Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Jack and he.
Speaker 2: Arms room from studio see sor it's.
Speaker 3: A dimly lit room, broom room deep with them to
Speaker 3: keep bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Where
Speaker 3: we've got our Hanka bingy up. Also, in addition to
Speaker 3: the tree today, happy Honna cut everyone today, we're under
Speaker 3: the tutelage of our general manager. Sweet vindication. Okay, who's
Speaker 3: getting sweet vindication for what many conservatives. I'm looking at
Speaker 3: the list of stories and sound and everything we've gotten ready,
Speaker 3: and it includes all sorts of stuff. The fact that
Speaker 3: Abigail Schreier, who wrote the absolutely wonderful book about the
Speaker 3: transgender craze amongst adolescent girl's irreversible Damage, that she had
Speaker 3: trouble getting published, had trouble getting distributed to hate mail,
Speaker 3: death threats, blah blah blah. Everything she said is one
Speaker 3: hundred percent correct. Amazon and even the New York Times
Speaker 3: is saying so Amazon wouldn't carry it if I remember correctly.
Speaker 4: That is absolutely correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see Ted Wheeler, who some irresponsible Wags pronounced
Speaker 3: as Ted Weazel, the mayor of Portland for many moons,
Speaker 3: now coming out and saying the Antifa things a nightmare,
Speaker 3: the violence, that the threats, the political radicalism, how they
Speaker 3: took over legit movements, and and and his shocked that
Speaker 3: it wasn't a bigger story, but the Eastern media ignored,
Speaker 3: so Ted has come around. There are a list of
Speaker 3: stories like that, America's faith in their universities something we've
Speaker 3: been talking about for a long time. Wait till you
Speaker 3: hear about the catastrophic drop in the perception of America's
Speaker 3: universities among America. Good all the crap we've been talking about.
Speaker 3: And I realize this sounds self aggrandizing, but I think
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think if you had any reasonable
Speaker 3: sense of reality, you would have gotten there with us. Anyway,
Speaker 3: All the stuff we've been talking about is one hundred
Speaker 3: percent right. Well, I hope that matters after our alien
Speaker 3: overlords takeover with the drone attack.
Speaker 4: Too much perspective.
Speaker 3: I just saw US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New Jersey
Speaker 3: on TV. She's a US freaking senator who you would
Speaker 3: think could get a lot of answers when she's calling
Speaker 3: various people about her own state. She said, we don't
Speaker 3: know if these drones are ours or belong to a
Speaker 3: foreign entity. We don't know if they're a danger to
Speaker 3: citizens or our government. We don't know anything. She just
Speaker 3: said that a few minutes ago a sitting US senator. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: she's a bit of a midwiit, as the kids say today. Uh,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what you can't do with her,
Speaker 3: with her, absolutely, ken, I think I can picture the
Speaker 3: Intelligence services saying, all right, we need to briefe the Senate,
Speaker 3: but not you know who. That is un flipping believable.
Speaker 4: Right right, nobody knows what's going on, or nobody's letting on.
Speaker 4: They know what.
Speaker 3: I'm not worried, I don't think. But it's weird, man,
Speaker 3: it's weird. I'm worried on the same level that I'm
Speaker 3: worried about how soft and entitled feeling we are as
Speaker 3: a superpower. We don't understand the threat we're facing. I
Speaker 3: don't think maybe in the you know, I would hope
Speaker 3: the joy chiefs have an idea of it. I would
Speaker 3: hope the White House has an idea of it. Well,
Speaker 3: we'll probably play Joe Biden. He was asked about it
Speaker 3: as he had the first time I've heard for Biden
Speaker 3: in a long time, and man, he sounds old. But
Speaker 3: we'll hear from Biden later he was asked about the drones.
Speaker 3: It's just there's well, there's a lot more legal drones
Speaker 3: up there now, and it's then a lot of copycats.
Speaker 3: And he walked off to the So he had nothing
Speaker 3: to say about it. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't know, though,
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But so you're going to tell me
Speaker 3: that there's something going on that's our government that they
Speaker 3: don't tell us senators about when they're calling saying, hey,
Speaker 3: we got drones over our airports? What the hell? I hope?
