Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guys broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the
George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong and he Armstrong
and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Department of Transportation hitting Jet Blue this week with a
two million dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
DOT investigation found.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Jet Blue operated four chronically delayed flights on the East Coast,
arriving more than thirty minutes late more than half the
time for at least five straight months.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Wow. The fine, in.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Part, will go towards compensating Jeff Blue passengers already impacted
and those who see flight cancelations and lengthy delays in
the year to come. But Jet Blue says half of
the blame lies with the US government urging the incoming
administration to prioritize modernizing outdated ATC technology and a dressing
chronic air traffic controllers staffing shortages.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So the weather has been crazy the last couple of days.
I was in the midst of it in the Midwest,
and you can't blame the airlines when the weather is
that bad. I mean, there's no structure of travel that
wouldn't get disrupted heavily when you have historic snow, wind, cold,
that sort of thing, but in general, the airlines punish
(01:24):
us a lot with the I was amazed. I flew
a couple of different airlines and just the paying for
every single little thing. Now, so you book your ticket,
Oh that's just for a seat where like Cary, if
you have to, you're gonna have to sit with your
head bent like this. If you want your head to
be straight up and have room to have your head
straight up, you gotta pay an extra thirty nine dollars.
If you want your feet, you have to remove your
(01:47):
feet if you're in this seat, if you want to
actually have your feet, and then it's another fifty nine. Oh,
you want to have a bag. You're gonna travel with luggage.
Of course I'm traveling with luggage. I'm gonna travel across
the country with nothing. Well, if you're gonna have luggage,
then it's another this much money.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
It's just wow. Yes, it's like the going to a steakhouse.
Everything's all a car. Wait a minute's sixty three bucks.
It's just for the slab of meat.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And then I got I got screwed by a rental
car company. Also when I showed up to get my
vehicle and they said we don't. We don't have one
of those right now. What do you mean I was
about to set off on a cross country trip. What
do you mean you don't have it. I'm showed to
my email confirmation number. I'm supposed to show up at
this time. What does the word confirmation mean to you?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, we don't. That means that we should have the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
We understand you reserve the vehicle, but we don't have
the vehicle when it's busy like this, we don't always
have the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I said, what do you mean when it's busy like this?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Nothing in this email says that if you're busy, you
won't have my car.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It doesn't say that anywhere. I was really unhappy with that.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So it's a system that says, you know, we usually
have those cars. So yeah, let's promise this guy one.
It's like a specific car that they're going to have
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, can we put you in something else?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I don't want something else. Traveling across the country, I
have a lot of space. Well, we don't have that.
But again, what does confirmation mean? Tell me what confirmation
is here? I'll look it up in the dictionary for you.
But anyway, So I got into this discussion with my
family members about where I run into problems with my
whole libertarianism free market stuff. And I'm always will be
(03:19):
a free market guy as opposed to you know, state
run whatever. But it just seems like some industries. I
don't know if the barrier of entry is too difficult
airlines and rental car companies or what, but it seems
like a race to the bottom. Oh and a couple
of different was calling around see if I could get
a vehicle. The website, the attempting to talk to a
(03:41):
human being is just so horrible, and it's getting worse,
and there doesn't seem to be the normal market pressures
of trying to be better so that the other companies
would have to keep.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Up with you. This reminds me somewhat of your rants
about cheap Chinese crap flooding the country. I think a
lot more people want cheap crap than want to pay
more for quality. A lot of people are just price
driven when it comes to airline seats and rental cars,
and they just figure ouh, they all suck and they
(04:15):
chase the lowest price.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So if a company treated you better, which probably would
cost a little more. You think the majority of people
would not choose that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, they would go for the low ticket.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well that's disappointing then yeah, I just yeah, I'm not
saying I'm in favor of it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I just think it is.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
And getting back to the Jet Blue story, number one,
our air traffic control system is in dire need of
an upgrade, but it has no lobbyists to bribe politicians,
so it's not gonna happen. But the idea of finding
Jet Blue heavily for not being able to be on time.
They're already hemorrhging cares. They're constantly trying to merge with
somebody because they're going out of business. Finding them, they're like, okay, great,
(04:58):
we'll fire three or four more pilots, pay your fine.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Great, that'll make us on time on it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
It has a very The beatings will continue till the
morale improves field to it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Of course, I've never.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Flown Jet Blue because I'm not low ticket guy. Right,
I want a shoulder massage. I want a valure seatide
prefers ilk, but the lure will do.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
My brother, who's a fairly large guy, flew Spirit and
he said he couldn't feel his feet by the time
he lefted because he had his legs all twisted up
and pushed together.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And if you can't.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
What he doesn't realize is the full name of Spirit
Airlines is in parentheses, is we'll crush your Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It looks like the Prime Minister of Canada is resigning
and a weasel if he says anything interesting, good looking
weasel though.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
If he says anything interesting, we'll bring that to you.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
What's the short version of why he's resigning? People hate him?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah? Well, yeah, people hate him. He's a woke idiot
who's ruined Canada.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You ruined Canada? Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Get LGDP gt lbch LGBTQ two plush There he is there, Yeah,
the real Northern George Washington there.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Huh. How about that leadership about weasel? Oh geez, all right,
speaking of weasels in bad leadership, Joe Biden is soon
to be the former president. I appreciated this clip forty
two Michael Todd Piro Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He has spent five hundred and seventy days on vacation
the last four years. Get out your calculator, America. That
is forty percent of his presidency. That means four out
of every ten days. For those of you who aren't
good at math, Joe Biden has spent on a beach
or otherwise at some form of not working.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, we all know why. I mean, he was incapable
of doing the job and his brain didn't work. Somebody
just sent this text. I was watching Joe Scarborough this morning.
He stated that this is the best Carter I've ever seen. Yes,
and if you don't like it, f you, right, we
all know the story. It is this going to be
lost to history, I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So it's already lost.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean we're not even done with the Biden presidency,
and it's already not enough of the conversation that hey,
y'all covered up for this guy for years and you
got caught and that's how why you lost. You idiots
loved the Babylon b headline, paraphrasing White House claims President
Carter is as sharp as ever behind the scenes, right, yeah, right, beautiful.
(07:28):
So normally we defend presidents and say, well, they're plugged
in all the time, quote unquote, being on vacation, they're
doing the job from elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Although a senile old Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I mean I think he was actually on like semi
permanent vacation.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
This happened and got a lot of attention.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Forty Michael, the President will hedge New Orleans. He gave
a preview yesterday on the message he'll share with the
victims families. It's one we've heard before in times of tragedy,
about the need to hold on to each other in grief.
He also gave an update on the investigation and was
asked by reporters if he still believes that white supremacy
is the greatest threat to the homeland, after he faced
(08:04):
criticism for potentially downplaying the ISIS threat throughout his administration.
