Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong
and Jack and he.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Arms room from studio see sor it's.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
A dimly lit room, broom room deep with them to
keep bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Where
we've got our Hanka bingy up. Also, in addition to
the tree today, happy Honna cut everyone today, we're under
the tutelage of our general manager. Sweet vindication. Okay, who's
(01:01):
getting sweet vindication for what many conservatives. I'm looking at
the list of stories and sound and everything we've gotten ready,
and it includes all sorts of stuff. The fact that
Abigail Schreier, who wrote the absolutely wonderful book about the
transgender craze amongst adolescent girl's irreversible Damage, that she had
(01:23):
trouble getting published, had trouble getting distributed to hate mail,
death threats, blah blah blah. Everything she said is one
hundred percent correct. Amazon and even the New York Times
is saying so Amazon wouldn't carry it if I remember correctly.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
That is absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I see Ted Wheeler, who some irresponsible Wags pronounced
as Ted Weazel, the mayor of Portland for many moons,
now coming out and saying the Antifa things a nightmare,
the violence, that the threats, the political radicalism, how they
took over legit movements, and and and his shocked that
(01:57):
it wasn't a bigger story, but the Eastern media ignored,
so Ted has come around. There are a list of
stories like that, America's faith in their universities something we've
been talking about for a long time. Wait till you
hear about the catastrophic drop in the perception of America's
universities among America. Good all the crap we've been talking about.
(02:20):
And I realize this sounds self aggrandizing, but I think
I don't know. I think if you had any reasonable
sense of reality, you would have gotten there with us. Anyway,
All the stuff we've been talking about is one hundred
percent right. Well, I hope that matters after our alien
overlords takeover with the drone attack.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Too much perspective.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I just saw US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New Jersey
on TV. She's a US freaking senator who you would
think could get a lot of answers when she's calling
various people about her own state. She said, we don't
know if these drones are ours or belong to a
(03:02):
foreign entity. We don't know if they're a danger to
citizens or our government. We don't know anything. She just
said that a few minutes ago a sitting US senator. Yes, yes,
she's a bit of a midwiit, as the kids say today. Uh,
I don't think that's what you can't do with her,
(03:23):
with her, absolutely, ken, I think I can picture the
Intelligence services saying, all right, we need to briefe the Senate,
but not you know who. That is un flipping believable.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Right right, nobody knows what's going on, or nobody's letting on.
They know what.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'm not worried, I don't think. But it's weird, man,
it's weird. I'm worried on the same level that I'm
worried about how soft and entitled feeling we are as
a superpower. We don't understand the threat we're facing. I
don't think maybe in the you know, I would hope
(04:05):
the joy chiefs have an idea of it. I would
hope the White House has an idea of it. Well,
we'll probably play Joe Biden. He was asked about it
as he had the first time I've heard for Biden
in a long time, and man, he sounds old. But
we'll hear from Biden later he was asked about the drones.
It's just there's well, there's a lot more legal drones
(04:25):
up there now, and it's then a lot of copycats.
And he walked off to the So he had nothing
to say about it. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't know, though,
Oh my god. But so you're going to tell me
that there's something going on that's our government that they
don't tell us senators about when they're calling saying, hey,
(04:45):
we got drones over our airports? What the hell? I hope?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So, yeah, I hope that's the case.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, if it's seriously classified stuff that we can't let on,
you're not going to tell one hundred US senators. That
would be crazy to do that. Crazy, crazier than maybe
the highest security clearances on the Homeland Security Committee or
Defense Committee or something like that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, that's an untenable situation where you're gonna have I
contenant Pentagon projects going on around the country and US
senators not in the know at all. But it's been
going on for weeks and people all over the country
are talking about it. I mean, the endless speculation about it. Wow,
(05:33):
that'd be crazy. Why why can't someone come out and say, look,
nothing to worry about, trust me. Why can't anybody say that? Well,
I guess it's what me Orkis said the other day,
but he did the weird thing with the caveat. I
don't know what they are and there's nothing to worry about,
so that doesn't work. Order is secure, that's right, right. Oh,
(05:53):
that reminds me the uh PolitiFact, which is such a
joke of an organization saying their lie of the year.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Their political lie of the year.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Was that people are eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Leaving out the president is just great, and we'll serve
another term beautifully leaving that one out, and then the
border is secure now, I mean, come on, hilarious. Yeah,
that is a good one. We should start the show
officially before we get trouble with the FCC. We're all
(06:24):
wearing sana haat and we got missilete. Everybody's kissing everybody
constantly around here. It's an hr nightmare. Yeah, especially because
Michael and his welcome Santa t shirt misspelled it and
says welcome Satans. Oh that he about a discomfort and
some of our are religious. He bought a cheap Chinese
knockoff Santate shirt. Tala, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty
(06:48):
on this How did it already get to be? Oh?
It's a week from Christmas, Ladies and germs, December the eighteenth, Wednesday,
the year twenty twenty four, warm strong and getting we
approve of this program. It's a day from my wife's birthday,
and I swung in missed on a very important mission.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
The pressures hut.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
All right, here we go officially starting the show according
to FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Here we go at mark, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
General writer, So back to the drones. Can can you
equivocally say that none of the drones that are being
spotted are d d assets.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yes, they are not dood assets, None of them are
to my knowledge. Note okay, I just clamor right the
end the best part.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Play at the beginning of that audio again, would you?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Thanks? General writer? So back to the drones. Okay, So
he is a disciplined military man. When he goes, mmm,
that's a non military translation of oh, for God's sake, uh,
miss general. Back to the drones. Well, when they had
(07:58):
the committee meet about UFO is a while and they're
asking questions about that, was that was gronable and stupid?
This is definitely not gronable and stupid. What the hell
is flying around our airports? Right? And if it's innocent,
let's let's nail it down completely. And here's what I
shared the flesh lobably not far as I know. Uh,
here's fleshing out what I was suggesting earlier about being
(08:19):
a flabby empire or a superpower that has no idea
of the risk organs? Do you Jack at this moment
believe if China sought to, they could shut down the
power grid in two or more American cities, right, Absolutely
they could. I agree, I agree completely. What percentage of
Americans know that? What percentage are national security apparatus is
aware of that working on it hard? I don't know,
(08:40):
probably much more than I'm aware of. Obviously I'm not
briefed on a regular basis, but I see so many
signs of this, as if we're stoned, we're lotus eaters.
Somebody reminded me that that's from Homer. I don't know,
not Simpson, but don't I don't know lotus eaters. Yeah,
(09:02):
it's it's a people who just set around eating this
intoxicating plant thingy and we're just dreamy and unaware and ah. Essentially,
I just I feel like we're a little bit high
on our own success as a superpower, have no idea
that the barbarians are at the proverbial gate back to
the drugs. Yeah, I I mentioned this a lot, but
(09:24):
I was thinking about it watching the news coverage as
they uncovered yet another mass grave in Syria. Just I
mean horrifying what has been going on in that country
for over half a century. And how easily without the
United States to keep the world order, that could be
the whole planet. I mean that that is, that is
(09:45):
more likely a situation for humankind than what we've got now. Yeah,
and the United States is the main thing keeping that.
