Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Christmas so close, two weeks from normal field, the walls
Speaker 2: closing in on me. I haven't finished my Christmas shopping yet.
Speaker 2: One of the things I am doing at the end
Speaker 2: of the years I always do every single years, I
Speaker 2: look at your end of the year book lists top
Speaker 2: ten books of the year and see if there's any
Speaker 2: stuff I missed that I want to read. One of
Speaker 2: the books I started the new book about Araq, which
Speaker 2: I'll talk about later, which fits in with Siria and
Speaker 2: I find it quite compelling. But one of the books
Speaker 2: it's outs, the Jonathan Hite book. I forget what the
Speaker 2: name of it is, but it's all about how we've
Speaker 2: ruined our kids with social media and smartphones and all
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: We've talked about that book a lot started it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I might want to read the something or other generation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's horrifying. But it went from uh, nobody
Speaker 1: did this to everybody did this in a couple of years.
Speaker 1: In the around two thousand and eight, where everybody stares
Speaker 1: at their phones all the time and we just have
Speaker 1: all gotten used to it. I think the next thing
Speaker 1: we're all going to get used to is gazillions of
Speaker 1: things flying around in the sky all the time over
Speaker 1: our heads and we have no idea what they are.
Speaker 1: I think that's just going to be life in developed countries,
Speaker 1: I suppose, So, yeah, there's a reason to be flying
Speaker 1: them around. Well.
Speaker 2: Whether to lead us into that discussion, what are those
Speaker 2: drones flying around New Jersey?
Speaker 1: Here's a news report on that authorities and Toms River,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, were launching their own drone offensive. For a
Speaker 1: closer look right now, we just want identify what it is.
Speaker 3: The way it was explained, they're two feet bigger than
Speaker 3: our drones.
Speaker 1: Or two times aside rather so they're about four feet
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's a fixed wing type craft.
Speaker 3: What concerns us mostly is that at this point, nobody's
Speaker 3: seen any of these units taking off or landing. This
Speaker 3: is a significant threat to US national security.
Speaker 1: Retired for Star General Barry McCaffrey tells NBC News there's
Speaker 1: good reason why local and federal agencies are treading carefully.
Speaker 3: When you see something of this capacity, you wonder why
Speaker 3: it would be needed. What are they doing? It implies
Speaker 3: a heavy payload, and a heavy payload would be either
Speaker 3: something dangerous a bomb, but in this case, surveillance of
Speaker 3: some sort.
Speaker 1: Okay, So how do we have really large drones flying
Speaker 1: around major urban areas now? For is it full week
Speaker 1: or longer? At least? Yeah? And can't nail down? Are
Speaker 1: they Chinese? Are they Amazon? Are they? Who are they?
Speaker 1: Here's the governor of New Jersey yesterday.
Speaker 4: These are apparently very as I understand it, very sophisticated.
Speaker 4: The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark.
Speaker 4: And you know, we're obviously most concerned about sensitive targets
Speaker 4: and sensitive critical infrastructure. So we've got military assets, we've
Speaker 4: got utility assets, we've got the president and Alex one
Speaker 4: of his homes here. This is something we're taking deadly seriously.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the governor says, you're taking it deadly seriously.
Speaker 1: A four star general in one of the cable news
Speaker 1: channels says, this is a major threat. Here's a cyber
Speaker 1: guy on Fox talking about it today.
Speaker 5: Big mystery here, but it's about to get solved. I
Speaker 5: have a feeling, but here's what we can do. We
Speaker 5: can rule out consumer drones, the little ones you and
Speaker 5: I can buy online and then get soaring above people's houses.
Speaker 5: Probably not that kind, because reports say that these are
Speaker 5: a lot larger. So what could that then narrow it
Speaker 5: down to? Is it surveillance? Is it a foreign and
Speaker 5: trying to surveil parts of the US. Or could it
Speaker 5: be one of these consumer related drones from say a
Speaker 5: company that wants to deliver packages or deliver food to
Speaker 5: somebody's house and they're testing them out. Why the lights
Speaker 5: go out is unusual though?
Speaker 1: No, thanks Cyberguy, good theory. Yeah, if I'm Amazon, I say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be trusted to testing some drones. Boy, I
Speaker 1: got to the bottom of that one quickly. Who is
Speaker 1: this guy and why was he on TV? Here's something
Speaker 1: that's not freaking stupid. Somebody pointed out that there are
Speaker 1: a handful of restricted airspace areas in the Greater Zone
Speaker 1: where these drones have been flying, and they've been avoiding
Speaker 1: them like they know not to go there. Interesting if
Speaker 1: I'm some dipstick just flying drones around because I got
Speaker 1: a new drone for an early Christmas present, I don't
Speaker 1: know that so that would speak to perhaps some level
Speaker 1: of sophistication. But again, if it's a legitimate source of
Speaker 1: these flights, they would have said something wow.
