Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Government Waste, Fraud, and Public Trust

Segment Start: [03:21]

• Medicare Fraud Story (CBS News Report):

  • A California hospice doctor’s name appears on claims from 126 different hospices, with $71 million in 2024 Medicare claims.
    • “The government can't catch $100 million clearly misspent because they have one doctor who's the director at 126 different hospices.” – Jack Armstrong [05:01]
  • Discussion of systemic fraud: Armstrong & Getty emphasize that small business expense reports are scrutinized, but the government misses massive theft.
    • “The only way…Don’t give them the money in the first place. That’s the only thing you can do.” – Jack Armstrong [07:09]
  • Citing journalist Megan McArdle: Historical examples show outrage never leads to reform; apathy prevails.

• Taxation and Patriotism:

  • They criticize arguments that high taxation equals patriotism, especially when government spending is widely perceived as waste.
    • “Play the freaking patriot card on me when it comes to paying ridiculous taxes… that you’re then going to waste…” – Jack Armstrong [09:03]

---

2. Debates Over School & Gender Ideology

Segment Start: [09:35]

• Ongoing progressive “woke” policies in education and gender issues are discussed. Armstrong & Getty express skepticism that such policies will be reined in soon, but some hope for eventual “sanity.”

  • “Those battles are far, far from over. Although… they’re so completely insane, surely sanity will win that battle eventually.” – Joe Getty [09:37]

3. Food Trends & Shifting American Diets

Segment Start: [13:24]

    • Products removing artificial dyes; ex: “Even gummy fish are getting a change. Jack, no more Red 3. Hello, beet juice.” – Joe Getty [15:00]

• Moderation Over Fads:

  • Both hosts are skeptical of dietary fads.
    • “I do not get caught up in crazes. I figure just moderation, be smart, just don’t be excessive in any direction and you’ll probably be fine.” – Joe Getty [20:03]

• High-Fructose Corn Syrup Disappearing:

  • Public sentiment and scientific consensus align against it, indicating a real shift in food manufacturing and consumer expectations.

4. Socialism in Theory vs. Practice

Segment Start: [25:09] (with primary debate at [31:45])

• Property Rights vs. Collectivism:

  • New York official Sia Weaver’s remarks about moving toward collective property rights are mocked:
    • “A different relationship to property. That’s a lot of words to say people shouldn’t be able to own homes.” – Jack Armstrong [26:17]

  • Washington State Rep. Sean Scott argues Cuba is a success story for socialism, citing high literacy and public healthcare.

    • The hosts deride the claim, emphasizing the realities of oppression, poverty, and repression in Cuba.

  • Armstrong & Getty discuss how future warfare may be dominated by electronic pulses, drones, and non-conventional technological attacks.

You fired up the grill, you strung the lights. You even cleaned the patio furniture. But let's be honest, your cornhole set is an embarrassment this summer. Level up with official American Cornhole League gear. We're talking pro quality boards, bags, and everything you need to become the undisputed backyard champion of your entire neighborhood. Or at least beat your brother in law. Shop [e-mail] because summer's too short for bad cornhole.

Think about it. When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made, and know exactly what you're getting. But with dog food, most brands keep that completely hidden. Just Food for Dogs does the opposite. They've built their entire brand around open kitchens. You can actually walk in and watch them prepare your dog's meals with real human grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots and peas cooked right there in front of you. No mystery, no behind the scenes, you're not allowed to see. That kind of transparency is rare in the pet food world and it's a big reason they've become the number one vet recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you exactly how your dog's food is made, it says a lot about the care, quality and standards behind every meal they produce. Nothing to hide, everything to love.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatt.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Giddy. You don't know this about us, but behind the scenes we're really, really cruel and demanding. Armstrong and Yeti here and the staff has been busily assembling during our vacation a collection of clips and things that have happened in recent months that are especially entertaining and evergreen, as we say.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, some good stuff from the radio showing. Some good stuff from the One More Thing podcast that you probably haven't heard before. So I think you're really going to like it.

[Joe Getty]

It's the Armstrong and Getty replay.

[Jack Armstrong]

So this isn't funny. Stealing your money. The state of California again. But lots of government programs do this. Thank you CBS News for doing this story yesterday.