Speaker 4: So, yeah, I hope that's the case.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's seriously classified stuff that we can't let on,
Speaker 3: you're not going to tell one hundred US senators. That
Speaker 3: would be crazy to do that. Crazy, crazier than maybe
Speaker 3: the highest security clearances on the Homeland Security Committee or
Speaker 3: Defense Committee or something like that.
Speaker 4: Maybe.
Speaker 3: No, that's an untenable situation where you're gonna have I
Speaker 3: contenant Pentagon projects going on around the country and US
Speaker 3: senators not in the know at all. But it's been
Speaker 3: going on for weeks and people all over the country
Speaker 3: are talking about it. I mean, the endless speculation about it. Wow,
Speaker 3: that'd be crazy. Why why can't someone come out and say, look,
Speaker 3: nothing to worry about, trust me. Why can't anybody say that? Well,
Speaker 3: I guess it's what me Orkis said the other day,
Speaker 3: but he did the weird thing with the caveat. I
Speaker 3: don't know what they are and there's nothing to worry about,
Speaker 3: so that doesn't work. Order is secure, that's right, right. Oh,
Speaker 3: that reminds me the uh PolitiFact, which is such a
Speaker 3: joke of an organization saying their lie of the year.
Speaker 4: Their political lie of the year.
Speaker 3: Was that people are eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 3: Leaving out the president is just great, and we'll serve
Speaker 3: another term beautifully leaving that one out, and then the
Speaker 3: border is secure now, I mean, come on, hilarious. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that is a good one. We should start the show
Speaker 3: officially before we get trouble with the FCC. We're all
Speaker 3: wearing sana haat and we got missilete. Everybody's kissing everybody
Speaker 3: constantly around here. It's an hr nightmare. Yeah, especially because
Speaker 3: Michael and his welcome Santa t shirt misspelled it and
Speaker 3: says welcome Satans. Oh that he about a discomfort and
Speaker 3: some of our are religious. He bought a cheap Chinese
Speaker 3: knockoff Santate shirt. Tala, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty
Speaker 3: on this How did it already get to be? Oh?
Speaker 3: It's a week from Christmas, Ladies and germs, December the eighteenth, Wednesday,
Speaker 3: the year twenty twenty four, warm strong and getting we
Speaker 3: approve of this program. It's a day from my wife's birthday,
Speaker 3: and I swung in missed on a very important mission.
Speaker 4: The pressures hut.
Speaker 3: All right, here we go officially starting the show according
Speaker 3: to FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 4: Here we go at mark, Thanks.
Speaker 5: General writer, So back to the drones. Can can you
Speaker 5: equivocally say that none of the drones that are being
Speaker 5: spotted are d d assets.
Speaker 3: Yes, they are not dood assets, None of them are
Speaker 3: to my knowledge. Note okay, I just clamor right the
Speaker 3: end the best part.
Speaker 4: Play at the beginning of that audio again, would you?
Speaker 3: Thanks? General writer? So back to the drones. Okay, So
Speaker 3: he is a disciplined military man. When he goes, mmm,
Speaker 3: that's a non military translation of oh, for God's sake, uh,
Speaker 3: miss general. Back to the drones. Well, when they had
Speaker 3: the committee meet about UFO is a while and they're
Speaker 3: asking questions about that, was that was gronable and stupid?
Speaker 3: This is definitely not gronable and stupid. What the hell
Speaker 3: is flying around our airports? Right? And if it's innocent,
Speaker 3: let's let's nail it down completely. And here's what I
Speaker 3: shared the flesh lobably not far as I know. Uh,
Speaker 3: here's fleshing out what I was suggesting earlier about being
Speaker 3: a flabby empire or a superpower that has no idea
Speaker 3: of the risk organs? Do you Jack at this moment
Speaker 3: believe if China sought to, they could shut down the
Speaker 3: power grid in two or more American cities, right, Absolutely
Speaker 3: they could. I agree, I agree completely. What percentage of
Speaker 3: Americans know that? What percentage are national security apparatus is
Speaker 3: aware of that working on it hard? I don't know,
Speaker 3: probably much more than I'm aware of. Obviously I'm not
Speaker 3: briefed on a regular basis, but I see so many
Speaker 3: signs of this, as if we're stoned, we're lotus eaters.
