Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Joky enough he.
Speaker 3: Arms from the studio scene.
Speaker 2: See you are, am I correct that it is the
Speaker 2: common workday known as Friday that tends to people get
Speaker 2: people's hearts racing with excitement. That's pretty exciting.
Speaker 4: Your heart is racing with excitement. See your physician right away.
Speaker 4: You've taken one too many flomax or something. Anyway, dimly
Speaker 4: let room, et cetera, et cetera. Today we're under the
Speaker 4: tutelage of our general manager, the enthusiastic about anyone in particular,
Speaker 4: I have a decent one.
Speaker 2: Anything leap to mind. I hadn't thought about it. If
Speaker 2: I was gonna think about it for a second, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe Rand Paul. We've got some great audio from Rand PAULA.
Speaker 2: You know what I was gonna go with was Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and his arch nemesis, Donald Trump right right. I
Speaker 2: was just reading Mark Helprin's morning newsletter before we went
Speaker 2: on the air, as I do every single day. I
Speaker 2: think he's the best political reporter in America. But he
Speaker 2: said there are no articles anywhere with anybody, even on
Speaker 2: background explaining why he decided to attack the pilots yesterday
Speaker 2: of the helicopter after a crash, just speculate, And Mark
Speaker 2: Helprin's summary was, that's just because that's who he is
Speaker 2: and always has been and always will be. And some
Speaker 2: people like it, some people put up with it. It's
Speaker 2: not gonna do him any harm because nothing new and
Speaker 2: the end, Yeah, the attack in the pilot's thing was
Speaker 2: weird and bad. The DEI stuff. Originally, I thought, well,
Speaker 2: it's pretty early to be jumping on that as an
Speaker 2: excuse or anything like that. But it's becoming more and
Speaker 2: more clear that there is a tremendous lack of air
Speaker 2: traffic controllers around the country, including at Reagan Airport at
Speaker 2: the time of the crash. They're having way fewer than
Speaker 2: they are supposed to have. They're supposed to have thirty
Speaker 2: and they have nineteen or something like that, and particularly
Speaker 2: that night dealing with that they had one instead of two.
Speaker 2: And there was a lawsuit last year. One thousand people
Speaker 2: that had applied to be air traffic controllers got together
Speaker 2: with a class action lawsuit and now it hasn't been
Speaker 2: settled yet, but they are claiming that they got turned
Speaker 2: away because of their race. They were otherwise qualified. If
Speaker 2: it turns out that we have half as many air
Speaker 2: traffic controllers in this country, then we're supposed to because
Speaker 2: you're turning away people that are qualified. Right, because of
Speaker 2: the whole DEEI thing, that's going to be quite the
Speaker 2: explosive story, whether or not that directly was the reason
Speaker 2: this crash happened. Who knows? All right, Well, first to
Speaker 2: the first part of the point. Yeah, I've come across
Speaker 2: some stuff that I'll share later on that suggests very
Speaker 2: very strongly that the standards and the methods by which
Speaker 2: we get our air traffic controllers were perverted completely to
Speaker 2: serve DEI goals. So he's absolutely right on that. I
Speaker 2: just my gripe with it was that was not the
Speaker 2: time and to throw it out there without evidence instead
Speaker 2: of presenting it as a rock solid indictment that nobody
Speaker 2: could deny and winning the day is just you know,
Speaker 2: just a loose reference here and kind of a half
Speaker 2: accusation there, and that's not the way to prosecute a
Speaker 2: case and turn the ship of the culture around. I
Speaker 2: just find it frustrating. Yeah, Well, if the topic is
Speaker 2: critiquing Trump's press conference, that's true. Moved on to the
Speaker 2: what's wrong with our air traffic control system because clearly
Speaker 2: they got half as many people as they're supposed to. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: but my point is if you want to fix it,
Speaker 2: you can't be dopey strategically. Yeah, yes, it's a huge issue.
Speaker 2: Pete Hegzeth is out on it and he is going
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of it, and uh yeah,
Speaker 2: and if that turns out to be the case, So
Speaker 2: they laid off so many air traffic controllers over COVID
Speaker 2: when nobody was flying, and then when people tried to
Speaker 2: come back to work when people started flying again, they
Speaker 2: wouldn't let a whole bunch of people come back because
Speaker 2: they weren't the right color or gender or sexual orientation
Speaker 2: or whatever those quota is intact. That's despicable. Well, if
Speaker 2: that's the case, and it sure looks like it is,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't need to be the specific cause of
Speaker 2: this crash, right, it's so horrific, And I think it's
Speaker 2: interesting The New York Times has really gone big on
Speaker 2: this story for what reason. The whole we talked about
Speaker 2: this yesterday at the end of the show why what
Speaker 2: airplane crashes get so much attention. I mean, it's just
Speaker 2: amazing we've had. This is the worst one we've had,
Speaker 2: and now it's like twenty five years or something like that.