[CBS News Reporter]

Our doctors trusted to approve care, but one stands out. His name appeared on claims from 126 hospices and he had 60% more in Medicare reimbursements than the next closest doctor in 2024. Dr. Rajiv Buva. We wanted to ask. Dr. Bu managed to work for so many different providers, so we followed a trail of hospice offices across the LA basin linked to his name. $71 million in Medicare claims in 2024. We understand that Dr. Rajiv Buva is the medical director here. We're just trying to get some information about him.

[Hospice Representative]

He's not. No.

[CBS News Reporter]

Was he at some point?

[Joe Getty]

Yes, he was.

[CBS News Reporter]

But you're telling me he no longer is associated with you guys?

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[CBS News Reporter]

Was he at some point?

[Hospice Representative]

Thank you.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know how the company you work for can catch you if you spend $20 you shouldn't have on an expense report when you claim you're taking a client out to lunch or whatever? The government can't catch $100 million clearly

[Joe Getty]

misspent because they one doctor who's the director at 126 different hospices. My he must work long hours because

[Jack Armstrong]

they don't even try. CBS goes on in California a hospice

[CBS News Reporter]

doctor care an average of 140 patients in a year. In 2024 claims with Buva's name were submitted for nearly 2800 terminally ill patients.

[Karen & Georgia (My Favorite Murder)]

There's no reason to think that that's legitimate.

[CBS News Reporter]

Dr. Christina Newport, a hospice physician of 18 years says there are several reasons why one doctor could be linked to so many patients. One of those reasons identity theft.

[Karen & Georgia (My Favorite Murder)]

They, you know would have a superhuman

[Joe Getty]

schedule to do that in a meaningful way.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, you don't have to even pretend that you need to make an argument. No need.

[American Cornhole League Announcer]

No.

[Joe Getty]

Just make derisive Jo about that, please. It's ridiculous.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I'm glad to see belatedly the mainstream media jumping on this story. It was independent conservative journalists. What was the name of the young man who the independent guy provocateur. I can't remember. You ought to get credit. But they didn't. None of them was aware of this or pretended to care until he came along.

[Jack Armstrong]

True. I don't have any hope that this will stop or that we will turn it around. I have hope that like an hour two we went big on the whole public school disaster in America. I'll bet we turn that around. I'll bet awareness comes along and we turn that around. There are a number of things that I believe we will fix. The whole trans surgeries for kids has peaked and we're on the other side of it. We're going to turn that around. I have no hope that we're going to be able to stop thieving from taxpayers because people just don't care enough. I don't see that changing at all.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. Who did you get that insight from? It doesn't really matter. But the polls show you just can't get people to sustain. That was their outrage.

[Jack Armstrong]

Megan McArdle, libertarian who writes for the Washington Post and works for the Dispatch. She went through many, many examples throughout history of these scandals burbling up, everybody being aghast and nothing ever happening to do anything about it. We just don't feel like we can or the what system would you put in place or what ever. You just can't mobilize people to do anything about wasteful government programs. Which is why as a fiscal conservative I'm big on the Milton Friedman thing. The only way. There's one single way you can do this. Don't give them the money in the first place. That's the only thing you can do.

[Joe Getty]

And I agree completely. And the other thing that makes it impossible to turn this around. I remember my fantasy that I expressed the other day. No, not that one. This one. That if you could spray truth serum all over Washington D.C. you walk up there and say, hey, I want a little fiscal reform here. Protect the taxpayers. And they would say, look, everyone you see, everything you see is in on a scam. So good luck with that. Sonny.

[Jack Armstrong]

The. What was I listening to yesterday? What would I would have been listening to that would have had this conversation? Anyway, they were going on and on about that argument that Mamdani and AOC and some have, Governor Hochschule of New York, that if you're a patriot, you stay and you pay your high taxes. You're a, you're a, you're a bad citizen if you're trying to get out of paying your taxes, which obviously makes the assumption that when I give you this money, you're doing something worthwhile with it. And you and I disagree on that.

[CBS News Reporter]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

To say you disagree is the understatement of the century. Yeah, it's so right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So play the freaking patriot card on me. When it comes to paying ridiculous taxes in high tax states that you're. Then you're going to waste on this homeless program or that. What was this one we were just doing the, the fraud around hospice and everything.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. And there are a hundred examples. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my gosh.

[Joe Getty]

It's enough to piss a fella off.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're unpatriotic because you moved to another state so you wouldn't have to pay

[Joe Getty]

those taxes in response to that. Yeah, exactly. But it's not arable. Although Trump would certainly truth it out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, he would.