He wound up giving this answer.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Listen, I didn't look as Look, we are the most
extensive hold the culsummation in the world.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Funny thing, might being the oldest president. I know more
world leaders than any one of you ever met. In
your home.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wife, Okay, you're gonna have to tell me what he
said there at the beginning, because I couldn't quite hear it.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Oh, it was rambling nonsense. I had foreign countries and
give me give me forty one Michael.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
World might being the oldest president.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
I know more world leaders than any one of you
ever met in your whole goddamn.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wife's The piano tinkles in the back room. The background
is cussing out reporters. I know more world I'm you
got a problem with me being the orders mand it?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You did, brom, get off my log? God? How does so?
We're talking? Last hour?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And if you didn't get it, you should get the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, the Opening to Meet
the Press, and pretty much all the shows. Yesterday was
a nation on edge after a terrorist attack, and I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Thought that's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I was traveling around the country as an airports, as
an high you know, priority targets. If the terrorists were
I didn't run into anybody was on edge. I didn't
feel on edge while I was traveling. I didn't run
into anybody was on edge. So much of media coverage,
maybe this is why I should take in less of it.
It's just not real. I mean, it just doesn't match
(09:33):
up with everybody's life on a day to day basis.
And that would fit in with the President coming out
and giving a speech about the Terek in New Orleans.
And I just want to say I am with you.
I feel your tragedy. I thought, who's that freaking for?
The people in New Orleans don't They're not watching this,
They don't care the actual family members.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
My family member's dead.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The last thing I'm doing is watching the news to
see what the President said, and then for.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The rest of us listening to him at some speech.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Right, Do they actually think that we as a country
like Christian Walker, meet the press and the president and
his speechwriter. Do they think one were on edge and
they need to call us, and two were grief stricken
and can be comforted by the old man saying a
couple of words.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do they think that?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I think they do. Yeah, I do, because they are
so insulated, so bubbled, as the expression goes, they're so
fascinated by and completely captured by what happens within their
circle that they get a distorted view of America that
they pass on to us, which you've been railing against
for a career. But some of it, some of it's
(10:43):
premeditated trying to accomplish something. But I think a lot
of it is they believe their own bull crap. They
think they're the center of our lives, and you know,
not to get all not John Adams, Samuel Adams Anya.
But what the government is far too much at the
center of our lives, the federal government in particular, in
(11:04):
a way that's utterly perverse and adverse to the ideas
of the founding of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's wrong. So you know, don't let it be and
fight it however you can.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Have you ever known anybody that you think that after
there's a I don't know what tragedy, school shooting or anything.
Really practically, have you ever known anybody that you think
needs the comfort of the words of the president?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't think I have no I thought you were
going to ask me. Is on edge and kind of hyper?
I know people like that. Yeah, they almost in my.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Experience, are almost one hundred percent overlap with the farthest
left people I know in my life who like being
afraid and they like being in a state of crisis.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It gives them maybe a sense of purpose. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, I'll tell you on the East Coast, at least
practically everybody I dealt with, airports, rental cars, hotels will
wearing a mask. I don't know if they got more
COVID or if that's just their attitude or what. Lots
and lots of masks. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't blame people trying to avoid respiratory illness, and
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I have no problem with that. But you need to
enunciate and speak louder. You can't have a mask on
and go. I'm sorry, I can't hear you with your
freaking mask on, you lunatic.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, especially if it's somebody like working an airline counter
or something like that. Manya moron, talk louder or pull
your mask. Count damn it ah ah maybe nuts. You know,
I'd just gotten loose for kicking the old man. I
want to talk at some point about the ridiculous metals
of freedom of presentations. And also, and this happened just
(12:46):
after I think we went on vacation, his commuting the
sentences of like all but three people on federal death Row,
and the utter hypocrisy and ridiculousness of that gesture just
in a this is kind of funny live as we're
on the air, So lots of people in Washington, DC
got this big giant snowstorm going on certification of the election,
(13:09):
tourists everything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
A giant, massive snowball fight has broken out on the
mall and it was hilariously fun, looks really really fat.
You are going to have to explain to me at
some point in the show. We got to get into
this because I kept coming across it. What the term
woke right means? Seemed like it was the hottest thing
in all of social media over the last two weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Huh, what if I don't want?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well, I need to know what it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Is, all right? Am I am? I afraid of it?
Am I one of them? Am I am? I for it?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't even know what it is, among other things
we need to discuss. I hope you can stay here.
Jimmy Carter died while we were gone. I was about
enough of him already anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
So wow, insensitive?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Uh oh, well, it was a terrible president and a
terrible ex president said.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It, and it seemed like a really really nice guy.
You can be all those things, right, right, Yeah, you'd
be a great neighbor to have. You'd let him babysit
your kids, et cetera, et cetera. But foreign policy horrible absolutely, yah.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Yeah, self righteous and just wrong about a lot of things,
But faithful and good husband and father.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's okay. You don't have to hate people you disagree with.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Speaking of things to hate, I really do want to
get into the story out of Great Britain about the
incredible story of all the rape of young English girls
by Muslim immigrants and the systematic cover up of it
by the Government of Great Britain, from local police on
up to Westminster Abbey, and why it's a horrific tale.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You can hardly even believe it's true. Yeah, I'm glad
you've looked into it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I saw a lot of the headlines floating around social
media and I just didn't dig into it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But yeah, I want to hear that myself.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
The Free Press is going big on it, and they're
just absolutely terrific, and you know, they're founded by a
couple of moderate lefty lesbian women. They are no you know,
bombchuckers the right, Speaking of which, you know Jack your
question about what is the woke right? I haven't dug
into it much, just because one of the great things
(15:12):
about unplugging over the holiday break was that, you know,
I unplugged from social media and in particular Twitter to
a large extent, and then I jumped back on and
was reminded how everything is hair on fire all the time, right,
everybody's angry, as you know, and everything's a never ending battle.
Adding back to the question of how you take in
(15:35):
your inputs and where you get your mood from in
modern the modern world.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And apparently I don't think I do this in my
own life, but apparently observing some people, you can kind
of get addicted to that. What am I mad about today?
Who are we mad at today? As a group fight,
and you just engage in it all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Right, Well, there's something really enervating, really exciting about being
in a battle. You know, I feel to some extent
like we are battling for the soul of the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Oh, I would agree that we are in a battle,
and I am Yeah, I don't know what enervating means,
but I think I'm mad. But but the daily little
things I don't get is into every day jumping on Right,
Which little example of this am I outraged about today?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Right? Yeah? I would agree.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
The very basic definition of the wolf right is like
the wolk left, they have become convinced that this country
is irredeemable and evil and should be torn down. And
you know, for different reasons, going in a different direction
the horseshoe theory. When you get to the far ends
of the horseshoe, you're actually pretty close to each other.
