Speaker 1: Joe Biden respects government. He respects people who disagree with that. He listens to them. I think that Joe Biden is going to train us to see the world diffinitely. He plans to asher in a new era of hope and the action he's promising. The minute he takes office, we've gone from indecency to decency. He filled that empathy void. There was not one part of that that wasn't just medicine in the wound. Those lights that are that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool. I look, it's like almost extensions of Joe Biden's arms embracing America. It was a moment where the new president came to town. A little of the uh fawning over by none day one. That stuff is just commentary. It's annoying, but I expect that. But oh my god, when they when they actually had his you know, his his press person up there answering questions and all the questions, where when does the new dog get there? Or you know what, what what what paintings do you plan to put on the walls. It's all crapped like that, and nobody asked any question like Hey, you just um, you just decided to stop building the wall. We got a caravan coming. What's your plan for doing that? We have twenty million illegal immigrants in the country. How are we going to stop that from growing? Or any any critical questions on anything. It was all just puff piece stuff, and I hope that doesn't continue. Okay, that was day one, or maybe you get a pass on day one, but I hope that doesn't continue. Right They they they are original or i'm sorry, allegedly our watchdogs, the media, And to hear him slobbering like that over the new administration is really kind of troubling. Meanwhile, you have Joe Biden, who is a lot of the things they said. He's famously a nice fella. Everybody loves him on Capitol Hill. He's an amiable, go along to get along, compromiser, dealmaker, backslapper, bit of a hair sniffer. But nobody's perfect, and I think I think he's a decent guy. On the other hand, he is famously I don't want to say a little dim. He is so congenial and flexible. He lets really bad stuff happen on his watch sometimes. And a great example of this is the critical theory thing that we've been talking about. Critical some people say critical race theory, but it's a little more than that. But Chris Ruffo, he's a journalist and a writer, he tweeted this the other day. Well, it was. It was because one of the things Biden did on day one in the office was he struck down President Trump's ban on teaching on doing critical race seminars. If you're an employee of the federal government. Oh my god, yeah, this is the If you are white, you are racist, You're born racist. America is a racist country, and if you resist any of our changes, it's because you're a racist. If you deny your racist, it's proof you're a racist. Right, let me just let me get to what Chris Ruffo said. Then there's something you really really need to understand about this and why it's so incredibly insidious. So Chris Ruffo tweeted, and we're looking for a conversation with Chris. He's a busy guy right now. But today President Biden doubled down on critical race theory in the federal government. In response, I am announcing a new coalition of legal foundations and private attorneys that will wage relentless legal warfare against race theory in America's institution. The fight is on, and I would point out the most troubling part of this is this racist, hateful, corrosive garbage is being taught to our little kids and our high schoolers and our college kids. And I do think we have a fighting chance on this because I think educating the public about what it is is part of the problem. As we saw in the debate, Chris Wallace didn't know what critical race theory was. Trump kind of new Biden had no idea. Right. A lot of people who are supporting of it, are supporting it don't know what it is. They just think, oh, well, we're just you know, it's like your sexual harassment training. You take it work. Don't sexual harass people, right, don't be a racist, don't be a race The critical mass of critical theory is the common folks, And you're right, Jack, and a lot of well meaning people, especially white people, they have bought the labels that the critical theory people employ racist or anti racist. Here's what you have to understand, and some of you do already, And I would encourage you bother your friends about this, bore them at dinner if we ever are allowed to dine with friends again. This stuff came from the sixties and it was a bunch of just academic agitators who wanted to tear everything down. They didn't want to build anything. It was just like a mental intellectual exercise. But it kind of caught on. And the idea is this America or the Western civilization is racist. Okay, it was built by on racism. Every aspect of it is racist by definition. And when we the woke left, want to change anything, and it can be anything from the number of justices on the Supreme Court, to the filibuster, to voting systems, to mail in voting, to the designated hitter, to whether you can catch upon your hot dogs. If it came from the racist civilization, it's racist. So if you defend it, you are a racist. So for example, if Joe Getty, if I say, you know, it seems to me having everybody mail out millions of ballots and then millions get mailed back in nobody's sure where they came from or if it was on person vote, that seems like a really that could undermine our republic. Even saying that is racist because I'm defending the institutions of the United States of America, and a certain number of people say, oh god, no, I'm not a racist. I'm sorry, I'll conform, I'll do what you're saying, because they don't understand how they're being manipulated. The other example I like is if you're against universal healthcare, since minorities are disproportionally affected by our current healthcare system, then you're a racist. You can't you can't want to fix the current system. You have to be in favor of the government healthcare plan, for instance, or your opposition of that is not economic or a worldview, it's just racism, well right, And the so called anti racists who are bitter, bitter racists by the way, they portray themselves as unself interested angels, paragons of wisdom and goodness. And if they advocate something like Jack said, you know, socialized medicare for all, for instance, if they advocate it, it is by definition anti racist, and any opposition is by definition racist. And your kids are being taught this garbage in school and being told that if they're white, they're racist, if they're patriots, they're racist, if they're pro cop they're racists. You might think you're not racist, but you are right. And it's so damaging for the white kids and the non white kids because you're telling the kids that aren't white that those other white kids in the class they're racist. They're pretending they're not, or they don't even realize they are. They're racist. Their parents are racists. They secretly hate you, even if they don't realize it. They're trying to keep you down. You should hate them, and you should always, always, always do what we tell you to do. It is a naked power grab, boy, and it's one hundred percent about power and also sending the message that any lack of success in our family or our neighborhood is due to racism. Is right. Oh, that's so awful. That dooms the millions to failure and misery being told from the earliest age you can't possibly succeed because of the white man. Number one. It grants white people who nine percent of us don't give a crap, We want you to succeed. It grants white people like ultimate power, and it takes away power from the individual, which is why individualism is anathema to these people. You are not an individual, You are your race, period. You will vote your race, you will think with your race, you will march in line with your race, or your ethnicity or whatever it is. I mean, seriously, if Hitler and Gebels were here, they'd say, holy cow, you people are good. I never thought of doing it like that. They would admire the hell out of the social justice warrior types. The critical race theory pultn't a thought. You could get it into public schools if you're interested in this topic, and I think it might be one of the more important things going on in the country right now, especially with the new administration. That's you know, pushing it if you're interested in followed James Lindsay on the Twitter. He comments on it daily, picking out the places in America where it's rearing its ugly head, and it is daily. It's just fascinating to see his pushback. Well and listen. I don't tend toward toward over drama. I don't appreciate in other people. I think myself as a realist. But Lincoln most famously, but Washington said similar things. Really, all of our great leaders, so