1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Hetty.

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: All right, simple way to get to the bottom of

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: this whole drone thing, because that's.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: The most powerful man on earth.

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Oh, you weren't listening, all right, I didn't hear anything.

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: Okay, that's disappointing. Where is it, forty? I think it's

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: this one.

10
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of drones authorized up there.

11
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: We weren't started, and they all guys, everybody's wanting to

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: get in the deal.

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: First of all, he's standing next to a helicopter in

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: a lumber matter.

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Or something like that.

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: That's Joe Biden. He says, there's a lot of legal

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: drones up there and copycats.

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: That certainly helped the conversation about what they are and

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: whether we should be wording.

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 2: Apparently he wasn't briefed on anything.

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're hearing from the former president.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the control room is talking to me. What's that?

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: He's the current president. So there's a poll Lorses.

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: There's a poll out Emerson poll pulling people on is

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: it justifiable to murder healthcare CEOs in the street, And

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: you wouldn't think you'd get very many people that say

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: it's okay. But there's a big junk, especially young people

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: think it is okay. We'll get to that later too,

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: just shocking.

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: So if you are just tuning in, first of all,

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: welcome any joyous holiday season to you. Last year an

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: hour we were beginning to go over the House Oversight

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Committee's big COVID report, touching on it briefly and fairly swiftly,

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: but we as a people can't just let it go.

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: It is really quite well. I'll have a link. I'll

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: send the link to the folks and we'll have it

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: up at Armstrong and geddy dot com. But last hour

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: we went through the origin and the gain of function research,

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: the utter just spewing of tax dollars to foreign mobsters

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and all the fraud and such, the who's absolute cowtowing

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: to the Chinese communist line, how the social distancing and

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: mask mandates were utterly unsupportable and did no good. House

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Committee continues lockdowns. Pro long lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: not only the American economy but also to the mental

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: on younger citizens. Rather than prioritizing the protection of the

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: most vulnerable populations, federal and state governments forced millions of

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Americans to forego crucial elements of healthy and financially sound life.

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Greed get into some specifics in New York the travel

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: restrictions COVID nineteen. Misinformation. Public health officials often spread misinformation

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: through conflicting messaging, knee jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency.

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: And the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaigns off

54
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: label drug use and the Lablik theory were unjustly demonized

55
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: by the federal government. And there's a subcategory of how

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the federal government worked with private social media to censor

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: private citizens expressing their points of view, many of whom

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: ended up being one hundred percent correct. You know what.

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: It will be lost to history though, in terms of

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: analyzing all this is historians pointing out because Trump said

61
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: it had a lot to do with many of these things. Yes,

62
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: I mean for that, I'm against it. He's against that,

63
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: I'm for it. Played such a huge.

64
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Role to the point of utter bizarre, cruel absurdity. You're right,

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: it will be difficult to convince people. No. No, In Europe,

66
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: the schools were open, the private schools were open, and

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: everybody was fine. But they kept the government schools closed.

68
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Why because Trump said they should open. Well, no, they

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: had to have other evidence or you know science. No, no, no, no.

70
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: Trump had a near magical power to compel people to

71
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: do the opposite of what he said, just because he

72
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: said it, and they'll think the old man's oversimplifying. Okay.

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: They mentioned that the COVID nineteen vaccine was highly successful

74
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: and helped save millions of lives, but was rushed into

75
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: commission without properly appraising the risks. The mandates were not

76
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: supported by science, caused more harm than good. The Biden

77
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: administration coursed healthy Americans into compliance with the COVID nineteen

78
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and

79
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: disregarded medical freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions

80
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: of Americans without sufficient evidence to support their policy decisions.

81
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Then the utterly just again unforgivable ignoring of natural immunity.

82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just that.

83
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: Weird enthusiasm for the vaccine as opposed to an enthusiasm

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: for immunity, whether it was from the vaccine or natural

85
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: because you had already had COVID.

