Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong, and Jett
Speaker 1: Kid and he.
Speaker 2: Arms range.
Speaker 1: Live. I'm from Studio C Hey gimli let room deep
Speaker 1: within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound,
Speaker 1: and hey y'all, today we're toiling under the title of
Speaker 1: Joe Getty's Playing Golf. That's the title. So it's just
Speaker 1: me and a whole bunch of guests that we've lined
Speaker 1: up for the show today. Talked about a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different interesting things that are in the news and
Speaker 1: aren't in the news, and I hope you can stick around,
Speaker 1: and I think it will be damned interesting. Man. I
Speaker 1: am riveted by Trump's visit to China right now and
Speaker 1: taking in as much news as I can on the
Speaker 1: whole thing. And I don't know if y'all have, but
Speaker 1: definitely the headline was how aggressive President she and his
Speaker 1: people have been talking about Taiwan and the hey, we're
Speaker 1: taking Taiwan and don't think about getting the way, We're
Speaker 1: willing to go to war with it, basically what they said,
Speaker 1: and not much, not softened much from the way I
Speaker 1: just presented it, which is definitely the most harsh they've
Speaker 1: been in any of the meetings with US presidents. And
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is, so there's these are behind closed
Speaker 1: door conversations, a lot of these, and so you get
Speaker 1: the Chinese readout of what was said, and then you
Speaker 1: get the US White House readout of what was said. Well,
Speaker 1: the Chinese readout had the really strong verbiage around Taiwan.
Speaker 1: The US readout didn't mention a Taiwan conversation at all.
Speaker 1: So what Trump said back is unknown. At this point,
Speaker 1: he may I've just said nothing, just looked at the guy,
Speaker 1: and you know sometimes in a negotiation you do that.
Speaker 1: Somebody says something and you just sit there and listen
Speaker 1: or look at them or don't say anything. She even
Speaker 1: brought up the whole Thucidities trap, which we've talked about
Speaker 1: a lot on the show over the years, Thucidities being
Speaker 1: one of your ancient Greek writers thinkers. Anyway, the idea
Speaker 1: is that in world history, anytime you have an established
Speaker 1: great power and then a rising power, that rising power
Speaker 1: in great power always go to war. And that has
Speaker 1: happened like every time but once in world history over
Speaker 1: many thousands of years. Obviously, we are the current great
Speaker 1: power in China is the rising great power. And she
Speaker 1: brought up the thucidities trap on and then that we
Speaker 1: should try to avoid it, which I take also is
Speaker 1: kind of a threat. But let me hit you with
Speaker 1: the actual quote of what President she said. And again
Speaker 1: there's no response that we know yet of what Trump
Speaker 1: said back. The Taiwan question is the most important issue
Speaker 1: in the China US relations she said, according to their readout,
Speaker 1: if it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy
Speaker 1: overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and
Speaker 1: even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy. Whether
Speaker 1: Trump responded to that, I do not know. We'll talk
Speaker 1: more about that later, and we're even trying to line
Speaker 1: up some guests to have more idea about what's happening there.
Speaker 1: I think what's happening like at this moment as I speak,
Speaker 1: either live on the radio or recording it for the podcast,
Speaker 1: Trump and She are in a private meeting after their
Speaker 1: big meal there in the Great Hall. So I did
Speaker 1: a little research on the Great Hall. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've watched any of this on the news. So
Speaker 1: Trump gets off the plane. It's interesting how his relationship
Speaker 1: we have with China is so important that we're willing
Speaker 1: to just not even bring up sore points like the
Speaker 1: fact that Trump and she are right there in Tienaman Square,
Speaker 1: sight of one of the worst massacres against people seeking
Speaker 1: freedom in my lifetime, the Tianaman Square massacre. If you
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it, or you're too young, google
Speaker 1: it or chat GPT it. Anyway, that's where Trump and
Speaker 1: g first meet. Trump gets off the plane and yesterday
Speaker 1: they go into the Great Hall, which I find very
Speaker 1: interesting that there's a big, giant, huge picture of Chairman
Speaker 1: Mao on the Great Hall right there, and that's overlooked.
Speaker 1: So you got the Tanneman Square masa here, We just
Speaker 1: we don't even bring that up. You You know a
Speaker 1: lot of Americans know about Tiannaman Square because they watched
Speaker 1: it on TV every night back in the late eighties
Speaker 1: before you slaughtered all those college kids who are trying
Speaker 1: to get freedom. And then he got Chairman Mao's face
Speaker 1: over that. Chairman Mao responsible for killing more people than
Speaker 1: maybe any human being in history, almost certainly than any
Speaker 1: human being in history makes Hitler like a punk look
Speaker 1: like a punk. Can you imagine if you flew into
Speaker 1: Munich or Berlin and there was a giant Hitler picture
Speaker 1: there on the building you were walking into have negotiations. Well,
Speaker 1: in China, you're flying and there's a giant portrait of
Speaker 1: mau there, who killed somewhere between thirty and fifty million
Speaker 1: people of his own people, and he got his picture there,
Speaker 1: and we just kind of ignore that. AnyWho doing a
Speaker 1: little research on the Great Hall, this is the sort
Speaker 1: of thing I would have looked up as a kid.