It's like the crowd that thinks the West is irredeemable
(16:48):
and Putin's right, we need to save Christianity blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's kind of a woke rightish thing. I guess, gotcha. Well,
I think it's going to be in our lives for
the foreseeable future all kinds.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think, no one for some but some kinds it
doesn't The kind of story that seems to be driving
the wolk right, and I don't blame them. Is this
British rape culture thing that we're going to tell you
about coming up, So stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Armstrong and Geeddy.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So we talked a little bit earlier about what Joe's
doing Dry January, which is I feel like that's the
new I'm gonna quit smoking when I was young. Is
everybody's gonna quit smoking with me? It's dry for now,
you arey for now, a you arey. The calendar doesn't
order me around.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There you go, huh, that's right. So somebody brought this up.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But what we call cousin Christmas where the Who family
gets together in Kansas and they said, are you going
to do seventy five hard? Somebody said I'm doing sixty medium?
And I didn't know what any of this was. Katie,
are you familiar with sony five hard?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I am perfect Well that eye roll who'd indicate yes.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Perfect Well, we'll talk about that next segment. Then maybe
you should might be you could start today do seventy
I can't, but maybe you'll do seventy five hard When
you hear about it now, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So I hesitate to bring this story up because it
is so awful, but it is important to know for
a couple of different reasons. We have touched on this
over the years several times and waited for the story
to blow up, and it hasn't. It is the story
of the systematic grooming and raping of thousands of young
(18:29):
English girls for years and years in Great Britain. A
couple of things before we get into it. This seems unbelievable.
I think you need to understand if you don't already,
and if we have any Brits listening certainly, or Europeans
in general, and you'd like to weigh in via email,
(18:49):
maybe mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. Email
us mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com. Make the
subject line obvious so I can find it quickly. But
Great Britain much of your But Great Britain in particular
is like one giant college campus in terms of wokeism,
(19:09):
and like Europe, they conducted this experiment for the last
twenty years of importing millions and millions of people from
the Middle East and Africa, the rub being most of
them are Muslim and some fundamentalist, and that's its own problem,
but also just a different culture, and culture matters. We've
(19:33):
been talking about this for years and years and years.
Culture is more than like art and music in the
style of foods you serve. It is how we do things.
It is relationships. What is a man's relationship to his
wife that's informed by culture. My relationship to Judy is
very different than the average man and wife in Afghanistan,
for instance. Well, yeah, what is our relationship with sex,
(19:59):
with the police, with our government, with our neighbor, what
if we get into dispute.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Culture is all of those things.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
So you have all these people from a completely different
culture who view women and girls, very very differently than
we do in the West. Flooding a country, and Europe
has been so terrified of clashes between or open like
you know, conflict between Muslim immigrants and Westerners. It has
(20:31):
gone like full on Columbia University woke. You can't criticize anybody,
you can't say anything, you can't do anything. We're just
gonna We're gonna just everybody's gonna be so nice. This
isn't going to be a problem, and it's become an
enormous problem. So you got to picture Britain as one
big Columbia University. Trust me when I say that's truer,
(20:53):
closer to truth than false. I'm gonna quote Dominic Green
here from The Free Press, which again is a wonderful
new independent news whose website and commentary website. It's Barry
Weiss's project with Nelly Bowles, her partner, I think wife,
who is like her, a moderate lefty, fiercely independent journalist
who believes in calling it as they see it and
(21:13):
not cow telling in any particular line. The headline is
the biggest peacetime crime and cover up in British history.
Dominic Green wrote it, the serial rape of thousands of
English girls went on for many years. Few in power
cared than Elon Musk started tweeting, And you know, like
it or not. If dude gets becomes aware of a
(21:36):
story and starts talking about it and tweeting about it,
all of a sudden, the world pays attention.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
This is one.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I can't think of a better way to proceed than
to quote mister Green's article here. The grooming and serial
rape of thousands of English girls by men of mostly
Pakistani Muslim background over several decades is the biggest peacetime
crime in the history of modern Europe. It went on
for many years, it is still going on, and there's
been no justice for the vast majority of the victims.
(22:05):
British governments, both conservative and labor, hoped that they had
buried the story after a few symbolic prosecutions in the
twenty tens, and it looked like they had succeeded until
Elon Musk read some of the court papers and tweeted
his disgusted and bafflement on x over the new year.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Britain now stands shamed before the world.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
The public's suppressed wrath is bubbling to the surface in petitions,
calls for public inquiry and demands for accountability. The scandal
is already reshaping British politics. It's not just about the
heinous nature of the crimes, it's that every level of
the British system is implicated in the cover up. I'm
reading minds at this point, Jack, I'm guessing a lot
of our listeners are saying, I still haven't seen this
(22:45):
in the American press, right, and then you could probably
guess why we're not quite as freaked out as Europe.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But we are way down the road of.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Any criticism of an immigrant or an immigrant culture or
a different culture as racism and xenophobia, nationalism.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Any wrong, anything that's not white, male, Christian.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Right, Yeah, exactly, it's xenophilia. I suggest really strongly and everybody,
I think people who are honest with themselves try to
do this. Come to your conclusions based on the facts.
Don't come to your facts based on your conclusions. If
something is true, it's true, deal with it. If men
(23:25):
of Pakistani Muslim origin or raping young girls in Britain,
deal with it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Social workers were intimidated into silence, Local police ignored, excused,
and even embedded pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. Senior
police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the
name of maintaining what they called community relations. Local councilors
and members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the
parents of raped children, charities, non governmental organizations and labor MPs.
(23:55):
That's your minister's of Parliament accuse those who discussed the
scandal of racism and islamophobia. The media mostly ignored or
downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity,
much of Britain's media elite balanced or remained barnacled to
the bubble of Westminster politics and its self serving priorities.
They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism
(24:19):
and to avoid asking hard questions about failures of immigration
policy and assimilation. They did this because they were afraid
of being called racist or islamophobic. They did this because
Britain's traditional class snobbery has had fused with the new
snobbery of political correctness.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Does that sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
So let me jump in and try to understand this,
and maybe everybody else already understands it, But so if
I you got a Pakistani forty year old dude who
lives in a neighborhood, an apartment or a house or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Who is he raping?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Is he raping the children of other Muslim families?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Who are they grooming? Who are they raping? Excellent question.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I was just about to get to that, but I'll
just go ahead and characterize it. What you have is
groups of these men who hang out together do whatever
they do together. And this is in large part, almost
not almost entirely, but in large large part in the
really rough post industrial call it rust belt northern English
(25:25):
towns where you've got a lot of poverty, orphans, drug abuse,
alcoholism among teens and that sort of thing. They target
the downtrodden girls, identify them, groom them, drug them, feed
them alcohol, and rape them over and over and over again,
then traffic them. Some of them end up dead. And
(25:48):
then the authorities are so terrified of being called this
that or the other, or of stirring up something that
would harm community relations, they soft pedaled it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And there are stories.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
And again this is not in some sort of wild eyed,
right wing crazy report. This is documented stuff being written
about right now in the free press. And this has
been going on since the nineteen sixties and really got
bad in the seventies. These men targeted the most vulnerable girls,
the poor and the fatherless children in care homes that's orphanages,
(26:22):
with candy, food, taxi rides, drugs.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
They raped the girls, passed.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Them around family and friendship networks, pimped them into similar
networks in other cities, then discarded them as they reached
the age of consent. This pattern was repeating in as
many as fifty cities across the country, including in Leafy
Oxford and Liberal Bristol. A twenty fourteen inquiry estimated that
fourteen hundred girls had been serially raped in Rotherham alone,
which is the industrial city that all of this first
(26:49):
became really known and talked about. Here's a story about Sophie,
a twelve year old girl in Oldham entered a police station.
