Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arms Strong
Speaker 1: and Jack Katie and no Key.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3: Frontier Airlines announced last week that it will add first
Speaker 3: class seating, but don't get too excited at Frontier, that
Speaker 3: just means oxygen masks. The Transportation Department announced last week
Speaker 3: that it will look into a new rule that would
Speaker 3: require airlines to compensate passengers for delays and rebook them
Speaker 3: for free on later flights home, while Southwest will just
Speaker 3: start forwarding your mail.
Speaker 1: So you flew the other day, Katie, and you said
Speaker 1: you had some complaints. We're going to bring up on
Speaker 1: the podcast. We haven't yet. What was your There a
Speaker 1: short version of this or do you need the whole
Speaker 1: podcast for that?
Speaker 4: I don't need the whole podcast, but it's it's a
Speaker 4: little bit of a long story. It was like, well,
Speaker 4: if you want it now, I can give it to
Speaker 4: you now. I was flying to visit my parents in Boise.
Speaker 4: So I flew out of Sacramento and was headed to Boise,
Speaker 4: where dense fog is common. We were fifty feet off
Speaker 4: the ground and all of a sudden, I just feel
Speaker 4: the plane start to go right back up. So we
Speaker 4: were about to land, and then we just start going
Speaker 4: right back up. Mind you, the entire time this is happening,
Speaker 4: the woman sitting next to me is hammer drunk, oh boy, hammer.
Speaker 1: And talking like this, leaning over my lap. She put
Speaker 1: her drink on my tray table. I was ready. It
Speaker 1: was it was. It was above and beyond.
Speaker 2: And happy, drunk, chatty, drunk, caty, drunk, chatty, drunk, singing
Speaker 2: at the top of her lungs with her headphones in
Speaker 2: drunk wow.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: When the when the flight attendant came by to take
Speaker 4: all the trash, you know, before they land, she wouldn't
Speaker 4: give him her cocktail because.
Speaker 1: She wasn't done yet, right and uh so was drink
Speaker 1: or drink of choice? It was?
Speaker 4: It was some I don't know, it was hard liquor,
Speaker 4: but it was not something I was fast.
Speaker 1: Eddie is that's I.
Speaker 2: Don't Oh that's a deep Eddie vodka.
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, I think it was Eddie vodka something like that.
Speaker 4: So I get to enjoy more time with this woman
Speaker 4: because we went back up into the sky and the
Speaker 4: flight attendant comes on over and says.
Speaker 1: We saw some unexpected fog.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to go refuel in Eugene, Oregon, which
Speaker 4: is yeah, it's forty five minutes to an hour in
Speaker 4: the opposite direction of where I'm trying to get.
Speaker 1: So we adventure that way.
Speaker 4: Uh, no more beverages, no water, no snacks, no alcohol
Speaker 4: because it was all gone.
Speaker 1: Apparently you could have landed where you were a celebrity
Speaker 1: because we're on kug y. N Oh, we did land
Speaker 1: and we sat there for an hour and many letters
Speaker 1: won too many letters, k there you go. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we sat there for about an hour and a half they.
Speaker 4: Quote unquote refuel and a half, yeah, because they had
Speaker 4: to wait.
Speaker 1: For the fuel person to get there.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, this woman, it's like the alcohol was just really
Speaker 4: starting to seep into our system because it was getting
Speaker 4: worse and worse.
Speaker 2: You know, I got to rewind just briefly, so you
Speaker 2: were you were within fifty feet of land. That sucks,
Speaker 2: but but there wasn't enough fuel to circle a couple
Speaker 2: of times.
Speaker 4: See I'm calling bull s on this one because when
Speaker 4: we landed in Eugene.
Speaker 1: So you think the pilot's got a side piece in Oregon?
Speaker 1: Is what you're thinking?
Speaker 4: I think that the pilot who just so happened to
Speaker 4: be a she could not land the plane in the.
Speaker 1: Fog and freaked out.
Speaker 4: What I think because there were a lot of apologies
Speaker 4: going on as she was leaving the plane, and then
Speaker 4: a new pilot came on.
Speaker 1: She had ad appointment in Eugene, as I so charmingly
Speaker 1: heard that term for the first time the other day,
Speaker 1: she she had what ad appointment? I'm using abbreviation, but
Speaker 1: I heard somebody use that term in casual conversation like
Speaker 1: that's a thing. Maybe it's a thing with the young people.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was to get some loving from a fella.
Speaker 2: Is that? Oh lord?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was gonna go.
Speaker 2: Get the d D. Close your eyes and set this
Speaker 2: jumbo down. All right, we're close enough, we appear to
Speaker 2: be close to Boise.