China doesn't care if countries are like that. If China
becomes the dominant power on Earth and we can't stop them,
they don't care. If they're Syrias in the world, doesn't
matter that as long as they're doing business with China
(10:07):
and do what China wants. They don't care if there's
serious and eventually the whole planet could be like that,
mass graves, interrogation, people disappear in the middle of night,
absolut freaking lily, and I just wish that the morons
of the well the United States to start there. Morons
in the United States, a lot of college kids, a
lot of college professors who think the world is bad
(10:28):
because of us. It makes me insane, Yeah, that they
don't have the other perspective. And then you've got the
nut job right that believes that the US is an
evil presence as well, and we need to turn to
vlad Putin or whatever else for an example of how
to run things.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Sure, madness.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, although I think the left in terms of numbers
and influence are a thousand times bigger than the cuckoo
nuts on the right.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I just am aware of them as a man of
the right myself.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I was watching some of the chanters outside of the
jailhouse in Pennsylvania where Luigi's being held, and they are
chanting free Luigi, Free Luigi. More dead CEOs with their signs.
I don't know how many people are into that, but
you got to round those people up and put them
in a camp in the name of individual rights. Sorry,
(11:19):
how does mail bag look? It's coming together. It's a
work in progress, it is, it is. Indeed, it's like
it's like the banana. It hasn't been taped to the
wall yet, but it's ready.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's like AI. It could be a blessing, it could
be a disaster. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Wow, So we got that on the way. We also
have this a text line if you'd like to join
in anything we've already said or might say text line
four one, five, two nine five kftc ring ting tangle
and two rights. If you want the latest on the
debate over the continuing Resolution and whether or not there's
(11:58):
going to be a government shutdown, you need a different
radio show because I am not talking about that.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Oh no, Michael, I had an hour and a half
ready on the fiscal cliff.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's a shame.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
The fiscal cliff disappointing.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We did get this text though yesterday's OMT was one
for the record books. That'd be the one more Thing podcast,
the extra segment we cut after we get off the air.
I would like to disavow that podcast. You all had me,
Actually you had me laughing out loud several times. Michael's
toes ha ha ha, that's a tease. Oh no, for
the One More Thing podcast. If you haven't checked, where
(12:32):
do you find arms Armstrong and Getty One more Thing?
Wherever you like to get podcasts, you ought to subscribe
to that in Armstrong and Giddy on demand. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. Jeff in Hogsnaville, Tennessee
has got a great eye for a course of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Ship.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This one along is from Margaret Thatcher, the great Maggie quote.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You can't make people good, kind, generous, thoughtful, or dutiful
by compulsion. True harmony comes from the willing cooperation of
free people. It is not served by an over rakelated society.
Oh I got something on that. Friend of ours who
works in the NBA sent me a video from the
(13:09):
National Anthem last night. We'll talk about that later. Oh
do tell yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mail Bag.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You can correspond mail Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot
com if you'd like. Let's see first of all this
from serious numbers Jack. Here's the way I remember how
to keep the trans thing straight. Trans is a prefix
that stands for not a so a trans woman is
not a woman. Trans man is not a man. It
(13:38):
is kind of handy. Hmmm, uh, Canton a similar attack.
I understand Jack's confusion when trying to describe a transperson.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I have a similar struggle.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I can't remember the difference between someone who is gay
and someone who is blind. Now, which one is attracted
to someone of the same gender and which one.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Is unable to see? I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Ken.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That is a very funny and obscure and old reference.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
You have it, Michael. It's it's too good not to
It's too good. It's for Christmas. Was I give it
to us for Christmas? I think it was our clip
of the year, like ten years ago or something. We're
going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayor, who climbed the highest
mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay, I
(14:20):
mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear
about that from me as the break. I look, which
one has the guide dog gay people?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Which one is that? Being blind?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Easy?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
He had to trust the line.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Somebody sent me a picture the other day currently they
saw a giant billboard that aired Eric Wyan Mayor on
it and said climbed Mount Everest. Blind. Yeah, so still
a thing I can't send. They say he's a picture
saying or gay. We're going to interview Eric Wyan, mayor
(14:59):
highest in the world Mount Ever.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Surprisingly he's gay.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear about that.
I mean, look at the six Oh my god, one
of the al timers. Wow, let's see. Moving along with mailbag.
This is from Rob. This past May, we spent a
week in Whitefish, Montana during the marathon. First thing we
noticed was the lack of bums and junkies on the street. So,
(15:24):
walking around town during the race, stopped to talk to
a couple of younger police officers doing street control Bubba,
I complimented them on how nice the city was mentioned
we noticed the lack of bums and junkies. Asked what
they thought the reason was. At first they said, well,
climate's part of it. One of the officers was familiar
with the Mount Shast area, and I pointed out this
similar climate and that both Mount Shasta and Wyrika have
(15:45):
large bum camps California place, having been there not too
long ago. Then one of them said, well, not to
sound bad, but people here are different. He's then said
that they had recently opened their first shelter, which ironically
was about to be closed due to public outcry because,
wait for it, a drastic increase in crime in the
area surrounding the shelter. It's as if it's not people
(16:07):
who are one paycheck short of making rent jack, it's
as if it's bums and junkies. Yeah. NPR had big
feature on this. They said, Montana's got the fastest scoring
homeless population in America, and cities around towns there aren't
really cities in Montana. Towns around Montana are shutting their
shelters that they were forced to open by that stupid
law for a while, shutting their shelters and there's no
(16:29):
place for the homeless to go. But local residents say
the shelters are actually increasing the homeless population. I thought, yes,
that's the problem. All your so called solutions, you end
up with more homeless people. We had vowed not to
use the term homeless people. That's not going well. Maybe
that'll transient drug addicts tea. That'll be our New Year's resolution.
(16:51):
Alnanimous rights on that topic. Just wanted to add to
the discussion of overdoses being the most common cause of
death in the workplace in California. The hospital I work
at is a few miles away from the Fremont Tesla plant.
We have multiple Tesla employees be brought in bi ambulance.
Student overdose sometimes resulting in death. Hasn't happened a while.
It used to happen at least every other months. It's
got to be like we heard yesterday, you think you're
(17:14):
taking a pain pill or something and you die. It
can't be getting high working on. I wouldn't think you
couldn't do agree that kind of job. We have a
lot more on the way if you know anything about it.
Texas Armstrong and Getty. That's right.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Christmas is almost here, which means in seven days you'll
be asking a gas station and attendant, can you get
wrapped these slim gems and put two dad on the cards.
I'll take one of those slingings act And this year
Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice Thanks to
those drones spying in New Jersey, everyone's in the holidays spirit.
President Biden has an advent calendar where each day is
(17:51):
a different mystery pill. I thought that was this one's lipator,
This one lipatory.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Wow, what a notch.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh my god, I would say, I've got the headline
of the day from the New York Post. Would you
like to hear the headline of the day.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I've got a pretty good headline myself.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'd like to. I'd like to. You're so proud of yours?
Go ahead, Oh the New York Post? Oh yeah, you probably.