86
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: And they go into the fact that while the vaccine

87
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: lessened the seriousness of many cases and did save many lives,

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: it did not halt the spread at all, even though

89
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: we were told over and over again that it would.

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: And then once you got the JAB you could go

91
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: back to normal life. Let's see, they get into the

92
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and associated government response

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: on individuals, communities, small businesses, healthcare provider, states, and local

94
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: government entities, and as you might guess, the conclusion is

95
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: it was utterly unnecessary, so much of it, and terribly

96
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: terribly damaging. I'm reminded of Gavin Newsom, the utterly inept

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: governor of California, who made it clear that his only

98
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: priority is preventing the spread and preventing death.

99
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: And as we.

100
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Observed at the time, others did too. That's the opposite

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: of leadership. Leadership weighs the pluses and minuses, the competing interests,

102
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: the different needs that human beings have, and don't pretend

103
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: with a like a cultish ferocity that there's only one

104
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: thing to pay attention to, utterly inexcusable. Then they get

105
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: into the COVID nineteen school closures the science quote unquote,

106
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 1: and I like how they used the quotes. There never

107
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: justified prolonged school closures. Children will unlikely to contribute to

108
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the spread of COVID nineteen or suffer severe illness or mortality. Instead,

109
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: as a result of school closures, children experienced historical learning loss,

110
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well being.

111
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: And then they mentioned that the CDC actually ran their

112
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: guidances through the American Federation of Teachers to provide specific

113
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: language for the guidance and nice and the CDC the

114
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: Centers for Disease Control accepted numerous edits made by the

115
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Power Full Powerful Teachers Union, which couldn't give half a

116
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: crap about your kid.

117
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: That is true.

118
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: That is the long and short of the Committee on

119
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Oversight and Accountability Report on COVID nineteen response, and we

120
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: will post the link at Armstrong a getty dot com.

121
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: The executive summary is a ten twelve minute read and

122
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: really really informative.

123
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: What a dark chapter. Thank you, Cardi B. Quick couple

124
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: of Cardi b quit. Not as much a doctor as

125
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: doctor Jill Biden. Quick couple of things before we go

126
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: to break. I don't know if you're following this. I'm

127
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: not unbelievable internal pressure on Justin Trudeau to resign as

128
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: Prime Minister of Canada right now. Some of his closest

129
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: aids who have been with him his entire political career

130
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: have quit, and his approval rating is like four percent

131
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: and he's done.

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: We underappreciate how woke Justin Trudeau is in America. I

133
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: happen to know a handful of Canadians that you can't

134
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: shut him up because they hate him so much. But yeah,

135
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: they went way down the woke road in Canada and

136
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: he's been a miserable failure.

137
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: NATO member.

138
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: A couple of NATO members said yesterday no one in

139
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: Europe believes that peace can be achieved between Ukraine and

140
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: Russia without territorial losses for Ukraine. That's the first time

141
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: NATO leaders have officially said that out loud, that the

142
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: only way this is going to end is Ukraine given

143
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: up land. So save that one one more here? Oh,

144
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: did you see Prince Andrew like his closest aid who

145
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: was Chinese turned out to be a Chinese spy like

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 3: all the real serious, big time Chinese spy.

147
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: Eh.

148
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: Well, another blow for Prince Andrew this one.

149
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: How much I want to spend on this? This is

150
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: out of the school shooting the other day. How much

151
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 3: more freak what murder is in the United States than

152
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: other large, high income countries. If you're going to compare,

153
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, similar lifestyles homicides per one hundred thousand, you

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: just look at the graph where.

155
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, there's you could add up.

156
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: Looks like you could add up Canada, Britain, France, Germany,

157
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 3: Italy and Japan and not even come close to.

158
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: Where we are.

159
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're a very murdery country.

160
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: Why is that? Do you think?