white, black, Hispanic, all of them agree there's no external power that can bring down to the United States not certainly, not in the next hundred years. It's just there's no way. The only way we go away is if we commit suicide. This critical race theory is the suicide. This is the gun to our own temple. I believe that firmly. Um. Do you think Joe Biden understands what it is? I don't think he probably does. No, I don't think he has any idea. I think he's been completely fooled. I think he understands when Mattlocke is on. That's an uncharitable view where we are currently. Just listen to the poem yesterday. I feel like you missed, Sean. That wasn't free speech, that was hate speech. Man to echo another one of their attitudes. A great example of this sort of thing on campus. How insane it's gotten. After a quick word from our friends at car Shield, I remember how it was, especially, you know, when when Judy and I were struggling financially, a big car repair would come. I would have hand us a big car repair and it was devastating. It was disastrous. Don't live in fear like that called car shield. Car shield gives you maximum safety on the road for a low month to month cost they help protect you from expensive car repairs. They could save you a thousands for a covered repair. Yeah. Month to month is the future. The idea of signing up for something and you're stuck with it for a year or two. Though, those days are passed. And that's why car Shield has helped over a million drivers. That's why they're the America's number one auto protection company right now. And you can take your car to your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work. They take care of the rest. They got twenty four seven nationwide roadside assistance of your car is going to be worked on for a while. You can get rental car coverage to at no additional cost. Wow, that's good stuff. Just go to carshield dot com use the code armstrong to save ten percent deductibill may apply carshield dot com. Use the code armstrong one more time. Carshield dot com code armstrong. Wow. I was just thumbed through the news. I know you got more on that critical race theory thing, but we mentioned the TIFA militants smashing up stuff in Portland and Seattle last night. Yeah, and tried in a number of other cities. If you've ever been to Seattle and you're into coffee, you go to the original Starbucks because it's a cool thing doing. It's right by the fish Market, which you were going to go to anyway. But it got smashed up last night. Course historic Original Starbucks smashed all the windows out and everything like that, screaming, chanting. Their chant was f Joe Biden, right, no cops, no prisons, no presidents, F Joe Biden smashed up the Democratic National or the Democratic These are crazy people, and I hope we can all call them out as crazy people now that they're yelling Joe Biden. We've been asking the left to call out the crazies on their side for a very long time. Will it happen now now that you can dare brank or break ranks with some of your leftist brothers because you're not battling the evil, evil trump Man. Society shouldn't have to put up with that. Business owners should not have to put up with getting all their windows smashed out on a regular basis. Arrest them every single g D time, charge them every single time, and punish them every single time. It's simple. It's easy. If I go around smashing stuff, I expect to get busted. You know why, because I ought to be busted. Apparently they're anti coffee and anti fascists, said one smart Alec Twitter follower. But here's a good picture of a big US flag burning. There you go, f Joe Biden burning the US flag. Okay, I hope we stop ignoring that sort of thing. We don't want Biden, we want revenge. Read one sign they were carrying through the streets there. I'm sorry, Jack, must have misheard you. The New York Times said that they were social justice demonstrators, not vengeful extremists. I'm a First Amendment salutist practically, but I swear i'd like to see the New York Times shut down, open up two or three other newspapers. Keep every single person who works that are employed, but under editors who aren't lunatics. That's a funny sentence. I'm a free speech absolutist, but the New York Times needs to be shut down. That's a funny sentence. Well. As a libertarian, I accept that I can't always get what I want. We need to take a break and get to some other stuff when we come back. Text line four one five two nine five KFTC Armstrong, The Armstrong and Getting Show. Did the Simpsons nail another big political moment in America. It's kind of a thing out there on how the Simpsons episodes over the years have predicted the future. They have got another one of those coming up. But has anybody ever gone by a Brinkx truck or you know, one of those big trucks carrying money and not at least flirted with the idea of I can give you drawn out schematics. All the times that I have walked by those things and figured out how I would I could get away with it. That's a weird impulse, isn't it. It's got to be a sense. Everybody does it. I think it's got to be healthy on some level, and we don't act on it. It's like everybody contemplates suicide. At least I'm told by psychologists. If you walk into a bank and you're not casing the joint, I don't think we can be friends. I don't know if I do that as much, but that's certainly the Brinx trucks, and my kids do it too. But a guy pulled it off the other day in the Bronx stole two hundred thousand dollars from a Brinkx worker who was unloading cash from his armored truck. I'm not sure this was the best employee. The private security company worker was removing the sack of money from his truck there in the Bronx two in the afternoon, broad daylight and headed to a nearby bank when a crook pushed him. Well, I pushed him. That's breaking the rules. I didn't know you could push a guy pushed him and grabbed the bag and ran off with it. She just shoved them, grabbed a bag and ran off with it. Two hundred thousand dollars. And that's Brinks. Yeah, I always see him working in pairs. And the guy that pushed him, they say is about five eight one sixty, so it's not even a big guy. Wow. He just shoved the dude as he has unloading the sacks, grabbed one and ran off. That's not very good security. All my plans included, like you know, exploding cigars or or or mannequins or exactly then you sweep around on the right and then melting off my fingerprints. None of them included just shoving a guy and grabbing a bag. Yeah, I remember back in the day when they usually included shootings, those robbings, and that's fair. I'm never gonna hurt no, no no, no, no no. But I've shoved people before. I haven't lately. So now, depending on how the currency was broken down for the two hundred thousand dollars, his getaway bag weighed somewhere between four pounds six ounces and one hundred and ten thousand pounds involving pennies right right, So you gotta calculate that is it wouldn't be a perpetrator ten thousand pounds. Good news, We got an We got an easy two hundred thousand just laying out there for us to take. Bad news. It's pennies. Anyway, I don't catch the guy Armstrong and Getty, the Armstrong and Getty. There's this whole debate around whether or not you root for the success for a president you didn't vote for. I was looking at some of the stories yesterday about former presidents leaving a note in the desk for the incoming president, like happens every four years, and Trump left a note for Biden, and Biden won't comment on it, he said, not until I talked to Trump about it first. But he said it was generous. Generous said that twice, whatever that means. But they did mention that hw Bush, who was a one termer, left a note for Clinton and said, you know, we're all on your side. We're rooting for your success, that sort of thing. And there's this debate around whether or not your root for this should root for the success of the person you didn't vote for. Mitch McConnell famously said I want Barack Obama to be, you know, a failed one term president, and boom. I remember there was an enormous fake outrage once when Rush Limbaugh said he's not rooting for Obama to succeed. Yeah, and I get both sides of the argument. In general, my spirit is I root for all presidents to be successful. On the other hand, obviously it makes sense that if they're successful at implementing policies you don't like, then yeah, why would you root for that? So yeah, you need to define successful honestly. I mean it's such a broad term when if they're successful, they're probably going to get reelected, and generally, if it's not who you voted for, you don't want them to. On the other hand, doctor Fauci is up on Good Morning America. I hope Joe Biden's administration and all the states involved are successful in the getting