From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio

0:12

at the George Washington Broadcast Center.

0:15

Jack Armstrong and Joe Jetty Armstrong

0:17

and Getty show, I

0:21

continue to be at home for

0:24

some COVID protocol that I don't

0:26

quite understand, and I'm not sure anybody does,

0:29

because the CDC and the county

0:31

I live in, and the company I work for

0:33

all have different views of when

0:37

you can be around people and when you're contagious

0:39

and when you're well, and school districts

0:41

also, and a lot of you parents

0:43

are really running into this where the

0:45

school district's guideline of when you

0:48

could be around somebody is different than your kids

0:50

so or the counties. So

0:53

can you come pick up your kid from school or you're

0:55

not supposed to be there or how does that work?

0:58

Well? Right? And I we just an

1:00

email from a bloke who's in the medical profession.

1:02

I thought I had it handy, but I don't. Oh

1:05

there it is. This is from

1:07

a doctor actually who points out

1:09

there are two types of tests, an antigen

1:11

test and a PCR test. This is to the

1:13

question of you're

1:15

told by you know, the various folks we work

1:18

with that you got to get a negative test before

1:20

you come back. And then the

1:22

county health guy said, well, for ninety days

1:24

you're going to get positives. Don't take

1:26

a test. In fact, he said, please do not have anybody

1:28

in your family get a test over the next ninety

1:30

days. Right, he's primarily worried about

1:33

his case numbers going whackadoodle

1:35

because people who aren't really sick will be positives

1:38

because of the sensitivity of that test. But

1:40

so you got the antigen test is when

1:42

you get at home. It tests for live virus in

1:44

your schnaz. It'll have a high

1:47

false negative rate that if you get a negative,

1:49

you still might have the VID. Okay, I got a

1:51

negative on the day I was the sickest I've ever

1:53

been in my life. NAT takes

1:55

from COVID all the fun out of swab in your

1:58

nose. It

2:00

however, has a very low false

2:02

positive rate, meaning if

2:04

you get a positive you are infected

2:06

with the faushy hunt and sour bat

2:09

fever. Okay, but does that do me

2:11

much good if it has so many false the other

2:13

direction, don't don't worry about

2:15

it because you're you're over the COVID

2:18

and all you have to do a show to bosson negative

2:20

my doctor said, based on latest

2:22

information that almomost

2:25

certainly not contagious anymore. Nah,

2:28

okay, super The other test

2:30

is the PCR test. It'll look for virus

2:32

RNA in your nose, has a high

2:34

false positive rate for a very

2:37

long time because it's still detecting dead

2:39

viral RNA.

2:42

This is the one you go to the lab for U.

2:44

So yeah, it's just

2:47

you got to take the home kind to get cleared,

2:49

because the super advanced kind will tell you that you have

2:51

got have COVID until next Arbor

2:54

day. Okay, So I get the ille, I'll

2:56

get the home one. It'll come up negative

2:58

right, just like it did on the day. I was as

3:01

thick as I've ever been. And I'll show it to everybody

3:03

and say see I'm okay, and people say good

3:05

news. Exactly follow the science,

3:08

all right, I'll do that if that makes people

3:10

happy. Yeah, yeah,

3:12

tell you what. So a lot

3:14

of things to talk about. We just got to decide

3:17

in what order. I'm just going to

3:19

scan a bunch of headlines for you and then dive into

3:21

a couple of things. Oh, we gotta get into. Um,

3:25

there are a couple of whopping lies that

3:28

the guy that's the Democrat running for governor

3:30

in Virginia throughout four Pinocchio

3:34

Washington Post lies, And

3:36

it's just worth pointing out to

3:38

what level major politicians

3:41

are willing to state untruths.

3:43

You know, it's funny you should mention that I was gonna bring

3:45

up the very thing, the very same thing today, and

3:48

we Jack and I had a bitter argument,

3:50

nearly violent that we'll need counseling

3:53

if I ever been at home of the Virginia race.

3:55

If I hadn't been at home, it probably would have turned

3:57

into a knife fight. Oh yeah, as it's

3:59

often has. You know how you arrest your blade on

4:01

the barrel overnight to get it rusty the

4:04

two do? I are you kidding?

4:07

And that's that most days you used to remember the straight

4:09

race, you would bang him on the curb getting rusty,

4:11

put him into rain barrel, getting rusty,

4:14

so you would deliver a more grievous

4:16

and jagged wound to your opponent.

4:18

You know, the more we get to

4:20

know Joe Biden, the more I want

4:23

to a deep dive on that. I know it would

4:25

be weird that if whoever

4:28

Nora O'Donnell Brett Bear, whoever leading journals

4:31

gets to sit down with the President to bring that up at

4:33

this point. But it's a decent cognitive

4:35

test. Look, mister Biden,

4:37

and I know this goes back a couple of years, but um,

4:40

you told a story in which you, um,

4:43

you told the American people are certainly related,

4:45

that you would regularly get

4:47

into bent rusty

4:51

razor fights. Right? Did

4:53

that actually occur? How often? Yeah?