Speaker 1: I loved our encyclopedia set when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: because I I would think of things I wanted to
Speaker 1: know about and I would go grab an encyclopedia and
Speaker 1: look it up. And it was the only way, living
Speaker 1: out in rural middle of nowhere, that I could get
Speaker 1: any information around anything. I would have loved these chatbots
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, Although but I had access
Speaker 1: to this, I probably would have just looked at Poorn
Speaker 1: as a teenager, so I wouldn't have learned anything. He too.
Speaker 1: The Great Hall of China, How big is it? It
Speaker 1: is one point eight million square feet, so the big
Speaker 1: giant Hall that they're eating in right now. If you've
Speaker 1: seen like right now live, they've got video. There's Elon
Speaker 1: Musk chewing I see up on Fox because they had
Speaker 1: this big There's Tim Cookabapple. He got all these different
Speaker 1: diplomats and business people from the United States and China
Speaker 1: meeting there, and before Trump and she go into a
Speaker 1: private room to talk. But the Great Hall, which was
Speaker 1: built in the fifties by Chairman Mao, is almost two
Speaker 1: million square feet. To give you an idea how big
Speaker 1: that is. That's thirty acres of an indoor ballroom. You
Speaker 1: can't even wrap your head around how big that is.
Speaker 1: Thirty acres is the size of that ballroom. Holy crap,
Speaker 1: way bigger than any of your biggest sports stadiums that
Speaker 1: you've ever been to. Contains a massive central auditorium where
Speaker 1: they're eating right now, that will hold ten thousand people
Speaker 1: in one of the rooms. Because there's a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of great, big, giant rooms, enormous banquet halls that they
Speaker 1: can have many banquets going on at the same time,
Speaker 1: hundreds of meetings rooms and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's just insanely huge. It's bigger than the US
Speaker 1: and the entire US Capitol. If you've ever been to
Speaker 1: DC or the Palace of Westminster in Britain, or any
Speaker 1: of those sites, if you've ever traveled and seen those great, big,
Speaker 1: giant buildings, this is way bigger than that. And that's
Speaker 1: where they're meeting right now. And I m to me,
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing that I want to hear today
Speaker 1: is what was Trump's response when President she basically threatened
Speaker 1: war over the island of Taiwan. Did he just say nothing?
Speaker 1: Because again, our print out from our White House doesn't
Speaker 1: bring up Taiwan at all. I can get into some
Speaker 1: more of the particulars of what they said back and forth.
Speaker 1: We should probably start the show officially because the FCC
Speaker 1: would just love to jump on this since I'm solo
Speaker 1: today and find me maybe throw me an FCC jail
Speaker 1: if I don't start the show officially. I'm Jack arms Strong.
Speaker 1: He's Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, May fourteenth,
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty six. We are armstrong in getting
Speaker 1: we approve of this program. Let's begin the show. Mark.
Speaker 2: We both believe and the China US relationship is the
Speaker 2: most important bilateral relationship in the world. We must make
Speaker 2: it work and never mess it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're making it very very clear that things could
Speaker 1: go sideways if they don't get what they want and
Speaker 1: what they want, as they emphasized over and over, President
Speaker 1: She himself and all the spokespeople believe him that the
Speaker 1: number one thing for them is that Taiwan becomes part
Speaker 1: of China. She also stressed that Taiwan independence is fundamentally
Speaker 1: incompatible with peace across the Taiwan Strait, and other words,
Speaker 1: if Taiwan is independent, there will not be peace. The
Speaker 1: opposite of piece is, of course, war, describing stability in
Speaker 1: the region as in the common interest of both Beijing
Speaker 1: and Washington. Well, it's not really in our interest to
Speaker 1: allow the Taiwan Straight to become part of China. And
Speaker 1: you know, we're seeing what's happening with the Straight of
Speaker 1: Horn moves. The Taiwan Strait is every bit as big
Speaker 1: a deal to shipping, and more importantly than that, Taiwan
Speaker 1: is responsible for ninety percent of your very best computer
Speaker 1: chips on planet Earth, and you don't want China controlling
Speaker 1: all that. As we head into the world of ai
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Let me read one more. This
Speaker 1: is the New York Times version of it Taiwan Taiwan itself.
