WEBVTT - Get Ripped...Madagascar 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:07.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:11.880 Washington Broadcast Center of Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:13.480 Jetty and he. 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.560 Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.520 And the right in this country and our constitution did 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.600 not have to answer questions that might incriminate you. 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:29.960 It's called the Fifth Amendment. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.800 And the doctor Fauci was in front of Rand Paul 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.320 and his committee made up of Republicans and Yes Democrats 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.960 yesterday in Washington, d c. And every question he was 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.440 asked from when did you know the virus came from 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.360 the lab? To what color is your tie? He pleaded 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.199 the fifth. Here's a little montage of that. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.400 Your question, did you. 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.520 A secret document that I think you need to say? 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.360 As you could see there that's Dave Chappelle. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.920 I don't know that would have been portraying someone who 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:19.800 took the fifth over and over again. Whatever you asked 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.600 me fifth it would be. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:22.080 It does? 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.920 It does seem like odd that we have to go 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:29.360 through the whole every question. He has to reread the thing. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.480 Like I was just gonna say, like in a in 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.920 an article, instead of constantly spelling out the International Association 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:44.119 of Beaver Stuffing taxidermy professionals. You just have I e whatever, Yeah, 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.280 or just even like the symbol X. Just have him 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.240 say X save us all something. Have a paddle that's orange. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.160 Every time I put up the paddle. It's the fifth 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:59.200 fifth Amendment. Fifth? Would anybody have not understood if you 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:04.120 just said fifth again? Right? Yeah, that's ridiculous anyway. So 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.320 it's been interesting. Slash makes me want to break things 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:13.160 observing the response to not only the hearing yesterday, but 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:18.679 the just in general. The question of what was COVID policy, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.720 what was Anthony Fauci's role in it, the origin of 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.280 the virus, the rest of it. It has become as 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:31.960 knee jerk partisan as the most mundane question of should 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.280 property taxes be high or lower? I mean, just nobody 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.960 is approaching this, well, few people with any intellectual honesty. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.480 And it's annoying, to say the least. A Senator Daniel 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.480 Kim yesterday in the hearing, thank you, Democrat, to you 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.800 for your service to this nation. Yeah, he just like 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.320 most of the Democrats, just licked Fauci's boots or sensible 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.480 loafers or whatever he wears. He's eighty five. I'd forgotten 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.839 that he's old as the hills. He's in pretty good shape. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.480 There's lots of pictures in the New York Post of 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.200 him walking with his wife last not apparently muttering and cursing. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.920 He was so angry still from the hearing. Now he 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.560 is eighty five years old. Seems to be quite metally 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.200 sharp too. That's how he keeps the cover up together. Yeah, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.800 Eli Lake today in the Free Press pleading the fifth 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.280 won't spare Fauci from the truth. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.840 Well, that's media like that. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.160 But I was watching Morning Joe like I do, probably 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.520 for fifteen minutes every day to see what the Trumpeyton 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.760 MSNBC crowd is talking about, and they had nothing. As 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.200 far as I can tell, they haven't even mentioned the 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.800 Fauci diaries. So if you view that show, you're completely 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.560 unaware that Fauci's diaries were subpoened, which I find troubling actually, 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.240 But they were subpoened, and we now know that he 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.920 had determined in January twenty twenty. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.640 That it didn't come out of the lab. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.160 He flat out lined the next day he was on 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.640 cable news talking about it, you know, having natural origin. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.800 So he just flat out why to people? And I 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.680 think you may be overstating it a little bit, because 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.560 according to the diary, he knew it didn't start in 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.480 the market. He says he thought it was of natural origin, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.120 but ten of the twelve folks he talked to thought 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.240 it was lab leek. As I recall dag up the 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:25.000 actual entry again, I will feel free. Yeah. So I'd 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.800 like to get into that Eli Lake piece in detail, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:33.359 because it's very, very good. The Wall Street Journal editorial board. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.480 Doctor Fauci takes the fifth alas, and I'm going to 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.000 get into the ultimate Fauci indictment in just a moment 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.039 or two, and I'm going to steal some of my 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.440 own own thunder. But I thought this was very good 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.840 they get into it would be all the questions ran 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.839 Paul asked and posed, and it would be good to 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.560 hear doctor Fauci respond. We know from previous disclosures that 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.359 doctors Fauci and Collins tried to demean the author of 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.360 the twenty twenty Great Barrier Great Barrington Declaration that favored 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.080 focused protection on the old and sick rather than wholesale lockdowns. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.440 They mocked them and tried to silence them. The duo 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.200 favored media censorship of those and other dissenting views. Doctor 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.360 Fauci might not be facing this tough scrutiny now if 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.159 he and the press had worked so hard to stifle 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:25.000 COVID debate at the time. Then he goes into a 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.760 list of the media fawning and I really want to 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.080 get to that, but I'm going to hold off because 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.000 I promised you in the indictment and I want to 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.719 bring it to you. Jump in if you find what 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:36.800 you're looking for there, Jack. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.400 Yeah, he does not say, to your point that it 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.400 came from the lab, but he says definitively that it 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.039 did not come from the market. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.680 Now we know the market was not the source. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:53.120 It was the amplifier using epidata and genomic data. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:53.880 Blah blah blah. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.840 The first infection it was in early December and not 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:56.760 connected to the market. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.320 He was saying it was. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.000 Connected to the market twenty four within twenty four hours 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.240 on gable news channels. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.359 Exactly true. That's a flat out lie. Yes, yeah, that 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.719 he knew of He knew he was lying correct. Correct. 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.760 So this is posed in a series of questions that 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.320 could have been asked to Anthony Fauci, And this is 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:22.479 a absolutely business like indictment, and it sickens and horrifies me. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.200 The Democrats, for whatever reason, can't approach it like this, 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.240 but I've just got to accept it anyway. One, Why 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.400 did you testify under oath that nih quote has not 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.360 ever and does not now fund gain of function research 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.040 at the Wuhan Institute of Riology when the documentary record 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.440 shows a direct funding chain from your agency to the 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.760 experiments in question. NIAID awarded EcoHealth Alliance a grant to 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.160 study back coronaviruses in China, with the Wuhan Institute as 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.919 a sub recipient. Successive papers by the Wuhan The institute 0:06:55.960 --> 0:07:02.080 researchers expressly acknowledged that funding, and then they skip two. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.880 Soon after the funding was reinstated in twenty sixteen, EcoHealth 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.920 president Peter Dazak emailed agency officials jubilantly announcing that his 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:18.280 organizations quote gain of function research funding pause had been 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.400 lifted and your own private words confirmed that you understood 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.160 the nature of the work. They go into a full 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:30.760 explanation of that. That's question one. Question two to Jack's 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.960 point earlier, in your personal diary entry of jan twenty six, 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.840 twenty twenty, barely a month into the outbreak, you wrote, quote, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.920 now we know the market was not the source, it 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.720 was the amplifier. Why then, did you and the public 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.040 health establishment continue presenting the Hohunan seafood market as the 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.240 probable site at which COVID nineteen first crossed into humans, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:53.080 rather than acknowledging that your own contemporary information indicated that 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.920 the virus had already been circulating before it reached the market. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.200 And while he doesn't specifically say it was the lab, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.160 then you get into the John Stewart argument of huh, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.880 wonder where it came from? Then? 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.320 I wonder if it was the virus lab where they 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:08.600 studied this right there? 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.720 Yeah, precisely that sort of virus gie, I don't know. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.800 Question three. At the April seventeen, twenty twenty White House 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.640 press conference, with President Trump standing beside you, you invoked 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.800 the Proximal Origin paper to assure the public that COVID 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:27.280 nineteen had emerged naturally, claiming that the virus' genetic characteristics 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.200 were quote totally consistent with a jump from a species 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.760 to an animal to a human. You portrayed the paper 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.360 as an independent work of outside scientists and claim not 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.120 to know the author's names, Yet the documentary record shows 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.120 that you helped set the process in motion, organizing the 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.240 critical February one conference call from which the paper emerged, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.360 remained in direct contact with lead author Christian Anderson, and 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:53.200 reviewed drafts before its publication. When Nature Medicine accepted the paper, 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.400 Anderson personally thanked you for your role quote, thank you 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.559 again for your advice in the leadership as we have 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.440 been working through the stars. Cod you to Origin's paper. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.040 Why did you present the paper as independent scientific confirmation 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.520 when you had been intimately involved in the process that 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.280 brought it into existence? But that would be a waste 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.880 of time in looking at the past, according to democrats 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.080 in the mainstream media. Four Why did you instruct NIH 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.400 director Francis Collins on February second, twenty twenty, the day 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.280 after the proximal Origin conference call, to quote, please delete 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.280 this email after you read it. Why did you issue 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.280 another delete after reading instruction to your own staff in 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.120 July of the same year. You later testified that you 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.040 never deleted federal records or sought to obstruct their production. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.640 What legitimate government purpose was served by those instructions where 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.640 the emails actually deleted? And how many other communications. Did 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:50.400 you direct colleagues or subordinates to destroy five the private 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.960 lab leak assessments? Your own notes from February first, twenty 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.960 twenty conference call record that only two of the twelve 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.160 scientists participating believed in natural origin was likely, while quote 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.040 your quote, Doctor Fauci, the rest felt that deliberate insertion 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.640 was possible. Released slack messages make the contradiction even more damning. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.360 Christian Anderson, the lead author of the proximal origin paper, 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.000 privately wrote that quote the lab escape version of this 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.800 is so friggin likely to have happened because they were 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.480 already doing this type of work, and the molecular data 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.800 is fully consistent with that scenario. End quote. The authors 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:32.640 continued privately assigning meaningful probabilities to a laboratory origin, expressing 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.280 doubts about their own conclusions. It's discussing how to curate 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.959 their communications, even as they publicly defended the paper, which 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.280 claimed it couldn't have been the lab and portrayed laboratory 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.439 involvement as scientifically impossible. These were scientists who had helped 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.720 assemble advice, remained in contact with, and tasked with producing 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.440 the paper you later promoted from the White House podium 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.200 as independent scientific evidence against a laboratory origin. So which 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:03.000 one is it? I'm summarizing a little more, but this 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.960 is interesting the keep dancing coordination. On May twenty third 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.080 of twenty one, the same day reports emerged that three 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.360 researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had become ill 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.360 with COVID like symptoms. In November of twenty nineteen, Christian 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.520 Anderson wrote his wrote to his proximal origin co authors 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.079 after meeting with you and your team again in twenty one, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.520 According to the newly released Slack message, Anderson told them 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.960 that you and your team quote get it and deeply 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.760 appreciate what we're doing, so we'll keep dancing. What exactly 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.200 did you and Anderson discuss? What did he mean by 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.360 doing what we're doing? And why did he characterize your 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.160 continued public messaging as a coordinated performance. And then they 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.160 get into some of the science about the fur in 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:53.600 cleavage site silence. You may remember that how the there's 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.040 a certain aspect of the of the the way this 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.560 virus attaches to cells that is absent from all of 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.560 its closest known natural relatives. Indeed, no natural stars like 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.480 coronavirus had a foreign cleavage site that has ever been found. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.160 It's kind of the smoking gun of lab manipulation. And 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.080 I'm going to leave out the last two because I 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.839 think they're less important. I think the point has been 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.360 made and I don't want to wear it out, but 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.880 I think the takeaway from this is, my God, people 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:37.760 will cling to their tribal accepted rhetoric in the face 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.720 of anything. I don't know what we do with that 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.200 information going forward. It used to be there was a 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.680 lot more overlap, not just policy wise, but patriotism wise 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.280 between the parties. The nine to eleven Commission said, Hey, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.200 Democrats made mistakes, Republicans made mistakes. We made some big mistakes, 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:01.760 you know, Kennedy assassination. Virtually every significant, you know, post 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:06.360 hoc investigation in congressional history has had at least a 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.280 significant chunk of all. Right, Yeah, let's figure out what's 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.480 going on. I'm not gonna let you like make this 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.080 one sided, but yeah, I'm gonna call some fouls on 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.400 my own side. The fact that we're missing that is 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:18.600 that's a serious. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:23.080 Problem, right, you know, And we used to if a 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.920 Supreme Court justice nominee came up they were usually approved 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.200 ninety eight to one, one hundred to nothing. That was 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.320 common my whole life. Yeah, now it's a fight to 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.319 the death every single time, and it's which party as 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.680 the most senator, including making up just horrific slanderous stories. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.280 For what it's worth. Credit to Hans Monkey and the 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:50.760 not Monkey but mon Ma Hunkey at the Federalist for 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.040 a good bit of what I was just reading to you. 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.079 We will post a link at Armstrong and Giddy dot 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.360 com under hot links so you can access it if 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.760 you would like to read it yourself. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:06.280 The circular investing squad that is a I makes it 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.000 sure look like a bubble. We'll get to that a 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.240 little bit later. The economic data is out on how 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.080 faster her economy has grown, not very fast, at least 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.360 in this quarter, and other stuff on the way. Stay here, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:17.599 farm Strong. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.000 A mega Million's ticket holder can Florida yesterday won the 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.320 eight hundred million dollar jackpot, And if I know Florida, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.840 they're going to use the money to buy eight hundred 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.080 million more tickets. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.440 You know that is utterly unfair to the great state 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.440 of Florida. But it was kind of funny. Oh that 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.840 reminds me do we have audio on this? Sorry, I 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.040 know you're going to do something. Florida executed two dudes. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.160 Oh that's right. We have a Gutfeldt joke about that, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.440 which I'm sure states full and gentle inspirra. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.640 Oh maybe maybe we can play the joke next and 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.960 talk about it. I am always interested in these execut 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:01.560 stories in the modern America. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.680 Two guys in one day. Wow, So I got out 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:06.320 the conversation. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.120 I brought this up last hour because I went to 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.560 the Odyssey and I'm watching The Odyssey and all the 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.960 shirtless Matt Damon scenes and thinking to myself, Matt Damon, 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.440 isn't that jacked. There's no way, And then saw him 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:22.080 like a day later at the soccer finals or wherever 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.120 he was, and he looks like a completely different person 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.720 than that guy rolling out on the beach. And so 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.840 I've done a little research on this, and Christopher Nolan 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.160 doesn't do CGI on actors' bodies. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.560 According to all. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:40.480 Sources, that was Matt Damon's body in like ninety nine 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.360 point eight percent of the movie. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.040 I don't quite understand that. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.120 Matt Damon does say he got down to one hundred 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.600 and sixty seven, which was his high school weight that 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.040 Christopher Noan took him five months of heavy training. Christopher 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.680 Nolan said, I don't need you to get bigger. I 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.800 just want you to be incredibly lean. And then apparently 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.080 the angles in the lighting do the rest. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:15:59.720 You don't need. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.640 See if you get the right lighting and angles. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.280 Wow, where do they sell those lights? You know? How 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.560 does that cost you? Ever? 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.480 Like, catch yourself at the right angle, you know, in 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.440 a dimly lit mirror or something, you think, ah, I 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:13.440 look pretty fantastic. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.280 Then you catch yourself at a different angle though brightly 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:21.520 it's exactly fuss station bathroom lighting. Yeah. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.560 Right. But here's here's the part I didn't know because 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.880 I have texted a buddy of mine who works out 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.400 a lot before, saying, I wish I could have the 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.600 I wish I always looked like I look right after 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:33.160 my workout. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.000 I mean, you definitely get pumped up when you're working out. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.400 I look significantly different after I do bench presses than 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.560 I do before. But it wears off. You know, you've 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.760 literally pumped up your body. And they do that before 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.960 the scenes. Matt Damon and all the other actors. They 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.840 work out for like an hour get their but their 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.320 arms and chest, all pumped up their legs whatever it's 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.320 going to be in the scene, and then shoot. 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.360 The scene real fast. Yeah. I didn't know they did that. 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.840 I remember I knew some guys in high school would 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.639 do that too. They would get a bunch of sets 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.560 of whatever in before they went to school so they'd 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:08.760 look all muscular. Wow. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.359 Yeah, I could see them there doing him any good, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.040 but also worth knowing if you'd like to look like 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.480 Matt Damon does in the Odyssey. He said, looking like 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.680 that is a full time job, and I'm not interested 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.760 in making that my full time job. So no, I 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:25.640 don't look like that anymore me neither Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.159 Florida just executed two inmates. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.440 One was eighty years old. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.159 You knew he was eighty because he sent his final 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.360 meal back four times. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.040 Wow. That's a pretty good jay. Yeah, this is a 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:47.199 little too rare. Wow, Wow, throw that back on. I 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:53.800 specifically said no tomatoes. So yeah, Florida has executed two 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.200 men within hours of each other the other day. Both 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.000 had been convicted of horrific murders in the eight. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:06.600 Yeah. Usually when you look into the crimes of these 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.960 people that are executed they're just so horrific you wish. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:10.520 You hadn't read them. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.560 One of the reasons I'm against the death penalty, I 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.800 should have a problem with the state taking lives. I don't, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.960 So that's not the reason. The fact that it costs 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:28.640 taxpayers so much money and so rarely yields an execution, right, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.000 That's why I'm against it. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.160 Yeah, Yeah, I totally see your point. This guy, one 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.520 of them was sixty eight years old James Duckett, former 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.960 police officer who is convicted of sexually assaulting and strangling 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:46.600 an eleven year old girl. And then dominic Ochi Cohne, 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.200 who was the eighty year old, was executed like four 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.679 hours later. He was convicted of murdering his ex girlfriend's parents. 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.520 He became the second action degenarian to put to death 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.320 in the US in the last fifty years. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.840 Better late than ever. I say, why in Florida does 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.200 it take forty years to execute somebody? 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:09.480 Understanding California, I think Florida is like half supplying half 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.359 the executions. Yeah, accounted for more than half the executions 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.000 in the US this year, and at least one more 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.280 is scheduled, but it's only a few. I'm gonna just 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:22.359 let's give the victims families a voice. Here twenty four 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:27.400 is one of the victims relatives. Obviously, all this done. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.800 A big wait, forty years, I. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:35.440 Haven't him dead, and then another relative. 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.080 And forty years. It shouldn't have took forty years. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.399 For my aunt to see justice. 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:47.600 I'm just glad that she's still alive to see this closure. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.840 You know. Yeah. One of the other interesting aspects of 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.919 the death penalty that we've talked about before is that 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.960 a lot of the victims in the family yere victims, 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.040 the husband, the wife, a mother, whoever, of the of 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.560 the actual murder victim March, just what was done to 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:10.119 them is unimaginable. A lot of them expect that the 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.320 execution will bring closure, and it might bring a measure 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.000 of satisfaction, but it doesn't bring anything close to closure. No, 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.840 there's still the grief, the pain. Anyway, it's a complicated topic. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:21.040 We'll talk about it in another time. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:28.800 Yeah, I have to these people deserve to die, I say, hell, yet, 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.440 one hundred percent, I have no problem with that. I've 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.280 never understood anybody who protests against the death penalty just 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.919 because I don't understand. I understand being against the death penalty. 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.000 I understand being morally hardcore against death penalty. I don't 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.560 understand elevating that to your to the top of your 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:49.800 causes that you're willing to dedicate time to it. Given 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.320 the scumbags that are involved in being snuff there are 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.520 a lot of things out there that could be fixed 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.360 that you probably don't like about the country in March for. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.440 Those, Yeah, how about little kids can't read? How about 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.320 you do that instead of making sure a guy who 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.240 rapes and murders an eleven year old gets to stay around. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.280 You live your life. I'll live mine. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.320 Just to suggest, Okay, we really need transition music, Michael, 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:13.119 we got my school. 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:19.600 So I blame myself. Oh yeah, that Ben right there? 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.359 Love it? Okay. 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:28.680 So I had some consumer information coming out. The uh 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.800 economy did not grow super fast one point eight percent 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:37.880 for the second quarter, but consumer spending, the economy's main engine, 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.880 rose at three point two percent in the second quarter, 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.480 picking up from point five percent in the first quarter. 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:48.440 Boyd By It says here tax cuts which increased people 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.320 spending on both goods and services. Oh okay, I don't know, 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.640 I don't know. I didn't get any tax money back 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:54.359 or anything. 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.320 So I don't know. People in your lower brackets got 0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:02.360 bigger refunds. I remember Trump trumpeting. Yeah, yeah, I suppose 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:07.800 that seems like a big jump to me. Yeah. I 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:08.159 don't know. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:09.600 I don't know how to read any of this stuff, 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:14.040 because especially if you start getting into well, gas is 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.840 twice what it was, so I have to buy a 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:21.280 certain amount of gas. And that's consumer spending and credit. 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.880 Card, mortgage and car loan default all at an all 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:28.840 time high. Right, Hey, consumer spending is up. I'm not 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:30.520 sure that's great news, all. 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:34.399 Right, and that that has a an end point to it. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:36.800 You can't just keep maxing out credit cards, says we 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.240 all know, So. 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.920 We'll see where that goes. Yeah, that's an interesting thing. 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:42.639 I was looking at the. 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:49.080 Quarter by quarter over the last going back to twenty twenty. 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.400 There's been a lot of pretty good quarters in there. 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:59.760
