WEBVTT - Punt Her Halfway To Pennsylvania 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.840 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:24.640 Jetty and now he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.840 Christmas so close, two weeks from normal field, the walls 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.240 closing in on me. I haven't finished my Christmas shopping yet. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.640 One of the things I am doing at the end 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.199 of the years I always do every single years, I 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.360 look at your end of the year book lists top 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:41.680 ten books of the year and see if there's any 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.440 stuff I missed that I want to read. One of 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.880 the books I started the new book about Araq, which 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.000 I'll talk about later, which fits in with Siria and 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.480 I find it quite compelling. But one of the books 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.960 it's outs, the Jonathan Hite book. I forget what the 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.680 name of it is, but it's all about how we've 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.720 ruined our kids with social media and smartphones and all 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:01.400 that sort of stuff. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.240 We've talked about that book a lot started it. Yeah, yeah, 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.520 I might want to read the something or other generation. Yeah, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:17.600 it's it's it's horrifying. But it went from uh, nobody 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.720 did this to everybody did this in a couple of years. 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.920 In the around two thousand and eight, where everybody stares 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.280 at their phones all the time and we just have 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.880 all gotten used to it. I think the next thing 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.600 we're all going to get used to is gazillions of 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.240 things flying around in the sky all the time over 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.800 our heads and we have no idea what they are. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.880 I think that's just going to be life in developed countries, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.160 I suppose, So, yeah, there's a reason to be flying 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.200 them around. Well. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.720 Whether to lead us into that discussion, what are those 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.160 drones flying around New Jersey? 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.520 Here's a news report on that authorities and Toms River, 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.960 New Jersey, were launching their own drone offensive. For a 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.480 closer look right now, we just want identify what it is. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.480 The way it was explained, they're two feet bigger than 0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:59.400 our drones. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.360 Or two times aside rather so they're about four feet 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.840 and it looks like it's a fixed wing type craft. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.040 What concerns us mostly is that at this point, nobody's 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.040 seen any of these units taking off or landing. This 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.240 is a significant threat to US national security. 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.679 Retired for Star General Barry McCaffrey tells NBC News there's 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.320 good reason why local and federal agencies are treading carefully. 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.320 When you see something of this capacity, you wonder why 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:29.120 it would be needed. What are they doing? It implies 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.320 a heavy payload, and a heavy payload would be either 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:38.640 something dangerous a bomb, but in this case, surveillance of 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:39.840 some sort. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:45.480 Okay, So how do we have really large drones flying 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.880 around major urban areas now? For is it full week 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.000 or longer? At least? Yeah? And can't nail down? Are 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.760 they Chinese? Are they Amazon? Are they? Who are they? 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.480 Here's the governor of New Jersey yesterday. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.120 These are apparently very as I understand it, very sophisticated. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.160 The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:15.359 And you know, we're obviously most concerned about sensitive targets 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.359 and sensitive critical infrastructure. So we've got military assets, we've 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.520 got utility assets, we've got the president and Alex one 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.240 of his homes here. This is something we're taking deadly seriously. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.600 Okay, So the governor says, you're taking it deadly seriously. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.799 A four star general in one of the cable news 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.960 channels says, this is a major threat. Here's a cyber 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.240 guy on Fox talking about it today. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.680 Big mystery here, but it's about to get solved. I 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.800 have a feeling, but here's what we can do. We 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.440 can rule out consumer drones, the little ones you and 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.840 I can buy online and then get soaring above people's houses. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.840 Probably not that kind, because reports say that these are 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.640 a lot larger. So what could that then narrow it 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.800 down to? Is it surveillance? Is it a foreign and 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.920 trying to surveil parts of the US. Or could it 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.200 be one of these consumer related drones from say a 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.960 company that wants to deliver packages or deliver food to 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.960 somebody's house and they're testing them out. Why the lights 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.120 go out is unusual though? 