Episode Overview

This episode, titled "A Cold Peace," features a wide-ranging, insightful discussion between Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. The main theme revolves around risk aversion and anxiety among Generation Z, rooted in parenting, technology, and societal shifts, alongside commentary on U.S.–Iran relations in the Trump era, and a look at misinformation, AI, and the challenge of trusted voices. They also touch on popular culture, health, World Cup soccer, and daily fitness routines, all delivered in Armstrong & Getty’s trademark tone—blunt, observational, and comedic.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Generation Z’s Retreat From Risk and Traditional Adulthood

• Central theme: Young people are more risk-averse across all domains—drinking, dating, marriage, sex, even driving—than previous generations.
• Drawing on Arthur Brooks’ article and Jean Twenge’s research, the hosts reflect on unprecedented levels of anxiety, delayed milestones, and eroding trust in others among Gen Z.
  • "What looks like prudence may signal a dangerous cultural shift." (Joe Getty, 04:13)
  • "They're incredibly risk averse... dating less, having less sex, driving less." (Jack Armstrong, 05:37)
• Analysis:
  • The hosts reject the caricature of 'bad kids,' instead pointing to the combined effects of overprotective parenting, the explosion of smartphones, and the death of free play.
    • "Isn't this our first set of data of kids growing up in the smartphone Internet world? And this is the result we've gotten." (Joe Getty, 06:04)
• Physical impacts:
  • Modern kids are less active, with dire consequences for physical development.
    • "Only about one in four U.S. children, adolescents, meets that less than arduous goal. 60 minutes of activity a day, that's a low bar." (Jack Armstrong, 11:28)

Notable Quotes

• “They're raising a nation of veal calves. A phrase I came up with 20 years ago.” (Jack Armstrong, 10:23)
• “Play is not fun, frivolous, protective parents. It enhances brain structure and function, promotes executive function, builds the social, emotional skills and resilience that help children manage stress and adversity.” (Jack Armstrong quoting Charlotte Grinberg, 12:15)
• "You can avoid heartbreak by never getting in a relationship." (Joe Getty, 14:46)
• "It's horribly sad to think of—don't raise veal calves. Let them try. Let them fail. Let them have adventures." (Jack Armstrong, 14:50)

---

2. World Cup Soccer Highlights and Cultural Observations

• The hosts give a lighthearted update on the ongoing World Cup, featuring Lionel Messi breaking records and fan traditions like the Norwegian Viking Row.
  • "Messi... greatest soccer player of all time. Some people think—he scored all five of the team's goals so far at age 38." (Joe Getty, 21:11)
• Observations about fans’ awe at American culture—big trucks, Dunkin Donuts, and the size of everything (including Americans).
  • Humorous takes on 'row culture' and group bonding at soccer matches.

---

3. Fitness, Walking, and Common Misconceptions

• Joe debates calorie burning with his son and seeks clarity from ChatGPT.
  • "Distance is the main driver here, says ChatGPT. So walking further, slower burns more calories than your shorter, faster walk." (Joe Getty, 23:10)
  • "Your heart and lungs are working a lot harder, so you're getting all that benefit, which is super good for you." (Jack Armstrong, 24:44)
• Comic reflections on how people judge others' walking speeds and routines.
  • "I must admit, I judge people who stroll slowly as… what are you even doing out here?" (Joe Getty, 25:05)

---

4. U.S.–Iran Cold Peace: War, Diplomacy, and the Trump Doctrine

• The hosts dissect the controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran under Trump, analyzing the passionate criticism from across the political spectrum.
  • “It would appear that Trump claims they're only allowed to spend on soybeans for our Midwest farmers. But it's ridiculous and it is ridiculous.” (Jack Armstrong, 30:13)
  • "Name a foreign policy expert who is not either on the White House payroll or auditioning to be who thinks this is brilliant and flawless... None of them are idiotic." (Jack Armstrong quoting Jonah Goldberg, 30:39)
• Colonel Ramsey's analysis:
  • War and peace in the Middle East are often fluid, not binary—as in Western tradition—constituting ‘cold peace’ marked by ongoing negotiations, intermittent hostilities, and no clear resolution.
    • "War in the Eastern and Middle Eastern traditions is a bit less categorical. Wars can be seen as an extended series of campaigns with episodes of hot war and interludes of negotiation or cold peace." (Jack Armstrong quoting analysis, 34:00)
  • The panel discusses the limits of punitive sanctions without positive incentives and the recurrent, non-final nature of Middle Eastern conflicts.
• Nuclear threat:
  • Deep concern about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
    • "I sure hope Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. That would be the most dangerous thing that has happened since nuclear weapons came on the scene in 1945." (Joe Getty, 37:00)

