Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Kaddy Armstrong and
Speaker 1: d and he Arms Drum Studio.
Speaker 2: See see signor rye dimly lit room deeper than the
Speaker 2: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. You can
Speaker 2: smell the weekend from here. And today we're under the
Speaker 2: tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: The American Consumer.
Speaker 3: What I'm across the couple of really really interesting pieces
Speaker 3: of journalism about the current state of the haves and
Speaker 3: have nots and spending and holiday this and that, and
Speaker 3: the economy and insurance. Trump's inheriting a bit of a
Speaker 3: mess economically speaking. I mean, the economy is in decent
Speaker 3: enough shape, but the swirling economic winds are swirling, swirlingly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Still the things still haven't sorted out since COVID. Obviously
Speaker 2: there's a lot of truth to that. Yeah, it's still
Speaker 2: the weird. At the risk of throwing out another tortured metaphor, no.
Speaker 3: It's like the wake of a boat still, I mean,
Speaker 3: still sloshing back and forth and causing problems and may
Speaker 3: well for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the level of deficits
Speaker 1: we're running right.
Speaker 2: My anecdotal evidences, man, places are poppin' malls and restaurants
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, super super busy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 3: Although again one of the headlines is that businesses that
Speaker 3: cater to the lower core tile, say of income shoppers,
Speaker 3: are seeing those folks really cutting back on spending.
Speaker 2: Interesting And is that a canary in the coal mine
Speaker 2: or not? I guess this is a swirling wake of
Speaker 2: a ship. Did that crowd just run out of a
Speaker 2: credit card space before the next quintile does.
Speaker 3: And stimmy money plus blue collar wages. And I've been
Speaker 3: acutely aware of this because of a couple of things
Speaker 3: I'm involved in.
Speaker 1: Rose very very steeply, Like.
Speaker 3: Four years ago to two years ago, you couldn't find waiters,
Speaker 3: you couldn't hire a dishwasher, and so businesses were thrown
Speaker 3: crazy money just to get workers, blue collar workers. That
Speaker 3: has leveled off now a good deal, so their wages
Speaker 3: are not rising nearly as fast as the prices of
Speaker 3: their food has, for instance.
Speaker 2: So I hate to bring up the drones again. Oh no,
Speaker 2: do do we need to figure this out? But there's
Speaker 2: a nation, But why have I not heard a single
Speaker 2: person point out the logical fallacy of authorities saying, we
Speaker 2: don't know what they are, but you're not at risk.
Speaker 1: They're not a danger. I know.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard one person say that makes no sense.
Speaker 2: If you don't know what they are, you can't state
Speaker 2: they're not dangerous. It doesn't make any sense. With all
Speaker 2: due modesty, that is why people join us for this
Speaker 2: little proceeding that we do every weekday.
Speaker 3: How do you miss that? As a quote unquote journalist,
Speaker 3: I feel I have no idea what they are, but
Speaker 3: you're going to be fine.
Speaker 2: What that is such classic doctor Fauci givings is the
Speaker 2: information that he thinks we can handle a little bit
Speaker 2: at a time. It's just a government trying to manipulate
Speaker 2: is I hate that more than anything in the world
Speaker 2: I have since I was a tiny child, when I
Speaker 2: could tell that the teacher was doing that, I just
Speaker 2: freaking hate that. Tell me what is true, I'll deal
Speaker 2: with it, but don't do that. Oh God, that makes
Speaker 2: me angry.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I was just discussing this with my wife, who has
Speaker 3: a medical procedure. She's fine, but gotta be not have
Speaker 3: anything in her stomach at all, like it's it's not
Speaker 3: a surgery, but it's that sort of thing because you can't,
Speaker 3: you know, aspirate while you're under anesthesia, and so you know,
Speaker 3: as of midnight, no solids and no clear liquids after
Speaker 3: seven am, whatever the guidelines are.
Speaker 1: And we're discussing the fact.
Speaker 2: That you can take little just to keep your mouth wet,
Speaker 2: SIPs of water.
Speaker 1: But if you.
Speaker 3: If you say what is the actual maximum you can do,
Speaker 3: the morons of the world will figure it's okay to
Speaker 3: have a ham sand, what's in an extra large coke?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Or surgery. I don't like I don't like that. I
Speaker 1: don't like that. I don't let the morons die. Tell
Speaker 1: everybody the truth, all the hard.
Speaker 3: Hearted Jack Armstrong folks showing his true colors there. But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the point. I've had nurses say, no, this is okay,
Speaker 3: and this is okay. Just don't do any more than that,
Speaker 3: because I know I'm a non moron, but that there's
Speaker 3: so much of life that's like that, you know, the
Speaker 3: from official pronouncements like you're talking about, to medical advice
Speaker 3: to is it okay to have a glass of chardney
Speaker 3: while I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1: Yes, the baby will be perfectly fine.