Speaker 3: Somebody reminded me that that's from Homer. I don't know,
Speaker 3: not Simpson, but don't I don't know lotus eaters. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's a people who just set around eating this
Speaker 3: intoxicating plant thingy and we're just dreamy and unaware and ah. Essentially,
Speaker 3: I just I feel like we're a little bit high
Speaker 3: on our own success as a superpower, have no idea
Speaker 3: that the barbarians are at the proverbial gate back to
Speaker 3: the drugs. Yeah, I I mentioned this a lot, but
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it watching the news coverage as
Speaker 3: they uncovered yet another mass grave in Syria. Just I
Speaker 3: mean horrifying what has been going on in that country
Speaker 3: for over half a century. And how easily without the
Speaker 3: United States to keep the world order, that could be
Speaker 3: the whole planet. I mean that that is, that is
Speaker 3: more likely a situation for humankind than what we've got now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the United States is the main thing keeping that.
Speaker 3: China doesn't care if countries are like that. If China
Speaker 3: becomes the dominant power on Earth and we can't stop them,
Speaker 3: they don't care. If they're Syrias in the world, doesn't
Speaker 3: matter that as long as they're doing business with China
Speaker 3: and do what China wants. They don't care if there's
Speaker 3: serious and eventually the whole planet could be like that,
Speaker 3: mass graves, interrogation, people disappear in the middle of night,
Speaker 3: absolut freaking lily, and I just wish that the morons
Speaker 3: of the well the United States to start there. Morons
Speaker 3: in the United States, a lot of college kids, a
Speaker 3: lot of college professors who think the world is bad
Speaker 3: because of us. It makes me insane, Yeah, that they
Speaker 3: don't have the other perspective. And then you've got the
Speaker 3: nut job right that believes that the US is an
Speaker 3: evil presence as well, and we need to turn to
Speaker 3: vlad Putin or whatever else for an example of how
Speaker 3: to run things.
Speaker 4: Sure, madness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I think the left in terms of numbers
Speaker 3: and influence are a thousand times bigger than the cuckoo
Speaker 3: nuts on the right.
Speaker 4: I just am aware of them as a man of
Speaker 4: the right myself.
Speaker 3: I was watching some of the chanters outside of the
Speaker 3: jailhouse in Pennsylvania where Luigi's being held, and they are
Speaker 3: chanting free Luigi, Free Luigi. More dead CEOs with their signs.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people are into that, but
Speaker 3: you got to round those people up and put them
Speaker 3: in a camp in the name of individual rights. Sorry,
Speaker 3: how does mail bag look? It's coming together. It's a
Speaker 3: work in progress, it is, it is. Indeed, it's like
Speaker 3: it's like the banana. It hasn't been taped to the
Speaker 3: wall yet, but it's ready.
Speaker 4: It's like AI. It could be a blessing, it could
Speaker 4: be a disaster. We don't know.
Speaker 3: Wow, So we got that on the way. We also
Speaker 3: have this a text line if you'd like to join
Speaker 3: in anything we've already said or might say text line
Speaker 3: four one, five, two nine five kftc ring ting tangle
Speaker 3: and two rights. If you want the latest on the
Speaker 3: debate over the continuing Resolution and whether or not there's
Speaker 3: going to be a government shutdown, you need a different
Speaker 3: radio show because I am not talking about that.
Speaker 4: Oh no, Michael, I had an hour and a half
Speaker 4: ready on the fiscal cliff.
Speaker 3: That's a shame.
Speaker 4: The fiscal cliff disappointing.
Speaker 3: We did get this text though yesterday's OMT was one
Speaker 3: for the record books. That'd be the one more Thing podcast,
Speaker 3: the extra segment we cut after we get off the air.