Speaker 2: So I've heard conflicting reports about the legality of this.
Speaker 2: I heard somebody say you need to have approval from
Speaker 2: the FAA to fly drones in urban areas of this
Speaker 2: size or something like that, and then I've heard of
Speaker 2: other people say there.
Speaker 1: Are no restrictions on this, So it could be anyone.
Speaker 1: I don't know which is true. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think our FAA rules are hilariously antiquated, because you know,
Speaker 1: whether it was the Chinese spy balloon or there have
Speaker 1: been a couple of drone related stories, the authorities just say, well,
Speaker 1: the regulations say we can't shoot down a drone in
Speaker 1: an urban area that somebody might get hurt, if you know,
Speaker 1: and so we can't do anything. No, we didn't make
Speaker 1: it the other way. We'll shoot down your drone if
Speaker 1: we're the least bit suspicious of what's going on. A
Speaker 1: couple of kids Christmas presents will get blown out of
Speaker 1: the sky. They'll have learned something jack about just something.
Speaker 1: But isn't it kind of odd that the governor of
Speaker 1: the state. We're taking this very seriously. It's a serious concern,
Speaker 1: and it just keeps happening. That just seems I feel
Speaker 1: like this is going to be the way security changed
Speaker 1: at airports my whole life. If you're old and love
Speaker 1: you remember this your whole life. You could just go
Speaker 1: through security with your uh, you know, your friend and
Speaker 1: walk up to the gate and you'd hang out and
Speaker 1: talk to them. So they got on the plane, walked off.
Speaker 1: Then we had nine to eleven and everything never again.
Speaker 1: That was clearly a terrible idea. We can't do that.
Speaker 1: There's something's gonna happen with a bad a terrorist or
Speaker 1: China or something with a drone, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, all of the rules about drones are gonna
Speaker 1: change drastically and for the rest of our lives. But
Speaker 1: why can't we anticipate this a little bit? I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, as Churchill said, you have to get attacked
Speaker 1: then everything changes. Yeah. The other as I'm theorizing about this,
Speaker 1: the other angle is that if I were up to
Speaker 1: something nefarious, I would probably lie low for a while.
Speaker 1: Now lay low, lie low because there's so much attention
Speaker 1: on it. But what did the governor say, as soon
Speaker 1: as you get up close to it, it turns its
Speaker 1: lights off. I mean, yeah, the hell is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No kidding? Is it a test by some evil doers
Speaker 1: to test our reaction to drones compiling us the US
Speaker 1: like the government? Or yeah? Yeah, is it DARPA or
Speaker 1: something inside the Pentagon they're trying to test out to
Speaker 1: see how. I have no idea, and they just don't
Speaker 1: bother telling the dopey governor of New Jersey.
Speaker 2: God dangn So the speculation that it's Amazon testing out
Speaker 2: their package delivery systems or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't see how that, ever, happens to.
Speaker 2: Where we have FedEx or Amazon delivering packages with drones
Speaker 2: big enough to carry them around all over the sky.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how that would work. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if the math works either. Honestly, perhaps
Speaker 1: it does. But you've got a dude in a van
Speaker 1: delivering one hundred and seventy five packages to you know,
Speaker 1: my neighborhood alone. That seems fairly efficient, right. And then
Speaker 1: I've heard multiple times these are the size of cars,
Speaker 1: then these drones, and then then I heard I think
Speaker 1: it was a little Ainslee on Fox and Friends this morning,
Speaker 1: said that the size of the of the front of
Speaker 1: a car, well that's a weird measuring stick. The size
Speaker 1: of the front of a car, well, yeah, maybe a
Speaker 1: clown car or those little smart cars that I see
Speaker 1: people on the interstate in those things. I think, do
Speaker 1: you want to die just throlling yourself off a cliff
Speaker 1: driving that little toy? But so, how big are these drones?
Speaker 1: Are four feet across? That's pretty big something like that.
Speaker 1: Ye Oh yeah, it's a good size drunk. But the
Speaker 1: size of it appears to be the size of a car.
Speaker 1: But that's the media. I mean, you got somebody down
Speaker 1: there in their their backyard with their iPhone taking videos,
Speaker 1: and then the news media asked them. How big did
Speaker 1: they seem to be? Tre's the size of a car
Speaker 1: at least? I don't know. I thought it was the
Speaker 1: size of a bear, at least bears. You can't tell
Speaker 1: it's night, it's up in the sky. Well, it's funny
Speaker 1: you brought up the Chinese spy balloon because I just
Speaker 1: went through that part of the Bob Woodward book a
Speaker 1: while a couple of weeks ago, and man, we had
Speaker 1: we're at all kinds of horrible, horrible reactions to that.