Speaker 3: But some people will take that advice and shot gun
Speaker 3: an entire bottle of wild turkey.
Speaker 1: So I will tell them.
Speaker 3: That not even a single drop must passion, and so
Speaker 3: don't even.
Speaker 1: Look at a bottle of wine. This pregnant.
Speaker 2: This pregnant woman went to Octoberfest because the doctor said
Speaker 2: one glass of wine per week would be okay exactly.
Speaker 3: Can we have some sort of test? It can be
Speaker 3: administered as early as age twelve. I think you either.
Speaker 1: Get a an M card that you have to show
Speaker 1: at all official proceedings M for Mara. We're an M card.
Speaker 2: So this this conversation driven out of the how do
Speaker 2: journalists stand there while a mayor or a governor, or
Speaker 2: a house wrepper whatever says we don't know what they are,
Speaker 2: but you're in no danger.
Speaker 1: They're no threat to anyone, and say that makes no sense.
Speaker 1: Nine one one.
Speaker 3: There's a man in my headache. I heard him up there. Well,
Speaker 3: we have no idea who he is, but you're in
Speaker 3: no danger. Rust assured, everything is.
Speaker 2: Fine, right, it'll be fine. Oh man, we should start
Speaker 2: the show officially. It fits in with that. We also
Speaker 2: have a Salem witch trial thing happening here, clearly, clearly,
Speaker 2: if you've ever.
Speaker 1: Read about that, that is occurring.
Speaker 2: So that after the opening clip, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Speaker 2: Joe Getty on this it is. How did it already
Speaker 2: get to be Friday December thirteenth? Oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth, and we have unidentified objects in the sky.
Speaker 1: You're twenty twenty four. We are Armstrong and Getty, and
Speaker 1: we approve of this program.
Speaker 3: All right, let's begin cracking down on which is apparently
Speaker 3: according to FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 1: Here we go, at Mark, we have.
Speaker 5: No evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings
Speaker 5: pose a national security or a public safety threat.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. That was shortly after he said
Speaker 1: we don't know what they are? What Sorry, that's laughable.
Speaker 2: I started to laugh at you, but you just said
Speaker 2: something hilarious like you're a stand up comedian.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I get it.
Speaker 3: You can state we have no evidence that they are
Speaker 3: a national security threat, but when coupled with on the
Speaker 3: other hand, we got no stinking idea what they are,
Speaker 3: and that that's rather colors the first statement.
Speaker 1: So people are starting to see them all around the country. Now.
Speaker 2: I think that's a yes, full on Salem witch trial
Speaker 2: situation if you've ever read about that way. The difference
Speaker 2: being there apparently are some sort of flying objects in
Speaker 2: the sky. There were never actually any witches, but now
Speaker 2: everything everybody sees in the sky they called the news
Speaker 2: or a copper or whatever, and it's a plain you
Speaker 2: live near an airport.
Speaker 1: They've been there for years, So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, which could well cloud the ability to
Speaker 3: get to the bottom of what I think is actually
Speaker 3: a significant, you know, set of activities there in New
Speaker 3: Jersey and previously at Langley in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Iranian mothership, you think mostly whatever that is, I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what, uh.
Speaker 3: Iran can't afford a mothership, right, no kidding. They're hurting,
Speaker 3: for certain, but are they a dangerous cornered beast? More
Speaker 3: on that to come step. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: They had to.
Speaker 2: They couldn't come to the aid of Syria because they're
Speaker 2: stretched so thin with Hesbel and Hamas being devastated. And
Speaker 2: one thing I got from that Bob Woodward book is
Speaker 2: the Israel Israeli response, which was kind of treated as well.
Speaker 1: They had to they had to gesture that they.
Speaker 2: Won't put up with this, and Iran had to make
Speaker 2: some noises and everything it's calling down and then so
Speaker 2: Israel didn't gloat about it because they didn't want to
Speaker 2: put Iran in a bad position. But they took around,
Speaker 2: they took out Iran's best technology, and then they went
Speaker 2: to where Iran has their very top stuff to be
Speaker 2: able to avoid being attacked. Israel went inside that and
Speaker 2: blew up a couple inconsequential things.
Speaker 1: But just to say you can't stop us.