---

5. AI, Misinformation, and the Battle for Trusted Voices

• Joe prepares to speak at a panel on 'Influencers vs. Trusted Voices,' highlighting how AI-generated misinformation (e.g., fake videos about California produce) is becoming increasingly hard to combat.
  • “There’s a ton of... just false AI generated things out there that are floating around all of social media, badmouthing all kinds of California agricultural products… all these industries are… trying to figure out how to combat this.” (Joe Getty, 48:23)
• The dilemma: Even real ‘influencers’ spread misinformation—and deepfakes are going to further confuse the public.
  • “What about AI recreations of the influencers saying things they never said.” (Jack Armstrong, 50:02)

---

6. Social Trends: The “Great Unbundling” and American Disconnection

• Citing a recent essay, the hosts mention “the great unbundling of humanity”—where modern life’s increased choices and lack of community structure lead to widespread dissatisfaction and anxiety.
  • "Community connection has given way to faceless mobs. And every aspect of your life is a choice... and human beings have never had [this] before, when we made us insane." (Jack Armstrong paraphrasing, 41:21)
• Promise to explore this idea further in upcoming episodes.

---

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• On modern childhood:
  • "Stop protecting your children. It's backfiring." (Jack Armstrong citing Charlotte Grinberg, 10:07)
• On U.S.–Iran diplomacy:
  • “Trumpian statecraft defies simple critiques, predictions, or conclusions.” (Jack Armstrong quoting, 32:20)
• On the rise of AI-driven misinformation:
  • “If the influencers are the trusted voices out there, I don’t know what you do about that.” (Joe Getty, 49:37)

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio

[Joe Getty]

Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty I'm Armstrong

and Getty and now here's Armstrong and Getty. An Ohio based food company has issued a recall for a refrigerated Mac and cheese because it contains an undeclared allergen. Even worse, it's cats. I'm gonna say something that still went twice as well as I thought. Didn't go great, but you could still double what I wanted.

[Jack Armstrong]

I never used to be allergic to

[Joe Getty]

cats and I am now. I wonder what happened. Anyway, it's very annoying for me to be around a cat.

[Jack Armstrong]

Cats have gotten cattier, maybe.

[Joe Getty]

So this guy, Arthur Brooks, has been getting a lot of attention lately. Writer, thinker, researcher. This piece Generation Z's Great Retreat from Risk Teen drinking has plummeted. So have dating, marriage, childbearing, and other leaps into adulthood. What looks like prudence may signal a dangerous cultural shift. And I thought, okay, that's really interesting. So I wanted to look into the central argument of this because of course, at first blush, the idea of teens drinking less, having, you know, premarital sex less, and a variety of other things seems like a good direction. But what's the reason for it? It's not like wisdom and prudence, according to Arthur Brooks. In his study, he's arguing that

[America 250 Announcer]

the

[Joe Getty]

rising anxiety among young people are making them so cautious they're scared to interact with other human beings for the first time. This is the first time a generation has said most people can't be trusted. According to his studies, one statistic he highlights is that only a small minority of Gen Z says most people can be trusted, and a large majority believes you can't be too careful when dealing with others. And that's a new thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I know. Brooks cites Jean Twenge, the British psychologist who did a big study too. That generation, they have rejected risk Taking of like every single variety from physical to romantic to investing to just like anything. They're incredibly risk averse, they're drinking less,

[Joe Getty]

dating less, having less sex, driving less, marrying later or not at all, having fewer children and generally delaying traditional adult milestones out of. He says fear and anxiety around this stuff. Isn't this rather than what you often hear and I don't mind making jokes myself, but is like some sort of criticism of that generation, obviously. Well, first of all, they didn't raise themselves as we often point out. And isn't this our first set of data of kids growing up in the smartphone Internet world? And this is the result we've gotten.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's part of it in the every moment is planned. No free play, no running around the neighborhood. Sports, a young kid sports are no longer on the sand lot with their friends making up the rules, enforcing. I agree with that. It's, it's, it's all of a set. I agree it's about the parents, not the kids.

