A Handful of Friendlies

Summary

Armstrong & Getty On Demand

Episode: "A Handful of Friendlies"

Date: May 29, 2026
Hosts: Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty

Episode Overview

In this episode, Armstrong and Getty discuss three major topics: the latest California gubernatorial poll shakeups, in-depth analysis on the explosive new class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s), and updates on global geopolitics (including Iran and Russia). They pepper their signature wit and skepticism throughout, questioning political processes, pharmaceutical promises, and the global power game. They close out with cultural observations and Victor Davis Hanson’s views on selective outrage.

Main Discussion Points

1. California Gubernatorial Polls: Dynamics and Skepticism

[02:37 – 03:47, 19:07 – 22:58]

• Big Movement in Polls: UC Berkeley/LA Times poll shows Steve Hilton loses his lead. Javier Becerra surges from 5% to 25%; Tom Steyer doubles to 19%—the Democratic field is consolidating.
• Power Behind the Throne:
  • Armstrong and Getty suspect establishment orchestration, unions and party machines steering the primary to prevent Republican advancement.
  • Quote: "It's a one party state. That's how it works." – Jack Armstrong [03:32]
  • They compare the process to authoritarian regimes:
    • Quote: “Fidel Castro is reclining in hell thinking, yes, that's how one party states work. If we see an opposition figure burble up and get a little support, we kneecap him and then tell the people who they're going to vote for.” – Jack Armstrong [22:05]
• Prediction: Further movement expected before Tuesday. Democratic candidates will clear the field for Becerra or Steyer.
• Sarcastic Disappointment: “[That] took the fun out of my Friday.” – Joe Getty [22:55]

2. GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs: Hype, Promise, and Cautions

[03:47 – 15:28]

• The Hype:
  • Exploding popularity and affordable access to Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, etc.
  • Not just about weight loss—13 surprising science-backed benefits (Washington Post report): rheumatoid arthritis relief, anti-inflammatory effects, lower blood pressure, improved sleep apnea, liver and heart disease, even addiction cravings.
• Science & Subtle Differences:
  • Mechanisms differ: “Ozempic and Wegovy are semaglutide… Zepbound is tirzepatide, which act on other pathways, potentially enhancing their effects.” – Jack Armstrong [05:49]
  • Some rare risks (osteoporosis, tendon tears); effects often fade when meds are stopped; potential for worsened health if quit abruptly.
• Profound Neurological Impacts:
  • Early studies: GLP-1s may rewire circuitry in the brain that manages not only appetite, but also emotion and pleasure.
    • “Ozempic may be reshaping the brain. Scientists say GLP1 drugs may be rewiring circuits not only involved in appetite, but in emotion, desire, and beyond.” – Jack Armstrong [08:58]
  • Emotional flattening, reduced pleasure/motivation, diminished hobbies/libido—social media and clinical anecdotes.
• Ethical & Existential Dilemma:
  • Armstrong: “The idea that I would have less pleasure, less motivation, diminished interest in my hobbies, reduced sexual desire. No, sorry, no, no.” [12:41]
  • Getty: “What’s the point of being thin if you don’t enjoy anything? Seriously, what is the point?” [13:06]
• Breakthrough Drug News:
  • Eli Lilly’s experimental “retatrutide” helps users lose 28% of body weight, but requires intensive monitoring and may cause dramatic body changes (e.g., loose skin).
  • Armstrong’s doctor’s perspective: “He says he's had virtually nothing but success with these, with patients.” [14:51]

Notable Banter:

• “The smile of your baby? Who gives a crap?” – Jack Armstrong (on potential emotional blunting) [06:50]
• “Dramatic anti-inflammatory effects…people’s hands are a mess, then they take these drugs and a week later they feel brand new.” – Jack Armstrong [04:54]

---

3. Geopolitics: Iran Ceasefire, Russia’s Probes, and Putin’s Quest for Immortality

[25:33 – 36:05]