Speaker 1: The country pushed back after she warned Trump that the
Speaker 1: issue of Taiwan could cause conflict between the two countries.
Speaker 1: China's military threats are the sole cause for instability in
Speaker 1: the Taiwan Strait in the region, said a government spokeswoman.
Speaker 1: She said that Taiwan had maintained close contact with Washington
Speaker 1: throughout the preparations for the sum and that they were
Speaker 1: deeply grateful for long standing US support, which includes a
Speaker 1: current deal for eleven billion dollars worth of weapons that
Speaker 1: we're going to give to Taiwan. They haven't been delivered yet,
Speaker 1: but the deal is made now. There are some pundits
Speaker 1: out there, mostly Trump critics, who are concerned that Trump
Speaker 1: is going to trade away the arms deal for help
Speaker 1: with the straight of horror moves in Iran, that that's
Speaker 1: going to be his leverage he uses on President She Hey,
Speaker 1: we won't deliver the eleven billion dollars worth of military
Speaker 1: equipment to Taiwan. If you really lean on your friend
Speaker 1: Ran to open that straight back up again. I think
Speaker 1: most of us freedom loving people would find that horrible.
Speaker 1: There's no indication that Trump's actually planning to do that,
Speaker 1: so but that is worth keeping our eye on. It's
Speaker 1: one of the headlines that's out there. Got our ear
Speaker 1: to the ground for the conversations that are going on
Speaker 1: in China right now, some of the other reporting over
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, and a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: other stuff to come, which we will hit in headlines
Speaker 1: right after this. I definitely don't want to have all
Speaker 1: heavy stuff today, but we have to at some point
Speaker 1: get into this. Nick Christoph of the New York Times story,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of this or not.
Speaker 1: He had a piece in The New York Times the
Speaker 1: other day claiming horrifying rapes by Israel against Palestinians that
Speaker 1: was so over the top. I mean, it was just like,
Speaker 1: how could this possibly be true? Israeli's with this kind
Speaker 1: of systemic raping of innocent Palestinians, blah blah blah, And
Speaker 1: it turns out they can't back up. Christoph of the
Speaker 1: New York Times can't back this up at all. Now
Speaker 1: he's getting all kinds of pushback and starting to apologize.
Speaker 1: And this is a heck of an interesting story. How
Speaker 1: the New York Times let one of their major columnists
Speaker 1: go this far. If into like crazy Town Conspiracy World
Speaker 1: on a story that turns out not to be true,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to talk about that later if you
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it, And maybe this segment, if
Speaker 1: we have time, I want to get into this new
Speaker 1: study about smartphones and how much your brain gets better
Speaker 1: with just two weeks of getting rid of most of
Speaker 1: your smartphone use. Get to that in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's interesting and I'm thinking about trying it myself. We
Speaker 1: have some pretty good guests lined up for the show today,
Speaker 1: including our friend Tim Sanderfordton, the lawyer who will be
Speaker 1: on later talking about well lots of different things, but
Speaker 1: mostly his book that he wrote Proclaiming Liberty, John Adams,
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, and the Declaration of Independence. Tim's one of
Speaker 1: the best people to talk about that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Not only is incredibly knowledgeable, he's just so good at
Speaker 1: presenting those stories in an exciting way. I wish he
Speaker 1: had been my eighth grade history teacher who took this
Speaker 1: stuff and made it so dreadfully dull you wanted to
Speaker 1: jump out a window, whereas Tim makes it exciting. And
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Tim a little bit later, a lot
Speaker 1: of these kind of stories around as we come up
Speaker 1: on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birthday
Speaker 1: of this country on July fourth this year. More on
Speaker 1: that later. Some of the headlines going on, we mentioned
Speaker 1: President g raising the prospect of a future US China
Speaker 1: war in his meeting with Trump, which seems pretty I
Speaker 1: don't know if belligerent's the right word, but certainly strident.
Speaker 1: Get into more on that later. Rudy Giuliani, to remember him,
Speaker 1: revealed he was in a coma recently. Right, So, Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani takes a crime ridden New York, becomes mayor, turns
Speaker 1: it around, a Republican, a Democrat, a Republican in a
Speaker 1: Democrat city, turns it around. It comes a super big
Speaker 1: deal known throughout the world. Then nine to eleven happens.
Speaker 1: He performs magnificently America's mayor. We started calling him presidential
Speaker 1: Candidate's got to be someday, blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Then then he gets involved in the Trump world and
Speaker 1: like loses his mind or I don't know what happened
Speaker 1: with Rudy Giuliani. Anyway, He's gotten pretty crazy in the
Speaker 1: last several years. Poor guy's health suok a bad turn
Speaker 1: recently and he was in a coma just like week
Speaker 1: before last. He was in a coma for several days.
