disavow that podcast. You all had me,

209
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Actually you had me laughing out loud several times. Michael's

210
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: toes ha ha ha, that's a tease. Oh no, for

211
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: the One More Thing podcast. If you haven't checked, where

212
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: do you find arms Armstrong and Getty One more Thing?

213
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: Wherever you like to get podcasts, you ought to subscribe

214

Speaker 3: to that in Armstrong and Giddy on demand. Here's your

215
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: freedom loving quote of the day. Jeff in Hogsnaville, Tennessee

216
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: has got a great eye for a course of the day.

217
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: Ship.

218
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: This one along is from Margaret Thatcher, the great Maggie quote.

219
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: You can't make people good, kind, generous, thoughtful, or dutiful

220
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 3: by compulsion. True harmony comes from the willing cooperation of

221
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: free people. It is not served by an over rakelated society.

222
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: Oh I got something on that. Friend of ours who

223
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: works in the NBA sent me a video from the

224
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: National Anthem last night. We'll talk about that later. Oh

225
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: do tell yeah?

226
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: Uh?

227
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: Mail Bag.

228
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: You can correspond mail Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot

229
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 3: com if you'd like. Let's see first of all this

230
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: from serious numbers Jack. Here's the way I remember how

231
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: to keep the trans thing straight. Trans is a prefix

232
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: that stands for not a so a trans woman is

233
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: not a woman. Trans man is not a man. It

234
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: is kind of handy. Hmmm, uh, Canton a similar attack.

235
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: I understand Jack's confusion when trying to describe a transperson.

236
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: I have a similar struggle.

237
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: I can't remember the difference between someone who is gay

238
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: and someone who is blind. Now, which one is attracted

239
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: to someone of the same gender and which one.

240
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 4: Is unable to see? I can't remember.

241
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: Ken.

242
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: That is a very funny and obscure and old reference.

243
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 3: You have it, Michael. It's it's too good not to

244
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: It's too good. It's for Christmas. Was I give it

245
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: to us for Christmas? I think it was our clip

246
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: of the year, like ten years ago or something. We're

247
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayor, who climbed the highest

248
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay, I

249
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear

250
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: about that from me as the break. I look, which

251
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: one has the guide dog gay people?

252
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Right?

253
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: Which one is that? Being blind?

254
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

255
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: Easy?

256
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: He had to trust the line.

257
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: Somebody sent me a picture the other day currently they

258
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: saw a giant billboard that aired Eric Wyan Mayor on

259
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: it and said climbed Mount Everest. Blind. Yeah, so still

260
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: a thing I can't send. They say he's a picture

261
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: saying or gay. We're going to interview Eric Wyan, mayor

262
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: highest in the world Mount Ever.

263
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: Surprisingly he's gay.

264
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: I mean, excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear about that.

265
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: I mean, look at the six Oh my god, one

266
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: of the al timers. Wow, let's see. Moving along with mailbag.

267
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: This is from Rob. This past May, we spent a

268
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: week in Whitefish, Montana during the marathon. First thing we

269
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: noticed was the lack of bums and junkies on the street. So,

270
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: walking around town during the race, stopped to talk to

271
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: a couple of younger police officers doing street control Bubba,

272
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: I complimented them on how nice the city was mentioned

273
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: we noticed the lack of bums and junkies. Asked what

274
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: they thought the reason was. At first they said, well,

275
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: climate's part of it. One of the officers was familiar

276
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: with the Mount Shast area, and I pointed out this

277
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: similar climate and that both Mount Shasta and Wyrika have

278
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: large bum camps California place, having been there not too

279
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: long ago. Then one of them said, well, not to

280
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: sound bad, but people here are different. He's then said

281
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: that they had recently opened their first shelter, which ironically

282
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: was about to be closed due to public outcry because,

283
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: wait for it, a drastic increase in crime in the

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: area surrounding the shelter. It's as if it's not people

285
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: who are one paycheck short of making rent jack, it's