Speaker 2: It almost never happens. It's the safest thing you'll do today,
Speaker 2: if you go fly on a plane. It's certainly safer
Speaker 2: than driving to the airport. But anyway, we go crazy
Speaker 2: over air crashes. Washington Crash renews concerns about air safety
Speaker 2: lapses since the New York Times, and they get into
Speaker 2: a lot of how we're understaffed at Reagan Airport and
Speaker 2: at airports all across the country. They do not get
Speaker 2: into the why because that might be uncomfortable, But hmm,
Speaker 2: that is interesting that they are pointing out that a
Speaker 2: lack of air traffic controllers is a big hole we've
Speaker 2: got all across the United States. Air traffic control tower
Speaker 2: at Reagan National has been understaffed for years. The tower
Speaker 2: there was nearly a third below targeted staff levels, with
Speaker 2: nineteen fully certified controllers as of this past fall, when
Speaker 2: they're supposed to have thirty some. But again, they don't
Speaker 2: get into the why. Well, we're going to get into
Speaker 2: the y or the Trump administration is going to get
Speaker 2: into the why well, and we are too, And it
Speaker 2: is a shocking indictment. And you know, this is the
Speaker 2: age of hyperbole, and I hate to sound like I'm
Speaker 2: just trying to be hyperbolic, but it is truly a
Speaker 2: shocking indictment of the way the federal government has been
Speaker 2: run and how it's leached into society. Something as critical
Speaker 2: as life and death as air traffic control was perverted
Speaker 2: to become some sort of social upward mobility program, regardless
Speaker 2: of qualification. It shocks the conscience. It does if it
Speaker 2: turns out and it really looks like it's going to
Speaker 2: that we have half as many controllers as we're supposed
Speaker 2: to because you didn't want white males to get the
Speaker 2: job or whatever. That's insane. Yeah, and you think that's okay,
Speaker 2: that is crazy. So yeah, maybe even if that wasn't
Speaker 2: specific the reason and be impossible to nail that down, obviously,
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any difference. That's somebody at some point
Speaker 2: decided that's how many air traffic controllers we should have
Speaker 2: and how many we used to have right in the end.
Speaker 2: But again, even if that horrific tragedy hadn't occurred very
Speaker 2: very recently, it would still be an incredible problem that
Speaker 2: needed to be solved. I'd say, just outrageous. Well, I
Speaker 2: believe that played a role in some of those meltdowns
Speaker 2: over some of the holidays where we you know, the
Speaker 2: planes got all out of whack and backed up and
Speaker 2: everything like that, because the lack of air traffic controllers
Speaker 2: and being able to deal with the number of flights
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So just conveys in addition to safety. Well,
Speaker 2: I've heard fifty times we don't have enough air traffic controllers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: without pointing out the why. Now we're pointing out the why.
Speaker 2: I can't believe how off track we got and we
Speaker 2: all and we're gonna go another four years down that road.
Speaker 5: Whoa oe.
Speaker 2: As doctor Savage said many years ago, I'm paraphrasing, progressivism
Speaker 2: is a mental disorder. I want to start the show officially.
Speaker 2: Then I want to tease a couple of things that
Speaker 2: I think are really really interesting on on a Friday, Man,
Speaker 2: I have been sleeping so poorly this week. I got
Speaker 2: to get figured out. Oh me and my son both
Speaker 2: got off track where we're so tired that we went
Speaker 2: to bed super early. Couple nights ago. Well, we went
Speaker 2: to bed so early, we woke up in the middle
Speaker 2: of the night. But then you end up, you know,
Speaker 2: you get in a you get stuck in a loop
Speaker 2: there where then like yesterday, we went to bed really
Speaker 2: really early because we were so tired we could barely
Speaker 2: move around the house. But then we're up in the
Speaker 2: middle of the night again. Anyway, I'm laying there awake
Speaker 2: from like one thirty on. And when when are you
Speaker 2: sound asleep? Where when are you so deep asleep? It's
Speaker 2: like you're in a coma when your alarm goes off. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's just, it's just, it's just it's just tartarus, oh, melitonia,
Speaker 2: like you've been drugged and you just don't wake up.