[Joe Getty]

Which to bring a couple of threads together there, Mamdani and Co. And in some of the progressive states, they're pushing the woke thing further that it is on the front foot, like in California and New York and Minnesota and other places are pushing the gender bending madness for kids forward right now. They've just learned to disguise it a little better. So, you know, those battles are far, far from over. Although I agree with you, Jack, they're so completely insane. Surely sanity will win that battle eventually. Just a question of how many kids get scarred. Oh, speaking of which, we had a, a victim of transgender activists testified before the California legislature.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just listened to that.

[Joe Getty]

That is extreme enough. Yeah, we're going to feature that. I don't know Maybe hour four. Gender bending madness update. Very powerful and very, very sad. It's the same damn story over and over again. Confused, alienated kid, maybe autistic, maybe the victim of abuse wants to reject themselves. And like, getting a new haircut isn't enough for some alienated kids struggling with emotional problems. And so. And they're not going to commit suicide, but they reject themselves by being convinced to change their sexual appearance. They're convinced that will make them a new person, a happy person, a healthy person. It is evil on the level of. It's practically. Well, it's horrific child abuse that these activists participate in, in my opinion. And anyway, more on that later.

[Jack Armstrong]

Get to that. An hour four.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, once I start, I have a hard time stopping because I just. I hate it so much.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was just thinking, one of the advantages of the Springsteen cancer concert, having the set list that I've seen is going around everything like that I've got a planned bathroom break in there. That. That Streets of Minneapolis song. Oh, I know. I can go to the bathroom and, like, really take my time because it's a very long, annoying song, as Bruce himself might say.

[Joe Getty]

Jack, everybody's got a hungry heart and a full bladder. So why don't you take now this moment to go to the bathroom?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, Katie, I don't know if that's

[Joe Getty]

a good time to go.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're gonna get the most liberal emotion and psychosis around you. I feel like during that song. No, he. He gives a number of speeches from what I've seen. I mean, it's San Francisco. I've seen the speeches he gave in Portland and Minneapolis in the first couple of legs of this tour. Oh, all right, fair enough.

[Joe Getty]

I'm surprised you're subjecting yourself to this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I can't wait to hear the music. And I want my kids to see Springsteen. This might be the last time him in the E Street Band ever, ever do their thing.

[Joe Getty]

Are his shows really long? Yeah, they're not as long as they used to be.

[Jack Armstrong]

This one's been running three hours. Pretty long.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I. As Jack and I and our brilliant agent Derek were texting yesterday, I saw him and the river long, long, long time ago. And it was one of the most amazing musical things I've ever seen. The skill, the tightness of the band just. And I love, love, love the songs. But at around the 3 hour and 45 minute mark, I was like, dude, it's been great. But seriously, enough, enough. It's been fun.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's been ending okay. He's been ending with Purple Rain. So I want to stick around and see that because it's pretty awesome.

[Joe Getty]

All right, so are you into the fiber maxing, Jack? Yes. No.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if I am or not.

[Joe Getty]

Grocery aisles are changing rapidly in the age of Maha and Ozempic. You got your mahe, your ozempic, your fiber maxing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Powerful forces pushing the is make America healthy again.

[Joe Getty]

Si, senor.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Anyway, could be the biggest overhaul in the decades to. In decades to supermarket shelves. You got cities, states, and federal governments scrutinizing ingredients and processed foods. And for a lot of consumers, protein and whole milk are in. Seed oils are out. Everybody wants more fiber, more protein. So in response, top food companies from Kraft Heinz to General Mills are reimagining familiar brands as they work to ditch the artificial dyes, stuff protein into their products. And new federal dietary guidelines that we saw last week could accelerate many of these moves.

[Jack Armstrong]

That sounds mostly awesome. I'm kind of surprised that RFK Jr. S bellowing about various things has caused enough of a change in people's habits that grocery stores want to change the way they structure their aisles. Is the seed oil thing for real?

[Joe Getty]

Or.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, is there anything to that?

[Joe Getty]

Can't get a grasp of that. That's actually the next paragraph is they describe that giant companies from Campbell's to PepsiCo are launching or expanding potato chip lines made with avocado oil or olive oil instead of seed and corn oils, which are one of the worst things you can eat, according to RFK Jr.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, I don't know. I don't.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

I have no idea.