286
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: as if it's bums and junkies. Yeah. NPR had big

287
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: feature on this. They said, Montana's got the fastest scoring

288
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: homeless population in America, and cities around towns there aren't

289
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: really cities in Montana. Towns around Montana are shutting their

290
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: shelters that they were forced to open by that stupid

291
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: law for a while, shutting their shelters and there's no

292
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: place for the homeless to go. But local residents say

293
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: the shelters are actually increasing the homeless population. I thought, yes,

294
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: that's the problem. All your so called solutions, you end

295
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: up with more homeless people. We had vowed not to

296
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: use the term homeless people. That's not going well. Maybe

297
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: that'll transient drug addicts tea. That'll be our New Year's resolution.

298
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: Alnanimous rights on that topic. Just wanted to add to

299
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: the discussion of overdoses being the most common cause of

300
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: death in the workplace in California. The hospital I work

301
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: at is a few miles away from the Fremont Tesla plant.

302
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: We have multiple Tesla employees be brought in bi ambulance.

303
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: Student overdose sometimes resulting in death. Hasn't happened a while.

304
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: It used to happen at least every other months. It's

305
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: got to be like we heard yesterday, you think you're

306
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: taking a pain pill or something and you die. It

307
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: can't be getting high working on. I wouldn't think you

308
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: couldn't do agree that kind of job. We have a

309
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: lot more on the way if you know anything about it.

310
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: Texas Armstrong and Getty. That's right.

311
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 6: Christmas is almost here, which means in seven days you'll

312
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 6: be asking a gas station and attendant, can you get

313
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 6: wrapped these slim gems and put two dad on the cards.

314
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 6: I'll take one of those slingings act And this year

315
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 6: Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice Thanks to

316
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 6: those drones spying in New Jersey, everyone's in the holidays spirit.

317
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 6: President Biden has an advent calendar where each day is

318
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 6: a different mystery pill. I thought that was this one's lipator,

319
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 6: This one lipatory.

320
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: Wow, what a notch.

321
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I would say, I've got the headline

322
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: of the day from the New York Post. Would you

323
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: like to hear the headline of the day.

324
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: I've got a pretty good headline myself.

325
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: I'd like to. I'd like to. You're so proud of yours?

326
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Oh the New York Post? Oh yeah, you probably.

327
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: This is a real story. I remember when it happened,

328
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: but it's an update. Ex meth user who gouged her

329
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: own eyeballs out while high, you went, says she's happier

330
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: years after Nightmarriash episode. It's a feel good ending to

331
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: the story, but unfortunately you have to recap the story,

332
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: and the recap is brutal.

333
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

334
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: South Carolina woman high on meth who for some reason

335
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: thought seeing was causing evil things to happen in the world,

336
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: she gouged her own eyes out and squished each one

337
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: of them between her fingers.

338
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: Oh, for the love of all that is holy.

339
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: She is obviously blind, but she says she is in

340
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: a better place now and much happier, and it has

341
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: ended up being a positive in her life.

342
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: She's blind, so she's attracted other women.

343
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, you know the headline I was going

344
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 3: to offer up much more wholesome and much more amusing.

345
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 3: It pays to have long hair and a beard.

346
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: In Utah. Jesus models are in demand.

347
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: You can make a hell of a good living, especially

348
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: this time of year being a Jesus model in America's

349
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: most religious state. I don't have anything that you need

350
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: to be a Jesus model. You could be bewigged. I

351
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: could be a punctious pilot as I see him portrayed

352
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: in many shows. Oh wow, how angry faced bald guy.

353
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: More a niche act than Jesus in Utah. But anyway,

354
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: so I want to get into the following discussion with

355
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: a quick review of the recent years of Jay Badacharia's life.