161
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: There are handful of reasons? I mean, give me, give

162
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: me too a length answer. Second Amendment. Guns are much

163
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: more readily available than in other places.

164
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: And because guns, it's easy to kill people with guns.

165
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh, it's incredibly effective.

166
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

167
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to work to kill somebody with you know,

168
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: other means of effective killing machine.

169
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

170
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: And I'm starchly pro First Amendment for what it's worth.

171
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: The other thing is, we have a the vast majority

172
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: of murders take place among subcultures America in which it's

173
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: considered appropriate to use deadly force over minor disputes, including

174
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: quote unquote turf in neighborhoods.

175
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have a break a complete breakdown of

176
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: the American family in certain segments of society, and then

177
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: the whole gang thing, why don't they have that though.

178
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: In France, Great Britain, all these other places gan it

179
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: is it just the guns?

180
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it's it's pretty complicated, but it's worth pointing

181
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: out that in say, Plaster County, California, where I raised

182
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: my kids, it's bristling with conservative redneck fools like myself

183
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: who have lots and lots of guns and have fun

184
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: shooting them. And then the rest of that, and we

185
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: would all consider an absolutely unthinkable, abhorrent, just unspeakable to

186
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: use deadly violence to settle a minor dispute. It would

187
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: just never ever happen. So it's it's cultural. Nobody likes

188
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: to talk about that because it's uncomfortable because race factors

189
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: into it indirectly. But that's one of the big reasons.

190
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: Fact that we murder each other so much more than

191
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: other countries should be talked about more like in a

192
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: not quickly become worried somebody's gonna take your guns away,

193
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: or quickly be worried on the other side, and something else,

194
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: because it's just a fact we have way more murders

195
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: than other countries with similar lifestyles.

196
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: What the heck?

197
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Well, And there's so many layers of hypocrisy and weirdness

198
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: here because in a lot of European countries you're not

199
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: allowed to have personal use of firearms or I don't

200
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: know the laws country by country, but really hard to

201
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: get a gun, really hard to own a gun, and

202
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: if you get caught with a gun, you're in serious,

203
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: serious trouble. I mean, like say goodbye to your family

204
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: for a long time trouble In the United States, where

205
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: we have one side of the political spectrum constantly saying

206
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have guns, we shouldn't have the Second Amendment,

207
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. They refuse to enforce gun laws because

208
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: of their woke politics. So what the hell is going on?

209
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: Right?

210
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: What are you to make of it?

211
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: Right?

212
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: Speakon of murders, The CEO of United Healthcare is murdered

213
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: in the street in New York, and a lot of

214
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: people think that was good. According to a new pole.

215
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: We'll get to that, among other things.

216
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: On the way.

217
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Armstrong heyety.

218
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 6: Of Americans said they support Robert F. Kennedy Junior's proposal

219
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 6: to ban certain food additives, including food dies. So get

220
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 6: psyched kids for the newest flavor of jolly ranchers.

221
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: Plain the flavor will still be the same, but the color. Yeah,

222
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: like Jolly ranchers. And what are the little crackers my

223
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: kids eat? Eight is when they were little goldfish gold

224
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: They're going to be like gray brown.

225
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: No, they're not. Stop. It's Canada outlaws, all these horrendous

226
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: food dies, and they're the food are plenty colorful, They're

227
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: just not quite as lurid.

228
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: You're an expert on how colorful Canadian food is.

229
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I have to have seen a photo feature on the topic.

230
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: Okay, we have unimportant breaking news.

231
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: The Ethics Committee has voted to release the Matt Gates Report.

232
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: No, no, I hope he's not a chasing scumback.

233
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking it over underage goats. Oh lord, No, the

234
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: details are not out yet. And but that don't matter anymore,

235
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 3: right because he's no longer up for anything, and he's

236
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: gonna go, He's gonna go be a host of a

237
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: TV show somewhere.

238
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: So remember, underage goats can't give consent, Jack, So that's

239
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: that I kids be kids.