4:56

How often did you slash someone

4:58

or were slash buy them? And there was so

5:01

much benefit to the blade being rusty.

5:03

Oh yeah, again, a more jagged

5:05

and grievous wound that would be slower to heel.

5:08

That's the key. Remember the straight race. You could

5:10

bang them on the curl and

5:12

then you were so and you were so ensconced

5:14

in that community. You felt like

5:16

you could say to a crowd of people, you remember

5:19

when you used to including

5:21

a large contingent of children, that

5:23

you would get a lot of nodding heads. Oh yeah, we know what

5:25

you're talking about. Oh please, the bent rusty

5:27

blade. Yes, sir, mister Prasident, I

5:30

remember that kid. You used to come

5:32

up and reaching the pole and rub my

5:34

leg down, so I was traded and

5:36

that watched the hair come

5:38

back up again. Sure, and

5:41

then then the unfortunate incident

5:43

with Cornpop. Of course corn

5:45

Pop was a bat dude, that's what they

5:48

say. The all part of that same

5:50

bizarre who

5:53

was who wrote to Alison Wonderland

5:56

Carol that weird

5:58

Alison Wonderland surreal

6:01

rant of his I

6:03

got Harry Legs. Yeah, all

6:06

right, anyway, where were we are? Yeah, Jack and

6:08

I almost got into a knife fight over the

6:10

significance of the Virginia guvernatorial

6:13

race. I say it is significant

6:16

for the very reason Jack,

6:18

who's starting to talk about Terry

6:21

mccauliffe has angered

6:23

the suburban moms that the

6:25

Democratic Party depends on by

6:28

embracing some of the more radical and awful

6:30

aspects of the social

6:34

justice, woke, critical race theory

6:36

crap, and people who are not news

6:38

junkies are slowly waking

6:40

up to wait a minute, they're teaching they're

6:42

teaching my kids that in school, and

6:45

the gender bending stuff too, which is all kind

6:47

of you know, similar. Anyway,

6:52

where were we I asked, you know, as long as we're

6:54

talking about this, do you have

6:56

a players clip sixty seven?

6:59

Michael, this is a mom once again in

7:01

Loudon County, Virginia. My

7:04

children are now in private school in our thriving

7:06

We had specifically moved into a fast out

7:08

of LCPS due to the swift and uncompromising

7:11

political agenda of Superintendence WILLIAMS.

7:13

Ziegler and the school board that

7:16

have forced upon us. First, it was in early

7:18

spring of twenty twenty when my six year old Somberley

7:20

came to me and asked me if she was born evil

7:23

because she was a white person, something

7:25

she learned in a history lesson at school. Then

7:27

you kept the schools closed for a year and a half despite

7:29

the science indicating that it was safe for kids to return,

7:32

And now you've covered up a rate, then arrested,

7:34

humiliated and falsely accused her parents of being

7:36

domestic terrorists. I wish I could return

7:38

my kids to LCPS. Private schools expensive,

7:41

and I want my kids to be able to walk home from school

7:43

with their friends in their own community. I

7:45

refuse to allow you to destroy our

7:47

schools. They are not your schools,

7:50

they are our schools. You all should

7:52

be ashamed, and you should have the moral courage

7:54

to admit you are wrong and stepped down. And

7:57

while I agree the coverage of political

8:00

races is often you

8:02

know the reporters and the commentators.

8:05

They see it all through the prism of their

8:07

own beliefs in the way they see the world,

8:09

and it's often distorted. But I would point

8:11

out the political press

8:13

of the United States of America lives

8:16

there. They all live

8:18

there right there, and not only Virginia,

8:20

but northern Virginia, Loudon County, in Fairfax

8:22

County, and so they're they're into

8:25

this. Yeah, and I think it means

8:27

a lot to people who live there. I don't

8:29

think it means anything to me. But the

8:32

guy that is likely to win today's thing,

8:34

you know, it's funny. I gotta stop you. I keep you

8:37

refuse to confront any of my arguments. For

8:39

instance, parents are waking

8:41

up to the fact that progressive schools

8:43

are perverse and sick, and

8:45

this is a sign of that. Yeah,

8:48

in that county where they were teaching, you know, whatever

8:51

they're particularly teaching in that school, the parents

8:53

are not happy with it. If they're teaching that

8:55

in your school, then maybe you won't be happy with it.