the one hundred and million vaccinations in the first one hundred days, And if they do, we'll give them full credit. Get that thing out. It's been a disaster so far. Although my skepticism lies in the fact that the problems exist on the state and local levels, state and county levels. Either the plans are dumb or overly woke, or you know, a lot of people are claiming we need more money, but that's what government always claims. And I am very skeptical that some sort of top down federal something or other is going to get a shot in your arm at your county. I hope they're successful in standing up to China. Joe Biden's administration said Iran is not going to get a nuclear bomb under our watch. I hope they're successful at that. So there's a number of things. I hope they're successful. Yeah, I hope they're a miserable failure at instituting critical race theory in our schools and our government, in our lives and our culture. And to that end, you know, I'm gonna switch I don't know. I can't decide which one of these is best to do. There's a move at like that second one a lot. Yeah, there's a move at Harvard. Well, they've already booted congresswoman at least Stephanic from upstate New York. She's a Harvard grad, became the first Ivy leaguer in her family, the first to graduate from college. Indeed, a really wonderful success story. She became a congress person. She's also skeptical of the election results and was one of those people saying, I don't think we ought to certify it. I think she was wrong. But so hard has booted her off of their senior advisory board. So now they have one hundred percent Democrats on their senior advisory board. Indeed, god like that at a university. Yeah, yeah, that's really really good at the institution of ideas, very nice. You can't even lampoon that, you can't, you can't criticize it because it's so obvious. And there's a move among Harvard students to revoke the degrees of any conservative who is this real disputed the election? Well, can you revoke a degree? Does that matter? Can you can you come and suck the knowledge out of my head. I wonder if they can do that. Do they have a machine that does that. They hold you down and suck the knowledge out. Well, it's it's merely a measure of how stupid college students can be, how incredibly unwise they can be. They're all fired up with their latest hot shot professor's ideology, and because they don't have the life experience to know when they've been hoodwinked, they go around spouting the nonsense. But one of the the Fox News guys was going around Harvard asking the students what they thought about revoking degrees clip number fifty six, the Harvard students petitioning to have tech crews and Kaylee mcinanney and Dan Frenshaw's degrees revoked because if their objection to the certification, what do you think about that to have their degrees are voked? Yeah, no, I find it really silly. I definitely don't agree with what they're doing right now in the government, but I think that's a little far because your cancel culture is of course, it's cancel culture and going to be one of the things that makes people too scared to say what they think. To have any sorts of debates that are meaningful. The First Amendment says that you have the rights like freedom of speech. I mean, you won't be persecuted by the federal government. It does not protect you against social punishment. When students come to Harvard and they think they're getting the greatest education in America, are they really just getting one side? Well, definitely, you're getting one side. That's that's true. That's been surprise surprising answers. Yeah. And that's one of the reasons I enjoyed that clips so much is there is some good common sense there. There's youthful foolishness. Um, but virtually every one of them that cherishes the fact that they'll soon have a Harvard degree, and we'll bring it up in every conversation they have for the rest of their life, the idea of having it. Say, they can't go rowing with you because they pulled their hamstring. I was a Harvard roller. But I tell you what, Miami rotator cuff or something up? Yeah? Sure, sure, didn't you have like a Mexican head in your picture anyway? Um, So I thought that was some good, solid common sense. On the other hand, Uh, David Clements is a law prefects professor at New Mexico State University, and he said something about the hypocrisy of decrying political violence if it's only on the other side, and he is now in serious, serious trouble um he has been Well, go ahead, play clip fifty then we'll get into it. But what happened this past Wednesday's not being categorized as a riot with an angry people that have every right to be angry. It's being called insurrection. They're being called an angry mob demagogues. So first of all, I'm offended that this is the email that you're going to send to faculty when you've been largely silent, as cities have burned, people have lost their businesses, homes, Go ahead and do with fifty one. It appears that the university is under a spell of Marxism. The twenty percent of the faculty members out there identify proudly as Marxist. And so what I'm asking for is parody. If you're going to call out violence, call it out, but do it year round. Don't just wait until it's politically convenient due to what happened this past Wednesday. So, of course, wrestling that point of view, he's in the hot seats. Is another professor loved this story, and this is why we're saying earlier, you've got to fight this stuff. They're indoctrinating the kids. Professor Andrew Koppelman of Northwestern I was writing about, Oh, I'm sorry, he's actually writing about Professor Jason Kilbourne at the University of Illinois Marshall School of Law. So evidently the Black Law Students members had advanced a petition against him, and he writes, on January seventh, I voluntarily agreed to talk to one of the Black Law Students Association members who advanced this petition against me around one or one and a half, around hour one or one and a a half of a four hour zoom call that I endured from five pm to nine pm with this young man. He asked me to speculate as to why the dean had not sent me the Black Law Student Association attack letter, and I flippantly responded, I suspect she's afraid if I saw the horrible things set about me in the letter, I would become homicidal. Conversation continued without another hitch for two and a half or three more hours, and we concluded amicably with a promise to talk more later. I would point out that if you're a law school professor and a single student demands to lecture you for four hours and you have to comply, that's the sort of cultural revolution fear that it starts with that say, yeah, are you kidding me? So? Anyway, so again the thing. I think she was afraid I'd become homicidal. He apparently turned around and reported that I was a homicidal threat. Our university's behavior Behavioral Threat Assessment team convened with no evidence of who I am at all, and recommended to my dean that I'd be placed an administrative leave and barred from campus. Having full discretion to implement or reject that recommendation, and knowing me fairly well, having worked with me for quite a while the past four years, my dean decided that I was indeed a homicidal threat. The university cannot possibly suspending bar from campus everyone who uses the occasional violet figure of speech. Such metaphors are common in casual conversation. In context, no reasonable person could take his language literally, assuming, etc. Even if one did take it literally. As statement was a speculation about the dean state of mind, not a statement about his own. This is the modern college campus University of Illinois at Chicago. John Marshall Law School is one of the top law schools in the nation. Harvard, which you're talking about as well. It's Harvard. And though I'm sickened buy the whole elite university thing, I got to recognize they're close to the top in everybody's hearts and minds. This is how crazy it's gotten. The young militants have everybody terrified on the university campuses. It's amazing, amazing. Just while we're on that kind of topic and then we move on to something else. There's a common terror arry on the smashing up windows in Portland and Seattle last night. Here's an article about it in by the mostly peaceful demonstrators my Northwest dot com whatever that is, it's a website. Meanwhile, in Portland, Antifa activists to rearrange the glass and exterior of the Democratic Party headquarters with hammers and spray paint. But there was merely a belated thank you to the party that offered the definitely not domestic terrorists support for the six last six months. That's nice. Rearranged the glass and the painting with hammers. Well, the Democrats gave them cover, gave them