[Joe Getty]

Even gummy fish are getting a change. Jack, no more Red three. Hello, beet juice.

[Jack Armstrong]

Unless you're four years old, you should not be eating gummy fish. And your four year old probably shouldn't either.

[Joe Getty]

So companies behind candy browns from Gushers to a. Katie. Yes. I was gonna say 4 years old

[Jack Armstrong]

or pregnant, but anyway, continue. Have you had some gummy? No, I can't.

[Joe Getty]

Harsh judgments are unwelcome to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't stop on the gummy fish. Gummy sour anything right now.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know why.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's awful for me. I know it. But that's what you're wanting?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Do you like Swedish fish at all? Love Swedish. Oh, my wife is so into Swedish fish.

[American Cornhole League Announcer]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're so good. So you keep eating those gummies, though. You're gonna have a bright orange or

[Joe Getty]

bright yellow kid, something like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm sure that's how it works.

[Hospice Representative]

Yeah,

[Joe Getty]

that's science.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, here at work, they've got the vending machine thingy like they do in a lot of workplaces now, where you, you take stuff off hanging on the wall and you go over to the barcode thingy and pay for it. But there's so much crap like that, gummy this and gummy that. And I, I always wonder who here is eating this stuff. You're an adult who's doing.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, Judgy McGee Judgeson. You got a pie fork in your jacket.

[Jack Armstrong]

Justify pie 8 million times over versus eating gummy bears as a grown up.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. The Supreme Court is not taking your case.

[American Cornhole League Announcer]

Please.

[Joe Getty]

Ridiculous. Terrible. Anyway, you expect to see more turmeric and spirulina extracts and fruit and vegetable ju listed on your candy wrappers in the next few years in response to demands from consumers, state laws in the Trump administration.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fruit and vegetable juice sounds good. Turmeric. Turmeric. I have no idea whether I need more turmeric.

[Joe Getty]

High fructose corn syrup is disappearing from places you wouldn't even thought to look at.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now, that seems to be pretty solidly. Everybody agrees that's bad, right? The high fructose corn syrup.

[Joe Getty]

I haven't heard any serious disagreement. No.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. I was at a restaurant last night, Henry and I, where they got their soda machine, and it's gotten big letters on there. They make their own colas and lime, you know, Sprite, like, whatever. No, high fruit fructose. None of that.

[Karen & Georgia (My Favorite Murder)]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

None of the corn syrup, so. And Americans feel that's appealing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I think it is.

[Joe Getty]

I think it is. I don't know anybody who's ever said, oh, man, I love that high fructose corn syrup. I won't take a substitute. I mean, I don't think it has any advocates other than it saves the food companies money as they make us all obese. Bill Maher's been at war against high

[Jack Armstrong]

fructose corn syrup for a very long time with all kinds of charts about the rise in that. In our stuff, and the rise in obesity, which track almost perfectly, and various subsidies that go to farmers for corn

[Joe Getty]

to drive that and blah, blah, blah. I don't know, but I'll bet he's right on that. Yeah. Americans are also protein obsessed. Weight loss drugs have intensified demand for the nutrient, and food companies are jamming it into just about everything they can. I don't eat cereal because I'M an adult, but witness cereal.

[Jack Armstrong]

Consider cereal a childish food.

[Joe Getty]

Sugar cereals, there's all kinds of grown

[Jack Armstrong]

up cereals you don't have to eat. Fruity Pebbles.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I know, I know. Well, good, because I don't think I could choke it down. I actually really love Frosted Mini Weights. That's got flavor. I'm sorry, fiber. I like raisin flavor too.

[Jack Armstrong]

Raisin Bran kind of helps me with my, like my prune situation.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, fair enough. Anyway, so witness the cereal aisle now. Home to Cheerios protein, Nature Valley Protein Granola. I actually eat those. I shouldn't, but. Cocoa Puffs Brains.

[Jack Armstrong]

How about Cocoa Puffs? They good for you?

[Joe Getty]

I don't really. I don't think they are. Yeah. Anyway, Kennedy's maha movement is touted beef tallow made from the melted down fatty tissue of cattle carcasses. That does sound yumm. So that's a gate oil alternative.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a big topic of conversation among people who love McDonald's french fries, that they are going back to the beef tallow or got away from it. I don't remember which. You do know.