• Iran Deal and Strait Dispute:
  • A draft agreement could extend the fragile ceasefire and reopen the strait; US and Iran publicly at odds about order and substance of concessions.
  • Both sides posture, with Iran’s parliament speaker declaring: "We seize concessions not through dialogue, but with missiles." [27:28]
  • Armstrong and Getty see the “strait” issue as a pawn—the real contest: Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
    • “Keep in mind that opening the strait ain't the point anyway. The strait was open before the war. This is all about the nuclear capability. The strait is a distraction.” – Jack Armstrong [30:55]
  • Concern: US leverages are weakening as time passes; Iran may simply wait for a less forceful US administration.
• Russia’s Military Actions:
  • Russian drone strikes hit an apartment complex in Romania (a NATO country). Getty notes the West is quick to downplay it as a mistake, but Armstrong adds, “A lot of European leaders think this is a probe made to look like an accident. That's what Putin does. He thrusts and he thrusts, looking for softness.” [35:04]
• Putin’s Pursuit of Longevity:
  • “Vladimir Putin is on a 26 billion dollar quest for immortality and it involves harvesting human organs from tiny pigs.” – Getty [35:37]
  • Armstrong notes: “Let him spend the money on it. Maybe he'll come up with a breakthrough that helps us all.” [35:58]
  • Russians known for scientific prowess—even if their “business and manufacturing are too corrupt.” [46:44]

---

4. Progressive Culture & Selective Outrage

[39:20 – 46:19]

• Trans Period Pride in Boston:
  • Armstrong skewers the “Trans Period Pride” event at Boston Public Library:
    • “Thanks for—you see, I’ve got no uterus, so that’s what’s holding me back. But we’re working on it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed Trans Period Day. Good lord, these people are insane.” [40:18]
• NYC Council Islamic Hatred Incident:
  • Councilmember caught asking Allah to curse Muslim women protesting anti-Semitism.
  • “Imagine if a Republican Christian made anything within a hundred miles of that kind of statement about a Muslim or anyone.” – Getty [42:06]
• Victor Davis Hanson (VDH) Read & Commentary:
  • VDH’s article lambastes selective outrage against Israel and Jewish Americans, tracing ignored atrocities in Turkey, Somalia, and the Arab world.
    • “The idea of painting Israel and its Jewish supporters as Nazis and fascists and the worst murderers in today's bloody world is utterly nonsensical.” – Paraphrased narration [43:17]
  • Armstrong praises VDH’s “morally consistent” stance (esp. on historical parallels).

---

Notable Quotes & Moments with Timestamps

• On the GLP-1s’ Downside:
  “The idea that I would have less pleasure, less motivation, diminished interest in my hobbies, reduced sexual desire. No, sorry, no, no. I'll try to power walk more and get less fat.” – Jack Armstrong [12:41]

• On California Politics:
  “Fidel Castro is reclining in hell thinking, yes, that’s how one party states work…” – Jack Armstrong [22:05]

• On Iran Deal Skepticism:
  “Keep in mind that opening the strait ain’t the point anyway. The strait was open before the war. This is all about the nuclear capability. The strait is a distraction.” – Jack Armstrong [30:55]

• On Emotional Effects of Weight Loss Drugs:
  “What’s the point of being thin if you don’t enjoy anything? Any—seriously, what is the point?” – Joe Getty [13:06]

• On Progressive Culture:
  “Trans Period Day. Good lord, these people are insane.” – Jack Armstrong [40:18]

• On Russia & Scientific Ambition:
  “Vladimir Putin is on a 26 billion dollar quest for immortality, and it involves harvesting human organs from tiny pigs.” – Joe Getty [35:37]

[Bruise Cruise Announcer]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

And now here.

[Bruise Cruise Announcer]

Here's Armstrong and Yeti.

[Joe Getty]

I think this tease is worth the breaking news. Donkey. It's A breaking news donkey tease. We'll get into the details later.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is unprecedented. You better not be abusing that donkey unnecessarily.

[Joe Getty]

Hot off the presses. Gubernatorial poll in California from UC Berkeley and the LA Times just came out. Our man Steve Hilton is no longer at the top. Javier Becerra quintipled his numbers in the last couple of months. Tom Steyer doubled. So we'll get into the details coming up. But this is not good news. And a bunch of other Democrats have dropped down so low I'll bet they get out. So the other. Those other Democrat numbers will go up a lot. Anyway, we'll get into the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Not happy to see this dudes.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a one party state. That's how it works.

[Joe Getty]

Sign Nicholas Maduro and dudes. People that worked with Javier Becerra in Biden's cabinet are laughing at this. Yeah. Like him. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yep. I give up. So the GLP1s, the. The weight loss drugs, your wegovies and Ozempics and all those drugs, everybody's heard about them, we've been talking about and the news continues to come out on them. A couple of really fascinating pieces of journalism and science recently and we will post all of these [e-mail] you may get paywalled. I hope not. Figure out a way around it or subscribe or something.