Speaker 1: He said yesterday that he had a significant spiritual experience
Speaker 1: while in his coma and was spoken to. And the
Speaker 1: story of how that all went down and what this
Speaker 1: apparition said to him while he was in his coma
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting, So we'll have to get to that
Speaker 1: later in the show. You don't hear that every single day.
Speaker 1: M oh got the story. If you heard it late
Speaker 1: in the show yesterday, we'll have to retell it somewhat
Speaker 1: because there's pushback now. Gavin Newsom being accused of handing
Speaker 1: out really expensive to taxpayers tablets to prisoners in California
Speaker 1: where they sit around and watch porn and reach out
Speaker 1: to kids sexually and all kinds of different horrible things.
Speaker 1: Gave all these prisoners little porn machines that we paid
Speaker 1: way too much for. Gavin Newsom's office pushing back hard
Speaker 1: against that story that we reported yesterday, and the originators
Speaker 1: of the story pushing backguard against Gavin, saying, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you did give them tablets and they are using them
Speaker 1: for porn. So we'll have to get into that story later.
Speaker 1: If you didn't hear, it's a pretty good one and
Speaker 1: mind boggling and maddening. Honda Motor reported its first annual
Speaker 1: loss since nineteen fifty seven yesterday. Why I didn't even
Speaker 1: have to read the rest of the headline to guess
Speaker 1: after scaling back its electric vehicle plans, similar to Ford
Speaker 1: and General Motors and a whole bunch of other major
Speaker 1: auto makers, These that were forced into making electric cars
Speaker 1: by first the Obama administration, then the Biden administration, with
Speaker 1: all these various goals and regulations. The state of California
Speaker 1: did the same thing on how many electric cars we all?
Speaker 1: They thought, well, we got to start making electric cars.
Speaker 1: Is going to be the law of the land here
Speaker 1: in just a few years. Nobody wanted them, nobody bought them.
Speaker 1: Ford gave up on it, GM gave up on it.
Speaker 1: Honda lost money for the first time since the fifties
Speaker 1: because of the electric cars, and now, at least while
Speaker 1: Trump's president, we've moved away from that. But I find
Speaker 1: that story damned interesting. These major car companies went out
Speaker 1: there and made electric cars for you, and you just
Speaker 1: didn't want them. I drive a cyber truck every single day,
Speaker 1: electric car, but I know most people don't want an
Speaker 1: electric car. They certainly don't want it for their main car. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll probably get into the details on that. A lot
Speaker 1: of people worked up over that Alex Murdaw's murder conviction
Speaker 1: being overturned. Some of the details on that story for you,
Speaker 1: and maybe the biggest story yes yesterday in its entirety,
Speaker 1: this CIA whistleblower saying that doctor Fauci absolutely was hiding
Speaker 1: the origin of COVID on purpose, and we have to
Speaker 1: get to that one. We'll do a full segment on that,
Speaker 1: because we've been talking about this since COVID first showed
Speaker 1: up on the seat. We got a lot on the
Speaker 1: way if you missed the segment the podcast Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: It was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci's injecting himself into
Speaker 3: the IC. We have documentation that shows that as of
Speaker 3: August twelfth, the CIA was considering calling this a lab leak.
Speaker 3: That changed on August seventeenth of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4: We just heard testimony that he intervened behind the scenes
Speaker 4: to try and get our own intelligence agency CIAFBI to.
Speaker 1: Change their assessment of the lab.
Speaker 4: League Why because he helped fund the Wuhan lab. He supported
Speaker 4: and funded gain a function research and I had to
Speaker 4: cover it up.
Speaker 1: I think this is so clearly true. Thought it was
Speaker 1: true from the beginning. They should have played the famous
Speaker 1: clip from the Colbert Show when John Stewart was on
Speaker 1: there and they had that little argument over where the
Speaker 1: COVID virus came from, and John Stewart says, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe it comes from came from a lab
Speaker 1: that's studying this very thing, the Wuhan virus there in Wuhunt. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The most obvious thing from the beginning of COVID was
Speaker 1: it came out of that lab, and our government officials,
Speaker 1: mostly mostly Anthony Fauci, tried to cover up. I will
Speaker 1: believe that till my dying day. And we got a
Speaker 1: lot more information on that from yesterday's hearing, which I'm
Speaker 1: a little suspicious about the timing of this hearing, But
Speaker 1: here's Bill Malusian's report on Fox. Has to be on
Speaker 1: Fox because nobody else was interested in covering this story
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 5: Republicans say the headline from today's hearing with this active
Speaker 5: CIA employee was testimony that there was a US government
Speaker 5: cover up about COVID nineteen's origins, a cover up in
Speaker 5: which he says, doctor Anthony Fauci played a very key role.