[Joe Getty]

No, I don't specifically, but a lot of restaurants and food brands are switching to tallow instead of seed oil. I love this. In its forecast of food trends for 2026, Amazon.com's Whole Foods Market said tallow is making a comeback quote as a nourishing and nostalgic f. I tell you what is. The clock ticks the calendar pages flip along for the fats of yesteryear. I miss playing high school sports and the good rock and roll and the fats we would ingest.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't know that we knew we were eating beef tallow back in the day.

[Joe Getty]

Many doctors in the American Heart association endorse seed oils and say they're better for you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, see, that's where it gets complicated. Of course, there's a number of people who would say the opposite of what RFK Jr says just because they hate Trump. True.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I got to admit, on the whole dietary thing, I do not get caught up in crazes.

[Karen & Georgia (My Favorite Murder)]

I don't.

[Joe Getty]

I just, I. I figure just moderation, be smart, just don't be excessive in any direction and you'll be probably fine. U. S. Sales of whole milk rose by 5% in the last year. That compares with a 1% decline of all cow's milk during the same period. So if people are buying milk, increasingly they're buying whole milk. I eat whole milk yogurt. I decided to try some 2% and it doesn't keep me full. Nearly.

[Jack Armstrong]

What do you wear? A skirt?

[Joe Getty]

Come on, get some whole milk. Pretty. Yeah, I know. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, look for changes in your food aisles and do whatever the hell you want because I don't care.

[Karen & Georgia (My Favorite Murder)]

Hi, it's Karen in Georgia from My Favorite Murder.

We cruised around LA in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and dove into the fascinating life of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.

Want the full story?

Take a listen, Hetty. She starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him?

I mean, I watch the Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me to know about him. But incredible innovator, right?

She says he's a, quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.

Give us examples.

I know they do get along intellectually. And in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings. And she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of, like, what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode, spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hedy and Lamarr and Billie Jean King.

Presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

[Podcast Host]

Goodbye,

[Jack Armstrong]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

L Y We played this clip a couple of days in a row. It's so good, why not play it a third day in a row? Who is this woman for mum? Donnie. It doesn't really matter. She's, you know, close to him.

[Joe Getty]

She is Sia Weaver, his New York City tenant rights or tenant protection director, New York City has the most renters of any city in America. Not surprisingly, it's a lot of people. She has power.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the fact that anyone is in a high level of government anywhere, let alone in New York City, it's just amazing. Who would say this?

[Zoran Mumdani]

I think the reality is that for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good. And we are going to transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well as are gonna have a different relationship to property than. Than the one that we currently have.

[Jack Armstrong]

A different relationship to property. That's a lot of words to say people shouldn't be able to own homes. I guess the government will own all

[Joe Getty]

this land and decide who gets to live where. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Never mind that. That property rights has been a cornerstone of Liberty for 500 years in the Western world. I'm sorry, more like a thousand years.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, she adds in the extra dose of. I mean, because. Cause going way back, your socialists didn't think you should be able to own land or own property. But it's specifically a white supremacy thing, which is just fantastic.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you could hear her perk up when she threw white people especially because she knows how well that plays with her bizarre neo Marxist crowd, especially white families.

[Zoran Mumdani]

But some POC families who are homeowners as well are gonna have a different relationship to property.

[Jack Armstrong]

Does that include you? She is a white woman who it turns out, has a $1.6 million home in Tennessee. 1.6 million dollar home in Tennessee. That's a pretty nice home. So as always happens with your socialist crowd, they mean other people, I guess, or something. I don't know what that is. It's. It's very, very weird. But it's as old as socialism, whether it's right.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, The Bolsheviks, sure. The intellectual elites forcing it on the masses.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or going back to Karl Martin. So many socialists are just loser, lazy scumbags who. Their lives are fine. And they. Though they. They live very comfortable lives off of other people usually. But they want socialism for everybody. I'd never quite understood the philosophy, how they fit it in with their own personalities. And it's been on my mind a lot because I'm into James Joyce right now. I'm reading Ulysses, as I've mentioned 8,000 times. I'm 75 of the way through as of last night, by the way. So I'M very excited. I got through the two hardest chapters. But at the same time that I'm reading Ulysses, I'm listening to this highly acclaimed biography of James Joyce was written many, many years ago. And he was a socialist. And it's just amazing. In his personal life, he was a deadbeat. He would borrow money from friends and family and not pay him back until eventually they'd cut him off. He ate out all the time. And people would say to him, dude, you're broke, you can't afford your rent. You come across a little money and you go out to eat at a nice restaurant. Well, I deserve to enjoy the fruits of blah, blah, blah. I mean, just socialists are. What are they? Just they're babies or they're selfish or I don't know what it is. But not only does their philosophy. I guess my point is this. Not only does their philosophy not work in that you run out of other people's money, they don't even live like decent people at all. Like they're the worst of, of, of humanity when it comes to, you know, dealing with the relationship with money and stuff.

