1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Showy Armstrong and Jettiating and he. 3 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: Arm Drawn. Get Doctor Anthony Fauci is a really bad 4 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: human being? Oh yeah, I don't know if history is 5 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: going to portray him that way, but he is live 6 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 2: from Studio C season your dimly lit room, deep within 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound, where 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: we have already been watching the hearing Rand Paul and 9 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 2: Anthony Fauci and others. 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: Today we are toiling under the title of the show, 11 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: Grouchy Fauci ignores pardon takes fifth or and I like 12 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: this one too, The zombie of Communism. 13 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: Walks the streets eating young brains. 14 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: I am so despondent. Oh that's a poor way to 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: start theday. Well, there's two reasons. Okay, there's probably more 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: than two, but two main reasons right One this, Uh, 17 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: most hearings aren't important. This is an important one today, 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: and still nothing is gonna come out of it. 19 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: Nothing. 20 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 3: Ever, there are no consequences for anything in modern life. 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: There just aren't. There never are, And that's that's depressing. 22 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: The other thing I'm desponded. Is just because I'm so 23 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: tired because I can't get my soon to be junior 24 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: high schooler to not be loud at night and wake 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: me up. I just haven't had any He's having a 26 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: good time this summer, him and his friends. But told 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: him last week there's gonna be It's gonna be a 28 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: day because I told him last week, I said, if 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 3: that happens again, there's gonna be be of major changes 30 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: to your schedule. I got, well, I got woken out 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: of such a deep sleep last night. You know where 32 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: you're like, you don't even know who you are. 33 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: You're in such gosh, the deepest of your middle of 34 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: the night's sleep. And uh, I didn't get to sleep 35 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: for hours after that, and I was trying to turn 36 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: off my anger. That's a bad way to be, I know. 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: It's just like I told him so many times, I 38 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: have to work. I'm so porty of paying for everything 39 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: that family tells. 40 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: I got work out of dot dot. I just couldn't 41 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: get back to sleep. Wow, anyway, so that doesn't help 42 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: my mood. 43 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: To turn on the hearing today can some up pretty 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: well what they're hearing. It just started like right before 45 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: we went on the air today and knowing can sum 46 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: up because nothing new is gonna happen. He's taking the 47 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: fifth on every single question, as Rand Paul pointed out, 48 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: including do you have a file. 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: In front of you? And Anthony Fauci wouldn't answer the question. 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: With the angle, and unfortunately the Democratic chair of the committee, 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 3: I don't remember his name going at the angle. Also 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: that Rand Paul, the chair of the Committee, has just 53 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: got some sort of weird personal obsession with doctor Fauci 54 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 3: and hates him so much that he just can't let 55 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: go of what is an old story, digging up things 56 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: we answered years ago when we've got all kinds of 57 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: work to do. The American people want us to focus 58 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: on the future and work on making this country ready 59 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: for the next pandemic, not look at things that we've 60 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: discussed years ago. That's what the Democrat said, And then 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci basically said the same thing in his opening 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: statement and then said I'm taking the fifth on every question. Right, 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: millions of people are dead. We know it's time to 64 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 3: move on, says Caldwell or whatever. The ranking members is despicable. Yeah, 65 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: what's disappointing about that is, there was a time not 66 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: that long ago. We're on big issues, the republic consend 67 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 3: Democrats in the big committees like your important committee's judicial, 68 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: you know, some of the investigative committees, that sort of stuff, 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: where they would work together, where they would they would 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: they would not be partisans. But that era is clearly over. 71 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: The Democratic chair of this committee being just a flat 72 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: out partisan, acting like there's nothing new or interesting in 73 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: these diaries. 74 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding. I also got. 75 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: Worked up because, in the middle of the night, because 76 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 3: I was awake because my teenager woke me up, I 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: watched some of Mark Alpern's afternoon show yesterday, and. 78 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: He was incensed with the media coverage. He said, I'm 79 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: so angry. 