Speaker 2: It's the worst I feel. Yeah, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Speaker 2: Joe Getting on this Friday, January thirty, first year, twenty
Speaker 2: five or Armstrong in getting. We approve of this program.
Speaker 2: All right, let's begin that officially according the FCC rules
Speaker 2: and regulations, the FCC a strict meritocracy. By the way,
Speaker 2: here we go proceeding at Mark.
Speaker 5: I chose to wait on my hepatitis B vaccine, and
Speaker 5: we did it when they went to schools. That made
Speaker 5: me an awful person? Does that make me an anti vaxxer?
Speaker 5: Because I questioned the government dictative whether I do it.
Speaker 5: And I'm not speaking for anybody else. I'm only speaking
Speaker 5: for myself. But for goodness sakes, let's have an honest
Speaker 5: debate about these things.
Speaker 2: Senator Ran Paul, You don't want him for a neighbor
Speaker 2: because he'll put your his long clippings on your lawn.
Speaker 2: But well, I know how to turn that around. That's
Speaker 2: a great rant yesterday about the hearings about vaccinations, about
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different stuff that we will feature
Speaker 2: later in the show, really really good, thought provoking stuff.
Speaker 2: I thought it was terrific, especially the last part. Whatever
Speaker 2: he's think about, you know, vaccines in the schedule and
Speaker 2: the rest of it. But he echoed the point that
Speaker 2: was made in that brilliant essay I was reading part
Speaker 2: of the other day that the only thing that really
Speaker 2: threatens us is not people getting something wrong. It's when
Speaker 2: we're forbidden from saying it's wrong, or questioning it or
Speaker 2: having an honest debate about it. That is when something
Speaker 2: is dangerous. So yeah, let's talk about all this. So
Speaker 2: I was just wondering those of you did dry January.
Speaker 2: It's the thirty first, you're gonna go ahead and not
Speaker 2: drink tonight. I would think if I liked to drink
Speaker 2: at all, I would think I made my point. It's Friday,
Speaker 2: gonna go Hendry. If you're not gonna drink to night
Speaker 2: for dry January, then you should get no credit for
Speaker 2: dry January. You're not really a drinker anyway, so look
Speaker 2: to do. That's like me. That's like me saying I
Speaker 2: did know yoga January and I stayed away from yoga
Speaker 2: the whole month for instance. Yeah, I see your point
Speaker 2: or I don't. I don't know if I agree with
Speaker 2: you. You're just you're doggedly going to finish it because you
Speaker 2: committed to it. God bless you. I think you made
Speaker 2: the point. Go ahead drinking before they got him. How
Speaker 2: does mailbag look? Oh, it's fine. Plus we have clips
Speaker 2: of the week in moments all on the way. Here's
Speaker 2: our text line four KFTC. I was playing around with
Speaker 2: the new Apple update that's got the AI in it,
Speaker 2: especially the stuff around the camera. Really interesting. Talk about
Speaker 2: that later if you haven't messed around with it yet.
Speaker 2: I have excuse me, I have not. Actually, it's fun,
Speaker 2: curious to know more, and it's a glimpse into the future. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm a guy who likes a nice three hundred page
Speaker 2: manual to come with every device. I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: like the idea that I've got to go seek out
Speaker 2: how to do stuff on the internet. Stuff like I'm
Speaker 2: never going to read a manual under any circumstances. Well, well,
Speaker 2: so we have a freedom loving quote of the day
Speaker 2: that's terrific coming up. Plus mailbag is excellent. But first
Speaker 2: let's take fun look back at the week. There was
Speaker 2: it's cal clips of the week? Yah yah, who whips
Speaker 2: of the week? I just saw Firebone. Then it was
Speaker 2: just gone who.
Speaker 5: Did not know what led to this crash, but we
Speaker 5: have some very strong opinions.
Speaker 4: How you can come to the conclusion right now the
Speaker 4: diversity has something to do with this crash, because I
Speaker 4: have common sense.
Speaker 5: One of the dumbest phrases in military.
Speaker 6: History is our diversity is our strengths.
Speaker 2: Our diversity is not our strength.
Speaker 5: Our unity and our shared purpose is our strength. Three
Speaker 5: tough Hearings Loom Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Pattel and RFK Junior.
Speaker 1: You may hear lies and smears in this hearing accusing
Speaker 1: me of being Trump's puppet, Putin's puppet, Assad's puppet, a
Speaker 1: Guru's puppet, Mody's puppet. Not recognizing the absurdity in.
Speaker 2: That threat, I was called a detestable scent.
Speaker 5: That's what was sent to me.
Speaker 2: You're asking me not to vaccine company one of all
Speaker 2: these onesies.