8:57

If they're not teaching that in your school, it doesn't have anything

8:59

to do with you. They're teaching it in a

9:01

vast majority of public schools in America,

9:03

it's everywhere. The teachers unions are four

9:05

square behind it. So

9:08

this Terry mcculloff guy, the Democrat, he

9:10

had been going around for weeks,

9:13

actually for months, talking

9:15

about the number of children that we're getting coronavirus.

9:18

So he's a big mask mandate, vaccine

9:20

mandate guy, and his opponent,

9:22

the Republican, is not. And

9:25

of course he extrapolated that, as everybody

9:27

does in mainstream media all the time,

9:30

that if you're against mandates, you're against

9:32

the masks and the vaccines. Right. No,

9:35

I wear a mask and got the vaccine,

9:38

but I don't think the government should be able to make

9:40

me do that. Those are completely different

9:42

things. Anyway,

9:45

Terry mcculliff would go around quoting all

9:47

these numbers. Today, we had eleven hundred children

9:49

in hospitals here in Virginia

9:51

in intensive care, he said a couple of days

9:53

ago. A week before that, he said, we had four

9:55

thousand cases yesterday in the Commonwealth of Virginia,

9:58

eleven hundred and forty two children serious

10:00

hospital ICU beds. And so

10:02

the Washington Post gave him

10:05

beyond the shadow of the doubt, beyond

10:07

the the shadow of doubt that they would have ever given a Republican

10:09

by contacting the campaign and saying, hey,

10:12

yeah, those numbers aren't correct. I mean they're not

10:14

even close to right. I mean

10:16

you're giving numbers that are like how

10:18

many we've had over the entire pandemic

10:20

and acting like it was just this past weekend,

10:22

and they said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we misspoke, and

10:25

then they would go and then he would go and say it again.

10:27

And this happened like how many times

10:29

do I have here? Six? Seven times?

10:31

So the Washington Post just kept giving

10:34

them a chance to clean up their messaging,

10:36

and they finally wouldn't, and then finally the Washington

10:39

Post just had to straight

10:41

out say McCullough

10:44

frequently touts numbers, wrong numbers

10:46

about the impact on children from coronavirus.

10:48

When we first asked the mccull off campaign about

10:50

this, we were told as a slip of the tongue, Okay, we

10:52

understand that, And so he passed on the fact check

10:55

and then his tongue just kept slipping. So

10:57

he earns four pinocchios, four

10:59

pinocchios, which means flat

11:01

out lie. He's just going

11:04

around to people and just flat

11:06

out lying about the number of kids

11:08

are getting COVID over and

11:11

over and over again. What

11:13

that says to me is and and then this has been

11:15

a theme of mine for a long time now, is I

11:17

think the smart politicians have figured out,

11:20

my people aren't going to read the fact checker

11:22

in the Washington Post. They're on my side.

11:25

They're not going to look at Fox News, who's gonna

11:27

point out that I'm lying. They're on my side,

11:30

and my side's not gonna call me on it. So I'm

11:32

okay, And I think that's what I think. What unfortunately,

11:35

I think that's what smart politicians are figuring out.

11:37

You can say whatever you want to your crowd.

11:40

I think he crossed the line.

11:42

Though, if he crossed the line to the point

11:44

that the liberal Washington Post gives

11:46

him a hammering that severe,

11:49

you know, I think he's he's his hubris

11:52

has led him to step over the line. You should

11:54

not be able to get away with just flat

11:56

out making stuff up. But prior to

11:58

the Internet, how often did this happen?

12:01

Always? I'm guessing where politicians

12:03

just made crap up. I mean, back

12:05

in the day, you went and heard a politician speak

12:07

and they hit you with you know, forty blank.

12:10

People are starving or whatever. It had

12:12

no way to look up those statistics. You

12:14

wouldn't have had the slightest idea how to confirm that,

12:17

right, It had to go to you, like your I

12:19

don't know you're downtown

12:21

library and try to bring up some Bureau

12:23

of Labor statistics. I don't even know how you would

12:25

have fact checked it back in the day. Now everybody

12:27

can google it, right right? You know. The

12:29

other big line that he's perpetrating, back to my favorite

12:32

theme, Oh my gosh, we didn't need to take a break. I keep this

12:34

short, is that he is claiming critical

12:36

race theory is not taught in Virginia.

12:38

It's never been taught in Virginia.

12:41

Well, too bad. They went to the website

12:43

of the Virginia Department of Education,

12:46

which includes a presentation from twenty

12:49

fifteen, when McCullough was governor that

12:51

encourages teachers to embrace critical race

12:53

theory in order to re engineer attitudes

12:55

and belief systems. And then they go into a

12:58

great deal of detail about how teachers

13:00

should embrace critical race

13:02

theory, queer theory, all sorts of critical theory

13:05

things, and all teachers must

13:07

do that in the classroom right there at the Virginia

13:10

Department of Education. So oh,

13:12

and he's saying, anybody who claims that it's being taught

13:14

as a dog whistle, it's racial, it's

13:16

divisive, it's it's racism. Really

13:18

to even bring this up, because it's never

13:21

been caught in Virginia except

13:23

by your Department of Education's website

13:25

that says it's essential the teachers

13:28

embrace it. You lying liar.