240
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: Here's something I've been meaning to talk about, and I

241
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: haven't heard anybody else bring it up, so it's possible

242
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: it's unique to me, but I doubt it.

243
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: You know, everybody agrees.

244
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: I think that, like our attention spans have changed from

245
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: star at smartphones, heck ya, And it's it's amazing that

246
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: my brain was a certain way until I was forty seven,

247
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: and then smartphones came along, and now reading a book

248
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: is very, very difficult.

249
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: I fully believe.

250
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: That having a self driving car, which most people do

251
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 3: not yet that I use regularly. I let you use

252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: it on the way to work today, I'll use it

253
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: on the way home, trained your brain to not pay

254
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: attention anymore. Oh, because my whole life driving a car,

255
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: obviously you're paying attention.

256
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: I mean, jeez, you could die if you're not paying attention.

257
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: But even in the three years I've had a self

258
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: driving car, using it practically daily, my brain's gotten used

259
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: to driving. Doesn't mean you got to pay attention. And

260
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: when I get into my truck that doesn't have self driving.

261
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: I really regularly forget that I'm in charge of this thing,

262
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: and I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck.

263
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck. I

264
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: just my brain is used to just like I used

265
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: to be able to read and pay attention, you know,

266
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: now it's like do this instead. My brain driving means

267
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: do something else, think about do you look around, read texts, whatever.

268
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck.

269
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: I have not had that experience at all. But intuitively

270
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes when you get

271
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: in your car, you don't have to pay attention at all.

272
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to, but and sometimes you have

273
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: to every single second. And you know I live in

274
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: the world where there's no exception to the every single

275
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: second thing. Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me.

276
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: Yes, you are supposed to pay attention.

277
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: There's no way they're going to be able to mandate

278
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: people paying attention in the same way though, if you've

279
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: got a self driving car, it's.

280
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Just not possible.

281
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I find it nearly effortless to keep the car between

282
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the painted lines. So why am I using a self

283
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: driving car, if I have to pay attention as acutely

284
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: as I do the rest.

285
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Right at that point, I've wondered that from the very thing,

286
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: you're not tired from steering. I've wondered that from the

287
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: very beginning. I don't mind driving now, So why would

288
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: I go self driving If I'm going to pay the

289
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: same amount of attention with my hands, I'm steering well

290
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: in the same spot. So it just defies human nature.

291
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: But anyway, that frightens that hell out of me that

292
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: I've trained my brain to not see driving as like

293
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: a life and death situation for me and everybody else

294
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: on the road.

295
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: I'll bet between a year and two from now a

296
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: big study comes out that confirms exactly what you just said.

297
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it, and I haven't heard anybody

298
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: talking about that either. I get you visionary.

299
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's happening for other people, but

300
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: I know for a fact, does this happened to me

301
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: that I have to remind myself, Oh, that's right, I'm

302
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: in my truck.

303
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't drive itself. Geez, that's scary.

304
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

305
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: There's really no need for self driving car other than

306
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: when you're in bad big city traffic.

307
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: It is the greatest. It is the greatest, and bad

308
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: traffic just fantastic.

309
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: You're just you're sitting on your couch with whoever else

310
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: is in the car, you know, talk and listening to

311
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: music as it takes you along in the miserable traffic.

312
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Wow. Cool. So coming up this hour and perhaps next hour,

313
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: the year in review, a lot of the big news

314
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: stories that everybody paid attention to. It's both kind of

315
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: informed of and amusing to hear that list go by.

316
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: Also the leading series on what's going on with the

317
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: drones rated for which is the most likely?

318
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: And that pole on gunning down CEOs in the street,

319
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: which is disturbing.

320
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: Yeiit Armstrong and Getty.

321
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: That's people shouting, free, chanting, free Luigi outside of his jail.

322
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: He's the murderous scumbag who killed this CEO from United Healthcare.