80 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say about this, the 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: fact that all of the media except for Fox and 82 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: The New York Post are ignoring the Fauci di diaries 83 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: and acting like they're a non story. And he said, 84 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: this is this is Biden all over again. Yeah, you 85 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: ignored something that was clearly wrong to start with, pretending 86 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: that there's no possibility that the virus came out of 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: Wuhan lab. And then when we've got proof that it 88 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: was a lie. You don't even own up to it 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: at that point. It's depressing. It's even worse than that. 90 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: And I'm not quibbling. I want to point out that 91 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: this we were discussing yesterday. The Wall Street Journal editorial 92 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 3: board absolutely brought the thunder on this and was talking 93 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: about the absolute smoking gun nature of the diary entries, 94 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: that if Howci had lied, he had covered up, he 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: had made comments in public, official statements in public diametrically 96 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: opposed to what he personally believed, and the rest of it, 97 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: and if there is still wilful. 98 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: La la la, la la. 99 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: La, nothing to he you see here from major media 100 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 3: outlets after the Journal went that big, you get you 101 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: get a sense of the the severity of the problem. 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: These people have no interest in the truth in so 103 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 3: far as it might upset their narrative. As you said, 104 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: on the big committees before, you know, people were quote 105 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: unquote partisan, but they were. There was an eighty percent 106 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: of overlap, maybe seventy percent overlap. Here, there's a zero 107 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: percent overlap. This is completely out of line, and there's 108 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: nothing to see here. Say the Democrats about something that 109 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: killed millions of people, destroyed children's educations and their souls. 110 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: The whole thing we've gone over to a million times 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: across the economy, led to rampant inflation. 112 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 113 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: We're talking to Greg Lukianov yesterday on our podcast. You 114 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 3: should check it out Armstrong and Getty on Demand actually 115 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: an extra large episode but anyway, automatically downloads if you 116 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: subscribed Armstrong and Getty on Demand. He made the point 117 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: that if we had recognized what it was and held 118 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: China's feet to the fire right away, maybe we could have, 119 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: you know, trapped this virus in China in early December 120 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: where that's when it was still only in China, and 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: it would have saved millions of lives. And again, the 122 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: money ain't nothing. Lives are more important. But it's the 123 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: most expensive event in world history. Yeah, and you know, 124 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: it's not like there's any benefit to the spending either. 125 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just just a loss of money. And 126 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: then Anthony Fauci, because of his involvement in the Wuhan 127 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: lab and the media and the Democratic Party decided to 128 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: cover up for the Communist Chinese because Trump, I guess, 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: uh partly Yeah. Well, and once you go down the 130 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 3: road of lies. You know, Oh what a tangled web 131 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: we weave, et cetera. Once you've lied about something that 132 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: incredibly important and heavy and expensive and deadly and then decided, oh, 133 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: we've got to cover up those lies. Soon you find 134 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: yourself so far down that road there's no coming back. Apparently, 135 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: that's the only thing I can guess. I'm like Mark Halpern, 136 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: I'm so disturbed by this anew I'm not sure what 137 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: to do. Have shut down emotionally so I don't go crazy. Well, 138 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: and Halprind's point of anger is that not that you 139 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: need to care about legacy media, because they need to 140 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 3: be around for everybody, But we need some media we trust, 141 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: and they've blown up their credibility and they have no 142 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: interest in rebuilding it. So there's just no media that 143 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: a most of America will trust. So there's no going 144 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: forward with shared facts. There just isn't on any topic, 145 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: and you can't operate that way. Imagine if you tried 146 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: to do that in your house, where you've got a 147 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: set of facts and your wife has a set of 148 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: facts and they're completely different, and you operate like that. 149 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine how many disagreements. 150 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: You'd have or mistakes you'd have, Well, what if even 151 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: worse than that, your entire identity was she's always wrong? 