This is going to be tough to take. By the way,
if the kids are less listening, have them stop. You
can explain the horrors of the world later in their lives.
Twelve year old girl named Sophie entered a police station,
reported that she had just been molested in a graveyard
(27:10):
by a man named Ali. Desk officer told her to
come back with an adult. When she was sober. Two
men accosted her in the police station, joined by a third.
They raped her in their car. When they dumped her
on the street, she asked for a name name a
man named Sarwan Ali for directions. He took her to
his home, raped her, gave her money for bus fair home.
A man named Shaquil Chowdery pulled up in his car
(27:31):
offered to take her home. He abducted her and took
her to a house where he and four other men
repeatedly raped her. This is a twelve year old girl
in Britain, all covered up from the local politicians to
the cops, to Westminster Abbey in the name of not
admitting their immigration policies had failed.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
The working people of England miserably. So I saw this.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Popping up on Twitter. Elon Musk's platform, as he is
the guy that is like alerted the United States and
some of the world to this story. So he got
he came across the court documents from a case about this. Yeah,
so this stuff was I mean, you can't get more
credible than that. This is from the actual court documents.
(28:19):
It's not from some like you said, right wing anti
Muslim Twitter feed.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
When was the court case? How many years ago that
he came across I couldn't tell you. I don't know
this specific.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm trying to wrap my head around how when that
court case was going on it didn't blow up into
the biggest story in England or the world.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
For the reasons we've been talking about, the elite, including
the elite media, are intensely uncomfortable with this storyline because
it did hints toward, you know, the stuff of bigotry
and prejudice, an anti immigrant sentiment, and they refuse to
give it fuel, even if it's one hundred percent true.
(29:11):
A couple more facts on that very question. The majority
of the victims were white, plus some Seekhs. The majority
of their abusers were a Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim extraction.
The majority of their crimes were committed in cities with
a Labor Party controlled council and a Labor Party MP
who needed Muslim votes. This led to institutional racism of
(29:31):
the inverted kind that enabled the perpetrators to do as
they like. The system itself became corrupted. Welfare workers admit
that they failed to report crimes because the police told
them that they would be accused as racist. A leader
of one freaking week I know, you know if you've
looked into the eyes of a girl who's been raped
(29:52):
repeatedly by a group of guys and you can keep
your mouth shut because it might look bad.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Boy, you're a different sort of person than me.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Good lord, you know that relates to another story I
want to do probably tomorrow about why the US is
whooping butt on Europe economically speaking, and believe it or not,
it kind of relates to this case. But the leader
of one rape gang in Oldhams, Shabir Ahmed, worked for
a local council as a welfare rights officer and ran
(30:21):
his gang from the government offices. Another member was on
the Oldham Youth Council. In multiple cases, local libor politicians
of Pakistani background interfered with police inquiry. I think you've
gotten the flavor of this. There's much much more and
the stories again. Twenty sixteen inquiry said that at least
fourteen hundred young British girls had been raped in this
(30:43):
manner and that was years ago and it's.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Still going on. So I got a couple of questions
about this.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
We should take a break, and I'll bet some of
you might have some questions or comments on the text
line because I and then yeah, a little more on
this coming up.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Not the funniest thing we've ever done.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Here's the text line for two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So for a lot of you, and this is a
very serious adult topic we're into right now in case
you just joined us.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For a lot of.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You, you knew this story, uh, the serial raping of
young girls in Great Britain and perhaps in the United States.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
We'll get into that maybe later.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But Elon started tweeting about it a lot over the
weekend for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Did he just come across this information? Is that what happened?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I think so, yeah, he became aware of it. And
I can't find this specific case because again there were many, many, hundreds,
couple thousand young English girls systematically raped and still are today.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And somebody came forward and it was enough to make
it to a court case, and you know, actually I
have a trial. Anyway, Elon was reading the actual documents
that came out of this trial and like, how have
I never heard of this?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
How is this a bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And it's been going on and for a long time,
still going on today. So here's my question, one of
my many questions about this.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
So these.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Muslim men who came to Great Britain, was this the
sort of thing they did back in their own countries
and it was accepted there? Or did they They couldn't
have gotten away with it, They couldn't have gotten away
with it in their own country. But they come to
a country like the United States or Great Britain, where
our laws and culture are so open.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You can get away with it.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Well, they were in a culture in Britain's way worse
than the US, although the US is heading in that direction.
They went to a culture that was terrified of calling
them out for what they were doing, for reasons of
not wanting to be bigoted or anti Islamic, or cause
conflict or to lose the votes in some of these
heavily Muslim parts of England. So it was the most
(32:55):
cold hearted and selfish sorts of politics that motivated turning
blind eye.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, we got a couple of texts. A big thing.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
The big thing is you have Muslims in key political
positions that prey on these girls too. As you just said.
But so I'm just trying to figure out because most
of us would even if it was legalized today, most
of us would not do this.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
All right, including most Muslims. They would find it absolutely abhorrent.
It's worth saying. But the problem is when you, for
reasons of cultural prerogatives that you don't want to come
off as a nationalist or a xenophile or a racist,
regularly ignore the most horrific crimes against innocent girls to
(33:41):
preserve that narrative, you have become an evil monster.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
To the question of why it isn't being talked about
more now, because you'd think once Elon blew the lid
off of it, it would be like leading the CBS
Evening News or something. But there is something that goes on,
apparently in the human mind or society or something. If
something is too big or awful, we just move on.
It's kind of like the way we have with the pandemic.
(34:06):
It's just so big and awful, eh, and just move on,
never mind. And we did it with the pandemic of
nineteen eighteen two, and this might be one of those
it's just too big and awful to deal with.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I think there is some of that.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think the other aspect of it, particularly in terms
of the media, is that it would be fairly easy
to portray a legitimate description of what is going on
and what has gone on as anti Islamic, as Islamophobic,
as anti immigrant, as bigoted, as racist, just an you
could portray an accurate discussion of it.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
In that way.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
And trust me, as a guy who does this for
a living, I'm aware of that as we're doing it.
And so if you have an entire media complex that's
already predisposed to not saying anything nasty about immigrants in general,
or Muslims or whatever, you combine that with that paranoia.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're gonna call me a racist in my career is
going to be over.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
You get silence, boy, that's a heck of any interesting thing.
