WEBVTT - It's Weird, Man! 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.760 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.840 George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:21.599 and Jack and he. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:35.000 Arms room from studio see sor it's. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.040 A dimly lit room, broom room deep with them to 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.400 keep bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Where 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:47.600 we've got our Hanka bingy up. Also, in addition to 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.120 the tree today, happy Honna cut everyone today, we're under 0:00:52.120 --> 0:01:00.760 the tutelage of our general manager. Sweet vindication. Okay, who's 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:06.200 getting sweet vindication for what many conservatives. I'm looking at 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.320 the list of stories and sound and everything we've gotten ready, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.360 and it includes all sorts of stuff. The fact that 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.080 Abigail Schreier, who wrote the absolutely wonderful book about the 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.400 transgender craze amongst adolescent girl's irreversible Damage, that she had 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.039 trouble getting published, had trouble getting distributed to hate mail, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.920 death threats, blah blah blah. Everything she said is one 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.000 hundred percent correct. Amazon and even the New York Times 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.880 is saying so Amazon wouldn't carry it if I remember correctly. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.040 That is absolutely correct. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.880 Yeah, I see Ted Wheeler, who some irresponsible Wags pronounced 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.320 as Ted Weazel, the mayor of Portland for many moons, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.040 now coming out and saying the Antifa things a nightmare, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.200 the violence, that the threats, the political radicalism, how they 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.840 took over legit movements, and and and his shocked that 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.960 it wasn't a bigger story, but the Eastern media ignored, 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.560 so Ted has come around. There are a list of 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.160 stories like that, America's faith in their universities something we've 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.480 been talking about for a long time. Wait till you 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.519 hear about the catastrophic drop in the perception of America's 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:19.600 universities among America. Good all the crap we've been talking about. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.320 And I realize this sounds self aggrandizing, but I think 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.320 I don't know. I think if you had any reasonable 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.440 sense of reality, you would have gotten there with us. Anyway, 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.160 All the stuff we've been talking about is one hundred 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.040 percent right. Well, I hope that matters after our alien 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.480 overlords takeover with the drone attack. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:39.680 Too much perspective. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:47.160 I just saw US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New Jersey 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.960 on TV. She's a US freaking senator who you would 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.720 think could get a lot of answers when she's calling 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.560 various people about her own state. She said, we don't 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.679 know if these drones are ours or belong to a 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.919 foreign entity. We don't know if they're a danger to 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.880 citizens or our government. We don't know anything. She just 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:16.240 said that a few minutes ago a sitting US senator. Yes, yes, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.480 she's a bit of a midwiit, as the kids say today. Uh, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.400 I don't think that's what you can't do with her, 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.400 with her, absolutely, ken, I think I can picture the 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.959 Intelligence services saying, all right, we need to briefe the Senate, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:40.200 but not you know who. That is un flipping believable. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.320 Right right, nobody knows what's going on, or nobody's letting on. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:43.960 They know what. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.480 I'm not worried, I don't think. But it's weird, man, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.960 it's weird. I'm worried on the same level that I'm 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:58.760 worried about how soft and entitled feeling we are as 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.200 a superpower. We don't understand the threat we're facing. I 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.040 don't think maybe in the you know, I would hope 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.080 the joy chiefs have an idea of it. I would 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.360 hope the White House has an idea of it. Well, 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.440 we'll probably play Joe Biden. He was asked about it 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.400 as he had the first time I've heard for Biden 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.720 in a long time, and man, he sounds old. But 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.599 we'll hear from Biden later he was asked about the drones. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.520 It's just there's well, there's a lot more legal drones 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.320 up there now, and it's then a lot of copycats. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.920 And he walked off to the So he had nothing 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.040 to say about it. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't know, though, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.280 Oh my god. But so you're going to tell me 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.680 that there's something going on that's our government that they 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.800 don't tell us senators about when they're calling saying, hey, 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.279 we got drones over our airports? What the hell? I hope? 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.080 So, yeah, I hope that's the case. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.040 Yeah, if it's seriously classified stuff that we can't let on, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.640 you're not going to tell one hundred US senators. That 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:03.600 would be crazy to do that. Crazy, crazier than maybe 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:10.520 the highest security clearances on the Homeland Security Committee or 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.320 Defense Committee or something like that. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:12.760 Maybe. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:17.000 No, that's an untenable situation where you're gonna have I 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.680 contenant Pentagon projects going on around the country and US 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.760 senators not in the know at all. But it's been 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.040 going on for weeks and people all over the country 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.559 are talking about it. I mean, the endless speculation about it. Wow, 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:38.000 that'd be crazy. Why why can't someone come out and say, look, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.080 nothing to worry about, trust me. Why can't anybody say that? Well, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.160 I guess it's what me Orkis said the other day, 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.880 but he did the weird thing with the caveat. I 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.720 don't know what they are and there's nothing to worry about, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.440 so that doesn't work. Order is secure, that's right, right. Oh, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.720 that reminds me the uh PolitiFact, which is such a 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.120 joke of an organization saying their lie of the year. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:02.920 Their political lie of the year. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.760 Was that people are eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.479 Leaving out the president is just great, and we'll serve 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.160 another term beautifully leaving that one out, and then the 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:19.120 border is secure now, I mean, come on, hilarious. Yeah, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:20.920 that is a good one. We should start the show 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.920 officially before we get trouble with the FCC. We're all 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.640 wearing sana haat and we got missilete. Everybody's kissing everybody 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:34.200 constantly around here. It's an hr nightmare. Yeah, especially because 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.200 Michael and his welcome Santa t shirt misspelled it and 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.960 says welcome Satans. Oh that he about a discomfort and 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.279 some of our are religious. He bought a cheap Chinese 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.719 knockoff Santate shirt. Tala, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.440 on this How did it already get to be? Oh? 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.360 It's a week from Christmas, Ladies and germs, December the eighteenth, Wednesday, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.640 the year twenty twenty four, warm strong and getting we 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.320 approve of this program. It's a day from my wife's birthday, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.000 and I swung in missed on a very important mission. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.320 The pressures hut. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.960 All right, here we go officially starting the show according 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.400 to FCC rules and regulations. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.039 Here we go at mark, Thanks. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:14.480 General writer, So back to the drones. Can can you 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.160 equivocally say that none of the drones that are being 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.840 spotted are d d assets. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.560 Yes, they are not dood assets, None of them are 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.000 to my knowledge. Note okay, I just clamor right the 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.440 end the best part. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.920 Play at the beginning of that audio again, would you? 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.160 Thanks? General writer? So back to the drones. Okay, So 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.160 he is a disciplined military man. When he goes, mmm, 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:50.640 that's a non military translation of oh, for God's sake, uh, 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:58.040 miss general. Back to the drones. Well, when they had 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.440 the committee meet about UFO is a while and they're 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.000 asking questions about that, was that was gronable and stupid? 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.440 This is definitely not gronable and stupid. What the hell 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.800 is flying around our airports? Right? And if it's innocent, 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.360 let's let's nail it down completely. And here's what I 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.560 shared the flesh lobably not far as I know. Uh, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.320 here's fleshing out what I was suggesting earlier about being 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.720 a flabby empire or a superpower that has no idea 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.840 of the risk organs? Do you Jack at this moment 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.080 believe if China sought to, they could shut down the 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.720 power grid in two or more American cities, right, Absolutely 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.800 they could. I agree, I agree completely. What percentage of 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.199 Americans know that? What percentage are national security apparatus is 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.240 aware of that working on it hard? I don't know, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.120 probably much more than I'm aware of. Obviously I'm not 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.360 briefed on a regular basis, but I see so many 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:52.960 signs of this, as if we're stoned, we're lotus eaters. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.520 Somebody reminded me that that's from Homer. I don't know, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.800 not Simpson, but don't I don't know lotus eaters. Yeah, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.199 it's it's a people who just set around eating this 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.200 intoxicating plant thingy and we're just dreamy and unaware and ah. Essentially, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.600 I just I feel like we're a little bit high 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.319 on our own success as a superpower, have no idea 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.719 that the barbarians are at the proverbial gate back to 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:24.319 the drugs. Yeah, I I mentioned this a lot, but 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.760 I was thinking about it watching the news coverage as 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.679 they uncovered yet another mass grave in Syria. Just I 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.720 mean horrifying what has been going on in that country 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:40.079 for over half a century. And how easily without the 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.880 United States to keep the world order, that could be 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.760 the whole planet. I mean that that is, that is 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:52.280 more likely a situation for humankind than what we've got now. Yeah, 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.719 and the United States is the main thing keeping that. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.559 China doesn't care if countries are like that. If China 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.959 becomes the dominant power on Earth and we can't stop them, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160 they don't care. If they're Syrias in the world, doesn't 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.240 matter that as long as they're doing business with China 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.920 and do what China wants. They don't care if there's 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.800 serious and eventually the whole planet could be like that, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.800 mass graves, interrogation, people disappear in the middle of night, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.040 absolut freaking lily, and I just wish that the morons 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.880 of the well the United States to start there. Morons 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.520 in the United States, a lot of college kids, a 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.280 lot of college professors who think the world is bad 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.040 because of us. It makes me insane, Yeah, that they 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.439 don't have the other perspective. And then you've got the 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.720 nut job right that believes that the US is an 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.040 evil presence as well, and we need to turn to 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.760 vlad Putin or whatever else for an example of how 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:44.440 to run things. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.040 Sure, madness. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.080 Yeah, although I think the left in terms of numbers 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.120 and influence are a thousand times bigger than the cuckoo 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:52.839 nuts on the right. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.839 I just am aware of them as a man of 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:55.480 the right myself. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.559 I was watching some of the chanters outside of the 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:04.320 jailhouse in Pennsylvania where Luigi's being held, and they are 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.280 chanting free Luigi, Free Luigi. More dead CEOs with their signs. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.439 I don't know how many people are into that, but 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.280 you got to round those people up and put them 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.679 in a camp in the name of individual rights. Sorry, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.880 how does mail bag look? It's coming together. It's a 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.760 work in progress, it is, it is. Indeed, it's like 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.000 it's like the banana. It hasn't been taped to the 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.120 wall yet, but it's ready. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.640 It's like AI. It could be a blessing, it could 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.199 be a disaster. We don't know. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.720 Wow, So we got that on the way. We also 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.439 have this a text line if you'd like to join 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.800 in anything we've already said or might say text line 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:51.080 four one, five, two nine five kftc ring ting tangle 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:55.360 and two rights.

Jeff in Hogsnaville, Tennessee 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.440 has got a great eye for a course of the day. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:43.640 Ship. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.000 This one along is from Margaret Thatcher, the great Maggie quote. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.720 You can't make people good, kind, generous, thoughtful, or dutiful 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:57.079 by compulsion. True harmony comes from the willing cooperation of 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.120 free people. It is not served by an over rakelated society. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.679 Oh I got something on that. Friend of ours who 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.880 works in the NBA sent me a video from the 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.520 National Anthem last night. We'll talk about that later. Oh 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.800 do tell yeah? 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:14.200 Uh? 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.160 Mail Bag. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.760 You can correspond mail Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.599 com if you'd like. Let's see first of all this 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.120 from serious numbers Jack. Here's the way I remember how 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.600 to keep the trans thing straight. Trans is a prefix 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.000 that stands for not a so a trans woman is 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.959 not a woman. Trans man is not a man. It 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.280 is kind of handy. Hmmm, uh, Canton a similar attack. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.600 I understand Jack's confusion when trying to describe a transperson. 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.000 I have a similar struggle. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.480 I can't remember the difference between someone who is gay 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.520 and someone who is blind. Now, which one is attracted 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.400 to someone of the same gender and which one. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.319 Is unable to see? I can't remember. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:56.960 Ken. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.400 That is a very funny and obscure and old reference. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.839 You have it, Michael. It's it's too good not to 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.319 It's too good. It's for Christmas. Was I give it 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.880 to us for Christmas? I think it was our clip 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:13.480 of the year, like ten years ago or something. We're 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.120 going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayor, who climbed the highest 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.720 mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay, I 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.760 mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.360 about that from me as the break. I look, which 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.400 one has the guide dog gay people? 