Speaker 3: I would like to disavow that podcast. You all had me,
Speaker 3: Actually you had me laughing out loud several times. Michael's
Speaker 3: toes ha ha ha, that's a tease. Oh no, for
Speaker 3: the One More Thing podcast. If you haven't checked, where
Speaker 3: do you find arms Armstrong and Getty One more Thing?
Speaker 3: Wherever you like to get podcasts, you ought to subscribe
Speaker 3: to that in Armstrong and Giddy on demand. Here's your
Speaker 3: freedom loving quote of the day. Jeff in Hogsnaville, Tennessee
Speaker 3: has got a great eye for a course of the day.
Speaker 2: Ship.
Speaker 4: This one along is from Margaret Thatcher, the great Maggie quote.
Speaker 3: You can't make people good, kind, generous, thoughtful, or dutiful
Speaker 3: by compulsion. True harmony comes from the willing cooperation of
Speaker 3: free people. It is not served by an over rakelated society.
Speaker 3: Oh I got something on that. Friend of ours who
Speaker 3: works in the NBA sent me a video from the
Speaker 3: National Anthem last night. We'll talk about that later. Oh
Speaker 3: do tell yeah?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: Mail Bag.
Speaker 3: You can correspond mail Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot
Speaker 3: com if you'd like. Let's see first of all this
Speaker 3: from serious numbers Jack. Here's the way I remember how
Speaker 3: to keep the trans thing straight. Trans is a prefix
Speaker 3: that stands for not a so a trans woman is
Speaker 3: not a woman. Trans man is not a man. It
Speaker 3: is kind of handy. Hmmm, uh, Canton a similar attack.
Speaker 3: I understand Jack's confusion when trying to describe a transperson.
Speaker 4: I have a similar struggle.
Speaker 3: I can't remember the difference between someone who is gay
Speaker 3: and someone who is blind. Now, which one is attracted
Speaker 3: to someone of the same gender and which one.
Speaker 4: Is unable to see? I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Ken.
Speaker 4: That is a very funny and obscure and old reference.
Speaker 3: You have it, Michael. It's it's too good not to
Speaker 3: It's too good. It's for Christmas. Was I give it
Speaker 3: to us for Christmas? I think it was our clip
Speaker 3: of the year, like ten years ago or something. We're
Speaker 3: going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayor, who climbed the highest
Speaker 3: mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay, I
Speaker 3: mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear
Speaker 3: about that from me as the break. I look, which
Speaker 3: one has the guide dog gay people?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Which one is that? Being blind?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Easy?
Speaker 4: He had to trust the line.
Speaker 3: Somebody sent me a picture the other day currently they
Speaker 3: saw a giant billboard that aired Eric Wyan Mayor on
Speaker 3: it and said climbed Mount Everest. Blind. Yeah, so still
Speaker 3: a thing I can't send. They say he's a picture
Speaker 3: saying or gay. We're going to interview Eric Wyan, mayor
Speaker 3: highest in the world Mount Ever.
Speaker 4: Surprisingly he's gay.
Speaker 3: I mean, excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear about that.
Speaker 3: I mean, look at the six Oh my god, one
Speaker 3: of the al timers. Wow, let's see. Moving along with mailbag.