[Joe Getty]

And they've gotten affordable now, right? They're not super crazy expensive.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a part of the reason. Or the GLP1 is correct. Yeah. Yeah. So headline number one 13 Surprising Ways GLP1s May Benefit the Body according to science. They opened this article in the Washington Post with a description of so called wonder drugs or panaceas. Who Panacea was literally a Greek goddess that could cure anything. And what they're writing about is as prescriptions have soared for these things, doctors have reported unexpected benefits in addition to controlling blood sugar and body weight, which we all know about. And they name check rheumatoid arthritis. People's hands are a mess. Then they take these drugs and a week later they feel brand new. This is unconnected to the weight loss.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. You wouldn't even care about what the scale says. The never ending pain in your hands went away, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Dramatic anti inflammatory effects. Similar improvements have been noted by a professor of medicine at Yale in blood pressure and by other clinicians in sleep apnea, joint pain, liver disease, possibly heart disease, asthma, addiction, all unrelated to weight gain or weight loss. I should say the medications are different as they make clear in Chemical ways that may be significant. I'm not going to get into the weeds. I sucked at chemistry again. Read this and talk to your doctor.

[Joe Getty]

You're saying even though they call these all GLP1s, they are different?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

The medications differ by brand. Ozempic and Wegovia are semi glutide synthetic versions of GLP1 that regulate blood sugar and signal fullness. While And Zeppbound are TIR zepatides which mimic GLP1 and also act on second hormonal pathways, GOP, blah blah blah. Potentially enhancing their effects. Thought they were all closer to the same, but okay, there's, there's. I would say they're subtly different. They mentioned there are risks. Rare but serious complications have been reported. Maybe osteoporosis and tendon tears, but again, rare. And the other caveat is they don't necessarily stick around. Early evidence suggests many of the effects fade once the medication is stopped. And. And there may even be increased risk of some health problems if you stop that they can't reverse.

[Joe Getty]

But is that a problem? People who take blood pressure medicine take

[Jack Armstrong]

it the rest of their lives.

[Joe Getty]

Why wouldn't you just take this stuff

[Jack Armstrong]

the rest of your life? Yeah, nobody's quite sure what effect it'll have on you if you take it for the rest of your life. I would. You know, just to summarize this before you generally summarize things. Unbelievable promise and some yellow lights about these drugs. I mean, you're right, you're right. If this is the sort of maintenance drug that you can just keep taking, well, let's do it. But there's some concern, and we're gonna get to this in a minute, about long term use and emotional flattening and stuff like that. You no longer are thinking about food or get pleasure from food. You no longer get pleasure from alcohol. What else are you not getting pleasure from? So anyway, we'll get to that in a minute. Right, right. The smile of your baby gives a crap.

[Joe Getty]

Not that again.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. You call yourself cute. So anyway, here we go. The proven, the promising and the theoretical strong evidence supported by large scale clinical trials in humans, blah, blah, blah, that it helps a great deal with heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease and sleep apnea.

[Joe Getty]

Can it do anything for rbf?

[Jack Armstrong]

Not yet. Some good evidence, not quite the strongest evidence that it can help with Alzheimer's and dementia.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God. It is a panacea.

[Jack Armstrong]

Arthritis and inflammation and addiction, Alcohol, nicotine and opioid cravings. And then based on preliminary studies on lab research, animals, blah Blah, blah, smallish data sets. But wait a minute. Is there something here? Type levels of science, asthma, cancers, COVID 19, fertility, quote, unquote, food, noise and polycystic ovary syndrome, believe it or not. And then they go into a great deal of detail about all of those things in this piece. Again, we'll post it under hotlinksmstrongandgetti.com Fascinating.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I'd say maybe it's. It's the wonder drug people been waiting for for a long time. And I imagine they can tweak them from here.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that's the opening volley. Here's act two of the play. Ozempic may be reshaping the brain. Scientists say GLP1 drugs may be rewiring circuits not only involved in appetite, but in emotion, desire, and beyond.

[Joe Getty]

This reminded me of the famous Simpsons episode where a comic book guy, cynical comic book guy, was dating that old lady who was also cynical. And they're watching the sunset or sunrise. Sunset.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sunset. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Could it be any more orange? I'm glad there's only one of those a day.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. They're both on Ozempic. Or maybe not. So listen to this, would you? Ozempic was supposed to be a gut story. Then Allison Shapiro looked at the brain scans. Allison's an assistant professor at University of Colorado. She was part of a team studying a dozen or so teens and young women with hormonal disorder affecting the ovaries who were put on GLP1 drugs. As part of testing to catalog the effects of the medication on their bodies. Shapiro took snapshots of their brains before and after. She was astonished to find extensive changes within only a few months. The brain connections in the salience network, which helped target attention, had multiplied. And she said, we had no idea this was going to happen, and we really don't know what it means. Researchers probe are probing deep, more deeply into how the drugs work. And early evidence suggests GLP1 may also be reset, reshaping parts of the brain. Brain. And they're trying to figure out how they affect not only eating behavior, but also addiction, cognition, neurodegeneration, even motivation and pleasure.