356
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: Perhaps you recognize the name. He was the Stanford scientist

357
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 3: who well, we'll tell you about it. He's a very

358
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: respected scientist and epidemiologist, I think until October of twenty

359
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: twenty especially, but in it was actually March at twenty

360
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: twenty that Baticharia published. Well, he publicized his view of

361
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 3: how best to fight the pandemic, protect the vulnerable, the elderly,

362
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 3: and those with comorbidities, conduct frequent testing of nursing home

363
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: staff and visitors that would keep those folks safe for

364
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: everyone else, especially the young. The advised eliminating restrictions that

365
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: were silly, like shutting down sporting events, deeply harmful, closing

366
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: schools are economically disastrous, like lockdowns. To quote the Free Press,

367
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: they called it focused pret de and in October, doctor

368
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 3: j and his colleagues, one from Harvard who got fired

369
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: for refusing the JAB, published what was known as the

370
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: Great Barrington Declaration. What followed was a full on assault

371
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: on Batacaria's character and career. And I'm not going to

372
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 3: go through the whole thing. But Francis Collins, the head

373
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: of the National Institute's Health, wrote in an email to

374
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci that the declaration seemed to quote be getting

375
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 3: a lot of attention.

376
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: There needs to be a.

377
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: Quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. He described

378
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: Battacharian his two colleagues as fringe epidemiologists, and Bodacharia mentioned

379
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: some of my colleagues at Stanford wrote me letters basically

380
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 3: disowning me.

381
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 4: It got really nasty. Oh just you know, I'm going

382
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: to leap ahead here.

383
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: Every single damn thing they said in the Great Barrington

384
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: Declaration was one hundred percent correct. They got it exactly

385
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: right and were ruined for it. The New York Times

386
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: spoke to scientists who described Botachari as essentially a crank.

387
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci told the paper that the Great Barrington Declaration

388
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: was total nonsense. Rachel Wlenski, then an infectious disease expert

389
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: at Harvard, later the head of CDC, he said, I

390
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: think it's wrong.

391
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 4: I think it's unsafe.

392
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: I think it invites people to act in ways that

393
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: have the potential to do enormous amounts of harm. The

394
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: Guardian labeled it a product of bad science co opted

395
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: by shady ideological interests, and so on. Then act Twitter

396
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: silenced Baticharia, censored a video of a public policy roundtable

397
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: with Ron DeSantis because the Sanford scientist suggested correctly that

398
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 3: the scientific evidence from masking children was weak. So Big

399
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: tech as Facebook read it all censored, even mentioning the

400
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: Great Barrington Declaration. At the urging of the Biden administration,

401
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: I'll stop now on this because there's more, and I

402
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 3: get so freaking fired up.

403
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 4: They will write about everything for whatever reason.

404
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: Today I'm instead of being Madam frightened by something else

405
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: happening in the future, where we have a similar lack

406
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: of willingness to debate what's right now that's wrong? Well,

407
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: and exactly That's why I'm bringing this up. This sort

408
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: of thing will happen again, in one form or another. Now,

409
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: maybe it's in our lives, maybe it's not. I would

410
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 3: like very much for me and you and everybody listening

411
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: to be reminded of how wrong the authorities were and

412
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: how forceful they were in forcing you to do the

413
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: wrong thing. Arresting the ski guy at Malibu whatever you

414
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: call it, did you see? I almost said waterboarding, but

415
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: I know that's not the term. What do you call that?

416
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: The parasailing, sail gliding, surf womping.

417
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, did you see? I don't think i'd

418
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: ever seen this. So this was the same area LA

419
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: where they were. The cops are running down the beach

420
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: so they could arrest the guy who was when serving

421
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: when he came in, I mean crazy, but right there

422
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: where the big skateboard park is there on Venice Beach

423
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: where I take my son and we watch people do

424
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 3: the amazing tricks I had. I don't know if I'd

425
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: ever seen the video of the front loaders dumping sand

426
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: into the skateboard park to keep people from using it.

427
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: How insane is that to make sure kids could not

428
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: go outside and play during a disease that was your

429
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 3: biggest concern. Somebody might come skateboard outside. Well park next

430
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: to my house had yellow tape around it. It that's

431
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 3: coronavirus and you can so not if you tried so.