[Joe Getty]

But that's been around for a long time now. It's been going on since the 90s that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

We don't. You don't know what you'd be like. I don't know what I'd be like if I had been presented with the pace of information that like my kids get. I had nothing within a million miles of that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

My whole life. What is that? Just the speed of your brain and taking in information. What does that do to you?

[Jack Armstrong]

As I've said many times, human beings are not designed to take input every single waking moment from the entire world. It will make you insane. But to the previous point, which I think is a big part of this, we got an email actually a couple on this theme when we were talking about it. But the kids who grew up in the. Every practice, every game, every minute of the day is planned and supervised by adults world. They now have kids and they're really into it and those kids have no knowledge of any previous, you know, way of raising kids. And so it's, it's compounding combined with the stuff you're talking about.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I just, I'm a, I'm just, I'm big on the fact that the never ending dopamine hit, whether it's a good thing or whether it's a good thing giving you a dopamine hit or a bad thing giving you a dopamine hit like it's out of fear or pleasure. Just the never ending hits on our brain has made our kids so anxious and weird. And this is not. And I don't see this going away. And those of us who remember the olden times will be dead soon, and there'll be nobody on earth to remember that people used, didn't used to be this way.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know I will be. So at the risk of us arguing over whether it's 60, 40 my way or your way, because I think we both agree that it's both. Study after study after study has shown we're denying kids the, the university education in risk management that is childhood or should be childhood. I mean, it's like a direct A to B relationship. So Both are true 100%.

[Joe Getty]

Well, at this point, with YouTube and smartphones, you could leave your doors open, give your kid a hundred dollar bill and say, go do whatever you want to do today. And they would still sit there on the couch looking at their phone all day long. Do whatever you want. And I'm telling you, anything, anything you want, you won't be in trouble. I'd rather just sit here and kind of scroll.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. The, the Free Press had an essay by. What's this gal's name? Whoops, I've done the wrong thing with it.

[Joe Getty]

So our parents.

[Jack Armstrong]

I so often have throughout my life.

[Joe Getty]

Are parents going to be pushing kids now to say, why don't you go get drunk this weekend? I mean, if you considered that I don't want to go get drunk, meet a floozy, have some sex, get drunk.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know about birth control, right? Try it, right? What do you need? You need some. Yeah. Charlotte Grinberg, who's a doctor, wrote a piece that's probably followed to this very study. Stop protecting your children. It's backfiring. And I thought this was so interesting because she makes a lot of the arguments, you know, I've made, we've made through the years how everybody is hyped, hyper, like cautious about germs and allergies and, and danger and, and abductions and stuff like that, to the point that they're raising a nation of veal calves. A phrase I came up with, I think 20 years ago, but I, I did not know some of this. She mentions that drive through any neighborhood, kids are not playing outside in the afternoon and evening.

[Joe Getty]

No, I mentioned that. And this is, this goes back a quarter of a century. I moved to this neighborhood that had this giant, beautiful park next to it. And I never. And I lived there for eight years. I never saw kids playing catch in that park one time in eight years or shooting baskets or anything. Not once in eight years. Now On Saturdays, it would be full of organized soccer games and stuff like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

But they were waiting for adults to tell them what to do and then organize it.

[Joe Getty]

I never saw two kids playing catch, which is just mind blowing.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it's on Baby Boomers and Gen X, I guess. Anyway, so she writes, children are not playing outside enough. Kids are not climbing trees. They are not testing the limits of their bodies. Federal guidelines say they should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. One that builds muscle and strengthens bone. Yet only about one in four U.S. children, adolescents, meets that less than arduous goal. 60 minutes of activity a day, that's a low bar. What children lose when they do not move enough is not only calorie burner athletic skill, it is bone density, muscle mass, balance, coordination, even vision. Childhood is when much of the body's architecture is laid down. And when that doesn't happen, fracture risk increases significantly. By age 18, children have already accrued about 90% of their peak bone mass.

[Joe Getty]

I didn't know that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Beyond structured exercise, children need unstructured play. The kind that is child initiated, involves risk taking and happens without adult direction. Play is not fun, frivolous, protective parents. It enhances brain structure and function, promotes executive function, builds the social, emotional skills and resilience that help children manage stress and adversity. And she mentions when kids do go outside. Too many parents experience outdoor time primarily as a UV management problem. Reapply cover up, don't burn. Oh my God. Let the kids play.