Elon has got the benefit of, you know, he's too
rich to care what anybody thinks about what he says.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Well, and if we ever disappear, folks, just google and
bing all day long till you find our new podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
There'll be one. Armstrong and Getty on demand is what
it's called.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
If you miss the segment, get it Armstrong and Getty
Guys broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the
George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, I'm strong and he Armstrong
and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Department of Transportation hitting Jet Blue this week with a
two million dollar fine.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
DOT investigation found.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Jet Blue operated four chronically delayed flights on the East Coast,
arriving more than thirty minutes late more than half the
time for at least five straight months.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Wow. The fine, in.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Part, will go towards compensating Jeff Blue passengers already impacted
and those who see flight cancelations and lengthy delays in
the year to come. But Jet Blue says half of
the blame lies with the US government urging the incoming
administration to prioritize modernizing outdated ATC technology and a dressing
chronic air traffic controllers staffing shortages.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So the weather has been crazy the last couple of days.
I was in the midst of it in the Midwest,
and you can't blame the airlines when the weather is
that bad. I mean, there's no structure of travel that
wouldn't get disrupted heavily when you have historic snow, wind, cold,
that sort of thing, but in general, the airlines punish
(01:24):
us a lot with the I was amazed. I flew
a couple of different airlines and just the paying for
every single little thing. Now, so you book your ticket,
Oh that's just for a seat where like Cary, if
you have to, you're gonna have to sit with your
head bent like this. If you want your head to
be straight up and have room to have your head
straight up, you gotta pay an extra thirty nine dollars.
If you want your feet, you have to remove your
(01:47):
feet if you're in this seat, if you want to
actually have your feet, and then it's another fifty nine. Oh,
you want to have a bag. You're gonna travel with luggage.
Of course I'm traveling with luggage. I'm gonna travel across
the country with nothing. Well, if you're gonna have luggage,
then it's another this much money.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
It's just wow. Yes, it's like the going to a steakhouse.
Everything's all a car. Wait a minute's sixty three bucks.
It's just for the slab of meat.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And then I got I got screwed by a rental
car company. Also when I showed up to get my
vehicle and they said we don't. We don't have one
of those right now. What do you mean I was
about to set off on a cross country trip. What
do you mean you don't have it. I'm showed to
my email confirmation number. I'm supposed to show up at
this time. What does the word confirmation mean to you?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, we don't. That means that we should have the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
We understand you reserve the vehicle, but we don't have
the vehicle when it's busy like this, we don't always
have the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I said, what do you mean when it's busy like this?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Nothing in this email says that if you're busy, you
won't have my car.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It doesn't say that anywhere. I was really unhappy with that.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So it's a system that says, you know, we usually
have those cars. So yeah, let's promise this guy one.
It's like a specific car that they're going to have
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, can we put you in something else?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I don't want something else. Traveling across the country, I
have a lot of space. Well, we don't have that.
But again, what does confirmation mean? Tell me what confirmation
is here? I'll look it up in the dictionary for you.
But anyway, So I got into this discussion with my
family members about where I run into problems with my
whole libertarianism free market stuff. And I'm always will be
(03:19):
a free market guy as opposed to you know, state
run whatever. But it just seems like some industries. I
don't know if the barrier of entry is too difficult
airlines and rental car companies or what, but it seems
like a race to the bottom. Oh and a couple
of different was calling around see if I could get
a vehicle. The website, the attempting to talk to a
(03:41):
human being is just so horrible, and it's getting worse,
and there doesn't seem to be the normal market pressures
of trying to be better so that the other companies
would have to keep.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Up with you. This reminds me somewhat of your rants
about cheap Chinese crap flooding the country. I think a
lot more people want cheap crap than want to pay
more for quality. A lot of people are just price
driven when it comes to airline seats and rental cars,
and they just figure ouh, they all suck and they
(04:15):
chase the lowest price.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So if a company treated you better, which probably would
cost a little more. You think the majority of people
would not choose that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, they would go for the low ticket.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well that's disappointing then yeah, I just yeah, I'm not
saying I'm in favor of it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I just think it is.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
And getting back to the Jet Blue story, number one,
our air traffic control system is in dire need of
an upgrade, but it has no lobbyists to bribe politicians,
so it's not gonna happen. But the idea of finding
Jet Blue heavily for not being able to be on time.
They're already hemorrhging cares. They're constantly trying to merge with
somebody because they're going out of business. Finding them, they're like, okay, great,
(04:58):
we'll fire three or four more pilots, pay your fine.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Great, that'll make us on time on it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
It has a very The beatings will continue till the
morale improves field to it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Of course, I've never.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Flown Jet Blue because I'm not low ticket guy. Right,
I want a shoulder massage. I want a valure seatide
prefers ilk, but the lure will do.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
My brother, who's a fairly large guy, flew Spirit and
he said he couldn't feel his feet by the time
he lefted because he had his legs all twisted up
and pushed together.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And if you can't.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
What he doesn't realize is the full name of Spirit
Airlines is in parentheses, is we'll crush your Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It looks like the Prime Minister of Canada is resigning
and a weasel if he says anything interesting, good looking
weasel though.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
If he says anything interesting, we'll bring that to you.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
What's the short version of why he's resigning? People hate him?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah? Well, yeah, people hate him. He's a woke idiot
who's ruined Canada.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You ruined Canada? Are you happy?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Get LGDP gt lbch LGBTQ two plush There he is there, Yeah,
the real Northern George Washington there.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Huh. How about that leadership about weasel? Oh geez, all right,
speaking of weasels in bad leadership, Joe Biden is soon
to be the former president. I appreciated this clip forty
two Michael Todd Piro Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He has spent five hundred and seventy days on vacation
the last four years. Get out your calculator, America. That
is forty percent of his presidency. That means four out
of every ten days. For those of you who aren't
good at math, Joe Biden has spent on a beach
or otherwise at some form of not working.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, we all know why. I mean, he was incapable
of doing the job and his brain didn't work. Somebody
just sent this text. I was watching Joe Scarborough this morning.
He stated that this is the best Carter I've ever seen. Yes,
and if you don't like it, f you, right, we
all know the story. It is this going to be
lost to history, I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So it's already lost.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean we're not even done with the Biden presidency,
and it's already not enough of the conversation that hey,
y'all covered up for this guy for years and you
got caught and that's how why you lost. You idiots
loved the Babylon b headline, paraphrasing White House claims President
Carter is as sharp as ever behind the scenes, right, yeah, right, beautiful.
(07:28):
So normally we defend presidents and say, well, they're plugged
in all the time, quote unquote, being on vacation, they're
doing the job from elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Although a senile old Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I mean I think he was actually on like semi
permanent vacation.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
This happened and got a lot of attention.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Forty Michael, the President will hedge New Orleans. He gave
a preview yesterday on the message he'll share with the
victims families. It's one we've heard before in times of tragedy,
about the need to hold on to each other in grief.
He also gave an update on the investigation and was
asked by reporters if he still believes that white supremacy
is the greatest threat to the homeland, after he faced
(08:04):
criticism for potentially downplaying the ISIS threat throughout his administration.
