00:00:02
Speaker 1: From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show, the judge's going.
00:00:15
Speaker 2: To prove this right, you would expect that would be the case. I mean, typically for a low level offenses like this, a judge would accept a plead deal because think about it, the two parties involved, the prosecution and the defense, have now agreed to what the outcome should be. Now, there are occasions when a judge will step in and say this is not in the interest of justice, this is unfair in one way or another, and won't accept the deal. But I think that would be unlikely. Although you have others just asking for a delay. I also think that is unlikely. But look, when you're throwing the name Hunter Biden, all the typical rules are off the table.
00:00:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:52
Speaker 4: I would agree with that. Damn yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think in a way that you're not suggesting. But let's hear one more thing for Dan Abers. What we're talking about Hunter Biden. Here, he's going before a judge and it's it's usually the culmination of so all these agreements are made. You agree, you agree that lawyers agree. As he said, just there, both sides agree, and then you go for the judge and they hit their gavel and that's that. But so what is the what are the terms of the plea agreement? Before I get into this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal clip ninety mic.
00:01:22
Speaker 5: Last month, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept what's known as a pre trial diversion program for a felony count of illegal possession of a firearm. That means prosecutors will agree to drop the gun charge if Hunter abides by several conditions set by prosecutors.
00:01:41
Speaker 4: Including staying clean no illegal drug use. In exchange, the.
00:01:46
Speaker 5: President's son will get probation and avoid prison time.
00:01:51
Speaker 4: One thing on the having to stay clean, no drug use thing. There was a picture that emerged from It was from the weekend he was in, uh that super expensive house that he rents in Malibu or wherever it is. I remember that whole story. He was on a balcony somewhere in the LA area with somebody who appeared to be smoking pot. Now Hunter wasn't smoking pot, but man, I don't know a lot of drug addicts who hang out with people smoking pot on balconies. It just usually is. I mean, if you're a hardcore, really been struggling to stay straight, has ruined your life drug addict, you don't usually do that.
00:02:30
Speaker 6: Let me throw another layer on top of that, and you've bargained away a couple of felonies on the condition that you don't do any drugs.
00:02:39
Speaker 4: Now, maybe that person wasn't smoking pot, but it should looked like he was. Yeah, so there's that.
00:02:46
Speaker 6: But well, and I'm reminded of the cocaine at the White House, and high level law enforcement sources have told me, and they may be right or they may be wrong that the Secret Service didn't identify where the coke came from because they didn't want to.
00:03:01
Speaker 4: Oh, well, that's a you know, some of that is just hunter issues. Doesn't affect the president. This stuff certainly does o this tax stuff probably. So this is Eileen O'Connor writing in the Wall Street Journal. Who is he? Who is she? She was the head person in charge of the whole tax bureau thing investigating this sort of stuff in the Bush administration. Ah so this is somebody that you would think would know the title of her op ed today is you'd go to you to go to prison for what hunter Biden did. While the US Attorney for Delaware was negotiating for hunter Biden to plead to two misdemeanor tax charges, other things were happening in neighboring New Jersey. Last week, US District Judge Stanley Chesler sentenced Gabriel M. Ferrari, owner of Linden Automotive repair shop, to one year and one day in prison, after mister Ferrari pleaded guilty to following a false company tax return. His return failed to include all his income and claimed deductions for personal expense, including gambling on horse races. In addition to the prison term, he'll be required to pay restitution. That guy's going to jail prison for tax crimes is real, writes this person who knows. In the nineteen nineties, New York Hotel here at Leona Helmsley served nearly two years in prison for defrauding the government by having her business payer personal expenses and claimed tax deductions for them. According to sworn and transcribed testimony that IRS whistleblowers provided the Houseways and Mece Committee and confirmed it last week's oversight hearing, which we talked about a lot. The IRS investigation of Hunter Biden began as an offshoot of an investigation the IRS was conducting into a foreign based amateur online pornography platform. Agents established that for six years twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen, mister Biden failed to report or pay tax on perhaps seventeen point three million dollars he received from questionable sources. He filed returns several years late, and when he did file them, he claimed as business deductions the cost of his drug dealer's hotel, room call girl sex club dues, and his daughter's tuition at Columbia University, what has been called Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal, however, wasn't the subject of the Oversight Committee hearing where the two whistleblowers testified. Instead, they were just laying out how their investigation was thwarted, their probe, and how that violated law enforcement norms among them. And we've gone through some of this, denying permission to execute search warrants for which the prosecutors agreed probable cause had been established, stalling investigative steps on account of upcoming election six months away, which is a common thing, alerting the attorneys for the subjects in the investigation that a search warrant would be executed to obtain documents and other evidence. That's outlandish, Oh yeah, yeah, denying authority to interview essential witnesses, including family members and business associates, including those who could shed light on the meaning of ten percent held for h by the for the big guy in any other circumstance. They come across that detail, they're gonna pursue it. They're gonna follow that thread to figure out who's the big guy, where's the money going? Do they owe taxes?
00:06:09
Speaker 6: Well, that's the definition of what they're doing. Figuring out where the money came from and where it went. That's what they do.
00:06:17
Speaker 4: Looked at with the full picture in mind, it is difficult not to wonder if those lines of investigation would have found evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son's apparent shakedowns of foreign governments and entities. Democrats on the Oversight Committee accused the witnesses of being overly enthusiastic about bringing criminal charges. Cited testimony that IRIS Criminal tax attorneys often disagreed with their prosecution recommendation. That's irrelevant. IRS Criminal writes this person who was in charge of the tax bureau under Bush. That's irrelevant. IRS criminal tax lawyer's timidity about recommending prosecution is common knowledge in the tax enforcement community. Further their views or advisory, only officials in the Justice Department's Tax Division decide whether to authorize bringing criminal charges. They did. The Special Agent report was sent to the Tax Division. It was more than a thousand pages long, describing each element of the alleged crime for each year, each piece of the evidence supporting each element, and the venue in which those charges should be brought. More than a year after the Tax Division received the report, it produced a ninety nine page memorandum supporting the recommended charges. Six felonies and five misdemeanors. Each of these charges carry prison time, some of them as long as five years. Wow, I didn't realize that six felonies, five misdemeanors, and all of those carry prison time.
00:07:37
Speaker 6: And the deciders all signed off on that right.
00:07:44
Speaker 4: And then this part, which hasn't gotten enough attention. Hunter Biden's attorneys had extended the statute of limitations several times and would have again, but mister Weiss let it expire for the government to permit the statute of limitations to expire is unheard of, says this person who ran the tax division for UH six.
00:08:07
Speaker 6: Years, having an entire team of IRS investigators investigating a crime, then willingly let it just all go away because the statute of limitations expired. Yeah, that is you couldn't possibly swallow that. Yeah, and you know your ear like me, if you're listening, you do you know, you don't know what's normal and what's not. Well this person does. For the government to permit the statute of limitations to expire is unheard of. When a taxpayer refuses a government request to extend the statute of limitations, the government goes ahead and brings the charges. According to the whistleblowers, that couldn't happen here because, contrary to Merrick Garland's sworn statement to Congress, mister Weiss lacked the authority to bring charges in the District of Columbia.
00:08:48
Speaker 4: UH goes on through some of this. On Wednesday, Judge today, the judge will be presented with this scandalously lenient plea deal that mister Weiss worked out for Hunter Biden, under which he would suffer no penalty for years of serious and willful violations of US tax laws. Will she accept it? That's the question. Dan Abrams just said his thought is that she will. Yeah, I'll be interested to see that unfold.