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:29.680 Right? 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.120 Which one is that? Being blind? 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:34.600 Oh? 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.200 Easy? 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.200 He had to trust the line. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.200 Somebody sent me a picture the other day currently they 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.600 saw a giant billboard that aired Eric Wyan Mayor on 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.040 it and said climbed Mount Everest. Blind. Yeah, so still 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.320 a thing I can't send. They say he's a picture 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:58.560 saying or gay. We're going to interview Eric Wyan, mayor 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.360 highest in the world Mount Ever. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.320 Surprisingly he's gay. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.920 I mean, excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear about that. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.840 I mean, look at the six Oh my god, one 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:16.320 of the al timers. Wow, let's see. Moving along with mailbag. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.720 This is from Rob. This past May, we spent a 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.320 week in Whitefish, Montana during the marathon. First thing we 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.760 noticed was the lack of bums and junkies on the street. So, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.440 walking around town during the race, stopped to talk to 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.200 a couple of younger police officers doing street control Bubba, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.600 I complimented them on how nice the city was mentioned 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.640 we noticed the lack of bums and junkies. Asked what 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.680 they thought the reason was. At first they said, well, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.760 climate's part of it. One of the officers was familiar 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.640 with the Mount Shast area, and I pointed out this 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.400 similar climate and that both Mount Shasta and Wyrika have 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.520 large bum camps California place, having been there not too 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.000 long ago. Then one of them said, well, not to 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.480 sound bad, but people here are different. He's then said 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.520 that they had recently opened their first shelter, which ironically 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.880 was about to be closed due to public outcry because, 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.040 wait for it, a drastic increase in crime in the 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.600 area surrounding the shelter. It's as if it's not people 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.480 who are one paycheck short of making rent jack, it's 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.000 as if it's bums and junkies. Yeah. NPR had big 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.720 feature on this. They said, Montana's got the fastest scoring 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.840 homeless population in America, and cities around towns there aren't 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.240 really cities in Montana. Towns around Montana are shutting their 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.600 shelters that they were forced to open by that stupid 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.560 law for a while, shutting their shelters and there's no 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.080 place for the homeless to go. But local residents say 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.400 the shelters are actually increasing the homeless population. I thought, yes, 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.720 that's the problem. All your so called solutions, you end 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.840 up with more homeless people. We had vowed not to 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.120 use the term homeless people. That's not going well. Maybe 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:50.280 that'll transient drug addicts tea. That'll be our New Year's resolution. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.600 Alnanimous rights on that topic. Just wanted to add to 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.080 the discussion of overdoses being the most common cause of 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.760 death in the workplace in California. The hospital I work 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.080 at is a few miles away from the Fremont Tesla plant. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.800 We have multiple Tesla employees be brought in bi ambulance. 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.920 Student overdose sometimes resulting in death. Hasn't happened a while. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.680 It used to happen at least every other months. It's 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.200 got to be like we heard yesterday, you think you're 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.040 taking a pain pill or something and you die. It 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.480 can't be getting high working on. I wouldn't think you 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.920 couldn't do agree that kind of job. We have a 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.399 lot more on the way if you know anything about it. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.639 Texas Armstrong and Getty. That's right. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.720 Christmas is almost here, which means in seven days you'll 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.720 be asking a gas station and attendant, can you get 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.960 wrapped these slim gems and put two dad on the cards. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.520 I'll take one of those slingings act And this year 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.040 Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice Thanks to 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:48.639 those drones spying in New Jersey, everyone's in the holidays spirit. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.600 President Biden has an advent calendar where each day is 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.800 a different mystery pill. I thought that was this one's lipator, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:56.680 This one lipatory. 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.280 Wow, what a notch. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.720 Oh my god, I would say, I've got the headline 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.159 of the day from the New York Post. Would you 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:07.320 like to hear the headline of the day. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.520 I've got a pretty good headline myself. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.920 I'd like to. I'd like to. You're so proud of yours? 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.399 Go ahead, Oh the New York Post? Oh yeah, you probably. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.480 This is a real story. I remember when it happened, 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.639 but it's an update. Ex meth user who gouged her 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:30.440 own eyeballs out while high, you went, says she's happier 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:36.359 years after Nightmarriash episode. It's a feel good ending to 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.639 the story, but unfortunately you have to recap the story, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.320 and the recap is brutal. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:43.480 Wow. 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.760 South Carolina woman high on meth who for some reason 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.320 thought seeing was causing evil things to happen in the world, 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:57.280 she gouged her own eyes out and squished each one 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:58.520 of them between her fingers. 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.400 Oh, for the love of all that is holy. 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.639 She is obviously blind, but she says she is in 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.359 a better place now and much happier, and it has 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:06.840 ended up being a positive in her life. 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.200 She's blind, so she's attracted other women. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:19.879 Yeah, I'm sorry, you know the headline I was going 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.160 to offer up much more wholesome and much more amusing. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.680 It pays to have long hair and a beard. 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.920 In Utah. Jesus models are in demand. 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.720 You can make a hell of a good living, especially 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.600 this time of year being a Jesus model in America's 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.359 most religious state. I don't have anything that you need 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:45.080 to be a Jesus model. You could be bewigged. I 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.639 could be a punctious pilot as I see him portrayed 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.640 in many shows. Oh wow, how angry faced bald guy. 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.080 More a niche act than Jesus in Utah. But anyway, 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.080 so I want to get into the following discussion with 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:03.680 a quick review of the recent years of Jay Badacharia's life. 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:09.520 Perhaps you recognize the name. He was the Stanford scientist 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.719 who well, we'll tell you about it. He's a very 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:22.480 respected scientist and epidemiologist, I think until October of twenty 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.200 twenty especially, but in it was actually March at twenty 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:33.600 twenty that Baticharia published. Well, he publicized his view of 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:38.400 how best to fight the pandemic, protect the vulnerable, the elderly, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:43.360 and those with comorbidities, conduct frequent testing of nursing home 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.520 staff and visitors that would keep those folks safe for 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:50.480 everyone else, especially the young. The advised eliminating restrictions that 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.399 were silly, like shutting down sporting events, deeply harmful, closing 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:58.440 schools are economically disastrous, like lockdowns. To quote the Free Press, 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.720 they called it focused pret de and in October, doctor 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.719 j and his colleagues, one from Harvard who got fired 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.000 for refusing the JAB, published what was known as the 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.200 Great Barrington Declaration. What followed was a full on assault 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.080 on Batacaria's character and career. And I'm not going to 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.400 go through the whole thing. But Francis Collins, the head 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.760 of the National Institute's Health, wrote in an email to 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.280 Anthony Fauci that the declaration seemed to quote be getting 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:26.919 a lot of attention. 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:27.960 There needs to be a. 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.360 Quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. He described 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:38.800 Battacharian his two colleagues as fringe epidemiologists, and Bodacharia mentioned 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.399 some of my colleagues at Stanford wrote me letters basically 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:42.119 disowning me. 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:44.119 It got really nasty. Oh just you know, I'm going 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:44.840 to leap ahead here. 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.560 Every single damn thing they said in the Great Barrington 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:52.960 Declaration was one hundred percent correct. They got it exactly 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.320 right and were ruined for it. The New York Times 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.480 spoke to scientists who described Botachari as essentially a crank. 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.720 Anthony Fauci told the paper that the Great Barrington Declaration 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:07.400 was total nonsense. Rachel Wlenski, then an infectious disease expert 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.240 at Harvard, later the head of CDC, he said, I 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:10.840 think it's wrong. 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:11.719 I think it's unsafe. 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:13.280 I think it invites people to act in ways that 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.000 have the potential to do enormous amounts of harm. The 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.879 Guardian labeled it a product of bad science co opted 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:25.159 by shady ideological interests, and so on. Then act Twitter 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:30.160 silenced Baticharia, censored a video of a public policy roundtable 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.920 with Ron DeSantis because the Sanford scientist suggested correctly that 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.640 the scientific evidence from masking children was weak. So Big 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:43.639 tech as Facebook read it all censored, even mentioning the 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:47.640 Great Barrington Declaration. At the urging of the Biden administration, 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.720