152 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so. 153 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 3: Even when she's completely right, you recognize that, you think, well, 154 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: this is uncomfortable. But I've got to deny it. I've 155 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 3: got to come up with some explanation why she's wrong, 156 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: because my identity and all of my followers' identity is 157 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 3: that person is always wrong, or that side of the 158 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: aisle is always wrong. So I can't even I can't 159 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: admit it. That's diseased, that's toxic. Yeah, and that is 160 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: the house divided, that cannot stand a Lincoln. And then 161 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 3: you've got the country if we had a pandemic. Now 162 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: nobody trusts the government, or at least certainly half the 163 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: country doesn't trust the government at all to listen to 164 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: anything they say. 165 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: I know, I wouldn't none of it. 166 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: I mean, there are more dire interests because there are 167 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred pages or whatever they came out, and more 168 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: people have dug through them. There's more stuff in there 169 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: about how made up all this crap was. They knew 170 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: the masks didn't do much, they knew the standing six 171 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: feet apart was completely made It up in a waste 172 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: of time. I mean, they knew all this stuff was crap, 173 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: so there's no point listening to these people. Ever, of 174 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: course they used the point of law on some of 175 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: this stuff even though they knew it was crap. But again, 176 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 3: as the ranking member made clear, there's no reason to 177 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: look at this. 178 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: This is the past. 179 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to get answers to questions we answered years ago. Hey, 180 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 3: mister ranking member, somebody murdered your wife yesterday. Would you 181 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 3: be interested in looking into it today? Huh, because that's 182 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: in the. 183 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Past, or ten years ago. If you caught the guy today, 184 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: what we're trying to answer a question to a crime 185 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: from ten years ago? 186 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 3: Or if you went broke a year ago and you've 187 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: you've now cleared bankruptcy, you have no interest in why 188 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: you went bankrupt making a mistake. We're making a mistake 189 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 3: in arguing against his presentation as if he meant it, 190 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: he knows that that's crap. Oh no, I'm not arguing 191 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: with him. I'm pointing out to the good people, how 192 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: how how unholy he and that argument is he should 193 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: have just put up a sign that said I'm going 194 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 3: to stay in my tribe. Then we would have He 195 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: would have saved five minutes. My tribe is with Fauci. Yeah, yeah, 196 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: I tell you what. From legal point of view, this 197 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: is at least marginally interesting. Anthony Fauci had a blanket 198 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: pardon from Joe Biden. Weird, unprecedented, like anything you did 199 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 3: in the pastor or is it any I don't think 200 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: it's any future act. You can't do that because that 201 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: would be like giving somebody a license to kill. But 202 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: so Fauci can't be prosecuted for anything he did if 203 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: the pardon holds up. His excuse was Ran Paul is 204 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: going to try to cleverly trick me into saying something 205 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: and then prosecute me for that. So that's why I'm 206 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: going with the Fifth Amendment. But Ran Paul is talking 207 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: about entirely what happened. 208 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: And so if a. 209 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: Guy with a blanket pardon won't explain his anxious his 210 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: actions in the past, either you buy his story that 211 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: Rand Paul is a demented, evil genius trying to entrap him, 212 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: or he's got enormous, deadly secret to hide. I can 213 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: tell you which way I'm leaning. Yeah, we'll talk more 214 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: about this throughout the show. I don't know if anything 215 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: exciting is going to happen from here on out. I mean, 216 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: all the senators will get their shot at their questions, 217 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: but he's not going to answer any of them. 218 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. It's just freaking depressing. 219 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 3: There are no consequences in the modern world, whether you're 220 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: somebody who rips off a CVS or you're running the 221 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 3: biggest health organization in the world. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's 222 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: Joe Getty on this it is How did it get 223 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 3: to be Wednesday, July twenty ninth, Here, twenty twenty six. 224 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: We are armstrong and getting and we approve of this program. 225 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: All right, We're going to take all the damn amendments 226 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: and proceed officially according to FCC rules and regulations.

I 232 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 3: was also disappointed how little news coverage that got. I 233 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 3: went to my cable news channels, most of them stuck 234 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: with the regular pre recorded shows. Didn't even think it 235 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: was worth breaking in with breaking news that we're in 236 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: a war in that country broke a mini cease fire 237 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: by attacking one of our bases. 238 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Luckily we were. 239 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: Able to shoot down the missiles and nobody got hurt. 240 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: But it was a major attack, major escalation in the war. 241 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia is now involved. Didn't really make the news, 242 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: so I don't even know what to do anymore. 243 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to think. 244 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: I wish I could tell you we got to take 245 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 3: a break. We'll come back with headlines and more of 246 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: the good stuff for you. 247 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: I help. 248 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: I hate away in textas or email.