00:09:16
Speaker 6: And I want to throw this in. We mentioned Gingrich's think piece in the Washington Times earlier and didn't have time for his conclusion, which I think is absolutely worth sharing. And if some of you cling to the whole why are you guys talking about Hunter Biden. He's not in the government. Here's what Gingrich writes. Hunter should have been probably arrested years ago, and for far more than tax evasion. It's easy to get lost in the numerous stories of shady deals, extravagant gifts, and foreign influenced schemes. That's why we must remember one important truth. None of this is about Hunter bidenes. The Biden DOJ is not protecting Hunter out of any compassion for recovering drug addict, or even simply because he's a member of the first family. The president isn't even trying to protect his own reputation. The truth is that Joe Biden used influence peddling as Vice president and probably as a senator to enrich his immediate family and his allies and to ensure that he would have a comfortable life outside of the office. Through much of this, Hunter was his bag. Man. If all of Hunter Biden's dirty dealings became public, everyone would learn just how involved the big guy was at every step of the way. President Biden is not protecting his son, He's protecting himself.
00:10:24
Speaker 4: Huh.
00:10:24
Speaker 6: Interesting, which is more or less what I've been saying all along. And you know, if you're going to soften the strength of my comment, it would be Yeah, that sort of everybody in the family gets rich is why people want to get elected to office. It happens all the time.
00:10:43
Speaker 4: Absolutely does.
00:10:44
Speaker 6: But when it extends to specific illegalities or running interference for foreign entities and governments, including the Chinese Communists without declaring yourself foreign agent, those are serious charges. Those are serious crimes.
00:10:56
Speaker 4: Paul asked Paul Manifort, Well, that's a heck of a deal. So I learned this from Sarah Izger of The Dispatch. She was in the Trump Justice Department. But she was explaining how different administrations prioritize different crimes. And that's just a fact. I mean, you can look at the numbers and it plays out over time. When the Republicans have the White House, you get fewer white collar crimes being prosecuted and more gun charges. When Democrats control the White House, you get a lot more white collar crimes because they don't like rich connected people getting away with stuff, and fewer gun crimes because you know, people are only using guns because the economy is set against them or whatever. So it's especially odd then that you've got a democratic administration that usually loves to go after rich connected people getting away with tax fraud. In fact, you know, part of the whole whichever trillion dollar package it was hiring all those IRS agents, was for this very sort of thing, rich connected people getting away with the not paying their taxes. And then this is going to happen.
00:12:13
Speaker 6: You know what would make us super crazy famous is if I were to, over the next year replicate the crimes of Hunter Biden on my taxes and then see see where I end up. Yeah, you'd see if I end up with a couple of misdemeanors.
00:12:31
Speaker 4: Including the gum thing.
00:12:34
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I suppose. So that's kind of extraneous to me. I'm just talking about the tax stuff. But number one, I don't want to belong to a sex club whatever that is. You have to and I know you don't want to do this, but you have to get a divorce and you need to marry your brother's wife. Then you need to go through all their money with prostitution and gambling, and then you can just do the prosecution. Prostitution and gambling.
00:12:55
Speaker 4: Then your need to if you're going to replicate Hunter's life, then you got to lose a gun.
00:12:59
Speaker 6: That is crimes not as light.
00:13:01
Speaker 4: You gotta fly to Oklahoma and meet a stripper and knock her up.
00:13:04
Speaker 6: Wow, there are aspects of that that are probably okay.
00:13:09
Speaker 4: But you gotta drive one hundred and seventy three miles an hour in a Porsche while videotaping it and bragging about it. I mean, you talk about the kind of thing that democrats are supposed to hate. Connected rich kids driving Porsches and bragging about yeah, and braden about getting away with it. That's hilarious.
00:13:30
Speaker 6: Hiding sex club memberships is golf club memberships and then evading those taxes. Don't worry about it, misdemeanor. Yes, you're fine. I didn't like forum this farm on your wise.
00:13:41
Speaker 4: I didn't realize the six felonies and the five lower charges, all carried jail terms in a normal situation. Wow, so he'd be going away for a few years.
00:13:55
Speaker 6: Will we as a country overcome our tribal loyalties and look at the facts? Honest?
00:14:01
Speaker 4: No, I don't need you to finish the sentence.
00:14:03
Speaker 6: No, okay, all right, fair enough there you guys, we'll move on.
00:14:06
Speaker 4: Stay with us.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: And yetty.
00:14:17
Speaker 4: Shadow right center, long run. But Michael gets there, throw it back to first.
00:14:22
Speaker 6: May have a play, Telena, be a triple play.
00:14:25
Speaker 4: This is unbelievable. I don't see a lot of triple plays first one of the year in Major League Baseball. One of the reasons it's hard to have a triple play is you have to have zero outs it so well said, Yeah, you gotta be.
00:14:42
Speaker 6: You don't get into a record four or five ounce and apply them to the next inning like it's some sort of tax diversion programmers on.
00:14:49
Speaker 4: Uh so that's always exciting. I forgot, we forgot to mention this. Do we have a clip about that or something? Michael, I see Mick Jagger is eighty years old today. Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stone.
00:15:00
Speaker 6: That drag is getting Oh nice, I like it.
00:15:07
Speaker 4: No, it's not not anymore.
00:15:08
Speaker 6: It's not not actually yeah, in short, lots of rolling stones.
00:15:23
Speaker 4: Okay, So I haven't seen an interview with Mick Jagger anytime recently, like real recently, but he's on Jimmy Fallon a year ago doing a funny bit and stuff like that. He's the same age as Joe Biden. He's in a completely different place physically and mentally, it would seem.
00:15:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's slowed down physically a bit, but like for an eighty year old, he's miraculous.
00:15:50
Speaker 4: Well didn't he just become a father again?
00:15:53
Speaker 6: Oh boy, that's not what I meant. But maybe I don't know. Stop knocking people up eighty fellas.
00:16:02
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal. I'll just touch on this with another thing. Yesterday they hidden cost to your career of being overweight, So I thought, oh, what is that all about? So I looked into it.
00:16:12
Speaker 6: What are you looking at me for? What?
00:16:16
Speaker 4: Weight stigma is rarely talked about at work, Yeah, for obvious reasons, but it pervades workplaces everywhere. Employees and hiring managers say. Study after study shows heavier people are paid and promoted less than thinner colleagues, and are often stereotyped as lazy, or undisciplined. In a spring survey of more than a thousand human resource executives, eleven percent said an applicant's weight had factored into hiring decisions.
00:16:40
Speaker 6: Wow, they admitted had.
00:16:42
Speaker 4: One out of ten said the weight had factored into hiring decisions. Half a managers surveyed in a separate poll said they preferred interacting with healthy weight employees. I would have assumed it was if it was going to be anything. I don't think I would think about it. I really don't think I would. But you might think about health costs if a person was really overweight. Possibly, yes, you could justify that almost But and I'll bet there's way more bias than anybody admitted to right. There might be unconscious bias, but bias that you know, you're you're aware of. You didn't hire them because they were overweighted. That's surprising to me. Have you missed an hour of this show? Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
00:17:22
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
00:17:37
Speaker 6: This SAP is taken far away from some perspective on the President's vicious, vicious dog that's biting everybody in Washington. D c practically coming up in a bit from a professional dog trainer.
00:18:00
Speaker 4: The Bidens don't feed their dogs. The thing I can guess.