This is a real story. I remember when it happened,
but it's an update. Ex meth user who gouged her
own eyeballs out while high, you went, says she's happier
(18:30):
years after Nightmarriash episode. It's a feel good ending to
the story, but unfortunately you have to recap the story,
and the recap is brutal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
South Carolina woman high on meth who for some reason
thought seeing was causing evil things to happen in the world,
she gouged her own eyes out and squished each one
of them between her fingers.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Oh, for the love of all that is holy.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
She is obviously blind, but she says she is in
a better place now and much happier, and it has
ended up being a positive in her life.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
She's blind, so she's attracted other women.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, I'm sorry, you know the headline I was going
to offer up much more wholesome and much more amusing.
It pays to have long hair and a beard.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
In Utah. Jesus models are in demand.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You can make a hell of a good living, especially
this time of year being a Jesus model in America's
most religious state. I don't have anything that you need
to be a Jesus model. You could be bewigged. I
could be a punctious pilot as I see him portrayed
in many shows. Oh wow, how angry faced bald guy.
(19:52):
More a niche act than Jesus in Utah. But anyway,
so I want to get into the following discussion with
a quick review of the recent years of Jay Badacharia's life.
Perhaps you recognize the name. He was the Stanford scientist
who well, we'll tell you about it. He's a very
(20:12):
respected scientist and epidemiologist, I think until October of twenty
twenty especially, but in it was actually March at twenty
twenty that Baticharia published. Well, he publicized his view of
(20:33):
how best to fight the pandemic, protect the vulnerable, the elderly,
and those with comorbidities, conduct frequent testing of nursing home
staff and visitors that would keep those folks safe for
everyone else, especially the young. The advised eliminating restrictions that
were silly, like shutting down sporting events, deeply harmful, closing
(20:54):
schools are economically disastrous, like lockdowns. To quote the Free Press,
they called it focused pret de and in October, doctor
j and his colleagues, one from Harvard who got fired
for refusing the JAB, published what was known as the
Great Barrington Declaration. What followed was a full on assault
on Batacaria's character and career. And I'm not going to
(21:17):
go through the whole thing. But Francis Collins, the head
of the National Institute's Health, wrote in an email to
Anthony Fauci that the declaration seemed to quote be getting
a lot of attention.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
There needs to be a.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. He described
Battacharian his two colleagues as fringe epidemiologists, and Bodacharia mentioned
some of my colleagues at Stanford wrote me letters basically
disowning me.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It got really nasty. Oh just you know, I'm going
to leap ahead here.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Every single damn thing they said in the Great Barrington
Declaration was one hundred percent correct. They got it exactly
right and were ruined for it. The New York Times
spoke to scientists who described Botachari as essentially a crank.
Anthony Fauci told the paper that the Great Barrington Declaration
was total nonsense. Rachel Wlenski, then an infectious disease expert
(22:07):
at Harvard, later the head of CDC, he said, I
think it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I think it's unsafe.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I think it invites people to act in ways that
have the potential to do enormous amounts of harm. The
Guardian labeled it a product of bad science co opted
by shady ideological interests, and so on. Then act Twitter
silenced Baticharia, censored a video of a public policy roundtable
with Ron DeSantis because the Sanford scientist suggested correctly that
(22:34):
the scientific evidence from masking children was weak. So Big
tech as Facebook read it all censored, even mentioning the
Great Barrington Declaration. At the urging of the Biden administration,
I'll stop now on this because there's more, and I
get so freaking fired up.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
They will write about everything for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Today I'm instead of being Madam frightened by something else
happening in the future, where we have a similar lack
of willingness to debate what's right now that's wrong? Well,
and exactly That's why I'm bringing this up. This sort
of thing will happen again, in one form or another. Now,
(23:20):
maybe it's in our lives, maybe it's not. I would
like very much for me and you and everybody listening
to be reminded of how wrong the authorities were and
how forceful they were in forcing you to do the
wrong thing. Arresting the ski guy at Malibu whatever you
(23:42):
call it, did you see? I almost said waterboarding, but
I know that's not the term. What do you call that?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
The parasailing, sail gliding, surf womping.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't know, did you see? I don't think i'd
ever seen this. So this was the same area LA
where they were. The cops are running down the beach
so they could arrest the guy who was when serving
when he came in, I mean crazy, but right there
where the big skateboard park is there on Venice Beach
where I take my son and we watch people do
the amazing tricks I had. I don't know if I'd
ever seen the video of the front loaders dumping sand
(24:14):
into the skateboard park to keep people from using it.
How insane is that to make sure kids could not
go outside and play during a disease that was your
biggest concern. Somebody might come skateboard outside. Well park next
to my house had yellow tape around it. It that's
(24:35):
coronavirus and you can so not if you tried so.
The COVID Seleuckt Committee has, at the end of the
two year investigation, issued a five hundred plus page final
report on the lessons learned in the path forward. And
I just thought it would it would be useful to
go through this fairly briefly to remind ourselves of what
it was like, because so many people want to put
it in the past. Number one COVID origin COVID nineteen
(24:58):
mostly emerged from a most likely emerged from a laboratory
in Wuhan, China, And they make five arguments in favor
of the Lablik theory, and they are they're practically ironclad.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
I won't go into the details. I don't think we
need to.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
The proximal origin publication, which was used repeatedly by public
health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak
theory was prompted by doctor Fauci to push the preferred
narrative that COVID nineteen originated in nature. Why can you
conceive of a reason an American health official would push,
(25:34):
in the face of all reasonableness, a report that said,
no way, it was a lab leak, it had to
be in nature. Well, maybe it's he and his buddies
were financing the research, you think. Then they go into
the gain of function research and who was paying for
it in Peter Dazak and Eco health and American taxpayer
dollars and the rest of it. It is fully documented.
(25:57):
There is no question at this point that that is
care and then the NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing
potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious
threat to both public health and national security. On to that,
the efficacy, effectiveness, and transparency of the use of taxpayer
funds and relief programs to address the coronavirus pandemic, including
(26:19):
any reports of waste, fraud or abuse COVID nineteen relief funding.
Federal and state governments had significant lapses in coordination, were
unprepared to oversee the allocation of COVID nineteen relief funds
and failed to sufficiently identify waste, fraud, and abuse taxpayer
dollars during the pandemic, and they go through the PPP
program at least sixty four billion dollars of theft, the
(26:39):
fraudulent unemployment claims at least one hundred and ninety one
billion dollars by taking advantage to the federal government's unemployment
system SBA failure small business administration at least two hundred
million dollars lost, and at least half of those taxpayer
dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stole by
(27:00):
international fraudsters. I mean, if they're stolen by domestic criminals,
at least they'd go down to the local car that
they learned by a luxury car, and you know, help
the economy.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's foreign mobsters and criminals and scumbags. It's hard to get.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
It's hard to think about that period for me, and
I don't even know what that emotion exactly is. And
explains why the nineteen eighteen pandemic was kept not a
secret on purpose, just nobody discussed it for like seventy
five years. It's just I don't like to think about it.
