All right, we're close enough, we appear to 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:24.760 be close to Boise. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.080 Let's this is what you gotta say. You gotta say. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.480 We're gonna give you the option. We'll be fifty feet 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.320 off the ground if you want to roll out the 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.839 door and just take your chances. Otherwise we're going to Eugene. 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.400 So im I want to jump out and just o't 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.080 roll for a while.

Yep, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:54.280 that's the part that I understand. And Tim Sanders and 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.240 I talked about airlines last time he was on. His 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.440 whole thing was they're the safest they've ever ben And 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.239 I'm my argument is make them this much less safe 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.039 since I'm not the least bit worried about them crashing. 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.880 If it's going to improve, uh the whole airline thing 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:15.080 and the current system they've got where they don't get 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:20.240 dinged for uh late takeoffs or landings or this sort 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.720 of stuff. If they keep you on the plane is 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.560 a bad system. Let me off the freaking plain. I 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.039 understand things happen sometime, but let me off the damn plane. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:33.280 But keeping you on the plane is torture.

You'd have to 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.880 buy it once you're inside the Yeah, but you can 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.000 buy it when you're inside the whatever you call it, past. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.480 Security by there in the terminal. Yeah. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.960 Just of crimes that I don't have a moral problem with. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.040 That'd be one of them. If my passenger gets out 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.439 a little bottle and pours it in their coke to 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.480 save themselves eleven dollars on their drink, I don't care. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.360 No, I don't care, as long as they don't like 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.600 start singing along and rapping and. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:42.560 Clicking your nails. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.280 Oh oh, that's so awful. I'm not awful. Try that. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.800 Try that for about five hours, guys. A couple of 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.160 news things to update you on, like little news items 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.400 maybe you haven't heard. South Korea continues to be interesting 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.080 after their near call last week. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.720 It's getting cou cou cook here in my opinion, and a. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.040 Bunch of other stuff on the waist to hear. 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.880 Home security cameras capture the crimes, but can't stop package 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:12.800 thieves from growing. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.840 Boulder I Do consumer survey finds over the last year. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.800 Thieves stole at least fifty eight million packages delivered to 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.720 US homes, crimes adding up to twelve billion dollars. That's 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.920 inspired a new kind of insurance for ten dollars a month. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.360 Porch Pals says it'll cover three stolen items a year 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.040 worth up to two thousand dollars each, or a free option. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.560 UPS will ship your packages to a local CVS store, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.000 while Amazon will send packages to your closest Whole Foods. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.760 Yeah, that's not a pain in the ass at all, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.520 but might be the only thing you can do, depending 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.760 on the neighborhood you live in, and just my own 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.880 personal experience with insurance on some of those shipping companies, 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.920 good luck with that. They got like nine million reasons 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.200 they're not going to cover whatever happened that the all. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.160 That you heard blah blah blah blah blah or more hangings. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.560 Yeah, yeah, just make it such a punishment to get 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.320 caught or keep people in jail. The sort of person 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.959 that's going to steal self off your porch has probably 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.240 committed lots of crimes in our life. You keep him 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.760 in jail and then you don't have to worry about 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.679 it anymore. There's that as an option also, or have 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.520 a lock box on every front porch. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.319 You hate to have to have that. I mean, that's 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:19.240 a sign of things gone on. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.080 Well, like I said last week, that could be just 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.640 become a thing if we're all going to live this 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.960 lifestyle that we have of having so much stuff shipped 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:27.720 to us all the time. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.240 Yep, yep. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:37.359 So in South Korea, the guy that advised the president 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:42.440 to declare martial law and pull off a coup got 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.079 thrown in jail and tried to kill himself last night, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.559 so it wasn't successful. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.839 He was the Minister of Defense. He was one of 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.400 the highest ranking guys in the government. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.600 His idea was the coup, which didn't work out luckily 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:59.080 for South Korea and I think for Western civilization probably, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.400 But yeah, he must not think his decision was so 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.960 good at this point, apparently not knowing they're going to 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.160 hold another impeachment vote. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.240 I think it's on Saturday, and this one might succeed. 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.679 And they've the Minister of Justice or somebody told the 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.520 president don't leave the country. You're not allowed to leave 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.960 the country. So that's a hell of a situation that 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.920 you talk about a constitutional crisis. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.200 Yeah, I'd say we are the world's oldest democracy and 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.199 we're only a couple hundred years old. I am was 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.360 reading another thing about the history of France the other day. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.959 I don't remember how it came up, but I mean, 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.560 they haven't been a working democracy that long. It's hard 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.120 to hang on to It ain't. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.880 Easy right right indeed, especially if you have, say a 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.120 global adversary trying to ruin it for you. Chinese national 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.720 arrested for photographing Vandenberg Space Force Base with drone. This 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.280 is not the New Jersey drones. This is California drones. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.600 This guy was surveilling the Space Force base and then 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.959 tried to get on a flight to China. Chinese national 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.400 and a lawful permanent resident of the US arrested at 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.360 San Francisco International Airport prior to his flight a few 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:13.800 days ago. Cool. 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.280 Well, not cool that he was surveilling US, but cool 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:17.920 that he got caught. 