00:18:04
Speaker 6: I don't think the dog is starving. I think the dog is not a good dog, not well trained. Among other things, a couple of military related stories very quickly. Then we'll get into the main fair of the segment, which is parents at a school district standing up against the insane, woke policies being shoved down their throats. But I'm amazed that this story is not getting any attention. You a world where you know, if some attractive female is missing for twelve hours, everybody pays attention. Three Marines were found dead in a car at a North Carolina gas station.
00:18:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, and at least when I read this story, they don't have any idea what they died of at the time.
00:18:49
Speaker 6: No, I haven't seen any update. This is from the Marine Corps. Times found dead in a private car on the same day at this gas station. No drugs found in the vehicle.
00:19:05
Speaker 4: You would think if it was fentanyl or something like that, there'd be other evidence of drugs in the car, wouldn't you.
00:19:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, unless they all three bought one pill each and tuck them and they were poisoned with fentanyl, said the sergeant of the local county Sheriff's department. We do not suspect anything as far as foul play in the matter. They're waiting for autopsy results because the death quote might be something we don't see. But wow, wow, just awful, awful. And then you have this eighteen year old military recruit, a female in the United States military, who is as yet anonymous. You're not going to hear this story in any of the bigfoot media, but she has come forward to say she is extremely uncomfortable because she is being forced to sleep between two individuals who are supposed changing from male to female, and to shower regularly with these two fully intact males who again have begun chemical interventions, but are as yet.
00:20:11
Speaker 4: Well they're dudes in the military.
00:20:13
Speaker 6: Yes, I didn't know the Biden administration's policy on transgender service people, Jack.
00:20:19
Speaker 4: I had missed that we were doing that in the military. So if you're a woman in the military, which I know from having talked to women, it's pretty tough anyway, because you're around a lot of young guys, right, And I mean, so it's you know, it's it's a difficult situation anyway to actually then have to be in the shower with them. Holy gow, And this.
00:20:42
Speaker 6: Young woman is eighteen years old, but she's being made to feel extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable, and she's anonymous. Yet she's speaking through Senator Mike Rounds of the Senator Armed Services Committee, because even filing a complaint could devastate her career. She would be labeled a troublemaker, and sure no commanding officer would want to deal with her the rest of it. Any of you have served in the military know how this sort of thing goes. But that is just really insane.
00:21:17
Speaker 4: How about Obama's chef dying? Have you been found in that story? Yeah, fell off the paddle board and drowned. What's going on there?
00:21:25
Speaker 6: Seemed to be a decent swimmer too, Yeah, okay, all right, what are you hinting at there, sir? Well, to put a point on it.
00:21:34
Speaker 4: For it's standard to do a toxicology report. I'll be interested to see what that says. I know if I when I was younger, we're now just fell off a paddle board and relatively calm water and drowned. It's because I'm hammered, Yeah.
00:21:47
Speaker 6: Well, getting back to the theme of gender bending madness, which is where we're going with this. Chino Valley Unified School Board had a meeting recently in which the board was going to vote on what are to me a set of mostly very common sense guidelines. You cannot change a kid's gender, start referring to her as him, calling her Jimmy, etc. And not tell the parents you should not be offering gender bending education to little kids and that sort of thing. It's horrific and no less than the State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond of cal Unicornia, appeared at this Southern California school board meeting to try to talk them out of it. Now, we'll play what he said and then I'll describe some of the visuals. Go ahead, Michael, with twenty seven.
00:22:38
Speaker 3: That nearly half of students who identify as being LGBTQ plus are considering suicide. I ask you to consider this that the policy that you consider tonight not only may fall outside of the laws that respect privacy and safety for our students, but may put our students at risk because they may not be in homes where they can.
00:23:06
Speaker 7: Be saved time time, time.
00:23:13
Speaker 6: And then Thurman tries to keep talking and shouting over and just play the next clip.
00:23:18
Speaker 7: Guys, be respectful. I am going to do a point of order which I learned from a previous board president, Tony Thurman. I appreciate you being here tremendously, but here's the problem. We're here because of people like you. You're in Sacramento proposing things that pervert children. You had a chance to come and talk to me, Tony, by all means, you had a chance to come talk to me. Why was it so important for you to walk with my opponent? You are the very reason why we're in this.
00:23:54
Speaker 6: Why may I have as a point of order as the board.
00:23:59
Speaker 7: Pro this is not your meeting. You may have a see because if I did that to you in Sacramento, you would.
00:24:03
Speaker 4: Not accept it. Please say you're not gonna blackmail us.
00:24:08
Speaker 7: You already sent us a blackmailing letter on previous You will not bully us here in Chino.
00:24:14
Speaker 6: Please see.
00:24:16
Speaker 7: Cincino break.
00:24:25
Speaker 4: Or what are they chanting?
00:24:31
Speaker 7: You know?
00:24:31
Speaker 6: I figured that out yesterday and I can't remember now. We won't be bullied her or something like that. And then the vote moments later, and I'll do a.
00:24:43
Speaker 7: Roll call out of respect to my colleagues, mister Bridge, no, mister Monroe, yes, mister Cruz, mister naw I, and I'm a yes. The motion passes Florida ro.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: Ah wow. As an exciting little deal.
00:25:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was. And I'm told by folks in the area that there's an influential church in the area that is a fairly fundamentalist and is important in the school district and sometimes maybe they even go overboard and what ought to be in schools and that sort of thing. But I find that practically irrelevant when you look at the fact that the vast majority of Americans, I mean huge majorities, think it's awful to be teaching little kids about, you know, gender fluidity in the genderbred person. They're teaching this stuff in kindergarten. It's absolutely outrageous. It's sick. That video, by the way, which I became aware of through the Twitter account of a group called Gaze Against Groomers. It's gay people who are absolutely not down with the wild radical gender theory crowd. They are much more sane and traditional and saying no, I'm a guy, I'm a gay man, I'm a man, and a lot of these people are activists on the stop putting young effeminate men through surgeries and hormones because they're gay. They're not transgender, they're gay. Let them be gay. And we appreciate their assistance in fighting against the insanity. But I say, well done. Way to stand up to the big impressive, far left Sacramento bureaucrat who's trying to talk you into teaching sickness in your school and the idea that, oh, you know, and I have a lot of information on this, we'll get to it at some point. But those studies that are always cited about they're at fifty percent risk of suicide. That is cherry picked garbage data. It is utterly scientifically invalid. And for the big bureaucrat to come down there and tell them this is about privacy. Yeah, a confused fourteen year old being talked into being transgender by activist teachers and you not being informed about it. The privacy is for the activists to do whatever they want. You can't give your kid a tile in all, but the teachers can change their sex.
00:27:27
Speaker 4: I gotta grab the breaking news. The plea deal, the Hunter Biden plea deal is dead after the judge expressed major concerns about the pretile diversion program for Hunter's felony gun charge. We'll have to look into more. I mean, this is just breaking right now about the gun charge. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's happening here. We'll dig into that and have the details for you coming up. So it's not the tax stuff, it's the gun stuff. Well, I have to look into this. This is just breaking right now. Also have breaking testimony from the UFO hearing that is going on right now.
00:28:00
Speaker 6: Also the UFO hearing. That's right if it's a national security hearing that we need to be better at tracking what these aircraft are. Fine, if you're down with Martians and s, I don't want to hear from you. All right, let's grow up here.