He wound up giving this answer.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Listen, I didn't look as Look, we are the most
extensive hold the culsummation in the world.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Funny thing, might being the oldest president. I know more
world leaders than any one of you ever met. In
your home.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wife, Okay, you're gonna have to tell me what he
said there at the beginning, because I couldn't quite hear it.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Oh, it was rambling nonsense. I had foreign countries and
give me give me forty one Michael.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
World might being the oldest president.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
I know more world leaders than any one of you
ever met in your whole goddamn.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wife's The piano tinkles in the back room. The background
is cussing out reporters. I know more world I'm you
got a problem with me being the orders mand it?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You did, brom, get off my log? God? How does so?
We're talking? Last hour?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And if you didn't get it, you should get the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, the Opening to Meet
the Press, and pretty much all the shows. Yesterday was
a nation on edge after a terrorist attack, and I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Thought that's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I was traveling around the country as an airports, as
an high you know, priority targets. If the terrorists were
I didn't run into anybody was on edge. I didn't
feel on edge while I was traveling. I didn't run
into anybody was on edge. So much of media coverage,
maybe this is why I should take in less of it.
It's just not real. I mean, it just doesn't match
(09:33):
up with everybody's life on a day to day basis.
And that would fit in with the President coming out
and giving a speech about the Terek in New Orleans.
And I just want to say I am with you.
I feel your tragedy. I thought, who's that freaking for?
The people in New Orleans don't They're not watching this,
They don't care the actual family members.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
My family member's dead.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The last thing I'm doing is watching the news to
see what the President said, and then for.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The rest of us listening to him at some speech.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Right, Do they actually think that we as a country
like Christian Walker, meet the press and the president and
his speechwriter. Do they think one were on edge and
they need to call us, and two were grief stricken
and can be comforted by the old man saying a
couple of words.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do they think that?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I think they do. Yeah, I do, because they are
so insulated, so bubbled, as the expression goes, they're so
fascinated by and completely captured by what happens within their
circle that they get a distorted view of America that
they pass on to us, which you've been railing against
for a career. But some of it, some of it's
(10:43):
premeditated trying to accomplish something. But I think a lot
of it is they believe their own bull crap. They
think they're the center of our lives, and you know,
not to get all not John Adams, Samuel Adams Anya.
But what the government is far too much at the
center of our lives, the federal government in particular, in
(11:04):
a way that's utterly perverse and adverse to the ideas
of the founding of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's wrong. So you know, don't let it be and
fight it however you can.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Have you ever known anybody that you think that after
there's a I don't know what tragedy, school shooting or anything.
Really practically, have you ever known anybody that you think
needs the comfort of the words of the president?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't think I have no I thought you were
going to ask me. Is on edge and kind of hyper?
I know people like that. Yeah, they almost in my.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Experience, are almost one hundred percent overlap with the farthest
left people I know in my life who like being
afraid and they like being in a state of crisis.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It gives them maybe a sense of purpose. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, I'll tell you on the East Coast, at least
practically everybody I dealt with, airports, rental cars, hotels will
wearing a mask. I don't know if they got more
COVID or if that's just their attitude or what. Lots
and lots of masks. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't blame people trying to avoid respiratory illness, and
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I have no problem with that. But you need to
enunciate and speak louder. You can't have a mask on
and go. I'm sorry, I can't hear you with your
freaking mask on, you lunatic.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, especially if it's somebody like working an airline counter
or something like that. Manya moron, talk louder or pull
your mask. Count damn it ah ah maybe nuts. You know,
I'd just gotten loose for kicking the old man. I
want to talk at some point about the ridiculous metals
of freedom of presentations. And also, and this happened just
(12:46):
after I think we went on vacation, his commuting the
sentences of like all but three people on federal death Row,
and the utter hypocrisy and ridiculousness of that gesture just
in a this is kind of funny live as we're
on the air, So lots of people in Washington, DC
got this big giant snowstorm going on certification of the election,
(13:09):
tourists everything like that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
A giant, massive snowball fight has broken out on the
mall and it was hilariously fun, looks really really fat.
You are going to have to explain to me at
some point in the show. We got to get into
this because I kept coming across it. What the term
woke right means? Seemed like it was the hottest thing
in all of social media over the last two weeks.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Huh, what if I don't want?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well, I need to know what it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Is, all right? Am I am? I afraid of it?
Am I one of them? Am I am? I for it?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't even know what it is, among other things
we need to discuss. I hope you can stay here.
Jimmy Carter died while we were gone. I was about
enough of him already anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
So wow, insensitive?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Uh oh, well, it was a terrible president and a
terrible ex president said.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It, and it seemed like a really really nice guy.
You can be all those things, right, right, Yeah, you'd
be a great neighbor to have. You'd let him babysit
your kids, et cetera, et cetera. But foreign policy horrible absolutely, yah.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Yeah, self righteous and just wrong about a lot of things,
But faithful and good husband and father.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's okay. You don't have to hate people you disagree with.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Speaking of things to hate, I really do want to
get into the story out of Great Britain about the
incredible story of all the rape of young English girls
by Muslim immigrants and the systematic cover up of it
by the Government of Great Britain, from local police on
up to Westminster Abbey, and why it's a horrific tale.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You can hardly even believe it's true. Yeah, I'm glad
you've looked into it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I saw a lot of the headlines floating around social
media and I just didn't dig into it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But yeah, I want to hear that myself.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
The Free Press is going big on it, and they're
just absolutely terrific, and you know, they're founded by a
couple of moderate lefty lesbian women. They are no you know,
bombchuckers the right, Speaking of which, you know Jack your
question about what is the woke right? I haven't dug
into it much, just because one of the great things
(15:12):
about unplugging over the holiday break was that, you know,
I unplugged from social media and in particular Twitter to
a large extent, and then I jumped back on and
was reminded how everything is hair on fire all the time, right,
everybody's angry, as you know, and everything's a never ending battle.
Adding back to the question of how you take in
(15:35):
your inputs and where you get your mood from in
modern the modern world.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And apparently I don't think I do this in my
own life, but apparently observing some people, you can kind
of get addicted to that. What am I mad about today?
Who are we mad at today? As a group fight,
and you just engage in it all the time.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Right, Well, there's something really enervating, really exciting about being
in a battle. You know, I feel to some extent
like we are battling for the soul of the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Oh, I would agree that we are in a battle,
and I am Yeah, I don't know what enervating means,
but I think I'm mad. But but the daily little
things I don't get is into every day jumping on Right,
Which little example of this am I outraged about today?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Right? Yeah? I would agree.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
The very basic definition of the wolf right is like
the wolk left, they have become convinced that this country
is irredeemable and evil and should be torn down. And
you know, for different reasons, going in a different direction
the horseshoe theory. When you get to the far ends
of the horseshoe, you're actually pretty close to each other.
