1. Tech and the Brain: Attention Span and Devices

[03:29-08:16]

  The show replays an expert's experiment of switching from an iPhone to a flip phone for two weeks, revealing its surprisingly excruciating but enlightening impact.

  • “This forces friction into your life. It takes away all that ease. It was really excruciating at first, but then we went back and the brain tests were really staggering... Your hippocampus, the part of your brain that creates memories—shrinking.” – Expert/Commentator [03:32]

  The hosts riff on a cited study reporting our attention span has dropped from two and a half minutes to 47 seconds since 2000.

  Jack admits using self-driving features daily, feeling driving manually now seems cumbersome, a comment which sparks concerns about mental “atrophy” from over-automation.

[08:24-10:14]

3. Grade Inflation at Elite Universities

[10:14-15:56]

  A new Harvard policy aims to limit the number of A’s given per course, sparking student protest. The hosts discuss generational expectations for easy grades and the roots of grade inflation.

  • “In the last two decades, they went from a quarter of the people to get A’s to the majority easily get A’s.” – Jack Armstrong [11:43]

• The Trophy Generation:
  The guys link inflated grades to the broader “everyone gets a trophy” mentality in education and parenting.

  • “This is the flowering of the everybody gets a trophy generations.” – Joe Getty [12:10]

• Students See A’s as Default:
  They note how students now consider an A the bare minimum, causing distress at the idea of stricter grading.

  • “If you don't get an A, that's like getting a D. And now you're changing the rules on me now that I'm an undergrad…” – Joe Getty [12:34]

• Faculty Perspectives on Capping Grades:
  Professors supporting the cap point out the damage done by constant perfectionism and grade obsession.

  • “Let the kids try something they might not be great at. That's what a university education's supposed to be.” – Joe Getty [15:43]

---

4. Reality TV & Parenting: Million Dollar Nannies

[16:12-19:25]

• Absurd Standards for Modern Nannies:
  The show dissects the new reality series Million Dollar Nannies, where elite families demand nannies with “cultured” skills—from lullabies to plating food with chopsticks.

  • “Sing lullabies with appropriate tone, cadence, gesticulations and respect for cultural nuance.” – Joe Getty, quoting the contract [16:17]
  • “Another mom is obsessed with her minor children's DJ careers.” – Joe Getty [17:59]

---

6. Processing Disorders & Dyslexia: Gavin Newsom’s Challenge

[23:20-29:25]

• Gavin Newsom’s Reading Difficulties:
  A lengthy segment examines CA Governor Gavin Newsom’s public discussion of his processing disorder and dyslexia. Newsom describes the elaborate methods he uses to comprehend what he reads, including underlining and manual note-taking.

  • “So I'll literally...I'll take what's underlined, and then I'll put it out. And this is literally an actual example...I'll just put in pieces of paper everything underlined. And then I'll do that for hours and hours...” – Gavin Newsom [24:38]

• Host Reflections on Learning Disabilities:
  Jack and Joe discuss the intensive "work-arounds" some with learning issues develop, and lament those who go undiagnosed and simply labeled "dumb" in school.

  • “Man, back in the day, I wonder how many...of the dumb kids got yelled at and had something like this and just nobody knew it.” – Jack Armstrong [28:36]

• Newsom’s Framing of His Struggle:
  The hosts feel Newsom did a poor job initially presenting his disability on the public stage but appreciate his later candor, while still questioning his political acumen.

  • “He should have taken this very easy to be sympathetic about story and turned it into something that worked for him as opposed to something incredibly mockable.” – Jack Armstrong [30:02]

---

7. California Homelessness: A Drug Problem Misdiagnosed?

[30:26-35:46]

• Montage: Newsom’s Two-Decade Approach:
  The show features a montage of Newsom’s public statements on homelessness over 22 years, highlighting inconsistent claims of “progress” and solutions, despite worsening conditions.

  • “The state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness.” – Newsom [31:45]

• Homelessness as a Drug Crisis:
  Armstrong & Getty assert California’s policy failure stems from viewing homelessness as a “housing” issue when it’s primarily “a drug problem.”