Speaker 5: I'm supportive of vaccines.
Speaker 2: You have velcrole in the cross. What's wrong with snaps?
Speaker 2: It is one piece of clothing that satisfies the needs
Speaker 2: of the entire baby. Are you in favor of this
Speaker 2: or not?
Speaker 1: You're getting the dirt banks off these streets.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Give me the authority to go into churches, going
Speaker 2: to school, the empowered law enforcement to enforce the law.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I appreciate I could do something that I don't know
Speaker 2: what to do.
Speaker 5: We got Quarterman Americans dead and fan off Crocross at
Speaker 5: Olden Border.
Speaker 2: Where's the tears for them? Tom Holman showed up in
Speaker 2: Chicago and within twenty four hours found a convicted sex offender.
Speaker 1: That that is their job, the federal jobs, not to kis.
Speaker 6: He's a huge problem.
Speaker 2: In our neighborhood, the noise, they contamination. We don't know
Speaker 2: these people, where they come from, if they have a
Speaker 2: criminal record. Son lost his mom.
Speaker 5: In the most unthinkable tragedy.
Speaker 2: This is never something to forget and we're trying to
Speaker 2: parent it.
Speaker 5: Very nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: I like to know what about sexual age of ratio.
Speaker 2: I see, I see. We'll sell you a one two
Speaker 2: musical bunch at the end of Cow. The most nominated
Speaker 2: movie for the Oscars is about a trans person, of course,
Speaker 2: and transgender cartel leader in Mexico. And it's got Selena
Speaker 2: Gomez and it features Mexico and the country of Mexico
Speaker 2: hates it. Yes, yes, they laughed at the dramatic parts
Speaker 2: we got. We gotta tell you that we're gonna play
Speaker 2: that song again too. It is the most egregious, hilarious
Speaker 2: oscar bait, virtue signaling movie gasm in the history of
Speaker 2: lefty Hollywood stupidity, unbelievable movie gasm. Here's your freedom loving
Speaker 2: quote of today from ancient Chinese philosopher Laotsu. I love
Speaker 2: this one, Jack, and you will too. I hope all
Speaker 2: you folks love it. If you do not change direction,
Speaker 2: you may end up where you are heading. Yeah, some
Speaker 2: of those are just so so simply true. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's so interesting that human beings need to be reminded
Speaker 2: of that sort of thing now. And yeah, I like
Speaker 2: the If you keep doing what you're doing, you're gonna
Speaker 2: keep getting what you're getting like that one. If something
Speaker 2: can't go on like this, it has to change, it
Speaker 2: will stop, or this can't go on forever, it won't,
Speaker 2: it will stop. Yeah, mailbag drops mail bag at Armstrong
Speaker 2: yetdy dot com right into it. I love this note
Speaker 2: from John. Diversity is an advantage. Unity is our strength.
Speaker 2: But the fact that we have a system under which
Speaker 2: diverse people can unite is our advantage over every single
Speaker 2: nation on Earth, where racial and ethnic divisions always cause
Speaker 2: violent tensions and conflict. Liberals must take the effect for
Speaker 2: the cause the unity of ideals, the American ideal, which
Speaker 2: brings diverse people together. Bringing diverse people together does not
Speaker 2: produce unity. Unity brings people together, I would agree. Plunging along,
Speaker 2: we received a number of amusing or troubling stories about
Speaker 2: school bus drivers in the wake of a tale we
Speaker 2: told the other day. This is my favorite Matt and
Speaker 2: beautiful Macomb, Illinois. When he was a young marine in
Speaker 2: the Northern Territory of Australia. He came across this headline
Speaker 2: in the local paper, Mates put rum in school bus
Speaker 2: driver's beer. Oh. Evidently having a beer as you make
Speaker 2: her rounds was perfectly normal in Australia in two thousand
Speaker 2: and one. But his buddies put rum into his beer
Speaker 2: and that was seen as a bad thing. Wow, two
Speaker 2: great tastes. It tastes great. Together. We had a lot
Speaker 2: more news to catch up on. I think it'll be
Speaker 2: a good show. I hope you can stick around if
Speaker 2: you missed a second in the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 2: ond bed Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: I vaccinated all my kids. I believe vaccines are one
Speaker 5: of the modern miracles. Beyond all Pale. The Speckled Monster
Speaker 5: is a great book about the introduction of the smallpox
Speaker 5: vaccine in seventeen twenty into our country. All miracles, But
Speaker 5: I'm not a one size fits all. It's not all
Speaker 5: or nothing. I chose to wait on my hepatitis bee
Speaker 5: vaccine and we did it when they went to schools.