Speaker 1: It disconnects between people who knew exactly what it was,
Speaker 1: and then a whole bunch of high level officials like
Speaker 1: governors that weren't told anything.
Speaker 2: So I had no idea, and so we could have
Speaker 2: that going on right now. The Pentagon might know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we know exactly what it is. That's why we're not
Speaker 2: worried about it. But you don't tell the governor. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's fine highly classifying. Well, what's your guess,
Speaker 2: and then we'll move on from this. What do you
Speaker 2: think it is?
Speaker 1: I think it will end up being very mundane whatever
Speaker 1: the explanation is. Wow, I hope I'm right. I don't
Speaker 1: have high level of certainty on my theory. Hmm. Maybe
Speaker 1: it depends on your definition of mundane. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it can be mundane to have drones of size
Speaker 1: flying all over the place. It's either something that we're
Speaker 1: going to be okay with or decide is absolutely illegal
Speaker 1: and they got to be shot out of the sky
Speaker 1: because you can't. You can't have if China did have
Speaker 1: a four foot drone flying over an urban area, you
Speaker 1: can't just wait and see what happens. No, you shoot
Speaker 1: it down immediately. Yes, Michael, you don't think this is
Speaker 1: a promotion for a new movie of some sort, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. Or it could just be the Garden State
Speaker 1: Drone Club and they just don't watch a lot of
Speaker 1: TVs so they don't understand the angst that they're causing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're right, Michael, Tom Cruise in Drone Wars.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, though, I'm going to put a
Speaker 1: heavy end to this lighthearted discussion. You remember post nine
Speaker 1: to eleven that there was a great deal of talk
Speaker 1: about failing to connect the dots. And the dots were many,
Speaker 1: and they were unmistakable, and it was more or less
Speaker 1: astounding that any adults, much less those in positions of
Speaker 1: importance an authority, could miss the clues. But they did.
Speaker 1: When the day when the Eggfu Young hits the fan
Speaker 1: and China unleashes some serious evil doing on the homeland,
Speaker 1: the dots are going to be just everywhere, all the time,
Speaker 1: every drone, you know, sighting, every you know power plant
Speaker 1: that went down, mysterious hacking into our phone system, all
Speaker 1: the hacks, all the spies on all the college campus.
Speaker 1: In retrospect, it's going to be it. How stupid are we?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Very very is the answer.
Speaker 2: They surveilled these with drones for four years, turns out,
Speaker 2: and you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: You're right, You're probably right. Tell you what, some Chinese
Speaker 1: national gets busted for spying, and anybody says anything about
Speaker 1: racism or anti Chinese bias. Put that person in the
Speaker 1: cell next to them, because they are at the very
Speaker 1: least a comm simp as we used to call him
Speaker 1: back in the Cold War days, a communist sympathizer, Pinko
Speaker 1: A fellow traveler, did I tell you what again again?
Speaker 1: When the egg flu young hits the fan, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be no more playing. I love it when Joe Getty
Speaker 1: goes Joe McCarthy. I love that. I love your comm
Speaker 1: simp talk. I would never impugne anybody innocent though, no,
Speaker 1: of course not. That's good stuff. There have a little
Speaker 1: ran grab that one, Hans and I might want to
Speaker 1: listen to that one on the way on sick. So
Speaker 1: the over educated, rich progressive guy who tried, who murdered
Speaker 1: that healthcare executive, everything's out about him and he is.
Speaker 1: He's Ted Kazinski Junior is the unibommer junior.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he actually spent a lot of time reading
Speaker 2: the Ted Kaczinski Manifesto and even commented on it online
Speaker 2: and liking it as a book.
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff on the way. Stay here in Russia.
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Nobody's home at the palace.
Speaker 6: It's open house people the estate sail begins. Crowds are
Speaker 6: pillaging the palace. They are sitting in his chairs, they
Speaker 6: are taking pictures and his ship there. They're stealing more chairs.
Speaker 6: He was there some kind of terrible seating.
Speaker 1: Problem in this country.
Speaker 6: But people are rushing the palace and they're just taking
Speaker 6: the chairs. People are coming out like, don't bother going in.
Speaker 6: The good chairs are gone. All that's left is money,
Speaker 6: jewelry and antiquities.
Speaker 1: The lighters say in the side of the Fall of
Speaker 1: the Assad regime. We got more on that later, the
Speaker 1: funny stuff and the serious stuff for you and the
Speaker 1: United Healthcare CEO. Shooter Scumbag came from the incubator of
Speaker 1: so many bad young ideas, America's elite college system. More
Speaker 1: on his background, Stay with us.