Speaker 1: Let's this is what you gotta say. You gotta say.
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you the option. We'll be fifty feet
Speaker 1: off the ground if you want to roll out the
Speaker 1: door and just take your chances. Otherwise we're going to Eugene.
Speaker 1: So im I want to jump out and just o't
Speaker 1: roll for a while. I'll be okay, and then I'll
Speaker 1: get up on my feet, does myself off. When we
Speaker 1: were sitting there, I've never come.
Speaker 4: So close to pulling the emergency hatch and just going
Speaker 4: down that slide, I was, I was over it.
Speaker 1: Did they keep you on the plane the whole time? Yep,
Speaker 1: that's the part that I understand. And Tim Sanders and
Speaker 1: I talked about airlines last time he was on. His
Speaker 1: whole thing was they're the safest they've ever ben And
Speaker 1: I'm my argument is make them this much less safe
Speaker 1: since I'm not the least bit worried about them crashing.
Speaker 1: If it's going to improve, uh the whole airline thing
Speaker 1: and the current system they've got where they don't get
Speaker 1: dinged for uh late takeoffs or landings or this sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. If they keep you on the plane is
Speaker 1: a bad system. Let me off the freaking plain. I
Speaker 1: understand things happen sometime, but let me off the damn plane.
Speaker 1: But keeping you on the plane is torture. H Yeah.
Speaker 4: And after the fiasco, we were sitting on the on
Speaker 4: the tarmac waiting to take off again. They get us refueled,
Speaker 4: We get in the air and the drunk woman she
Speaker 4: had fallen.
Speaker 1: Asleep for a little bit so I thought we were safe.
Speaker 1: She woke back up as a as a lifelong drunk,
Speaker 1: that is the worst. Once you've yeah, yeah, you had
Speaker 1: your you had your your buzz going. You'd peaked it
Speaker 1: just for landing, and then you're gonna keep it going
Speaker 1: where and you get home or whatever, and it's now,
Speaker 1: it's now, it's now, you're past the side where it's
Speaker 1: just you feel sick and your head hurts, and oh
Speaker 1: that's the worst.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, I thought that it was over, but she woke
Speaker 1: up peaked. She was still right all the way in it.
Speaker 4: She asked me if we were in Boise about three
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty six times, and then she put her
Speaker 4: headphones back in and for seated to wrap and drop
Speaker 4: thirteen n bombs.
Speaker 2: Wow, no, yeoh was this a person poc or was
Speaker 2: it a cool Nope?
Speaker 1: She was just a white brunette lady.
Speaker 2: How old boy that's bold.
Speaker 4: Mid forties maybe, And she had you know, the claw
Speaker 4: nails and she was clicking them.
Speaker 2: The whole time, and I just never do that again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was awesome, just you doing that there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we landed and I promised everyone that I
Speaker 4: love that I'm taking horseback whenever I trapple ever, whatever
Speaker 4: it takes, all.
Speaker 1: Those things that you mentioned about her, I think the
Speaker 1: clicking the nails is the one that would have driven
Speaker 1: me to she was.
Speaker 4: She was just everything awful, trying to look on an
Speaker 4: emergency door so I can be arrested by the TSA
Speaker 4: just to get away from her.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I find the wrapping along and dropping in bombs to
Speaker 2: be quite extraordinary. What were the other passengers doing?
Speaker 1: The guy in front of us was black. I was like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: is this gonna be Wow? Did he ever turn around, like, yo,
Speaker 1: what's the deal here?
Speaker 2: He turned around and.
Speaker 4: Looked at her like each time that it happened, but
Speaker 4: didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: Wow. That's because he was probably a reasonable song, said
Speaker 1: trunk idiot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: I saw.
Speaker 4: I thought she was going to get us deep planed
Speaker 4: and Eugene though, you know, they one person acts up
Speaker 4: and then they get everybody off the plane and it
Speaker 4: turns into old I thought that was coming to well.
Speaker 1: The air waitresses flying planes as they should know. I
Speaker 1: was going to say to the pilots, not know how
Speaker 1: miserable it is to be in a plane for an
Speaker 1: hour and a half when you could be walking around
Speaker 1: in an airport. I've done it for longer now. I
Speaker 1: did it for three hours once at Burbank. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just horrible sitting in everybody jammed in the summer.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, there's no fresh air in the
Speaker 1: line for the bathroom gets long, and the bathroom gets
Speaker 1: filled up and they won't they don't send the cart
Speaker 1: out usually.
Speaker 4: It's just it's horrible, full flight. Baby's crying the whole nine.