Speaker 5: That make me an awful person? Does that make me
Speaker 5: an anti vaxxer? Because I questioned the government dictative whether
Speaker 5: I do it, and I'm not speaking for anybody else.
Speaker 5: I'm only speaking for myself. But for goodness, let's have
Speaker 5: an honest debate about these things.
Speaker 2: Ran Paul with pretty long rant during the hearings this week.
Speaker 2: A lot of we shouldn't call it a rant because
Speaker 2: that has a negative connotations. It's really really interesting and
Speaker 2: we're going to play more of it. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: appreciate it. One of our themes of late has been
Speaker 2: that the silencing of opposition is evil and almost always
Speaker 2: leads to evil, no matter the intentions, whether it's in
Speaker 2: COVID or you know. And that's part of Rand's you
Speaker 2: know speech here. So I'm not going to steal all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, but the term alone pro vacs are
Speaker 2: anti vax Which vaccine are we talking about? Why have
Speaker 2: an overall category of vaccines where they are all either
Speaker 2: bad or all good? That's nuts, Or any discussion of
Speaker 2: the schedule in which they're given, by which they're given
Speaker 2: or whatever is just that makes you an anti vaxxer.
Speaker 2: That was going to be my next point. The other
Speaker 2: trend that we've seen writ large, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's the Internet or it just always existed. Is
Speaker 2: that certain people, certain political parties, government officials have really
Speaker 2: taken to hanging labels on anybody who dares question anything,
Speaker 2: And by question, I mean, can we talk about this?
Speaker 2: Why are we doing this in this way? You're an
Speaker 2: anti whatever, or you're a puppet of whatever, you're a
Speaker 2: neocon or what have you. The discrediting you know, name
Speaker 2: that they paint on you just kindahired on a different
Speaker 2: topic I heard it presented. Is so crazy that this
Speaker 2: cash pateell a guy, a guy who's criticized the very
Speaker 2: organization he's hoping to run. What kind of world do
Speaker 2: you live in? Where you should that that's out of line? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What a strange world. It is all right, much to
Speaker 2: be said, But let's let the Randy man take it over. Michael.
Speaker 2: We'll just proceed on with the next clip.
Speaker 5: The COVID vaccine. If you ask me my opinion, they
Speaker 5: were a poor run mping down the sol and they
Speaker 5: say you still anti vaccine. No, I'm pro vaccine. But
Speaker 5: on the COVID vaccine and on the COVID illness, there
Speaker 5: was a thousandfold or more difference between the elderly and children.
Speaker 5: If you don't acknowledge that you're committing malpractice. You're showing
Speaker 5: your ignorance if you say a six month old must
Speaker 5: be mandated to get it. The science is not there.
Speaker 5: So all this blather about the science says this, and
Speaker 5: the science says that, No, it doesn't. The science actually
Speaker 5: shows it. No healthy child in America died from COVID.
Speaker 5: Look it up. No healthy child died from COVID.
Speaker 2: Not one, not a single one in the third biggest
Speaker 2: country in the world. And the kids were a far
Speaker 2: less dangerous vector of disease than virtually anybody else, and
Speaker 2: the schools remained close. Okay, don't get me started. Ah,
Speaker 2: I thought that was terrific. Let's go on.
Speaker 5: So if you asked me my advice as a physician,
Speaker 5: if you were sixty five or older, or overweight and
Speaker 5: some other conditions, I would have said, hell, yes, I'd
Speaker 5: take the COVID vaccine. The risks of the disease were
Speaker 5: real and much greater than the vaccine. But if you
Speaker 5: ask me, should my healthy six month old get it? See,
Speaker 5: these are the nuances you're unwilling to talk about because
Speaker 5: there's such a belief in submission. Submit to the government.
Speaker 5: Do what you're told. There is no discussion. There ought
Speaker 5: to be a debate. You're not going to let him
Speaker 5: have the debate because you're just going to criticize and
Speaker 5: say it is this and admit to it, or we're
Speaker 5: not going to appoint you. But it's more complicated than that.
Speaker 5: And this is why people distrust government, because you're unwilling
Speaker 5: to have these conversations. And I go home, ask your
Speaker 5: Democrat young mothers, your Republican young mothers if they're vaccinating
Speaker 5: their kid for appetitis B, and they're like, well, do
Speaker 5: I have to do it on day one? Is this
Speaker 5: precious little baby? Is there science to say you shouldn't
Speaker 5: do it? Probably not, But it's my kid.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: It's like there isn't clear cut science saying not to aughtit.