  • “Why don't you look at it as a drug problem? It's not a housing problem. It's a drug problem.” – Jack Armstrong [33:03]
  • “None of us are worried about our kids...ending up homeless because they're broke. All of us are worried...they start to do drugs and ruin their lives.” – Jack Armstrong [33:48]

• Frustration with Policy Avoidance:
  The hosts bemoan the lack of accountability and the refusal to acknowledge the root causes in both homelessness and in other aspects of social policy, such as youth mental health.

---

8. Self-Perception, Poverty & Progress

[38:42-40:09]

• Thomas Sowell Quote on Victimhood:
  The episode closes with a “freedom-loving quote of the day,” highlighting the dangers of encouraging a victim mentality in the poor, drawn from Jason Riley’s biography of economist Thomas Sowell.

  • “Intellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of a sense of victimhood...” – Joe Getty reading Sowell [39:09]

• Danger of Defeatist Messaging:
  Both hosts stress their disdain for the "soft bigotry of low expectations" and how it can trap people in poverty.

  • “There is nothing more cruel and hateful than...convincing people they're victims and can never get ahead.” – Joe Getty [40:09]

---

9. Listener Engagement and Closing Mailbag

[40:09-44:17]

• Appreciation for Listener Feedback:
  The hosts read from a "mailbag" of listener emails praising the show's unique mix of commentary and humor, discussing show traditions like the fictional “Jack Jr.” and poking fun at education metrics.

[Show Announcer]

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Yeti.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're Armstrong and Getty. Not actually here, but yet still providing you information.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it's a bunch of segments from the last several weeks. The wackiest, the most amusing, insightful, that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, this is very, very exciting. You haven't heard this stuff. Oh, could be. It could be funny, could be touching. You might cry, you might laugh.

[Joe Getty]

It's the Armstrong and Yeti replay. I broke up with my iPhone for

[Expert/Commentator]

two weeks and fooled around with an old school flip phone. But this forces friction into your life. It takes away all that ease. It was really excruciating at first, but then we went back and the brain tests were really staggering. Even the experts are surprised by the difference. Your hippocampus, the part of your brain that creates memories. Shrinking. Because we use Google Maps, we don't navigate the world the way our ancestors did. Our focus has gone from about two and a half minutes. People could focus on something year 2000 or so. Now it's around 47 seconds.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, our hippopotamuses are shrinking.

[Joe Getty]

That's correct. Yeah. Lack of water to the Nile. That's Bill Weir. Really interesting story.

[Jack Armstrong]

So what was the last stat there? I'm sorry, Katie, what was the last stat they had there about our attention span? Obviously I couldn't pay attention.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God, the irony. Police have been alerted. Jack couldn't pay attention long enough to a story about attention span.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I was thinking about my hippopotamus joke.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. The. The average attention span has shrunk from 2 1/2 minutes to 47 seconds.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm surprised it's as long as that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I know that.

[Guest/Caller]

The.

[Joe Getty]

The shrinking hippocampus stuff. I've become convinced of that. In fact, I remember that study made a hell of an impression on me. That cabbies who tended, who knew the city and didn't use navigation systems showed markedly less Alzheimer's disease, dementia in general than cabbies who didn't in a big study.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know some. Oh, that doesn't surprise me. But I know somebody. Remember our old producer, Dominic? Evil, evil Dominic, who is now dead good.

[Joe Getty]

He's like Trump with Was that he said even glad he's dead.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. He said that about Robert Mueller.

[Joe Getty]

Oh that's right. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

But I am glad Dominic's dead. But are Google it you'll agree if you look into it. But he used GPS to get to work and he lived. Not exaggerating like three blocks from the radio station.

[Joe Getty]

Correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

And he used GPS every single day to get to work and to get back home and a few years. And I thought that was extraordinary. And I just found out the other day somebody I know really, really well, I won't say who I was shock talking to me. Uses it for everything in their own town where they've lived for years, going places they've gone hundreds of times. They use it. And I just wonder about our shrinking brains or you know where the hippos go to class. Hippo campus.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, yes. Very wise sidewalks or whatever is going on there. Yes, Katie. So there have been a few times where I will be going somewhere where I absolutely know how to get there,

[Lingokids Advertiser]

but I'll turn on ways just to check traffic.

[Joe Getty]

Was that why he was using it

[Jack Armstrong]

or that's not, that's not what's happening in this particular.