Speaker 2: Say this is about Trump from the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: And if you're Trump fan, you're gonna like it. If
Speaker 2: you're Trump hater, I think you should listen to it,
Speaker 2: because I think it's pretty interesting, analysis Gerald Baker in
Speaker 2: his Wall Street Journal column Today, In record time, Donald
Speaker 2: Trump has assembled the most diverse team to help him
Speaker 2: execute the prietaries of the administration any president elect has
Speaker 2: chosen in modern history. By diverse, I don't mean according
Speaker 2: to the mandates of DEI commissars, whose brief weird tyranny
Speaker 2: is thankfully coming to an end. Though even by these standards,
Speaker 2: mister Trump is quite the progressive, having picked, among others,
Speaker 2: by my count, three Hindus, that'd be Tulsi Gabbard, Cashptel
Speaker 2: and Vivic Vivike Ramaswami, a pair of a Sponics, Hispanics
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio and Laurie Chebez de Rummer, the first female who.
Speaker 1: Waits to go immediately put back to you.
Speaker 2: The first female White House Chief of Staff Susie Wilds,
Speaker 2: and the highest ranking openly gay man in the official
Speaker 2: Order of Presidential succession, Scott best Best It.
Speaker 1: I didn't notice, so that is fairly diverse, as if
Speaker 1: anyone who cares. I don't.
Speaker 2: By diversity, I mean, writes the Wall Street Journal that
Speaker 2: the most valuable sort of diversity of ideology and belief,
Speaker 2: Trump too, will encompass, if all goes according to denomination plans,
Speaker 2: a compound of contemporary political denominations traditional conservatives, national populists, libertarians, Democrats,
Speaker 2: foreign policy hawks and doves, and many others. If you're
Speaker 2: an optimist, you will see in this a ministry of
Speaker 2: all the talents, the convening of a broad church that
Speaker 2: reflects the dynamic pluralism America, pluralism of America. If you're
Speaker 2: a pessimist, you might worry that it will turn out
Speaker 2: to have all the efficiency and unity of purpose of
Speaker 2: a first grade field trip.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He hints that maybe, uh, you get appointed if
Speaker 1: you kiss Donald Trump's butt, no matter what your ideology is,
Speaker 1: and that it may be a government by whim. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, group think is no good. And
Speaker 1: if Trump up against like this labor secretary gal, she
Speaker 1: has got to go right away the Senate, I hope
Speaker 1: will punt her halfway to Pennsylvania. But you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't execute Trump's, you know, his vision for the country,
Speaker 1: he'll get rid of you. Oh right, It's not like
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell him what to do. He does whatever
Speaker 1: he wants to do. Yeah, so, yeah, there's some odd
Speaker 1: choices there, but yeah, that's one take diversity of opinion.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: But if you're a Democrat and you come up with
Speaker 2: a cabinet like that of advisors, you're doing the whole
Speaker 2: Lincoln Team of Rivals thing. If you're Trump and you
Speaker 2: do it, you're just a whack job. If you're a
Speaker 2: Democrat and you appoint somebody who's Indian American, it's the
Speaker 2: first Indian American person that's ever been the first whatever,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. If you're Trump, it's just you pick
Speaker 2: out what's wrong with this person and forget the fact
Speaker 2: that they're Indian.
Speaker 1: He's an idiot who shouldn't be in the job, right,
Speaker 1: Sure you need to know about that person. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: utterly dishonest, which is why they're dying once again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so turn out, yet another overly educated rich kid
Speaker 2: does something heinous and in this case, shot the CEO
Speaker 2: of United Healthcare.
Speaker 1: They caught the guy yesterday. His background really interesting in
Speaker 1: revealing stay with us Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: It starts off basically with an apology saying, you know,
Speaker 7: I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it
Speaker 7: had to be done. It talks about these parasites had
Speaker 7: it coming. And within the document before kind of the
Speaker 7: latter part of the document where he rails against the
Speaker 7: healthcare industry, he talks about he acted alone and was
Speaker 7: self financed. Now there's a question why does this document exist?
Speaker 7: You know, people say, well, maybe he wanted to be caught.
Speaker 7: He had the gun, he had the document. There is
Speaker 7: another point of view, which is that he was planning
Speaker 7: to strike again, maybe at some other executive or target,
Speaker 7: and that the manifesto was either going to be left
Speaker 7: or sent to police or sent to the media.