(27:38):
It was such a dark, weird period. Even though I
didn't do much different my kids being out of school,
everything closed down the weirdness of life. It oohs me
out to even really like really go there. Yeah interesting now,
I who lived in a conservative county and we just
went on with our lives.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Mostly it wasn't quite weird.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But anyway, I want to to kids, if your kids
had been out of school, it was it was really tough. Oh,
it was really tough, senior kids not in school and
wondering the damage it was done every single day. That
was awful. All right, I tell you what we're gonna
have to I don't there's too much and I don't
want to rush through it because I am. I want
to do this because for a number of reasons. Number one,
(28:27):
we can be prepared for the next time, but also
because they were horrendous, horrific. Injustice is done, and like
you said, you know, like the nineteen eighteen flu, it's like,
I don't want to bring anybody to justice because then
I'd have to think about it, and I just we've
got to resist that because they go into the who
and how it ran interference for the Chinese communists, the
(28:50):
social distancing, the mask mandates. The firing are active duty
service personnel who are young and healthy for not getting
the JAB, even even those who'd had it and had
natural immunity.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
You can't forgive that crap.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That's insane, all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Right, quick word from our friends at Omaha Steaks. Don't
tell anybody. Just was on Omaha stakes dot com ordering
a gift for my dad.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Fabulous quality steaks and a great deal of other stuff
at Omaha Steaks. And it is the perfect gift for
that loved one who doesn't need more stuff. Yeah. I
don't know how they pull it off, the quality of
the meat and then the being able to ship it
to you. You freeze it and then you thought, and
it is still so good. But it's the best burgers
I've ever had, best steaks, hot dogs, all this different
(29:38):
sort of stuff anyway, right now fifty percent off site
wide at Omaha Steaks dot Com. Plus score an extra
thirty dollars off with the promo code Armstrong Apple Tartlets. Man,
it's all about the apple tartlet's. Omaha Steaks dot Com
fifty percent off site wide Plus you good folks getting
extra thirty dollars off with that promo code Armstrong. They
have modest packages, they have very elaborate packages. You can
(30:02):
give this to a family certainly, and oh man, they
would have feasts and they would think of you.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
You would be the founder of the feast.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
To quote a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Omaha Steaks
dot com and use that promo code Armstrong. You Now,
I'm just gonna read the WHO part the World Health Organization. Remember,
we'd all be better off if we let the UN
run everything. We need world global governance to bring climate
(30:32):
change under control. Here's the very brief summary paragraph WHO.
The who's response to the COVID nineteen pandemic was an
abject failure because it came to pressure from the Chinese
Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its
international duties. Further, the who's newest effort to solve the
problems exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pandemic via a pandemic
(30:55):
treaty may harm the United States. That was obvious at
the time. Some of this stuff wasn't as obvious at
the time that one was obvious at the time because
we talked about it regularly. China was going out of
its way to stonewall anybody investigating this, and it was
all known at the time. And then remember figuring out
who with the who was from what town where China
(31:17):
had big contracts and all that sort of stuff. It
was obvious what was going on. Sure, yeah, social distancing
six feet apart was a guess complete. As even Fauci said,
it just sort of appeared. Mask mandates no conclusive evidence
that the mask effectively protected Americans from COVID. Nineteen public
health officials flip flopped on the efficacy of masks without
providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust,
(31:41):
a massive and appropriate uptick. But think about that. You
were on a restaurant, concert venue, whatever it was. You
were limited in the number of people customers you could
have in there, so money you could make because of
the six foot rule that was completely made up. Next hour,
we're gonna kick it off with lockdowns. Fantastic Katie's headlines
on the way next to here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Jesus does not like syncopation. Jesus likes the ones and threes.
Good solid beat. Wow, not even a back beat. This
offbeat leads to dr is what it does. It's a
gateway beat. Hey, we're running late. Let's figure out who's
(32:28):
reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie
starting with ABC News fact check.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Drones were not tracking missive missing radioactive material.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
In New Jersey. Yes, you got a New Jersey mayor
saying there's missing radioactivity. Other people saying though they're not.
I mean there's way too much craziness coming out of
actual government officials. Yeah, it's and wild business insider.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
North Korean soldiers attacked Russian forces by mistake due a
language barrier.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, I saw that friendly fire thing. I hope they
were successful.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
From Bloomberg, the five hundred billion dollar man Elon Musk,
wealth nearly double.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Of Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
He's a well see fellow.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That Musk got some eat the billionaire's stuff from a
variety of numb nut socialist people in the Democratic Party
to talk about later. From CNBC.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Walmart employees are now wearing body cameras in some stores.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Wow, for their own safety.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Oh my belligerent nut job entitled shoppers. Things might get ugly.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yes, have a record. That just makes sense. This is
the way all societies go, where you all of a
sudden have to lock up everything, even though for a
thousand years you didn't have to lock everything up, and
now you have to wear body cameras at the store.
There's nothing to be concerned about here.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
We had civilisation and we gave it away. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
From International Business News real estate platform to show neighborhoods
political leanings to prospective home buyers.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Oh my god, I suppose it makes I suppose that
makes sense. I mean, if the first question on online
dating is are you Harris or Trump? Before you even
consider dating, I suppose the neighborhood you're going to move to,
you wonder the same thing. You know, this is why
God grants you the sweet, sweet gift of mortality, The
idea that we're going to double down on all these
(34:34):
trends and reinforce them. Ugh, I'm checking out. No, that
is not a cry for help. I do have a
neighbor who still has their thank you Joe flag up
in their front yard. Though. Oh that's precious. Oh man,
thank you Joe for pretending not to be seen off.
Can you imagine if he had won the if he
had stayed the candidate and won, and he'd be some
(34:55):
drooling and all mummified. Imagine the constitutional crisis we'd be
in right now. People would need to do well with
the prostitution. That's right. The press might finally wake up
and be demanding are you going to resign? Or are
you going to be sworn in? Or are you going
to resign? It'd be a crisis. I want to throw
this into the running for the headline of the day.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Sports Illustrated Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he prefers squirrel
over raccoon when it comes to gaming.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Meals all right. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Had squirrel,
I don't think I had raccoon.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
From Entertainment's Night, Tom Cruise received surprising US Navy's top
civilian honor. I saw that they're saying that a lot
of people joined the military because the top gun.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
I could see how it was a good recruiting tool.