[Joe Getty]

Catch me outside. How about that?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Good for you, sweetheart. Good for you.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I feel like that ship has sailed. Good luck. If you believe that, find to get out of the ship, much less let it sail. Good luck finding another kid to play with your kid. Even if you believe in Gavin, your kid go out there and play. Whose parent is okay with them? Just like hanging out at the park playing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I got this summary of this whole attitude for you right after this.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

Excellent.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. A word from our friends at Simplisafe. They remind us that in our beautiful country, there's a break in every 26 seconds. Somewhere right now, an intruder is getting closer. And the problem with most security systems is they alert you after the break in is already started. Hey, thanks for that. That's why we both choose Simplisafe for our homes. Using the outdoor camera Series 2 and advanced AI alert, SimpliSafe's US based live agents identify threats on your property and help deter them. Stopping the crime before it starts.

[Joe Getty]

actually set the thing up yourself in about 30 minutes? Yeah, you certainly can. And if you need help, they have it for you. You go online, you customize it for your house. There are no long term contracts because SimpliSafe believes you're going to use the product because you like it, not because you're locked into a contract.

[Joe Getty]

So here's the summary of this situation for Gen Z. And the problem isn't that Gen Z drinks less or dates less. It's that many young people seem increasingly unwilling to risk failure, rejection, embarrassment or heartbreak in pursuit of a fully lived life.

[Jack Armstrong]

Avoiding those things is impossible. If you have any adventure in your life, it's possible.

[Joe Getty]

If you don't do anything, it's very possible.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

You can avoid heartbreak by never getting in a relationship.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. It's horribly sad to think of don't raise veal calves. Let them try. Let them fail. Let them have adventures. Let them grow up. Let them get them in trouble.

[Joe Getty]

Sure, if I live long enough to

[Jack Armstrong]

watch all this unfold, I must apologize deeply and humbly. I had the wrong piece of paper in my hand. And Simply Safe's offers indeed. 60 off in a free outdoor camera. 60% off in a free outdoor camera. Simplysafe.com Armstrong that was close. Idiots and idiots.

[Joe Getty]

I made a mistake.

It'll be fine.

Some of the cool, exciting things going on with the World cup. We got for you. Also something I learned about exercise and that is quite shocking.

[Joe Getty]

So I don't know how many of you are like me. You're not really soccer fans kind of paying a little bit of attention to World cup soccer. Well, if you want to sound like you are in the know, here's a little rundown I thought was pretty good from CBS News last night in a

World cup filled with drama, perhaps the most dramatic moment yet. Argentina's Lionel Messi breaking the ocean all time record for most ever World cup goals with his 17th, the incomparable one then providing an encore with his 18th. The 38 year old Messi playing in a record sixth World cup and he's now scored all five of his team's goals this tournament. Today's two nothing victory over Austria advances Argentina to the knockout round, which the US has already done. Each victory, including the latest two nothing shut out of Australia has raised expectations.

The United States plays Turkey Thursday who has not won anything yet. They're in dead last in our group.

[Jack Armstrong]

Got a snap. Turkey's neck.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly that messy dude. Greatest soccer player of all time. Some people think he scored all five of the team's goals so far at third, age 38.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's amazing.

[Political Analyst/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Here's a little more about the fun hijinks going on At World Cup.

Some of the biggest stars of this World cup are the fans. This was the Egyptian celebration. Fans hoisting hero Mo Salah after the team's first ever World cup win. But for pure energy and joy, it's hard to top the Norwegian fans performing their now signature Viking row in Times Square and on an actual boat. I caught up with them heading to tonight's match against Senegal and asked what has struck them the most about the US it's just the typical American things. The big trucks, the American school buses, Dunkin donuts. I mean, everything is so large.

[Jack Armstrong]

Including Americans.

[Joe Getty]

Including us.

[Political Analyst/Commentator]

Yes.

[Delonghi Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

See previous mention of donuts.

[Joe Getty]

So they all gather together and sit like Vikings of old and row in unison like they're slaves in a ship. Hilarious. They used to be locked under the ship to the point of dying, forced

[Jack Armstrong]

to know they enjoyed it. It was.

[Joe Getty]

It was fitness.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was a rowing machine, but an actual boat. So, yeah, the players and the coaches all sit down on the field and they beat the drum. Boom, boom.