13:30

Yeah, well, I'd hate to see a liar get rewarded,

13:33

but it happens all the time. Yeah. Yahoo.

13:37

The company has pulled out of China

13:39

because they said the environment's just too

13:41

bad from a business standpoint. I hope that. I

13:43

think that's good news, and I hope that happens a lot more. We

13:45

can touch on that and other things on the way. Stay with

13:47

us, The

14:05

Armstrong and Getty Show. No

14:11

more exploitation of people and

14:13

nature and the planets. No more

14:16

exploitation, No more blah

14:18

blah blah, No more what they're

14:20

doing inside there? Whoa

14:25

bombs? That was little Greta.

14:27

She's all grown up now she's dropping

14:30

f bombs and they grew up so fast. She's

14:32

an adult now, right, she's eighteen? Yes,

14:34

sir, arguably

14:36

an adult. You're stealing

14:38

my child blah blah blah

14:40

blah blah blah. You've stolen my childhood,

14:43

my dreams. How dare

14:45

you? How dare you? How dare

14:48

you? Your empty words?

14:50

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. It's

14:52

a living Greta media hits

14:54

Glasgow as Swedish teen is mobbed

14:57

upon arrival for the Big Climate summit.

15:01

Right, several police officers escorted her

15:03

away. I believe I

15:06

believe she had her moment as a lot of child

15:09

stars, do you know they

15:11

they're they're cute on the sitcom as a child star,

15:13

and then they try to move into adult movies and

15:17

it just doesn't work out. Um, back

15:20

to COVID briefly, just because we got this and you

15:23

might be in this situation or your kid or a family

15:25

member. So if you get

15:27

the COVID, when do you get to go back to school or back

15:29

to work. Well, some places are demanding you

15:31

get a negative test, and I was told you

15:33

can't come back and told the number X

15:35

number of days after you get a negative test. This

15:38

is from a infection prevention nurse

15:42

just tuned in. But if you're waiting for a negative result,

15:44

after having COVID. Good luck, you'll

15:46

shed for months. If that is what your employer

15:49

or your school or whoever is looking for, well that's

15:51

not what the rest of the world is doing. So

15:54

wow, you

15:56

know, I just read a piece in The Atlantic that

15:58

I was going to bring to y'all's attention. But

16:00

of course it was as long as moby dick. But

16:02

the point of this editorial, and it was it was

16:05

really well written and very very thorough,

16:07

was that we have no

16:10

plan for resuming

16:12

normalcy in the

16:14

period of endemicity. I think

16:17

they say when COVID is just part of life,

16:19

it's like the flu or whatever. There is

16:21

no plan, There is no standard,

16:24

there is no test, there is no percentage.

16:27

Every single county in America is different.

16:29

Some of them make no sense. And

16:31

they pointed out that those with the lowest

16:33

vaccination rates have the loosest standards.

16:35

I'm looking at you, Idaho and Montana, and those

16:37

with the very dhighest vaccination

16:40

rates have the very tightest standards, even

16:42

though that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Well,

16:44

some of you maybe have run into this. Get you get

16:46

into a trap really fast,

16:49

and I don't want to get myself in trouble with any of my

16:51

many employers or schools or anything like that.

16:53

But you have various standards, Like I said

16:55

that of getting a negative test, which according to

16:57

this infection prevention nurse, is impossible

17:00

for months after you get the COVID. What are you gonna do? Pull

17:02

your kid out of school for months or stay home from months

17:04

or and then you've got the standard

17:06

of I was told this by someone will

17:08

remain nameless. Well if you if your kid

17:10

had COVID and you were near your kid, then you

17:13

can't come in within two months. Well, now my kid

17:15

is near me who's had COVID

17:17

because he could get it again, and so he can't

17:19

go to school. If I'm I mean, well, how

17:21

are you supposed to make this work? You can't get babysitters

17:24

when you've got COVID or I mean, what are you supposed

17:26

to do? God forbid, your uncle should drop by

17:28

with a pizza, then he's been exposed and your poor

17:31

auntie has got to stay home from her work. Yeah, yeah,

17:33

exactly. If you followed all those rules, we

17:35

would all be staying home all the time. Unreal.

17:38

So, ye who has pulled out of China? What

17:40

does it mean? Inflation. More

17:42

to come, don't go away

18:03

see Armstrong and Getty show I've

18:08

been. Over the years,

18:11

there have been some very popular TV shows

18:13

starting black people. These shows

18:15

share archetypal black characters include

18:18

these social outcasts who assembilate or

18:21

perform like Carlton

18:23

Banks, Steve Burke.