I don't know. I just I'm not digging the whole
actor gets whatever. Yeah, I agree, but he's never said
an unkind word about our military or anything like that. Hey,
if the Navy thinks that's appropriate. Your meme of the day.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's a guy sound asleep in bed and it says
government respond to unknown drones. And then underneath it, it's
a picture of a guy running into a fire and
it says government response.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
To rescued squirrels. That's a good one. Yeah, squirrel had
to be dealt with immediately and executed. My god, the
threat to humanity drones, I don't know. I'll figure out sometimes.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Biden calls for new gun laws.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
He can pardon his son for breaking Wow. Wow, that's
well said. Yeah, the cry for gun laws. Y'all's prosecutors
won't prosecute people who violate gun laws.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
You missing out? Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
the Man, Good Stuff Our two Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong
and Jack and he.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Arms room from studio see sor it's.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
A dimly lit room, broom room deep with them to
keep bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Where
we've got our Hanka bingy up. Also, in addition to
the tree today, happy Honna cut everyone today, we're under
the tutelage of our general manager. Sweet vindication. Okay, who's
(01:01):
getting sweet vindication for what many conservatives. I'm looking at
the list of stories and sound and everything we've gotten ready,
and it includes all sorts of stuff. The fact that
Abigail Schreier, who wrote the absolutely wonderful book about the
transgender craze amongst adolescent girl's irreversible Damage, that she had
(01:23):
trouble getting published, had trouble getting distributed to hate mail,
death threats, blah blah blah. Everything she said is one
hundred percent correct. Amazon and even the New York Times
is saying so Amazon wouldn't carry it if I remember correctly.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
That is absolutely correct.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I see Ted Wheeler, who some irresponsible Wags pronounced
as Ted Weazel, the mayor of Portland for many moons,
now coming out and saying the Antifa things a nightmare,
the violence, that the threats, the political radicalism, how they
took over legit movements, and and and his shocked that
(01:57):
it wasn't a bigger story, but the Eastern media ignored,
so Ted has come around. There are a list of
stories like that, America's faith in their universities something we've
been talking about for a long time. Wait till you
hear about the catastrophic drop in the perception of America's
universities among America. Good all the crap we've been talking about.
(02:20):
And I realize this sounds self aggrandizing, but I think
I don't know. I think if you had any reasonable
sense of reality, you would have gotten there with us. Anyway,
All the stuff we've been talking about is one hundred
percent right. Well, I hope that matters after our alien
overlords takeover with the drone attack.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Too much perspective.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I just saw US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New Jersey
on TV. She's a US freaking senator who you would
think could get a lot of answers when she's calling
various people about her own state. She said, we don't
know if these drones are ours or belong to a
(03:02):
foreign entity. We don't know if they're a danger to
citizens or our government. We don't know anything. She just
said that a few minutes ago a sitting US senator. Yes, yes,
she's a bit of a midwiit, as the kids say today. Uh,
I don't think that's what you can't do with her,
(03:23):
with her, absolutely, ken, I think I can picture the
Intelligence services saying, all right, we need to briefe the Senate,
but not you know who. That is un flipping believable.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Right right, nobody knows what's going on, or nobody's letting on.
They know what.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'm not worried, I don't think. But it's weird, man,
it's weird. I'm worried on the same level that I'm
worried about how soft and entitled feeling we are as
a superpower. We don't understand the threat we're facing. I
don't think maybe in the you know, I would hope
(04:05):
the joy chiefs have an idea of it. I would
hope the White House has an idea of it. Well,
we'll probably play Joe Biden. He was asked about it
as he had the first time I've heard for Biden
in a long time, and man, he sounds old. But
we'll hear from Biden later he was asked about the drones.
It's just there's well, there's a lot more legal drones
(04:25):
up there now, and it's then a lot of copycats.
And he walked off to the So he had nothing
to say about it. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't know, though,
Oh my god. But so you're going to tell me
that there's something going on that's our government that they
don't tell us senators about when they're calling saying, hey,
(04:45):
we got drones over our airports? What the hell? I hope?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So, yeah, I hope that's the case.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, if it's seriously classified stuff that we can't let on,
you're not going to tell one hundred US senators. That
would be crazy to do that. Crazy, crazier than maybe
the highest security clearances on the Homeland Security Committee or
Defense Committee or something like that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Maybe.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, that's an untenable situation where you're gonna have I
contenant Pentagon projects going on around the country and US
senators not in the know at all. But it's been
going on for weeks and people all over the country
are talking about it. I mean, the endless speculation about it. Wow,
(05:33):
that'd be crazy. Why why can't someone come out and say, look,
nothing to worry about, trust me. Why can't anybody say that? Well,
I guess it's what me Orkis said the other day,
but he did the weird thing with the caveat. I
don't know what they are and there's nothing to worry about,
so that doesn't work. Order is secure, that's right, right. Oh,
(05:53):
that reminds me the uh PolitiFact, which is such a
joke of an organization saying their lie of the year.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Their political lie of the year.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Was that people are eating the pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Leaving out the president is just great, and we'll serve
another term beautifully leaving that one out, and then the
border is secure now, I mean, come on, hilarious. Yeah,
that is a good one. We should start the show
officially before we get trouble with the FCC. We're all
(06:24):
wearing sana haat and we got missilete. Everybody's kissing everybody
constantly around here. It's an hr nightmare. Yeah, especially because
Michael and his welcome Santa t shirt misspelled it and
says welcome Satans. Oh that he about a discomfort and
some of our are religious. He bought a cheap Chinese
knockoff Santate shirt. Tala, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty
(06:48):
on this How did it already get to be? Oh?
It's a week from Christmas, Ladies and germs, December the eighteenth, Wednesday,
the year twenty twenty four, warm strong and getting we
approve of this program. It's a day from my wife's birthday,
and I swung in missed on a very important mission.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
The pressures hut.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
All right, here we go officially starting the show according
to FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Here we go at mark, Thanks.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
General writer, So back to the drones. Can can you
equivocally say that none of the drones that are being
spotted are d d assets.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yes, they are not dood assets, None of them are
to my knowledge. Note okay, I just clamor right the
end the best part.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Play at the beginning of that audio again, would you?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Thanks? General writer? So back to the drones. Okay, So
he is a disciplined military man. When he goes, mmm,
that's a non military translation of oh, for God's sake, uh,
miss general. Back to the drones. Well, when they had
(07:58):
the committee meet about UFO is a while and they're
asking questions about that, was that was gronable and stupid?
This is definitely not gronable and stupid. What the hell
is flying around our airports? Right? And if it's innocent,
let's let's nail it down completely. And here's what I
shared the flesh lobably not far as I know. Uh,
here's fleshing out what I was suggesting earlier about being
(08:19):
a flabby empire or a superpower that has no idea
of the risk organs? Do you Jack at this moment
believe if China sought to, they could shut down the
power grid in two or more American cities, right, Absolutely
they could. I agree, I agree completely. What percentage of
Americans know that? What percentage are national security apparatus is
aware of that working on it hard? I don't know,
(08:40):
probably much more than I'm aware of. Obviously I'm not
briefed on a regular basis, but I see so many
signs of this, as if we're stoned, we're lotus eaters.
Somebody reminded me that that's from Homer. I don't know,
not Simpson, but don't I don't know lotus eaters. Yeah,
(09:02):
it's it's a people who just set around eating this
intoxicating plant thingy and we're just dreamy and unaware and ah. Essentially,
I just I feel like we're a little bit high
on our own success as a superpower, have no idea
that the barbarians are at the proverbial gate back to
the drugs. Yeah, I I mentioned this a lot, but
(09:24):
I was thinking about it watching the news coverage as
they uncovered yet another mass grave in Syria. Just I
mean horrifying what has been going on in that country
for over half a century. And how easily without the
United States to keep the world order, that could be
the whole planet. I mean that that is, that is
(09:45):
more likely a situation for humankind than what we've got now. Yeah,
and the United States is the main thing keeping that.