Speaker 2: You couldn't see us, you didn't even know we were there,
Speaker 2: So look f around and find out if you keep
Speaker 2: doing this, because we could blow up anything. And they
Speaker 2: and they didn't brag about that, and it wasn't really
Speaker 2: reported on to not put Iran in an uncomfortable position
Speaker 2: where they have to defend themselves. But Israel really really
Speaker 2: exposed Iran as defenseless. They're defenseless right now, essentially, Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is I've been listening to a couple of different
Speaker 2: podcasts where, you know, not crazy people are making the argument,
Speaker 2: why aren't we taking out It's been our policy in
Speaker 2: the United States has been regime change in Iran, say,
Speaker 2: with Israel for forever now. Is the best time that's
Speaker 2: ever ever going to happen. They're defenseless, they're catering. Why
Speaker 2: wouldn't you take them out?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't we I think I think we had such
Speaker 2: a bad experience with some resume changes that went wrong
Speaker 2: that there's not a big appetite for that. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's one would hope we learned some of the lessons
Speaker 2: from our absolutely horrific, insane, idiotic administration of Iraq. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's easy to kick the old guy out, but to
Speaker 2: organize the new thing is an incredible amount of work.
Speaker 2: Although the Iranian people are not the Afghan people, very
Speaker 2: different culture, very very Iraqi people, right, yeah, yeah, although
Speaker 2: they're more similar certainly to Iraq. Anyway, Having said that,
Speaker 2: there is zero chance, and Donald J knows this, there
Speaker 2: is zero chance that the next two years do not
Speaker 2: bring an enormous change in Iran's relationship with the world. Right,
Speaker 2: there is going to be big, big change one way
Speaker 2: or the other. They're closer to getting a bomb than
Speaker 2: they've ever been, and they might be in a situation
Speaker 2: where they need a bomb more than they ever do.
Speaker 2: For the reasons I just laid out that they're completely vulnerable. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we should talk about that more later. That's quite the
Speaker 2: situation that Trump's gonna inherit. How does mailbag look? That's good, good,
Speaker 2: very insightful. Cool, and our text line is KFTC. Brian
Speaker 2: Setzer should really be on the list of all time
Speaker 2: great guitar players. Oh ridiculous. Love his plant and the stride.
Speaker 4: To be able to play like that, But I'd have
Speaker 4: to practice a lot. Who has the time straight? Cats
Speaker 4: are touring the whole the whole group. Really Yeah, next year,
Speaker 4: little game. I keep a good plan.
Speaker 2: If you're old enough, you remember the Duke lacrosse rape hoax,
Speaker 2: which not was not known as a hoax in the beginning.
Speaker 1: Slash lynching, high tech media lynching, Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 2: The woman that made the claims did an interview yesterday
Speaker 2: where she finally admits on camera to having made the
Speaker 2: whole thing up.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that later.
Speaker 2: I think it may have been one of the lead
Speaker 2: moments in the country going crazy.
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the one of the
Speaker 1: first leading us down that path, and I.
Speaker 3: Think it it was a pivotal moment in people understanding
Speaker 3: that activists will lie, and the media will accept their
Speaker 3: lies and hurt people for their preferred causes.
Speaker 1: Opened a lot of eyes. Here's your freedom loving No.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I didn't get through the phrase, Michael,
Speaker 3: I stopped myself. No, no, Katie, don't you put your
Speaker 3: finger at me? No, like your finger at his wrists.
Speaker 2: To a Friday slip.
Speaker 1: He broke his wrists. It's a strike. It was a sweating.
Speaker 3: I'm I know.
Speaker 1: No, when you don't.
Speaker 2: Tease cow on a Friday, we all get so excited.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm here to bring joy to teacher,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that I have. You sure did having bass.
Speaker 1: All right, all that to come, Let's take a fond
Speaker 1: look back at the week that was. It's cow clips
Speaker 1: of the Week. I want to give it to me.
Speaker 3: I don't care how long it is.
Speaker 1: What's the movie Syria? He's a dangerous cocktail? What the
Speaker 1: hell happened here? So fat? The moment is just utterly surreal.
Speaker 6: The tells him there's no more army, no more prisons.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 5: He says, this is an amazing geopolitical disaster, particularly for
Speaker 5: the Russians.
Speaker 2: You know, twenty five percent chance it turns.
Speaker 1: Out really well, and Luis G.
Speaker 2: Mangione, they ask him, have you been to New York recently?
Speaker 1: And he starts shaking.
Speaker 3: People are selling things or we're selling things with Mangoni's
Speaker 3: image on Etsy.
Speaker 1: Hear me on this, he is no hero.
Speaker 3: People are not thrilled with the Altoona McDonald's employees who
Speaker 3: mickfingered him.
Speaker 6: Some of the comments worth thoughts and deductibles to the family.
Speaker 1: Why I felt joy unfortunately, you know, because serious.