Speaker 2: The FED, Oh that's his dad. I think we cut
Speaker 2: out edited out somehow. Him making the point that hepatitis
Speaker 2: B is transmitted through drug use or sexual activity. You're
Speaker 2: saying almost certainly not sharing needles as a heroin user
Speaker 2: or engaging in sex. If they are, you're a bad parent. Exactly.
Speaker 2: You've got one wild child. Yeah, I wouldn't worry about
Speaker 2: the vaccine schedules. So much, you know, and the other
Speaker 2: great trend that just makes me insane, and I know
Speaker 2: it does to you too, Jack Is and Rand was
Speaker 2: referring to it there. I know I can hear the
Speaker 2: thinking of Fauci and company, Biden. If we're honest with
Speaker 2: people right about the vaccine or whatever, we'll get lower
Speaker 2: compliance and therefore more people will get sick and perhaps die. Therefore,
Speaker 2: we are doing them a favor by lying to them
Speaker 2: and grossly oversimplifying what's happening here. Sure, we're gonna tell
Speaker 2: pregnant women you can't have even a tiny drop of
Speaker 2: alcohol at all, science says, because if we tell them
Speaker 2: you can have one drink and it's healthy, it's okay,
Speaker 2: they'll take it too far. We don't trust people, so
Speaker 2: we'll exaggerate to get them do How has that worked out?
Speaker 2: It's I don't think it's worked. It's the sort of
Speaker 2: lesson in human beings either never learn or they have
Speaker 2: to learn over and over again. My answer to that is,
Speaker 2: you don't get to do that. That's a judgment you
Speaker 2: can't but you aren't allowed to make. Don't give me
Speaker 2: that s Tell me the truth and let the chips fall.
Speaker 2: It's it's the same sort of hubris that the sensors
Speaker 2: and quota fillers and DEI folks have no trust us
Speaker 2: with the power to be racist. Because we are so
Speaker 2: wise and benevolent, we will fix the problems of society
Speaker 2: using this terrible tool. No, you don't get to do
Speaker 2: that next clip.
Speaker 5: But on autism, there's no good science of anything to
Speaker 5: show what causes autism. We don't know. It's a profound disease.
Speaker 5: I know many moms here and dads who have kids
Speaker 5: with autis, know them personally, I've met their kids. But
Speaker 5: the thing is is they saw their kids developing completely normal,
Speaker 5: maybe making one hundred words go to no words at
Speaker 5: about fifteen months of age. Now, there isn't proof. There
Speaker 5: isn't proof that the vaccines cause it. That's true. There
Speaker 5: isn't proof that it calls it. But we don't know
Speaker 5: what causes it yet. So should we be at least
Speaker 5: open minded we take seventy two vaccines. Could it be?
Speaker 5: I don't know, But we shouldn't just close the door
Speaker 5: and say we're no longer because we believe so much
Speaker 5: in submission, we're not going to have an open mind
Speaker 5: to study these things. And so it's sort of this
Speaker 5: crazy notion.
Speaker 2: Well, every parent has dealt with that. I remember when
Speaker 2: I did, and then you just move on with your life.
Speaker 2: When you start getting your kid shots there at the
Speaker 2: hospital and there's so much going on and everything like that,
Speaker 2: it's the first week of having a baby and know
Speaker 2: everything like that, you don't research the dozens and dozens
Speaker 2: and dozens of inoculations your kid gets. I hope that
Speaker 2: you hope that they're they're right.
Speaker 5: Settle two.
Speaker 2: Is that that's the number that's floating around everywhere. That's
Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah, it absolutely is. You know the point
Speaker 2: Rand made that last screed that was a scientist talking
Speaker 2: and the idea that you leap to one side or
Speaker 2: the other and you're either in Eagles garb or Chief's garb,
Speaker 2: if you will, on a question that is a million
Speaker 2: miles from being decided. That's a bizarre way to approach signs.
Speaker 2: Keeping in defensible, Keeping in mind that you Eagles jersey wears.
Speaker 2: A lot of you were wearing Chiefs jerseys pre Trump
Speaker 2: when you were anti vaccine because you were convinced vaccines
Speaker 2: were causing autism. They're all liberals, Yeah, leading that charge
Speaker 2: so strange.
Speaker 5: Next, clip schizophrenia. I would put in the same notion.
Speaker 5: You have a kid who's completely normal to eighteen or
Speaker 5: nineteen and their brain goes heywire.
Speaker 2: How does that happen?