432
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: The COVID Seleuckt Committee has, at the end of the

433
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 3: two year investigation, issued a five hundred plus page final

434
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: report on the lessons learned in the path forward. And

435
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: I just thought it would it would be useful to

436
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: go through this fairly briefly to remind ourselves of what

437
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: it was like, because so many people want to put

438
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: it in the past. Number one COVID origin COVID nineteen

439
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: mostly emerged from a most likely emerged from a laboratory

440
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: in Wuhan, China, And they make five arguments in favor

441
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 3: of the Lablik theory, and they are they're practically ironclad.

442
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 4: I won't go into the details. I don't think we

443
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: need to.

444
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: The proximal origin publication, which was used repeatedly by public

445
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak

446
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: theory was prompted by doctor Fauci to push the preferred

447
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 3: narrative that COVID nineteen originated in nature. Why can you

448
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: conceive of a reason an American health official would push,

449
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: in the face of all reasonableness, a report that said,

450
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: no way, it was a lab leak, it had to

451
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: be in nature. Well, maybe it's he and his buddies

452
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: were financing the research, you think. Then they go into

453
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: the gain of function research and who was paying for

454
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: it in Peter Dazak and Eco health and American taxpayer

455
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 3: dollars and the rest of it. It is fully documented.

456
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: There is no question at this point that that is

457
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: care and then the NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing

458
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious

459
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: threat to both public health and national security. On to that,

460
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: the efficacy, effectiveness, and transparency of the use of taxpayer

461
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 3: funds and relief programs to address the coronavirus pandemic, including

462
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: any reports of waste, fraud or abuse COVID nineteen relief funding.

463
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: Federal and state governments had significant lapses in coordination, were

464
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: unprepared to oversee the allocation of COVID nineteen relief funds

00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: and failed to sufficiently identify waste, fraud, and abuse taxpayer

466

Speaker 3: dollars during the pandemic, and they go through the PPP

467

Speaker 3: system SBA failure small business administration at least two hundred

471
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: million dollars lost, and at least half of those taxpayer

472
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stole by

473
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 3: international fraudsters. I mean, if they're stolen by domestic criminals,

474
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: at least they'd go down to the local car that

475
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: they learned by a luxury car, and you know, help

476
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: the economy.

477
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 4: It's foreign mobsters and criminals and scumbags. It's hard to get.

478
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: It's hard to think about that period for me, and

479
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: I don't even know what that emotion exactly is. And

480
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: explains why the nineteen eighteen pandemic was kept not a

481
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: secret on purpose, just nobody discussed it for like seventy

482
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 3: five years. It's just I don't like to think about it.

483
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: It was such a dark, weird period. Even though I

484
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: didn't do much different my kids being out of school,

485
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: everything closed down the weirdness of life. It oohs me

486
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 3: out to even really like really go there. Yeah interesting now,

487
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: I who lived in a conservative county and we just

488
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 3: went on with our lives.

489
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: Mostly it wasn't quite weird.

490
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: But anyway, I want to to kids, if your kids

491
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: had been out of school, it was it was really tough. Oh,

492
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: it was really tough, senior kids not in school and

493
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 3: wondering the damage it was done every single day. That

494
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: was awful. All right, I tell you what we're gonna

495
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 3: have to I don't there's too much and I don't

496
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: want to rush through it because I am. I want

497
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: to do this because for a number of reasons. Number one,

498
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: we can be prepared for the next time, but also

499
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: because they were horrendous, horrific. Injustice is done, and like

500
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: you said, you know, like the nineteen eighteen flu, it's like,

501
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to bring anybody to justice because then

502
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: I'd have to think about it, and I just we've

503
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 3: got to resist that because they go into the who

504
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: and how it ran interference for the Chinese communists, the

505
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: social distancing, the mask mandates. The firing are active duty

506
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: service personnel who are young and healthy for not getting

507
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: the JAB, even even those who'd had it and had

508
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 3: natural immunity.