Speaker 3: This is from Rob. This past May, we spent a
Speaker 3: week in Whitefish, Montana during the marathon. First thing we
Speaker 3: noticed was the lack of bums and junkies on the street. So,
Speaker 3: walking around town during the race, stopped to talk to
Speaker 3: a couple of younger police officers doing street control Bubba,
Speaker 3: I complimented them on how nice the city was mentioned
Speaker 3: we noticed the lack of bums and junkies. Asked what
Speaker 3: they thought the reason was. At first they said, well,
Speaker 3: climate's part of it. One of the officers was familiar
Speaker 3: with the Mount Shast area, and I pointed out this
Speaker 3: similar climate and that both Mount Shasta and Wyrika have
Speaker 3: large bum camps California place, having been there not too
Speaker 3: long ago. Then one of them said, well, not to
Speaker 3: sound bad, but people here are different. He's then said
Speaker 3: that they had recently opened their first shelter, which ironically
Speaker 3: was about to be closed due to public outcry because,
Speaker 3: wait for it, a drastic increase in crime in the
Speaker 3: area surrounding the shelter. It's as if it's not people
Speaker 3: who are one paycheck short of making rent jack, it's
Speaker 3: as if it's bums and junkies. Yeah. NPR had big
Speaker 3: feature on this. They said, Montana's got the fastest scoring
Speaker 3: homeless population in America, and cities around towns there aren't
Speaker 3: really cities in Montana. Towns around Montana are shutting their
Speaker 3: shelters that they were forced to open by that stupid
Speaker 3: law for a while, shutting their shelters and there's no
Speaker 3: place for the homeless to go. But local residents say
Speaker 3: the shelters are actually increasing the homeless population. I thought, yes,
Speaker 3: that's the problem. All your so called solutions, you end
Speaker 3: up with more homeless people. We had vowed not to
Speaker 3: use the term homeless people. That's not going well. Maybe
Speaker 3: that'll transient drug addicts tea. That'll be our New Year's resolution.
Speaker 3: Alnanimous rights on that topic. Just wanted to add to
Speaker 3: the discussion of overdoses being the most common cause of
Speaker 3: death in the workplace in California. The hospital I work
Speaker 3: at is a few miles away from the Fremont Tesla plant.
Speaker 3: We have multiple Tesla employees be brought in bi ambulance.
Speaker 3: Student overdose sometimes resulting in death. Hasn't happened a while.
Speaker 3: It used to happen at least every other months. It's
Speaker 3: got to be like we heard yesterday, you think you're
Speaker 3: taking a pain pill or something and you die. It
Speaker 3: can't be getting high working on. I wouldn't think you
Speaker 3: couldn't do agree that kind of job. We have a
Speaker 3: lot more on the way if you know anything about it.
Speaker 3: Texas Armstrong and Getty. That's right.
Speaker 6: Christmas is almost here, which means in seven days you'll
Speaker 6: be asking a gas station and attendant, can you get
Speaker 6: wrapped these slim gems and put two dad on the cards.
Speaker 6: I'll take one of those slingings act And this year
Speaker 6: Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice Thanks to
Speaker 6: those drones spying in New Jersey, everyone's in the holidays spirit.
Speaker 6: President Biden has an advent calendar where each day is
Speaker 6: a different mystery pill. I thought that was this one's lipator,
Speaker 6: This one lipatory.
Speaker 4: Wow, what a notch.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I would say, I've got the headline
Speaker 3: of the day from the New York Post. Would you
Speaker 3: like to hear the headline of the day.
Speaker 4: I've got a pretty good headline myself.
Speaker 3: I'd like to. I'd like to. You're so proud of yours?
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Oh the New York Post? Oh yeah, you probably.
Speaker 3: This is a real story. I remember when it happened,
Speaker 3: but it's an update. Ex meth user who gouged her
Speaker 3: own eyeballs out while high, you went, says she's happier
Speaker 3: years after Nightmarriash episode. It's a feel good ending to
Speaker 3: the story, but unfortunately you have to recap the story,
Speaker 3: and the recap is brutal.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: South Carolina woman high on meth who for some reason
Speaker 3: thought seeing was causing evil things to happen in the world,
Speaker 3: she gouged her own eyes out and squished each one
Speaker 3: of them between her fingers.
Speaker 4: Oh, for the love of all that is holy.
Speaker 3: She is obviously blind, but she says she is in
Speaker 3: a better place now and much happier, and it has
Speaker 3: ended up being a positive in her life.
Speaker 4: She's blind, so she's attracted other women.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, you know the headline I was going
Speaker 3: to offer up much more wholesome and much more amusing.
Speaker 3: It pays to have long hair and a beard.
Speaker 4: In Utah. Jesus models are in demand.