comfort, gave them money, ignored palettes full of bricks being shipped about that sort of thing. And then like Alex Jones, who are talking about like that a guy who's suspected to be the Q of QAnon. They've said, oh boy, we thought we could contain the lunatics on our side, and turns out we can't. Starbucks and Amazon are going to get into the vaccination business. I don't know where these offers were prior to yesterday, or if there's a reason for that anyway, And lack of storefronts isn't why the vaccination is not getting in arms, is it? Or they're just going to do their own people they're saying, well, I don't know, I got the details coming up in just a second. Joe, Joe, Yes, your vaccination is ready. Many hot latte and jabby arm accept it. Joelan, Joelan, What do you mean Joe? This says Joeling. Can I get this this vaccination? No whip please, no whip cream on this vaccination? Exactly, skinny. Please just look at me. Um And we've got a new track. Star we should be aware of because we got the Olympics coming up. Oh, this chick is fast, she's us seeing Bolt as a girl, and she's an American, which is awesome. Oh wait a minute, Yeah, I'm really excited about that. All on the way, the Armstrong and Getty show Cheetos is announced. Actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will star and it's new Super Bowl commercial, which is as of now, the biggest news story in the Biden presidency. So the vaccinations in Washington. They're getting to help a Starbucks to try to get the vaccine out faster using their unbelievable logistic, labor deployment, all the stuff that they're so good at with all their locations, some of their their their expertise is going to go over to the vaccination side in the state and they're going to join in. Probably a pretty good idea. Private sector is really good at that sort of thing. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, getting lots and lots of stuff into neighborhoods is what they do. Yeah. Nationally, Amazon is offered to help Joe Biden. You weren't going to help Trump because I guess you'd get beaten up for helping Trump or just thought of it on inauguration Day, Jack, it happens. And a letter written to Biden dated yesterday, Amazon Worldwide Consumer CEO Dave Clark said a letter to Joe Biden and saying our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against COVID nineteen. We stand ready to assess you in this effort with our fulfillment centers all across the country, our data centers. Blah blah blah blah blah. Although they also said and all Amazon employees should get the vaccine so that we can pull this off, so that that plays a role to a There it is there, it is, well, get to hand it out to a shots as soon as all of our people are taken care of. Right. I had one other thing I want to get to, but I'll do this first. So is it the summer Olympics coming up? I guess if it's the summer, it's probably the Summer Olympics, you genius, And it's in Japan. I think there's some question whether or not it's going to happen. Everybody's been planning on it happening, but with the COVID maybe it will or wore. But I don't know, and I don't even know if this person is going to qualify. But Usain Bolt, remember when he came on the scene and he just was so much faster than everybody else. He became a world fight phenomenon. A household name is a track star. It's hard to pull off. Didn't hurt that his name is Bolt? From another country? Well, this girl, and I'm not Jamaica, it's only kind of a country, not positive. How you pronounce her name? Zia Holman. She is a freshman at the University of Michigan. She was the biggest star in the country in high school and in her first meet yesterday. There is video of this and it's absolutely amazing. And the reason it's getting so much attention and has gone viral on the video thing it's she's running the anchor leg of the four by four hundred her teammates. Now this is the University of Michigan. I got to assume her teammates are no slouches, and they're running against other Division one track athletes. But her teammates have gotten her so far behind. She's like three quarters of a lap behind with the hander baton and she runs around the damn thing and asses everybody and wins the wow And it's just when you watch the video, you think, how can one person be that much faster than the other people when they're all good at this? Right? Yeah? Wow? That so her name was posted at Armstrong and getty dot com. We are we are going to Zia Holman. They ended up winning, and she won her other races, and walking away sort of numbers the way Usain Bolt used to do running backwards doing handstands. Um. They ask her after ross a cartwheel over the finish line. They ask her afterwards um about accomplishing such a comeback, and she said, yeah, I did that all the time in high school. Honestly, that is my thing. Watching it now, that is incredible. It is incredible. First of all, her teammate was already just kind of half jogging while giving her the baton. Is that you, yeah, okay, this is why we're so far behind. But yeah, it's it's interesting that a beast can come along every once in a while, like Tiger Woods. Wasn't golf there at the beginning. Yeah, when everybody's trying as hard as they can, and it's the most very very little separation between you know, the best and second and third half. Every once in a while, one person comes along it's just like way better. Yeah, weird, right, It's like some guy comes along and throws one hundred and thirty mile pro fastball number one. The catcher would be dead, so they would have to deal with that. Just give them an immense min and have a night behind it. That was impressive. Yeah. I look forward to her running in the Olympics and doing that to the Russians. Yes, Merca. Now she didn't and I'm asking this sincerely identify as a fellow last week or anything. No, no, no, there's okay, none of that, because I know nothing about this young woman. Um. I'm just glad she's an American, and I hope she isn't partaking any substances that would make you faster like former female track stars have done that were worldwide sensations and then you found out, oh okay, well you were You were cheating. Is the reason you want all those events. She just likes to hang around the paddock at the horse race track, all right, she knows some vets. They're not jabbing her full of horse. I don't have any reason to think that not no to even speculate would be you know, despicable. Joe Exotics told TMZ he thinks he was just too gay to get pardoned in America. Wasn't ready for that sort of thing, Right, that's bets there you go. That's twenty first century right there. Yep. If you were a straight fellaw a tiger killing, stupid methed up hit man hiring mullet sporting boss who allows employees to lose limbs, multiple boy toy marrying straight guy, well obviously wouldn't have boy. Oh yeah, oh he'd it turns you loose immediately there, Joe, of course, of course. But oh if he can't have a gay fella like you running around. No, if he was doing the same thing with young women that he was doing with young men, he'd never get out of prison under any circumstances. Right yeah, come to think of it, taking advantage of down and out young women. And no, no, no way like Doc Antle, but you know the other guy from Tiger King. Oh hey, this is exciting. We don't have time, but next hour and if you don't get the next hour or whatever, it's just good Armstrong and getty dot com and get the podcast later, they have solved the mystery of jetpack guy around Lax. I love this story, yes, and it is hilarious. There's a visual to it. We will post that at Armstrong and getty dot com as well under hot links. Go look for it in a few minutes. A lot of Seattle in the news with them smashing up the Starbucks last night because the Antifa crowd hates Joe Biden so much. But also from Seattle, d King County government erased Christmas, Easter and Hanaka for taxpayer funded holidays like International Human Rights Day and Arab American Heritage Month. So no more Christmas, Easter or Hanka. But they have come up with those new holidays that will be funded with various parades and activities for everyone. The West Coast has lost its mind at least certain cities there. Oh. Speaking of which, so if I hide eggs and have kids find them, I'm arrested or no. But there there will be no parade downtown that's being paid for with your tax money. But there will be some international this or that paid for. Did you know that San Jose is the tenth largest city in America. I didn't know that actually, And We're huge in the hoe, have been for years and years. The mayor of San Jose we've had bones to pick with in the past, is calling out cal Unicornia for its terrible business climate. Really interesting stuff. Yeah, all on the way. I hope you can stay with us and Getty