Speaker 5: It's the most bizarre disease. Shouldn't we be open Could
Speaker 5: it be our food? Might be vaccines, It might be
Speaker 5: our food. But autism is more common. I don't know
Speaker 5: about the schizophrenia statistics, but autisms more common. Should we
Speaker 5: want to be open minded? Instead, we're so close minded
Speaker 5: and we're so consensus driven that thus and says this. Well,
Speaker 5: science doesn't say anything. Science is a dispute, and ten
Speaker 5: years from now we could all be wrong.
Speaker 2: There's more on that theme.
Speaker 5: Twenty years ago, they did this enormous study and they
Speaker 5: said everybody over fifty should take an aspirin. I thought, well,
Speaker 5: that's a pretty good idea. It makes sense. But you
Speaker 5: know what, twenty years later they measured it and they
Speaker 5: found if you had no heart disease and you were
Speaker 5: taking aspen, your chance of dying from a brain bleed
Speaker 5: or from a stomach bleed were greater than the risk
Speaker 5: of heart disease. You have heart disease, they still say
Speaker 5: take an aspirin if you don't have changed your mind
Speaker 5: twenty years later. But would you have all said I
Speaker 5: was crazy and I should no longer be in public
Speaker 5: discourse if I had said twenty years ago, I don't
Speaker 5: feel like taking an asper. I ride my bike all
Speaker 5: the time. I'm afraid I might hit my head. But
Speaker 5: that's what country's about, what descent is about.
Speaker 2: Excellent example, right, right, Or your neighbor might tackle you
Speaker 2: over long clippings and you get a concussion. Finally, Oh again,
Speaker 2: that's his dad, that's his dad, Jack. Finally this So, just.
Speaker 5: As you look at the larger picture and give the
Speaker 5: guy break who says I just want to follow the
Speaker 5: science where it leads without presupposition, I think, really what
Speaker 5: we have up here is presupposition. You've already concluded it's
Speaker 5: absolute that autism isn't caused by we don't know what
Speaker 5: causes autism, so we should be more humble in what
Speaker 5: we say. Sorry, I didn't get to a question.
Speaker 2: One of the very few times that I find a
Speaker 2: rant to be you know, the juice worth the squeeze. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the end of that need not be to you, whoever
Speaker 2: you are. That Therefore, our FK. Junior is a perfect
Speaker 2: choice to run HHS, you know, given his conflicts of
Speaker 2: interest and stuff like that. I got some problems with
Speaker 2: the guy. So there's that too. But the Randyman's absolutely correct.
Speaker 2: We need to be more humble in the face of
Speaker 2: scientific uncertainty. I represent science. You were wrong about f
Speaker 2: thing everything you old gain of function promoting lying murderer. Yeah. Usually,
Speaker 2: like I was just talking about, you know, your kid
Speaker 2: gets all the jabs and you don't look into the however,
Speaker 2: many dozens and dozens of different jabs with the sciences
Speaker 2: on him. You just go with it on this one
Speaker 2: on COVID because it was such a giant cataclysm, the
Speaker 2: biggest non war disaster in non war non asteroid disaster
Speaker 2: in world history. So we you know, we hit more
Speaker 2: scrutiny around it, and it turns out, yeah, they were
Speaker 2: wrong about everything they told us. Dang dang, near everything
Speaker 2: was wrong, and so maybe you ought to be a
Speaker 2: little more skeptical when they start laying out all these
Speaker 2: guidelines and rules for whatever the hell it is before
Speaker 2: we uh just accept them as fact. I represent science.
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a little we had a little
Speaker 2: experiment here where we we we found out they're regularly wrong.
Speaker 2: Even people, some of them are not without motives. But
Speaker 2: even the people without motives, they can be wrong. They
Speaker 2: want to be right as much as you want to
Speaker 2: be right, but they're wrong a lot. It's just just
Speaker 2: the you know, the way the world works well. And
Speaker 2: I would like to sentence to a six month self
Speaker 2: examination camp anybody who said the lab leak theory was racist,
Speaker 2: for instance, or that asking hard questions of the Chinese
Speaker 2: government was somehow racist or might cause anti Chinese bias.
Speaker 2: You people are dangerous. Yeah, I hope we've come out
Speaker 2: of that period. Got a little more on that, and
Speaker 2: maybe we'll get to it later. I do want to
Speaker 2: talk about the new download for the Apple phone with
Speaker 2: the AI in it. H some interesting stuff. My son
Speaker 2: and I were doing it with yesterday, very fun I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's improved my texting or not. My
Speaker 2: son said, it's so much better. Texting is so much
Speaker 2: better now. It gets it right, way more offen and
Speaker 2: when it's guessing your word. Since that, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't funny. I just said less than twenty four
Speaker 2: hours ago to my beloved bride. Apple's voiced text is
Speaker 2: getting worse and worse. But who knows. My high school
Speaker 2: son said, Dad, literally nobody voiced text, but you literally nobody,
Speaker 2: I said, I think old people do. Maybe young people
Speaker 2: flying thumbs. They you know, they got the flying thumbs well.