[Joe Getty]

No. Because he was showing up to work at 4:00 in the morning.

[Expert/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Three blocks.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or this person I know who I will not name. That's not, that's not the reason they're doing it. To check traffic.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. So I wonder about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

The wow.

[Joe Getty]

Bad for your brain. You got to use your brain. Use it or lose it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know very many people or I haven't heard from very many people who use self driving all the time like I do. I use it every single day. I thought I, I thought it was pointless. Now I use it every single day. And I drove my regular truck, my Ford F250 diesel yesterday to go pick something up and it seemed so ponderous to have to pay attention and drive.

[Joe Getty]

Oh wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know. How crazy is that? How crazy is that? It just seems like wow, I gotta pay it. I gotta watch the road the entire way. Can't check my emails or whatever. It's. It's changing our brains. You're gonna hear more about that as more people get self driving. It's. It's changing our brains. Not good.

[Joe Getty]

And these are among the first studies I've heard looking into this phenomenon. I think it will be more and more and the science will be more and more settled. I, I hope I haven't ruined my brain by the time, you know, we all hear this stuff. But, yeah, that will be conventional wisdom soon, that. Don't rely on the damn thing for something you could use your brain for instead. I mean, it'd be like me having a robot. And every time I had to lift something more than ten pounds, I'd say, joe Bot, Joe bot, please lift this for me. I can't be troubled. What do you think that would do to my arms?

[Jack Armstrong]

Sit there with your skinny little Timothee Chalamet arms hanging at your side while a robot puts food in your mouth.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, that's the ultimate, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. Oh, speaking of smartphones, I was reading another piece about how the Democrats. I thought they'd stop doing this, but apparently they've doubled down on their. Let's use the F word a lot to show how earthy and regular guy we all are. How angry we are. Exactly. So there's been more of that, but here's my favorite one. Nevada Democratic Congresswoman Susie Lee, who calls herself America's number one most biased bipartisan member of Congress. That's how she characterizes herself. I like bipartisanship. That's fine. She wrote this in a 1am social media post about Trump's trip to the Supreme Court on the birthright citizenship quote, so effing effed up. I'll pray they F him to his face. Sorry, I say F a lot these days. But she spelled it out, obviously. Was that four so far? Yes. At 1am Lee deleted the post, but defended it in a 10am Follow up, saying, my nerve was touched by the attacks on our Constitution and its separation of powers.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think you're a little drunky. Drunk.

[Joe Getty]

I was gonna say, it sounds like your nerves were touched by vodka. Katie's the winner. Katie wins.

[Jack Armstrong]

Katie wins the staff joke of the day.

[Joe Getty]

Well done, Katie. Congratulations. They'll be ordering a plaque on Amazon. It will, with a misprint, will vow to return it and then never get around to it. So let's. Let's be realistic.

[Jack Armstrong]

God, I do that. Way too much

[Joe Getty]

of things to return. And I ended up taking them to Goodwill. I was like, I'm never gonna do this. Right. Let's be realistic.

[Jack Armstrong]

30 days or 60 days or 90 days or whatever passes, and I think, jeez, what a waste of money.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of brain power, maybe this is the time to get to this. If I were a better person, I would not feel so delighted and smug about this. But I'm not. I'm not that person. I'm a bad person. The headline is Harvard's push to Cap A grades has students howling in protest. We'll tell you about that in a moment after a word from our friends at Simplisafe. You're supposed to be so blank and smart. Go out and get an A. Anyway, titled bastard. So I remember when they were contemplating this and there were howls of pain and anguish from the poor little rich kids and alleged geniuses of Harvard. The fact that for years Harvard has been handing out A's, like their participation trophies.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, does this article include those numbers we mentioned a couple of weeks ago? How much change from the early 2000s? I mean, it's just amazing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. They want to cap the number of A's per course at 20%, plus an additional four A's to account for smaller courses with more variability. Those are like your A's to be named later. I don't know if you need them. It comes after a report released in the fall that found that 60% of grades were A's in all classes last school year. 60%. That's up from 25% in 2005. 2006. In the last. Never mind the 1980s.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. In the last two decades, they went from a quarter of the people to get A's to the majority. Easily get A's.