509
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 4: You can't forgive that crap.

510
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,200

534
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna read the WHO part the World Health Organization. Remember,

535
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: we'd all be better off if we let the UN

536
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: run everything. We need world global governance to bring climate

537
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: change under control. Here's the very brief summary paragraph WHO.

538
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: The who's response to the COVID nineteen pandemic was an

539
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: abject failure because it came to pressure from the Chinese

540
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its

541
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: international duties. Further, the who's newest effort to solve the

542
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: problems exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pandemic via a pandemic

543
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 3: treaty may harm the United States. That was obvious at

544
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 3: the time. Some of this stuff wasn't as obvious at

545
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: the time that one was obvious at the time because

546
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: we talked about it regularly. China was going out of

547
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: its way to stonewall anybody investigating this, and it was

548
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: all known at the time. And then remember figuring out

549
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: who with the who was from what town where China

550
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: had big contracts and all that sort of stuff. It

551
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: was obvious what was going on. Sure, yeah, social distancing

552
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: six feet apart was a guess complete. As even Fauci said,

553
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: it just sort of appeared. Mask mandates no conclusive evidence

554
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: that the mask effectively protected Americans from COVID. Nineteen public

555
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: health officials flip flopped on the efficacy of masks without

556
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust,

557
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: a massive and appropriate uptick. But think about that. You

558
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: were on a restaurant, concert venue, whatever it was. You

559
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: were limited in the number of people customers you could

560
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: have in there, so money you could make because of

561
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: the six foot rule that was completely made up. Next hour,

562
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: we're gonna kick it off with lockdowns. Fantastic Katie's headlines

563

Speaker 3: offbeat leads to dr is what it does. It's a

568
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: gateway beat. Hey, we're running late. Let's figure out who's

Speaker 7: Drones were not tracking missive missing radioactive material.

572
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: In New Jersey. Yes, you got a New Jersey mayor

573
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: saying there's missing radioactivity. Other people saying though they're not.

574
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: I mean there's way too much craziness coming out of

575
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: actual government officials. Yeah, it's and wild business insider.

576
00:32:54,760 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 7: North Korean soldiers attacked Russian forces by mistake due a

577
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 7: language barrier.

578
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that friendly fire thing. I hope they

579
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: were successful.

580

Speaker 3: variety of numb nut socialist people in the Democratic Party

586
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: to talk about later. From CNBC.

587
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 7: Walmart employees are now wearing body cameras in some stores.

588

590
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: Yes, have a record. That just makes sense. This is

591
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: the way all societies go, where you all of a

592
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: sudden have to lock up everything, even though for a

593
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: thousand years you didn't have to lock everything up, and

594
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: now you have to wear body cameras at the store.

595
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: There's nothing to be concerned about here.

596
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: We had civilisation and we gave it away. That's unfortunate.

Speaker 3: Oh my god, I suppose it makes I suppose that

600
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: makes sense. I mean, if the first question on online

601
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: dating is are you Harris or Trump? Before you even

602
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: consider dating, I suppose the neighborhood you're going to move to,

603
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: you wonder the same thing. You know, this is why

604
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: God grants you the sweet, sweet gift of mortality, The

605
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: idea that we're going to double down on all these

606
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: trends and reinforce them. Ugh, I'm checking out. No, that

607
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: is not a cry for help. I do have a

608
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: neighbor who still has their thank you Joe flag up

Speaker 3: thank you Joe for pretending not to be seen off.

611
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if he had won the if he

612
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: had stayed the candidate and won, and he'd be some

613
00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 3: drooling and all mummified. Imagine the constitutional crisis we'd be

614
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: in right now. People would need to do well with

615
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: the prostitution. That's right. The press might finally wake up

616
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: and be demanding are you going to resign? Or are

617
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 3: you going to be sworn in? Or are you going

618
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: to resign? It'd be a crisis. I want to throw

619
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: this into the running for the headline of the day.