Speaker 7: I mean, I love that the CEOs are afraid right now.
Speaker 1: You should be those mysterious drones in the skies for
Speaker 1: weeks now.
Speaker 3: At this point, nobody's seen any of these units taking
Speaker 3: off or landing.
Speaker 1: Are they testing our ability to respond to this? I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you the real deal. I ran launched
Speaker 1: a mothership. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you the deal.
Speaker 3: It's off the east coast of the United States of America.
Speaker 5: There is no evidence of any foreign based involvement from
Speaker 5: coastal vessels.
Speaker 1: I promise you this is our top priority. We are
Speaker 1: such potential.
Speaker 3: If you could be just just non biased, you hurt
Speaker 3: yourself so badly.
Speaker 1: The new rage item this season is a pardon.
Speaker 3: President issue clemency for nearly fifteen hundred Americans. The right
Speaker 3: thing for the bureau is for me to serve until
Speaker 3: the end of the current administration in January, and then stepped.
Speaker 2: Down, Trump bluntly declaring the resignation of Christopher Ray is
Speaker 2: a great day for America.
Speaker 1: I want it. Give it to me. I don't care
Speaker 1: how long it is. Wow.
Speaker 2: That was really an unfortunate tanform phrases prasing use that
Speaker 2: for some sort of drop there.
Speaker 3: Handsome, well done and done. Yes, yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: here's your freedom loving quote.
Speaker 1: Beck. This is actually paraphrasing Craig.
Speaker 3: The healthcare guru Brian in beautiful Haettisburg, Mississippi noted it,
Speaker 3: and this is actually a fairly popular phrase or thought
Speaker 3: among those of us who are trying to preserve sanity
Speaker 3: and limited government.
Speaker 1: And what Craig said essentially yesterday is.
Speaker 3: No individual right exists that depends on the labor of another.
Speaker 1: That was good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's again I've come across that thought, and
Speaker 3: it's a good one, the concept. And we're not gonna
Speaker 3: have time for meal bag and it's fine. I'd rather
Speaker 3: talk about this anyway, at least for the moment. The
Speaker 3: concept of a right, which is a sacred, inviolable thing
Speaker 3: that human beings must have, has gotten dumbed down and
Speaker 3: spread out to that which would be really nice or
Speaker 3: is maybe even really really important, like housing a roof
Speaker 3: over your head, but if somebody else has to pay
Speaker 3: for it and do the work, that's not a right.
Speaker 1: That's just something that's very important that you would like.
Speaker 1: That's definitely a different category. That's a good one. That's
Speaker 1: a good one.
Speaker 3: And look, if you want government policy that includes that
Speaker 3: second category of stuff too, that's fine, we can talk
Speaker 3: about that. But do not dumb down the concept of
Speaker 3: a natural right, or it'll be much easier to wipe
Speaker 3: them away.
Speaker 1: You could wipe.
Speaker 3: Away the free speech with the idea that if I
Speaker 3: don't get a house in the suburbs, then I don't
Speaker 3: get free speech either.
Speaker 1: Don't blur those lines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want the Second Amendment to get thrown
Speaker 2: out with healthcare as a right.
Speaker 1: Mailbag on the way to a bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: Time magazine named Donald Trump. They're twenty twenty four Person
Speaker 7: of the Year. Trump is the first man in history
Speaker 7: being Times Person of the Year and McDonald's Employee of.
Speaker 1: The Month history is me. Time also announced.
Speaker 7: Some additional categories. Athlete of the Year is Caitlyn Clark
Speaker 7: and Offward. Question of the Year is your grandma asking
Speaker 7: me what is huktua?
Speaker 1: And you go, yeah, oh oh. That reminds me.
Speaker 3: We've got to bring back the audio of Caitlin Clark
Speaker 3: expressing her regret for her white privilege.
Speaker 2: Um So on Trump being Time magazine Person of the Year.
Speaker 2: I haven't read the article, but Mark Alpern mentioned on
Speaker 2: his podcast the other day he said, the article about
Speaker 2: Trump in Time is like an article about an incoming
Speaker 2: president who was duly elected should be and just how
Speaker 2: differently Trump is being treated than he was first time around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's it's interesting too. Trump is different than
Speaker 3: he was first time around. Yeah, and this transition is
Speaker 3: just crazy. I want to talk about the unprecedented, really
Speaker 3: amazing way he is being treated as the president already
Speaker 3: all around the world. And I will quote the great
Speaker 3: Peggy Noonan at times as well, because she's been writing
Speaker 3: about this man.
Speaker 2: I just saw the Fox poll has seventy seven percent
Speaker 2: of Americans say the economy is fair or poor. Seventy
Speaker 2: seven percent Wow, so interesting. That's a heck of a
Speaker 2: thing to walk into.