[America 250 Announcer]

And.

[Jack Armstrong]

And everybody in the stands, all their fans in the stands are all wearing the red and white. They're doing it too, and shouting as they pretend to row. It's actually quite hilarious.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, very cool.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just charming and fun. And it's people doing things together, not on the Internet.

[Joe Getty]

How much time I got, Michael?

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe three, four months. What you eat? We got about two and a half.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, perfect. So, speaking of fitness, so Henry went with me on my nightly walk last night, which I appreciated because we get to talk and everything like that, but he kept complaining about how fast I was walking. And I always walk fast. It's just in my nature. But I said, well, I burned more calories that way. And he said, I don't think you burn more calories walking faster. And I said, of course you do. So I asked Chat GPT, I said this, I said, during my nightly walk, I walk really fast with the understanding that it will burn more calories. But if I walked farther, slower, would that burn more calories or less calories or would it be a wash? Distance is the main driver here, says Chat GPT. So walking further, slower burns more calories than your shorter, faster walk. The extra ground you cover more than makes up for the slower speed. So the rule of thumb is walking burns roughly the same calories per mile, regardless of pace, because you're moving a certain amount of weight a certain distance either way. And it, you know, either it takes you longer or you're burning less, but it takes you longer because you're Walking slower, but you end up in the same spot. That's because the cost is about moving your body. I'm moving 188 pounds, two miles. Whether I do it at this speed or this speed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

That's my whole life. I've always assumed. And I thought, how could that be true? I mean, I'm breathing hard, I'm sweating, as opposed to like last week, I was watching the NBA finals on my phone while I walked, and I was walking much slower, and I thought, it is a waste of time. I probably didn't burn any calories walking that slow. But as I've learned, that's not true.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's. It's funny, but you kind of answered your own question in a way because your heart and lungs are working a lot harder, so you're getting all that benefit, which is super good for you. But if you're thinking in terms of calories, that's super interesting.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Although I'd argue. All right, so I'm gonna burn those calories more quickly and I can get onto other things. Meanwhile, my heart and lungs have had some good done for him, so.

[Joe Getty]

But I. I must admit, I judge people who stroll slowly as. What are you even doing out here?

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Well, that says more about you than them.

[Joe Getty]

I say it to him as I walk past them really, really fast. What are you even doing out here? Go back in your house.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's.

[Joe Getty]

Eat some butter.

[Jack Armstrong]

Speaking of AI and questioning it, the answers it gives, more and more people in institutions and journalists are realizing, you know, garbage in, garbage out, and somebody ought to figure out what's going on here. Some really interesting stuff on that. Plus a defense of the current JD Vance led negotiations, believe it or not.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't believe it. That on the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

You haven't heard it yet, you brute. Armstrong and Getty.

[Political Analyst/Commentator]

oil yesterday than we've ever than has ever gone through the strait. You probably see that we have an, we have an oil gusher. The strait is totally open. You know that. And we're negotiating. We'll see how that all goes. But we have two things. We have an open strait and we have a country that will never have a nuclear weapon. We'll never ever have a nuclear weapon.

[Joe Getty]

That's a pretty positive spin. And you only hear pretty much positive spin out of Trump and the people closest to him because ain't nobody else with a positive spin out there. This is the first topic in the entire Trump era that has united everyone. Obviously all the mainstream and left leaning media hates the deal that Trump's making with Iran. But the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and Fox are killing him over this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, to that point. Oh, go ahead. Was there more?

[Joe Getty]

Including analysis like this, analysts project that Iran can In the next 60 days say 10, sell $10 billion worth of oil in the way that the restrictions have been loosened and the strait has been opened back up. Iran's also getting additional $12 billion out of the gate without doing anything ahead of time. It would appear that Trump claims they're only allowed to spend on soybeans in for our Midwest farmers.

[Jack Armstrong]

But it's ridiculous and it is ridiculous. Yeah, the JD has been arguing that people are criticizing the deal are either idiotic or dishonest or something like that. Jonah Goldberg points out they might not necessarily be right, but they are not idiotic. Name a foreign policy expert who is not either on the White House payroll or auditioning to be who thinks this is brilliant and flawless. I'm sure there's someone, but are Walter Russell Mead, Neil Ferguson, Roy Takei, Brett Stevens, Benny Morris, Trey Gowdy, Jack Keane, Elliott Abrams, nearly everyone at the National Review, Commentary, the Dispatch, American Enterprise Institute, the Hudson Institute, foundation for Defense of Democracy. Idiots. Not every has the same criticism. Some are wait and seers, but as far as I can tell, none of them are idiotic. We got this email from alert listener Ramsey who has actually been friends for many years with Richard Outs and who I promoted to general earlier when I mentioned this article. He's actually he was a colonel in the United States military and you don't

[Joe Getty]

as a talk show host have the ability to promote people to general.