[Joe Getty]

So you meet a girl, she's fit and thin, but you get her flowers, and she's like, yeah, great.

[Jack Armstrong]

What do you want me to do with these?

[Joe Getty]

Bocce ring. Cool. I'd like to spend the rest of my life with you. Awesome.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not sure. You know, again, this is very, very preliminary. Not all of the reported mental effects of GLP1 drugs have been positive on social media and at doctor's Offices. Some users have reported a type of brain fog and others something broader and harder to define. A strange, emotional flattening. People describe less pleasure, less motivation, diminished interest in hobbies, and even reduced sexual desire. So these accounts are beginning to raise deeper questions about what exactly these drugs are changing in our brains.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, you know, it's hard to. It's hard to imagine that you could make all of those positive changes without other change that you weren't, like, trying for. It'd be different if you were trying for, you know, but the fact that you got all these added benefits just out of nowhere, not expecting it. Okay, well, it's hard to imagine there wouldn't be some negative things you weren't expecting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Also, what I'm about to say is that what works. Right? Right. Yeah. What I'm about to say is either the simple wisdom of a homespun philosopher or it's a complete waste of your time. Because I don't know much about science. What we're doing is messing with the very basics of go toward that and go away from that as a living creature. And some of the stuff we're going toward, like that third jelly donut you

[Joe Getty]

really don't need, and jelly donuts. I love donuts, but it should not have in jelly in it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I am such a fan of the jelly donut since I was a kid.

[Joe Getty]

I bite into a donut and there's cream in there I want to vomit.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was just gonna ask. Bavarian cream, Same thing for you.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, where are you?

[Jack Armstrong]

Chocolate on top. It's proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. What about custard? Oh, custard. Delightful filling. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

As much as I love donuts, I can't handle that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, teach their own. Anyway, so you're messing with the. You know, go toward the antelope meat and away from the fire in a way that's beneficial, at least on the surface. But I've got to tell you, the idea that I would have less pleasure, less motivation, diminished interest in my hobbies, reduced sexual desire. No, sorry, no, no. I'll try to power walk more and get less fat.

[Joe Getty]

Obviously, that's not a trade. What's the point of being thin if you don't enjoy anything? Any. I mean, seriously, what is the point?

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Yeah, yeah. You still. Well, you'd stay alive longer being utterly flat emotionally.

[Joe Getty]

Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'll get that. So it's. Again, it's a fascinating. There are green lights, yellow lights, and a couple of red lights and. And science is just at the dawn of understanding what's going on. I'll summarize the last thing very, very quickly. Eli Lilly this month showed startling new data that an experimental weight loss drug caused people with obesity to shed on average 28% of their body weight, which makes the other GLP1 drugs look like a waste of time.

[Joe Getty]

That's the one they had on the news last week that I'd heard about. Yeah. 28% of your body weight.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. The drugs are called retrotrutides. But doctors are warning that using a drug to shrink your body that much will require close medical management. And you are really playing with fire.

[Joe Getty]

Well, plus, you're going to look like an elephant.

[Jack Armstrong]

You'll have a trunk. Is that what you mean? You'll have a trunk of tusks is what I mean.

[Joe Getty]

No, you'll be all saggy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. Yeah, yeah. You'd almost have to get plastic surgery. But this is people whose lives are at risk, you know, and, and they're already in trouble. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

The 28, you're, you're a 500 pounder

[Jack Armstrong]

and, and you know, and your heart's about to explode. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

But the other ones, I think practically everybody has been thinking, you know, maybe I'll try that and get rid of this last eight pounds that I've been fighting forever or whatever, but not if it makes, you know, I can't enjoy Wimby and the spurs when I watch TV anymore or want to have sex or any of those things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right. My doc, who's a great young, curious doctor. He's everything you'd want in a gp. He says he's had virtually nothing but success with these, with patients.

[Joe Getty]

You sound like you kind of got a thing for your doctor.

[Jack Armstrong]

I, I do.

[Joe Getty]

He's very. Fingers up. Ya.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's got a delightful little southern accent as well. Has he? Are you kidding? I go in for a sore throat. I insist on that just to be safe as he had his fingers up. This is what I work with, folks. Every day I have to come to work and deal with this. I'm calling hr. Do we have an hr?