Speaker 2: So yeah, all Oj said was ain't nobody leaving this
Speaker 2: room and they got him for kidnapping to keep you
Speaker 2: on a damn airplane for hours and say if you
Speaker 2: get off, we're gonna arrest you. Come on and again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got it's got to do with stupid regulations
Speaker 1: and rules that I just wish they would change so
Speaker 1: it didn't have to happen.
Speaker 2: I have the wrong incentives and disself, so I understand
Speaker 2: the logistics of completely unloading the plane and loading you again,
Speaker 2: trying to find everybody and make sure everybody is who
Speaker 2: they claim. You got to run the boarding passes again
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. I get it, but you got
Speaker 2: to figure it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Pete boot edge
Speaker 1: Edge is working on that right now, and I don't
Speaker 1: know how I feel about that, because it's in theory
Speaker 1: a free market where he could come, Heaton, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be barrier of entry. Is too expensive
Speaker 1: for for somebody to get in?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: I mean at some point you're not a free market
Speaker 1: because of that, aren't you?
Speaker 2: Boot Edge Edge edge Edge? They say, will he vanish
Speaker 2: from the national political landscape or is.
Speaker 1: He one of the rock stars to be nominee in
Speaker 1: twenty eight on what basis?
Speaker 2: He's a good because he's known and he's a pleasant
Speaker 2: looking fella.
Speaker 1: He's a he's a good talker, he's good in an
Speaker 1: interview and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Our politics is so stupid.
Speaker 1: Well, I have no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Boot Edge Edge, right edge Edge.
Speaker 1: Katie was this plain full. You couldn't moved. It was
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent full flight. Why don't almost every
Speaker 1: flight I'm on is very rarely I'm not on a
Speaker 1: flight that's not one hundre percent full anymore. Why don't
Speaker 1: more people drinkers bring on the little bottles? I know
Speaker 1: they make the announcement every time that you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to do that. How they're gonna catch me or a pepsi.
Speaker 1: I wait one minute for the person to walk go
Speaker 1: in im port my pepsi. Does that happen a lot
Speaker 1: among drinkers? I don't drink, so I don't know. Be
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper, sure, yeah, I don't. You can't get
Speaker 1: liquid through security, well, you a little. You'd have to
Speaker 1: buy it once you're inside the Yeah, but you can
Speaker 1: buy it when you're inside the whatever you call it, past.
Speaker 2: Security by there in the terminal. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just of crimes that I don't have a moral problem with.
Speaker 1: That'd be one of them. If my passenger gets out
Speaker 1: a little bottle and pours it in their coke to
Speaker 1: save themselves eleven dollars on their drink, I don't care.
Speaker 2: No, I don't care, as long as they don't like
Speaker 2: start singing along and rapping and.
Speaker 1: Clicking your nails.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, that's so awful. I'm not awful. Try that.
Speaker 1: Try that for about five hours, guys. A couple of
Speaker 1: news things to update you on, like little news items
Speaker 1: maybe you haven't heard. South Korea continues to be interesting
Speaker 1: after their near call last week.
Speaker 2: It's getting cou cou cook here in my opinion, and a.
Speaker 1: Bunch of other stuff on the waist to hear.
Speaker 7: Home security cameras capture the crimes, but can't stop package
Speaker 7: thieves from growing.
Speaker 1: Boulder I Do consumer survey finds over the last year.
Speaker 7: Thieves stole at least fifty eight million packages delivered to
Speaker 7: US homes, crimes adding up to twelve billion dollars. That's
Speaker 7: inspired a new kind of insurance for ten dollars a month.
Speaker 7: Porch Pals says it'll cover three stolen items a year
Speaker 7: worth up to two thousand dollars each, or a free option.
Speaker 7: UPS will ship your packages to a local CVS store,
Speaker 7: while Amazon will send packages to your closest Whole Foods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a pain in the ass at all,
Speaker 1: but might be the only thing you can do, depending
Speaker 1: on the neighborhood you live in, and just my own
Speaker 1: personal experience with insurance on some of those shipping companies,
Speaker 1: good luck with that. They got like nine million reasons
Speaker 1: they're not going to cover whatever happened that the all.
Speaker 2: That you heard blah blah blah blah blah or more hangings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just make it such a punishment to get
Speaker 1: caught or keep people in jail. The sort of person
Speaker 1: that's going to steal self off your porch has probably
Speaker 1: committed lots of crimes in our life. You keep him
Speaker 1: in jail and then you don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: it anymore. There's that as an option also, or have
Speaker 1: a lock box on every front porch.
Speaker 2: You hate to have to have that. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: a sign of things gone on.
