WEBVTT - That Makes Me Feel Oogy 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.879 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.239 Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Hetty. 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.040 All right, simple way to get to the bottom of 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.360 this whole drone thing, because that's. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:26.680 The most powerful man on earth. 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.479 Oh, you weren't listening, all right, I didn't hear anything. 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:42.320 Okay, that's disappointing. Where is it, forty? I think it's 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:42.840 this one. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.960 There's a lot of drones authorized up there. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.400 We weren't started, and they all guys, everybody's wanting to 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.040 get in the deal. 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.720 First of all, he's standing next to a helicopter in 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:54.560 a lumber matter. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.320 Or something like that. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.840 That's Joe Biden. He says, there's a lot of legal 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.200 drones up there and copycats. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:02.800 Okay. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.600 That certainly helped the conversation about what they are and 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:08.520 whether we should be wording. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.839 Apparently he wasn't briefed on anything. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.000 I don't know why we're hearing from the former president. 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.520 I'm sorry, the control room is talking to me. What's that? 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.319 He's the current president. So there's a poll Lorses. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.400 There's a poll out Emerson poll pulling people on is 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.600 it justifiable to murder healthcare CEOs in the street, And 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.520 you wouldn't think you'd get very many people that say 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.720 it's okay. But there's a big junk, especially young people 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.600 think it is okay. We'll get to that later too, 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.080 just shocking. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.520 So if you are just tuning in, first of all, 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.880 welcome any joyous holiday season to you. Last year an 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.039 hour we were beginning to go over the House Oversight 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:52.280 Committee's big COVID report, touching on it briefly and fairly swiftly, 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.960 but we as a people can't just let it go. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.280 It is really quite well. I'll have a link. I'll 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.760 send the link to the folks and we'll have it 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.920 up at Armstrong and geddy dot com. But last hour 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.520 we went through the origin and the gain of function research, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:17.360 the utter just spewing of tax dollars to foreign mobsters 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:22.600 and all the fraud and such, the who's absolute cowtowing 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.720 to the Chinese communist line, how the social distancing and 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:31.040 mask mandates were utterly unsupportable and did no good. House 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.960 Committee continues lockdowns. Pro long lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.280 not only the American economy but also to the mental 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.360 and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.760 on younger citizens. Rather than prioritizing the protection of the 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.760 most vulnerable populations, federal and state governments forced millions of 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.200 Americans to forego crucial elements of healthy and financially sound life. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.640 Greed get into some specifics in New York the travel 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:03.240 restrictions COVID nineteen. Misinformation. Public health officials often spread misinformation 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.000 through conflicting messaging, knee jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.960 And the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaigns off 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.280 label drug use and the Lablik theory were unjustly demonized 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:19.000 by the federal government. And there's a subcategory of how 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.720 the federal government worked with private social media to censor 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.480 private citizens expressing their points of view, many of whom 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.200 ended up being one hundred percent correct. You know what. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.160 It will be lost to history though, in terms of 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:37.640 analyzing all this is historians pointing out because Trump said 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:42.640 it had a lot to do with many of these things. Yes, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.120 I mean for that, I'm against it. He's against that, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.400 I'm for it. Played such a huge. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:54.640 Role to the point of utter bizarre, cruel absurdity. You're right, 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:59.440 it will be difficult to convince people. No. No, In Europe, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.280 the schools were open, the private schools were open, and 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.120 everybody was fine. But they kept the government schools closed. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.040 Why because Trump said they should open. Well, no, they 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.680 had to have other evidence or you know science. No, no, no, no. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.240 Trump had a near magical power to compel people to 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.800 do the opposite of what he said, just because he 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.080 said it, and they'll think the old man's oversimplifying. Okay. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.160 They mentioned that the COVID nineteen vaccine was highly successful 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.320 and helped save millions of lives, but was rushed into 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:35.120 commission without properly appraising the risks. The mandates were not 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.880 supported by science, caused more harm than good. The Biden 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.119 administration coursed healthy Americans into compliance with the COVID nineteen 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.159 vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.480 disregarded medical freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.080 of Americans without sufficient evidence to support their policy decisions. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:59.320 Then the utterly just again unforgivable ignoring of natural immunity. 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.600 Yeah, that was just that. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.960 Weird enthusiasm for the vaccine as opposed to an enthusiasm 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.880 for immunity, whether it was from the vaccine or natural 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.320 because you had already had COVID. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.960 And they go into the fact that while the vaccine 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.279 lessened the seriousness of many cases and did save many lives, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.960 it did not halt the spread at all, even though 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.159 we were told over and over again that it would. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.120 And then once you got the JAB you could go 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.599 back to normal life. Let's see, they get into the 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:33.000 economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and associated government response 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.159 on individuals, communities, small businesses, healthcare provider, states, and local 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.320 government entities, and as you might guess, the conclusion is 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.200 it was utterly unnecessary, so much of it, and terribly 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:51.880 terribly damaging. I'm reminded of Gavin Newsom, the utterly inept 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.039 governor of California, who made it clear that his only 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.960 priority is preventing the spread and preventing death. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:05:59.080 And as we. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.880 Observed at the time, others did too. That's the opposite 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:08.440 of leadership. Leadership weighs the pluses and minuses, the competing interests, 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.080 the different needs that human beings have, and don't pretend 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.719 with a like a cultish ferocity that there's only one 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.040 thing to pay attention to, utterly inexcusable. Then they get 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.520 into the COVID nineteen school closures the science quote unquote, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.559 and I like how they used the quotes. There never 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.800 justified prolonged school closures. Children will unlikely to contribute to 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.520 the spread of COVID nineteen or suffer severe illness or mortality. Instead, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.920 as a result of school closures, children experienced historical learning loss, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.359 higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well being. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.360 And then they mentioned that the CDC actually ran their 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:50.320 guidances through the American Federation of Teachers to provide specific 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.800 language for the guidance and nice and the CDC the 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:59.599 Centers for Disease Control accepted numerous edits made by the 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.200 Power Full Powerful Teachers Union, which couldn't give half a 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:04.640 crap about your kid. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:06.560 That is true. 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.400 That is the long and short of the Committee on 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:17.000 Oversight and Accountability Report on COVID nineteen response, and we 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.680 will post the link at Armstrong a getty dot com. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.680 The executive summary is a ten twelve minute read and 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:25.960 really really informative. 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:33.640 What a dark chapter. Thank you, Cardi B. Quick couple 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.680 of Cardi b quit. Not as much a doctor as 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.400 doctor Jill Biden. Quick couple of things before we go 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.840 to break. I don't know if you're following this. I'm 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.640 not unbelievable internal pressure on Justin Trudeau to resign as 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.840 Prime Minister of Canada right now. Some of his closest 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.280 aids who have been with him his entire political career 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.760 have quit, and his approval rating is like four percent 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.080 and he's done. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:01.120 We underappreciate how woke Justin Trudeau is in America. I 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.960 happen to know a handful of Canadians that you can't 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:04.920 shut him up because they hate him so much. But yeah, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.720 they went way down the woke road in Canada and 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.040 he's been a miserable failure. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:10.520 NATO member. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.520 A couple of NATO members said yesterday no one in 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.320 Europe believes that peace can be achieved between Ukraine and 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.760 Russia without territorial losses for Ukraine. That's the first time 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.480 NATO leaders have officially said that out loud, that the 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.320 only way this is going to end is Ukraine given 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:31.480 up land. So save that one one more here? Oh, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.240 did you see Prince Andrew like his closest aid who 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.760 was Chinese turned out to be a Chinese spy like 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.959 all the real serious, big time Chinese spy. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:43.440 Eh. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.520 Well, another blow for Prince Andrew this one. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.360 How much I want to spend on this? This is 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:58.920 out of the school shooting the other day. How much 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.079 more freak what murder is in the United States than 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.280 other large, high income countries. If you're going to compare, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.160 you know, similar lifestyles homicides per one hundred thousand, you 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.160 just look at the graph where. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:20.120 It's like, I mean, there's you could add up. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.960 Looks like you could add up Canada, Britain, France, Germany, 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.079 Italy and Japan and not even come close to. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:26.640 Where we are. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.080 Yeah, we're a very murdery country. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.120 Why is that? Do you think? 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.000 There are handful of reasons? I mean, give me, give 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.680 me too a length answer. Second Amendment. Guns are much 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.640 more readily available than in other places. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.400 And because guns, it's easy to kill people with guns. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.400 Oh, it's incredibly effective. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:44.960 Yeah. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.400 Yeah, you got to work to kill somebody with you know, 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.679 other means of effective killing machine. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:50.960 Yeah. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.520 And I'm starchly pro First Amendment for what it's worth. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.640 The other thing is, we have a the vast majority 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.400 of murders take place among subcultures America in which it's 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.760 considered appropriate to use deadly force over minor disputes, including 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.840 quote unquote turf in neighborhoods. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.160 Yeah, if you have a break a complete breakdown of 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.360 the American family in certain segments of society, and then 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.680 the whole gang thing, why don't they have that though. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.760 In France, Great Britain, all these other places gan it 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:22.680 is it just the guns? 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.800 Yeah, again, it's it's pretty complicated, but it's worth pointing 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.760 out that in say, Plaster County, California, where I raised 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.760 my kids, it's bristling with conservative redneck fools like myself 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.720 who have lots and lots of guns and have fun 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.560 shooting them. And then the rest of that, and we 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:44.640 would all consider an absolutely unthinkable, abhorrent, just unspeakable to 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.080 use deadly violence to settle a minor dispute. It would 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.600 just never ever happen. So it's it's cultural. Nobody likes 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.160 to talk about that because it's uncomfortable because race factors 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.680 into it indirectly. But that's one of the big reasons. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.400 Fact that we murder each other so much more than 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:04.440 other countries should be talked about more like in a 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:10.959 not quickly become worried somebody's gonna take your guns away, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.959 or quickly be worried on the other side, and something else, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.920 because it's just a fact we have way more murders 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.040 than other countries with similar lifestyles. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:20.960 What the heck? 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.040 Well, And there's so many layers of hypocrisy and weirdness 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.240 here because in a lot of European countries you're not 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.840 allowed to have personal use of firearms or I don't 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.599 know the laws country by country, but really hard to 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.360 get a gun, really hard to own a gun, and 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.600 if you get caught with a gun, you're in serious, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.240 serious trouble. I mean, like say goodbye to your family 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.360 for a long time trouble In the United States, where 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.640 we have one side of the political spectrum constantly saying 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.840 we shouldn't have guns, we shouldn't have the Second Amendment, 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.439 blah blah blah. They refuse to enforce gun laws because 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.640 of their woke politics. So what the hell is going on? 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:57.040 Right? 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.240 What are you to make of it? 0:11:58.640 --> 0:11:58.880 Right? 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.600 Speakon of murders, The CEO of United Healthcare is murdered 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.679 in the street in New York, and a lot of 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.560 people think that was good. According to a new pole. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.880 We'll get to that, among other things. 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:09.480 On the way. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.520 Armstrong heyety. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.880 Of Americans said they support Robert F. Kennedy Junior's proposal 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.800 to ban certain food additives, including food dies. So get 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.840 psyched kids for the newest flavor of jolly ranchers. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:30.959 Plain the flavor will still be the same, but the color. Yeah, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.120 like Jolly ranchers. And what are the little crackers my 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.240 kids eat? Eight is when they were little goldfish gold 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.320 They're going to be like gray brown. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.880 No, they're not. Stop. It's Canada outlaws, all these horrendous 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.480 food dies, and they're the food are plenty colorful, They're 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:49.920 just not quite as lurid. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.680 You're an expert on how colorful Canadian food is. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.680 I have to have seen a photo feature on the topic. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.000 Okay, we have unimportant breaking news. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.560 The Ethics Committee has voted to release the Matt Gates Report. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.680 No, no, I hope he's not a chasing scumback. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:13.160 I'm looking it over underage goats. Oh lord, No, the 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.560 details are not out yet. And but that don't matter anymore, 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.439 right because he's no longer up for anything, and he's 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:18.920 gonna go, He's gonna go be a host of a 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.800 TV show somewhere. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:26.560 So remember, underage goats can't give consent, Jack, So that's 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.560 that I kids be kids. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.840 Here's something I've been meaning to talk about, and I 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.320 haven't heard anybody else bring it up, so it's possible 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:38.640 it's unique to me, but I doubt it. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.320 You know, everybody agrees. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.360 I think that, like our attention spans have changed from 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.400 star at smartphones, heck ya, And it's it's amazing that 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.200 my brain was a certain way until I was forty seven, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.320 and then smartphones came along, and now reading a book 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.280 is very, very difficult. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.840 I fully believe. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.520 That having a self driving car, which most people do 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.080 not yet that I use regularly. I let you use 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:11.240 it on the way to work today, I'll use it 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.520 on the way home, trained your brain to not pay 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:19.320 attention anymore. Oh, because my whole life driving a car, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:20.760 obviously you're paying attention. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.880 I mean, jeez, you could die if you're not paying attention. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.320 But even in the three years I've had a self 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.160 driving car, using it practically daily, my brain's gotten used 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.360 to driving. Doesn't mean you got to pay attention. And 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.360 when I get into my truck that doesn't have self driving. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.320 I really regularly forget that I'm in charge of this thing, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.920 and I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.480 I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck. I 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.320 just my brain is used to just like I used 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.720 to be able to read and pay attention, you know, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.720 now it's like do this instead. My brain driving means 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:00.000 do something else, think about do you look around, read texts, whatever. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.000 And I think that's why I had my motorcycle wreck. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.400 I have not had that experience at all. But intuitively 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.560 that makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes when you get 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.880 in your car, you don't have to pay attention at all. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.040 I know you're supposed to, but and sometimes you have 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.920 to every single second. And you know I live in 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.520 the world where there's no exception to the every single 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.280 second thing. Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:24.600 Yes, you are supposed to pay attention. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.800 There's no way they're going to be able to mandate 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.600 people paying attention in the same way though, if you've 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:29.880 got a self driving car, it's. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:30.640 Just not possible. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.800 I find it nearly effortless to keep the car between 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.520 the painted lines. So why am I using a self 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.280 driving car, if I have to pay attention as acutely 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.040 as I do the rest. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.040 Right at that point, I've wondered that from the very thing, 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.000 you're not tired from steering. I've wondered that from the 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.880 very beginning. I don't mind driving now, So why would 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.240 I go self driving If I'm going to pay the 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.320 same amount of attention with my hands, I'm steering well 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.400 in the same spot. So it just defies human nature. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.600 But anyway, that frightens that hell out of me that 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.560 I've trained my brain to not see driving as like 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.760 a life and death situation for me and everybody else 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:08.240 on the road. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.200 I'll bet between a year and two from now a 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.960 big study comes out that confirms exactly what you just said. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.040 I think you nailed it, and I haven't heard anybody 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.480 talking about that either. I get you visionary. 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.800 I don't know if it's happening for other people, but 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.040 I know for a fact, does this happened to me 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.960 that I have to remind myself, Oh, that's right, I'm 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:27.480 in my truck. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.240 It doesn't drive itself. Geez, that's scary. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:31.400 Wow. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.200 There's really no need for self driving car other than 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.040 when you're in bad big city traffic. 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.720 It is the greatest. It is the greatest, and bad 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.560 traffic just fantastic. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.320 You're just you're sitting on your couch with whoever else 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.320 is in the car, you know, talk and listening to 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.040 music as it takes you along in the miserable traffic. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.040 Wow. Cool. So coming up this hour and perhaps next hour, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.120 the year in review, a lot of the big news 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.640 stories that everybody paid attention to. It's both kind of 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.000 informed of and amusing to hear that list go by. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.439 Also the leading series on what's going on with the 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.000 drones rated for which is the most likely? 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.000 And that pole on gunning down CEOs in the street, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:12.920 which is disturbing. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.879 Yeiit Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.320 That's people shouting, free, chanting, free Luigi outside of his jail. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.920 He's the murderous scumbag who killed this CEO from United Healthcare. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.560 And they also have signs that more CEOs need to die. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:38.880 Well. 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.120 So there's a poll out today from Emerson College that's 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:47.119 a real polling outfit. Forty one percent of young people 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:51.160 that would be under thirty eighteen to twenty nine year olds, 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.800 forty one percent of young people say it's at least 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.959 somewhat acceptable to murder CEOs in the street. You have 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.480 twenty four percent that's say it's somewhat seventeen percent say 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.119 it's completely acceptable. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.280 So that's a little troubling. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.199 Yeah, I would say so, but not shocking given the 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.399 indoctrination that they've been under in their their schools and 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.960 high schools and colleges for the last several couple generations. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.360 Twice as many Democrats as Republicans. By the way, probably 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.320 fits in with your whole college theory since probably more 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.359 went to But anyway, so the pro murder party, maybe 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:29.560 the drones will fix all this. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:30.720 That's what we're hoping. 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:38.360 Somehow, the drone invasion will our drone overlords. Here's something 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.160 that amazes me that we're now, I don't know how 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.920 many weeks into this as actually listened to a podcast yesterday. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.760 A New Jersey native said, Hey, we've been talking about 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.600 this in New Jersey for a lot longer than the 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.600 rest of you have. So in New Jersey they've been 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.760 talking about it for like a month. The country's been 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.280 talking about it for like two weeks. All the drones 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.560 being spotted over New Jersey. Here's the sitting US Senator 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.720 one of them from New Jersey Senator Kristen Gillibrand. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.000 I don't know if it's safe or not safe because 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.840 we don't have full domain awareness. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.159 We don't know whose the drones are. We don't know 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.119 whether they're adversarial or run by a foreign entity. We 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.119 don't know what their purpose is. We don't know if 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:15.760 they're spying. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.280 So as of today, a US senator from the state 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.399 in question doesn't know if they're foreign, domestic, or a threat. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.280 Despite all the things that we're hearing from various people, 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:28.600 I find that amazing. 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.720 Yeah, I was being critical of the idea of sharing 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:35.160 sensitive intelligence with senators because some of them are lunkheads earlier. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.439 But the fact that she couldn't rule out any of 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:44.200 those things, I mean, you'd think the military could have said, hey, superclassified, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.200 what's happening. I'll tell you what's not happening is Chinese 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.879 spies don't worry about that. They couldn't check any of 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.400 those bombs, right. It seems very strange, right what. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:57.000 Is going on with the communication? I have no idea. 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.520 I don't even know what my working theory is right now. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:08.520 I don't either, And the amount of uh nutty stuff 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.359 going on online. I refuse to use the term's misinformation 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:16.360 and it's cruel cousin disinformation. I just I don't know why. 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.360 Probably because it's like using the term fact check. Yeah, 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.960 it's become so tainted with the dishonesty of the people 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:23.840 who use those terms. 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.680 I just it makes me feel oogy to go there, 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.920 dishonesty or mishonesty. Right, beautiful. 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.159 Uh, let's see. I want to hear. I need to 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.240 hear one more thing, how about Yeah, this good example 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.879 is Mayor Mike Mellam of some little town in New 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.080 Jersey forty two. Please, Michael, there was and there is 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.040 an alert that's out right now that radioactive material in 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:48.639 New Jersey has gone missing. 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:53.159 See that's crazy that a month into this. 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.159 People are saying, yeah, there's nuclear material missing, don't know 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.640 anything about that, or senator says, I don't know if 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.520 they're f or domestic, or if there're a threat. 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.040 That's just not possible that this can be happening. 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.920 Well, it's certainly not acceptable. Yeah. So and then somebody 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.479 in authority came out and said no, no, no, no, 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:17.200 there's no radioactive material missing from some medical lab. That's 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:18.520 just not true. 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.880 Well, let me say what I'm not worried that. I'm 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.920 not worried that it's Ran or China. I don't think 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.800 it is. I agree with Trump. I think the Pentagon 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.080 would know and do something about it. Of course, you 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.320 would have thought they'd have done something about the spy 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.040 balloon from China that went clear across the country, and 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.560 they didn't do anything about it until some farmers said, hey, 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:38.320 what the hell has had and it made the news. 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.720