00:28:19
Speaker 4: So we got to look into this Hunter Biden thingy. What's going on as there is went before the judge on all that stuff we talked about earlier in the hour, and we'll bring up to speed on that coming up.
00:28:30
Speaker 1: Armstrong and the Armstrong and Getty Show.
00:28:41
Speaker 6: Someone made a bad mistake here? Am I wrong looking at this saying that these someone whether it be Hunter, Biyens, defense or prosecutors.
00:28:49
Speaker 8: Here, how could there be such a big miscommunication.
00:28:52
Speaker 5: I cannot even begin to explain how the Justice Department walks into that courtroom without knowing exactly what the scope of immunity or coverages for Hunter Biden.
00:29:01
Speaker 4: And equally, I cannot even begin to understand how Hunter.
00:29:04
Speaker 5: Biden's lawyers walk him into that courthouse without knowing exactly what the constraints with the limitations of that deal are.
00:29:12
Speaker 4: No, it's from CNN. Sounds like an odd turn of events here that was not expected about Hunter Biden going before a judge. What has happened Joe Getty, who almost went to law school?
00:29:22
Speaker 6: Well, according to the utterly shamelessly biased New York Times, the two part plea agreement negotiating between Hunter Biden US turning delawares on the verge of collapsing after the judge in the case questioned whether it offered mister Biden blanket immunity from prosecution for his business dealings or only for tax offenses. Oh, I believe we have more in the Weeds analysis in clip ninety three.
00:29:46
Speaker 8: Michael, Remember there are two separate cases here. One is the tax case. Those are the misdemeanor charges. So they've run through the specifics of that agreement. He also has the gun charge, right, that's the felony charge. That's a serious charge that carries a mac some sentence of ten years in prison. But there are two separate agreements. And the judge is focus again and puny and saying to Hunter Biden, so do you understand that the four corners of this tax flea agreement does not include specifically this gun diversion, which would allow him to not avoid to allow him to avoid prison time. And she's saying, if you don't have immunity from other charges, are you still willing to flead guilty to these tax misdemeanors? And he said no, I will not. His lawyer stood up and also widen and said that, you know, confirming that he would not plead without immunity to any other charges, and that could include charges beyond just the gun charge, but also any other potential charges out there.
00:30:42
Speaker 4: Well, does this get to again, wow?
00:30:44
Speaker 6: Thank wait a minute, thank.
00:30:45
Speaker 4: God you almost went to law school. So does this get to the confusion so many people who have had on none of this makes sense. This is not the way it works for anybody else. Why is it working this way? Yeah?
00:30:59
Speaker 6: In a way all the Oh, there are multiple layers of WT I'll go with H, including blanket immunity for all potential crimes. Are you blanking kidding?
00:31:13
Speaker 4: What was that the original deal?
00:31:16
Speaker 6: I don't know that.
00:31:16
Speaker 7: We were.
00:31:17
Speaker 4: We heard about the sweetheart deal. When did that break? A couple of weeks ago? So the sweetheart deal was immunity from anything he ever did.
00:31:23
Speaker 6: Ever, Well, no, that's obscene, that's ridiculous. But that had not become clear to me until this very moment.
00:31:31
Speaker 4: By the way, we got this from somebody in law enforcement who said that whole gun thing is really bs. Anyone, and I mean anyone would get five years for that gun charge, a felon in possession of a gun automatic five year term for that charge for anyone, and Hunter is somehow managed to avoid.
00:31:47
Speaker 6: Wow, he just got lucky, I guess so. The horrifically shamelessly biased New York Times says the deal follows a year's long investigation by the federal prosecutor and David Weiss, a Trump appointee who's kept on by the Biden Justice Department. Everybody always leans on. That is, if everybody is completely biased and nobody's a professional, who does their job. They're just partisans, which is a hell of a view government. And I think I know why Democrats think that way. Anyway, if the judge of Ru's the deal, babba bah. They've tried for years to tie the old man to Hunter's businesses at C, but mister Weiss's investigation found nothing to implicate President Biden. Mister Weiss looked at a range of Hunter Biden's activities, including his international businesses when his father was vice president later during the Crack years, and chose to pursue only the narrow tax and gun charges. The New York Times apparently they didn't have enough room to squeeze in that whistleblowers, a political whistleblowers from the IRS, testified under oath that the Biden Justice departments stymied their investigations, and instead The New York Times just says the prosecutor was a fine fella and was completely unfettered. Decided not to pursue any serious charges because there's no evidence that Joe Biden was tied at all to Hunter. They either live in fantasyland or are professional liars, and I'm leaning towards the second.
00:33:19
Speaker 4: So various news outlets that lean well, I don't know if they lean any direction.
00:33:25
Speaker 6: They're just not as uh, insightful handsome.
00:33:32
Speaker 4: I don't know what. I don't like any of the terms I'm thinking of important, big, Well, none of that matters. But your bigger news outlets New York Times, CBS News, ABC News. I'm looking at all these different they're all saying the Hunter Biden plea deal is in jeopardy or stalled. You And I don't want to say less reputable either, because as we've pointed out, a lot of the places I've just mentioned are incredibly not reputable sometimes, but.
00:33:57
Speaker 6: It's called them the new wave of reputable outlets.
00:34:00
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if they are not, because I don't know the names of a lot of these places. But other places are calling it dead. They're saying the plea deal is dead. What's it look like to you? Does it look like it's dead, like they're gonna have to start over, or is it just stalled?
00:34:12
Speaker 1: Hmmm?
00:34:12
Speaker 6: I don't think I know enough to answer that question.
00:34:16
Speaker 4: USA Today is going with in a stunning turn of events, under Biden's jorneys reject plead deal without immunity for their clients. Oversees business deals Why would he get immunity for anything since that is not you know, sussed out yet.
00:34:30
Speaker 6: Why would you get immunity for that in return for pleading guilty to tax misdemeanors. Are you kidding me, doctor? Or I'm sorry? John Gotti, the godfather of the New York crime families, has agreed to pay all of his parking tickets in exchange for immunity from all of the crimes of the mafia through history. That's effing unbelievable. Put a buck in the swear jar. It was worth it. This is about to explode.
00:35:04
Speaker 4: New York Post headline is Hunter Biden plea deal falling apart in stunning turn of events as prosecutors keep future charges alive future charges around the foreign business deal stuff. Ooh, this is a stunning turn of events.
00:35:19
Speaker 6: Wow uh, professional liar Glenn Thrush writes in The New York Times. Chris Clark, Hunter Biden's lead lawyer, asked for recess ten minutes to hash out a possible compromise salvage of the deal, and the parties were furiously negotiating in full view of three dozen reporters packed into the courtroom.
00:35:34
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's a ten minute break. Maybe they come back together and come up with something. So that sounds stalled or interrupted. Sounds better than dead to me, at least for now.
00:35:47
Speaker 6: Federal District Court Judge Mary Ellen Noraika appointedly asked Leo, Why's top prosecutor in the case. If the deal met, Hunter Biden would be immune from prosecution for other possible crimes, including violations related to representing foreign governments. Hello Wise said no, and Hunter Biden's lawyer responded by saying the agreement was null and void, so Hunter wanted immunity from any charges of being an unregistered foreign agent. Kerb Blewie Boom goes the justice dynamite, Well, were they trying to slip that in at the end or was that the deal all along? I do not know that.
00:36:25
Speaker 4: That couldn't have been the deal all along. We'd have been hearing a lot about that.
00:36:28
Speaker 6: Well, the judge took a look at it and said, whawright.