Speaker 1: Well, like I said last week, that could be just
Speaker 1: become a thing if we're all going to live this
Speaker 1: lifestyle that we have of having so much stuff shipped
Speaker 1: to us all the time.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: So in South Korea, the guy that advised the president
Speaker 1: to declare martial law and pull off a coup got
Speaker 1: thrown in jail and tried to kill himself last night,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't successful.
Speaker 2: He was the Minister of Defense. He was one of
Speaker 2: the highest ranking guys in the government.
Speaker 1: His idea was the coup, which didn't work out luckily
Speaker 1: for South Korea and I think for Western civilization probably,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he must not think his decision was so
Speaker 1: good at this point, apparently not knowing they're going to
Speaker 1: hold another impeachment vote.
Speaker 2: I think it's on Saturday, and this one might succeed.
Speaker 2: And they've the Minister of Justice or somebody told the
Speaker 2: president don't leave the country. You're not allowed to leave
Speaker 2: the country. So that's a hell of a situation that
Speaker 2: you talk about a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say we are the world's oldest democracy and
Speaker 1: we're only a couple hundred years old. I am was
Speaker 1: reading another thing about the history of France the other day.
Speaker 1: I don't remember how it came up, but I mean,
Speaker 1: they haven't been a working democracy that long. It's hard
Speaker 1: to hang on to It ain't.
Speaker 2: Easy right right indeed, especially if you have, say a
Speaker 2: global adversary trying to ruin it for you. Chinese national
Speaker 2: arrested for photographing Vandenberg Space Force Base with drone. This
Speaker 2: is not the New Jersey drones. This is California drones.
Speaker 2: This guy was surveilling the Space Force base and then
Speaker 2: tried to get on a flight to China. Chinese national
Speaker 2: and a lawful permanent resident of the US arrested at
Speaker 2: San Francisco International Airport prior to his flight a few
Speaker 2: days ago. Cool.
Speaker 1: Well, not cool that he was surveilling US, but cool
Speaker 1: that he got caught.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but there are people like this all over
Speaker 2: the country. But yeah, we got to start arresting them
Speaker 2: and understand they're not innocent researchers and students, a lot
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: So even though the rebels now run Syria, they hadn't
Speaker 1: taken every town. And I guess they just took the
Speaker 1: oil rich city of deer Ezor, which I don't know
Speaker 1: that town, And now it's pretty beautiful this time of year.
Speaker 1: Every town of any sizes in the hands of the
Speaker 1: rebels who are promising Jewish, Muslim, Christian they're all here.
Speaker 1: We all want to live in peace and have a
Speaker 1: space now, which is a nice sentiment. An interesting side
Speaker 1: note to that, though in the nineteen forties Syria's Jewish
Speaker 1: community was forty thousand, there are an estimated three, not three,
Speaker 1: three hundred, but three. Good luck finding a Jew in
Speaker 1: Syria to find for an interview to ask them if
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable living there at this point.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. One of the least covered stories of our
Speaker 2: lifetime is the giant five hundred and twenty page report
Speaker 2: put out by the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaker 2: Spent two years looking into the coronavirus the response to it.
Speaker 2: All of the facets of it and what worked didn't
Speaker 2: What was a good idea, what was a bad idea.
Speaker 2: It's remarkable how little coverage it is getting. Zero yeah,
Speaker 2: practically zero, including one of their major findings, quote unquote,
Speaker 2: science never justified the prolonged closure of schools during the
Speaker 2: coronavirus pandemic. Subcommittee concluded its investigation provide their five hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty page report detailing the massive failures committed throughout
Speaker 2: the pandemic, from mask in vaccine mandates to public health
Speaker 2: officials suppressing and dismissing narratives such as the reality of
Speaker 2: natural immunity that they did not like and that would
Speaker 2: not support their draconian policies.
Speaker 1: Man, I hope I never experienced anything like that again,
Speaker 1: where there is such a fever for some ideas that
Speaker 1: all logic goes out the window and horrible things are
Speaker 1: done like that, because it's right, it's scary, it's clearly
Speaker 1: human nature. It's happened in every civilization, sometimes leading to
Speaker 1: their downfall, and it was something to have lived through.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, can't believe it. Just can't
Speaker 1: believe it even happened.
Speaker 2: So one major point of controversy throughout the pandemic was
Speaker 2: the so called science behind the prolonged school closures. As
Speaker 2: it turns out, as many have already known, there was none. Quote.
Speaker 2: A summary of the report reads, the science never justified
Speaker 2: prolonged school closures. They explained that children were not likely
Speaker 2: to contribute to the spread of the virus, were not
Speaker 2: likely to suffer from severe illness or mortality. Quote. Instead,
Speaker 2: as a result of school closures, children experienced hysteric historic
Speaker 2: learning loss, higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical
Speaker 2: wal well being.