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.320 Yeah. Yeah, but there are people like this all over 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.320 the country. But yeah, we got to start arresting them 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.880 and understand they're not innocent researchers and students, a lot 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:28.160 of them. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.280 So even though the rebels now run Syria, they hadn't 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.600 taken every town. And I guess they just took the 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.400 oil rich city of deer Ezor, which I don't know 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.520 that town, And now it's pretty beautiful this time of year. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.680 Every town of any sizes in the hands of the 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:47.360 rebels who are promising Jewish, Muslim, Christian they're all here. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.120 We all want to live in peace and have a 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.720 space now, which is a nice sentiment. An interesting side 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.400 note to that, though in the nineteen forties Syria's Jewish 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.560 community was forty thousand, there are an estimated three, not three, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.120 three hundred, but three. Good luck finding a Jew in 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.080 Syria to find for an interview to ask them if 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.200 they feel comfortable living there at this point. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.720 Wow. Wow. One of the least covered stories of our 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.680 lifetime is the giant five hundred and twenty page report 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.280 put out by the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:29.200 Spent two years looking into the coronavirus the response to it. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.760 All of the facets of it and what worked didn't 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.360 What was a good idea, what was a bad idea. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:38.240 It's remarkable how little coverage it is getting. Zero yeah, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.280 practically zero, including one of their major findings, quote unquote, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.120 science never justified the prolonged closure of schools during the 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:51.120 coronavirus pandemic. Subcommittee concluded its investigation provide their five hundred 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.760 and twenty page report detailing the massive failures committed throughout 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.800 the pandemic, from mask in vaccine mandates to public health 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.520 officials suppressing and dismissing narratives such as the reality of 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.320 natural immunity that they did not like and that would 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.359 not support their draconian policies. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.800 Man, I hope I never experienced anything like that again, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:14.240 where there is such a fever for some ideas that 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.920 all logic goes out the window and horrible things are 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.520 done like that, because it's right, it's scary, it's clearly 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.240 human nature. It's happened in every civilization, sometimes leading to 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.800 their downfall, and it was something to have lived through. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.360 I mean, oh my god, can't believe it. Just can't 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.440 believe it even happened. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.400 So one major point of controversy throughout the pandemic was 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.200 the so called science behind the prolonged school closures. As 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.960 it turns out, as many have already known, there was none. Quote. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.200 A summary of the report reads, the science never justified 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.360 prolonged school closures. They explained that children were not likely 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.120 to contribute to the spread of the virus, were not 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.400 likely to suffer from severe illness or mortality. Quote. Instead, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:55.760 as a result of school closures, children experienced hysteric historic 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.800 learning loss, higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:00.520 wal well being. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.800 He left out the giants, But but the teachers unions 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.280 were able to strong arm out of the government into 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.480 the taxpayer billions and billions and billions and billions and 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.199 billions and billions of dollars. And they care about that 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:20.040 more than kids. Apparently armstrong and getty. How like Christmas 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:28.879 cards and Christmas songs and give me wood? So is 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:35.840 this Jesus' birthday turned somewhat into a gift giving holiday 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.399 not related to Jesus? And then you put out a 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:40.880 second a thirst trap song. 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.600 What exactly what's going on here? Anyway? Santa is going 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.840 to come down the chimney and really deliver huh uh? 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.560 When last we left Joe Getty, he was telling us 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.880 about this new COVID report that nobody will pay any 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.480 attention to, even though it's incredibly important right Indeed, in 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.760 one of the most powerful points is that there was 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.840 no scientific basis for keeping the schools closed nearly, nearly 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.879 nearly as long as we did. In fact, not at all. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.480 And they go back to the even in the early 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.560 months in Wuhan, China, the results were known that children 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.800 were not vectors and did not suffer from the disease 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.760 very much at all. But and then they get into 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.960 the really unholy part, which is what I want to 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:24.160 talk about. The subcommittee found that the Biden administration CDC 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.760 broke its own presidents and rules and provided a political 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.800 teachers organization with access to its scientific school reopening guidance quote. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.960 Former CDC director Rachelle Wallenski asked the American Federation of 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.600 Teachers to provide specific language for the guidance and even 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.239 went so far as to accept numerous edits made by 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:48.080 the AFT. The report itself states quote that many schools 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.280 remained closed because of AFT and Miss Randy winingartens political 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.320 interference into the CDC issuance of the Biden administration's first 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.960 school reopening guidance entitled Operational Strategy for Kate through twelvesco 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.840 go through phrase prevention blah blah blah, on February twelve, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.680 twenty twenty one. Ultimately, these subcommittee said these schools closures 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.080 were simply not rooted in science, and what makes me 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.159 insane about that? And Randy Winegarten, who we quoted who 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.159 called her the most dangerous person in America, can't remember. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.160 It was somebody you know, we respect, and I think 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:31.200 it's true. Here's the crazy part. Trump's nominee for Secretary 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.359 of Labor, who's a true Rhino or Republican name only 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:40.120 from Oregon, Lorie Chavez d Riemer is a close friend 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:45.000 of Randy Winingarten, a close associate of the Teachers Union, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.959 and wants to make federal law outlaw all of the 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:55.280 red state reforms that govern like public employee unions. She 0:19:55.520 --> 0:20:02.199 is a hardcore leftivist, leftist, union an activist hack and 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.359