18:25

Wow, you guys, you got some real as

18:28

people. White people love these

18:30

dudes everything from the way

18:32

they dress, way they talk, you

18:34

are man, even the way

18:36

they dance. It's also god

18:38

threatened James Sprulocker. We called him

18:40

two because with him he go two for one. He's a black guy on

18:43

a Harvard guy. These characters have come

18:45

to be known by the term acceptable negro.

18:47

The acceptable negro is a black

18:50

character who have his white characteristics,

18:54

who makes white people feel comforable. The

18:58

acceptable negro is

19:00

a white man's creation. Okay,

19:02

that's more from Colin Kaepernick's Netflix

19:05

series that he's got going on about the acceptable

19:08

negro in television. Ah,

19:11

so those are white characteristics? What

19:13

are black?

19:16

So? Because I probably shouldn't use that word he just

19:18

used half a dozen times. Ah, what

19:20

are black characteristics? Colin? I

19:23

mean, do explain. Well,

19:25

there are a lot of white

19:28

characters and television over the years that have been

19:31

you know, dress a certain way, dance, a certain

19:33

way to act, a certain way to be, and

19:36

then other ones that were awful

19:38

and dangerous. Since I don't I don't know a

19:40

little of both, and I don't

19:42

know. Yeah,

19:44

yeah, well you generally look what you're find,

19:47

you find what you're looking for. Rather it's

19:49

it's still it's still interesting that

19:52

this guy, Colin Kaepernick has decided

19:54

to do with this with his life now. Like I said

19:56

yesterday, he announced last

19:58

week he's working out every more. He gets up at like

20:00

five thirty in the morning and works out like crazy. So in case

20:02

an NFL team wants him to be quarterback, he is ready

20:05

to go. But he's clearly, having

20:07

received about thirty nine million dollars

20:09

from the NFL so far various teams, he's

20:12

decided to dedicate his life to racial

20:14

issues, which is which is fine. Yeah,

20:17

I mean, if his methods

20:20

and beliefs weren't so noxious, I

20:22

would admire it. I just think

20:24

he's young, naive

20:27

and wrong about a lot of things. But

20:30

he's you know, he's made sacrifices to do what he

20:32

thinks it's right. I mean, he kind of have to admire

20:34

that although Nike's paying him buttloads

20:37

of money, so they appear enlightened and

20:39

get to cover up for the whole Chinese

20:41

slaves thing right

20:44

right, So yeah, it's an unholy stu Oh,

20:47

speaking of racial issues, give me the president.

20:49

He is the president. Heil does the chief. These

20:52

new Jim Crow laws are

20:54

just anathetical to who we are. This

20:57

makes Jim Crowe look like Jim

20:59

Eagle. Come for

21:01

the grotesque hyperbole

21:05

and diminishing the horrors of a previous

21:07

era, and stay for the incoherence.

21:09

Who is Jimmy Eagle? Anyway? I

21:12

love this headline. Los Angeles

21:14

requires more ID to enter a building

21:16

than Georgia does to absentee vote.

21:20

City of Los Angeles recently released strict

21:22

proof of vaccination rules requiring photo

21:24

ID, and they appear to be tougher than George's

21:27

voter ID laws approved earlier. This

21:29

Month's led to go into effect next month. The

21:31

rules for being allowed to enter an indoor

21:33

portion of a covered location in

21:36

Los Angeles will be as follows. Then

21:38

they define what a covered location is. Proof

21:40

of vaccination for each patron who appears to

21:42

be eighteen years of age or older. Photo

21:45

identification or driver's

21:47

license that sort of thing or passport, so

21:49

you have to show your vaccine papers and the photo

21:51

ID. Just to walk into a building,

21:54

even if you have natural immunity to

21:57

the fou she hot and

21:59

so our bat fever. Unbelievable.

22:03

That is that Jim Crow on steroids

22:05

or Nazi Germany. You're

22:08

anything, just to walk into

22:10

a building in La dang it. I'll be glad when

22:12

this is all over. Oh

22:14

my god. Can you imagine

22:17

someday this is gonna be over and

22:19

you just go wherever you're gonna go, without a mask

22:21

or a thought or anything. And you know,

22:24

I wonder if you're gonna get a disease. It's gonna

22:26

you know, cause you all kinds of problems every

22:29

single day of your life. You know.