00:36:31
Speaker 4: If you miss an hour of the show, gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
00:36:34
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show, the judge's going.
00:00:15
Speaker 2: To prove this right, you would expect that would be the case. I mean, typically for a low level offenses like this, a judge would accept a plead deal because think about it, the two parties involved, the prosecution and the defense, have now agreed to what the outcome should be. Now, there are occasions when a judge will step in and say this is not in the interest of justice, this is unfair in one way or another, and won't accept the deal. But I think that would be unlikely. Although you have others just asking for a delay. I also think that is unlikely. But look, when you're throwing the name Hunter Biden, all the typical rules are off the table.
00:00:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:52
Speaker 4: I would agree with that. Damn yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think in a way that you're not suggesting. But let's hear one more thing for Dan Abers. What we're talking about Hunter Biden. Here, he's going before a judge and it's it's usually the culmination of so all these agreements are made. You agree, you agree that lawyers agree. As he said, just there, both sides agree, and then you go for the judge and they hit their gavel and that's that. But so what is the what are the terms of the plea agreement? Before I get into this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal clip ninety mic.
00:01:22
Speaker 5: Last month, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept what's known as a pre trial diversion program for a felony count of illegal possession of a firearm. That means prosecutors will agree to drop the gun charge if Hunter abides by several conditions set by prosecutors.
00:01:41
Speaker 4: Including staying clean no illegal drug use. In exchange, the.
00:01:46
Speaker 5: President's son will get probation and avoid prison time.
00:01:51
Speaker 4: One thing on the having to stay clean, no drug use thing. There was a picture that emerged from It was from the weekend he was in, uh that super expensive house that he rents in Malibu or wherever it is. I remember that whole story. He was on a balcony somewhere in the LA area with somebody who appeared to be smoking pot. Now Hunter wasn't smoking pot, but man, I don't know a lot of drug addicts who hang out with people smoking pot on balconies. It just usually is. I mean, if you're a hardcore, really been struggling to stay straight, has ruined your life drug addict, you don't usually do that.
00:02:30
Speaker 6: Let me throw another layer on top of that, and you've bargained away a couple of felonies on the condition that you don't do any drugs.
00:02:39
Speaker 4: Now, maybe that person wasn't smoking pot, but it should looked like he was. Yeah, so there's that.
00:02:46
Speaker 6: But well, and I'm reminded of the cocaine at the White House, and high level law enforcement sources have told me, and they may be right or they may be wrong that the Secret Service didn't identify where the coke came from because they didn't want to.
00:03:01
Speaker 4: Oh, well, that's a you know, some of that is just hunter issues. Doesn't affect the president. This stuff certainly does o this tax stuff probably. So this is Eileen O'Connor writing in the Wall Street Journal. Who is he? Who is she? She was the head person in charge of the whole tax bureau thing investigating this sort of stuff in the Bush administration. Ah so this is somebody that you would think would know the title of her op ed today is you'd go to you to go to prison for what hunter Biden did. While the US Attorney for Delaware was negotiating for hunter Biden to plead to two misdemeanor tax charges, other things were happening in neighboring New Jersey. Last week, US District Judge Stanley Chesler sentenced Gabriel M. Ferrari, owner of Linden Automotive repair shop, to one year and one day in prison, after mister Ferrari pleaded guilty to following a false company tax return. His return failed to include all his income and claimed deductions for personal expense, including gambling on horse races. In addition to the prison term, he'll be required to pay restitution. That guy's going to jail prison for tax crimes is real, writes this person who knows. In the nineteen nineties, New York Hotel here at Leona Helmsley served nearly two years in prison for defrauding the government by having her business payer personal expenses and claimed tax deductions for them. According to sworn and transcribed testimony that IRS whistleblowers provided the Houseways and Mece Committee and confirmed it last week's oversight hearing, which we talked about a lot. The IRS investigation of Hunter Biden began as an offshoot of an investigation the IRS was conducting into a foreign based amateur online pornography platform. Agents established that for six years twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen, mister Biden failed to report or pay tax on perhaps seventeen point three million dollars he received from questionable sources. He filed returns several years late, and when he did file them, he claimed as business deductions the cost of his drug dealer's hotel, room call girl sex club dues, and his daughter's tuition at Columbia University, what has been called Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal, however, wasn't the subject of the Oversight Committee hearing where the two whistleblowers testified. Instead, they were just laying out how their investigation was thwarted, their probe, and how that violated law enforcement norms among them. And we've gone through some of this, denying permission to execute search warrants for which the prosecutors agreed probable cause had been established, stalling investigative steps on account of upcoming election six months away, which is a common thing, alerting the attorneys for the subjects in the investigation that a search warrant would be executed to obtain documents and other evidence. That's outlandish, Oh yeah, yeah, denying authority to interview essential witnesses, including family members and business associates, including those who could shed light on the meaning of ten percent held for h by the for the big guy in any other circumstance. They come across that detail, they're gonna pursue it. They're gonna follow that thread to figure out who's the big guy, where's the money going? Do they owe taxes?
00:06:09
Speaker 6: Well, that's the definition of what they're doing. Figuring out where the money came from and where it went. That's what they do.
00:06:17
Speaker 4: Looked at with the full picture in mind, it is difficult not to wonder if those lines of investigation would have found evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son's apparent shakedowns of foreign governments and entities. Democrats on the Oversight Committee accused the witnesses of being overly enthusiastic about bringing criminal charges. Cited testimony that IRIS Criminal tax attorneys often disagreed with their prosecution recommendation. That's irrelevant. IRS Criminal writes this person who was in charge of the tax bureau under Bush. That's irrelevant. IRS criminal tax lawyer's timidity about recommending prosecution is common knowledge in the tax enforcement community. Further their views or advisory, only officials in the Justice Department's Tax Division decide whether to authorize bringing criminal charges. They did. The Special Agent report was sent to the Tax Division. It was more than a thousand pages long, describing each element of the alleged crime for each year, each piece of the evidence supporting each element, and the venue in which those charges should be brought. More than a year after the Tax Division received the report, it produced a ninety nine page memorandum supporting the recommended charges. Six felonies and five misdemeanors. Each of these charges carry prison time, some of them as long as five years. Wow, I didn't realize that six felonies, five misdemeanors, and all of those carry prison time.
00:07:37
Speaker 6: And the deciders all signed off on that right.
00:07:44
Speaker 4: And then this part, which hasn't gotten enough attention. Hunter Biden's attorneys had extended the statute of limitations several times and would have again, but mister Weiss let it expire for the government to permit the statute of limitations to expire is unheard of, says this person who ran the tax division for UH six.
00:08:07
Speaker 6: Years, having an entire team of IRS investigators investigating a crime, then willingly let it just all go away because the statute of limitations expired. Yeah, that is you couldn't possibly swallow that. Yeah, and you know your ear like me, if you're listening, you do you know, you don't know what's normal and what's not. Well this person does. For the government to permit the statute of limitations to expire is unheard of. When a taxpayer refuses a government request to extend the statute of limitations, the government goes ahead and brings the charges. According to the whistleblowers, that couldn't happen here because, contrary to Merrick Garland's sworn statement to Congress, mister Weiss lacked the authority to bring charges in the District of Columbia.
00:08:48
Speaker 4: UH goes on through some of this. On Wednesday, Judge today, the judge will be presented with this scandalously lenient plea deal that mister Weiss worked out for Hunter Biden, under which he would suffer no penalty for years of serious and willful violations of US tax laws. Will she accept it? That's the question. Dan Abrams just said his thought is that she will. Yeah, I'll be interested to see that unfold.