Speaker 1: Or both are true. That's John Miller on CNN.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the nutjob killer that got apprehended at
Speaker 2: the McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania yesterday. He killed that poor
Speaker 2: CEO of United Healthcare. So this job kid was reading
Speaker 2: the unibomber's manifesto online, actually reviewing it on a couple
Speaker 2: of different websites and liking it, which would lead me
Speaker 2: to believe absolutely he was planning on striking it. He
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be I assume like a
Speaker 2: unibomber guy that everybody wondered where he was for years
Speaker 2: as he got to go around the country being a
Speaker 2: evil Robin Hood.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: There were several aspects of the whole thing, is it
Speaker 1: unfolded that made me think either he wanted to be
Speaker 1: caught or he because I'm going to refer to him
Speaker 1: as a self important twit because that's what he is.
Speaker 1: Who thought he was he was the guy who knew
Speaker 1: so much and understood so much and was so righteous
Speaker 1: a purpose he gets to kill people to change the world.
Speaker 1: Just incredible hubris. But yeah, he wants to be known
Speaker 1: as the hero he sees himself to be for all
Speaker 1: of his back problems and you know, he had probably
Speaker 1: problems with the insurance companies or was on pills. I
Speaker 1: don't even know all this stuff, but I just think
Speaker 1: it's as Noah Rothman of the National Review put it.
Speaker 1: Who could have imagined that the alleged murderer whose violence
Speaker 1: was being celebrated by a lot of two online over
Speaker 1: educated white leftists would turn out to be a too online,
Speaker 1: over educated white leftist. Sure he was the Carl Marxian
Speaker 1: rich kid who fancied themselves as the savior of something
Speaker 1: or other, became radicalized, and once you become radicalized. We
Speaker 1: were talking about this early in the show. It's it's
Speaker 1: almost like falling love or being really really angry. Your
Speaker 1: capacity to make rational decisions just goes away. And that's
Speaker 1: why you know, people who are very smart do and
Speaker 1: say idiot things. They're blinded by their their activism. If
Speaker 1: he was planning on.
Speaker 2: Making this a career, at least for a little while,
Speaker 2: you would think you wouldn't have gone into a Starbucks
Speaker 2: the day before, and I've been unaware of the fact
Speaker 2: that you're on camera everywhere you go, and then gone
Speaker 2: into a McDonald's after the murderer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not be going into McDonald's and sitting
Speaker 1: there maskless and munching on my egg McMuffin, right if
Speaker 1: I wanted to elude capture. I don't know anyway. In
Speaker 1: reviewing the Unibomber's screed, he said, quote, ye had the
Speaker 1: balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere,
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, he's probably right.
Speaker 1: When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary
Speaker 1: to survive. You may not like his methods, but to
Speaker 1: see things from his perspective, it's not terrorism, it's war
Speaker 1: and revolution. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: I live in the town where the unibomber struck and
Speaker 2: killed and hurt people. Actually, the university and the un
Speaker 2: obomber accomplished nothing. Dude, you don't know You've got that
Speaker 2: out by watching he accomplish nothing.
Speaker 1: Right, so insurance companies to engage in some abuses. Therefore,
Speaker 1: I'm going to blow a bunch of people's fingers off,
Speaker 1: like the unibomber killed a couple, right, or like this
Speaker 1: guy going to shoot down a guy. What do you
Speaker 1: think You're notited? Healthcare is going to go away now?
Speaker 1: Or are they going to hire another CEO is going
Speaker 1: to do roughly the same things, you stupid, self important moron.
Speaker 1: I hate to say this because I don't like it
Speaker 1: to be true at all, but I've heard a lot
Speaker 1: of conversations about healthcare costs, insurance, what's fair, what's not fair? Etc.
Speaker 1: Since the shooting. Well, it's like we've said many times
Speaker 1: about the school shooters, who their grievances. The networks deal
Speaker 1: with them is I tell you what you can buy
Speaker 1: our attention with blood. You've got to give me a
Speaker 1: lot of victims, you got to give me a lot
Speaker 1: of horror. And if you do I will read your
Speaker 1: complaint to America and this is the same thing, and I,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to participate in it. But
Speaker 1: so this guy went to Williams College, which well, he
Speaker 1: went to a forty thousand dollars year prep school for
Speaker 1: like half a dozen years, came from real money. And
Speaker 1: then he goes to Williams College, which is a very
Speaker 1: very exclusive, very well thought of quote unquote Ivy League
Speaker 1: college where I actually know a guy who's a graduate
Speaker 1: of it. But he's very sane too. Of course he's
Speaker 1: not this generation. But one of my favorite online Twitter
Speaker 1: accounts was quoted an account by a Williams College student
Speaker 1: of his time at the country's top ranked liberal arts college,
Speaker 1: and it was just it was actually pre George Floyd.