Speaker 1: He left out the giants, But but the teachers unions
Speaker 1: were able to strong arm out of the government into
Speaker 1: the taxpayer billions and billions and billions and billions and
Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars. And they care about that
Speaker 1: more than kids. Apparently armstrong and getty. How like Christmas
Speaker 1: cards and Christmas songs and give me wood? So is
Speaker 1: this Jesus' birthday turned somewhat into a gift giving holiday
Speaker 1: not related to Jesus? And then you put out a
Speaker 1: second a thirst trap song.
Speaker 2: What exactly what's going on here? Anyway? Santa is going
Speaker 2: to come down the chimney and really deliver huh uh?
Speaker 1: When last we left Joe Getty, he was telling us
Speaker 1: about this new COVID report that nobody will pay any
Speaker 1: attention to, even though it's incredibly important right Indeed, in
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful points is that there was
Speaker 1: no scientific basis for keeping the schools closed nearly, nearly
Speaker 1: nearly as long as we did. In fact, not at all.
Speaker 2: And they go back to the even in the early
Speaker 2: months in Wuhan, China, the results were known that children
Speaker 2: were not vectors and did not suffer from the disease
Speaker 2: very much at all. But and then they get into
Speaker 2: the really unholy part, which is what I want to
Speaker 2: talk about. The subcommittee found that the Biden administration CDC
Speaker 2: broke its own presidents and rules and provided a political
Speaker 2: teachers organization with access to its scientific school reopening guidance quote.
Speaker 2: Former CDC director Rachelle Wallenski asked the American Federation of
Speaker 2: Teachers to provide specific language for the guidance and even
Speaker 2: went so far as to accept numerous edits made by
Speaker 2: the AFT. The report itself states quote that many schools
Speaker 2: remained closed because of AFT and Miss Randy winingartens political
Speaker 2: interference into the CDC issuance of the Biden administration's first
Speaker 2: school reopening guidance entitled Operational Strategy for Kate through twelvesco
Speaker 2: go through phrase prevention blah blah blah, on February twelve,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Ultimately, these subcommittee said these schools closures
Speaker 2: were simply not rooted in science, and what makes me
Speaker 2: insane about that? And Randy Winegarten, who we quoted who
Speaker 2: called her the most dangerous person in America, can't remember.
Speaker 2: It was somebody you know, we respect, and I think
Speaker 2: it's true. Here's the crazy part. Trump's nominee for Secretary
Speaker 2: of Labor, who's a true Rhino or Republican name only
Speaker 2: from Oregon, Lorie Chavez d Riemer is a close friend
Speaker 2: of Randy Winingarten, a close associate of the Teachers Union,
Speaker 2: and wants to make federal law outlaw all of the
Speaker 2: red state reforms that govern like public employee unions. She
Speaker 2: is a hardcore leftivist, leftist, union an activist hack and
Speaker 2: I don't know what she did to kiss Trump's butt,
Speaker 2: but she is not only a bad choice, she's a
Speaker 2: bizarre choice. She's against everything Elon Musk wants to do
Speaker 2: in the federal government or the Doge guys, the Doge brothers.
Speaker 2: She is hardcore against everything they want to do. I
Speaker 2: do not get this choice at all.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, team of rivals, team of people trying to
Speaker 1: actively sabotage your top policies.
Speaker 2: She won't make it. The Republican Senate will get word
Speaker 2: to Trump. Hey, I don't know how this chick fell
Speaker 2: into your favor, but get her back out again.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Senate, we've got one of our favorite
Speaker 1: senators out there, John Fetterman, weighed in on the nut
Speaker 1: job killer of the United Healthcare CEO. Before we get
Speaker 1: to that, here's a couple of news reports around that
Speaker 1: whole Delio.
Speaker 5: Manjoni's case has become a cause, with admirers posting videos
Speaker 5: on Instagram. A social media profile gained hundreds of thousands
Speaker 5: of followers after his arrest, and the police department that
Speaker 5: arrested Manchoni has been threatened. His lawyer's office has been
Speaker 5: inundated with calls from people offering to pay his legal bills.
Speaker 8: It's not only in the digital world. We saw a
Speaker 8: lookalike contest in New York. People are selling things, or
Speaker 8: we're selling things with Manjoni's image on Etsy.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of an interesting angle. Some new information
Speaker 1: about the killer out today. Oh, let's hear him rant
Speaker 1: and Raven that little clip. This is him. He's being
Speaker 1: led from like the police van into the courthouse and
Speaker 1: he decides to do some screaming. He was kind of
Speaker 1: not walking in the way he was supposed to, and
Speaker 1: they jammed him up against the wall pretty hard, which
Speaker 1: I didn't have any problem with.