22:31

I don't think

22:33

that's right. I think it's gonna

22:35

be around for a very long time, varying

22:38

levels of immunity, you

22:40

know, a different variants, vaccines

22:43

that wear off after a while, and whether

22:47

it averages out to like

22:49

a really mild flu season or severe's

22:52

flu season or even worse than that, I

22:54

don't know. But the medical

22:56

authorities I think a reasonable saying no, that's gonna

22:58

be around pretty much for ever. Now what

23:02

effect it'll have, that's the question. And

23:04

I don't have the slightest idea. Well as

23:06

a fully vaccinated person who got the sickest

23:08

they've ever been in their life. I'm very unhappy

23:10

to hear that. Yeah,

23:13

yeah, we

23:15

mentioned this earlier. Joe has more comment on

23:17

this, and I don't want to hear about it. Yahoo

23:20

has pulled out of China,

23:22

citing a business

23:25

atmosphere, business climate that was just too difficult

23:28

at this point with their censorship rules and all that sort

23:30

of stuff. I'm really excited about the idea

23:32

that major companies decouple

23:34

from China. I hope that inevitably, either

23:37

because the Chinese make it so difficult for him, or

23:39

because of public pressure at home, you

23:42

just have to pull out

23:44

of China. I'm hoping that happens for everybody. Altho, no

23:46

how that would work for my Apple phone. They

23:49

start making them on Kentucky, they're gonna cost three thousand

23:51

dollars a piece. Well, as I've verged for

23:53

a very long time, you gotta somehow educate

23:56

up the population South and Central America

23:58

and make them there. But that's you

24:00

know, that's going to be a multi decade process.

24:03

Probably so.

24:05

First, it is significant part second

24:07

well known US technology firm to downsized

24:10

China operations in less than a month, following

24:13

LinkedIn, which is a Microsoft corporation,

24:16

which did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Says

24:19

the Yahoo spokeshole quote. In

24:21

recognition of the increasingly challenging business

24:23

and legal environment in China, Yahoo's suite

24:25

of services will no longer be available from

24:27

China as of November. First, Yahoo

24:30

remains committed to the rights of our users in a free

24:32

and open internet. We thank our users for their

24:34

support, then the Wall Street Journal rights.

24:36

The China departure was largely symbolic,

24:39

as Yahoo had already been begun

24:41

shutting down its main services such as

24:43

email, news and community services

24:45

in China starting in twenty thirteen.

24:48

Still, Yahoo's exit as a reminder of the increasing

24:51

challenges foreign companies face in operating

24:53

in China, as the nation's regulators

24:55

have tightened the reins on data security, privacy,

24:58

and internet content this year.

25:00

They want all the data the Chinese communists

25:03

too. They don't want these tech companies to have

25:05

any of it. Well, and you

25:07

combine that with the fact that um

25:09

the chairman she has absolutely

25:12

shown his true colors in recent months. As we've

25:14

been discussing he's an actual communist.

25:17

He a, yeah, he's

25:19

used the running dogs of capitalism to

25:21

enrich the communist regime. But

25:24

the minute he decided, yeah, okay,

25:26

now we're rich, we're a player. This is good.

25:28

Now we're gonna start choking

25:30

it down, well no, he he doesn't think it'll

25:32

choke it out. We're gonna start grabbing

25:35

control of it and harnessing

25:37

it to the communist will. But

25:39

little does he know that'll choke his economy

25:41

to death. Eventually

25:45

read a book, Winnie the Pooh.

25:48

Well he's blinded by ideology, as

25:50

so many people are. So. Facebook still

25:52

operates in China, right, yes it does?

25:54

Yea Google of course? Yeah,

25:58

yeah, Nike, we all know the NBA

26:01

and the Olympics are going to be there in ninety days,

26:04

which I just I can't wait to see how

26:06

this is going to unfold. The

26:10

loyal sportscasters on NBC. I

26:12

assume NBC has it. What euphemisms

26:15

are they going to use? Are they just going to ignore

26:17

everything? Are they gonna

26:19

like try to touch on it with a phraser

26:21

too? Of course there are troubling

26:24

aspects to China's domestic policy.

26:26

But today we get together

26:28

to celebrate sport and then just move

26:31

on. Well, it's not like that. A lot of the Olympics

26:33

have been a life forever and we

26:35

all just ignored it or didn't know it. But

26:37

are they are you still going to be able to pull that off?

26:41

You know, look at the Olympic team, look

26:44

at the Chinese Olympic team marching in And

26:47

how many Americans know at this point? Yeah,

26:49

those little girls the gymnast they got snatched

26:51

from their parents arms at a young age and put

26:54

in some sort of camp where they were forced

26:56

to compete in just brutal conditions

27:00

until you're you know, too injured to compete, and then you get

27:02

thrown out and you're no good to anybody anymore,

27:04

and you get the next cute little girl. And

27:06

just are they

27:08

gonna hide all that? Is? NBC

27:10

gonna go out of the way there, whoever has it go out of their way to

27:13

hide that stuff like they have for years? Oh

27:15

they will one hundred percent. I think

27:17

the rest of the media, including people

27:19

like us, we're much more hip to what's

27:22

going on and much more willing to say it. You

27:24

know, I hate to see something that seemed

27:27

as cool as the Olympics get toused like this.