[Joe Getty]

And the thing that galls me the most, maybe aside from the denial of liberty among these people, is they appointed themselves as so wise and benevolent and good that they will decide who gets what, who lives where. I will be in charge of that. Imagine the egotism of thinking you should decide that. I mean, it's astonishing. It ought to be greeted with an immediate, go to hell. Please.

[Jack Armstrong]

Karl Marx was exactly like James Joyce just 50 years earlier, without constantly borrowing money from people and wanting to have nice clothes and eat out. But he didn't, couldn't support himself. So he was always in debt and, and bringing down other people around him. And this is just anecdotal, but, but in my life, the people that were the most conservative that I've known, as far away from socialism as you can get, tend to drive older cars, vacation reasonably live in medium sized homes, that sort of thing. It's the socialist crowd that wants to go out to nice restaurants and travel to fancy places and blah blah, blah. Your own philosophy doesn't make sense mathematically, and then your lifestyle, what the hell?

[Joe Getty]

So dedicated capitalist Joe Getty, for instance, married his wife in our local church and then we drove to the Poconos for our honeymoon. Zoran Mumdani, dedicated communist, had a three day wedding festival on another continent

[Jack Armstrong]

with

[Joe Getty]

his Ivy League professor, filmmaker, father and mother. The rest of it, it's got money to burn. He came from enormous, wealthy. How do people Fall for this ass.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the woman who says home ownership shouldn't exist has a $1.6 million home right?

[Joe Getty]

Right now. How's this for a howler? Unless you add more on that particular topic. Do you remember we featured Washington State Representative Sean Scott a few months ago? He was the guy who was taxing the big tech corporations like Amazon right out of Seattle because they're snapping up all the rental housing and causing the housing market to be too tight and blah blah, blah. And several of us thought, yeah, that'd be great. I tell you what, yank the tech out of Seattle, see how you're doing, then chum, you know, go ahead, you finance all of your socialist dreams anyway. So that's the same guy who was interviewed the other day by Brandy Cruz. This is Washington Representative Scott being asked the obvious question. Socialism never ever works. Let's start with 90.

[Brandy Cruz]

Michael, I want you to give me one example of socialism you think working well somewhere.

[Hospice Representative]

A good example of socialism working well somewhere. This is a really, really cool question. I think of Cuba in particular. Very, very high literacy rate, number one. Number two, extremely strong commitment to public health.

[CBS News Reporter]

Health.

[Hospice Representative]

So that's one example that I can think of that would resonate with pretty much anybody in our state who cares about education or health care. Would you disagree with that?

[Zoran Mumdani]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Jack, would you like to knock that softball 450ft over the fence?

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow, that is absolutely crazy. How old is this guy?

[Joe Getty]

He looks to be late 20s, early 30s. That sort of the, the prime age for radical leftist who's gotten a little powerful.

[Zoran Mumdani]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

How did he not dig more into Cuba and what the reality of his reality is of living in Cuba?

[Joe Getty]

Well, he's living a fantasy.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, he reminds me of Christopher Hitchens who's absolutely loved. Didn't agree with all his policies, certainly, but he was a big time socialist when he was young and he went to Cuba and lived there and was going to work on a coffee farm or something like that.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

To show blah, blah blah. And he was there for a while and realized, okay, I'm not allowed to go where I want, I'm not allowed to say what I want to say, etc. Etc.

[Joe Getty]

Etc.

[Jack Armstrong]

And got out of there fast.

[Joe Getty]

And, and the standard of living is miserable. Yeah, but because they've got some government furnished health care and, and allegedly education. That's not true by the way the literacy figures they always throw around. It's an absolute lie. Yeah. And they're all driving cars from 1966 because nobody can afford anything else. And they have no industry. And it's unbelievable.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's all you need to know about these countries, really. People risk their lives, them and their children to get on rafts and go through the ocean to get out of there.

[Joe Getty]

That really is all you need to know. But wait, there's more. He goes on.