[Joe Getty]

I like that you took it further, though.

[Jack Armstrong]

I appreciate that.

[Joe Getty]

Sheriff Chad in your facial hair. You got to get out of the race dude. You're at 5%. The voting is Tuesday. You ain't gonna be governor of California. Get out. So at least that 5% can go to Steve Hilton. But unfortunately I think the Katie Porters and others are gonna get out for the Democrats. So here we are at the latest poll. It's an LA Times U. Berkeley poll that is a well respected polling organization in California. Becerra, former HHS secretary under Joe Biden and was. You didn't even know he was the HHS secretary during the biggest health problem in our nation's history. So what does that say all the other people that had to step forward and take the lead on that? There's a reason nobody in the Biden administration thought he could do the job or had any idea what he was doing. And there are plenty of people out there saying it. He is now leading the poll to be governor of California. 25% support Javier Becerra. He was at 5% in March. He's now at 25%. He quintupled his numbers. Tom Steyer, the billionaire, whatever the hell he is, not nut. He doubled his from 10 to 19. Steve Hilton went up a little. He's from 17 to 21. And it's what's the margin of error? It's only 2%. Margin of error is only 2%. So 25, 2119.

[Jack Armstrong]

So it's word went out to the unions and the powers that be in the one party state. All right, here's your two. You get Becerra and Stier. Becerra is the winner. Stiers in there to keep the Republican off. So that that's clearly what happened and

[Joe Getty]

I think that's what's going to happen because polling is usually about the direction it's going and the direction it's going. You know, these numbers are. When did they. This was up until the 24th. So they were growing like this five days ago. Those numbers will be even bigger by Tuesday.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's like Gavin said, we have a break the glass strategy to prevent, you know, the horrors of one or even two Republicans being. The break the glass strategy was the word went out to all of the unions. These are the two.

[Joe Getty]

You're right. And he had internal polling. He knew these numbers that we're talking about right now. He knew that. That they were starting to go that direction.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, no, no, no, no, no. I disagree completely. I disagree completely. He didn't have to.

[Joe Getty]

He.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're not reflecting the popular will, they're dictating it.

[Joe Getty]

No, that's what I mean. His strategy had worked. He'd got the word out. He had the internal polling. So he didn't mind.

[Jack Armstrong]

Said that.

[Joe Getty]

He didn't mind coming out and saying that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

And looking like a fool because he knew.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

He had the internal polling to show. It's worked. It's worked. We got the word out and it worked.

[Jack Armstrong]

So, yeah, there you go. Get it.

[Joe Getty]

That is disappointing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fidel Castro is reclining in hell thinking, yes, that's how one party states work. If we see an opposition figure burble up and get a little support, we kneecap him and then tell the people who they're going to vote for. And if they don't, they'll get a whack.

[Joe Getty]

I wouldn't be surprised if today a Katie Porter doesn't get out. Matt Mahan. They don't have a lot, but that's still right there. 11%. That's going to go to a Democrat.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Matt's not a party loyalist, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him hang in there and fight a little bit. He's actually got ideas.

[Joe Getty]

Take your beard, do the right thing, drop out of the race.

[Jack Armstrong]

He has no. It was mustache.

[Joe Getty]

Facial hair. Take your facial hair.

[Jack Armstrong]

In short. Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Try again next time.

[Jack Armstrong]

One party state. Viva la revolution.

[Joe Getty]

That's disappointing. I took the fun out of my Friday.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's disgusting is what it is.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

According to US officials, the President has been briefed on a draft agreement that would extend the current fragile ceasefire and see the Strait reopen over the course of 60 days. Iran loosening its grip on the Critical Waterway as the US Pulls back its naval blockade on Iranian ports. Buying time to start Negotiating an end to the war.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Well, Mary Bruce of ABC goes on with the latest supposed deal.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

But this tentative agreement says nothing of what happens to Iran's nuclear program, the central issue in this war. And it follows weeks of whiplash and discussions of deals that never came to be. Sources say the US has committed to discussing sanctions relief for Iran during the negotiation period, something the President had said was not up for discussion.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, I don't know. I don't understand what's going on here. So let's let Scott Besant, Treasury Secretary, say something about it. That's clip 54, and then we'll fill in some of the details. It is a multifaceted agreement, and nothing is going to be on the table