Speaker 2: Yelling about something being insult to the inteligence of the
Speaker 2: American whatever.
Speaker 1: Shut up anyway, More information from his notebook that he
Speaker 1: had in his backpack while he's sitting there at the
Speaker 1: McDonald's with his mask down eating his ash browns, which
Speaker 1: is how he got caught. He had to pull down
Speaker 1: his mask to eat. That's simple science right there. And
Speaker 1: some people saw him say it looks like the guy
Speaker 1: from the shooter, guy from the Starbucks, doesn't it the hostel?
Speaker 1: And you know how that all went down. Inside his backpack,
Speaker 1: he's got the gun, he's got a cell phone, and
Speaker 1: he's got some sort of sophisticated blocking device that keeps
Speaker 1: you from tracking the cell phone. So that that's why
Speaker 1: I think the guy's some sort of crazy I mean
Speaker 1: cause he was, you know, got to come up with
Speaker 1: this batman style, hides my cell phone so the FEDS
Speaker 1: can't follow me around. Meanwhile, I'll sit here to McDonald's
Speaker 1: being one of the most famous, notorious people in America
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. I just I don't
Speaker 1: know if that all fits together. Well, that's why certain
Speaker 1: people think he's a fake. At Patsy forgot that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a big that's a big thing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Go on Twitter and search Luigi Patsy and follow all
Speaker 1: the threads from lots of people, included people he may
Speaker 1: have heard of. We think it's clearly a setup, all right.
Speaker 1: They also released today that his fingerprints match, so of
Speaker 1: course that's part of the deep state.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they took the fingers off of an inmate
Speaker 2: and planted them on this guy's hand to make him
Speaker 2: a better Patsy.
Speaker 1: So CNN got a hold of stuff of some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that was in his handwritten notebook, his to
Speaker 1: do list of tasks before he went about murdering an
Speaker 1: innocent man in cold blood. One of the things he
Speaker 1: wrote in there man killing the CEO at his own
Speaker 1: bean counting conference. Nothing could be better and noted that
Speaker 1: a bomb would kill innocence, so I should better go
Speaker 1: with a gun than a bomb. Interesting that he's like
Speaker 1: journaling about this stuff. There's one other thing I wanted
Speaker 1: to get on here, thought that was interesting. Blah blah
Speaker 1: blah bah. The alleged manifesto included raging remarks about the
Speaker 1: parasitic health insurance companies and express disdain for corporate greed
Speaker 1: and power. He allegedly also wrote that the US has
Speaker 1: the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that
Speaker 1: profits of major corporations are rising while a life expectancy
Speaker 1: is not. Then, he writes to the FEDS, I'll keep
Speaker 1: this short because I do respect what you do for
Speaker 1: our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state
Speaker 1: plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. Interesting He, up
Speaker 1: until days before he went to New York had been
Speaker 1: living in a apartment slash condo in Honolulu, Hawaii, one
Speaker 1: thousand square feet four thousand dollars a month. Not clear
Speaker 1: how that was being paid for what he was doing
Speaker 1: at that time. Well, he had eight k in cash
Speaker 1: when they arrested him, too. Oh, let's play the tape
Speaker 1: of his roommatee. Sure this is not really relevant, but
Speaker 1: I thought was darkly funny in a way.
Speaker 2: Thirty six Michael. Sorry, he did let.
Speaker 9: Me know that the severity of his back issue was
Speaker 9: such that it was very difficult to have physical relationships
Speaker 9: with women, that it made things painful.
Speaker 2: I admit, funny. I think that's been edited because I
Speaker 2: saw that raw clip and he like hemmed and hawed,
Speaker 2: Uh it too, well, it was painful to have sex. Dude,
Speaker 2: just say it's okay, you can just say have sex?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: Was he hemming and haweing over the idea of him
Speaker 1: having relationships with women? I assumed the guy was gay
Speaker 1: or is gay, and that his roommate was gay. I
Speaker 1: was just assuming that. I was so assuming that that
Speaker 1: I thought that I knew that. But I don't think
Speaker 1: I do know that.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're you're you're outing the guy now or something.
Speaker 2: I don't super fit.
Speaker 1: I don't he just fits all the I don't know,
Speaker 1: just came off as a gate. It doesn't matter talking now,
Speaker 1: what doesn't make any gone down road?
Speaker 2: Why around weird cliches? I don't know what sort of
Speaker 2: bigotrees ready to spill out of your filthy mouths.