00:09:16
Speaker 6: And I want to throw this in. We mentioned Gingrich's think piece in the Washington Times earlier and didn't have time for his conclusion, which I think is absolutely worth sharing. And if some of you cling to the whole why are you guys talking about Hunter Biden. He's not in the government. Here's what Gingrich writes. Hunter should have been probably arrested years ago, and for far more than tax evasion. It's easy to get lost in the numerous stories of shady deals, extravagant gifts, and foreign influenced schemes. That's why we must remember one important truth. None of this is about Hunter bidenes. The Biden DOJ is not protecting Hunter out of any compassion for recovering drug addict, or even simply because he's a member of the first family. The president isn't even trying to protect his own reputation. The truth is that Joe Biden used influence peddling as Vice president and probably as a senator to enrich his immediate family and his allies and to ensure that he would have a comfortable life outside of the office. Through much of this, Hunter was his bag. Man. If all of Hunter Biden's dirty dealings became public, everyone would learn just how involved the big guy was at every step of the way. President Biden is not protecting his son, He's protecting himself.
00:10:24
Speaker 4: Huh.
00:10:24
Speaker 6: Interesting, which is more or less what I've been saying all along. And you know, if you're going to soften the strength of my comment, it would be Yeah, that sort of everybody in the family gets rich is why people want to get elected to office. It happens all the time.
00:10:43
Speaker 4: Absolutely does.
00:10:44
Speaker 6: But when it extends to specific illegalities or running interference for foreign entities and governments, including the Chinese Communists without declaring yourself foreign agent, those are serious charges. Those are serious crimes.
00:10:56
Speaker 4: Paul asked Paul Manifort, Well, that's a heck of a deal. So I learned this from Sarah Izger of The Dispatch. She was in the Trump Justice Department. But she was explaining how different administrations prioritize different crimes. And that's just a fact. I mean, you can look at the numbers and it plays out over time. When the Republicans have the White House, you get fewer white collar crimes being prosecuted and more gun charges. When Democrats control the White House, you get a lot more white collar crimes because they don't like rich connected people getting away with stuff, and fewer gun crimes because you know, people are only using guns because the economy is set against them or whatever. So it's especially odd then that you've got a democratic administration that usually loves to go after rich connected people getting away with tax fraud. In fact, you know, part of the whole whichever trillion dollar package it was hiring all those IRS agents, was for this very sort of thing, rich connected people getting away with the not paying their taxes. And then this is going to happen.
00:12:13
Speaker 6: You know what would make us super crazy famous is if I were to, over the next year replicate the crimes of Hunter Biden on my taxes and then see see where I end up. Yeah, you'd see if I end up with a couple of misdemeanors.
00:12:31
Speaker 4: Including the gum thing.
00:12:34
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I suppose. So that's kind of extraneous to me. I'm just talking about the tax stuff. But number one, I don't want to belong to a sex club whatever that is. You have to and I know you don't want to do this, but you have to get a divorce and you need to marry your brother's wife. Then you need to go through all their money with prostitution and gambling, and then you can just do the prosecution. Prostitution and gambling.
00:12:55
Speaker 4: Then your need to if you're going to replicate Hunter's life, then you got to lose a gun.
00:12:59
Speaker 6: That is crimes not as light.
00:13:01
Speaker 4: You gotta fly to Oklahoma and meet a stripper and knock her up.
00:13:04
Speaker 6: Wow, there are aspects of that that are probably okay.
00:13:09
Speaker 4: But you gotta drive one hundred and seventy three miles an hour in a Porsche while videotaping it and bragging about it. I mean, you talk about the kind of thing that democrats are supposed to hate. Connected rich kids driving Porsches and bragging about yeah, and braden about getting away with it. That's hilarious.
00:13:30
Speaker 6: Hiding sex club memberships is golf club memberships and then evading those taxes. Don't worry about it, misdemeanor. Yes, you're fine. I didn't like forum this farm on your wise.
00:13:41
Speaker 4: I didn't realize the six felonies and the five lower charges, all carried jail terms in a normal situation. Wow, so he'd be going away for a few years.
00:13:55
Speaker 6: Will we as a country overcome our tribal loyalties and look at the facts? Honest?
00:14:01
Speaker 4: No, I don't need you to finish the sentence.
00:14:03
Speaker 6: No, okay, all right, fair enough there you guys, we'll move on.
00:14:06
Speaker 4: Stay with us.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: And yetty.
00:14:17
Speaker 4: Shadow right center, long run. But Michael gets there, throw it back to first.
00:14:22
Speaker 6: May have a play, Telena, be a triple play.
00:14:25
Speaker 4: This is unbelievable. I don't see a lot of triple plays first one of the year in Major League Baseball. One of the reasons it's hard to have a triple play is you have to have zero outs it so well said, Yeah, you gotta be.
00:14:42
Speaker 6: You don't get into a record four or five ounce and apply them to the next inning like it's some sort of tax diversion programmers on.
00:14:49
Speaker 4: Uh so that's always exciting. I forgot, we forgot to mention this. Do we have a clip about that or something? Michael, I see Mick Jagger is eighty years old today. Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stone.
00:15:00
Speaker 6: That drag is getting Oh nice, I like it.
00:15:07
Speaker 4: No, it's not not anymore.
00:15:08
Speaker 6: It's not not actually yeah, in short, lots of rolling stones.
00:15:23
Speaker 4: Okay, So I haven't seen an interview with Mick Jagger anytime recently, like real recently, but he's on Jimmy Fallon a year ago doing a funny bit and stuff like that. He's the same age as Joe Biden. He's in a completely different place physically and mentally, it would seem.
00:15:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's slowed down physically a bit, but like for an eighty year old, he's miraculous.
00:15:50
Speaker 4: Well didn't he just become a father again?
00:15:53
Speaker 6: Oh boy, that's not what I meant. But maybe I don't know. Stop knocking people up eighty fellas.
00:16:02
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal. I'll just touch on this with another thing. Yesterday they hidden cost to your career of being overweight, So I thought, oh, what is that all about? So I looked into it.
00:16:12
Speaker 6: What are you looking at me for? What?
00:16:16
Speaker 4: Weight stigma is rarely talked about at work, Yeah, for obvious reasons, but it pervades workplaces everywhere. Employees and hiring managers say. Study after study shows heavier people are paid and promoted less than thinner colleagues, and are often stereotyped as lazy, or undisciplined. In a spring survey of more than a thousand human resource executives, eleven percent said an applicant's weight had factored into hiring decisions.
00:16:40
Speaker 6: Wow, they admitted had.
00:16:42
Speaker 4: One out of ten said the weight had factored into hiring decisions. Half a managers surveyed in a separate poll said they preferred interacting with healthy weight employees. I would have assumed it was if it was going to be anything. I don't think I would think about it. I really don't think I would. But you might think about health costs if a person was really overweight. Possibly, yes, you could justify that almost But and I'll bet there's way more bias than anybody admitted to right. There might be unconscious bias, but bias that you know, you're you're aware of. You didn't hire them because they were overweighted. That's surprising to me. Have you missed an hour of this show? Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
00:17:22
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
00:17:37
Speaker 6: This SAP is taken far away from some perspective on the President's vicious, vicious dog that's biting everybody in Washington. D c practically coming up in a bit from a professional dog trainer.
00:18:00
Speaker 4: The Bidens don't feed their dogs. The thing I can guess.