Speaker 1: Joe Biden respects government. He respects people who disagree with that. He listens to them. I think that Joe Biden is going to train us to see the world diffinitely. He plans to asher in a new era of hope and the action he's promising. The minute he takes office, we've gone from indecency to decency. He filled that empathy void. There was not one part of that that wasn't just medicine in the wound. Those lights that are that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool. I look, it's like almost extensions of Joe Biden's arms embracing America. It was a moment where the new president came to town. A little of the uh fawning over by none day one. That stuff is just commentary. It's annoying, but I expect that. But oh my god, when they when they actually had his you know, his his press person up there answering questions and all the questions, where when does the new dog get there? Or you know what, what what what paintings do you plan to put on the walls. It's all crapped like that, and nobody asked any question like Hey, you just um, you just decided to stop building the wall. We got a caravan coming. What's your plan for doing that? We have twenty million illegal immigrants in the country. How are we going to stop that from growing? Or any any critical questions on anything. It was all just puff piece stuff, and I hope that doesn't continue. Okay, that was day one, or maybe you get a pass on day one, but I hope that doesn't continue. Right They they they are original or i'm sorry, allegedly our watchdogs, the media, And to hear him slobbering like that over the new administration is really kind of troubling. Meanwhile, you have Joe Biden, who is a lot of the things they said. He's famously a nice fella. Everybody loves him on Capitol Hill. He's an amiable, go along to get along, compromiser, dealmaker, backslapper, bit of a hair sniffer. But nobody's perfect, and I think I think he's a decent guy. On the other hand, he is famously I don't want to say a little dim. He is so congenial and flexible. He lets really bad stuff happen on his watch sometimes. And a great example of this is the critical theory thing that we've been talking about. Critical some people say critical race theory, but it's a little more than that. But Chris Ruffo, he's a journalist and a writer, he tweeted this the other day. Well, it was. It was because one of the things Biden did on day one in the office was he struck down President Trump's ban on teaching on doing critical race seminars. If you're an employee of the federal government. Oh my god, yeah, this is the If you are white, you are racist, You're born racist. America is a racist country, and if you resist any of our changes, it's because you're a racist. If you deny your racist, it's proof you're a racist. Right, let me just let me get to what Chris Ruffo said. Then there's something you really really need to understand about this and why it's so incredibly insidious. So Chris Ruffo tweeted, and we're looking for a conversation with Chris. He's a busy guy right now. But today President Biden doubled down on critical race theory in the federal government. In response, I am announcing a new coalition of legal foundations and private attorneys that will wage relentless legal warfare against race theory in America's institution. The fight is on, and I would point out the most troubling part of this is this racist, hateful, corrosive garbage is being taught to our little kids and our high schoolers and our college kids. And I do think we have a fighting chance on this because I think educating the public about what it is is part of the problem. As we saw in the debate, Chris Wallace didn't know what critical race theory was. Trump kind of new Biden had no idea. Right. A lot of people who are supporting of it, are supporting it don't know what it is. They just think, oh, well, we're just you know, it's like your sexual harassment training. You take it work. Don't sexual harass people, right, don't be a racist, don't be a race The critical mass of critical theory is the common folks, And you're right, Jack, and a lot of well meaning people, especially white people, they have bought the labels that the critical theory people employ racist or anti racist. Here's what you have to understand, and some of you do already, And I would encourage you bother your friends about this, bore them at dinner if we ever are allowed to dine with friends again. This stuff came from the sixties and it was a bunch of just academic agitators who wanted to tear everything down. They didn't want to build anything. It was just like a mental intellectual exercise. But it kind of caught on. And the idea is this America or the Western civilization is racist. Okay, it was built by on racism. Every aspect of it is racist by definition. And when we the woke left, want to change anything, and it can be anything from the number of justices on the Supreme Court, to the filibuster, to voting systems, to mail in voting, to the designated hitter, to whether you can catch upon your hot dogs. If it came from the racist civilization, it's racist. So if you defend it, you are a racist. So for example, if Joe Getty, if I say, you know, it seems to me having everybody mail out millions of ballots and then millions get mailed back in nobody's sure where they came from or if it was on person vote, that seems like a really that could undermine our republic. Even saying that is racist because I'm defending the institutions of the United States of America, and a certain number of people say, oh god, no, I'm not a racist. I'm sorry, I'll conform, I'll do what you're saying, because they don't understand how they're being manipulated. The other example I like is if you're against universal healthcare, since minorities are disproportionally affected by our current healthcare system, then you're a racist. You can't you can't want to fix the current system. You have to be in favor of the government healthcare plan, for instance, or your opposition of that is not economic or a worldview, it's just racism, well right, And the so called anti racists who are bitter, bitter racists by the way, they portray themselves as unself interested angels, paragons of wisdom and goodness. And if they advocate something like Jack said, you know, socialized medicare for all, for instance, if they advocate it, it is by definition anti racist, and any opposition is by definition racist. And your kids are being taught this garbage in school and being told that if they're white, they're racist, if they're patriots, they're racist, if they're pro cop they're racists. You might think you're not racist, but you are right. And it's so damaging for the white kids and the non white kids because you're telling the kids that aren't white that those other white kids in the class they're racist. They're pretending they're not, or they don't even realize they are. They're racist. Their parents are racists. They secretly hate you, even if they don't realize it. They're trying to keep you down. You should hate them, and you should always, always, always do what we tell you to do. It is a naked power grab, boy, and it's one hundred percent about power and also sending the message that any lack of success in our family or our neighborhood is due to racism. Is right. Oh, that's so awful. That dooms the millions to failure and misery being told from the earliest age you can't possibly succeed because of the white man. Number one. It grants white people who nine percent of us don't give a crap, We want you to succeed. It grants white people like ultimate power, and it takes away power from the individual, which is why individualism is anathema to these people. You are not an individual, You are your race, period. You will vote your race, you will think with your race, you will march in line with your race, or your ethnicity or whatever it is. I mean, seriously, if Hitler and Gebels were here, they'd say, holy cow, you people are good. I never thought of doing it like that. They would admire the hell out of the social justice warrior types. The critical race theory pultn't a thought. You could get it into public schools if you're interested in this topic, and I think it might be one of the more important things going on in the country right now, especially with the new administration. That's you know, pushing it if you're interested in followed James Lindsay on the Twitter. He comments on it daily, picking out the places in America where it's rearing its ugly head, and it is daily. It's just fascinating to see his pushback. Well and listen. I don't tend toward toward over drama. I don't appreciate in other people. I think myself as a realist. But Lincoln most famously, but Washington said similar things. Really, all of our great leaders, so