Speaker 5: James Erdman testified that back in August of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 5: right as the US intel community was about to determine
Speaker 5: that COVID nineteen had leaked from a Chinese lab, doctor
Speaker 5: Fauci injected himself into those conversations, and the lab leak
Speaker 5: theory was suddenly changed to a neutral position just days later.
Speaker 1: So that's Bien millusion to Fox. As I said, I
Speaker 1: watched CBS, NBC and ABC, and unless I blinked and
Speaker 1: missed it, they did not cover this hearing at all yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm a little suspicious, as I said, the fact that
Speaker 1: this hearing with a CIA whistleblower who says he has
Speaker 1: direct knowledge that Anthony Faunci got injected himself into this
Speaker 1: story and covered up the or pushed away the original
Speaker 1: assessment that COVID probably came out of that lab. Why
Speaker 1: did this hearing happened on the day Trump shows up
Speaker 1: in China when all your major news hosts are broadcasting
Speaker 1: live from China and going on and on and on
Speaker 1: about that. Absolutely a giant story. Why did the hearing
Speaker 1: happen that day? I mean that guarantees it's going to
Speaker 1: get almost no coverage. Fox was on it. Bill Millusion
Speaker 1: goes on.
Speaker 5: And not a single Democrat on that Senate Homeland Security
Speaker 5: Committee showed up to today's hearing. That fact reflected by
Speaker 5: a row of empty chairs. The CIA says that hearing
Speaker 5: was all just a political show, telling Fox in part quote,
Speaker 5: the committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an agency
Speaker 5: officer for testimony today without notifying the CIA. The witness
Speaker 5: testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit
Speaker 5: of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena
Speaker 5: issued by Chairman Paul. This preceding amounts to nothing more
Speaker 5: than a dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing.
Speaker 1: That's the pushback of the Democrats. Now, if you remember
Speaker 1: back in the day, so this this hearing is being
Speaker 1: run by Rand Paul. He's the Republican chair of this
Speaker 1: Senate hearing. If you remember back in the day, Rand
Speaker 1: Paul and Anthony Fauci had a lot of run ins.
Speaker 1: Those are two guys that hate each other. If they
Speaker 1: lived near each other, Anthony Fauci would tackle around Paul
Speaker 1: while he was mowing his lawn. I guarantee you, because
Speaker 1: they hate each other. And Rand Paul has been calling
Speaker 1: out Anthony Fauci of lying about this whole gain of
Speaker 1: function research from the beginning. And you know, Anthony foun
Speaker 1: She's saying, you don't understand science, and all the back
Speaker 1: and forth. Okay. And then, of course, because in the
Speaker 1: Trump era, everything becomes about Trump, it became a if
Speaker 1: you support Trump, you have to love or you have
Speaker 1: to hate Anthony Fauci, and which I think there's a
Speaker 1: good reason to And if you hate Trump, you have
Speaker 1: to absolutely love Anthony Fauci. And so it just broke
Speaker 1: down along those lines. So here's a little from this
Speaker 1: CIA whistleblower. He's a CIA agent, James Erdman. In the
Speaker 1: testimony yesterday.
Speaker 3: Intelligence community leaders and senior analysts downplayed the possibility that
Speaker 3: the COVID pandemic originated as a result of a lab incident.
Speaker 3: Motives are difficult to define given the scope of the
Speaker 3: DIGS review. Intentional or not the ICs actions resulted in
Speaker 3: cover up, wasted resources, and a failure to properly inform policymakers.
Speaker 3: Public health policy would have been very different had the
Speaker 3: American public been made aware that a virus from a
Speaker 3: lab in China was going to serve as the foundation
Speaker 3: for an Emergency Use Authorization mRNA products being mandated by
Speaker 3: the former administration.
Speaker 1: So the problem is, I wonder how many of you
Speaker 1: even listening right now, who probably lean toward Fauci was
Speaker 1: lying about this and covered it up. Who think who cares?
Speaker 1: At this point? I think it's very important to nail
Speaker 1: this down. It's interesting how we all there's such a
Speaker 1: tendency to want to move on from COVID. I was
Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine, a really smart friend
Speaker 1: of mine, the other day, and he said, part of
Speaker 1: it is people either overreacted or underreacted, and in either
Speaker 1: case they are kind of like embarrassed by that and
Speaker 1: don't want to think about it. Either you thought it
Speaker 1: was a nothing COVID and you know, million plus people died,
Speaker 1: or you thought it was and everything and everything should
Speaker 1: be closed down for years, and looking back on it,
Speaker 1: that seems ridiculous, and you're kind of embarrassed about it.
Speaker 1: In either case, you don't want to talk about it anymore.