00:18:04
Speaker 6: I don't think the dog is starving. I think the dog is not a good dog, not well trained. Among other things, a couple of military related stories very quickly. Then we'll get into the main fair of the segment, which is parents at a school district standing up against the insane, woke policies being shoved down their throats. But I'm amazed that this story is not getting any attention. You a world where you know, if some attractive female is missing for twelve hours, everybody pays attention. Three Marines were found dead in a car at a North Carolina gas station.
00:18:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, and at least when I read this story, they don't have any idea what they died of at the time.
00:18:49
Speaker 6: No, I haven't seen any update. This is from the Marine Corps. Times found dead in a private car on the same day at this gas station. No drugs found in the vehicle.
00:19:05
Speaker 4: You would think if it was fentanyl or something like that, there'd be other evidence of drugs in the car, wouldn't you.
00:19:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, unless they all three bought one pill each and tuck them and they were poisoned with fentanyl, said the sergeant of the local county Sheriff's department. We do not suspect anything as far as foul play in the matter. They're waiting for autopsy results because the death quote might be something we don't see. But wow, wow, just awful, awful. And then you have this eighteen year old military recruit, a female in the United States military, who is as yet anonymous. You're not going to hear this story in any of the bigfoot media, but she has come forward to say she is extremely uncomfortable because she is being forced to sleep between two individuals who are supposed changing from male to female, and to shower regularly with these two fully intact males who again have begun chemical interventions, but are as yet.
00:20:11
Speaker 4: Well they're dudes in the military.
00:20:13
Speaker 6: Yes, I didn't know the Biden administration's policy on transgender service people, Jack.
00:20:19
Speaker 4: I had missed that we were doing that in the military. So if you're a woman in the military, which I know from having talked to women, it's pretty tough anyway, because you're around a lot of young guys, right, And I mean, so it's you know, it's it's a difficult situation anyway to actually then have to be in the shower with them. Holy gow, And this.
00:20:42
Speaker 6: Young woman is eighteen years old, but she's being made to feel extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable, and she's anonymous. Yet she's speaking through Senator Mike Rounds of the Senator Armed Services Committee, because even filing a complaint could devastate her career. She would be labeled a troublemaker, and sure no commanding officer would want to deal with her the rest of it. Any of you have served in the military know how this sort of thing goes. But that is just really insane.
00:21:17
Speaker 4: How about Obama's chef dying? Have you been found in that story? Yeah, fell off the paddle board and drowned. What's going on there?
00:21:25
Speaker 6: Seemed to be a decent swimmer too, Yeah, okay, all right, what are you hinting at there, sir? Well, to put a point on it.
00:21:34
Speaker 4: For it's standard to do a toxicology report. I'll be interested to see what that says. I know if I when I was younger, we're now just fell off a paddle board and relatively calm water and drowned. It's because I'm hammered, Yeah.
00:21:47
Speaker 6: Well, getting back to the theme of gender bending madness, which is where we're going with this. Chino Valley Unified School Board had a meeting recently in which the board was going to vote on what are to me a set of mostly very common sense guidelines. You cannot change a kid's gender, start referring to her as him, calling her Jimmy, etc. And not tell the parents you should not be offering gender bending education to little kids and that sort of thing. It's horrific and no less than the State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond of cal Unicornia, appeared at this Southern California school board meeting to try to talk them out of it. Now, we'll play what he said and then I'll describe some of the visuals. Go ahead, Michael, with twenty seven.
00:22:38
Speaker 3: That nearly half of students who identify as being LGBTQ plus are considering suicide. I ask you to consider this that the policy that you consider tonight not only may fall outside of the laws that respect privacy and safety for our students, but may put our students at risk because they may not be in homes where they can.
00:23:06
Speaker 7: Be saved time time, time.
00:23:13
Speaker 6: And then Thurman tries to keep talking and shouting over and just play the next clip.
00:23:18
Speaker 7: Guys, be respectful. I am going to do a point of order which I learned from a previous board president, Tony Thurman. I appreciate you being here tremendously, but here's the problem. We're here because of people like you. You're in Sacramento proposing things that pervert children. You had a chance to come and talk to me, Tony, by all means, you had a chance to come talk to me. Why was it so important for you to walk with my opponent? You are the very reason why we're in this.
00:23:54
Speaker 6: Why may I have as a point of order as the board.
00:23:59
Speaker 7: Pro this is not your meeting. You may have a see because if I did that to you in Sacramento, you would.
00:24:03
Speaker 4: Not accept it. Please say you're not gonna blackmail us.
00:24:08
Speaker 7: You already sent us a blackmailing letter on previous You will not bully us here in Chino.
00:24:14
Speaker 6: Please see.
00:24:16
Speaker 7: Cincino break.
00:24:25
Speaker 4: Or what are they chanting?
00:24:31
Speaker 7: You know?
00:24:31
Speaker 6: I figured that out yesterday and I can't remember now. We won't be bullied her or something like that. And then the vote moments later, and I'll do a.
00:24:43
Speaker 7: Roll call out of respect to my colleagues, mister Bridge, no, mister Monroe, yes, mister Cruz, mister naw I, and I'm a yes. The motion passes Florida ro.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: Ah wow. As an exciting little deal.
00:25:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was. And I'm told by folks in the area that there's an influential church in the area that is a fairly fundamentalist and is important in the school district and sometimes maybe they even go overboard and what ought to be in schools and that sort of thing. But I find that practically irrelevant when you look at the fact that the vast majority of Americans, I mean huge majorities, think it's awful to be teaching little kids about, you know, gender fluidity in the genderbred person. They're teaching this stuff in kindergarten. It's absolutely outrageous. It's sick. That video, by the way, which I became aware of through the Twitter account of a group called Gaze Against Groomers. It's gay people who are absolutely not down with the wild radical gender theory crowd. They are much more sane and traditional and saying no, I'm a guy, I'm a gay man, I'm a man, and a lot of these people are activists on the stop putting young effeminate men through surgeries and hormones because they're gay. They're not transgender, they're gay. Let them be gay. And we appreciate their assistance in fighting against the insanity. But I say, well done. Way to stand up to the big impressive, far left Sacramento bureaucrat who's trying to talk you into teaching sickness in your school and the idea that, oh, you know, and I have a lot of information on this, we'll get to it at some point. But those studies that are always cited about they're at fifty percent risk of suicide. That is cherry picked garbage data. It is utterly scientifically invalid. And for the big bureaucrat to come down there and tell them this is about privacy. Yeah, a confused fourteen year old being talked into being transgender by activist teachers and you not being informed about it. The privacy is for the activists to do whatever they want. You can't give your kid a tile in all, but the teachers can change their sex.
00:27:27
Speaker 4: I gotta grab the breaking news. The plea deal, the Hunter Biden plea deal is dead after the judge expressed major concerns about the pretile diversion program for Hunter's felony gun charge. We'll have to look into more. I mean, this is just breaking right now about the gun charge. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's happening here. We'll dig into that and have the details for you coming up. So it's not the tax stuff, it's the gun stuff. Well, I have to look into this. This is just breaking right now. Also have breaking testimony from the UFO hearing that is going on right now.
00:28:00
Speaker 6: Also the UFO hearing. That's right if it's a national security hearing that we need to be better at tracking what these aircraft are. Fine, if you're down with Martians and s, I don't want to hear from you. All right, let's grow up here.