white, black, Hispanic, all of them agree there's no external power that can bring down to the United States not certainly, not in the next hundred years. It's just there's no way. The only way we go away is if we commit suicide. This critical race theory is the suicide. This is the gun to our own temple. I believe that firmly. Um. Do you think Joe Biden understands what it is? I don't think he probably does. No, I don't think he has any idea. I think he's been completely fooled. I think he understands when Mattlocke is on. That's an uncharitable view where we are currently. Just listen to the poem yesterday. I feel like you missed, Sean. That wasn't free speech, that was hate speech. Man to echo another one of their attitudes. A great example of this sort of thing on campus. How insane it's gotten. After a quick word from our friends at car Shield, I remember how it was, especially, you know, when when Judy and I were struggling financially, a big car repair would come. I would have hand us a big car repair and it was devastating. It was disastrous. Don't live in fear like that called car shield. Car shield gives you maximum safety on the road for a low month to month cost they help protect you from expensive car repairs. They could save you a thousands for a covered repair. Yeah. Month to month is the future. The idea of signing up for something and you're stuck with it for a year or two. Though, those days are passed. And that's why car Shield has helped over a million drivers. That's why they're the America's number one auto protection company right now. And you can take your car to your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work. They take care of the rest. They got twenty four seven nationwide roadside assistance of your car is going to be worked on for a while. You can get rental car coverage to at no additional cost. Wow, that's good stuff. Just go to carshield dot com use the code armstrong to save ten percent deductibill may apply carshield dot com. Use the code armstrong one more time. Carshield dot com code armstrong. Wow. I was just thumbed through the news. I know you got more on that critical race theory thing, but we mentioned the TIFA militants smashing up stuff in Portland and Seattle last night. Yeah, and tried in a number of other cities. If you've ever been to Seattle and you're into coffee, you go to the original Starbucks because it's a cool thing doing. It's right by the fish Market, which you were going to go to anyway. But it got smashed up last night. Course historic Original Starbucks smashed all the windows out and everything like that, screaming, chanting. Their chant was f Joe Biden, right, no cops, no prisons, no presidents, F Joe Biden smashed up the Democratic National or the Democratic These are crazy people, and I hope we can all call them out as crazy people now that they're yelling Joe Biden. We've been asking the left to call out the crazies on their side for a very long time. Will it happen now now that you can dare brank or break ranks with some of your leftist brothers because you're not battling the evil, evil trump Man. Society shouldn't have to put up with that. Business owners should not have to put up with getting all their windows smashed out on a regular basis. Arrest them every single g D time, charge them every single time, and punish them every single time. It's simple. It's easy. If I go around smashing stuff, I expect to get busted. You know why, because I ought to be busted. Apparently they're anti coffee and anti fascists, said one smart Alec Twitter follower. But here's a good picture of a big US flag burning. There you go, f Joe Biden burning the US flag. Okay, I hope we stop ignoring that sort of thing. We don't want Biden, we want revenge. Read one sign they were carrying through the streets there. I'm sorry, Jack, must have misheard you. The New York Times said that they were social justice demonstrators, not vengeful extremists. I'm a First Amendment salutist practically, but I swear i'd like to see the New York Times shut down, open up two or three other newspapers. Keep every single person who works that are employed, but under editors who aren't lunatics. That's a funny sentence. I'm a free speech absolutist, but the New York Times needs to be shut down. That's a funny sentence. Well. As a libertarian, I accept that I can't always get what I want. We need to take a break and get to some other stuff when we come back. Text line four one five two nine five KFTC Armstrong, The Armstrong and Getting Show. Did the Simpsons nail another big political moment in America. It's kind of a thing out there on how the Simpsons episodes over the years have predicted the future. They have got another one of those coming up. But has anybody ever gone by a Brinkx truck or you know, one of those big trucks carrying money and not at least flirted with the idea of I can give you drawn out schematics. All the times that I have walked by those things and figured out how I would I could get away with it. That's a weird impulse, isn't it. It's got to be a sense. Everybody does it. I think it's got to be healthy on some level, and we don't act on it. It's like everybody contemplates suicide. At least I'm told by psychologists. If you walk into a bank and you're not casing the joint, I don't think we can be friends. I don't know if I do that as much, but that's certainly the Brinx trucks, and my kids do it too. But a guy pulled it off the other day in the Bronx stole two hundred thousand dollars from a Brinkx worker who was unloading cash from his armored truck. I'm not sure this was the best employee. The private security company worker was removing the sack of money from his truck there in the Bronx two in the afternoon, broad daylight and headed to a nearby bank when a crook pushed him. Well, I pushed him. That's breaking the rules. I didn't know you could push a guy pushed him and grabbed the bag and ran off with it. She just shoved them, grabbed a bag and ran off with it. Two hundred thousand dollars. And that's Brinks. Yeah, I always see him working in pairs. And the guy that pushed him, they say is about five eight one sixty, so it's not even a big guy. Wow. He just shoved the dude as he has unloading the sacks, grabbed one and ran off. That's not very good security. All my plans included, like you know, exploding cigars or or or mannequins or exactly then you sweep around on the right and then melting off my fingerprints. None of them included just shoving a guy and grabbing a bag. Yeah, I remember back in the day when they usually included shootings, those robbings, and that's fair. I'm never gonna hurt no, no no, no, no no. But I've shoved people before. I haven't lately. So now, depending on how the currency was broken down for the two hundred thousand dollars, his getaway bag weighed somewhere between four pounds six ounces and one hundred and ten thousand pounds involving pennies right right, So you gotta calculate that is it wouldn't be a perpetrator ten thousand pounds. Good news, We got an We got an easy two hundred thousand just laying out there for us to take. Bad news. It's pennies. Anyway, I don't catch the guy Armstrong and Getty, the Armstrong and Getty. There's this whole debate around whether or not you root for the success for a president you didn't vote for. I was looking at some of the stories yesterday about former presidents leaving a note in the desk for the incoming president, like happens every four years, and Trump left a note for Biden, and Biden won't comment on it, he said, not until I talked to Trump about it first. But he said it was generous. Generous said that twice, whatever that means. But they did mention that hw Bush, who was a one termer, left a note for Clinton and said, you know, we're all on your side. We're rooting for your success, that sort of thing. And there's this debate around whether or not your root for this should root for the success of the person you didn't vote for. Mitch McConnell famously said I want Barack Obama to be, you know, a failed one term president, and boom. I remember there was an enormous fake outrage once when Rush Limbaugh said he's not rooting for Obama to succeed. Yeah, and I get both sides of the argument. In general, my spirit is I root for all presidents to be successful. On the other hand, obviously it makes sense that if they're successful at implementing policies you don't like, then yeah, why would you root for that? So yeah, you need to define successful honestly. I mean it's such a broad term when if they're successful, they're probably going to get reelected, and generally, if it's not who you voted for, you don't want them to. On the other hand, doctor Fauci is up on Good Morning America. I hope Joe Biden's administration and all the states involved are successful in the getting