Speaker 3: I think it was the great economist Joe Getty who
Speaker 3: once said, if inflation is nothing, else matters.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, speaking of the Time article, this is devastating. This
Speaker 3: is this is Trump effortlessly devastating Kamala Harris Time asked
Speaker 3: Trump about Kamala and what he thought were the worst
Speaker 3: mistakes in her campaign. Trump's response, writes Andrew Styles, was
Speaker 3: one of the most devastating accurate assessments delivered to date.
Speaker 1: What Trump said was, quote.
Speaker 3: The biggest mistake was taking the assignment number one, because
Speaker 3: you have to know what you're good at.
Speaker 2: He's right, that's pretty that's pretty good. That's that's just
Speaker 2: pretty good all the way around. Just then life, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, her biggest mistake was running because she's a terrible
Speaker 3: candidate and nobody likes her anyway.
Speaker 1: We've been saying that for quite some time.
Speaker 2: This is your dessert after Joe does whatever he's gonna do.
Speaker 2: One of the funniest texts we've ever gotten. Yes, although
Speaker 2: it's a bit insider, not everybody will get it. But
Speaker 2: if you're a longtime listener and you know all the
Speaker 2: particulars it's very very funny.
Speaker 1: So stay don okay, very good. So do we need
Speaker 1: the mail bag music? I don't know. People like it.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't need it. People like it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you take a poll?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: No, Occasionally I've said, let's leave it out in people.
Speaker 3: Right now, you kind of play the music, all right?
Speaker 3: So all right, mail Bag drops a note mail Bag
Speaker 3: at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2: One of our best bosses, smartest barsons we ever said
Speaker 2: about listeners, people don't know what they like, but they
Speaker 2: like what they know.
Speaker 1: And that's true. I'm the same way. Yeah.
Speaker 3: To a large extent, we humans are looking for patterns
Speaker 3: and comfort food or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So this note from side Joe Bob. I have a
Speaker 3: feeling this joke is at least one hundred years old.
Speaker 3: Side Shoe Bob, who is worth noting, served in the
Speaker 3: United States Marine Corps, God bless him. I heard that
Speaker 3: Army is only going to dress fifteen players for tomorrow's
Speaker 3: game against Navy. The rest are able to dress themselves.
Speaker 3: Go Navy, beat on me.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a good excuse to mention that that
Speaker 3: great tradition that game is happening this weekend. The President
Speaker 3: elect is going to be there with Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: And the crowd is going to cheer him like, oh
Speaker 2: freaking crapy.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, fantastic. Who did Trump announce it was
Speaker 3: going to be there with them? It's notable. Flit it
Speaker 3: out of my head. It doesn't matter. Watch TV you'll
Speaker 3: find out. Calvin from California rights, Good morning, Jack, Joe. Hmm.
Speaker 3: I love your show and this is my first correspondence
Speaker 3: in five years of listening. Well, Calvin, you're you're one
Speaker 3: for one brother. You've cut through with your fine, brief
Speaker 3: and witty email.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 3: I've a thought regarding the drones. There are reports that
Speaker 3: the lights on the drones turn off when they're being tracked.
Speaker 3: My thought is, if these were foreign drones, why would
Speaker 3: they have lights on in the first place. I've seen
Speaker 3: plenty of videos of these drones. They all have red
Speaker 3: and blue marker lights, which are required by the FAA.
Speaker 3: I feel like valence drones wouldn't have lights that would
Speaker 3: make them easy to spot.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: Heget's going to be with Trump at the Army Navy Game.
Speaker 2: Lisa Ardell says, so right.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow. If hag Zepp gets cheered, that helps him
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you're right, and surely he will. Here's
Speaker 3: a fighting man who himself who has stood up for
Speaker 3: our active duties personnel and veterans with great energy and courage.
Speaker 3: Whether you think he ought to be the secdaff or not,
Speaker 3: he will be greeted warmly.
Speaker 2: Okay, you did an email about the drones over New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I gotta read the text. Several more to come. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll save the text then if you got more to you,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you. Let's see.
Speaker 3: Steve from Everett, Beautiful Washington rights I suspect that the
Speaker 3: drones flying in a grid pattern is likely due to
Speaker 3: lie TOAR mapping of key infrastructure. It's the same technique
Speaker 3: that's used to find Mayan ruins or sunken sea vessels.
Speaker 1: Interesting. He thinks it is something. Deliver it and you know, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not city, No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Government officials said there's nothing to be concerned about, even
Speaker 2: though they don't know what they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Shit, app let's see. This is from Jerome.