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.080 No, thanks Cyberguy, good theory. Yeah, if I'm Amazon, I say, hey, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.840 we're gonna be trusted to testing some drones. Boy, I 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.000 got to the bottom of that one quickly. Who is 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.200 this guy and why was he on TV? Here's something 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.280 that's not freaking stupid. Somebody pointed out that there are 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.320 a handful of restricted airspace areas in the Greater Zone 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.680 where these drones have been flying, and they've been avoiding 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.200 them like they know not to go there. Interesting if 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.480 I'm some dipstick just flying drones around because I got 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.279 a new drone for an early Christmas present, I don't 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.599 know that so that would speak to perhaps some level 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:01.160 of sophistication. But again, if it's a legitimate source of 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.760 these flights, they would have said something wow. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.800 So I've heard conflicting reports about the legality of this. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.840 I heard somebody say you need to have approval from 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.320 the FAA to fly drones in urban areas of this 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.640 size or something like that, and then I've heard of 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.320 other people say there. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.320 Are no restrictions on this, So it could be anyone. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.680 I don't know which is true. You know, I don't 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:30.479 think our FAA rules are hilariously antiquated, because you know, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.919 whether it was the Chinese spy balloon or there have 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.000 been a couple of drone related stories, the authorities just say, well, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.479 the regulations say we can't shoot down a drone in 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.479 an urban area that somebody might get hurt, if you know, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.160 and so we can't do anything. No, we didn't make 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:49.800 it the other way. We'll shoot down your drone if 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.680 we're the least bit suspicious of what's going on. A 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.960 couple of kids Christmas presents will get blown out of 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:01.480 the sky. They'll have learned something jack about just something. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.400 But isn't it kind of odd that the governor of 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.520 the state. We're taking this very seriously. It's a serious concern, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:13.520 and it just keeps happening. That just seems I feel 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.599 like this is going to be the way security changed 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.719 at airports my whole life. If you're old and love 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.040 you remember this your whole life. You could just go 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.240 through security with your uh, you know, your friend and 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.760 walk up to the gate and you'd hang out and 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.560 talk to them. So they got on the plane, walked off. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.200 Then we had nine to eleven and everything never again. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.560 That was clearly a terrible idea. We can't do that. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.760 There's something's gonna happen with a bad a terrorist or 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.640 China or something with a drone, and then all of 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.920 a sudden, all of the rules about drones are gonna 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.320 change drastically and for the rest of our lives. But 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.680 why can't we anticipate this a little bit? I don't know, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.680 you know, as Churchill said, you have to get attacked 0:06:55.000 --> 0:07:00.280 then everything changes. Yeah. The other as I'm theorizing about this, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.440 the other angle is that if I were up to 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.000 something nefarious, I would probably lie low for a while. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.400 Now lay low, lie low because there's so much attention 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.040 on it. But what did the governor say, as soon 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.040 as you get up close to it, it turns its 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.200 lights off. I mean, yeah, the hell is that? Yeah? 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.960 No kidding? Is it a test by some evil doers 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:27.120 to test our reaction to drones compiling us the US 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.520 like the government? Or yeah? Yeah, is it DARPA or 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.160 something inside the Pentagon they're trying to test out to 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.320 see how. I have no idea, and they just don't 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.920 bother telling the dopey governor of New Jersey. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:43.840 God dangn So the speculation that it's Amazon testing out 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.440 their package delivery systems or whatever. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.720 I don't see how that, ever, happens to. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:57.720 Where we have FedEx or Amazon delivering packages with drones 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.280 big enough to carry them around all over the sky. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.280 I can't even imagine how that would work. Yeah, and 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.120 I don't know if the math works either. Honestly, perhaps 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.880 it does. But you've got a dude in a van 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.680 delivering one hundred and seventy five packages to you know, 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:17.680 my neighborhood alone. That seems fairly efficient, right. And then 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.160 I've heard multiple times these are the size of cars, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.320 then these drones, and then then I heard I think 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.920 it was a little Ainslee on Fox and Friends this morning, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.680 said that the size of the of the front of 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.360 a car, well that's a weird measuring stick. The size 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.680 of the front of a car, well, yeah, maybe a 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.440 clown car or those little smart cars that I see 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.560 people on the interstate in those things. I think, do 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.320 you want to die just throlling yourself off a cliff 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.520 driving that little toy? But so, how big are these drones? 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.480 Are four feet across? That's pretty big something like that. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.040 Ye Oh yeah, it's a good size drunk. But the 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.960 size of it appears to be the size of a car. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.439 But that's the media. I mean, you got somebody down 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.679 there in their their backyard with their iPhone taking videos, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.600 and then the news media asked them. How big did 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.920 they seem to be? Tre's the size of a car 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.960 at least? I don't know. I thought it was the 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.000 size of a bear, at least bears. You can't tell 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.440 it's night, it's up in the sky. Well, it's funny 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.920 you brought up the Chinese spy balloon because I just 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.000 went through that part of the Bob Woodward book a 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.560 while a couple of weeks ago, and man, we had 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.280 we're at all kinds of horrible, horrible reactions to that. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.720 It disconnects between people who knew exactly what it was, 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.240 and then a whole bunch of high level officials like 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.200 governors that weren't told anything. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.440 So I had no idea, and so we could have 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.439 that going on right now. The Pentagon might know, Yeah, 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.080 we know exactly what it is. That's why we're not 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.000 worried about it. But you don't tell the governor. I 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:48.520 don't know if that's fine highly classifying. Well, what's your guess, 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.160 and then we'll move on from this. What do you 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:50.640 think it is? 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.760 I think it will end up being very mundane whatever 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.760 the explanation is. Wow, I hope I'm right. I don't 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.559 have high level of certainty on my theory. Hmm. Maybe 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.360 it depends on your definition of mundane. I don't know 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.119 if it can be mundane to have drones of size 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.120 flying all over the place. It's either something that we're 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.600 going to be okay with or decide is absolutely illegal 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:17.920 and they got to be shot out of the sky 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.880 because you can't. You can't have if China did have 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.840 a four foot drone flying over an urban area, you 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.840 can't just wait and see what happens. No, you shoot 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.400 it down immediately. Yes, Michael, you don't think this is 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.920 a promotion for a new movie of some sort, Oh 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.160 my god. Or it could just be the Garden State 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.280 Drone Club and they just don't watch a lot of 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.960 TVs so they don't understand the angst that they're causing. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.679 I don't know. You're right, Michael, Tom Cruise in Drone Wars. 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.200 I'll tell you this, though, I'm going to put a 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:54.160 heavy end to this lighthearted discussion. You remember post nine 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.400 to eleven that there was a great deal of talk 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.360 about failing to connect the dots. And the dots were many, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.679 and they were unmistakable, and it was more or less 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.880 astounding that any adults, much less those in positions of 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.080 importance an authority, could miss the clues. But they did. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.200 When the day when the Eggfu Young hits the fan 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.319 and China unleashes some serious evil doing on the homeland, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:25.439 the dots are going to be just everywhere, all the time, 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:30.640 every drone, you know, sighting, every you know power plant 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.839 that went down, mysterious hacking into our phone system, all 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.000 the hacks, all the spies on all the college campus. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.440 In retrospect, it's going to be it. How stupid are we? 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:41.400 Right? 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.800 Very very is the answer. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.880 They surveilled these with drones for four years, turns out, 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:47.760 and you know that sort of thing. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.960 You're right, You're probably right. Tell you what, some Chinese 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.960 national gets busted for spying, and anybody says anything about 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.800 racism or anti Chinese bias. Put that person in the 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.480 cell next to them, because they are at the very 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.920 least a comm simp as we used to call him 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.800 back in the Cold War days, a communist sympathizer, Pinko 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.760 A fellow traveler, did I tell you what again again? 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.520 When the egg flu young hits the fan, there's gonna 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.319 be no more playing. I love it when Joe Getty 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.640 goes Joe McCarthy. I love that. I love your comm 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.520 simp talk. I would never impugne anybody innocent though, no, 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.480 of course not. That's good stuff. There have a little 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.319 ran grab that one, Hans and I might want to 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.160 listen to that one on the way on sick. So 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:37.960 the over educated, rich progressive guy who tried, who murdered 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.320 that healthcare executive, everything's out about him and he is. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.800 He's Ted Kazinski Junior is the unibommer junior. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.480 Well, yeah, he actually spent a lot of time reading 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.600 the Ted Kaczinski Manifesto and even commented on it online 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.080 and liking it as a book. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:13:00.640 A lot of stuff on the way. Stay here in Russia. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.680 You know what that means. Nobody's home at the palace. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.600 It's open house people the estate sail begins. Crowds are 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.640 pillaging the palace. They are sitting in his chairs, they 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:16.400 are taking pictures and his ship there. They're stealing more chairs. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.679 He was there some kind of terrible seating. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:21.719 Problem in this country. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.760 But people are rushing the palace and they're just taking 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.160 the chairs. People are coming out like, don't bother going in. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.680 The good chairs are gone. All that's left is money, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.120 jewelry and antiquities. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.080 The lighters say in the side of the Fall of 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.160 the Assad regime. We got more on that later, the 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.640 funny stuff and the serious stuff for you and the 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:56.080 United Healthcare CEO. Shooter Scumbag came from the incubator of 0:13:56.240 --> 0:14:01.559 so many bad young ideas, America's elite college system. More 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.319 on his background, Stay with us. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.760 Say this is about Trump from the Wall Street Journal, 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.160 And if you're Trump fan, you're gonna like it. If 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.439 you're Trump hater, I think you should listen to it, 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.000 because I think it's pretty interesting, analysis Gerald Baker in 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.120 his Wall Street Journal column Today, In record time, Donald 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.800 Trump has assembled the most diverse team to help him 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.640 execute the prietaries of the administration any president elect has 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.440 chosen in modern history. By diverse, I don't mean according 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.480 to the mandates of DEI commissars, whose brief weird tyranny 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.760 is thankfully coming to an end. Though even by these standards, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.400 mister Trump is quite the progressive, having picked, among others, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.640 by my count, three Hindus, that'd be Tulsi Gabbard, Cashptel 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.920 and Vivic Vivike Ramaswami, a pair of a Sponics, Hispanics 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.520 Marco Rubio and Laurie Chebez de Rummer, the first female who. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.200 Waits to go immediately put back to you. 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.720 The first female White House Chief of Staff Susie Wilds, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.520 and the highest ranking openly gay man in the official 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.440 Order of Presidential succession, Scott best Best It. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.840 I didn't notice, so that is fairly diverse, as if 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:03.960 anyone who cares. I don't. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.120 By diversity, I mean, writes the Wall Street Journal that 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.360 the most valuable sort of diversity of ideology and belief, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.880 Trump too, will encompass, if all goes according to denomination plans, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:20.239 a compound of contemporary political denominations traditional conservatives, national populists, libertarians, Democrats, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.640 foreign policy hawks and doves, and many others. If you're 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.000 an optimist, you will see in this a ministry of 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.680 all the talents, the convening of a broad church that 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.560 reflects the dynamic pluralism America, pluralism of America. If you're 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.400 a pessimist, you might worry that it will turn out 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.160 to have all the efficiency and unity of purpose of 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.680 a first grade field trip. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:46.280 Yeah. He hints that maybe, uh, you get appointed if 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.760 you kiss Donald Trump's butt, no matter what your ideology is, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.120 and that it may be a government by whim. But 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:59.280 at the same time, group think is no good. And 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.080 if Trump up against like this labor secretary gal, she 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.960 has got to go right away the Senate, I hope 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:10.160 will punt her halfway to Pennsylvania. But you know, if 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.960 you don't execute Trump's, you know, his vision for the country, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.400 he'll get rid of you. Oh right, It's not like 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.520 you're gonna tell him what to do. He does whatever 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:24.040 he wants to do. Yeah, so, yeah, there's some odd 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.160 choices there, but yeah, that's one take diversity of opinion. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:28.560 I like it. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.600 But if you're a Democrat and you come up with 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.440 a cabinet like that of advisors, you're doing the whole 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.280 Lincoln Team of Rivals thing. If you're Trump and you 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.400 do it, you're just a whack job. If you're a 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.920 Democrat and you appoint somebody who's Indian American, it's the 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.320 first Indian American person that's ever been the first whatever, 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.640 blah blah blah. If you're Trump, it's just you pick 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.560 out what's wrong with this person and forget the fact 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:50.200 that they're Indian. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.720 He's an idiot who shouldn't be in the job, right, 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.040 Sure you need to know about that person. Yeah, they're 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.680 utterly dishonest, which is why they're dying once again. 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.680 Yeah, so turn out, yet another overly educated rich kid 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.119 does something heinous and in this case, shot the CEO 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.000 of United Healthcare. 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.159 They caught the guy yesterday. His background really interesting in 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:17.359 revealing stay with us Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.000 It starts off basically with an apology saying, you know, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.280 I do apologize for any strife or trauma, but it 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.840 had to be done. It talks about these parasites had 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.960 it coming. And within the document before kind of the 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.320 latter part of the document where he rails against the 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.600 healthcare industry, he talks about he acted alone and was 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:44.480 self financed. Now there's a question why does this document exist? 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.879 You know, people say, well, maybe he wanted to be caught. 