Speaker 2: Plus they're terrified of speaking, and anybody's hearing the evans too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're doing it in class. Would be disruptive to
Speaker 2: the teacher. So you got it. Maybe that's where you
Speaker 2: get your practice. We've got Katie's headlines on the way
Speaker 2: weird in the football this weekend. I'd have gotten in
Speaker 2: a role of watching a game every a game or
Speaker 2: more every weekend and nothing this weekend Grammys Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I like the Grammys. Joe hates the Grammys, but no
Speaker 2: football til next weekend. I hate the awards part of
Speaker 2: the Grammys having a bunch of interesting music that you
Speaker 2: might not be aware of. I'm in favor of that.
Speaker 2: The ords are stupid. Let's figure out who's reporting what
Speaker 2: it's the lead story with Katie Green already starting with ABC.
Speaker 6: NTSB says preliminary investigation to take thirty days.
Speaker 2: Final report will take up to a year. I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna nail down the why do we have half
Speaker 2: as many air traffic controllers as we're supposed to have
Speaker 2: nationwide pretty quickly. I think that's going to be figured
Speaker 2: out much sooner than a year. And the airline pilots
Speaker 2: have been complaining about the helicopter traffic around Reagan for decades,
Speaker 2: saying it's really dangerous. You need to do something about.
Speaker 6: From CNN, Trump's cabinet nominees faced sharpest bipartisan grilling to date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tulsey Gabbard's on the ropes, especially cash Betel, flying colors,
Speaker 2: RFK coin flip.

Speaker 6: This is the DEI situation?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 6: President Trump's administration expanding its.
Speaker 2: Purge, root and branch, as they say, you know, just
Speaker 2: in general. I saw this graphy and Bremer put out
Speaker 2: on his Twitter feed about Trumping going to war with
Speaker 2: his own government or something like that was the headline
Speaker 2: from something. You can easily divide people into two camps.
Speaker 2: When you hear government employees are losing your job, you
Speaker 2: think yay, or you think, oh, that's terrible because I'm
Speaker 2: an immediate. Ya. When I hear government employees getting fired,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there could be some extrenuous factors
Speaker 2: that would change it. But my first emotion the shrinking
Speaker 2: of any government agency is all right. But I know
Speaker 2: people who's their first thought is all that's horrible. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's a quick, pretty big dividing line between kinds of people.
Speaker 2: Sit down, junior, let's talk about the deficit.
Speaker 6: From Fox News, Netan, Yahoo furious about chaotic handover of
Speaker 6: Israeli hostages from Hamas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to get into that a little bit later.
Speaker 2: Hamas has turned it into a we might kill you
Speaker 2: or we might not. All right, I guess we'll let
Speaker 2: you loose circus every time they turned hostages and touchdown
Speaker 2: dancing about having one and everything. Whoa, that's rough.
Speaker 6: From NBC unprecedented number of lithium ion batteries complicating LA
Speaker 6: wildfire cleanup.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they'd burn with the heat of the sun
Speaker 2: and take zillions of gallons of water to put out
Speaker 2: those fires.
Speaker 5: It's an issue.

Speaker 2: real revolutionary or shade Rivera with your tampons for men. Ok,
Speaker 2: this is the hill you're gonna die on? All right? Yeah? Wow,
Speaker 2: you're the new MLK. What was your tampons for dudes stance?
Speaker 2: Way to go farther than New York Post.
Speaker 6: South African woman has rescued more than twenty five hundred
Speaker 6: of the lovable quote clowns of the dog world. She's
Speaker 6: talking about pugs and at one point she had nineteen
Speaker 6: of them in her house.
Speaker 2: That seems like plentyof.
Speaker 6: And your meme of the day, it's a picture of
Speaker 6: a nice young woman and underneath it it says I'm
Speaker 6: thirty five.
Speaker 2: I have my whole life ahead of me.
Speaker 6: And the next to it is a picture of a
Speaker 6: sports broadcaster and it says, here comes the oldest player
Speaker 6: in the league.
Speaker 2: He's thirty two. A miracle. Yeah that is always where
Speaker 2: about watching sports the old man who's thirty six? Yeah whatever.