Speaker 3: You can make a hell of a good living, especially
Speaker 3: this time of year being a Jesus model in America's
Speaker 3: most religious state. I don't have anything that you need
Speaker 3: to be a Jesus model. You could be bewigged. I
Speaker 3: could be a punctious pilot as I see him portrayed
Speaker 3: in many shows. Oh wow, how angry faced bald guy.
Speaker 3: More a niche act than Jesus in Utah. But anyway,
Speaker 3: so I want to get into the following discussion with
Speaker 3: a quick review of the recent years of Jay Badacharia's life.
Speaker 3: Perhaps you recognize the name. He was the Stanford scientist
Speaker 3: who well, we'll tell you about it. He's a very
Speaker 3: respected scientist and epidemiologist, I think until October of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty especially, but in it was actually March at twenty
Speaker 3: twenty that Baticharia published. Well, he publicized his view of
Speaker 3: how best to fight the pandemic, protect the vulnerable, the elderly,
Speaker 3: and those with comorbidities, conduct frequent testing of nursing home
Speaker 3: staff and visitors that would keep those folks safe for
Speaker 3: everyone else, especially the young. The advised eliminating restrictions that
Speaker 3: were silly, like shutting down sporting events, deeply harmful, closing
Speaker 3: schools are economically disastrous, like lockdowns. To quote the Free Press,
Speaker 3: they called it focused pret de and in October, doctor
Speaker 3: j and his colleagues, one from Harvard who got fired
Speaker 3: for refusing the JAB, published what was known as the
Speaker 3: Great Barrington Declaration. What followed was a full on assault
Speaker 3: on Batacaria's character and career. And I'm not going to
Speaker 3: go through the whole thing. But Francis Collins, the head
Speaker 3: of the National Institute's Health, wrote in an email to
Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci that the declaration seemed to quote be getting
Speaker 3: a lot of attention.
Speaker 4: There needs to be a.
Speaker 3: Quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. He described
Speaker 3: Battacharian his two colleagues as fringe epidemiologists, and Bodacharia mentioned
Speaker 3: some of my colleagues at Stanford wrote me letters basically
Speaker 3: disowning me.
Speaker 4: It got really nasty. Oh just you know, I'm going
Speaker 4: to leap ahead here.
Speaker 3: Every single damn thing they said in the Great Barrington
Speaker 3: Declaration was one hundred percent correct. They got it exactly
Speaker 3: right and were ruined for it. The New York Times
Speaker 3: spoke to scientists who described Botachari as essentially a crank.
Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci told the paper that the Great Barrington Declaration
Speaker 3: was total nonsense. Rachel Wlenski, then an infectious disease expert
Speaker 3: at Harvard, later the head of CDC, he said, I
Speaker 3: think it's wrong.
Speaker 4: I think it's unsafe.
Speaker 3: I think it invites people to act in ways that
Speaker 3: have the potential to do enormous amounts of harm. The
Speaker 3: Guardian labeled it a product of bad science co opted
Speaker 3: by shady ideological interests, and so on. Then act Twitter
Speaker 3: silenced Baticharia, censored a video of a public policy roundtable
Speaker 3: with Ron DeSantis because the Sanford scientist suggested correctly that
Speaker 3: the scientific evidence from masking children was weak. So Big
Speaker 3: tech as Facebook read it all censored, even mentioning the
Speaker 3: Great Barrington Declaration. At the urging of the Biden administration,
Speaker 3: I'll stop now on this because there's more, and I
Speaker 3: get so freaking fired up.
Speaker 4: They will write about everything for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: Today I'm instead of being Madam frightened by something else
Speaker 3: happening in the future, where we have a similar lack
Speaker 3: of willingness to debate what's right now that's wrong? Well,
Speaker 3: and exactly That's why I'm bringing this up. This sort
Speaker 3: of thing will happen again, in one form or another. Now,
Speaker 3: maybe it's in our lives, maybe it's not. I would
Speaker 3: like very much for me and you and everybody listening
Speaker 3: to be reminded of how wrong the authorities were and
Speaker 3: how forceful they were in forcing you to do the
Speaker 3: wrong thing. Arresting the ski guy at Malibu whatever you
Speaker 3: call it, did you see? I almost said waterboarding, but
Speaker 3: I know that's not the term. What do you call that?