She'll have to tell us about 252 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: it when she comes back. I'm kind of interested in 253 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 3: how that went. So she's not here today, and we'll 254 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: have to tell you about the headlines before we move 255 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: on with some the Anthony Fauci Ran Paul stuff from 256 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: the hearing. There's not a lot because he's taking the 257 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: fifth on every question, but there is. 258 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: One amusing moment. 259 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: The biggest headline to me is yesterday afternoon US time, 260 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: Iran attacked big time a US military base. We are 261 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: able to shoot down all the ballistic missiles, thank god. 262 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 3: But it was a major attack and then we struck 263 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: them back. I don't know how hard yet. We're going 264 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 3: to talk to Mike Lyons later this morning about all this. 265 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: But we Saudi Arabia with US, the first time they've 266 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: like openly declared being part of attacking Iran. 267 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: So that's a big deal. 268 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: And one more thing on Iran before we move on 269 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 3: to other headlines. Reuters is reporting Iran is expected to 270 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: receive within weeks its first shipment of four hundred Chinese 271 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: made shoulder fired air. 272 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: Defense missile launchers. 273 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: So China's sending Iran more stuff to shoot down US planes. 274 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: That sounds a little war spready to me. I know, ah, 275 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: oh boy, you want to hear an interesting media contrast. 276 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: Free Press has nothing about the Iran attack yesterday in 277 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: their headlines, which surprises me. Wall Street Journal it's their 278 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: lead news story on the site, Iran launches surprise missile 279 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: attack on US forces. New York Times in their war 280 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: updates US and Saudi air strikes drag more countries into fighting, So. 281 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: We did something to make the war worse. 282 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 3: Wow, And it wasn't a surprise attack by Iran, and 283 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: we dragged more countries. And then I read that update 284 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: and the countries were Iraq, well, and they say and Yemen. 285 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: But the hoho, this have already been active. But so 286 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: the US tragged the. 287 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: Who sees in? 288 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: According to the New York Times, well, and the headline 289 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: doesn't mention that after four days of a relative peace, 290 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: Iran started it back up. 291 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: That would lead you to believe that we started it 292 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: back up, right? 293 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh, they make that absolutely clear, even though 294 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal makes it clear that the strikes 295 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: shortly after the Iranian strikes on Jordan, the American military said, 296 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: US and Saudi jet fighters and launch strikes in Iraq 297 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 3: against the Iran back groups that the IRGC previously directed 298 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: to attack American and Saudi infrastructive, American troops in Saudi 299 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 3: energy infrastructure. 300 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: So anyway, it's it's back on. 301 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: Trump is making more bellicost threats, whether he follows through. 302 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: On them or not. As anybody's guess, I've. 303 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: Got a Babylon B headline for you, which normally Katie 304 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: or Heather ends this segment with here's your babble. The 305 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: headline Fauci asks China to engineer a new virus that 306 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: just kills Rand. Paul Wow Wow, a long time friend 307 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 3: of the Armstrong and Getty show, Mike the Lawyer, pointed 308 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: out that, oh, so the nine to eleven commission was 309 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: a waste of time in the Kennedy assassination. Is were 310 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 3: all looking back at the past, So a waste of 311 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: time according to the Dems. 312 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: Rand versus Fauci. We'll have a little of that for 313 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: you now, Armstrong and Getty. So I mentioned I watched 314 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Mark Alprin's. 315 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: Whatever he calls his show that's on I watch on 316 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 3: YouTube in the afternoon, my favorite news show. Really he 317 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 3: was so upset with the media coverage of the Fauci 318 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: thing that they don't feel like there's any news there 319 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: and what that means for the country going forward, of 320 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: not having a mainstream news that's interested in facts and 321 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 3: the truth that that half the country can see before 322 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: the very eyes. I mean, so it's not like you're 323 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 3: getting away with it. Well, it's yeah, how what's the 324 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: level of your will full blindness? I mean, if you 325 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 3: ignore a minor flap in the Department of the Interior 326 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 3: because it doesn't really suit your side. Okay, I get that, 327 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: but if the president assassinates the vice president on the 328 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: South lawn, you ignore that. That's a whole different deal. Well, 329 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 3: you know what part of it is. And because we're 330 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: in media, we know this. There's a big crunch for 331 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: revenue in all media, especially legacy media. Newspapers are struggling, TV, 332 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: radio industry not near what it was, you know, twenty 333 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 3: years ago whatever. 334 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: So everybody, Washington Post is hemorrhaging cash for. 335 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: Everybody's really struggling to keep their doors open, and you know, 336 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 3: laying off people left and right and that sort of 337 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 3: stuff in all your legacy media radio, television and newspapers. 