the one hundred and million vaccinations in the first one hundred days, And if they do, we'll give them full credit. Get that thing out. It's been a disaster so far. Although my skepticism lies in the fact that the problems exist on the state and local levels, state and county levels. Either the plans are dumb or overly woke, or you know, a lot of people are claiming we need more money, but that's what government always claims. And I am very skeptical that some sort of top down federal something or other is going to get a shot in your arm at your county. I hope they're successful in standing up to China. Joe Biden's administration said Iran is not going to get a nuclear bomb under our watch. I hope they're successful at that. So there's a number of things. I hope they're successful. Yeah, I hope they're a miserable failure at instituting critical race theory in our schools and our government, in our lives and our culture. And to that end, you know, I'm gonna switch I don't know. I can't decide which one of these is best to do. There's a move at like that second one a lot. Yeah, there's a move at Harvard. Well, they've already booted congresswoman at least Stephanic from upstate New York. She's a Harvard grad, became the first Ivy leaguer in her family, the first to graduate from college. Indeed, a really wonderful success story. She became a congress person. She's also skeptical of the election results and was one of those people saying, I don't think we ought to certify it. I think she was wrong. But so hard has booted her off of their senior advisory board. So now they have one hundred percent Democrats on their senior advisory board. Indeed, god like that at a university. Yeah, yeah, that's really really good at the institution of ideas, very nice. You can't even lampoon that, you can't, you can't criticize it because it's so obvious. And there's a move among Harvard students to revoke the degrees of any conservative who is this real disputed the election? Well, can you revoke a degree? Does that matter? Can you can you come and suck the knowledge out of my head. I wonder if they can do that. Do they have a machine that does that. They hold you down and suck the knowledge out. Well, it's it's merely a measure of how stupid college students can be, how incredibly unwise they can be. They're all fired up with their latest hot shot professor's ideology, and because they don't have the life experience to know when they've been hoodwinked, they go around spouting the nonsense. But one of the the Fox News guys was going around Harvard asking the students what they thought about revoking degrees clip number fifty six, the Harvard students petitioning to have tech crews and Kaylee mcinanney and Dan Frenshaw's degrees revoked because if their objection to the certification, what do you think about that to have their degrees are voked? Yeah, no, I find it really silly. I definitely don't agree with what they're doing right now in the government, but I think that's a little far because your cancel culture is of course, it's cancel culture and going to be one of the things that makes people too scared to say what they think. To have any sorts of debates that are meaningful. The First Amendment says that you have the rights like freedom of speech. I mean, you won't be persecuted by the federal government. It does not protect you against social punishment. When students come to Harvard and they think they're getting the greatest education in America, are they really just getting one side? Well, definitely, you're getting one side. That's that's true. That's been surprise surprising answers. Yeah. And that's one of the reasons I enjoyed that clips so much is there is some good common sense there. There's youthful foolishness. Um, but virtually every one of them that cherishes the fact that they'll soon have a Harvard degree, and we'll bring it up in every conversation they have for the rest of their life, the idea of having it. Say, they can't go rowing with you because they pulled their hamstring. I was a Harvard roller. But I tell you what, Miami rotator cuff or something up? Yeah? Sure, sure, didn't you have like a Mexican head in your picture anyway? Um, So I thought that was some good, solid common sense. On the other hand, Uh, David Clements is a law prefects professor at New Mexico State University, and he said something about the hypocrisy of decrying political violence if it's only on the other side, and he is now in serious, serious trouble um he has been Well, go ahead, play clip fifty then we'll get into it. But what happened this past Wednesday's not being categorized as a riot with an angry people that have every right to be angry. It's being called insurrection. They're being called an angry mob demagogues. So first of all, I'm offended that this is the email that you're going to send to faculty when you've been largely silent, as cities have burned, people have lost their businesses, homes, Go ahead and do with fifty one. It appears that the university is under a spell of Marxism. The twenty percent of the faculty members out there identify proudly as Marxist. And so what I'm asking for is parody. If you're going to call out violence, call it out, but do it year round. Don't just wait until it's politically convenient due to what happened this past Wednesday. So, of course, wrestling that point of view, he's in the hot seats. Is another professor loved this story, and this is why we're saying earlier, you've got to fight this stuff. They're indoctrinating the kids. Professor Andrew Koppelman of Northwestern I was writing about, Oh, I'm sorry, he's actually writing about Professor Jason Kilbourne at the University of Illinois Marshall School of Law. So evidently the Black Law Students members had advanced a petition against him, and he writes, on January seventh, I voluntarily agreed to talk to one of the Black Law Students Association members who advanced this petition against me around one or one and a half, around hour one or one and a a half of a four hour zoom call that I endured from five pm to nine pm with this young man. He asked me to speculate as to why the dean had not sent me the Black Law Student Association attack letter, and I flippantly responded, I suspect she's afraid if I saw the horrible things set about me in the letter, I would become homicidal. Conversation continued without another hitch for two and a half or three more hours, and we concluded amicably with a promise to talk more later. I would point out that if you're a law school professor and a single student demands to lecture you for four hours and you have to comply, that's the sort of cultural revolution fear that it starts with that say, yeah, are you kidding me? So? Anyway, so again the thing. I think she was afraid I'd become homicidal. He apparently turned around and reported that I was a homicidal threat. Our university's behavior Behavioral Threat Assessment team convened with no evidence of who I am at all, and recommended to my dean that I'd be placed an administrative leave and barred from campus. Having full discretion to implement or reject that recommendation, and knowing me fairly well, having worked with me for quite a while the past four years, my dean decided that I was indeed a homicidal threat. The university cannot possibly suspending bar from campus everyone who uses the occasional violet figure of speech. Such metaphors are common in casual conversation. In context, no reasonable person could take his language literally, assuming, etc. Even if one did take it literally. As statement was a speculation about the dean state of mind, not a statement about his own. This is the modern college campus University of Illinois at Chicago. John Marshall Law School is one of the top law schools in the nation. Harvard, which you're talking about as well. It's Harvard. And though I'm sickened buy the whole elite university thing, I got to recognize they're close to the top in everybody's hearts and minds. This is how crazy it's gotten. The young militants have everybody terrified on the university campuses. It's amazing, amazing. Just while we're on that kind of topic and then we move on to something else. There's a common terror arry on the smashing up windows in Portland and Seattle last night. Here's an article about it in by the mostly peaceful demonstrators my Northwest dot com whatever that is, it's a website. Meanwhile, in Portland, Antifa activists to rearrange the glass and exterior of the Democratic Party headquarters with hammers and spray paint. But there was merely a belated thank you to the party that offered the definitely not domestic terrorists support for the six last six months. That's nice. Rearranged the glass and the painting with hammers. Well, the Democrats gave them cover, gave them