It's like the crowd that thinks the West is irredeemable
(16:48):
and Putin's right, we need to save Christianity blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's kind of a woke rightish thing. I guess, gotcha. Well,
I think it's going to be in our lives for
the foreseeable future all kinds.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think, no one for some but some kinds it
doesn't The kind of story that seems to be driving
the wolk right, and I don't blame them. Is this
British rape culture thing that we're going to tell you
about coming up, So stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Armstrong and Geeddy.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So we talked a little bit earlier about what Joe's
doing Dry January, which is I feel like that's the
new I'm gonna quit smoking when I was young. Is
everybody's gonna quit smoking with me? It's dry for now,
you arey for now, a you arey. The calendar doesn't
order me around.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There you go, huh, that's right. So somebody brought this up.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But what we call cousin Christmas where the Who family
gets together in Kansas and they said, are you going
to do seventy five hard? Somebody said I'm doing sixty medium?
And I didn't know what any of this was. Katie,
are you familiar with sony five hard?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I am perfect Well that eye roll who'd indicate yes.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Perfect Well, we'll talk about that next segment. Then maybe
you should might be you could start today do seventy
I can't, but maybe you'll do seventy five hard When
you hear about it now, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
So I hesitate to bring this story up because it
is so awful, but it is important to know for
a couple of different reasons. We have touched on this
over the years several times and waited for the story
to blow up, and it hasn't. It is the story
of the systematic grooming and raping of thousands of young
(18:29):
English girls for years and years in Great Britain. A
couple of things before we get into it. This seems unbelievable.
I think you need to understand if you don't already,
and if we have any Brits listening certainly, or Europeans
in general, and you'd like to weigh in via email,
(18:49):
maybe mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. Email
us mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com. Make the
subject line obvious so I can find it quickly. But
Great Britain much of your But Great Britain in particular
is like one giant college campus in terms of wokeism,
(19:09):
and like Europe, they conducted this experiment for the last
twenty years of importing millions and millions of people from
the Middle East and Africa, the rub being most of
them are Muslim and some fundamentalist, and that's its own problem,
but also just a different culture, and culture matters. We've
(19:33):
been talking about this for years and years and years.
Culture is more than like art and music in the
style of foods you serve. It is how we do things.
It is relationships. What is a man's relationship to his
wife that's informed by culture. My relationship to Judy is
very different than the average man and wife in Afghanistan,
for instance. Well, yeah, what is our relationship with sex,
(19:59):
with the police, with our government, with our neighbor, what
if we get into dispute.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Culture is all of those things.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
So you have all these people from a completely different
culture who view women and girls, very very differently than
we do in the West. Flooding a country, and Europe
has been so terrified of clashes between or open like
you know, conflict between Muslim immigrants and Westerners. It has
(20:31):
gone like full on Columbia University woke. You can't criticize anybody,
you can't say anything, you can't do anything. We're just
gonna We're gonna just everybody's gonna be so nice. This
isn't going to be a problem, and it's become an
enormous problem. So you got to picture Britain as one
big Columbia University. Trust me when I say that's truer,
(20:53):
closer to truth than false. I'm gonna quote Dominic Green
here from The Free Press, which again is a wonderful
new independent news whose website and commentary website. It's Barry
Weiss's project with Nelly Bowles, her partner, I think wife,
who is like her, a moderate lefty, fiercely independent journalist
who believes in calling it as they see it and
(21:13):
not cow telling in any particular line. The headline is
the biggest peacetime crime and cover up in British history.
Dominic Green wrote it, the serial rape of thousands of
English girls went on for many years. Few in power
cared than Elon Musk started tweeting, And you know, like
it or not. If dude gets becomes aware of a
(21:36):
story and starts talking about it and tweeting about it,
all of a sudden, the world pays attention.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
This is one.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I can't think of a better way to proceed than
to quote mister Green's article here. The grooming and serial
rape of thousands of English girls by men of mostly
Pakistani Muslim background over several decades is the biggest peacetime
crime in the history of modern Europe. It went on
for many years, it is still going on, and there's
been no justice for the vast majority of the victims.
(22:05):
British governments, both conservative and labor, hoped that they had
buried the story after a few symbolic prosecutions in the
twenty tens, and it looked like they had succeeded until
Elon Musk read some of the court papers and tweeted
his disgusted and bafflement on x over the new year.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Britain now stands shamed before the world.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
The public's suppressed wrath is bubbling to the surface in petitions,
calls for public inquiry and demands for accountability. The scandal
is already reshaping British politics. It's not just about the
heinous nature of the crimes, it's that every level of
the British system is implicated in the cover up. I'm
reading minds at this point, Jack, I'm guessing a lot
of our listeners are saying, I still haven't seen this
(22:45):
in the American press, right, and then you could probably
guess why we're not quite as freaked out as Europe.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But we are way down the road of.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Any criticism of an immigrant or an immigrant culture or
a different culture as racism and xenophobia, nationalism.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Any wrong, anything that's not white, male, Christian.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Right, Yeah, exactly, it's xenophilia. I suggest really strongly and everybody,
I think people who are honest with themselves try to
do this. Come to your conclusions based on the facts.
Don't come to your facts based on your conclusions. If
something is true, it's true, deal with it. If men
(23:25):
of Pakistani Muslim origin or raping young girls in Britain,
deal with it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Social workers were intimidated into silence, Local police ignored, excused,
and even embedded pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. Senior
police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the
name of maintaining what they called community relations. Local councilors
and members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the
parents of raped children, charities, non governmental organizations and labor MPs.
(23:55):
That's your minister's of Parliament accuse those who discussed the
scandal of racism and islamophobia. The media mostly ignored or
downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity,
much of Britain's media elite balanced or remained barnacled to
the bubble of Westminster politics and its self serving priorities.
They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism
(24:19):
and to avoid asking hard questions about failures of immigration
policy and assimilation. They did this because they were afraid
of being called racist or islamophobic. They did this because
Britain's traditional class snobbery has had fused with the new
snobbery of political correctness.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Does that sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
So let me jump in and try to understand this,
and maybe everybody else already understands it, But so if
I you got a Pakistani forty year old dude who
lives in a neighborhood, an apartment or a house or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Who is he raping?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Is he raping the children of other Muslim families?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Who are they grooming? Who are they raping? Excellent question.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I was just about to get to that, but I'll
just go ahead and characterize it. What you have is
groups of these men who hang out together do whatever
they do together. And this is in large part, almost
not almost entirely, but in large large part in the
really rough post industrial call it rust belt northern English
(25:25):
towns where you've got a lot of poverty, orphans, drug abuse,
alcoholism among teens and that sort of thing. They target
the downtrodden girls, identify them, groom them, drug them, feed
them alcohol, and rape them over and over and over again,
then traffic them. Some of them end up dead. And
(25:48):
then the authorities are so terrified of being called this
that or the other, or of stirring up something that
would harm community relations, they soft pedaled it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
And there are stories.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
And again this is not in some sort of wild eyed,
right wing crazy report. This is documented stuff being written
about right now in the free press. And this has
been going on since the nineteen sixties and really got
bad in the seventies. These men targeted the most vulnerable girls,
the poor and the fatherless children in care homes that's orphanages,
(26:22):
with candy, food, taxi rides, drugs.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
They raped the girls, passed.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Them around family and friendship networks, pimped them into similar
networks in other cities, then discarded them as they reached
the age of consent. This pattern was repeating in as
many as fifty cities across the country, including in Leafy
Oxford and Liberal Bristol. A twenty fourteen inquiry estimated that
fourteen hundred girls had been serially raped in Rotherham alone,
which is the industrial city that all of this first
(26:49):
became really known and talked about. Here's a story about Sophie,
a twelve year old girl in Oldham entered a police station.