[Joe Getty]

Solid majority. Yes. I mean, that is ridiculous. It is mockable. Well. And imagine it's humiliating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you can't blame the kids. But imagine how, if you're a straight A student at Harvard, you think you've got the world by the tail. Man, I'm gonna walk out of here and just run the world. I'm a straight A student in freaking Harvard.

[Joe Getty]

Well. And again, as much as I would like to smugly judge the kids. And don't worry, folks, I will. They did not raise themselves. They did not decide that everybody should get a trophy. This is the flowering of the everybody gets a trophy generations. Well, what. What drives this? So, so they're saying, I'm sorry, to complete the thought. They're saying, whoa, I've got nothing but A's. My entire school career. It's kind of the default if you don't get an A. That's like getting a D. And now you're changing the rules on me now that I'm an undergrad. And I, I.

[Guest/Caller]

They're.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're.

[Joe Getty]

They gotta suck it up. But it's not like they have no point.

[Guest/Caller]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

And, well, they. They grow up in schools where they hand out A's like crazy. You know, grade school and high school, they Give out A's. Similar numbers, I would guess.

[Joe Getty]

Sure, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You put in some effort, you do a pretty good job. Like you fulfill the minimum requirements and you will get an A. Well, that. If that has been what you've been taught your whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right.

[Guest/Caller]

The.

[Joe Getty]

The teacher swinging their Chardonnay out of their disguised cup after a day of school. I don't think. I don't want it. I don't know. I guarantee it. I don't want to argue with some parents over why their genius got a B. Screw it. I'm giving them A. I don't care.

[Jack Armstrong]

So what drives it? Is it the whole you get a better rating as a teacher thing or.

[Joe Getty]

That's a lot of it. Yeah. Parents complain. I remember back in my day, which was not the 1930s, we were lucky to be at a quote unqu Elite university. Make no mistake, I wasn't in the program that made my university elite at all. But it was an elite university. We were glad to be there and hung on for dear life to stay there. Now they're customers. They're like customers at an expensive resort. And so they're treating such. Now I'm going to make a joke that most Harvard kids wouldn't get because they're so dopey. Thanks to the great inflation, about half of Harvard undergrad students are against this change. 94%. 94% oppose the policy to cap A's.

[Jack Armstrong]

You gotta be kidding.

[Joe Getty]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

So almost all the students think. No, they should. They should hand out 60% ACE.

[Joe Getty]

What? Martin Puckner, an English professor who probably teaches all day about decolonizing the deconstruction of white supremacist literature. He supports the cap because the corrosive effects of grade inflation. You're right. People laugh when they hear you have a college diploma anyway. He said, this is the mildest measure imaginable.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't doubt it.

[Joe Getty]

And they're 94% against it. Wow. Interestingly, final point. This other Harvard psych professor, member of the committee behind the proposal, likens it. Starting college with a new car and trying to go four years without a scratch. You're not going to take it off road. You're not going to do anything interesting with it. He said, boy, this guy's worthy of teaching at Harvard. The proposal wouldn't limit A minuses, only A's. The Grading Proposal committee said this will make A minuses more common and therefore less taboo. We want to liberate students from the tyranny of the 4.0 and make them

[Jack Armstrong]

free to explore yeah, that's true.

[Joe Getty]

Then he says something that ought to earn him a punch in the stomach. We want to put the US back in a minus. First he makes this great point that he says that unless he did that,

[Jack Armstrong]

knowing how jivey that is, he might.

[Joe Getty]

But I love that point. Let the kids try something they might not be great at. That's what a university education's supposed to be. Well said, sir. Well said.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm sure there is pressure to take classes you know you're going to get a gay in, so you keep your 4.0. Yeah.

[Show Announcer]

Armstrong and Getty. The armstrong and getty show.