Speaker 1: But the fact that there's a decent chance that we
Speaker 1: were lied to by the very agencies that are supposed
Speaker 1: to protect us because they started this whole thing, they
Speaker 1: caused the whole thing, and they didn't want to own
Speaker 1: up to it is a pretty big story to me.
Speaker 1: The CIA whistleblower goes on.
Speaker 3: Doctor Fauci's role in the cover up was intentional. Doctor
Speaker 3: Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his
Speaker 3: position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list
Speaker 3: of curated subject matter experts, public health officials, and scientists.
Speaker 3: This included some of the authors of the paper The
Speaker 3: Proximal Origin of Stars Cove two, and other public health
Speaker 3: experts who have been in his orbit for the last
Speaker 3: twenty plus years. Some of the scientists were part of
Speaker 3: the Biological Sciences Experts Group or the b SEG, an
Speaker 3: Office of a Director national intelligence advisory body whose members
Speaker 3: often received considerable funding from NIAID and public health agencies.
Speaker 1: So, before I get to this next clip of him,
Speaker 1: the one thing I don't understand and I don't think
Speaker 1: he's able to explain, is there was them reading from
Speaker 1: National Review. Now, when the CIA conducted a COVID relook
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, the CIA
Speaker 1: quote retaliated against analysts supporting the lab leak hypothesis. Why
Speaker 1: would the CIA retaliate against people who were pushing meat?
Speaker 1: To my mind, obvious true story that it leaked out
Speaker 1: of that lab. Who was able to pressure those CIA
Speaker 1: analysts is that the Biden administration or dif fou she
Speaker 1: have something some leverage over them? That part I don't get.
Speaker 1: Or did they just honestly believe that the lab leak
Speaker 1: hypothesis was not true? Although I don't know why you'd
Speaker 1: have to pressure analysts over that. You'd just say, we
Speaker 1: have a we have a disagreement over this. Seems like
Speaker 1: the adult, fair, honest way to handle it. Erdman went
Speaker 1: on to say, and I don't know if it's in
Speaker 1: this clip that's the CIA analyst. Erdmann says there was
Speaker 1: a retaliation, particularly against those who refused to agree with managements.
Speaker 1: Middle of the night anonymous rewrite of the analysis which
Speaker 1: changeange the assessment to a non called judgment. There was
Speaker 1: analysis by CIA originally that well, it probably leaked out
Speaker 1: of that lab where they study this very sort of
Speaker 1: thing and do gain of function research. Then in the
Speaker 1: the just like overnight, somehow the analysis changed to we
Speaker 1: don't think that's likely, and nobody's exactly sure who did
Speaker 1: that or why. Anyway, Erdmann goes on.
Speaker 3: There was no oversight monitoring how this web of relationships
Speaker 3: influenced research, policy and public health in any holistic way
Speaker 3: for over twenty years. In fact, several of the b
Speaker 3: SEG scientists helped doctor Fauci rewrite definitions of gain of
Speaker 3: function in twenty fifteen to lift a funding pause on
Speaker 3: dangerous research. Still others participated in event in planning event
Speaker 3: to A one in twenty nineteen. This was a coronavirus
Speaker 3: pandemic tabletop exercise curiously similar to the events that played
Speaker 3: out during the COVID nineteen pandemic, and it was attended
Speaker 3: by doctor Fauci and individuals with IC ties like former
Speaker 3: D and I Averil Haynes.
Speaker 1: So then I want to get this one more shorter
Speaker 1: clip on and then I'll sum this all up for
Speaker 1: you if you're not following a clip thirty eight Michael.
Speaker 3: The Cia and D and I analytic manager is responsible
Speaker 3: for examining the origin of COVID made decisions inconsistent with
Speaker 3: the conclusions of subject matter experts and analytical tradecraft, consistently
Speaker 3: favoring the theory of zoonosis or in natural origin. Following
Speaker 3: the CIA's COVID relook that culminated in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 3: the CIA retaliated against analysts supporting the lab leak hypothesis.
Speaker 1: So the summary here and this is the National Reviews
Speaker 1: writing about this. Doctor Anthony Fauci's influence over the Intelligent
Speaker 1: Intelligence community the IC as they call in all the
Speaker 1: different intelligence agencies. Doctor Anthony Fauci's influence over the ICs
Speaker 1: COVID origin analysis in the writing and unwitting role of
Speaker 1: some of the scientists played in the cover up exposed
Speaker 1: why this issue is of deep concern. Erdman had said,
Speaker 1: the interconnected web of conflicts of interest is a national
Speaker 1: security crisis caused by the inability to provide real oversight
Speaker 1: and call for proper oversight with teeth going forward, even
Speaker 1: suggesting the possibility of an investigation and style of the
Speaker 1: seventies era Church Committee That was a committee that we
Speaker 1: put together back in the seventies, all kinds of different
Speaker 1: state stuff, Watergate, and going back to the way our
Speaker 1: intelligence agency spied on various people and got involved in
Speaker 1: South American coups and all that sort of stuff. This
Speaker 1: erdman is suggesting that we have some sort of select
Speaker 1: committee get into this story at that level. I would
Speaker 1: love if that happened. Those things move really really slow
Speaker 1: were I don't if we have another Republican president that
Speaker 1: could happen, but then that'd be the only way the Well,
Speaker 1: the problem here is just having the truth is always better.