27:29

But it just I mean,

27:31

from the perspective of a lot of the athletes, it

27:33

is really really cool and amazing.

27:36

Well, the reality of it's pretty grubby. The last

27:39

Chinese Olympics Beijing, somebody looked that

27:41

up, Alex in the newsroom, look that up two thousand

27:43

and eight. Is that right? But you know even

27:46

that even that recently, I

27:48

won't know. That's some amazing opening ceremony.

27:50

They had the most amazing opening ceremony anybody'd

27:52

ever seen. Well, now I think enough

27:54

people are on board with the fact. Yeah,

27:56

they've been stealing from the rest

27:59

of the world for decades, just

28:01

absolutely thieving from

28:03

us, like hitting us over the head and robbing

28:05

us in the night. So yeah, they do have a lot

28:07

of money to spend on their opening ceremonies.

28:10

I mean, who's gonna o and add that. Well,

28:12

and they did a wonderful job of lining up

28:15

volunteers who were willing to work

28:17

very very hard to pull that off. To me, the

28:19

more amazing their opening ceremony

28:21

is this time around, the more sickening it

28:24

will be. Look how much cash they've

28:26

got to throw around from stealing

28:28

from the free world for all these years.

28:30

And are they gonna have Taiwan's

28:33

Republic of China or whatever they call it, march

28:35

in there and everybody's just going

28:38

to ignore that whole story. Yes, under

28:40

the Olympic flag. Yes, I don't

28:42

think it's gonna work that way. This year might,

28:45

but I think the late night comics and a lot

28:47

of the rest of the media, I think they're gonna be pointing

28:49

out the hypocrisy left and right.

28:51

I think this is gonna be a real turn

28:55

for China and the Olympics. I hope so. I

28:57

hope so too. And don't forget as you're listening,

28:59

China's ends that they and now this

29:01

is absolutely undeniably clear, they

29:04

pretended to be desirous

29:08

of joining the world, the community. They

29:10

pretended to be moving into a modern

29:12

era and multinational law understanding

29:15

and treaties and that sort of thing, knowing full

29:17

well stating, you know, behind

29:19

the scenes that this is fraud. We are going

29:22

to job the West into helping

29:24

us grow till we can achieve supremacy.

29:27

It's you know, the the hundred year Marathon or

29:29

the thousand year plan or whatever. So yeah,

29:31

they are absolutely duplicitous,

29:36

deceitful, thieving enemy

29:39

China. That's a that's

29:41

more, you know, brief way to put it. I

29:43

don't know. And again,

29:45

it's only eighty some days from now, um,

29:49

the Winter Games in China, the

29:51

most evil country on Earth and the

29:54

threat to the freedom of mankind

29:56

for the next one thousand years. Why

30:00

are we why are we cheering? Excuse

30:04

me? Why are we all standing? What are we clapping

30:06

for? Again? Well, and you're not gonna

30:09

hear any of you a chance the USA from the stands either,

30:11

because there's all Chinese citizens in the stands.

30:13

What the hell? I don't know, it's weird.

30:16

What are we just? Let's let's hold the

30:18

alternate Games, the Free World

30:20

Games. There you go, there's my billion dollar idea.

30:22

I'd like to be on the board. Please. I'm not prepared

30:25

to do any real work, but I'd like to be on the board

30:28

the Free World Games. And anybody

30:31

who doesn't abide by some fairly

30:34

lacks international norms, you're

30:36

not invited. China.

30:39

Take a hike some of your more

30:41

oppressive you know, North

30:43

Korea with your

30:46

twenty two starving athletes who are afraid of

30:48

getting beaten if they don't win. Iran executing

30:51

soccer players and such. No, you're not welcome.

30:54

Go to hell. Have your own stupid oppressive

30:56

games. We don't want you China. Bye

30:59

bye, the stupid oppressive

31:01

games. Right. Free

31:04

World Games come on in everybody,

31:06

high five, enjoy it. Let's let the athletes

31:08

have at it. Cheer for your team. We'll

31:11

all apart his friends at the end. But

31:13

no freaking comies, no fundamentalist

31:16

lunatics from the Middle East. Free World Games.

31:20

Well, I'm at home because I got the COVID.