338 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people have just gone 339 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: with the we've got a core audience of this political view. 340 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: We're not gonna. 341 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 3: Give them something to you know, hate, We're only gonna 342 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: give them something to like. And so if you're CNN 343 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: or The New York Times, I guess you feel like 344 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 3: nobody in our audience wants to hear anti fauci stuff. 345 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: What are we doing here. 346 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 3: We're barely keeping the electric bill paid as it is, 347 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: I think. 348 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: That's part of it. That is absolutely part of it. 349 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: You have an audience, you need to plead to please 350 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: them because some sort of grand and honorable quest to 351 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 3: return to your roots and find a newer, bigger, more reasonable. No, 352 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 3: you don't have the time, you don't have the money, 353 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: which is why I brought up the other day. The 354 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: Free pet Press had that piece on like the new 355 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: media being whoever it is that emerges that there seems 356 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 3: to be an audience out there for people who aren't 357 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: doing that, who are trying to tell the truth as 358 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: they see it, and and those people are starting to 359 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 3: do pretty well. 360 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: And I hope you know, we're included in that crowd. Right. 361 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: Luckily we got you know, another three and a half 362 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: years or whatever, are on contract. 363 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: To keep to keep doing this. 364 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: But it's just it's it's incredible. There is a diary 365 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: entry a way, don't have to read it again. We 366 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 3: weread it ten times yesterday where Anthony Fauci flat out 367 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: states I've looked at the research. I now know that 368 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 3: it came out of the lab, that it didn't come 369 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: out of the wet market. The wet market exacerbated it 370 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 3: once it escaped from the lab, but that's not where 371 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: it started. 372 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: He states that in his diary entry. 373 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 3: Then like the next day, there are clips floating around 374 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 3: of him being on cable news channels. 375 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: Saying we don't know, you do know. 376 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 3: And that's why Mark calpertoned to show yesterday said the 377 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: guy's a liar. 378 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: The man is a liar, and. 379 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 3: The mainstream media is not willing to say that, even 380 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: though it's right there in black and white. 381 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: We're in a hell of a spot we are. 382 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: So here's some choice moments from the early parts of 383 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 3: the hearing doctor Fauci's statement to why he's taking the fifth, 384 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: and then we'll play Rand Paul's couple of replies. I 385 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 3: just tuned back in and Democrats are still saying Trump 386 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: is cut funding for the such and such. Could that 387 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: lead to a new explosion of athletes foot fungus, doctor Fauci. 388 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: But of course, because you know he's taking the fifth 389 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: on everything, he repeats on the be havelf of my counsel, 390 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: take the fifth. So the way the fifth works, you 391 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: can't answer some of the questions and just take the 392 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: fifth on other questions. Yeah, that's by far what an 393 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: attorney would say. 394 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: Don't pick and choose. 395 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: Don't don't do that because there are laws specifically about that. 396 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 3: I don't know what they are, but yes, in answer 397 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: to your question, yes, so we'll play Clip fifty. Here's 398 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: how the foucher opened with his opening statement of lies. 399 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 4: Given Senator Poll's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, 400 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 4: his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly 401 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 4: releasing my my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and 402 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that 403 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 4: the sole reason he is calling me before this committee 404 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 4: is to get me to say something, anything, that could 405 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in 406 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 4: his words quote behind bars unquote.

If you watch a CBS evening news, you 495 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 3: probably won't even know this hearing happened. 496 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: Uh so that's unfortunate, but rain. 497 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 3: Most people get their news through TikTok and Facebook, so 498 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 3: like they but yeah, they still won't know this hearing happened. 499 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: But Rand Paul's opening statement he talked about you know, 500 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 3: you you fought so hard to deny gain of function 501 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: research in the most technical ways. 502 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: You know. 503 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 3: It's like he didn't say this, but it's like Bill 504 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 3: Clinton's depends on what the definition of is is, you know, 505 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 3: really getting to the technicalities of the way a sentence 506 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: is worded as opposed to the overall thing which we 507 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: all know and Rand brought that up that you were 508 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: working on viruses, trying to make viruses as dangerous possible. 509 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: To study them in a Chinese. 