323
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: And they also have signs that more CEOs need to die.

324
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: Well.

325
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: So there's a poll out today from Emerson College that's

326
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: a real polling outfit. Forty one percent of young people

327
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: that would be under thirty eighteen to twenty nine year olds,

328
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: forty one percent of young people say it's at least

329
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 3: somewhat acceptable to murder CEOs in the street. You have

330
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: twenty four percent that's say it's somewhat seventeen percent say

331
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: it's completely acceptable.

332
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: So that's a little troubling.

333
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so, but not shocking given the

334
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: indoctrination that they've been under in their their schools and

335
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: high schools and colleges for the last several couple generations.

336
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 3: Twice as many Democrats as Republicans. By the way, probably

337
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: fits in with your whole college theory since probably more

338
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: went to But anyway, so the pro murder party, maybe

339
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: the drones will fix all this.

340
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: That's what we're hoping.

341
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: Somehow, the drone invasion will our drone overlords. Here's something

342
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 3: that amazes me that we're now, I don't know how

343
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: many weeks into this as actually listened to a podcast yesterday.

344
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: A New Jersey native said, Hey, we've been talking about

345
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: this in New Jersey for a lot longer than the

346
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: rest of you have. So in New Jersey they've been

347
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: talking about it for like a month. The country's been

348
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: talking about it for like two weeks. All the drones

349
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: being spotted over New Jersey. Here's the sitting US Senator

350
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: one of them from New Jersey Senator Kristen Gillibrand.

351
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's safe or not safe because

352
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: we don't have full domain awareness.

353
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: We don't know whose the drones are. We don't know

354
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: whether they're adversarial or run by a foreign entity. We

355
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: don't know what their purpose is. We don't know if

356
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: they're spying.

357
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: So as of today, a US senator from the state

358
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: in question doesn't know if they're foreign, domestic, or a threat.

359
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: Despite all the things that we're hearing from various people,

360
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: I find that amazing.

361
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was being critical of the idea of sharing

362
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: sensitive intelligence with senators because some of them are lunkheads earlier.

363
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: But the fact that she couldn't rule out any of

364
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: those things, I mean, you'd think the military could have said, hey, superclassified,

365
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: what's happening. I'll tell you what's not happening is Chinese

366
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: spies don't worry about that. They couldn't check any of

367
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: those bombs, right. It seems very strange, right what.

368
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: Is going on with the communication? I have no idea.

369
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: I don't even know what my working theory is right now.

370
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: I don't either, And the amount of uh nutty stuff

371
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: going on online. I refuse to use the term's misinformation

372
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: and it's cruel cousin disinformation. I just I don't know why.

373
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: Probably because it's like using the term fact check. Yeah,

374
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: it's become so tainted with the dishonesty of the people

375
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: who use those terms.

376
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: I just it makes me feel oogy to go there,

377
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: dishonesty or mishonesty. Right, beautiful.

378
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see. I want to hear. I need to

379
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: hear one more thing, how about Yeah, this good example

380
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: is Mayor Mike Mellam of some little town in New

381
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Jersey forty two. Please, Michael, there was and there is

382
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: an alert that's out right now that radioactive material in

383
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: New Jersey has gone missing.

384
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: See that's crazy that a month into this.

385
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: People are saying, yeah, there's nuclear material missing, don't know

386
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: anything about that, or senator says, I don't know if

387
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: they're f or domestic, or if there're a threat.

388
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: That's just not possible that this can be happening.

389
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's certainly not acceptable. Yeah. So and then somebody

390
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: in authority came out and said no, no, no, no,

391
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: there's no radioactive material missing from some medical lab. That's

392
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: just not true.

393
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: Well, let me say what I'm not worried that. I'm

394
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: not worried that it's Ran or China. I don't think

395
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: it is. I agree with Trump. I think the Pentagon

396
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: would know and do something about it. Of course, you

397
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: would have thought they'd have done something about the spy

398
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: balloon from China that went clear across the country, and

399
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: they didn't do anything about it until some farmers said, hey,

400
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: what the hell has had and it made the news.