Speaker 4: The parasailing, sail gliding, surf womping.
Speaker 3: I don't know, did you see? I don't think i'd
Speaker 3: ever seen this. So this was the same area LA
Speaker 3: where they were. The cops are running down the beach
Speaker 3: so they could arrest the guy who was when serving
Speaker 3: when he came in, I mean crazy, but right there
Speaker 3: where the big skateboard park is there on Venice Beach
Speaker 3: where I take my son and we watch people do
Speaker 3: the amazing tricks I had. I don't know if I'd
Speaker 3: ever seen the video of the front loaders dumping sand
Speaker 3: into the skateboard park to keep people from using it.
Speaker 3: How insane is that to make sure kids could not
Speaker 3: go outside and play during a disease that was your
Speaker 3: biggest concern. Somebody might come skateboard outside. Well park next
Speaker 3: to my house had yellow tape around it. It that's
Speaker 3: coronavirus and you can so not if you tried so.
Speaker 3: The COVID Seleuckt Committee has, at the end of the
Speaker 3: two year investigation, issued a five hundred plus page final
Speaker 3: report on the lessons learned in the path forward. And
Speaker 3: I just thought it would it would be useful to
Speaker 3: go through this fairly briefly to remind ourselves of what
Speaker 3: it was like, because so many people want to put
Speaker 3: it in the past. Number one COVID origin COVID nineteen
Speaker 3: mostly emerged from a most likely emerged from a laboratory
Speaker 3: in Wuhan, China, And they make five arguments in favor
Speaker 3: of the Lablik theory, and they are they're practically ironclad.
Speaker 4: I won't go into the details. I don't think we
Speaker 4: need to.
Speaker 3: The proximal origin publication, which was used repeatedly by public
Speaker 3: health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak
Speaker 3: theory was prompted by doctor Fauci to push the preferred
Speaker 3: narrative that COVID nineteen originated in nature. Why can you
Speaker 3: conceive of a reason an American health official would push,
Speaker 3: in the face of all reasonableness, a report that said,
Speaker 3: no way, it was a lab leak, it had to
Speaker 3: be in nature. Well, maybe it's he and his buddies
Speaker 3: were financing the research, you think. Then they go into
Speaker 3: the gain of function research and who was paying for
Speaker 3: it in Peter Dazak and Eco health and American taxpayer
Speaker 3: dollars and the rest of it. It is fully documented.
Speaker 3: There is no question at this point that that is
Speaker 3: care and then the NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing
Speaker 3: potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious
Speaker 3: threat to both public health and national security. On to that,
Speaker 3: the efficacy, effectiveness, and transparency of the use of taxpayer
Speaker 3: funds and relief programs to address the coronavirus pandemic, including
Speaker 3: any reports of waste, fraud or abuse COVID nineteen relief funding.
Speaker 3: Federal and state governments had significant lapses in coordination, were
Speaker 3: unprepared to oversee the allocation of COVID nineteen relief funds
Speaker 3: and failed to sufficiently identify waste, fraud, and abuse taxpayer
Speaker 3: dollars during the pandemic, and they go through the PPP
Speaker 3: program at least sixty four billion dollars of theft, the
Speaker 3: fraudulent unemployment claims at least one hundred and ninety one
Speaker 3: billion dollars by taking advantage to the federal government's unemployment
Speaker 3: system SBA failure small business administration at least two hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars lost, and at least half of those taxpayer
Speaker 3: dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stole by
Speaker 3: international fraudsters. I mean, if they're stolen by domestic criminals,
Speaker 3: at least they'd go down to the local car that
Speaker 3: they learned by a luxury car, and you know, help
Speaker 3: the economy.
Speaker 4: It's foreign mobsters and criminals and scumbags. It's hard to get.
Speaker 3: It's hard to think about that period for me, and
Speaker 3: I don't even know what that emotion exactly is. And
Speaker 3: explains why the nineteen eighteen pandemic was kept not a
Speaker 3: secret on purpose, just nobody discussed it for like seventy
Speaker 3: five years. It's just I don't like to think about it.