[Joe Getty]

So imagine a world in which you're hiring a nanny. And among the demands you make of the nanny are that they must quote and this is from the contract, sing lullabies with appropriate tone, cadence, gesticulations and respect for cultural nuance. Or the kind of parents who pepper the would be nanny with questions like name three luxury brands who do strollers. If you can't relate to that, you can't relate to the people in the brand new show, Million Dollar Nannies. Chanel, a desperate job seeker guest, a bead of sweat pulsing on her forehead in the luxury Ibiza sun. No, that is wrong. Million Dollar Nannies, which premieres on Freeform and apparently that's a thing. And also Hulu, which I have heard of, is about the aspirations of a bleached blonde Californian who was part of the Kardashian childcare ecosystem, who now has gone to Europe with nothing but a Rolodex and a vague plan to open a new nanny agency to serve the rich. And vacationing. We're not babysitters, we're elite travel nannies. And so the reality show is about the. The would be nannies who are described in hilarious fashion in this article, including Taylor, a shiny Barbie with stalker eyes. Just when you think, don't write that. Readers will say it's misogynistic. Taylor is sobbing on a beach declaring that a client she's known for one week is the mom she never had. Sometimes the eyes don't lie. It's like the realtor eyes. Yeah, she got them.

[Guest/Caller]

She got them.

[Joe Getty]

Realtor eyes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Who wants a beautiful nanny?

[Joe Getty]

Tiny blonde millionaire insists that her nannies quote, cultivate independence from the patriarchy in any male dominated hierarchy. Another mom is obsessed with her minor children's DJ careers. And this writer says, I think that it says something that the most normal parents are a trio of gay guys who all insist on being known as Daddy Jim, Daddy John, etcetera. Who have each had plastic surgery to make them look like each other.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's three of them.

[Joe Getty]

And who insist in their employment contract that the nannies offer, quote, personal assistance with grooming and spray tanning is reasonably requested. Yes, yes, there are three of them. It's a gay throuple parenting situation.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're going to have your nanny spray tan you.

[Joe Getty]

Some of the dads and moms insist the nannies use chopsticks to plate and arrange the children's food because of course a poor person dispensing a Cheez it with their bare hands is disgusting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Does it say what any of these people did for a living to get rich enough to be able to afford a million dollar nanny?

[Joe Getty]

Doesn't that's not literally what it costs, but no, I don't think they get very specific about the clients. But of course, the nannies, which include two nanners, what do they call. There's a couple male nannies. They're all of course, ridiculously hot.

[Show Announcer]

Of course.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I would like to be able to watch and enjoy a show like that. I just, I don't think I can.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Trump couldn't get anybody to play his White House thing because musicians don't want to be seen as Trump adjacent. Obama, of course, does not have that problem. So for the library opening June 18, was that yesterday? It's tomorrow. Tomorrow you got Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, the Roots, Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguirre, Common, you two's, you two, Eddie Vedder, Mark Antony and others that they're adding. I mean, that is quite the a list of musicians.

the Armstrong and Getty show.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, who's almost certainly running for president. We talked a lot last week about that thing where he was on stage. I've heard various reports about how much that was a black audience or not the host was black. A lot of the audience was black. Was it mostly black audience? I don't know because originally it was portrayed to me as a black event. And Gavin Newsom said on stage and said, hey, I'm just like you I got a terrible grade on my SATs, which is a weird thing to say.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Hilariously parodied here on the show.

[Jack Armstrong]

I still think he portrayed his. And then he jumps in. I can't read a book. You've never seen me read a speech. I can't read. I think he didn't do the best job of laying that out. What's going on there? He has a. A processing disorder with his brain, like lots of people do. I think I've learned that I do on some things that I just. I read different things that I see. It's very minor, but now I. Once I discovered it, it's like, oh, yeah, obviously, I've always done this. His is pretty bad. And I thought this was just really interesting. If you have a processing disorder, if you've got a kid with one. Mark Halperin interviewing Gavin Newsom about his.

[Joe Getty]

Can you read?

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you read a book?

[Guest/Caller]

I can read. I used to have to underline it. I can't read spatially, I can't. That's why I can't read a speech mark, because spatially I'll lose the line. So I'll literally. And I mean, I wish I had a book here. If you ever lend me a book. That's why I don't go to the library, because I can never return the book. I have to underline. And then what I'll do is I'll take what's underlined and then I'll put it out. And this is literally an actual example. I'll just put in pieces of paper, everything underlined. And then I'll do that for hours and hours and hours. And then eventually I'll put it on a little yellow card, which will have just quick notes, and then it's in my head. But that's the process. Everything online I have to print out. So I take what's online, print out your blog or something, and then underline it and then put it in here. So it's a. It's a process.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you can't. You can't read on a phone. You can't read on a phone or an iPad.