Speaker 1: Is being super fit bigotry. But John Fetterman, Senator from Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: is asked about the whole Luigi being a folk hero
Speaker 1: thing and said, yesterday, he's the a hole, except he
Speaker 1: says the whole world, he's the a hole that's going
Speaker 1: to die in prison. Congratulations. If you want to celebrate
Speaker 1: that a sewer is going to sewer. That's what social
Speaker 1: media is about this. And I don't know why the
Speaker 1: media wants to turn that into a story. Just with
Speaker 1: these trolls saying these kinds of things anonymously like that,
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's news. Remember, he has two children,
Speaker 1: back to the guy that got murdered, he has two
Speaker 1: children that are going to grow up without their father.
Speaker 1: It's vile. And if you've gotten someone down that you
Speaker 1: don't happen to agree with their views or their business
Speaker 1: that they're in, Hey, you know what, guess what. I'm next.
Speaker 1: They're next, He's next, She's next, which is of.
Speaker 2: Course John and if you need him, yeah, yeah, so true.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe there's no way.
Speaker 1: I don't care how smart you think you are, you
Speaker 1: can't come up with a worldview where vigilantes selectively get
Speaker 1: to assassinate people and have a society function. It's impossible,
Speaker 1: right right to.
Speaker 2: What extent are these many questions we've asked about society
Speaker 2: and social media, and Bubba answered by, look, fifteen percent
Speaker 2: of humanities here adeemable. Just live with it. They're scumbags,
Speaker 2: they have scumbag ideas. They're a moral, immoral, or too
Speaker 2: dopey to come up with any sort of moral code
Speaker 2: for themselves. They say filthy, terrible, idiotic things. Just deal
Speaker 2: with it. I mean, all these, even somebody who's ostensibly intelligent,
Speaker 2: like Taylor Lorenz, who is a moral monster. She's an
Speaker 2: awful human being. She's part of that fifteen percent. I
Speaker 2: guess keep them away from May, shipped them off to
Speaker 2: desert islands. I don't know, but so many things we
Speaker 2: talk about are answered by yeah, about fifteen percent of humanity.
Speaker 1: This sucks, well, this particular crowd.
Speaker 2: And I picked that number out of nowhere. Maybe it's fifty.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this based on something Charles cw.
Speaker 1: A Cook of National Review wrote about his least favorite
Speaker 1: kind of person that thinks they're smarter than everybody else. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, half of people are smarter than everybody else.
Speaker 1: The old joke is, remember half the country's below average intelligence.
Speaker 1: Remember that, but half the country is above average intelligence.
Speaker 1: So it's not just that, but it's that particular kind
Speaker 1: of I'm smarter than everybody else, I'm smarter than the system,
Speaker 1: I'm smarter than society. There's some aspect of that, and
Speaker 1: I've known a few of those people.
Speaker 2: They're scary, yes, well, and they often have as like
Speaker 2: the cousin their brother emotion, the fact that their anger
Speaker 2: is so legitimate and so righteous it justifies virtually anything.
Speaker 1: Our old producer Dominic had that view, kind of the
Speaker 1: the you know, the only stupid people followed the rules.
Speaker 1: He was just, you know, I'm smarter than the system,
Speaker 1: I'm smarter than society. That crowd, and clearly this Luigi
Speaker 1: guy was the same sort of guy. You know, I
Speaker 1: see through the all of everything and get it in
Speaker 1: a way that all you regular people don't.
Speaker 2: Those people are scary, Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 1: At least he's going to be in prison the rest
Speaker 1: of his life. We will finish strong next.
Speaker 2: Thomas Hornel's a brit He he's involved in writing about
Speaker 2: business and helping entrepreneurs and stuff like that, and he
Speaker 2: just spent ten days in the USA for Business and
Speaker 2: he wrote something really really interesting. And I read this
Speaker 2: not to like brag about the US exactly, but to
Speaker 2: remind us to be that he said, I discovered the
Speaker 2: ocean between US isn't all it's mindset. Here are seven
Speaker 2: uncomfortable truths. One financial openness. Americans freely discuss salaries, deals, revenue.
Speaker 2: Brits are guarded and awkward on money matters.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, interesting, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Number two belief and possibility. Discuss big plans in America,
Speaker 2: people say why not in the UK? Why bother? One
Speaker 2: culture expands the other stifles. Three Rising tide mentality. Americans
Speaker 2: celebrate wins with genuine, infectious enthusiasm. It's all let's go
Speaker 2: high five celebrations. BRIT's tut cringe with impotent envy and think,
Speaker 2: who does he think he is? One attitude lifts all boats,
Speaker 2: the other sinks them. I think there is a lot
Speaker 2: of the politics of env in the US that's creeping in,
Speaker 2: Like we demonize people who become successful. It used to
Speaker 2: be in the culture people really admired it. Well, the
Speaker 2: only thing on my mind is how did Great Britain
Speaker 2: end up here? What did they do exactly exactly. Point
Speaker 2: number four learning focus, every win, shared, trigger fired, rapid questions,
Speaker 2: what worked? How'd you do it? Can you teach me?