401
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: But I'm mostly.

402
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: Worried about bureacratic breakdown and that sort of stuff in

403
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 3: our government and what that means for the future than

404
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: the drones themselves.

405
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: Well, let me lead ahead a little bit in response

406
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: to the whole medical waste or not and what you're saying.

407
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: It's a note from mikey Luke. Mail bag at Armstrong

408
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: E Geddy dot com is the email address if you

409
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: ever want to get in touch, gentleman, and I have

410
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: an easy answer to all the government related mysteries quote

411
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: unquote works with any government related kerfuffle. It's almost like

412
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: a Rosetta Stone thing question. Mysterious drones flying over New

413
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: Jersey Hunter Biden laptop COVID released from the lab in Wuhan,

414
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: the assassination of JFK, the Russia hoax. Joe Biden is

415
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: mentally fit and capable of winning the presidency. Answer to

416
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: all of them, The government is to blame. They are

417
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: covering it up, and they lied to you. It's not complicated.

418
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: I wonder.

419
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: So the lie to me for my own good, that's

420
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: my concern.

421
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: That's my concern that when the s hits the fan

422
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: and China does attack or something like that, that will

423
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 3: get the I don't think they can handle this treatment

424
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: that Fauci did with a lot of information, and I

425
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: don't like that.

426
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: I hate that a lot. The whole team. And if

427
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: you didn't hear our going over of the House Oversight

428
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: Committee report on the COVID thing, grab the podcast it

429
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: was ours one and two, Armstrong and giddy on demand anyway.

430
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: Having said that, yes, I agree completely the condescension from

431
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: particularly the left, but a lot of the people in

432
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: power is just you can't take it. So Madeline Kerns,

433
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: who now writes for the Free Press and is Scottish

434
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: and super smart and so cute with the leading theories

435
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: on the drone thing, and it's long issue and she

436
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: doesn't come in any firm conclusions, obviously, but the leading

437
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: theories are the sightings are part of a mass hysteria,

438
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: and as Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine, told The

439
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: Free Press, these things happen as kind of a self

440
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: generating social phenomenon where most people don't look up into

441
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the sky. They don't really think much about it untill

442
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: they hear stories, start looking up and they start noticing things.

443
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: And now we all have cell phones. The vast majority

444
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: of these are obviously airplanes. You can see them when

445
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: you blow them up. Big wings, small wings, blinking lights. Okay,

446
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: here's my answer to that. I think what's going on

447
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: with the drones is several things. And at the tail

448
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: end of this, yes, it's that. It's exactly what Shechrmer

449
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: was describing at the beginning of it, though, with drones

450
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: flying in what appeared to be an organized way near

451
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: our military installations, that absolutely could be Chinese nationals in

452
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: the United States doing the bidding of their Communist overlords.

453
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: There's a guy busted surveilling Vanderburgh Space Base with drones

454
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: busted on a flight back to is Communist fathers. Recently,

455
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: they're doing it now on the West coast, but it's

456
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: unthinkable they do it on the East coast. What are

457
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: we even talking about here? It's happening.

458
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: Well, it almost has to be something like that, because

459
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: the fact that the DHS Secretary of Mayorcis or the

460
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: President or whoever hasn't come out and said it's all planes.

461
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: We haven't come across one thing that we can confirm

462
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 3: as a drone we don't know about.

463
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: Nobody has said.

464
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: That, right, And actually Matty Kerns does point out that

465
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: the lack of information and the weird, vague stuff is

466
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: just creating a vacuum into which nutty stuff flows. How

467
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: perfect is this. There's an assembly woman in New York

468
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: or New Jersey rather named Dawn Fantasia. Is she dancing

469
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: tonight at the Bata Bang?