This is going to be tough to take. By the way,
if the kids are less listening, have them stop. You
can explain the horrors of the world later in their lives.
Twelve year old girl named Sophie entered a police station,
reported that she had just been molested in a graveyard
(27:10):
by a man named Ali. Desk officer told her to
come back with an adult. When she was sober. Two
men accosted her in the police station, joined by a third.
They raped her in their car. When they dumped her
on the street, she asked for a name name a
man named Sarwan Ali for directions. He took her to
his home, raped her, gave her money for bus fair home.
A man named Shaquil Chowdery pulled up in his car
(27:31):
offered to take her home. He abducted her and took
her to a house where he and four other men
repeatedly raped her. This is a twelve year old girl
in Britain, all covered up from the local politicians to
the cops, to Westminster Abbey in the name of not
admitting their immigration policies had failed.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
The working people of England miserably. So I saw this.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Popping up on Twitter. Elon Musk's platform, as he is
the guy that is like alerted the United States and
some of the world to this story. So he got
he came across the court documents from a case about this. Yeah,
so this stuff was I mean, you can't get more
credible than that. This is from the actual court documents.
(28:19):
It's not from some like you said, right wing anti
Muslim Twitter feed.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
When was the court case? How many years ago that
he came across I couldn't tell you. I don't know
this specific.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm trying to wrap my head around how when that
court case was going on it didn't blow up into
the biggest story in England or the world.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
For the reasons we've been talking about, the elite, including
the elite media, are intensely uncomfortable with this storyline because
it did hints toward, you know, the stuff of bigotry
and prejudice, an anti immigrant sentiment, and they refuse to
give it fuel, even if it's one hundred percent true.
(29:11):
A couple more facts on that very question. The majority
of the victims were white, plus some Seekhs. The majority
of their abusers were a Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim extraction.
The majority of their crimes were committed in cities with
a Labor Party controlled council and a Labor Party MP
who needed Muslim votes. This led to institutional racism of
(29:31):
the inverted kind that enabled the perpetrators to do as
they like. The system itself became corrupted. Welfare workers admit
that they failed to report crimes because the police told
them that they would be accused as racist. A leader
of one freaking week I know, you know if you've
looked into the eyes of a girl who's been raped
(29:52):
repeatedly by a group of guys and you can keep
your mouth shut because it might look bad.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Boy, you're a different sort of person than me.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Good lord, you know that relates to another story I
want to do probably tomorrow about why the US is
whooping butt on Europe economically speaking, and believe it or not,
it kind of relates to this case. But the leader
of one rape gang in Oldhams, Shabir Ahmed, worked for
a local council as a welfare rights officer and ran
(30:21):
his gang from the government offices. Another member was on
the Oldham Youth Council. In multiple cases, local libor politicians
of Pakistani background interfered with police inquiry. I think you've
gotten the flavor of this. There's much much more and
the stories again. Twenty sixteen inquiry said that at least
fourteen hundred young British girls had been raped in this
(30:43):
manner and that was years ago and it's.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Still going on. So I got a couple of questions
about this.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
We should take a break, and I'll bet some of
you might have some questions or comments on the text
line because I and then yeah, a little more on
this coming up.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Not the funniest thing we've ever done.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Here's the text line for two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So for a lot of you, and this is a
very serious adult topic we're into right now in case
you just joined us.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
For a lot of.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
You, you knew this story, uh, the serial raping of
young girls in Great Britain and perhaps in the United States.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
We'll get into that maybe later.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
But Elon started tweeting about it a lot over the
weekend for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Did he just come across this information? Is that what happened?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I think so, yeah, he became aware of it. And
I can't find this specific case because again there were many, many, hundreds,
couple thousand young English girls systematically raped and still are today.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And somebody came forward and it was enough to make
it to a court case, and you know, actually I
have a trial. Anyway, Elon was reading the actual documents
that came out of this trial and like, how have
I never heard of this?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
How is this a bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And it's been going on and for a long time,
still going on today. So here's my question, one of
my many questions about this.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
So these.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Muslim men who came to Great Britain, was this the
sort of thing they did back in their own countries
and it was accepted there? Or did they They couldn't
have gotten away with it, They couldn't have gotten away
with it in their own country. But they come to
a country like the United States or Great Britain, where
our laws and culture are so open.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You can get away with it.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Well, they were in a culture in Britain's way worse
than the US, although the US is heading in that direction.
They went to a culture that was terrified of calling
them out for what they were doing, for reasons of
not wanting to be bigoted or anti Islamic, or cause
conflict or to lose the votes in some of these
heavily Muslim parts of England. So it was the most
(32:55):
cold hearted and selfish sorts of politics that motivated turning
blind eye.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, we got a couple of texts. A big thing.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
The big thing is you have Muslims in key political
positions that prey on these girls too. As you just said.
But so I'm just trying to figure out because most
of us would even if it was legalized today, most
of us would not do this.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
All right, including most Muslims. They would find it absolutely abhorrent.
It's worth saying. But the problem is when you, for
reasons of cultural prerogatives that you don't want to come
off as a nationalist or a xenophile or a racist,
regularly ignore the most horrific crimes against innocent girls to
(33:41):
preserve that narrative, you have become an evil monster.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
To the question of why it isn't being talked about
more now, because you'd think once Elon blew the lid
off of it, it would be like leading the CBS
Evening News or something. But there is something that goes on,
apparently in the human mind or society or something. If
something is too big or awful, we just move on.
It's kind of like the way we have with the pandemic.
(34:06):
It's just so big and awful, eh, and just move on,
never mind. And we did it with the pandemic of
nineteen eighteen two, and this might be one of those
it's just too big and awful to deal with.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I think there is some of that.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think the other aspect of it, particularly in terms
of the media, is that it would be fairly easy
to portray a legitimate description of what is going on
and what has gone on as anti Islamic, as Islamophobic,
as anti immigrant, as bigoted, as racist, just an you
could portray an accurate discussion of it.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
In that way.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
And trust me, as a guy who does this for
a living, I'm aware of that as we're doing it.
And so if you have an entire media complex that's
already predisposed to not saying anything nasty about immigrants in general,
or Muslims or whatever, you combine that with that paranoia.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
They're gonna call me a racist in my career is
going to be over.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
You get silence, boy, that's a heck of any interesting thing.
Elon has got the benefit of, you know, he's too
rich to care what anybody thinks about what he says.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Well, and if we ever disappear, folks, just google and
bing all day long till you find our new podcast.