510 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 3: Lab, and you know you were, and we all know 511 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 3: you were, and you use all these technical details to 512 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: try to, you know, legally, pretend you weren't right, and 513 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 3: that's absolutely true. I advocate playing that clip. We actually 514 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 3: have it handy if you want to or or or 515 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: he can do, you know, I'd like to do his 516 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 3: whole opening statement maybe next hour, because he makes the 517 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 3: point Americans are not looking for a semantics debate. They 518 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: want to know, is that research dangerous? Is that where 519 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 3: the COVID came from? But again, oh my god, how 520 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: dare he asked those questions? He's so obsessed with doctor 521 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 3: Fauci and doctor Fauci. This is what we're talking about 522 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 3: yesterday is PhD type people often think they're smarter than 523 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: everyone in the world, because they are, but it blinds 524 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 3: to them the certain things. But he thinks the average 525 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 3: population is too dumb to understand how important this is. 526 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: And he can't give any ground or it might get 527 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: shut down. And he and his scientist genius friends are 528 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: going to save the world. 529 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: But you. People are too stupid to understand that, so 530 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: we're not even going to try. Yeah. I despise people 531 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: like that. 532 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: More to come after word from our friends at incogny. 533 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 3: There are thousands of places on the Internet that have 534 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 3: a file with your name and all your info, I mean, 535 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: like your kids' names, how you vote, your medical conditions, 536 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: the rest of it. You can tell them, hey, take 537 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: my stuff down, but there are too many of them, 538 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: that's why. And Cogny is so important, and Cogney goes 539 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: broker by broker and forces each one to delete your file. 540 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 541 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 3: I love that they've got the law on their side 542 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 3: and they can go to those brokers and get into 543 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 3: those opt out forms that are buried. I didn't even 544 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: know there are opt out forms in some of this stuff, 545 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 3: but they are probably in all that giant long thing 546 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: that you accept. Sometimes when you go onto websites anyway 547 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: and Cogny finds them, and when your data tries to 548 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 3: creep back and Cogny. 549 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: Wipes it out again, over and over. 550 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: Just go to it in cognity dot com slash armstrong 551 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 3: right now for sixty percent off.

They never got into 610 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: the school stuff, and that's the stuff that if you 611 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: were a parent of small kids, was just so painful. 612 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 3: Of course, also they didn't live in California where they 613 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 3: shut down the public schools. 614 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: For like three years.

Here's your freedom Love Me quote of 621 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: to Day Love This. This is Thomas Jefferson writing paraphrasing 622 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: the French philosopher Montesquieu, who really came up with the 623 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 3: idea of. 624 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: The balance of. 625 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 3: Power, of checks and balances, I should say, and this 626 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: is pre revolution. Jefferson wrote, the concentration of legislative, executive, 627 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 3: and judicial power in the same hands. And this is 628 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: true even if those hands consisted of Oh, I'm sorry, 629 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 3: I skipped line. The definition of despotic government is concentrating 630 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 3: of legislative, executive, and judicial powers in the same hands. 631 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 3: And he wrote that that was true even if those 632 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 3: hands consisted of a majority of the people. 633 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: Quote. 634 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 3: An elective despotism is just as oppressive as a monarchical one. 635 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Uh. 636 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 3: What is needed is a government quote, in which the 637 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 3: powers of government should be so divided and balanced among 638 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 3: several bodies of magistry, so that not one could transcend 639 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,479 Speaker 3: their limits without being effectually checked and. 640 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: Restrained by the others. 641 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 3: That is exactly the opposite of the Democratic Socialists of 642 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: America platform that wants to get rid of the courts 643 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: in judicial review. They want to get rid of the Senate, 644 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 3: they want to get rid of the presidencies. It exists now, 645 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 3: and everything would be a rubber stamp of one legislative 646 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 3: body an elective despotism, as Jefferson is describing, it's absolutely 647 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 3: right and as on a side Jack in reading, I 648 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 3: got back to Tim's book Proclaiming Liberty. 649 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: Which is just so good. 650 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: It contains, and it's fairly brief, the single most clear, interesting, 651 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 3: fascinating description of why, for instance, Thomas Jefferson from when 652 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 3: he was young, was absolutely leading the parade for ending 653 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: slavery in the slave trade. He was crusading against slavery 654 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 3: to the point that it almost cost him his career. 655 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 3: Yet he wasn't in favor of the emancipation of the slaves, 656 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: as you would understand it at the time. 657 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: People say, oh, he's a hypocrite. He wrote those words, 658 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: but he didn't mean it. Blah blah blah. 659 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 3: Great explanation of that coming up later on the show. 660 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 3: Hope you can stay tuned.

My wife and I 665 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 3: disagree politically, so that means we follow different news sources. 666 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 3: Almost every day, one of us brings up a major 667 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 3: news story that the other one hasn't even heard about. 668 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 3: It's not that we disagree, we just haven't heard the story. 669 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 3: So if a news story isn't covered by who we 670 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 3: personally choose, it's like it's not happening. 671 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: Tiring and a bit demoralizing.