Speaker 3: Woke up to news this morning that now there are
Speaker 3: drones being spotted over more states, including southern California. Yeah, apparently,
Speaker 3: apparently people have never looked up at the sky. I
Speaker 3: live in a highly populated area, and on any given night,
Speaker 3: there are numerous drones and airplanes all over the sky.
Speaker 3: They're everywhere. Additionally, most everything that is being reported is incorrect.
Speaker 3: They're drones. Wrong, most appear to be airplanes. Well, it
Speaker 3: depends where you are, but all drones need to be registered. Wrong, wrong, wrong,
Speaker 3: it's only commercial drones. They're purposely avoiding restricted airspace. Most
Speaker 3: drones have built in tech that won't allow them to
Speaker 3: fly into restricted air of space.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're coming from an Iranian mother ship. You're too
Speaker 3: stupid to speak. Oh, that is harsh, jerome, such harsh
Speaker 3: judgments of your solo Americas.
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 3: This is the media, including you guys, hyping something up
Speaker 3: that goes on nightly all over the country.
Speaker 1: Disagree with you on that point.
Speaker 3: I think something notable is happening and did happen at
Speaker 3: the Air Force base in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the text I like so much. It's a
Speaker 2: sing along. There's a drone in the sky where the
Speaker 2: clowns once roamed. The internet's full of dummies.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, wow, that is good. Four stars, highly recommended.
Speaker 3: Where are the clowns once roamed? Oh that's funny. Oh
Speaker 3: that's beautiful. And then finally this from Mike and Rural Georgia.
Speaker 3: He signs off, Well, I'll just read it first. I
Speaker 3: haven't heard anyone mention the special access program of our
Speaker 3: government to explain these drones makes total sense, especially following
Speaker 3: the spy balloon incident. That's why they say there's no
Speaker 3: danger to the public. The President may not even know.
Speaker 3: We have contractors we hire to expose our vulnerabilities. Only
Speaker 3: a select few at the top know what's going on.
Speaker 3: All right, anothers area, and then he signs off Mike
Speaker 3: and Rural Georgia. Drone free for obvious reasons. I presume
Speaker 3: that perhaps the self reliant red neck ear regions of
Speaker 3: our country below it blow them to hell out of
Speaker 3: the sky if they didn't like their presence.
Speaker 2: There's been a lot said about the war in Ukraine
Speaker 2: being such a testing ground for new methods of warfare
Speaker 2: and new equipment and all that sort of stuff, and
Speaker 2: it's been you know, changing, even on the battlefield over
Speaker 2: the last three years. But we certainly all became aware
Speaker 2: of drone attacks that nobody had ever heard of that
Speaker 2: or seen that, or oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now it's a common thing.
Speaker 2: Maybe we've really really decided, Wow, we've got to be
Speaker 2: ready for a drone attack from Russia, ran whoever the
Speaker 2: hell a drug cartel all over the United States, and
Speaker 2: we're just really gearing up for that.
Speaker 1: That's certainly possible. I certainly hope we are.
Speaker 3: In fact, if the opposite is true, that's horrifying, since
Speaker 3: it's obviously the new face of warfare, unmanned assaults. Oh,
Speaker 3: speaking of which, I'm glad you mentioned the cartels. I'd
Speaker 3: seen the article and we hadn't brought it up on
Speaker 3: the air that one of your was it the Gulf cartel,
Speaker 3: I think one of the Mexican drug cartels. They're not
Speaker 3: drug cartels, they're just gigantic criminal corporations. One of the
Speaker 3: Mexican cartels boasted in a video they posted online that
Speaker 3: they were testing attack drones right on the border.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's a drone in the sky where the clowns
Speaker 2: once roamed. The Internet's full of dummies.
Speaker 3: I don't think the word brilliant is misapplied. The quick
Speaker 3: word from our friends and sponsors that Simply Save Home security,
Speaker 3: great way to protect your home during the holidays. Jack
Speaker 3: can tell you through bitter bitter experience, burglars often target
Speaker 3: homes during the holidays because he got all sorts of
Speaker 3: cool stuff under the tree.
Speaker 2: One time I got my house broken into many years ago,
Speaker 2: is because uh, Christmas presents were under the tree.
Speaker 1: And it's just horrifying.
Speaker 2: And obviously it's never good to have your home broken into,
Speaker 2: but to have your prison stolen extra horrible.
Speaker 1: And now I drive away.
Speaker 2: Got the simply Safe sign out front to alert people
Speaker 2: to the fact that I set up all the stuff
Speaker 2: inside and outside with the cameras and all that, and
Speaker 2: with simply Safety Active Guard outdoor protection, which is a
Speaker 2: game changer, preventing crime before it even happens. Anybody you'd
Speaker 2: break into your home to steal your kid's presence up,
Speaker 2: held down, burned with the Yule log in my opinion,
Speaker 2: too draconian.