[Guest/Caller]

I can. I just get. I start daydreaming. I start drifting off. And so it's.

[Joe Getty]

So if you have 10 is the key. Yeah, so. So if you're reading. If you're reading my book, say you.

[Jack Armstrong]

You open it and you just. You just start underlining as you read 100 and circles. Yeah.

[Guest/Caller]

I make stars. And then I go back, and without exception, I'll go back to every Book I read, and then I will write it out. I have hundreds and hundreds of these pads.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought that was really interesting. Guys, I've known a few people explain to me how they, like one with a PhD, how they had to get through school, like record all lectures, take them home, and then type them out or something, because they didn't have the ability to process them in any other way or whatever. I mean, the amount of work you have to do if you have one of these processing disorders, beyond what the rest of us have to do to get the same information, is just incredible. And then some people either don't or can't put in that amount of work because it'd be so time consuming. And then they really struggle in life.

[Joe Getty]

It's probably worth noting that this is not about Gavin Newsom per se. I mean, he's a liar and utterly unprincipled and a scammer and a schemer of 100 different ways. And as my T shirt indicates, the one I'm wearing today, if he were elected president, he would ruin the entire country. But this is about dyslexia.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, roll on with that, Michael.

[Guest/Caller]

And this is the gift. This is the gift of dyslexia. I know people want to mock it and mock people that didn't do well academically, but the gift is a superpower because it allows you with discipline. It's hard work.

[Expert/Commentator]

Grid.

[Guest/Caller]

It's what my mom, you know, that's what. That's her legacy. It gives you the ability then to be able to absorb a lot, but also allows you the ability to be much more flexible. Allows you the ability to, I think, to have strengths where others struggle and find weakness.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I don't know anything about that angle of it, but I also thought it was interesting him say, because I know. I know kids who have this problem of they just. They can't not space out. They can't read two words without spacing out. Well, that's not dyslexia.

[Joe Getty]

So does he adhd or might be screen addiction? Who knows?

[Jack Armstrong]

So he has. He has dyslexia and adhd maybe, or. I would think he would know. I'm sure he's been tested for all

[Joe Getty]

this sort of stuff.

[Jack Armstrong]

But, yeah, from what I understand of dyslexia, I don't understand dyslexia as much as I understand adhd, because I know so many people with it. But sounds like he has both. That. That's something. And then. So. Because if he under. If he draws, he reads along, because he kind of showed in the video, if he underlines it as he reads along, he can stay focused and read it in the proper order. For some reason, I wonder how he discovered that or if that's true for everybody with dyslexia or only him. I don't know. But I've known a number of people that came up with workarounds just like intuitively or stumbled upon them or whatever. Workarounds to where they could make their brain work to take in the information, whether record it and listen to it as opposed to read it or is easier to read on. Like with him, he can do it on paper, but not on the screen. Man, back in the day, I wonder how many of the kids in, in school that we all knew that were just. They were dumb kids.

[Joe Getty]

They were.

[Jack Armstrong]

The dumb kids got yelled at and had something like this and just nobody knew it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, a lot. I have a feeling. Yeah, a lot. And I can think of a couple of the weird kids were absolutely autistic back in, in my childhood as well.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought that was really interesting. I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

It is interesting, Gavin. It doesn't explain why you have zero principles.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and it. You'd have more compassion for it. I don't think he presented it in the best way the other day to alert everybody as people are starting to become aware of Gavin Newsom across the country and as a presidential candidate and all that sort of stuff to say I'm as dumb as you, I can't read. I don't know that that was the best way to present this learning disability thing that he figured out.

[Guest/Caller]

We're all human. We all fall short sometimes.

[Joe Getty]

That's a good point, Gabby. I think Democratic donors would do well to remember Maya Angelou's famous proclamation that when somebody tries to tell you what kind of person they are, believe them. Gavi cannot hit major league pitching. He is a one party state anointed star. He is not a major leaguer and, and he's proved it a couple of times lately. But they'll keep running him up the flagpole because he's good luck and well, reasonably well spoken. Although as you heard in those clips, not great.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I feel like Gavin new or Mark Halpern bailed Gavin out of the thing that happened a week or so ago by letting him explain all this in a way that he should have done himself. I mean, as a good politician, he should have taken this very easy to be sympathetic about story and turned it into something that worked for him as opposed to something incredibly mockable.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I would agree. And even his explanation to. To Halpern. He needed help from Halpern to explain himself. It's just he's not a major leaguer. Speaking of Gavin Newsom, if you don't mind, we do have a delightful montage of Gavin Newsom talking about solving the quote unquote homelessness problem in California, which is mostly a junkie problem for the last 22 years. Michael, let's hear it.