[Jack Armstrong]

Turns out I don't.

[Podcast Narrator (My Favorite Murder segment)]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yep. Newspegseth called me and said hey, you gotta stop. So anyway, he was a colonel and this is super interesting. It's long so I'm gonna have to skip around a little bit. But even if he's not right on the bottom line, I thought this was intriguing. He's talking about the MOU, which looks like a weaker version of the JCPOA. I characterized it as the JCPOs that formally ends the combat operations. Middle east residents are relieved and happy. President Trump has presented the MoU as a prudent interim measure. His critics on the left and right assail him for launching an unnecessary war, then concluding it on bad terms. Prominent neocons branded the MOU a surrender and defeat before the ink even dried.

[Joe Getty]

See, I don't think it was an unnecessary war and I don't blame him for launching it. But, you know, if this is what we're going to get out of it, it doesn't turn out to be worth it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. And then he goes into some of the critiques about the war in Netanyahu and the JCPOA and the mou, blah, blah, blah. He says, as usual with this president, the truth is not so simple. Trumpian statecraft defies simple critiques, predictions, or conclusions. The MOU is not a surrender because he was not fighting war for the overthrow of the Iranian regime, rhetoric notwithstanding. He aimed to inflict economic pain without inducing economic collapse. He had in mind a limited war with clear aims and off ramps rather than an open ended war for the overthrow of the regime. And this is the part that I,

[Joe Getty]

rhetoric notwithstanding is a heck of a phrase, though.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Wall Street Journal went to the probably unnecessary trouble of parsing everything he said about regime change. What we were going to do.

[Joe Getty]

Hey, Iranian, your time is at hand. We've come to the rescue.

[Jack Armstrong]

Rise up now. We've got your back. We're going to devastate them, right? Exactly. They like half a different. Half a dozen different topics. And his rhetoric has been insanely all over the map on all of them.

[Joe Getty]

And Trump being Trump, to say unconditional surrender and then end up here is really amazing.

[Jack Armstrong]

You would have to argue that that has no negative consequences to accept that. And I don't. I realize everybody now kind of bakes in, oh, it's Trump. So to everything he says. But I don't think that's a good thing.

[Joe Getty]

Not bottom line. Right. Cause we could end up at war with a real country like China, and what we say has to actually matter as a deterrent.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. So as a guy who's been into this sort of thing since I was a teenager, I really like this part. War in the Eastern and Middle Eastern tradition. Oh, I'm sorry. War in Western cultures is often seen as a binary equation. We are at war or we are at peace. War is so terrible that it can only be fought for. The gravest of causes, therefore should neither be started nor ended without grave consideration and soul searching. Once a war of moral certainty is started, it constitutes strategic malpractice to end it before reaching the final goals. Weaknesses and strengths lie in the totalitarian. I'm sorry, in the totality of aim and commitment. War in the Eastern and Middle Eastern traditions is a bit less categorical. Wars can be seen as an extended series of campaigns with episodes of hot war and interludes of negotiation or cold peace. These traditions reflect an intertwining of fighting, negotiation, punishment, incentives and compromise, often without overt capitulation or the overthrow of the antagonistic side. Perhaps a bit cynically, the expectation is that conflict is a recurring, if not normal state of affairs, not a binary moral equation or critical path leading to climactic resolution. And he thinks that may be part of the divergence between Trump and Netanyahu, where Netanyahu sought the overthrow of the Iranian regime, perhaps the state itself. And Trump is taking more of an Eastern war, saying, all right, we beat the crap out of you, you're in worse shape, let's talk again and have a cold peace. And he makes the point that the various periods of containment, the 90s, 2000s, maximum pressure, did not achieve the stated aims as Iran developed deeper military and economic ties with Russia and China and its proxies and kept trying to develop nuclear weapons. Research into coercive. This is another part, Jack, I think you'll find interesting because you've said this more than once. Research into coercive diplomacy shows that sanctions, punishment and attempts to isolate usually fail without the addition of incentives and the support of broad regional coalitions. I'd say yeah, and so this guy's conclusion, and again, it's a lot. It'd be a great thing to study for a few days in a political science class in a university. Is measuring the memo of understanding against modes of total war or complete containment generates outrage, not insight, because those models do not accurately reflect Trump's methods or end state. That end state, unsurprisingly, is to get a deal, one that meets core U.S. interests. No nuclear weapons, low oil prices, enhanced regional stability and integration without open ended costs. Whether his mixing of fighting bombast and negotiation works in the end remains to be seen. But it is clearly the game and goal and it might work. That's the best, most Intelligent. Wait a minute. Let's wait and see. I see what he's working at Defense. I've come across.