[Jack Armstrong]

until we see the strait of removes

[Joe Getty]

open and the Iranians agree that they, they have to turn over the, the highly enriched uranium and that they can't have a nuclear program. All right, except that's not exactly. Seems to be what's happening here. And it's true on both sides. So you got the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, to whatever extent he speaks for Iran, and that's always an open question, but he put out this tweet this morning. One, we seize concessions not through dialogue, but with missiles. In negotiations, we merely make them understand, whatever that means. Two, we have no trust in guarantees or words. Only actions are the measure. No action will be taken before the other side acts. In other words, we ain't opening in the straight until we get the money, which is the opposite of what Trump says. And three, the winner of any agreement is the one who's better prepared for war from the day after, whatever that means.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Joe Getty]

So they're being pretty, pretty blustery and saying, no, no, no, no, you do your guarantees first, then we'll do ours. We're saying the exact, exact opposite, like, no, no, no, no, you don't get any money until the straight is open. First of all, if that's the only thing you got to do to get the money, I am not digging it, because that leaves the nuclear stuff that for, for further discussion later. They could close the street at any moment.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right.

[Joe Getty]

And, and our ability to, to go back to war gets harder every day because you can't, you can't stay, you can't keep your gun cocked permanently.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Right. Yeah. First to one of your points. The idea is they're opening the straight is the preliminary move, and then we give them preliminary money flowed. Not, not big money, but, you know, quid pro quo. But I'm looking at some really good analysis on this. And, you know, allegedly an agreement is close. The Iranian initials are on paper. But. But despite what this guy said about

[Joe Getty]

whatever this guy was, that one thing

[Jack Armstrong]

he said about, we see concessions not

[Joe Getty]

through dialogue, but with missiles.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, that's just for their own audience, I think. But the Wall Street Journal editorial board claims to have the outlines of the agreement from high ranking administration officials. Iran would commit to demining the strait within 30 days so traffic can be unrestricted and untold. Though the US Would expect more commercial ships to flow through the straight southern lane immediately here, it's especially important for the language to be clear because it isn't. The sides would also agree in writing to settle the disposition of Iran's enriched uranium. In further talks, though, it's better to fill in details of what went and how in advance, lest the regime try to wriggle out, which of course they will. Sanctions relief, though not up front. It would come in exchange for progress in negotiations, then for performance of the deal. The deal's two stage structure is the biggest risk without a US blockade. To your point, Jack, during nuclear negotiations, it'll become even harder to extract concessions or secure their execution. Iran dragged out talks with Barack Obama for two years. Now it would love to extend Mr. Trump 60 days indefinitely. And the US military threat becomes less credible the longer talks drag on, of course.

[Joe Getty]

And they could reclose the street at any moment. Any moment. And there's less likelihood every day that Trump's willing to go back to war. Even if you leave out the whole, our military's less ready to do it as we go further down the road.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Even without that, because Trump's not willing to do it today or a week ago or a month ago. He's not going to do it. But later this summer when we're even closer to the midterms and make gas go back up again, every. And the public opinion would go crazy. There's no chance, and the Iranians know that there's no chance if they close the strait again in July that Trump's gonna start bombing the crap out of them. Not. Not a chance. And they know that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Keep in mind that opening the straight ain't the point anyway. The strait was open before the war. This is all about the nuclear capability. The strait is a distraction.

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're going to make a lot of money off of it, which helps fund their nuclear program. And, and we're going to threaten their nuclear program. And they're, they're going to say, yeah, you want this straight, to stay Closed permanently. Go ahead.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're going to reassemble all your troops and start bombing us again. Go ahead. We don't care we kill our own people. You're going to kill our people. Boohoo. Telling you, I've never been big on smell to it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I've never been big on the whole taco thing, but I think Trump lost his nerve on this one. He just didn't want to take it. That next step of really serious bombing and, you know, Marines on the ground and losing lives and everything that it would have taken to push them over the edge.

[Jack Armstrong]

Only possible powerful counterargument is they're running on fumes and it's getting worse. And the IRGC is about to collapse of. It's true, you know, starvation.

[Joe Getty]

Sure hope that's true.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it very well could be true. Very well. Yeah, well, it's, it either is or it isn't. Let's, let's, let's find out. Because like I said, this whole thing smells of indecision and getting outmaneuvered by brutal, brutal people.

[Joe Getty]

So why would we make a deal now as opposed to wait and see how long they can put up with the pain? Because gas prices are high and Trump's 2/3 to 70% of America is turned against the war.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I think there's a lot of pressure coming from a lot of countries around the world, including some pretty important ones, that. Hey, hey, open up the straight, please. Talk about the nukes later. You can do whatever you want, but get the straight open,

[Joe Getty]

man. If they end up in a position to get a nuclear weapon,

[Jack Armstrong]

whoops.