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.159 He had the gun, he had the document. There is 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.479 another point of view, which is that he was planning 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.880 to strike again, maybe at some other executive or target, 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.359 and that the manifesto was either going to be left 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.800 or sent to police or sent to the media. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.040 Or both are true. That's John Miller on CNN. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.800 I'm talking about the nutjob killer that got apprehended at 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:12.200 the McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania yesterday. He killed that poor 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.800 CEO of United Healthcare. So this job kid was reading 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.920 the unibomber's manifesto online, actually reviewing it on a couple 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.280 of different websites and liking it, which would lead me 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.480 to believe absolutely he was planning on striking it. He 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.119 thought he was going to be I assume like a 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.479 unibomber guy that everybody wondered where he was for years 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.119 as he got to go around the country being a 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:33.920 evil Robin Hood. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:34.840 Right. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.960 There were several aspects of the whole thing, is it 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.240 unfolded that made me think either he wanted to be 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.080 caught or he because I'm going to refer to him 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.760 as a self important twit because that's what he is. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.600 Who thought he was he was the guy who knew 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.720 so much and understood so much and was so righteous 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.040 a purpose he gets to kill people to change the world. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:03.520 Just incredible hubris. But yeah, he wants to be known 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.320 as the hero he sees himself to be for all 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.119 of his back problems and you know, he had probably 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.000 problems with the insurance companies or was on pills. I 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.160 don't even know all this stuff, but I just think 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.000 it's as Noah Rothman of the National Review put it. 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.320 Who could have imagined that the alleged murderer whose violence 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.480 was being celebrated by a lot of two online over 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.359 educated white leftists would turn out to be a too online, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:35.360 over educated white leftist. Sure he was the Carl Marxian 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.680 rich kid who fancied themselves as the savior of something 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.760 or other, became radicalized, and once you become radicalized. We 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:45.800 were talking about this early in the show. It's it's 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.160 almost like falling love or being really really angry. Your 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:56.080 capacity to make rational decisions just goes away. And that's 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.119 why you know, people who are very smart do and 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:04.200 say idiot things. They're blinded by their their activism. If 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:05.040 he was planning on. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.160 Making this a career, at least for a little while, 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.240 you would think you wouldn't have gone into a Starbucks 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.240 the day before, and I've been unaware of the fact 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.520 that you're on camera everywhere you go, and then gone 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.400 into a McDonald's after the murderer. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.720 Yeah, I would not be going into McDonald's and sitting 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.200 there maskless and munching on my egg McMuffin, right if 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.440 I wanted to elude capture. I don't know anyway. In 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:43.439 reviewing the Unibomber's screed, he said, quote, ye had the 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.080 balls to recognize that peaceful protest has gotten us absolutely nowhere, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:48.680 and at the end of the day, he's probably right. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.840 When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.080 to survive. You may not like his methods, but to 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.080 see things from his perspective, it's not terrorism, it's war 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.560 and revolution. That's interesting. 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.440 I live in the town where the unibomber struck and 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.480 killed and hurt people. Actually, the university and the un 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.359 obomber accomplished nothing. Dude, you don't know You've got that 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:11.879 out by watching he accomplish nothing. 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.160 Right, so insurance companies to engage in some abuses. Therefore, 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.480 I'm going to blow a bunch of people's fingers off, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.320 like the unibomber killed a couple, right, or like this 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.520 guy going to shoot down a guy. What do you 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.400 think You're notited? Healthcare is going to go away now? 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.280 Or are they going to hire another CEO is going 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.560 to do roughly the same things, you stupid, self important moron. 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:34.240 I hate to say this because I don't like it 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.600 to be true at all, but I've heard a lot 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:43.200 of conversations about healthcare costs, insurance, what's fair, what's not fair? Etc. 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.440 Since the shooting. Well, it's like we've said many times 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.720 about the school shooters, who their grievances. The networks deal 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.000 with them is I tell you what you can buy 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.080 our attention with blood. You've got to give me a 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.840 lot of victims, you got to give me a lot 0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.639 of horror. And if you do I will read your 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:04.040 complaint to America and this is the same thing, and I, 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:05.720 you know, I don't want to participate in it. But 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.399