Speaker 2: Can you show me? American study success BRIT's suspect it.
Speaker 2: Number five risk tolerance. Failure in America is proof you
Speaker 2: took a big swing and missed. This time in the UK,
Speaker 2: it's like a generational stain. We tried scrubbing off quietly
Speaker 2: behind closed doors, No wonder America's scales well, Britain stagnates.
Speaker 2: That really gives a couple of examples. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: love that idea. Though of failure in america's proof you
Speaker 2: took a big swing and missed. I've met so many
Speaker 2: people who said, and then I went broke, but then
Speaker 2: we and I think that's great even if you don't
Speaker 2: have a comeback.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't knock anybody who like, tried to
Speaker 1: open a restaurant and didn't work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, you tried the speed of execution. In
Speaker 2: the USA, the attitude is let's make it happen, jump
Speaker 2: on a call, refer through networks, action first mentality. In
Speaker 2: the UK, let's be realistic. List all problems, first worst
Speaker 2: case scenarios. Every reason not to try. They ship away
Speaker 2: while we shuffle, and then the final I think it's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the final point follow the money. Britain will lose nearly
Speaker 2: ten thousand millionaires this year. The US is forecast to
Speaker 2: gain nearly four thousand capital flows where it's respected, not resented.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the only thing on my mind through that
Speaker 1: is how did Great Britain end up there? Because they weren't.
Speaker 1: They were the economic powerhouse of the world for a
Speaker 1: very long time. Does taxation reach your point where people
Speaker 1: are like, what's the point?
Speaker 2: Post WW two devastation socialism took hold because everybody was
Speaker 2: so down and out and what was necessary at the
Speaker 2: time then led to all of the inevitable results of socialism,
Speaker 2: the shared misery of not achieving.
Speaker 6: This final thoughts, news soon, well your comments and yes,
Speaker 6: closure all the show.
Speaker 1: Here's yours for final thoughts. Joe Getty, it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crewid
Speaker 2: wrap things up for the day. Michael Angelow lead us off.
Speaker 2: This was my interaction yesterday with a Target employee at
Speaker 2: the cash register. I said, Hey, happy holidays, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm fine? You know, could I have a bag. I guess.
Speaker 4: So I'm thinking that they're getting beaten down with only
Speaker 4: two minutes or two weeks away from Christmas.
Speaker 2: It reminds me I keep going to bring up Target
Speaker 2: is abandoned. I'm sorry Walmart is abandoning their DEI programs.
Speaker 2: Good for them. Katie Greener esteemed Newswan as a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4: I saw this earlier, and I think it's brilliant. How
Speaker 4: to politely tell someone they're stupid. Wisdom has been chasing you,
Speaker 4: but you have always been found.
Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Jack. Final thought, breaking news Donald Junior has broken up
Speaker 1: with Kimberly Gilfoyle newsome full team coverage next hour or
Speaker 1: not on next hour like father, like son. Perhaps decided
Speaker 1: he want to be a younger model. Or maybe too
Speaker 1: many facelifts and he's starting to get frightened at night.
Speaker 1: Or she seems like a long day. It's hard to say.
Speaker 1: It could be any of those things.
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, you have many theories. Maybe you can do
Speaker 2: a podcast on it. My final thought worked out in
Speaker 2: the gym yesterday, strained my shoulder. Now I can do nothing.
Speaker 2: I'm in terrible pain. The gym is too dangerous. I've
Speaker 2: never been injured on the couch. Her choice is clear.
Speaker 1: He's like my son. I'm starting to getty wrapping up
Speaker 1: another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 2: So many people thanks so a little time good Armstrong
Speaker 2: and Getty dot com. It's probably around the last day
Speaker 2: to get some great ang swag Californians against Caliucornia t shirt.
Speaker 1: See them on God Bless America.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 1: What a personal privilege. That didn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I just didn't. Are you so a little too much?
Speaker 2: Dotty dots?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go out with a bang. Shoot, damn,
Speaker 2: I'm a woman. Now, I'm a woman. Did you hear that? God?
Speaker 1: You are not a fetching broad?
Speaker 2: That was a little blunt. I feel pretty well good.
Speaker 1: Everyone should that I note.
Speaker 2: Thanks you all very much, Armstrong and Getty
