WEBVTT - I Stepped On The Scale & Got Punched In The Face 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:15.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.919 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:36.440 Jetty Enough he Armsronget Lie from studio scene. Oh my gosh, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.320 we're in a dimly lit room deep with from the 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:43.040 bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Today Tuesday, 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.479 we're under the tutelage of our general manager. 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.240 The pardon herd around the world. Oh are you telling 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.680 me there's still reverberations? 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:56.840 Oh please, it's server verberating like a crazy server vibrator. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.200 I almost went with the real Joe Biden because his 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.640 latest episode is completely typical of Joe Biden. The idea 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.480 that it's a shock, it's a surprise old Scranton show 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:15.280 that was an entirely media created the fake image. So 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.000 how you doing. Welcome to the show. We have the 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.160 news of the rage. Thanks for outraged, I tell you, 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:22.760 as you can hear from the sound of Joe's voice, 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:27.120 he is outraged. I uh stepped on the scale and 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.040 got punched in the face again. The struggle is real. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.600 So that will continue to be a big part of 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:36.800 my life view that there is more to me to love. Yes, 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:44.640 the struggle against the real colonial oppressor gravity. Yeah. Yeah. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.000 And I just heard this as I walked in the door. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.400 I was very happy to hear this. Sometimes the government 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.960 does things, I like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, whatever 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.840 that is. I'm sure they have a budget of eighteen 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.600 trillion dollars is I'm like, uh, we're gonna get new 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.680 rules in the United States for the way they share 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:06.840 your data. Finally, and it should really really put a 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.519 dent in the every time you buy something, it means 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.080 they sell all your data and now you get texts 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.680 and emails from fifty different companies you've never done business with. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:20.840 That'd be like an account of each and every datum. Personally, 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.760 is that that's the singular of data, right datum? Don't 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:30.320 ask me. I et latino. I don't speak that. I 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.120 don't know that sounds fantastic, but I would love if 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.000 that happened. And the other news story I saw just 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.480 as I was walking through the door. Did you see 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.440 sixty minutes on Sunday night? I did not, Oh man. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.480 The first story about Notre Dame was really good because 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.000 they've unveiled the remaking of the cathedral there in part 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:52.680 oh after that horrible fire years ago two thousand. Artisans 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.760 who like still have the old timey specialty of certain 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.040 kinds of woodworking and metal forging and stuff like that 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.440 at you know, like kind of people you see at 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.160 the Fair of blacksmith that sort of sure still has 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.519 those skills doing stuff in the old timey way, and 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.040 they real beat the whole thing and it looks absolutely amazing. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.200 It's good to go for many many more centuries now. Yeah. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.040 I saw Twitter thread on it the other day, and 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.960 I agree it was astounding. Unfortunately, those old timey craftsmen 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.960 will be boring friends and relatives with the tales of 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.000 their grade moment for the rest of their natural lives. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.400 Finally, somebody wanted my skill. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.160 The phone rang. Do you know who it was? It was? Yeah, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.640 it was the Assistant Minister of Antiquities. You've told me 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.840 the story like five times. It was the Assistant Minister 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:45.240 of Antiquities, and he said, we need an ivery smith. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.800 Oh my god. Ah. I I laying in bed last 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.680 night watching John Stewart on The Daily Show, Tara part 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.480 Joe Biden for that pardoner you're still outraged about. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.760 It was really good stuff. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.160 It was mostly visual Unfortunately we can't play it on 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.120 the air because it was just so much visually. But 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.400 it was really really good and it was uh, it 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.800 was what most of America is feeling about. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.960 The whole thing is just Okay, we get it. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.800 So you're rich and powerful, you get to do things, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.200 you get to you get to complain about all this stuff, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.120 but it happens to you. You have to get around 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.800 the world, and you lied for years about I'm not 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.200 gonna pardon my son, and then you do just al whatever. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.800 And now people are coming out and saying, yeah, we 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.400 had a meeting about it, and we said we're gonna 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.120 claim he's not going to, but then he's going to, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.320 and don't don't be a little KJP continues to deny. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.400 This is as you're you know, indicating this is one 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.840 of those news stories that does not confuse or distort 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.640 or cloud people's understanding. This is clarity, folks, This is 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.279 the way it really is. Fox and Friends was saying 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.000 KJP should have resigned yesterday and said, I'm not going 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.000 out there and defending this. I went out there. I've 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.440 actually got the list. Put out the list yesterday somebody 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:07.479 did of all the dates that Joe Biden. Oh yeah, 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:14.360 said The Hill, which is a liberal newspaper website, put 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.400 out all the dates that they officially made the statement 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.360 that Joe Biden wouldn't pardon Hunter. And it's a lot 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.560 of them and KGP should have resigned and said you can't, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.320 you can't. I can't. I went out there fifteen times 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.080 with my own mouth and said you weren't gonna Borro, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.600 and now I can't go out there and explain why 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.320 all of a sudden you're changing your mind unless you're 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.159 gonna give me something better to say. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:40.160 That would have been an honorable thing to do, I think. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:46.520 And but you know, well, if your boss repeatedly makes 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.760 you look like a jackass, the only reason you don't 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.600 resign is because you are indeed a jackass, And so 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.480 why would you John Stuart plag maybe we had this 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.960 clip yesterday, but it was one when Joe Biden was 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.240 asked by David Muir on ABC News. He was more 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.719 specific and because David Muir said, have you made a decision, 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.920 and he said, yes, I have, and I'm not going 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.600 to pardon my son. So he specifically said, you know, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.880 I've thought it over, made the decision and this is 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.760 what I've decided, right right well, And you know, there's 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.400 part of me that feels like there's no point in 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.520 trying to point out the dishonesty of it and squaring 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.920 his statements with the result. But it's probably worth going 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.400 through at least a little bit in that he said 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.799 he made the decision and then apparently he changed his mind, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.600 But he didn't say, Look, I changed my mind out 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.240 of an outpouring of love for my son, and I 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.560 know people won't disapprove. No, he he strung together this 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:49.400 utterly ridiculous, condemned on all sides, just unforgivably fanciful account 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.480 of how his own justice department singled out his boy 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.520 and because of the pressure of the Republicans that persecuted him. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.479 They how did him like I get escaped convict. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.040 When everybody but he knows it was exactly the opposite. 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.600 You've got iris whistleblowers coming out and saying and risking 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.320 their entire lives and careers, saying, Hey, this guy committed 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.320 all sorts of crimes and we're letting them get away 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.880 with it. What's happening here? Yes, Brenton, Joe, die or 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.600 resign or go away? Yeah, Sir. John Stewart on The 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.200 Daily Show had a different point about that, but I 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:22.800 think that will be in our opening clips. So let's 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.880 start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.880 on this It is Tuesday, December third, there, twenty twenty four. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.880 Life will not be a born twenty four. It certainly hasn't. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.720 And we are Armstrong, You Getti. We approved of this program. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.960 All right, let's begin then officially according to f SEC 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.680 rules of regulations, here we go at Mark Shaid, I 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.080 ad buy by the jury decision. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.120 I'll do that and I'll not. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.320 Partner, letting the world know that he will not wipe 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.080 away the decision of twelve of his son's peers. Was 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.520 asked directly, and he has said he wouldn't pardon his 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.560 son if he gets convicted. Let's see what happens if 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.800 he loveses. Yeah, but I mean, but he said it. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.440 He's going to get pardoned by his dad. There's no 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.440 question about that. The President has ruled out pardoning his son. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.040 Major commitment from the President accepting the outcome of the 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:14.680 trial and also pledging not to pardon his son. We 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:20.720 are nine minutes of talking heads and commentators saying, this 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.400 man has made it clear that he's not going to 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.360 this question should stop coming. He's a man of honor, 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.880 he's old Scranton Joe. Well. The thing John Stewart is 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.280 most outraged about. He had a montage of Democrats during 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:38.320 the campaign talking about the difference between Democrats and Republicans. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.960 We believe the courts, we accept the results. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.800 Even our president with his own son, has said he 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.040 will accept the results and will not pardon him because 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.960 we believe in the And John Stewart's thing was, Okay, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:50.719 you're a dad, you decide to partner your kid. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.480 Lots of us would have done that. We can all 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:53.240 understand that. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.160 But you sent all those people out there to say 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.280 this when you were planning to do this all along. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.200 That not good at all. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.240 No, they're they're liars. They are lying liars. They have 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.280 no principles. All they do they use principles as weapons. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.200 They don't actually own those principles. They don't internalize them. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920 They put them on and take them off like a jacket. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:20.920 Then go, yeah, we talked about the tax stuff yesterday, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.000 so you're the party of when will the rich pay 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.720 their fair share? And then here's a rich guy who 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.720 wasn't paying anything, let alone his fair share, and feloniously 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.360 lying about it and covering it up. Yes, but the 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:39.280 gun part, I was watching zoom thing with Spicer, Trump's 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.920 former White House spokesperson say it. The Democrats are done. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.560 They can't ever talk about guns again. They're always talking 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.920 about background checks and registration and wanting more registration. Here 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.440 and there you got Hunter Biden who didn't register, lied 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.800 on registration, took the gun through it and threw it 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.120 in the bushes near a school, right and you're gonna 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.600 and he gets off, and combine, please, with coast to coast, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:06.199 you have Democrat das who refuse to add gun enhancements 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.000 to prosecutions. For instance, they refuse to prosecute people for 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.480 gun offenses at all if those people happen to be 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.199 more tan than me. So please quit with your phony, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.640 phony principles. So mostly, of course it all gets covered 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.520 as one side's up, one sides down, our side against 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.360 your side. This makes you look bad, blah blah blah. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:32.040 But sure, ultimately the thirty thousand foot view, which bothers me, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.960 is just more cynicism, just more nobody believes anything, nobody 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.360 trusts any of it, nobody takes any of it seriously. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.199 That is not good. That is not good. As we 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.120 reach I don't know. I thought we have reached peak 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.120 cynicism many times, but we keep going further. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:50.760 How would you blame us? 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.840 How would you blame us for feeling this way? We 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.960 the public? You know, I wish I had the AI 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.439 at work. I could do you a quick illustration in 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.360 Twitter so you can see what I'm thinking, what I 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.439 see in my mind. But what I'm seeing is a 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.920 big field. It's like a spectrum of naivete. And then 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:12.040 over here there's bitter cynicism, a big it's probably dark purple. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.480 But right there in the middle is like a narrow 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:24.559 band of realism. Somewhere between delusional naivete and being scammed 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.400 by these politicians ridiculous promises and then being so pissed 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.520 off you can't you don't even care anymore. Somewhere is 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:36.959 the sweet spot of being skeptical yet caring. That's what 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.920 I would like to lead you all to. Somehow I 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.720 will fail at this, but it keeps me busy during 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.440 the day. Yeah, they don't make it easy. Gives me 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.760 off those streets how about Trump saying, and then we'll 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.200 take our break. How about Trump saying to Trudeau yesterday 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.400 Trudeau was saying, our economy would collapse, Our economy would 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 collapse with those tarraffs, and Trump says, you can't survive 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.400 with those with those tariffs. Well, then why don't you 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.720 become our fifty first state and you can be the governor? 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:10.600 Hilarious and and Trudeau laughed uneasily. What I'm to say 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.280 to a foreign leader? Anyway? 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.600 How does mailbag look? It's it's quite good. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.719 Let's get to it text line four one, five, two 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:23.960 nine five k FTZ players. By the way, we'll get 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.600 back to it later in the show. But there is 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:31.240 some reporting and a couple of different news places about 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.719 how the pardon decision was made and how Jill was 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.200 pushing it and how they came to that conclusion over 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:41.560 Thanksgiving and everything. And we'll talk about that later. Just 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.400 as long as the Biden family's out of politics and gone, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:49.240 please go away, go away, mummy. Here's your freedom loving 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:54.760 quote of the day. It's from Jay William Fulbright. Perhaps 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.960 you've heard of him. The Scholarship, et cetera. Continuing our 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:03.080 series on law is the essential foundation of stability and order, 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:08.920 both within societies and in international relations. I would point 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:14.480 out that a society or in international relationship, if you 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:19.239 have no sanctions that will be enforced and are sufficient 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.679 to discourage the undesired behavior, then you don't have law. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.040 International law is mostly a joke, and I would argue 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:35.520 that the postmodernist, neo Marxist Democratic Party has turned domestic 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.400 lawn into a bit of a joke too. But we'll 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.520 see whether Donald Jay and his troops can overcome that mailbag. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:47.720 You who Matthew, Idaho farmhand right? Oh, it's mail bag 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.640 at Armstrong in getty dot com. Drop us a note 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.040 sometimes continue, good to have you back. You're missed, but 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.520 it's great to have the refreshed perspective and added verve 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.880 that you bring back from vacation. All the verve I'm 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.199 afraid of underver But anyway, thank you. He's gonna remind 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.680 me to bet on politics because I predict these things, 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.480 and I never lay any money down because I just 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.120 don't think of it. But anyway, and then he says, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.480 on the rush of gay marriages and preparations for Trump's 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:20.640 certain crackdown, it reminds me reminds one of Obama's on sets, 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.960 A certain crowd rushed to by firearms dead off is 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.760 his expected dismantling of the Second Amendment. Come on, American, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.200 why must we veer from guardrail to guardrail? Steady? Now? 