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're going to do it anyway. I mean, they were headed that direction already.

[Jack Armstrong]

Took Trump's credit. The one thing he said over and over again, unequivocally, is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon versus only in office for a couple more years. And the one thing they're great at, great at, is stringing out negotiations.

[Joe Getty]

You get a Kamala Harris type who all they do is say, don't. What do you say to Iranian leadership trying to get a nuclear weapon? Don't. With no action whatsoever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's practically hilarious. It's pathetic. Word from our friends at Incogni. We're all plagued every day with spam calls, spam texts, sketchy emails, and each one starts the same way. Somebody found you at a data broker site. Your name, your address, your email, your kids names, for God's sake. All of it's searchable and for sale. They just need Google in five minutes and Then they scam you. But the real fix is Incogni. The real fix is to disappear.

[Joe Getty]

Yep. Incogni is busy removing our names and info from hundreds of databases right now. They don't stop there. They keep sending follow up requests using the law on their side. So your data stays removed, which protects you from spam scams and real digital threats that are just annoying, for one thing.

go all War and Peace on a Friday, but at some point we ought to talk about the fact that Russia hit Romania overnight.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, a number of super interesting Russia headlines that we could go over maybe next hour.

[Joe Getty]

An apartment complex in a NATO country got hit by a Russian drone, so that ain't good. But everybody's immediately, like, nobody's Even mentioned Article 5 or anything like that. Everybody's assuming it was a mistake and Russia didn't do it on purpose, et cetera, et cetera. But it could have been just testing to see. I wonder how serious they are about Article 5.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't think the year. I get the idea that the Euros are not nearly so Cavaliers assuming it's an accident. A lot of European leaders think this is a probe. Probe made to look like an excellent. That's what Putin does. He thrusts and he thrusts, looking for softness. We'll. We'll hammer this next hour and you too will believe this is intentional.

[Joe Getty]

That's not even close to the most interesting Putin story of the day, though. The interesting Putin story of the day is. Have you seen this headline?

[Jack Armstrong]

Do I have time for.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, let me just.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that. He spent billions and billions of dollars on longevity.

[Joe Getty]

The headline is so good though. I like the way it was written. I want to get it exactly right from the Wall Street Journal. Vladimir Putin is on a 26 billion dollar quest for immortality and it involves harvesting human organs from tiny pigs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, many pigs.

[Joe Getty]

It's pretty interesting actually, though.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

You know, let him spend the money on it. Maybe he'll come up with a breakthrough that helps us all. We got a lot of good stuff on the way. Hope you can stay here.

Tiny piglet. Do we get to that story later?

[Jack Armstrong]

Next hour, Russia at war, including the tiny piglets. And Vladimir Putin trying to live forever. Just craziness. It makes sense for a megalomaniac like that to be looking well, he's got unlimited resources.

[Joe Getty]

Lots of billionaires do it. It makes sense if you're a billionaire. I mean, what else is there to buy? I mean, and if you're not going to spend money on living longer, what's the point of having endless money, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

And for the longest time, a lot of folks considered Putin the richest man on earth. It's just all off the books probably. Anyway, all of that next hour, we promise it'll be interesting. But first, progressives on the march. This is the Soviet national anthem to remind us all that progressivism in the modern world is Marxism trying to build the Marxist utopia. It's not a bad sounding national anthem, but they are dirty commies, never forget. So a couple of stories from progressive America. The Massachusetts chapter of the national organization for Women known as Mass now is slated to host in its third annual Trans Period Pride at the Boston Public Library in June. Attendees will hear about trans experiences with menstruation from the Massachusetts Trans Political Coalition and the mayor of Boston.

[Joe Getty]

Does somebody get up there and say bad news still hasn't happened yet. Maybe next year.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thanks for you see, I've got no uterus, so that's what's holding me back. But we're working on it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed Trans Period Day. Good lord, these people are insane.