31:22

My pugs in the backyard barking at a squirrel,

31:24

so I suppose I ought'll let them back in. Boy

31:26

Backsy went berserk last night, and

31:29

I was thinking, what the hecks going on? Grab the

31:31

flashlight. He's out back and

31:33

and it was an opossum. An

31:35

opossum. Yes, I had

31:38

to point out to him, dude, dude,

31:41

they did. They don't do anything, and they

31:43

if they play dead, I mean,

31:45

they're a nothing. They're a big nothing. I

31:47

grant you. They're like a gigantic rat. They'll freak

31:49

you out here. Let me show you a picture in a book. It's

31:51

a possum. We'll be fine. He's

31:54

barking like there is a lion back there about to everybody's

31:57

guts out of their bellies. It'll be fine.

31:59

Backsy, oh

32:02

man, I drove to the corvirus

32:06

coronavirus. Thank you, Cardie

32:08

B. I stay with us. Our text line is four one five

32:11

to nine five kftc Armstrong

32:14

and Getty,

32:30

The Armstrong and Getty Show. You

32:35

got hungry in the middle of the night and I

32:37

eat all your henging candy. I

32:40

fight you're all the diet. Come

32:44

on, you

32:48

know he told me to do it. Jimmy

32:51

Kimmel. Yeah, bad

32:53

guy, baby, he

32:55

did. I did dial we are You're

33:00

gonna get diarrhea. So that's a time

33:02

honored Jimmy Kimmel. Bet he does on his show where

33:04

he has parents tell their kids that they ate

33:06

all their Halloween candy. Nah.

33:09

Betrayals of trust a well spring

33:11

of comedy. Yeah,

33:13

I'm not cool with that as a especially

33:16

for kids that little maybe like my nine

33:18

year old, but not the tiny

33:20

little kids that are gonna immediately nah.

33:23

Of course you pointed out kids don't really form

33:25

lasting memories at three,

33:28

at least not very much, so you know

33:30

you get on TV, you get a little famous,

33:32

you get a bunch of likes on Facebook, and your

33:34

kid is scarred for a while. I

33:36

thought you're on a One kid said, I thought you were

33:38

on a diet. The kids said,

33:40

you're gonna get diarrhea. There you go,

33:43

and the other kid called his mama. We don't

33:45

know what could have been careful,

33:47

Lara Jr. Of course you

33:50

asked word mom. You

33:52

probably are of whatever he said. I'll

33:54

tell you what we were talking earlier about the wait

33:56

and whatnot, which I think like ninety

33:59

five percent of think about on a daily

34:01

basis what we can eat and wait and stuff like

34:03

that. Um, having Halloween candy

34:05

around is not helpful, especially

34:08

in the tiny amounts. I mean the little bag

34:10

of M and m's. You see that there and you think what six

34:12

M and m's gonna do? Hurt me? You

34:15

do that three or four times a day. Um,

34:19

I'm just gonna run through a bunch of stuff. Here, Oh,

34:22

next hour, hour three, And if you ever miss

34:24

an hour of the Armstrong and Getty Show, you can grab it out

34:26

on the podcast at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Laura

34:29

Ingram of Fox is doing a little thing on the

34:31

West Coast and homelessness and

34:33

all that sort of stuff. We'll have a couple of clips

34:36

of that that are that are pretty good, particularly

34:38

around the question of how many the homeless are

34:40

on drugs. We've

34:42

talked about a lot, but

34:45

for this segment, just to hit on

34:47

a bunch of things so I can delete them from

34:50

my phone. Well,

34:52

and because they will fascinate and entertain

34:54

you. Yes, yes, they will absolutely

34:57

fascinating and entertain They're on my phone because they're

34:59

fascinating and entertaining to start with. There you

35:01

go. I just want to make that clear. Yeah,

35:04

Tim Sanderford retweeted somebody who said

35:06

Democrats aren't asking for much. All

35:09

they want in return for your vote is control

35:11

of your medical decisions, your child's

35:13

education, your language, your money,

35:16

your ability to move freely in public, your

35:18

universities, your business, and the economy.

35:21

Wow. Yeah, amen

35:23

to that. That is pretty good. If only

35:25

the Republican Party was a little better at

35:28

their jobs. Mike

35:33

Pence was at some event in Iowa City,

35:36

which why is Mike Pence in

35:38

Iowa? Most people think because

35:40

he's gonna run for president Because it's beautiful

35:43

this time of year, and he's laying the groundwork

35:45

for that anyway. So

35:48

somebody he's doing one of those town hall you

35:50

know, and asking questions, answering questions

35:52

sort of things, and somebody said, what is the name of the person

35:54

who told you to buck President Trump's plan and

35:56

certify the votes? And his reply

was James Madison. They got

36:01

some laughs and some applause from the audience.

36:04

That's pretty good answer, it is. I

36:07

think somebody was trying to stick it to him, like here's

36:09

some sort of secret Democrat who didn't

36:11

certify to vote for Trump, who told you

36:13

that was okay? James Madison.

36:17

That's the father of the Constitution. If you don't remember

37:04

the person who talks to the president every

37:06