[Guest/Caller]

What we call a 10 year plan to end chronic homeless in San Francisco. How are you going to solve homelessness? What are you going to do as a new mayor? And I said, well, what are you going to do on a housing first model? Direct access to housing, shelter. Solve sleep housing with wraparound and support services. Solve homelessness. Homelessness absolutely can be solved. Laid out a detailed homeless strategy. There's been no intentionality on homelessness in the state for decades. It's not been a focus. I don't think we can solve homelessness. I know we can solve homelessness. We will reduce street homelessness quickly and humanely through emergency action. The highest investment the state's ever made is $1 billion on homelessness. We are poised to pass a budget in the next few hours that will provide $12 billion. It can literally quantify 58, 000 people that we got off the streets last year. This state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness.

[Joe Getty]

Why?

[Guest/Caller]

Not interested in funding failure? We're not interested in failing more efficiently when it comes to the issue of homelessness and the crisis on the street.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like that music was mocking in tone.

[Joe Getty]

I didn't notice. I love the juxtaposition of we have made enormous progress. 52,000 people. Then the next clip was probably six months later. The state has made no progress in dealing with the homelessness. Oh my God. So funny.

[Jack Armstrong]

Tragicomics was a year or two ago that we Californians got hit with the fact that somewhere between a third and a half of all the homeless people in the entire United States are in California because people figured out not only is the weather good, but they'll let you be drunk or high your whole life. They'll provide you housing and food, and nobody's going to arrest you for standing on the corner high and building a tent. It's awesome.

[Joe Getty]

Come to California. The revelation. It was a similar time frame that not only could they not tell us how effective the various programs had been, there wasn't even a mechanism for figuring it out.

[Lingokids Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

There was no even effort toward accountability

[Jack Armstrong]

which should have been a much bigger scandal. To say it for the one millionth time, I honestly wish I could talk to Gavin about this. Why don't you look at it as a drug problem? It's a drug problem. It's not a housing problem. It's a drug problem.

[Guest/Caller]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

You got a whole bunch of people who ruin their lives with drugs and no longer can participate in the economy and they end up on the street. And we. And it's pretty obvious to them from looking around that we have a support structure for living on the street where you can get food and shelter and continue your life and medical care and all that sort of stuff and make

[Joe Getty]

sure you don't have enough negative consequences to stop you before you ruin your brain. You're like, absolutely ensuring these people will ruin their brains.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, it's funny, I just popped into my head, like, I, I've had this conversation with other people have kids like I do you teenagers. None of us are worried about our kids, like, not being able to support themselves, so ending up homeless because they're broke. All of us are worried about our kids starting to do drugs and ruining their lives, right? And then. And could end up on the street. I mean, that, that answers the question right there. Who's worried that their kid is going to end up homeless on the street economically just plaid out. You can't find a job or get. Find some roommates or whatever. Very, very few. But drugs absolutely could take you off the rails.

[Joe Getty]

Right? I'm honestly asking this question, the willful misdiagnosis of what the real issue is. You got the one we just laid out. And then you've got a kid who is, excuse me, autistic or victim of trauma or has some other psychological problems, mental illness problems in detail. You know it. You're trapped in the wrong body. You're actually a little boy. You're not a girl, you're a boy. You should take these hormones instead of dealing with the actual root problem. And that's. These are the compassionate people of the left. I, I would like to spend two minutes in their heads just to figure out how the hell they work. I don't get that. You've got an unhappy child. Instead of working hard to understand why they're so unhappy, you go with this wildly ideological new philosophy. In fact, you brand anybody who has a serious talk with the child about what's actually at the root of their problems, you brand those people as deprogrammer. What's the, what's the word with the, you know, de. Gayifiers. Or what have you. God, it's sick. If you want to help people, you have to understand what's afflicting them. Can we agree on? And if we can't, God help us.