China doesn't care if countries are like that. If China
becomes the dominant power on Earth and we can't stop them,
they don't care. If they're Syrias in the world, doesn't
matter that as long as they're doing business with China
(10:07):
and do what China wants. They don't care if there's
serious and eventually the whole planet could be like that,
mass graves, interrogation, people disappear in the middle of night,
absolut freaking lily, and I just wish that the morons
of the well the United States to start there. Morons
in the United States, a lot of college kids, a
lot of college professors who think the world is bad
(10:28):
because of us. It makes me insane, Yeah, that they
don't have the other perspective. And then you've got the
nut job right that believes that the US is an
evil presence as well, and we need to turn to
vlad Putin or whatever else for an example of how
to run things.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Sure, madness.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, although I think the left in terms of numbers
and influence are a thousand times bigger than the cuckoo
nuts on the right.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I just am aware of them as a man of
the right myself.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I was watching some of the chanters outside of the
jailhouse in Pennsylvania where Luigi's being held, and they are
chanting free Luigi, Free Luigi. More dead CEOs with their signs.
I don't know how many people are into that, but
you got to round those people up and put them
in a camp in the name of individual rights. Sorry,
(11:19):
how does mail bag look? It's coming together. It's a
work in progress, it is, it is. Indeed, it's like
it's like the banana. It hasn't been taped to the
wall yet, but it's ready.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's like AI. It could be a blessing, it could
be a disaster. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Wow, So we got that on the way. We also
have this a text line if you'd like to join
in anything we've already said or might say text line
four one, five, two nine five kftc ring ting tangle
and two rights. If you want the latest on the
debate over the continuing Resolution and whether or not there's
(11:58):
going to be a government shutdown, you need a different
radio show because I am not talking about that.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Oh no, Michael, I had an hour and a half
ready on the fiscal cliff.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's a shame.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
The fiscal cliff disappointing.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We did get this text though yesterday's OMT was one
for the record books. That'd be the one more Thing podcast,
the extra segment we cut after we get off the air.
I would like to disavow that podcast. You all had me,
Actually you had me laughing out loud several times. Michael's
toes ha ha ha, that's a tease. Oh no, for
the One More Thing podcast. If you haven't checked, where
(12:32):
do you find arms Armstrong and Getty One more Thing?
Wherever you like to get podcasts, you ought to subscribe
to that in Armstrong and Giddy on demand. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. Jeff in Hogsnaville, Tennessee
has got a great eye for a course of the day.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Ship.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
This one along is from Margaret Thatcher, the great Maggie quote.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You can't make people good, kind, generous, thoughtful, or dutiful
by compulsion. True harmony comes from the willing cooperation of
free people. It is not served by an over rakelated society.
Oh I got something on that. Friend of ours who
works in the NBA sent me a video from the
(13:09):
National Anthem last night. We'll talk about that later. Oh
do tell yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mail Bag.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You can correspond mail Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot
com if you'd like. Let's see first of all this
from serious numbers Jack. Here's the way I remember how
to keep the trans thing straight. Trans is a prefix
that stands for not a so a trans woman is
not a woman. Trans man is not a man. It
(13:38):
is kind of handy. Hmmm, uh, Canton a similar attack.
I understand Jack's confusion when trying to describe a transperson.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I have a similar struggle.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I can't remember the difference between someone who is gay
and someone who is blind. Now, which one is attracted
to someone of the same gender and which one.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Is unable to see? I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Ken.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That is a very funny and obscure and old reference.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
You have it, Michael. It's it's too good not to
It's too good. It's for Christmas. Was I give it
to us for Christmas? I think it was our clip
of the year, like ten years ago or something. We're
going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayor, who climbed the highest
mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay, I
(14:20):
mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear
about that from me as the break. I look, which
one has the guide dog gay people?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Which one is that? Being blind?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Easy?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
He had to trust the line.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Somebody sent me a picture the other day currently they
saw a giant billboard that aired Eric Wyan Mayor on
it and said climbed Mount Everest. Blind. Yeah, so still
a thing I can't send. They say he's a picture
saying or gay. We're going to interview Eric Wyan, mayor
(14:59):
highest in the world Mount Ever.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Surprisingly he's gay.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, excuse me, he's blind. So we'll hear about that.
I mean, look at the six Oh my god, one
of the al timers. Wow, let's see. Moving along with mailbag.
This is from Rob. This past May, we spent a
week in Whitefish, Montana during the marathon. First thing we
noticed was the lack of bums and junkies on the street. So,
(15:24):
walking around town during the race, stopped to talk to
a couple of younger police officers doing street control Bubba,
I complimented them on how nice the city was mentioned
we noticed the lack of bums and junkies. Asked what
they thought the reason was. At first they said, well,
climate's part of it. One of the officers was familiar
with the Mount Shast area, and I pointed out this
similar climate and that both Mount Shasta and Wyrika have
(15:45):
large bum camps California place, having been there not too
long ago. Then one of them said, well, not to
sound bad, but people here are different. He's then said
that they had recently opened their first shelter, which ironically
was about to be closed due to public outcry because,
wait for it, a drastic increase in crime in the
area surrounding the shelter. It's as if it's not people
(16:07):
who are one paycheck short of making rent jack, it's
as if it's bums and junkies. Yeah. NPR had big
feature on this. They said, Montana's got the fastest scoring
homeless population in America, and cities around towns there aren't
really cities in Montana. Towns around Montana are shutting their
shelters that they were forced to open by that stupid
law for a while, shutting their shelters and there's no
(16:29):
place for the homeless to go. But local residents say
the shelters are actually increasing the homeless population. I thought, yes,
that's the problem. All your so called solutions, you end
up with more homeless people. We had vowed not to
use the term homeless people. That's not going well. Maybe
that'll transient drug addicts tea. That'll be our New Year's resolution.
(16:51):
Alnanimous rights on that topic. Just wanted to add to
the discussion of overdoses being the most common cause of
death in the workplace in California. The hospital I work
at is a few miles away from the Fremont Tesla plant.
We have multiple Tesla employees be brought in bi ambulance.
Student overdose sometimes resulting in death. Hasn't happened a while.
It used to happen at least every other months. It's
got to be like we heard yesterday, you think you're
(17:14):
taking a pain pill or something and you die. It
can't be getting high working on. I wouldn't think you
couldn't do agree that kind of job. We have a
lot more on the way if you know anything about it.
Texas Armstrong and Getty. That's right.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Christmas is almost here, which means in seven days you'll
be asking a gas station and attendant, can you get
wrapped these slim gems and put two dad on the cards.
I'll take one of those slingings act And this year
Santa really knows who's been naughty or nice Thanks to
those drones spying in New Jersey, everyone's in the holidays spirit.
President Biden has an advent calendar where each day is
(17:51):
a different mystery pill. I thought that was this one's lipator,
This one lipatory.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Wow, what a notch.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh my god, I would say, I've got the headline
of the day from the New York Post. Would you
like to hear the headline of the day.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I've got a pretty good headline myself.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'd like to. I'd like to. You're so proud of yours?
Go ahead, Oh the New York Post? Oh yeah, you probably.