[Brandy Cruz]

People flee on makeshift rafts and die in the ocean to flee Cuba for the United States.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what I just said.

[Hospice Representative]

Yeah. And I think that that is something that absolutely we have to be sensitive to. But you asked me about institutions that are working really, really well.

[Brandy Cruz]

I asked you about places socialism is working and you chose a country that people will risk their lives to flee from to this, to this country. There's a reason for that, Sean.

[Hospice Representative]

There was a revolution in Cuba. That is correct.

[Brandy Cruz]

They still do it to this day. Show up on the beaches of Miami.

[Hospice Representative]

Right.

[Brandy Cruz]

Because they would rather be here and would risk their lives in shark infested water to flee the country that you just gave me an example of.

[Joe Getty]

Washington Representative Sean Scott, you're an effing idiot. And anybody who elected this guy, you're an effing idiot for electing an effing idiot. Are you kidding me? How stupid can our politics become? What's next? Electing dogs? I think that's the next step. Let's give him one more chance. One, sure. Surely, Jack, surely this guy has one coherent idea and, or defense of socialism.

[Hospice Representative]

And if this, if the situation were reversed, the injuries and the ailments that they sustain as a result of migrating to a place where they believe that they're going to be better off. I believe that they can be treated in a much better way than American healthcare facilities are currently able to treat people. So that's one example that I can think of of socialism working very well in public health and in education.

[Brandy Cruz]

All right, can you imagine.

[Joe Getty]

Can we get that whole thing? Hanson, Let us get that whole thing. And hooray for Brandy Cruz.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you imagine how miserable you'd have to be to try to craft a raft and go out and raft and go out in the ocean with a decent children dying or being killed by your own. If they catch you trying to leave, can you imagine how desperate you'd have to be?

[Joe Getty]

Right. And then if you did not track with that last clip, his, his, his argument was that, well, having fled Cuba in desperation and come to the United States, if they like got injured on the journey, they'd have gotten better health care in Cuba. That was his argument. Did I mention Representative Sean Scott of Washington State? You're an effing idiot. It you, you should never. If somebody asks you what we should have for dinner, don't offer an opinion. You're too stupid to have one. Good Lord. If your wife, I don't know if he has a wife asks you, do we turn left or right here. Just remain mute. You're too effing stupid to offer an opinion on that. Good Lord. This guy's in government in Washington. Check yourself.

[Jack Armstrong]

I guess the one thing I've learned in the last couple of months

[Joe Getty]

from

[Jack Armstrong]

mayor of New York or the mayor there in Washington or whatever this guy is, you have to constantly fight the socialism thing and make the arguments. I thought they were tired and like it was boring to people, but apparently you have to keep doing it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. As you know, one of my jihads now, perhaps my number one jihad that, you know, come to in the last 10, 15 years is that you have to keep making the arguments for liberty. We got very, very lazy, kind of, well, just lazy and cocky as Americans that everybody understands how great liberty is. Our kids will just absorb it around them. Nobody will teach them otherwise. So we don't have to make a concerted effort to teach them. Well, the Marxists have moved into our schools. They are teaching them otherwise. And we're losing the battle.

Goodbye. Think about it. When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made, and know exactly what you're getting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty the Armstrong and Getty Show.

[Joe Getty]

There's a little more information coming out about the discombobulator, which sounds like something out of a Bullwinkle cartoon, but that is the mystery weapon that was crucial to the Venezuelan raid or the American raid on Venezuela to snatch up Maduro.

[Jack Armstrong]

The thing that you've referred to as the brain scramble scrambler.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Well, Trump, I guess, did he use the word? Yeah, yeah. Trump is actually calling it the discombobulator. So Trump, you remember mentioned that the, this mysterious weapon, quote, made the equipment not work, the discombobulator. I'm not allowed to talk about it during that interview in the Oval Office. I'd love to. Before he confirmed its use, quote, they never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets. They never got one off. We came, they pressed buttons. Nothing worked. They were all set for us. Now, interestingly, Trump commented on the weapon when asked about reports this month that the Biden administration had purchased a pulsed energy device that may have caused the Havana Syndrome to study it. And that revelation followed the on the ground accounts from Venezuela describing how Maduro's gunmen were brought to their knees. Bleeding through the nose in vomiting blood.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. How do you like that?