Speaker 1: Sorry, no anyway, So get in touch with.
Speaker 3: The good folks that simply Safe use our code Armstrong
Speaker 3: fifty percent off any new system with a select professional
Speaker 3: monitoring plan. And we're talking about the Active Guard Outdoor
Speaker 3: Protection changes. The game prevents crime before it happens, so
Speaker 3: there are no yule log tortures necessary. If someone's lurking
Speaker 3: around or acting suspiciously, the agents can stop.
Speaker 1: Them before they break in.
Speaker 3: And again it's about a buck a day with no
Speaker 3: long term contracts. Come out simply safe dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 3: That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe
Speaker 3: like simply safe.
Speaker 2: Us talking with our executive producer hands the other day
Speaker 2: about how are least oldest kids have moved into the
Speaker 2: clothes for Christmas stage of life and uh, which is all,
Speaker 2: you know, fine and awesome and everything like that, but
Speaker 2: it's not the same thrill as your little kid running
Speaker 2: out and seeing their new whatever and losing their minds
Speaker 2: over it.
Speaker 3: Ry.
Speaker 1: Here's the shoes I wanted. Cool.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back to my room now and sit
Speaker 2: there with my headphones on and listen to music.
Speaker 1: Continue being sullen. Oh my god, yeah, Wow.
Speaker 2: Surly to bed, surly tor eyes man, I understand the
Speaker 2: I understood early to bed, surly to rise, no doubt.
Speaker 2: I understand the teenager thing and separating from the nest
Speaker 2: and all that. That all makes perfectly good sense to me,
Speaker 2: and I get and have no but why are we
Speaker 2: after all these years of evolution, why do people go
Speaker 2: through puberty and it's just so uncomfortable? Why hasn't that
Speaker 2: been smoothed out over years of evolution just from hormone
Speaker 2: standpoint and all that different sort of thing. I think
Speaker 2: the answer is this is as good as it gets.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now I'm tempted to bring up gender bending madness right
Speaker 3: now and puberty blockers and that sort of thing, but
Speaker 3: I'll wait.
Speaker 2: Yes, Michael, before we break, you want me to play
Speaker 2: the clip of what that text is based on.
Speaker 1: Some people who have a reference.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, if you're an activist group in Seattle
Speaker 3: that was protesting against the downing of a beloved I guess, tree.
Speaker 1: What that hole in the side where the tree.
Speaker 6: Once was, somebody's making money. There's a hole in the
Speaker 6: sky where the tree once was. Somebody's making money. There's
Speaker 6: a hole in the sky in the sky instead of
Speaker 6: a spreading canopy. There's a hole in the sky in
Speaker 6: the sky instead of a ninety year old tree.
Speaker 3: And then you rope in the killer clowns to the
Speaker 3: edge of the woods that the soft heads of America
Speaker 3: were terrified of for roughly a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that woman who accused those Ducal Cross players
Speaker 2: of raping her has come forward and said I made
Speaker 2: it all up, which everybody knew, but its first time
Speaker 2: she said it in an interview. I think that was
Speaker 2: the beginning of something in this country. I think that's
Speaker 2: when we started down the road of activist prosecutors.
Speaker 1: And all kinds of different things.
Speaker 2: Ah that weren't good, and media not caring anymore about
Speaker 2: what's true and what's not.
Speaker 3: We'll revisit lass journalism as opposed to factor journalism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll revisit that at some point, among other things.
Speaker 2: Katie's headlines are coming up next, sung by a drunk
Speaker 2: guy last charm.
Speaker 1: Criticizing my hobbies, John Dean.
Speaker 3: He's so laid that. We had a lot to get
Speaker 3: to today, and we will get to it and do course. First, though,
Speaker 3: let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 1: It's the lead story with.
Speaker 3: Katie Green and Katie thank you guys.
Speaker 1: Starting with Bright Martin News.
Speaker 8: US senator says mysterious drums spotted in New Jersey should
Speaker 8: be quote shut down if necessary, says Senator Blumenthal, a
Speaker 8: US senator.
Speaker 1: I'm a prominent US senator.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why that hasn't occurred yet. We don't
Speaker 2: know what they are. They're near sensitive sights. You take
Speaker 2: it down, don't you. I mean, it's not got to
Speaker 2: be US policy.
Speaker 3: And somebody says they're not near enough to the military
Speaker 3: base to be a problem. It's okay, everybody, but nobody's
Speaker 3: said that definitively.