comfort, gave them money, ignored palettes full of bricks being shipped about that sort of thing. And then like Alex Jones, who are talking about like that a guy who's suspected to be the Q of QAnon. They've said, oh boy, we thought we could contain the lunatics on our side, and turns out we can't. Starbucks and Amazon are going to get into the vaccination business. I don't know where these offers were prior to yesterday, or if there's a reason for that anyway, And lack of storefronts isn't why the vaccination is not getting in arms, is it? Or they're just going to do their own people they're saying, well, I don't know, I got the details coming up in just a second. Joe, Joe, Yes, your vaccination is ready. Many hot latte and jabby arm accept it. Joelan, Joelan, What do you mean Joe? This says Joeling. Can I get this this vaccination? No whip please, no whip cream on this vaccination? Exactly, skinny. Please just look at me. Um And we've got a new track. Star we should be aware of because we got the Olympics coming up. Oh, this chick is fast, she's us seeing Bolt as a girl, and she's an American, which is awesome. Oh wait a minute, Yeah, I'm really excited about that. All on the way, the Armstrong and Getty show Cheetos is announced. Actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will star and it's new Super Bowl commercial, which is as of now, the biggest news story in the Biden presidency. So the vaccinations in Washington. They're getting to help a Starbucks to try to get the vaccine out faster using their unbelievable logistic, labor deployment, all the stuff that they're so good at with all their locations, some of their their their expertise is going to go over to the vaccination side in the state and they're going to join in. Probably a pretty good idea. Private sector is really good at that sort of thing. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, getting lots and lots of stuff into neighborhoods is what they do. Yeah. Nationally, Amazon is offered to help Joe Biden. You weren't going to help Trump because I guess you'd get beaten up for helping Trump or just thought of it on inauguration Day, Jack, it happens. And a letter written to Biden dated yesterday, Amazon Worldwide Consumer CEO Dave Clark said a letter to Joe Biden and saying our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against COVID nineteen. We stand ready to assess you in this effort with our fulfillment centers all across the country, our data centers. Blah blah blah blah blah. Although they also said and all Amazon employees should get the vaccine so that we can pull this off, so that that plays a role to a There it is there, it is, well, get to hand it out to a shots as soon as all of our people are taken care of. Right. I had one other thing I want to get to, but I'll do this first. So is it the summer Olympics coming up? I guess if it's the summer, it's probably the Summer Olympics, you genius, And it's in Japan. I think there's some question whether or not it's going to happen. Everybody's been planning on it happening, but with the COVID maybe it will or wore. But I don't know, and I don't even know if this person is going to qualify. But Usain Bolt, remember when he came on the scene and he just was so much faster than everybody else. He became a world fight phenomenon. A household name is a track star. It's hard to pull off. Didn't hurt that his name is Bolt? From another country? Well, this girl, and I'm not Jamaica, it's only kind of a country, not positive. How you pronounce her name? Zia Holman. She is a freshman at the University of Michigan. She was the biggest star in the country in high school and in her first meet yesterday. There is video of this and it's absolutely amazing. And the reason it's getting so much attention and has gone viral on the video thing it's she's running the anchor leg of the four by four hundred her teammates. Now this is the University of Michigan. I got to assume her teammates are no slouches, and they're running against other Division one track athletes. But her teammates have gotten her so far behind. She's like three quarters of a lap behind with the hander baton and she runs around the damn thing and asses everybody and wins the wow And it's just when you watch the video, you think, how can one person be that much faster than the other people when they're all good at this? Right? Yeah? Wow? That so her name was posted at Armstrong and getty dot com. We are we are going to Zia Holman. They ended up winning, and she won her other races, and walking away sort of numbers the way Usain Bolt used to do running backwards doing handstands. Um. They ask her after ross a cartwheel over the finish line. They ask her afterwards um about accomplishing such a comeback, and she said, yeah, I did that all the time in high school. Honestly, that is my thing. Watching it now, that is incredible. It is incredible. First of all, her teammate was already just kind of half jogging while giving her the baton. Is that you, yeah, okay, this is why we're so far behind. But yeah, it's it's interesting that a beast can come along every once in a while, like Tiger Woods. Wasn't golf there at the beginning. Yeah, when everybody's trying as hard as they can, and it's the most very very little separation between you know, the best and second and third half. Every once in a while, one person comes along it's just like way better. Yeah, weird, right, It's like some guy comes along and throws one hundred and thirty mile pro fastball number one. The catcher would be dead, so they would have to deal with that. Just give them an immense min and have a night behind it. That was impressive. Yeah. I look forward to her running in the Olympics and doing that to the Russians. Yes, Merca. Now she didn't and I'm asking this sincerely identify as a fellow last week or anything. No, no, no, there's okay, none of that, because I know nothing about this young woman. Um. I'm just glad she's an American, and I hope she isn't partaking any substances that would make you faster like former female track stars have done that were worldwide sensations and then you found out, oh okay, well you were You were cheating. Is the reason you want all those events. She just likes to hang around the paddock at the horse race track, all right, she knows some vets. They're not jabbing her full of horse. I don't have any reason to think that not no to even speculate would be you know, despicable. Joe Exotics told TMZ he thinks he was just too gay to get pardoned in America. Wasn't ready for that sort of thing, Right, that's bets there you go. That's twenty first century right there. Yep. If you were a straight fellaw a tiger killing, stupid methed up hit man hiring mullet sporting boss who allows employees to lose limbs, multiple boy toy marrying straight guy, well obviously wouldn't have boy. Oh yeah, oh he'd it turns you loose immediately there, Joe, of course, of course. But oh if he can't have a gay fella like you running around. No, if he was doing the same thing with young women that he was doing with young men, he'd never get out of prison under any circumstances. Right yeah, come to think of it, taking advantage of down and out young women. And no, no, no way like Doc Antle, but you know the other guy from Tiger King. Oh hey, this is exciting. We don't have time, but next hour and if you don't get the next hour or whatever, it's just good Armstrong and getty dot com and get the podcast later, they have solved the mystery of jetpack guy around Lax. I love this story, yes, and it is hilarious. There's a visual to it. We will post that at Armstrong and getty dot com as well under hot links. Go look for it in a few minutes. A lot of Seattle in the news with them smashing up the Starbucks last night because the Antifa crowd hates Joe Biden so much. But also from Seattle, d King County government erased Christmas, Easter and Hanaka for taxpayer funded holidays like International Human Rights Day and Arab American Heritage Month. So no more Christmas, Easter or Hanka. But they have come up with those new holidays that will be funded with various parades and activities for everyone. The West Coast has lost its mind at least certain cities there. Oh. Speaking of which, so if I hide eggs and have kids find them, I'm arrested or no. But there there will be no parade downtown that's being paid for with your tax money. But there will be some international this or that paid for. Did you know that San Jose is the tenth largest city in America. I didn't know that actually, And We're huge in the hoe, have been for years and years. The mayor of San Jose we've had bones to pick with in the past, is calling out cal Unicornia for its terrible business climate. Really interesting stuff. Yeah, all on the way. I hope you can stay with us and Getty