470
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: Oh We're only fans page.

471
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: Last Thursday, Fantasia told the Free Press that the foreign

472
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: adversary theory was plausible, but like other lawmakers, she since

473
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: shifted toward another explanation. Most people do believe these drones

474
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: do belong to the US military. However, beyond that point

475
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: is very difficult. She says. You literally need a magic

476
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: eight ball to shake it to figure out what the

477
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: actual purposes. They quote a state senator, I believe some

478
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: of them are drones controlled by the United States government

479
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah. But nobody's talking, so

480
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: nobody's sure the sightings are drones belonging to a foreign adversary.

481
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: And she gets into maybe maybe not very quotes, but

482
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: it varies across time. Again, which ones you're talking about,

483
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: which sightings you're talking about, and what bothers me is

484
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: everybody is picturing not what I was discussing about Vandenburg

485
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: Air Force Base. But they're discussing like the Iranian mothership thing,

486
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: or that the Chinese navies leveled up a sub and

487
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: then are for surfaced to sub and then sent drones

488
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: forth into the sky.

489
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 3: Well, that crazy house rep actually said with certainty, I

490
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: have talked to people at very high levels it is

491
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: an Iranian mothership. I mean like he was a fact

492
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 3: he knew. Yeah, that didn't help anything.

493
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: But again, it's so much more likely that A it's

494
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: the Chinese and B they're using some of the tens

495
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals who live in the

496
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: United States, many of whom are official or unofficial intelligence

497
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: can you.

498
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: Justify the government keeping it a secret from us. The

499
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: two China have drones in the sky.

500
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Only if they it's like the great lengths we went

501
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: to most recently when we had human intel out of

502
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: the Kremlin, and we are extremely careful to couch everything

503
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: in ways that would not make that clear. They're legendary

504
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: examples from World War Two. Yeah, so it's possible we

505
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: have a capability or an intelligence source or something that

506
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how that would factor into the complete

507
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: lack of information now vague everybody is, but it.

508
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 3: Could because you've made the argument, and other people have

509
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: two about the Pentagon, DARPA whoever has different stuff that

510
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: we don't know about, and they tested all the time

511
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: and they can't tell us about it. But there's got

512
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: to be a limit to that, right What if you

513
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 3: had giant robot monsters that are forty feet tall walking

514
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: across the country.

515
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 2: You couldn't just they couldn't just.

516
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: Can they kill you with laser beams they shoot out

517
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: of their eyes.

518
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: I don't know where things are because that would reveal

519
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: we have that program.

520
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, there's got to be a limit on that,

521
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: right on terraff.

522
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: Giant Frankenstinian robot terrors roaming the landscape eating school children. Yes,

523
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: that would be too much. No, you're right, And even

524
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: with drones and the sort of thing I've suggested as possible,

525
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: to do it over a population center is a hell

526
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: of a thing. And I again, we have it from

527
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: a very very good source, better than the New Jersey

528
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: congressman with the mothership. Have it from a very good

529
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: source that if there is something like that happening, the

530
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: Pentagon or the CIA, whomever, we'll get in touch with

531
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: local law enforcement and say, hey, guys, we can't go

532
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: into the details, but if you get calls about mysterious

533
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: aircraft in the area Thursday night, it's us. Don't freak out.

534
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: We're happy to be of help. For obvious reasons. You

535
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: don't want information, vacuums, bizarro stories, and I don't see

536
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: anybody panicking, but there's a fair amount of concern.

537
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: We remember that clip from the governor of the current

538
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: governor of New Jersey the other day saying this is

539
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: our highest priority. Yeah, this is our highest priority as

540
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: the governor of a state to figure out what these are.

541
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: How's he doing on that? I haven't earn anything.

542
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: But how does the federal government not somehow give a

543
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 3: Lincoln a nod to the governor of the state and

544
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: say trust us, it's okay. So he's not going around

545
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: saying that.