Speaker 2: What if they're just spying on you, Well, it's terrible
Speaker 2: and shouldn't be permitted. But the idea that the Biden
Speaker 2: administration would do nothing thing when doing something is desperately
Speaker 2: needed is completely unsurprising from NBC.
Speaker 8: Suspect and CEO's killing wasn't even insured by United Healthcare.
Speaker 3: Well, no, and his social media and text messages and
Speaker 3: emails and everything have been scrutinized, and he really never
Speaker 3: made any mention of having any problem with insurance.
Speaker 1: Of course, he was twenty six.
Speaker 3: He may have still been on his rich, rich family's insurance,
Speaker 3: but he had some serious back injuries and work done
Speaker 3: back there. So but yeah, like wasn't a part of
Speaker 3: anything he was writing about and thinking about in real life.
Speaker 1: Very odd.
Speaker 3: I just think he is the young diletante, the rich
Speaker 3: boy who wants to put his mark on the world.
Speaker 1: He's self righteous.
Speaker 3: He thinks he's so smart and better than any everybody
Speaker 3: that he's figured it all out and can not only
Speaker 3: be the judge and the jury, but the execution. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't want to take all he's a crack news time,
Speaker 2: but that is a kind of person we know, whether
Speaker 2: it's been Laden or whoever, the rich kid who.
Speaker 1: Does this sort of thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's like to have everything from
Speaker 2: the get go. I didn't have anything, as I was
Speaker 2: talking about yesterday, not having cars that would start and
Speaker 2: eating you know, crappy food. But if you have everything
Speaker 2: from the gift go, what's your motivation every day? What's
Speaker 2: your life purpose? What's your this is who I am?
Speaker 2: I don't know because I didn't have that experience, right,
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's got.
Speaker 1: To leave a hell of a hole.
Speaker 8: From CNN, Lincoln and Turkish foreign minister try to seek
Speaker 8: to quote complete the hostage and cease fire deal in Gaza.
Speaker 1: I wish them well.
Speaker 8: From the New York Times, Russia hits Ukraine's energy infrastructure
Speaker 8: in a renewed assault.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard Zelenska saying, this is the most devastating
Speaker 2: attack since the war began. You hear that like every week.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's hyperbole or not, but you
Speaker 2: know it ain't good.
Speaker 1: Putin sees the.
Speaker 3: Bargaining table approaching and is going nuts, trying to do
Speaker 3: as much damage and make you know, getting back to
Speaker 3: the hostage situation thing. You know how Netnia who's going
Speaker 3: to get the deal by so beating the shikelgrubers out
Speaker 3: of his opponents that they're desperate to make a deal
Speaker 3: and Putent's thinking in the same way.
Speaker 8: Also from Breitbart, the Biden legacy record three point five
Speaker 8: million illegal immigrants awarded US citizenship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as we said yesterday, the total number is going
Speaker 2: to be eight million. Biggest movement of human beings on
Speaker 2: planet Earth in a short period of time ever, thanks
Speaker 2: to the Biden administration.
Speaker 8: From the International Business Times, youth in Asia is now
Speaker 8: the cause of one in twenty deaths in Canada.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, we talked about that a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3: If you permit assisted suicide, it just matastasizes. Ironically, it
Speaker 3: grows and grows and grows, and the lines get blurred
Speaker 3: and people start pressuring other people.
Speaker 1: It just isn't something human beings can seem to handle.
Speaker 1: We should talk about that more later. That's wild from
Speaker 1: the New York Post phony dentist who's.
Speaker 8: Seventy busted for practicing out of her New York kitchen
Speaker 8: pulling five rotting teeth from a victim who.
Speaker 1: Paid nearly two grand. Wow, what was your first clue
Speaker 1: that was a phony dentist? The fact that you're in
Speaker 1: her kitchen.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, would you I.
Speaker 1: Got five rotten teeths?
Speaker 3: I gotta have somebody pull them.
Speaker 8: Your meme of the day, it's this guy is sitting
Speaker 8: there smoking a cigarette with a very deep thought look
Speaker 8: on his face, and it says, let's have illegal immigrants
Speaker 8: hunt down sex offenders for a chance at citizenship, and
Speaker 8: we'll call it aliens versus predators.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 8: Finally, the Babylon Bee assassin Luigi Manion lead in twenty
Speaker 8: twenty eight Democratic primary polls.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, the Mike Lavinatti of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are certain circles where that would that would
Speaker 2: be true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I want to talk about those posters going
Speaker 3: up around New York you know, offering or encouraging hunting
Speaker 3: down more CEOs.
Speaker 2: We'll catch you up on some more of the news
Speaker 2: of the day. There's plenty of it. If you miss