[Joe Getty]

I sure hope Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. That would be the most dangerous thing that has happened since nuclear weapons came on the scene in 1945.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Easily the most dangerous thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

More dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis?

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure. The Soviets and even the Chinese are completely different actors than the Islamofascists of Tehran. So, you know, one answer to people's dissatisfaction would be, look, Israel's gonna keep doing what they do, intelligence wise, so are we gonna keep an eye on them, and if they show any signs of breaking out, we'll pummel the crap out of them. The answer to that, though is that every year they get better at hiding what they do, at getting it further underground, at protecting their scientists and anticipating the Israelis awe inspiring intelligence maneuvers. I don't know. I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

There's always the buying a nuke problem. There was some intelligence last week that they had tried to buy a nuke from North Korea or North Korea had tried to sell them one. I don't remember why that didn't come about. Because you don't have to make your own nuke if you can buy one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Ask Pakistan who sold them.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, and Israel has to be worried about the. Okay. Their goal, Iran's goal, was to get enough rocket capability to overwhelm the Iron Dome and someday be able to fire so many rockets at us that we run out of the ability to stop it. And then they just blow up all of Tel Aviv. It's a tiny country with a couple

[Jack Armstrong]

of towns and kill a couple hundred marines and soldiers. Ours. Yeah, that's, you know, one of the Wall street journals tracking, parsing the shifting statements by Trump and the administration was pointing out that very thing. It was all about the missiles. Marco laid out the case brilliantly and persuasively at the beginning of this thing. And now it's, hey, they got missiles. Other countries, they got to be able to defend themselves, right?

[Joe Getty]

They got missiles.

[Crumble Employee]

Who cares?

[Jack Armstrong]

They got missiles.

[Joe Getty]

Israel has missiles. We don't tell Israel and Saudi Arabia they can't have missiles. Which is just a ridiculous argument.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So this colonel's assessment at this point might be really, really astute, but that doesn't excuse the just bizarre, they think we're stupid or not paying attention messaging from the White House. It's been awful.

[Joe Getty]

So Ian Bremmer thinks this pool thing, Trump is egging it on because he likes it.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Reflecting pool.

[Joe Getty]

The reflecting pool. He likes it. Bumping the Iran war out of the top spot, which it has been on a lot of newscasts. They go to the pool thing and questions from the reporter and Trump's answers rather than the war with Iran, which is nuts.

[Jack Armstrong]

What about the ducks, sir? What about the ducks?

[Joe Getty]

Do you have any proof that vandals tore up the pool? I can't believe this is a story that out shines a war where the other side might get a nuclear weapon.

[Jack Armstrong]

But it's definitely gotten more coverage than the billions of dollars of fraud and waste in the various welfare and unemployment programs around America that the administration's been working on. I mean, hundreds, tens of billions, certainly of dollars getting much less coverage than the freaking reflecting point.

[Joe Getty]

I got to talk about this panel I'm going to speak at this afternoon and it's kind of interesting what they're up to. I have the details tomorrow, next hour.

[Jack Armstrong]

We talked about this yesterday and we're both excited about it. This piece of thinking about one of the reasons everybody's so miserable is that I'm not. For the record, it was, it's described as the great unbundling of humanity. Community connection has gone given way to faceless mobs. And every aspect of your life is a choice from.

[Joe Getty]

I love this because I think this makes sense.

[Jack Armstrong]

Where you live, who you love, what you worship, what you do for living. You know, just everything is now up for grabs in the way that human beings have never had before when we made us insane.