Speaker 3: It was such a dark, weird period. Even though I
Speaker 3: didn't do much different my kids being out of school,
Speaker 3: everything closed down the weirdness of life. It oohs me
Speaker 3: out to even really like really go there. Yeah interesting now,
Speaker 3: I who lived in a conservative county and we just
Speaker 3: went on with our lives.
Speaker 4: Mostly it wasn't quite weird.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I want to to kids, if your kids
Speaker 3: had been out of school, it was it was really tough. Oh,
Speaker 3: it was really tough, senior kids not in school and
Speaker 3: wondering the damage it was done every single day. That
Speaker 3: was awful. All right, I tell you what we're gonna
Speaker 3: have to I don't there's too much and I don't
Speaker 3: want to rush through it because I am. I want
Speaker 3: to do this because for a number of reasons. Number one,
Speaker 3: we can be prepared for the next time, but also
Speaker 3: because they were horrendous, horrific. Injustice is done, and like
Speaker 3: you said, you know, like the nineteen eighteen flu, it's like,
Speaker 3: I don't want to bring anybody to justice because then
Speaker 3: I'd have to think about it, and I just we've
Speaker 3: got to resist that because they go into the who
Speaker 3: and how it ran interference for the Chinese communists, the
Speaker 3: social distancing, the mask mandates. The firing are active duty
Speaker 3: service personnel who are young and healthy for not getting
Speaker 3: the JAB, even even those who'd had it and had
Speaker 3: natural immunity.
Speaker 4: You can't forgive that crap.
Speaker 3: That's insane, all.
Speaker 4: Right, quick word from our friends at Omaha Steaks. Don't

Speaker 3: dot com and use that promo code Armstrong. You Now,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna read the WHO part the World Health Organization. Remember,
Speaker 3: we'd all be better off if we let the UN
Speaker 3: run everything. We need world global governance to bring climate
Speaker 3: change under control. Here's the very brief summary paragraph WHO.
Speaker 3: The who's response to the COVID nineteen pandemic was an
Speaker 3: abject failure because it came to pressure from the Chinese
Speaker 3: Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its
Speaker 3: international duties. Further, the who's newest effort to solve the
Speaker 3: problems exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pandemic via a pandemic
Speaker 3: treaty may harm the United States. That was obvious at
Speaker 3: the time. Some of this stuff wasn't as obvious at
Speaker 3: the time that one was obvious at the time because
Speaker 3: we talked about it regularly. China was going out of
Speaker 3: its way to stonewall anybody investigating this, and it was
Speaker 3: all known at the time. And then remember figuring out
Speaker 3: who with the who was from what town where China
Speaker 3: had big contracts and all that sort of stuff. It
Speaker 3: was obvious what was going on. Sure, yeah, social distancing
Speaker 3: six feet apart was a guess complete. As even Fauci said,
Speaker 3: it just sort of appeared. Mask mandates no conclusive evidence
Speaker 3: that the mask effectively protected Americans from COVID. Nineteen public
Speaker 3: health officials flip flopped on the efficacy of masks without
Speaker 3: providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust,
Speaker 3: a massive and appropriate uptick. But think about that. You
Speaker 3: were on a restaurant, concert venue, whatever it was. You
Speaker 3: were limited in the number of people customers you could
Speaker 3: have in there, so money you could make because of
Speaker 3: the six foot rule that was completely made up. Next hour,
Speaker 3: we're gonna kick it off with lockdowns. Fantastic Katie's headlines

Speaker 3: drooling and all mummified. Imagine the constitutional crisis we'd be
Speaker 3: in right now. People would need to do well with
Speaker 3: the prostitution. That's right. The press might finally wake up
Speaker 3: and be demanding are you going to resign? Or are
Speaker 3: you going to be sworn in? Or are you going
Speaker 3: to resign? It'd be a crisis. I want to throw
Speaker 3: this into the running for the headline of the day.