This is a real story. I remember when it happened,
but it's an update. Ex meth user who gouged her
own eyeballs out while high, you went, says she's happier
(18:30):
years after Nightmarriash episode. It's a feel good ending to
the story, but unfortunately you have to recap the story,
and the recap is brutal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
South Carolina woman high on meth who for some reason
thought seeing was causing evil things to happen in the world,
she gouged her own eyes out and squished each one
of them between her fingers.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Oh, for the love of all that is holy.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
She is obviously blind, but she says she is in
a better place now and much happier, and it has
ended up being a positive in her life.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
She's blind, so she's attracted other women.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, I'm sorry, you know the headline I was going
to offer up much more wholesome and much more amusing.
It pays to have long hair and a beard.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
In Utah. Jesus models are in demand.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You can make a hell of a good living, especially
this time of year being a Jesus model in America's
most religious state. I don't have anything that you need
to be a Jesus model. You could be bewigged. I
could be a punctious pilot as I see him portrayed
in many shows. Oh wow, how angry faced bald guy.
(19:52):
More a niche act than Jesus in Utah. But anyway,
so I want to get into the following discussion with
a quick review of the recent years of Jay Badacharia's life.
Perhaps you recognize the name. He was the Stanford scientist
who well, we'll tell you about it. He's a very
(20:12):
respected scientist and epidemiologist, I think until October of twenty
twenty especially, but in it was actually March at twenty
twenty that Baticharia published. Well, he publicized his view of
(20:33):
how best to fight the pandemic, protect the vulnerable, the elderly,
and those with comorbidities, conduct frequent testing of nursing home
staff and visitors that would keep those folks safe for
everyone else, especially the young. The advised eliminating restrictions that
were silly, like shutting down sporting events, deeply harmful, closing
(20:54):
schools are economically disastrous, like lockdowns. To quote the Free Press,
they called it focused pret de and in October, doctor
j and his colleagues, one from Harvard who got fired
for refusing the JAB, published what was known as the
Great Barrington Declaration. What followed was a full on assault
on Batacaria's character and career. And I'm not going to
(21:17):
go through the whole thing. But Francis Collins, the head
of the National Institute's Health, wrote in an email to
Anthony Fauci that the declaration seemed to quote be getting
a lot of attention.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
There needs to be a.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. He described
Battacharian his two colleagues as fringe epidemiologists, and Bodacharia mentioned
some of my colleagues at Stanford wrote me letters basically
disowning me.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It got really nasty. Oh just you know, I'm going
to leap ahead here.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Every single damn thing they said in the Great Barrington
Declaration was one hundred percent correct. They got it exactly
right and were ruined for it. The New York Times
spoke to scientists who described Botachari as essentially a crank.
Anthony Fauci told the paper that the Great Barrington Declaration
was total nonsense. Rachel Wlenski, then an infectious disease expert
(22:07):
at Harvard, later the head of CDC, he said, I
think it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I think it's unsafe.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I think it invites people to act in ways that
have the potential to do enormous amounts of harm. The
Guardian labeled it a product of bad science co opted
by shady ideological interests, and so on. Then act Twitter
silenced Baticharia, censored a video of a public policy roundtable
with Ron DeSantis because the Sanford scientist suggested correctly that
(22:34):
the scientific evidence from masking children was weak. So Big
tech as Facebook read it all censored, even mentioning the
Great Barrington Declaration. At the urging of the Biden administration,
I'll stop now on this because there's more, and I
get so freaking fired up.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
They will write about everything for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Today I'm instead of being Madam frightened by something else
happening in the future, where we have a similar lack
of willingness to debate what's right now that's wrong? Well,
and exactly That's why I'm bringing this up. This sort
of thing will happen again, in one form or another. Now,
(23:20):
maybe it's in our lives, maybe it's not. I would
like very much for me and you and everybody listening
to be reminded of how wrong the authorities were and
how forceful they were in forcing you to do the
wrong thing. Arresting the ski guy at Malibu whatever you
(23:42):
call it, did you see? I almost said waterboarding, but
I know that's not the term. What do you call that?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
The parasailing, sail gliding, surf womping.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't know, did you see? I don't think i'd
ever seen this. So this was the same area LA
where they were. The cops are running down the beach
so they could arrest the guy who was when serving
when he came in, I mean crazy, but right there
where the big skateboard park is there on Venice Beach
where I take my son and we watch people do
the amazing tricks I had. I don't know if I'd
ever seen the video of the front loaders dumping sand
(24:14):
into the skateboard park to keep people from using it.
How insane is that to make sure kids could not
go outside and play during a disease that was your
biggest concern. Somebody might come skateboard outside. Well park next
to my house had yellow tape around it. It that's
(24:35):
coronavirus and you can so not if you tried so.
The COVID Seleuckt Committee has, at the end of the
two year investigation, issued a five hundred plus page final
report on the lessons learned in the path forward. And
I just thought it would it would be useful to
go through this fairly briefly to remind ourselves of what
it was like, because so many people want to put
it in the past. Number one COVID origin COVID nineteen
(24:58):
mostly emerged from a most likely emerged from a laboratory
in Wuhan, China, And they make five arguments in favor
of the Lablik theory, and they are they're practically ironclad.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
I won't go into the details. I don't think we
need to.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
The proximal origin publication, which was used repeatedly by public
health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak
theory was prompted by doctor Fauci to push the preferred
narrative that COVID nineteen originated in nature. Why can you
conceive of a reason an American health official would push,
(25:34):
in the face of all reasonableness, a report that said,
no way, it was a lab leak, it had to
be in nature. Well, maybe it's he and his buddies
were financing the research, you think. Then they go into
the gain of function research and who was paying for
it in Peter Dazak and Eco health and American taxpayer
dollars and the rest of it. It is fully documented.
(25:57):
There is no question at this point that that is
care and then the NIH's procedures for funding and overseeing
potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious
threat to both public health and national security. On to that,
the efficacy, effectiveness, and transparency of the use of taxpayer
funds and relief programs to address the coronavirus pandemic, including
(26:19):
any reports of waste, fraud or abuse COVID nineteen relief funding.
Federal and state governments had significant lapses in coordination, were
unprepared to oversee the allocation of COVID nineteen relief funds
and failed to sufficiently identify waste, fraud, and abuse taxpayer
dollars during the pandemic, and they go through the PPP
program at least sixty four billion dollars of theft, the
(26:39):
fraudulent unemployment claims at least one hundred and ninety one
billion dollars by taking advantage to the federal government's unemployment
system SBA failure small business administration at least two hundred
million dollars lost, and at least half of those taxpayer
dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stole by
(27:00):
international fraudsters. I mean, if they're stolen by domestic criminals,
at least they'd go down to the local car that
they learned by a luxury car, and you know, help
the economy.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's foreign mobsters and criminals and scumbags. It's hard to get.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
It's hard to think about that period for me, and
I don't even know what that emotion exactly is. And
explains why the nineteen eighteen pandemic was kept not a
secret on purpose, just nobody discussed it for like seventy
five years. It's just I don't like to think about it.