546
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: You know, Let's listen to a reporter talking to a

547
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: major general who did a Tuesday briefing Major General Rider.

548
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: He said, they're unequivocally not the Department of Defense as

549
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: far as he knows. Throws that in at the end.

550
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: How about what about the drones flying over the military

551
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: basis thirty five? Michael, what about the.

552
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: Ones that are flying over military bases? At this point,

553
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 5: have there been any possibilities of collecting what sort of

554
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 5: information these drones are doing or anything of that.

555
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, just to kind of put this into context,

556
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 4: and I know that our colleagues at the White House, FAA, DHS,

557
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: FBI have all.

558
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: Made this point.

559
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: So we're a million drones registered in the United States,

560
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: and on any given day, approximately eighty five hundred drones

561
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: are in flight. And so the vast majority of these

562
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: drones are going to probably be recreational or hobbyist. They're

563
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: going to be commercial drones, you know, used in things

564
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: like architecture, engineering, farming, or they could be used for

565
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 4: law enforcement. Is it possible that some of those drones

566
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: could be up to malign activity? It's entirely possible, but

567
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: the vast majority that is not the case.

568
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: All Right, My talents are very modest. I played guitar

569
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: like I have hooves, sing like an angry mule, gay

570
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: dances athlow. Please, I can't begin to dance my athletics.

571
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Tartam is thirty five years in the rearview mirror. On

572
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the other hand, I am a world class bser, and

573
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: you should never bs a bs er. That was a

574
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: non answer. What about the drones near the military basis? Well,

575
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: that's the first of all. I'm going to list six

576
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: federal agencies. Next, I'm going to throw out a bunch

577
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: of statistics about drones in the United States. There are

578
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: over one million registered drones in the United States of

579
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: America at any given moment, eighty five hundred of them

580
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: are why.

581
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: That's fascinating.

582
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: I've forgotten completely about the question. I just asked, you,

583
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: come on, answer that question.

584
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: That something weird is going on. I just don't know

585
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: which brand of weird it is.

586
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: But he got to the end and said, is it

587
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: possible some of them are up to my line purposes? Yes,

588
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: how about the ones I just asked you about there?

589
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: Right?

590
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: Stars and bars, you know, metals and hats and they

591
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: can weard fast.

592
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: Do you know? Text line four one five two nine

593
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: five KFTC.

594
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: Some more business news, Walmart announced that some of their

595
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 6: employees are.

596
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: Now wearing body cameras. That's the fun way to remind.

597
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: Customers, Hey, a lot of crazy shiz goes.

598
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: On down here.

599
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 4: Of course, the Walmart greeters are so oh the cameras

600
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: will be shooting up their nose all the time.

601
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: How do I how do I?

602
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 6: How do I turn it back on the baby?

603
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't worry about that, though, the fact that Walmart

604
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: has existed for how many decades without locking up all

605
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: the products, and then now has to lock them up

606
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: and didn't have cameras on their greeters and now has

607
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: to have cameras, I wouldn't worry that civilization is falling

608
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: up arder aning just normal course of events speaking normal

609
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: courses events. Oh, first, this a couple of NBA notes,

610
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: one cultural one about the game. The NBA All Star

611
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: Game is ridiculous and has been for a very long time,

612
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: and they've been trying to come up with a way

613
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: to make it not ridiculous. Here's their new idea for

614
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. The NBA All Star Game will now

615
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: be a four team, three game tournament, the league announces,

616
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: with different All Stars playing each other.

617
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: To Trice, he was the best team.

618
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: So we'll see so quadruple as many games where they

619
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: don't try.

620
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

621
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: Friend of the Armstrong Engetty Show, who was at Works

622
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: in Sports, sent me a video and this text last

623
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 3: night working the NBA Cup in Vegas. Here's a snapshot

624
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: of young American culture. Only one player showing respect during

625
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,040