Speaker 1: It was after Trayvon Martin and everything. Kid says, I
Speaker 1: went to Williams for a year before transferring because it
Speaker 1: was so bad. I became severely depressed. It's worse than
Speaker 1: you can imagine. Literally every single class I took, everyone
Speaker 1: had an anti white, anti Christian professor and agenda. Apart
Speaker 1: from the anti white agenda in the entire curriculum, it
Speaker 1: seeped through the general discourse. An atmosphere on campus as well.
Speaker 1: There was a gigantic mural of Trayvon Martin hung in
Speaker 1: the student center. Despite the school bending over backwards to
Speaker 1: accommodate every single brown person's desire, they still felt oppressed
Speaker 1: and launched a police brutality campaign against our campus security officers,
Speaker 1: claiming they were being harassed and abused by these half asleep,
Speaker 1: fat seventy year olds. And then it goes into just
Speaker 1: the student activism, which was completely over the top. They
Speaker 1: were in like the most woke place on earth. But
Speaker 1: they formed this Coalition against Racism that published a list
Speaker 1: of demands that our president immediately in act lest she
Speaker 1: be branded as a racist. It was beyond parody. Everything
Speaker 1: I'm about to list is one hundred percent true. And
Speaker 1: this is where this guy went to college. They wanted this,
Speaker 1: their Coalition against Racism wanted their own self segregated living
Speaker 1: space on campus, demand too, the school to pay for
Speaker 1: it and do their laundry for them. Three free transportation
Speaker 1: in New York or Boston every weekend to escape the
Speaker 1: pervasive culture of whiteness on campus. Oh my god. Again,
Speaker 1: this is not parody. O my god. A special division
Speaker 1: of the school's counseling center comprised only of minority counselors
Speaker 1: who could better understand their troubles. I would like to
Speaker 1: I would like to revisit the laundry one who doesn't
Speaker 1: want that light starts please, like I'd like to not
Speaker 1: have to do menial tasks. It is my right as
Speaker 1: a progressive right. And finally they demanded all minority faculty
Speaker 1: receiver rays. This petition received hundreds of signatures from both
Speaker 1: students and faculty, and then he went He talks about
Speaker 1: trying to join a Republican club and how it was
Speaker 1: just so ugly. Incident after incident, protest after protest again
Speaker 1: in the most woke place on Earth. It goes on
Speaker 1: and on and on. They had to take a difference,
Speaker 1: Power and Equity course, which was a end to end
Speaker 1: f you at all the white people on campus. So
Speaker 1: in conclusion, I want to say this, our elite colleges
Speaker 1: are totally irreparably ft. This is a school that is
Speaker 1: ranked number one of the country and is on par
Speaker 1: with Princeton Harvard, and I'm sure much of the same
Speaker 1: as occurring. The anti white propaganda is totally all consuming,
Speaker 1: and so you get the kids like this the shooter
Speaker 1: who is a white guy, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: blame you know, his college or the university for turning
Speaker 1: him into what he was and what he did. But
Speaker 1: if you look at all these these idiot screeching women
Speaker 1: on the quad, wearing their cafeas and demonstrating in favor
Speaker 1: of Islamis terrorists who would murder them in an instant
Speaker 1: for opening their mouths about anything, or stepping out without
Speaker 1: a male relative or whatever, you realize this college insanity
Speaker 1: is having effect. So you got this white kid who
Speaker 1: he goes through four years of this and he becomes
Speaker 1: completely convinced he's got to be a brave revolutionary in
Speaker 1: the name of progressivism to wash himself of his whiteness
Speaker 1: or something like that.
Speaker 2: Right, Just nuts different aspect of the manhunt and murder
Speaker 2: the gun. First of all, several things that the police
Speaker 2: released as facts about the gun turned out to not
Speaker 2: be true. So just let's all remind yourselves once again,
Speaker 2: everything you hear in the first couple of days after
Speaker 2: a big shooting or.
Speaker 1: Whatever, it's a coin flip here, it's accurate.
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure there's any point in paying attention
Speaker 2: to these stories in the first couple of days. There's
Speaker 2: so many things flying around that aren't true. But it
Speaker 2: was one of those guns he assemble with parts that's
Speaker 2: got no serial number, not registered anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't I'm a pro gun guy. I'm a Second
Speaker 1: Amendment guy. But I've got a buddy who's a he
Speaker 1: calls himself a gun nut. I mean, he's got lots
Speaker 1: of different kinds of very crazy weapons. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's preparing for, but he's always telling me about how, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can order that even in California. You can order
Speaker 1: all these different parts and put together all kinds of
Speaker 1: guns that uh, not a chance you could buy them
Speaker 1: assembled in California or most places. What is it with
Speaker 1: our laws on that is? What is that all about?