[Podcast Host]

That

[Joe Getty]

simultaneously bleeding through your nose and vomiting blood. I'll bet you don't like it much. Simultaneously. And this is another quote from one of Maduro's security team. Suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react, saying, then the helicopters appeared about 8. At one point they launched something I don't know how to describe. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we got two different things going on. We got the weapon, I think or maybe we don't. But I assume the brain is different than disabling a piece of equipment.

[Joe Getty]

But anyway, we got massive electronic pulses.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. So we got something that kept the. The equipment from firing off the way it's supposed to. And then something scrambled people's brains. This all makes sense because I, from the day this story broke, thought, how the hell. How could you possibly get in there and snatch them in their bedroom without more of a fighter before they got out of there, Whatever. Well, now. Now it makes sense.

[Brandy Cruz]

Sense.

[Joe Getty]

Well, right. And here are. Here's one of the roughly three things I retained from my neuropsychology class in. In college. Jack, what does the brain run on? Diesel fuel?

[CBS News Reporter]

Coal?

[Joe Getty]

Is that what you think? No, it's electricity. The brain is an electric organ. Has to do with the sodium atoms, molecules.

[Jack Armstrong]

I like the sound of the electric organization organ.

[Joe Getty]

Well, otherwise you got to have like a pump organ.

[Tony Ayo]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Which actually has a cool old timey sound. But anyway, so it's possible. Yeah, Massive electronic pulses that would, you know, mess up equipment, would mess up your brain.

[Jack Armstrong]

So is Trump not supposed to say this stuff or was it a good thing to say to scare off China and Russia and let them know we got this thing? Did Russia and China both react to grabbing Maduro with.

[Joe Getty]

How in the hell did they get

[Jack Armstrong]

in there without us firing our equipment, Firing a single shot? I mean, were they like, holy crap.

[Joe Getty]

Or were they like. They must have used the C32. So it works as well as we thought it would. Okay. You know, it's. Trump has occasionally. Because he's braggadocious. Everybody knows him about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've noticed that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I remember when. What was it with Israel? I think during the first term, that he gave away some intelligence that shot the Israelis and caused all sorts of problems. So he does tend to have loose lips on that stuff. At the same time, you got Maduro's guys running around saying exactly what happened in the effects, that, you know what the effects of this weapon were. So I think Trump's saying, yeah, we got a discombobulator probably just. There it is. Oh, there it is. Oh, my nose. I'm bleeding from there. Oh, I'm falling on my knees. Oh, so it makes you stupid. I get it, Michael. Yeah. I have a feeling that the Trump confirming that. Oh, my God, all of their defenses were inoperable and they're all puking blood at once. The Chinese are like, oh, yeah, they used the C32. What is modern warfare going to look like? I don't know, I mean, it's certainly not tanks. Increasingly it's not humans. The drones, it makes it too hard for troops to move, move. So you got the drones, but then you got electromagnetic pulses knocking all the drones out of the air. So chucking rocks at each other. Well, no, the drones zap you before you could chuck a good sized rock. Robot armies, well insulated, clashing, blah blah, Chinese wolves, something.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we or China or Russia, whoever send, you know, those little tiny nano drones at a population and they're going in the lungs and killing everybody and, and then that country just has to raise the white flag, okay, Use some weapon we had never even thought of and clearly we have no defense for. So we give up.

[Joe Getty]

So I find myself thinking, you know, back to your fascinating and troubling question about warfare. We're either going to be in a situation where it's a constant effort to get that little edge and then obliterate the enemy like the moment we get it, or is it possible. I'm probably a SAP to even say this, but is it possible to just be so technically adapt technologically adept rather that. There's no point in having a war. You can't get any of your weapon systems up and going.

[Jack Armstrong]

It becomes a mutual destruction sort of thing like with nuclear weapons the last 80 years.

[Joe Getty]

Or is it a back to the future thing where you got to go with diesel powered, you know, whatever, anti aircraft guns systems. Because EMPs aren't going to knock those out unless it screws up the spark plugs. Diesel doesn't have spark plugs, do they?

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody knows.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not a mechanic, I'm a wordsmith. Nobody ask me about gerunds. Not spark plugs. They are selling YETI Superstore. We got your hats, hoodies and more, more, more, more. But it's out T shirts that tell it straight. Enforce the law, don't bust the trust. Hot dogs are dumb, stupid sh. Things are getting weird and they're getting weird fast.