Speaker 1: Knowing what actually happened is always better. To me, the
Speaker 1: most likely thing is and it's been this has been
Speaker 1: the case forever. But the most likely thing is this,
Speaker 1: and we have more information pointing in this direction. All
Speaker 1: the time, Doctor Fauci was funding a lab in China,
Speaker 1: in various places around the world to try to create
Speaker 1: the worst virus they possibly could create in a lab
Speaker 1: so that they could do research on how to fight
Speaker 1: it if something like that ever happened naturally. Well, what
Speaker 1: happened is this kind of virus never occurred naturally and
Speaker 1: maybe never would have, but you created one in the lab.
Speaker 1: And some scientists apparently like took it home. Somehow it
Speaker 1: got on the their sleeve or their shoe or whatever,
Speaker 1: and it started spreading around there and spread around the
Speaker 1: world and killed millions of millions of people and cost
Speaker 1: trillions of trillions of dollars and kids got booted out
Speaker 1: of school for a year and a half or all
Speaker 1: the different stuff that happened, and doctor Fauci didn't want
Speaker 1: to own up to that. He didn't want to be
Speaker 1: sorry about that. I guess the lab didn't do a
Speaker 1: good job with my he didn't want to be the
Speaker 1: face of that. And more importantly than that, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it was just ass covering. I think he
Speaker 1: was concerned that if the world finds out the truth,
Speaker 1: they're going to shut down this sort of research. And
Speaker 1: the only thing standing between a deadly virus that wipes
Speaker 1: out mankind and doing this sort of research is me.
Speaker 1: I'm the one man on earth that can protect this
Speaker 1: sort of research. So I'm going to do what needs
Speaker 1: to be done as a good patriot and lover of
Speaker 1: humankind to lie about all this and cover it up
Speaker 1: so we can continue to do gain to function research.
Speaker 1: I really think that that's what happened, and so far
Speaker 1: I remember reading about this early on, and I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to dig this back up again because there
Speaker 1: was a lab leak. There's been a couple of lab
Speaker 1: leaks so far. The worst viruses that have happened in
Speaker 1: the last well century really are ones that were mad
Speaker 1: made and then leaked out of labs. So you might
Speaker 1: want to take a look at whether maybe we ought
Speaker 1: to take a look at a society and like vote
Speaker 1: on this, whether we think it's a good idea to
Speaker 1: continue to make horrifying viruses that might leak out since
Speaker 1: they aren't occurring naturally. Anyway. I hope they get I
Speaker 1: really hope they get to the bottom of this story someday.
Speaker 1: But they're really criticizing science because I represent science. I
Speaker 1: got another comment on that. But first I want to
Speaker 1: tell you about trust and will. This is such an
Speaker 1: important thing. It's such an easy thing to put off. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't know how often you think about like you dying,
Speaker 1: or you and your wife or husband dying, and then
Speaker 1: what happens to the kids if you still have underage kids,
Speaker 1: or all your stuff if you got grown up kids,
Speaker 1: what happens to your money, to your house and whatever that?
Speaker 1: Do you want it to go into the courts and
Speaker 1: the kids just fight over it and end up haaitting
Speaker 1: each other. Because that happens a lot. Trust and will
Speaker 1: can stop that awful scenario from happening. You get a
Speaker 1: trust and a will, and the platform makes it easy
Speaker 1: to create your will or trust online yourself. It's fast
Speaker 1: and as little as thirty minutes. You can create a
Speaker 1: will that lets you document your wishes for your guardians
Speaker 1: that'd be your underage kids, or your asset distribution for
Speaker 1: your your adult kids, who gets what and how much?
Speaker 1: And healthcare planning. You know, how are you going to
Speaker 1: handle that whole end of life? And maybe you're not
Speaker 1: in any position to talk about it. If you need
Speaker 1: expert input, they've got attorneys available, Trust and Will, affordable
Speaker 1: estate plans, priceless peace of mind. Go to Trust and
Speaker 1: Will dot com slash armstrong and get twenty percent off.