Speaker 1: You can buy it's just an effort and it's slow
Speaker 1: you down. And it's not like they're hard to put together.
Speaker 1: It's not like you have to be some sort of
Speaker 1: blacksmith or something. They screw together. You put this in,
Speaker 1: you put a screw, and all of a sudden you've
Speaker 1: got a crazy, deadly weapon that we've decided as a
Speaker 1: society should be illegal.
Speaker 2: But if you buy the part separately and put it together.
Speaker 2: You can have it unregistered, nobody knows you have it,
Speaker 2: there's no way.
Speaker 1: To trace it. Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Now I'm not I don't know where I stand on that,
Speaker 2: but I just think it's an interesting aspect of the
Speaker 2: whole gum thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, I think they just want to put up
Speaker 1: a hurdle or two to discourage people from doing it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the people that want that kind of thing, you've figured
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this kid had a plastic gun, no serial
Speaker 2: number whatsoever, no way to know that he had it
Speaker 2: and and used it to murder this dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a suppressor. But you know, again, there's something
Speaker 1: and this is typical of this sort of would be
Speaker 1: self aggrandizing, anti hero type guy. You would, if you
Speaker 1: were sane, you would get rid of everything connected to
Speaker 1: the crime, certainly the gun. If you can three D
Speaker 1: print a gun, then get the hell rid of it
Speaker 1: and make another one later down the road. You've got
Speaker 1: all of the accessory or what's the You've got all
Speaker 1: of the evidence of your crime with you atting in
Speaker 1: public at a McDonald's right. The fact that you didn't
Speaker 1: get rid of the gun immediately after the murder.
Speaker 2: Have you seen the godfather, you drop it, you walk out.
Speaker 2: The fact that he didn't get rid of the gun
Speaker 2: after the murder. You didn't even spash it somewhere while
Speaker 2: you go in the McDonald's. You didn't, like, I'll hide
Speaker 2: it over here behind the bush and going the you
Speaker 2: just have it with you.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah, yeah, that's one word. He's some level
Speaker 1: of pretty unhinged. Yeah. Yeah, again, whether ideologically or like
Speaker 1: has psychosis or something. I think it's probably just ideology.
Speaker 1: He's valedictorian of his super fancy school, got any master's
Speaker 1: degree in computer science and that sort of thing mathematics.
Speaker 1: So not a dumb guy. Oh no, no, not at all.
Speaker 1: The relationship between intelligence and wisdom is random. Seems to be, yes,
Speaker 1: seems to be, at least in some cases. But again,
Speaker 1: ideology is it's like falling in love. The rational faculties
Speaker 1: get shut down for a while. They're overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: Learned something about Syria yesterday, I didn't know. I'll have
Speaker 2: to get to that at some point. That continues to
Speaker 2: be a hell of an interesting story. We have nine
Speaker 2: hundred troops there and got to figure that out. Bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff on the way. I hope you can stay here,
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: All these kids. They love the nineties, big nineties trends.
Speaker 8: You love the nineties so much. Go away for the bus.
Speaker 8: Go away for the bus and no cell phone. Look
Speaker 8: at your feet for ten minutes and look up at
Speaker 8: the tree. Yeah, your boy, go look at your feet again.
Speaker 8: What else are you gonna do? You're gonna take a rock,
Speaker 8: throw at a stop sign for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: You love the nineties so much, You got.
Speaker 8: You then go wait, go sit after soccer practice and
Speaker 8: your mom is like when the coach took all the balls.
Speaker 1: Sit there, just kind of look at your fet a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 8: Look back at the goalposts that's the un occur maybe,
Speaker 8: and look up at the fence.
Speaker 1: He loved the ninety so much. Yeah, he precently liked
Speaker 1: to talk about that more. Yeah. He presents it as
Speaker 1: kind of like it's awful. It's good. It was good
Speaker 1: for all of us, it was good for everybody. Stare
Speaker 1: at your feet for a couple of minutes while you
Speaker 1: wait for the bus. Yeah, I'll give you a very
Speaker 1: short version of my my manifesto. Human beings are designed
Speaker 1: for that. You take in a certain amount of input
Speaker 1: and you spend the rest of your time filing it,
Speaker 1: comparing it to other things you've learned, memorizing it, coming
Speaker 1: up with jokes about it. Not constant input. That is
Speaker 1: a recipe to make you insane, speak of insane. I impugned, Well,
Speaker 1: not really. This guy, the shooter did not go to Williams.