Here's your freedom loving quote of the day sent along. Oh, that's nice. Let me rearrange that. Excuse me. Work in progress sent along by alert listener Steve. It's a quote from from Maverick, a biography of Thomas Sowell written by another great writer, Jason Riley.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh wow.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know that I would like to read that. Love Jason.

[Jack Armstrong]

I have to have Jason on do a long form podcast with him on that book.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know. Is that a recent publication? I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll bet he'd do it anyway.

[Joe Getty]

You know, I've in my, my study, my den, my man cave, I have a big portrait of H.L. menken, my hero, and another one of George Orwell. And I really need a portrait of Soul, but I haven't found one that I really, really like. If anybody has one or two or wants to send me a link, feel free. Anyway, here's what he said. Intellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of a sense of victimhood. They have encouraged the poor to believe that their poverty is caused by the rich, a message which may be a passing annoyance to the rich but a lasting handicap to the poor who may see less need to make fundamental changes to their own lives that could lift themselves up instead of focusing their efforts on dragging others down, down. It's absolutely true.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't think that you can fully appreciate that worldview enough having been quite broken. My life for whatever reasons, mostly my upbringing, guess it never crossed my mind for a moment that it was somebody else's fault, the situation I was in.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, and I've said many times there is nothing more cruel and hateful than the soft bigotry of low expectations or convincing people they're victims and can never get ahead. That's like a life sentence to misery. When you communicate that to say, a young black child, I despise it with everything I believe.

[Joe Getty]

We wish you could succeed. I wish you could too. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I run into people, they say, what do you do for a living? I explain to them and I say, you should tune in. It's delightful.

[Joe Getty]

That email pertains directly to what you and I were talking about off the air. Jack, about that book that knocked my socks off and I just ordered a copy of it. Remind me. Let's talk about that next hour.

[TNA Wrestling Announcer]

Okay?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

It's funny how this is all fitting together, like in the space of 45 minutes. Moving along, Shishan writes. Guys, I have a show idea for today. I thought maybe you could do a no news Friday. You could talk about gardening, discuss your favorite type of potato. Jack could update us on Jack Jr. He's got to be in his mid-30s by now. Michael could talk about his cat's favorite sweaters. Just consider it. Great idea, Jishan. Just ill timed, my lad. God, I've been talking about Crazy News Day.

[Jack Armstrong]

I started talking about Jack Jr. When I was 19. On the radio, I think. So Jack Jr. Is pretty old. Well into his 40s.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Fantasy. Not a fantasy. Yeah. What's the. What's the word I'm looking for? I hate getting old. He's a imaginary child. A fictional child. If I had a child. Right, right, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

It worked for many things for me to talk about over many, many years before I ever had kids.

[Joe Getty]

His upbringing was not without bumps and setbacks. Anyway. No kidding. Mary in the hoe with a great point. We were talking about the miserable failures of America's government schools. And it is miserable. You know, when you're talking about the depressingly low numbers of students who are performing at a proficient level. It's actually even more depressing than you realize. That's because proficient 70% performing at a basic level is 50%. What? 50% on a test is failing by a long shot. If little Mary Jr. She goes to school with Jack Jr. That's funny. That's spontaneous second mention of Jack Jr. If Mary Jr. Came home with a 50% on a test, I would be thinking, oh God. I would not be thinking oh God. Good. She has a basic understanding of the material. No, I'd be thinking she's dumb.

[Show Announcer]

Af.

[Joe Getty]

I gotta get that. Get a tutorial. When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to become a good measure. Resist we much.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is a great email right there. A lot of interesting stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Love you Mary. Let's see, do we see the great

[Jack Armstrong]

thing about Jack Jr. As a fictional character was he varied in age between newborn and, you know, high school junior.

[Joe Getty]

Depending on what I was telling you. He was versatile.

[Jack Armstrong]

He was versatile.

[Joe Getty]

And then finally this Sarah writes, sure took long enough. Jack, get your heathen ass to a church. My fiance and I attend an old Lutheran church in Lodi, California Missouri Synod. Good old school values. Singing old hymns to a gigantic pipe organ. Very traditional, often called Catholic Light.