[Joe Getty]

I got a trans story. Remind me to tell it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's right. Don't let anyone. That's somebody else remember. Remind me to remind him because I'll forget. The Islamianism of New York City continues unabated. The New York Post talking about how anybody sane thinks the New York City Council is a joke. And they're writing about Shahana Hanif who is the co chair of the council's task force to combat hate, which they consider everybody sick, is how the UN keeps putting Iran and Cuba on the Human Rights Commission. So this Democrat or democratic socialist latest blow came there was a protest of Zoran Mandani's Israel bashing and anti Semitism. Appropriately, it was big too. Got no coverage. Anyway, two Muslim women spoke at the protest saying hatred toward Jewish people is hatred and we're against religious based hatred. Well, this councilwoman reacted to them saying that by publicly in a speech begging Allah to condemn them to Jahannam, the hottest part of hell in the Quran. Wow. All of it publicly. Weird. The New York Times isn't covering that. Isn't it? And she's been on various anti hate crimes things and, and makes it absolutely certain that. Imagine if a hate from Muslims is protected because to resist it is Islamophobia as always.

[Joe Getty]

Imagine if a Republican Christian made anything within a hundred miles of that kind of statement about oh yeah, Muslim or anyone. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yep. And then I came across this on a very similar talk topic from the great vdh, Victor Davis Hansen, who is, if you don't know his act, he' just a commentator on various media outlets. But he is a very, very well respected historian and he is, if you want to know, morally consistent too.

[Joe Getty]

If you want to know about the Peloponnesian War, he's your man.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I do. But when Tucker went nuts, he said, tucker's wrong and sick. I don't know what happened to him. He's completely wrong. VDH has spine. Anyway, he writes, since October 7th of 23, we've been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel. His headline being Israel Hate Haters Selective Outrage exposes the hypocrisy of their lives. And he says the idea of painting Israel and its Jewish supporters as Nazis and fascists and the worst murderers in today's bloody world is utterly nonsensical. And how sick it is that the medieval style massacre of 1200 Jews in their homes on October 7 gave rise to anti Semitism is just so sick. But anyway, he goes into the details. Over the decades we've sold arms and given billions of dollars in military aid to Turkey. Yet in the earlier 20th century, the Turkish government conducted a genocidal policy of ethnic cleansing against its Armenian Christian population, for which it's never apologized and which it continues to deny. They even invaded Cyprus in 1974, ethnically cleansed Northern Cyprus of its Greek inhabitants. There are no demonstrations anywhere in America on behalf of the far more recent nagpa, which is a term I could explain later of the Cypriot Greeks. It's a misused term that idiot activists and keffiyehs pretend is like Jews forcing the Palestinians out, which is a bizarre rewriting of history. And he asked, did Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil ever rally his army of idealists to damn the Islamic driven ethnic cleansing of the ancient population of Christian Armenians? Or to call for the United States to sever its joint arms deals with Turkey? See, before the 1967 war. Nearly a million Jews were living in Arab and Muslim Middle Eastern countries, descendants of folks who'd been there for centuries. But during the serial Arab Israeli wars of the 20th century, they were almost entirely pushed out of those countries. None appear before the television cameras shaking the keys of their confiscated homes in Algiers, Amman, Baghdad or Cairo. And of course, no one dares to say the Arabs ethnically cleansed almost all of their Jewish citizens. And he goes on, this next part I really enjoyed. Between 1987, 1989, the Somali Marxist dictator Mohammed Syed Bar began slaughtering entire rival Somali clans. The eventual death toll may have reached nearly 200,000. 200,000. When Barr's murderous regime finally imploded, thousands of Somali refugees who had either supported him or belonged to his clan fled. The once despised fled to the once despised west, especially the United States and Europe. Among those pro Bar refugees were apparently members of Representative Ilhan Omar's family, including her father, a colonel and regimental commander in Barr's army that took part in the slaughter. It's a bitter irony that Omar is now such a sharp critic of Israel and the U.S. given that America granted refuge to her family that had to flee because they committed an actual genocide. Yet we are not aware that any Somalis today are being accosted by strangers as Jews are, and lectured about what their former leader's regime did to those thousands of innocent civilians. And he goes on, it is brilliantly thorough. He goes down to Uganda, where Mamdani himself was born among these settler colonial exploiters. Does he have to defend himself as the son of interlopers, as is often said of the Jews in Israel? He goes on and on. Good stuff, vdh. Well done, sir. Well done.

[Joe Getty]

So we're gonna have time for the tiny pigs?

[Jack Armstrong]

There's always time for tiny pigs.

[Joe Getty]

They're growing organs and tiny pigs. Or Putin is. Yeah, I'm happy he's spending $26 billion state money to try to make him live longer, but they might have some serious breakthroughs that would be helpful to all of us.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's entirely possible. My buddy Rob, who had a career as an engineer and is an extremely smart guy and has traveled the world doing scientific and engineering stuff, says the Russians are great at the science. They've long been leaders in science. Even the Soviet Union, they just stink at manufacturing and business. They're too corrupt. But they get science right.