Speaker 1: He went to Penn. And the point of the article is,
Speaker 1: this is the Ivy League atmosphere. For instance, this student
Speaker 1: from Williams who talked about it, but Penn very similar.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I impugned Williams in a way even as
Speaker 1: I was impugning them intentionally.
Speaker 2: So we're talking about the big drones that are flying
Speaker 2: over New Jersey and nobody knows what they are, and
Speaker 2: the Governor's worried and everything, and just what the hell's
Speaker 2: going on there? We got this text I thought was
Speaker 2: kind of interesting all the way around. On it read
Speaker 2: the drones. I work in the security industry. I won't
Speaker 2: get into the specifics, but the FAA requires all drones.
Speaker 1: All drones to be registered in the operator must have
Speaker 1: a certificate to operate the drone anywhere in the United States. Well,
Speaker 1: there's got to be a size limit, because we've all
Speaker 1: had bought our children little tiny drones for Christmas or whatever.
Speaker 1: And I sign no certificate and registered with no one,
Speaker 1: So there must be some size requirement. I hope the
Speaker 1: FBI visits your house later today. At work, we have
Speaker 1: radar that is able to get you, like your mar
Speaker 1: Lagosa going. How many of you knew this. We have
Speaker 1: radar that is able to detect drones all over They
Speaker 1: mentioned the county we live. We're in broadcasting from right now.
Speaker 2: All commercial drones broadcast a distinct serial number that is
Speaker 2: registered with the FAA, much like a tail number for
Speaker 2: an airplane. If a drone flies over any of the
Speaker 2: infrastructure we monitor, we can see the flight paths, serial number,
Speaker 2: and registered owner of the drone immediately. I guarantee that
Speaker 2: if the drones flying over the sensitive infrastructure are commercial,
Speaker 2: the government and the authorities already know who owns them.
Speaker 2: If the drones are not registered, or they are being
Speaker 2: operated by a foreign entity, and yes, that is a
Speaker 2: serious threat. So it sounds like it's one of the other.
Speaker 2: It's either, well, obs, we know who this is, and
Speaker 2: here's why we're not worried about it. But that's the
Speaker 2: governor doesn't know why wouldn't they tell the governor.
Speaker 1: I would think there is given the level of concern that,
Speaker 1: like the governor expressed, they would find a way to
Speaker 1: track one of the drones to its landing place. But
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened yet. This is odd. I hope it's
Speaker 1: all because it's DARPA and we're trying something out and
Speaker 1: it's not because it's like the Chinese balloon thing. They
Speaker 1: freaking sent a spy balloon across the country. That's absolutely
Speaker 1: one percent what they were doing. Yeah, and we just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. For a long long time,
Speaker 1: A long time Trump, for all his faults, would have
Speaker 1: known what to do. I hope we're not doing that
Speaker 1: right now. Which depart which agency should be dealing with this?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You think we ought to shoot it down? Well,
Speaker 1: if somebody gets hurt.
Speaker 2: And all the while China just continues to test our
Speaker 2: systems or.
Speaker 1: Spy or whatever she's in paying saying, can you but
Speaker 1: believe how stupid these people aren't they just do anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I want to talk a little bit about Syria.
Speaker 2: This book, it was one of the top books of
Speaker 2: the year according to everybody who does that sort of
Speaker 2: thing about Araq.
Speaker 1: It's called the Achilles trap. Satim was saying the ci
Speaker 1: and the origins of America's invasion of Iraq, and I thought,
Speaker 1: do I want to get you know, re get into
Speaker 1: a rack. But it's all, it's all, it's all the same,
Speaker 1: you know, a Raq, Syria, Afghanistan. So many of these
Speaker 1: countries are the same sort of thing. And our involvement
Speaker 1: was the same sort of thing with the same sort
Speaker 1: of results. So there's a lot of sameness to it.
Speaker 1: But and these evil regimes all have exactly the same playbook,
Speaker 1: exactly the way they treat prisoners and demand loyalty and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. All it's it's like, well, it's like
Speaker 1: there's a dictator's handbook. Yeah, yeah, there is more or.
Speaker 2: Less, and it's gruesome at the very bottom of it.
Speaker 2: Also a little bit on the new guy, the new
Speaker 2: rebel leader. Can we believe what he's saying about pluralism or.
Speaker 1: Is he uh just fooling us? All for the time being,
Speaker 1: wait and see provide incentives and disincentives to whatever extent
Speaker 1: we can and hope for the best. But I get
Speaker 1: involved involved, No, No, you don't want to. The United
Speaker 1: States involved only. Like I described, provide incentives and disincentives
Speaker 1: as is appropriate. Yeah. Interesting, We got a lot more
Speaker 1: on that if you missed now I get the podcast
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
