Yeah, boy, madness everywhere. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.000 The jocularity of earlier in the week. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.919 Huh so a private on air meeting here, everybody go 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.279 about your business.

It is freaking good. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.920 Maybe we could just play another chunk of it that 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.239 we haven't played yet. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.360 Yeah, it's amazing and it makes a heck of a 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:38.560 point over what I think will be the defining legacy 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.400 of Joe Biden's presidency. Yeah, and there were plenty that 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.440 could have been, but this is going to be the 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.840 one that's going to be remembered, I think. I mean, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.719 and unless he issues these blanket pardons over the next 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.480 couple of weeks, then that will be more blanket party. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.880 And if you missed the screed from what was it 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.440 hour two we talked about this, I think it was yeah, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.959 hour two via podcast Armstrong and getting on demand. You 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:03.880 probably ought to subscribe. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.800 But the thing I pointed out that I think is 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.520 brutally shockingly under discussed in all of this, the hunter 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.520 Biden pardon, the gun crime all right, the tax crimes, 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.920 the hypocrisy, the fact that Joe Biden lied over and 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.160 over knowing he was going to pardon him, the fact 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.920 that the Left made such a big deal over it. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.920 It's really tempting and fun stuff. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:30.280 The idea that you would pardon someone, anyone for anything 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.959 they might have done, known or unknown, over a period 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:39.199 of eleven years, is a horror, an obscenity against the constitution, 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.880 so unthinkable. There should be a half million people marching 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:49.240 on the White House right now to declare any human 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.960 being completely above the law, not tax law, not gun 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:59.440 lawst all laws, every law for a long period of time. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:05.000 Wait a minute, what Why are people not shocked by this? 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.280 If they just not thought it through? I guess because Trump, well, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.000 and as I pointed out earlier, any president could realize, Okay, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.160 this is a tool I have and order their cabinet, 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.679 there underlings, their cronies whatever to commit all manner of unholy, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.720 unconstitutional acts. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.800 But he's got a written agreement with them. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.880 I will pardon you in advance for anything you might 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.560 have done during the period that you work for me. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:30.840 Yeah. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.120 Like, so if you have to murder people, you have 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.120 to form an alliance with China, loot the treasury, anything 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:37.960 you do anything. 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.120 Yeah, Nixon could have told the plumbers the break in 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.760 crew your pardoned.

So 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.839 many movies we all loved. I want to talk a 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.120 little bit about that. Spent a lot of time pondering 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.880 it last night. I didn't know he was this kind 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.560 of guy. Actually, among other things, We've got coming up 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:10.000 to stay with. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.080 Us Armstrong and. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.760 They had the National Christmas Tree lighting at the White House. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:22.560 It was a fun night. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.440 When President Biden came out, all the kids were like, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.440 let the gost to Christmas past. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:28.320 Forget this. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.920 After strong winds knock last year's tree to the ground, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.000 this year's tree will be supported by eight steel cables. Yeah, 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.240 these are the same cables the White House uses to 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.560 walk Biden around the front lawn. 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:43.000 And that's exact same Wow, the same ones. Wow. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.199 So why was I up last night late watching Jim 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.280 Carrey pontificate about the meaning of life? I didn't even 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.280 know actor Jim Carrey did that sort of thing. I've 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.960 never been a Jim Carrey fan. I like dumb and dumber, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.400 and I pet detective and all that, but I like 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.720 to stand up. But I just I hated the Truman Show. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.400 I just I don't know. I've never been into him. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.559 I thought he was a pompous ass until last night 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.800 when I clicked on a Jim Carrey short and he 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.959 was talking about actually was talking about forgiveness and Jesus 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.480 and all kinds of different stuff. I didn't know he 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.520 was such a believer, but he is. And the reason 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.440 I got sucked into that probably was stuff I was 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:28.000 looking for. 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:29.160 I am uh. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.440 I got divorced three and a half years ago, and 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.679 I am not happy with where my life is. I 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.440 don't like the fact that I am a single dad 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.040 and my kids are living up in a living growing 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.160 up in a split household. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:42.760 I hate that. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.080 I hate it so much, and I haven't been able 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.400 to accept it and let it go at it all 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.080 since the day I found out about it, which is 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.960 which is not healthy, because. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.560 You got no choice with certain things that come your 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.800 way in life. You got no choice. You You you 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.040 got to accept him and move on. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.240 And I've done that with everything in my life, everything 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.160 every in my life, all kinds of bad things that 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.720 happened in my life except for this one. And I 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.240 haven't been able to nudge an inch on this one 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:11.320 for some reason. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:12.560 And it drives me nuts. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.640 Probably because you're reminded of the effects of it all 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:16.000 the time. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.439 Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah, is the effects of 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.320 it are all day, every day. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.960 But anyway, so I got into this this somehow I 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.440 was fed through the algorithm this stuff about Jim Carrey, 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.080 and it was bigger than even that. It was just 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:33.360 the idea of you know, now is all we've got, 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.840 and accepting life for what it is and not having expectations. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.960 And really his main thing is just getting rid. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.080 Of your idea of who you are, because it's all 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.880 made up in your head anyway, and just living your life, 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.840 you know, moment by moment best you can by your 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.600 morals and visions of what you want, but just letting 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:55.840 go of your whole. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.120 Vision of yourself. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.360 His belief is everybody's torment, depression and all kinds of 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.960 different stuff comes from a vision they have of who 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.960 they are, who they wanted to be, and it's not 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.480 meeting up with reality and if you just let go 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.000 of all of that because you created it in your 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.400 own mind. It wasn't like, you know, God said, this 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.880 is who you have to pretend to be the rest 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.360 of your life, if you just let go of all 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:29.200 of that. He said he had the kind of like 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.320 gift of becoming rich and successful and all these different 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.800 things and realizing it didn't make him happy before he 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.360 was able to let go of all that stuff. Not 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.760 everybody has that opportunity. But just to really realize that 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.520 didn't do anything. That didn't help me at all. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:44.240 Yeah. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.880 Boy, there are a million directions to go with this discussion. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.400 It's very deep and very interesting. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.680 And I had like a brief five minute period of 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.720 like really understanding it while I was laying in bed 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.080 last night and thinking, I think I can do this. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:56.920 This is the answer. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.120 Let going, letting go of the vision of what I 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.240 I thought life was going to. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.560 Be because it's not going to be that. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.520 It's stupid to stay nailed to that and try to 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.440 force a square pagan too a round hole. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.120 It'll never work. But then I lost it when I 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.440 got up this morning. Well that's disappointed. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.240 Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll get it back later today, 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.680 or maybe you have to work at it over time. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:17.400 I don't know. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.480 This is silly and trivial compared to that question. But 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.160 I ran into somebody the other day who somebody said, 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.720 it is what it is, and they expressed that I 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:24.160 hate that. 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:25.720 They said, I hate that expression. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.400 And then and I realize any expression, if it's overused, 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:29.360 becomes very annoying. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.480 But it is what it is. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.280 Is the expression of an ancient, ancient piece of wisdom. 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.080 It'shist it is saying yeah, it's straight out of Buddhism, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.840 it's straight of Christianity. It is saying amen, it is saying, 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.480 so be it. I have accepted it. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.080 Yeah. Yeah. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.440 And I always like this phrase of if something doesn't 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.400 have a solution, it's not a problem. Dealing with everything 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.920 like it's a problem doesn't make any sense. Things without 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.000 a solution are a fact, they're not a problem. And 0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.640 so now I just go on with your life. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.480 Yeah, well, it does help to kind of stop and 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:10.240 contemplate this stuff and try to figure out which is which. Right, 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.399 Like you had your moment of clarity, then it was 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.480 time to go to work, and didn't I had it 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.080 up here a second ago. 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:17.600 That's the tough part. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.320 Armstrong and Getty got a lot of interesting texts, as 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:27.919 you might imagine, around that whole acceptance, you know, dealing 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.080 with life, letting go of. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.639 Your self and just living in the moment, all that 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.320 sort of stuff. Oh, all of them very interesting and 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.359 I have read them, so appreciate you weighing on the 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.960 text line at four one nine five k FDC. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.359 Indeed, Yeah, at the risk of going off on that 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:48.240 tangent because it's such an interesting topic, well we won't, 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.399 but drop us an email as well, mail bag at 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.119 Armstrong and Geeddy dot com if you want, maybe, well 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.200 we'll knock them around on Monday. So was just reading 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.440 Nelly Bowls with the Free Press, who writes a fabulous 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:03.280 column on Fridays, and she goes into gives many, many 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:08.679 examples of media commentators, various folks who said that Joe 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.720 Biden saying he would not pardon his son was such 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.520 an incredible sign of virtue, and how he's so different 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:20.480 from Republicans and blah blah blah blah blah, and how 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.639 grandiose it all was. I won't go on because we're 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.919 about to play a ton of examples, but there is 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.520 a punchline. A punchline to be enjoyed after those examples 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.199 are played that I've just become really aware of, So 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:34.400 we'll share that with some a minute. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.000 So this is many minutes of this, And we kind 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.160 of debated during the commercials how much we would play, 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.240 but we all felt like, since we listened to the 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.080 whole nine minutes, we're not gonna play the whole nine minutes. 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.720 But it builds it like it makes up its length, 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.320 makes a point on its own. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.560 It's like the guitar solo and free bird. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.040 It wouldn't be the same thing if it were shorter, right, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:57.240 So dig this. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.920 I think Joe Biden has a chance here to stay 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.200 up for the rule of law, to say the rule 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.879 the law is the law, no matter who it is, 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.240 no matter if it's Trump or Biden. And remember, part 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.840 of trump ISM's dangerousness is that it tears down institutions, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.560 important institutions of our democracy. So there is an opportunity 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.720 here for Biden to say, you know, the jury found 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:24.639 him guilty. This is how it's supposed to work. Period paragraph, 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:25.359 end of story. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.879 Have you ruled out a pardon for your son? Yes? 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.399 As I said last week, I will accept the outcome 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.200 of this case and will continue to respect the judicial 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.159 process as Hunter considers an appeal. You know, the President 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:37.040 said he won't touch it. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:38.160 He said he's not going. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.880 To pardon his son, and it seems that Mayor Garland let. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:41.320 It go through. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.880 How can the Justice Department be weaponized against Trump when 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:45.200 all of. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:45.760 That is happening. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.200 But Democrats stand for the rule of law, remember law 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.520 and order, you know, and we've been saying that Trump's 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.439 not above the law. Hunter Biden's not above the law. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.240 No one is above the law. And it is amazing 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.320 to see the stark contrast between how Democrats handled today 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.280 and how Republicans handled this whole thing over the last 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:03.919 couple of weeks. 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.680 Their latest attack has been that Joe Biden has politicized 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.719 and weaponized the DOJ. Right, that was the whole argument 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.240