[Joe Getty]

I have much to say about this next hour. I have much to say about this because I think that makes sense. That might explain everything, and I mean everything. Quantum physics, oh boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Animal behavior, you name it. Exactly what is a dog thinking when it's wagging its tail? It's all right here.

[Joe Getty]

Why it always lands jelly side down. Everything will be explained by this next hour. This panel that I'm going to be on this afternoon, pretty interesting topic. I'm not sure they're going to like my take on it. Get to that. Coming up next. Stay here.

[Crumble Employee]

I'm a Crumble employee and we've started to have customers come in every day or multiple times a day for these new dirty sodas that have 148 grams of sugar in them. One time I said to one of the customers like there's 148 grams of sugar. And then I got in trouble because I'm not really supposed to point that out. And then they were like, well you know, Normally I drink 10 cans of Coke a day, so isn't that the same thing? And I said, well yeah. And I said so you're replacing your coke with the dirty sodas. And they're like no, I just drink the 10 cans of Coke and then I also get the dirty soda. Oh, and they also usually get a box of six cookies to go with their drink.

[Joe Getty]

You drink 10 sodas a day and you go to crumble cookie now and then, which you really shouldn't ever do, but if you do, it's gotta be like once a year birthday special or something. I mean those things are crazy. Full of calories and fat.

[Jack Armstrong]

That behavior doesn't explain the obesity epidemic, but it explains it for that person.

[Joe Getty]

It sure does.

[Political Analyst/Commentator]

Man.

[Joe Getty]

We were at one of those restaurants yesterday, kind of your upper end brass and glasses that have everything Cheesecake Factory esque. Really good food, you know, pretty high end stuff. They got everything. But man, the calorie count on all that stuff. Just amazing. Yeah, it's really hard to justify ever eating there.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're finishing what you order.

[Joe Getty]

Sure, yeah. Unless you. You split something. So that 1400 calorie salary salad is down to 700 calories.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, 1400 calorie salad. Oh, that's something.

[Joe Getty]

They had lots of those.

[Political Analyst/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So like the Cheesecake factory pie plant

[Joe Getty]

cake conglomerate, BJ's Brew House. Is that a chain?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, I think it is. Yeah. Yeah. Good, good place.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Solid grub. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Came across this in the Babylon Bee woman only drinks seven and a half glasses of water for the day dies.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's so funn.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

So I'm speaking at this panel thing this afternoon. I don't really understand what the whole event is, but I know the panel I'm on is about the question they're going to specifically ask me about is about influencers versus trusted voices. I thought this is really interesting topic. They were talking particularly about for instance the agricultural industry in California which is huge, huge, huge. California is the breadbasket of the nation and to a certain extent the world with a lot of products.

[Jack Armstrong]

In many ways it's so vast. It's the dairy state, it's the beef state, it's the broccoli state, it's the virtually everything.

[Joe Getty]

It's the prune state as we mentioned a lot. It's the strawberry state and Ammons. Yeah, all kinds of different stuff. Nuts, fruit, milk, practically everything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Land of fruits and nuts.

[Joe Getty]

Anyway, there's a ton of not misleading, I mean just false AI generated things out there that are floating around all of social media, bad mouthing all kinds of California agricultural products. This person was particularly talking about strawberries and now there's so many ads out there where they AI creates, you know, a mom in her kitchen talking about do you know strawberries actually contain. And they mentioned some horrifying things and this is what it did to me and stuff like that. And all these industries are having, are trying to figure out how to combat this. And one of the ways to try to do that is by having trusted voices like Joe and I hopefully where we could come on and say no, that's a bunch of crap. And you would hear that. Right. And, and that everybody I'm sure in the near future is going to be figuring out how do you combat the never ending onslaught of really well done AI videos that are full of crap.

[Jack Armstrong]

So what they're asking in essence is what the hell type of AIs

[CarMax Announcer]

did

[America 250 Announcer]

what the type of AI.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. That's what they're asking. Like so many of us are.

[Joe Getty]

And then you have people that are real. It's not AI created like you know, I will use the example of a Candace and Tucker. But you know, other people, they're actual human beings but they're spreading crap too. So influencers versus trusted voices, that might be the battle of the future. And if the influencers are the trusted voices out there, I don't know what you do about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

And what about AI recreations of the influencers saying things they never said.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kur Bluey. There goes my brain. Sort of AIs.

[Joe Getty]

It did right. More on the way. If you missed a segment, get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand.