(27:38):
It was such a dark, weird period. Even though I
didn't do much different my kids being out of school,
everything closed down the weirdness of life. It oohs me
out to even really like really go there. Yeah interesting now,
I who lived in a conservative county and we just
went on with our lives.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Mostly it wasn't quite weird.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
But anyway, I want to to kids, if your kids
had been out of school, it was it was really tough. Oh,
it was really tough, senior kids not in school and
wondering the damage it was done every single day. That
was awful. All right, I tell you what we're gonna
have to I don't there's too much and I don't
want to rush through it because I am. I want
to do this because for a number of reasons. Number one,
(28:27):
we can be prepared for the next time, but also
because they were horrendous, horrific. Injustice is done, and like
you said, you know, like the nineteen eighteen flu, it's like,
I don't want to bring anybody to justice because then
I'd have to think about it, and I just we've
got to resist that because they go into the who
and how it ran interference for the Chinese communists, the
(28:50):
social distancing, the mask mandates. The firing are active duty
service personnel who are young and healthy for not getting
the JAB, even even those who'd had it and had
natural immunity.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
You can't forgive that crap.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That's insane, all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Right, quick word from our friends at Omaha Steaks. Don't
tell anybody. Just was on Omaha stakes dot com ordering
a gift for my dad.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Fabulous quality steaks and a great deal of other stuff
at Omaha Steaks. And it is the perfect gift for
that loved one who doesn't need more stuff. Yeah. I
don't know how they pull it off, the quality of
the meat and then the being able to ship it
to you. You freeze it and then you thought, and
it is still so good. But it's the best burgers
I've ever had, best steaks, hot dogs, all this different
(29:38):
sort of stuff anyway, right now fifty percent off site
wide at Omaha Steaks dot Com. Plus score an extra
thirty dollars off with the promo code Armstrong Apple Tartlets. Man,
it's all about the apple tartlet's. Omaha Steaks dot Com
fifty percent off site wide Plus you good folks getting
extra thirty dollars off with that promo code Armstrong. They
have modest packages, they have very elaborate packages. You can
(30:02):
give this to a family certainly, and oh man, they
would have feasts and they would think of you.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
You would be the founder of the feast.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
To quote a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Omaha Steaks
dot com and use that promo code Armstrong. You Now,
I'm just gonna read the WHO part the World Health Organization. Remember,
we'd all be better off if we let the UN
run everything. We need world global governance to bring climate
(30:32):
change under control. Here's the very brief summary paragraph WHO.
The who's response to the COVID nineteen pandemic was an
abject failure because it came to pressure from the Chinese
Communist Party and placed China's political interests ahead of its
international duties. Further, the who's newest effort to solve the
problems exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pandemic via a pandemic
(30:55):
treaty may harm the United States. That was obvious at
the time. Some of this stuff wasn't as obvious at
the time that one was obvious at the time because
we talked about it regularly. China was going out of
its way to stonewall anybody investigating this, and it was
all known at the time. And then remember figuring out
who with the who was from what town where China
(31:17):
had big contracts and all that sort of stuff. It
was obvious what was going on. Sure, yeah, social distancing
six feet apart was a guess complete. As even Fauci said,
it just sort of appeared. Mask mandates no conclusive evidence
that the mask effectively protected Americans from COVID. Nineteen public
health officials flip flopped on the efficacy of masks without
providing Americans scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust,
(31:41):
a massive and appropriate uptick. But think about that. You
were on a restaurant, concert venue, whatever it was. You
were limited in the number of people customers you could
have in there, so money you could make because of
the six foot rule that was completely made up. Next hour,
we're gonna kick it off with lockdowns. Fantastic Katie's headlines
on the way next to here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Jesus does not like syncopation. Jesus likes the ones and threes.
Good solid beat. Wow, not even a back beat. This
offbeat leads to dr is what it does. It's a
gateway beat. Hey, we're running late. Let's figure out who's
(32:28):
reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie
starting with ABC News fact check.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Drones were not tracking missive missing radioactive material.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
In New Jersey. Yes, you got a New Jersey mayor
saying there's missing radioactivity. Other people saying though they're not.
I mean there's way too much craziness coming out of
actual government officials. Yeah, it's and wild business insider.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
North Korean soldiers attacked Russian forces by mistake due a
language barrier.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah, I saw that friendly fire thing. I hope they
were successful.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
From Bloomberg, the five hundred billion dollar man Elon Musk,
wealth nearly double.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Of Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
He's a well see fellow.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That Musk got some eat the billionaire's stuff from a
variety of numb nut socialist people in the Democratic Party
to talk about later. From CNBC.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Walmart employees are now wearing body cameras in some stores.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Wow, for their own safety.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Oh my belligerent nut job entitled shoppers. Things might get ugly.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yes, have a record. That just makes sense. This is
the way all societies go, where you all of a
sudden have to lock up everything, even though for a
thousand years you didn't have to lock everything up, and
now you have to wear body cameras at the store.
There's nothing to be concerned about here.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
We had civilisation and we gave it away. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
From International Business News real estate platform to show neighborhoods
political leanings to prospective home buyers.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Oh my god, I suppose it makes I suppose that
makes sense. I mean, if the first question on online
dating is are you Harris or Trump? Before you even
consider dating, I suppose the neighborhood you're going to move to,
you wonder the same thing. You know, this is why
God grants you the sweet, sweet gift of mortality, The
idea that we're going to double down on all these
(34:34):
trends and reinforce them. Ugh, I'm checking out. No, that
is not a cry for help. I do have a
neighbor who still has their thank you Joe flag up
in their front yard. Though. Oh that's precious. Oh man,
thank you Joe for pretending not to be seen off.
Can you imagine if he had won the if he
had stayed the candidate and won, and he'd be some
(34:55):
drooling and all mummified. Imagine the constitutional crisis we'd be
in right now. People would need to do well with
the prostitution. That's right. The press might finally wake up
and be demanding are you going to resign? Or are
you going to be sworn in? Or are you going
to resign? It'd be a crisis. I want to throw
this into the running for the headline of the day.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Sports Illustrated Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he prefers squirrel
over raccoon when it comes to gaming.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Meals all right. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Had squirrel,
I don't think I had raccoon.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
From Entertainment's Night, Tom Cruise received surprising US Navy's top
civilian honor. I saw that they're saying that a lot
of people joined the military because the top gun.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
I could see how it was a good recruiting tool.
I don't know. I just I'm not digging the whole
actor gets whatever. Yeah, I agree, but he's never said
an unkind word about our military or anything like that. Hey,
if the Navy thinks that's appropriate. Your meme of the day.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's a guy sound asleep in bed and it says
government respond to unknown drones. And then underneath it, it's
a picture of a guy running into a fire and
it says government response.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
To rescued squirrels. That's a good one. Yeah, squirrel had
to be dealt with immediately and executed. My god, the
threat to humanity drones, I don't know. I'll figure out sometimes.
Speaker 7 (36:18):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Biden calls for new gun laws.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
He can pardon his son for breaking Wow. Wow, that's
well said. Yeah, the cry for gun laws. Y'all's prosecutors
won't prosecute people who violate gun laws.