Speaker 1: That's trust and Will dot com slash armstrong and get
Speaker 1: your twenty percent off Trust and Will dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: Final load on this. I hope someday there is a
Speaker 1: real hearing. Maybe we need to get years down the road.
Speaker 1: Maybe Trump needs to leave the scene so people aren't
Speaker 1: dug In on that issue and we get a real
Speaker 1: hearing on the origin of COVID and can move forward,
Speaker 1: you know, in a proper way. But man, right now,
Speaker 1: I think we're still living in La la land. Thank
Speaker 1: God for that Cia whistleblower. We've got more on the way.
Speaker 1: Stay here, Armstrong, Heyetti.
Speaker 3: The New York Times published a profile yesterday and jen
Speaker 3: Z High school students who have revived the trend of
Speaker 3: playing with Hacky Sacks.
Speaker 1: That story again, Weed's back. That's funny. I was never
Speaker 1: a pot smoker, and I played gazillions of hours of
Speaker 1: Hacky Sack. I drank a lot of beer. Man, did
Speaker 1: I play You ever play Hacky Sack?
Speaker 5: Michael?
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit, A little bit, Oh God, I
Speaker 1: played it for I wonder how many thousands of hours
Speaker 1: I played Hacky Sack. I was thinking about that the
Speaker 1: other day with playing pool too, like billiards, you know, pool,
Speaker 1: that kind of game, many thousands. If I had the
Speaker 1: thousands of hours back that I played Pool or Hacky Sack,
Speaker 1: would I do something more productive with that time? Or
Speaker 1: was it? As my memory would tell me, Gladys looking
Speaker 1: back on my Hacky Sack and playing pool days, mostly
Speaker 1: in my twenties. Was it like the greatest time of
Speaker 1: my life? It was freaking awesome. Pre staring at your smartphone.
Speaker 1: Me and uh one or two or three other dudes
Speaker 1: would be out there by the pool at the apartment complex, shirtless,
Speaker 1: getting tan, drinking beer, playing a hacky sack all afternoon.
Speaker 1: That's freaking awesome. I don't know. I think about that
Speaker 1: a lot. Maybe that's just something as you get older.
Speaker 1: Was that a good expenditure of time because you were
Speaker 1: really really happy? Or is that you don't understand how
Speaker 1: short life is you're in your twenties, just a waste
Speaker 1: of your existence? And I go back and forth on that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know moderation is a key. Moderation's moderation,
Speaker 1: That's what I say. Maybe I'll talk more about that later.
Speaker 1: We got a number of good guests lined up for today,
Speaker 1: and particularly to kick off our two, we'll be talking
Speaker 1: to Tim Sanderfer, who we absolutely love, and man, if
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the founding of this country
Speaker 1: with somebody who's into it and interesting can present it
Speaker 1: in an interesting way, it's Tim Sandifer and his new
Speaker 1: book Proclaiming Liberty will tell you all about it kicking
Speaker 1: off our too. If you don't get that for some reason,
Speaker 1: you can't listen, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 1: The closing arguments of the Big Elon Musk scam Altman
Speaker 1: trial or today. I shouldn't say scam Altman because that's
Speaker 1: prejudicial and makes it sound like I'm on the side
Speaker 1: of Elon Musk, which I probably am, though most of
Speaker 1: the legal experts I've read think he is not going
Speaker 1: to prevail in this trial. But anyway, I'm looking up
Speaker 1: at the TV and it says Open Eye yesterday tried
Speaker 1: to submit a golden jackass trophy as evidence of something,
Speaker 1: and I don't know who made they haven't They had
Speaker 1: an actual trophy that said the Golden Jackass with a
Speaker 1: donkey kicking its back legs, And I don't know who
Speaker 1: presented it to who and why it was being entered
Speaker 1: as evidence in the trial. Maybe I'll try to dig
Speaker 1: that up A little bit later. Came across this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I thought it was fantastic. We should Trump should rename
Speaker 1: the Strait of a Ran the Strait of America. That
Speaker 1: might be the Strait of Horror moves rename it the
Speaker 1: Strait of America. I wonder if that would solve our
Speaker 1: whole problem. Start calling it the Strait of America. Trump
Speaker 1: is in China right now, being warned by President She
Speaker 1: that Hey, we're taking Tywanner, We're going to war. And
Speaker 1: what was our response. Haven't seen any news reporting yet
Speaker 1: on how Trump responded to She's threat. Our pronounce of
Speaker 1: the meaning don't even include that conversation, So maybe you
Speaker 1: just ignore them. I have no idea. We'll try to
Speaker 1: dig that up too. Hopefully that news will come out
Speaker 1: while we're on the air today because I'm highly interested
Speaker 1: in that. A lot more on the way. If you
Speaker 1: missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