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.280 Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's true. Here's a certain personality 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:41.840 that enjoys the crisis. Oh absolutely, yeah. Yeah, to get 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.920 fired up, to be afraid, to be under threat, to 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.760 join together to fight the evil to it's a good feeling. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.520 I think it's part of us as human beings. You 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:53.560 just gotta be careful where you direct it. Anyway. One 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.320 of my favorite notes of the day and the week 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.200 probably from Mary in the Hoe more than guys on 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.040 the We agree thankfully that the Black Friday craze seems 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.720 to be over, but for some reason, people are still 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.320 looking back all wistfully on that nonsense like it was 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.240 awesome and being all remember when we'd wake up super 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.760 early and it would be pitch black and crowded and freezing. Ma'am, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.000 you're describing being a coal miner in eighteen thirty six. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.760 Resist me much, Mary in the Hoe. Thank you, Mary, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.600 that's very funny. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:25.800 Uh. 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.920 Eric in Beautiful Astoria Oregon, guys, on your excellent program Monday, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.040 in vote to General Che's Chicken in the same vein 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.960 as the Chinese Communist Party. I'm sorry the Chinese Communist 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.360 Horde Sacre Blue. As you well know, General Cho's Chicken 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.240 was created by the personal chef to none other than 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:46.280 Generallyssiumo Chang Kai Shek, whose anti communist credentials against Chaikom 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.360 tyranny are incontrovertible. I expect a full public retraction. Consider 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:56.080 it retracted. And I'd happen to know your nickname is 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.520 not stir Fries, so don't sign your emails like that. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.520 See what's up, stir Fry. Here's a Tommy in Texas. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.400 Let's see on the topic of Hunter. Sorry, guys, if 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.080 my fifty four year old son was in this much trouble, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.560 I'd let him rot in jail. I'd feel sorry, I 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.720 might be ashamed I didn't raise him correctly, but I'd 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.800 let him face the consequences. It's not like he's an 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.960 eighteen year old punk. He's fifty four. Well, he's been 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.760 set out sober for five years. And if you believed 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.160 he's you know, turned it around, Yeah, well then why 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.280 didn't he say, hey, when I was wasted, I didn't 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.560 pay my taxes. I need to get this right. No, 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:39.200 he lied and perjured and covered up when he was 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.960 so he was busy becoming a painter. All right. Anyway, 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.960 Tommy goes on to say, Hunter's a scumbag. Do you 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.000 think it's possible he went to Dad and said, pardon me, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.680 or I'll write a book about us, or go to 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.960 the press and tell him something about our sideline business 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:57.080 hosing down governments for profit. I think it was probably 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.800 an unspoken understanding, Tommy, But you're on the right. Yeah, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.000 more on that to come. Obviously a lot of people 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:08.639 wanted to weigh in. Yeah, that's a good one. So uh, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.960 we didn't mention what's going on around the world much yesterday. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.680 And what's good? How about Syria? Wow? 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.480 Did that explode over the last couple of days. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.639 And Russia and Iran's involved in that whole bunch of 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:18.919 different stuff we can talk about to day. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.520 Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.359 We are seeing the woman who managed to sneak past 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.920 airport workers and onto an international delta flight from JFK 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.320 to Paris. According to sources, the woman was so unruly 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.159 she had to be removed and she remains in France. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.840 The TSA says the woman bypassed the ID check podium, 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.159 went through security, then slipped past a Delta gate agent. 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.840 The crew and passengers noticing the woman would never sit down. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:47.520 During the flight. 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.120 She was seen moving from one laboratory to another, never 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.200 actually going to a passenger seat. 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.560 French officials telling ABC News the suspected stowaway passenger is 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.760 a Russian national and a legal resident of the US. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.399 And I wasn't paying attention to beginning she got on 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.320 it JFK. Is that what I remember? Yeah, so, and oh, 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.960 there'd never be any terrorism at JFK. And I don't 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.720 want to come off as uh, you know, because you can't. 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.240 You can't be one hundred percent right on a TSA. 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.280 They're never going to get it, all right. But the 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:22.160 pat down of my son that lasted a ridiculously long time, 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.040 got pulled out a line and like going up the 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.000 crotch and around the back and under his hat and 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.000 then looked behind his ears because his hair is long, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.440 and just like they might have grenades back there. Since 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.600 no white teenagers have ever done anything ever in the 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.520 history of airfare, but this woman just walks in and gets. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.000 On a plane. I just I just feel like I 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:43.840 don't know what. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:48.359 Are you doing? Yeah, there need to be more whistleblowers 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.400 from the TSA, more of the blue shirts. You come 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.639 forward and say, hey, here's what they make us do, 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.439 and we got to check a box and show we 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.879 did this number of that. Well, when they need to 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.560 have a vote, when we'll raise our hands in somebody 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.960 way up. I can count all across America the raising 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.760 of the hands, how many people would be okay with? 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.000 How about you don't pull out randomly people so it 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.359 makes looky look like you look makes it look like 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.359 you check young women, babies, and white kids the same 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:21.360 amount as you check islam Muslim men from Africa who 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.760 are twenty five years old. How about we don't worry 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.920 you're chanting angrily under their breast. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.520 How we don't worry about that? 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.520 And they just go with like their gut feeling who 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.080 they think might be somebody to worry about. You have 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.840 so diagnosed it. Yeah, there it is, k there it 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.280 is yeah, I know. Speaking of law and order, Well, 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.720 this is just a lovely, lovely development. There are so 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:49.440 many people getting their packages porch pirated that you can 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:54.120 now get insurance on your delivery. Nearly half of shoppers 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.639 expect to have at least one delivery get snatched up 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:58.879 during this holiday season. 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.080 WHOA, I've never had that hat. 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.240 Well, I guess I have a very minor I left 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:09.159 my pallette of water sitting outside that the door dash 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.040 delivered way too long and somebody took it. I think 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.280 that's like a whole pallette of pallette. But I get 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.560 them by the twenty four pack of the bottles. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.680 I just didn't bring it in. Yeah. Thieves who grab 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:25.960 packages off the front porch would become so common that 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.800 shoppers now spend hundreds of dollars to protect themselves. Ah 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.919 to tur the porch pirates, Americans are shelling out for 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:40.160 such high gadgets as doorbell cameras four hundred dollars, lock boxes, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:46.359 self service locker rental. Interesting. I'll bet that's gonna become 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:53.800 a thing everybody will have, like a little locked like 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.840 the trunk sitting by the door. It'll just be part 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.639 of every house and delivery box. Well, I would agree, 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.160 and it'll be sunk into the concrete and impossible to move. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.200 And that sort of thing, depending on the quality you get. 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.920 Also to deter the the scumbag thieves. I almost hate 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:12.920 to call them porch pirates because it brings to mind 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.880 Johnny Depp and are in good times. No, they're they're 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.680 I almost used an unfortunate word on the air. That's 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:22.920 imagine the kids and how shocked they would have been. 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.000 I'm glad I didn't. But they're blanken thieves. They're scumbags. 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.280 To deter them, oh said that already. Now, there's also 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:36.440 insurance porch Pals, a subscription based startup that launches nationwide yesterday, 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.520 I guess says it will cover the cost of your 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.680 stolen packages one hundred and twenty bucks a year, covers 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.119 up to two thousand dollars worth of deliveries or up 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.280 take three claims in this case, which is your case, 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.000 is probably the way it works. You having tried to 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.280 collect on a ups thing in a variety of other 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:57.160 insurance policies I've purchased before, it is, but not in 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:01.160 this case except in high crime areas. Yeah, exactly, which 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.400 they will declare the day that you get your things stolen? Right? 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.879 Did you request a special signed for personal fingerprinted delivery. 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.199 What now, sorry, oh right, reec. Yeah, which is a 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.400 pain in the ass. And except for really really expensive 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.520 stuff I'm never going to do because I'm not home. Yeah, 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:25.639 I will concede that a portion of the lawlessness of 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:30.320 porch piratry is just opportunity, because I mean, back in 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.080 the day, you just didn't have nearly you didn't have 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.560 a fraction of the stuff sitting on your front porches 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.600 as people do these days. On the other end, part 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.720 of it's just another example of the current of lawlessness, 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:44.800 the feeling that minor and medium and sometimes major offenses 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:50.160 are ignored in this postmodern neo Marxist the justice regime 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:54.280 that the George Gascones of the world, and you know 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.840 the list, Kim Fox, all these people. Well, as you mentioned, 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.240 it brought us, as you mentioned last week or a 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.640 week before that, in a lot of neighborhoods my neighborhood, 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:06.040