00:28:19
Speaker 4: So we got to look into this Hunter Biden thingy. What's going on as there is went before the judge on all that stuff we talked about earlier in the hour, and we'll bring up to speed on that coming up.
00:28:30
Speaker 1: Armstrong and the Armstrong and Getty Show.
00:28:41
Speaker 6: Someone made a bad mistake here? Am I wrong looking at this saying that these someone whether it be Hunter, Biyens, defense or prosecutors.
00:28:49
Speaker 8: Here, how could there be such a big miscommunication.
00:28:52
Speaker 5: I cannot even begin to explain how the Justice Department walks into that courtroom without knowing exactly what the scope of immunity or coverages for Hunter Biden.
00:29:01
Speaker 4: And equally, I cannot even begin to understand how Hunter.
00:29:04
Speaker 5: Biden's lawyers walk him into that courthouse without knowing exactly what the constraints with the limitations of that deal are.
00:29:12
Speaker 4: No, it's from CNN. Sounds like an odd turn of events here that was not expected about Hunter Biden going before a judge. What has happened Joe Getty, who almost went to law school?
00:29:22
Speaker 6: Well, according to the utterly shamelessly biased New York Times, the two part plea agreement negotiating between Hunter Biden US turning delawares on the verge of collapsing after the judge in the case questioned whether it offered mister Biden blanket immunity from prosecution for his business dealings or only for tax offenses. Oh, I believe we have more in the Weeds analysis in clip ninety three.
00:29:46
Speaker 8: Michael, Remember there are two separate cases here. One is the tax case. Those are the misdemeanor charges. So they've run through the specifics of that agreement. He also has the gun charge, right, that's the felony charge. That's a serious charge that carries a mac some sentence of ten years in prison. But there are two separate agreements. And the judge is focus again and puny and saying to Hunter Biden, so do you understand that the four corners of this tax flea agreement does not include specifically this gun diversion, which would allow him to not avoid to allow him to avoid prison time. And she's saying, if you don't have immunity from other charges, are you still willing to flead guilty to these tax misdemeanors? And he said no, I will not. His lawyer stood up and also widen and said that, you know, confirming that he would not plead without immunity to any other charges, and that could include charges beyond just the gun charge, but also any other potential charges out there.
00:30:42
Speaker 4: Well, does this get to again, wow?
00:30:44
Speaker 6: Thank wait a minute, thank.
00:30:45
Speaker 4: God you almost went to law school. So does this get to the confusion so many people who have had on none of this makes sense. This is not the way it works for anybody else. Why is it working this way? Yeah?
00:30:59
Speaker 6: In a way all the Oh, there are multiple layers of WT I'll go with H, including blanket immunity for all potential crimes. Are you blanking kidding?
00:31:13
Speaker 4: What was that the original deal?
00:31:16
Speaker 6: I don't know that.
00:31:16
Speaker 7: We were.
00:31:17
Speaker 4: We heard about the sweetheart deal. When did that break? A couple of weeks ago? So the sweetheart deal was immunity from anything he ever did.
00:31:23
Speaker 6: Ever, Well, no, that's obscene, that's ridiculous. But that had not become clear to me until this very moment.
00:31:31
Speaker 4: By the way, we got this from somebody in law enforcement who said that whole gun thing is really bs. Anyone, and I mean anyone would get five years for that gun charge, a felon in possession of a gun automatic five year term for that charge for anyone, and Hunter is somehow managed to avoid.
00:31:47
Speaker 6: Wow, he just got lucky, I guess so. The horrifically shamelessly biased New York Times says the deal follows a year's long investigation by the federal prosecutor and David Weiss, a Trump appointee who's kept on by the Biden Justice Department. Everybody always leans on. That is, if everybody is completely biased and nobody's a professional, who does their job. They're just partisans, which is a hell of a view government. And I think I know why Democrats think that way. Anyway, if the judge of Ru's the deal, babba bah. They've tried for years to tie the old man to Hunter's businesses at C, but mister Weiss's investigation found nothing to implicate President Biden. Mister Weiss looked at a range of Hunter Biden's activities, including his international businesses when his father was vice president later during the Crack years, and chose to pursue only the narrow tax and gun charges. The New York Times apparently they didn't have enough room to squeeze in that whistleblowers, a political whistleblowers from the IRS, testified under oath that the Biden Justice departments stymied their investigations, and instead The New York Times just says the prosecutor was a fine fella and was completely unfettered. Decided not to pursue any serious charges because there's no evidence that Joe Biden was tied at all to Hunter. They either live in fantasyland or are professional liars, and I'm leaning towards the second.
00:33:19
Speaker 4: So various news outlets that lean well, I don't know if they lean any direction.
00:33:25
Speaker 6: They're just not as uh, insightful handsome.
00:33:32
Speaker 4: I don't know what. I don't like any of the terms I'm thinking of important, big, Well, none of that matters. But your bigger news outlets New York Times, CBS News, ABC News. I'm looking at all these different they're all saying the Hunter Biden plea deal is in jeopardy or stalled. You And I don't want to say less reputable either, because as we've pointed out, a lot of the places I've just mentioned are incredibly not reputable sometimes, but.
00:33:57
Speaker 6: It's called them the new wave of reputable outlets.
00:34:00
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if they are not, because I don't know the names of a lot of these places. But other places are calling it dead. They're saying the plea deal is dead. What's it look like to you? Does it look like it's dead, like they're gonna have to start over, or is it just stalled?
00:34:12
Speaker 1: Hmmm?
00:34:12
Speaker 6: I don't think I know enough to answer that question.
00:34:16
Speaker 4: USA Today is going with in a stunning turn of events, under Biden's jorneys reject plead deal without immunity for their clients. Oversees business deals Why would he get immunity for anything since that is not you know, sussed out yet.
00:34:30
Speaker 6: Why would you get immunity for that in return for pleading guilty to tax misdemeanors. Are you kidding me, doctor? Or I'm sorry? John Gotti, the godfather of the New York crime families, has agreed to pay all of his parking tickets in exchange for immunity from all of the crimes of the mafia through history. That's effing unbelievable. Put a buck in the swear jar. It was worth it. This is about to explode.
00:35:04
Speaker 4: New York Post headline is Hunter Biden plea deal falling apart in stunning turn of events as prosecutors keep future charges alive future charges around the foreign business deal stuff. Ooh, this is a stunning turn of events.
00:35:19
Speaker 6: Wow uh, professional liar Glenn Thrush writes in The New York Times. Chris Clark, Hunter Biden's lead lawyer, asked for recess ten minutes to hash out a possible compromise salvage of the deal, and the parties were furiously negotiating in full view of three dozen reporters packed into the courtroom.
00:35:34
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's a ten minute break. Maybe they come back together and come up with something. So that sounds stalled or interrupted. Sounds better than dead to me, at least for now.
00:35:47
Speaker 6: Federal District Court Judge Mary Ellen Noraika appointedly asked Leo, Why's top prosecutor in the case. If the deal met, Hunter Biden would be immune from prosecution for other possible crimes, including violations related to representing foreign governments. Hello Wise said no, and Hunter Biden's lawyer responded by saying the agreement was null and void, so Hunter wanted immunity from any charges of being an unregistered foreign agent. Kerb Blewie Boom goes the justice dynamite, Well, were they trying to slip that in at the end or was that the deal all along? I do not know that.
00:36:25
Speaker 4: That couldn't have been the deal all along. We'd have been hearing a lot about that.
00:36:28
Speaker 6: Well, the judge took a look at it and said, whawright.
00:36:31
