Overview

This episode of Armstrong & Getty kicks off a new week with the duo reflecting on the oddities and contradictions of the current American moment, especially focusing on the “No Kings” protest movement and the nation’s continued polarization. The hosts dissect what motivates mass protests today, the shifting cultural landscape surrounding masculinity and gender, a volatile international situation (notably the Israel-Hamas ceasefire), and the perennial circus of American politics—including Trump, Biden, and media coverage. The show moves fluidly between sharp, often irreverent social commentary and headline-driven news recaps, punctuated with humor and memorable banter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. A Week Pregnant with Possibilities (03:09–04:27)

• Jack opens on an existential note, joking about how a week can bring life-changing events—good or bad.
  • “Could be the week of your life you remember forever... or you get marched to your car with a cardboard box.” (03:31–03:43)
  • Joe quips the more likely fate: "another boatload of meth." (03:43)

2. The “No Kings” Protests: America Gets Weird (04:08–12:04)

• Hosts discuss the nationwide “No Kings” protests, which seem to target authoritarianism (and specifically Trump), but lack clear messaging.
  • Jack shares an anecdote about driving a Tesla Cybertruck through a protest and being jeered by liberals for driving a Musk-affiliated EV (04:08–04:27).
  • Notable: Both sides at the protest had “Epstein” signs, emphasizing the confusion and conspiratorial undertones (05:35–05:43).
• Armstrong and Getty probe the ambiguity of the protest’s purpose and the motivations behind it:
  • Joe: "Nobody can quite tell you what it is, what it's against, other than Kings, clearly…of a generalized I don’t like Donald Trump demonstration, right?" (06:42)
  • They lampoon the sense of protest as mere social gathering or “political masturbation.”
    • Joe: "It’s just a giant ego fest. It's political masturbation. Sorry." (08:41)
  • The futility of protests is dissected—contrasting modern spectacles with the civil rights era. Protests nowadays are framed more as tribal, feel-good moments, not as engines of real change. (09:01–09:42)
    • Joe: “Tell me by Tuesday noon what the hell it accomplished, what minds it changed, what legislation it spawned.” (09:31)

3. The National Pastime: Following Trump (06:36–12:12)

• Jack and Joe note: endlessly tracking Trump has replaced baseball as America’s true pastime; the polarization is more severe than ever.
  • Jack: “The national pastime is not baseball. It’s following Trump whether you like or hate him, right?” (06:36)
  • They joke about the crowd dynamic of protests and modern political engagement.
    • Jack: “Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd.” (12:40)

4. Pop Culture & Sports Sidebar: Shohei Ohtani’s Historic Game (10:23–11:51)

• Brief aside: Jack, proud of his Dodgers hat, celebrates Ohtani’s pitching/hitting feat, possibly the greatest single-game performance ever.
  • "He batted three times. He hit three home runs. He pitched six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts... Many people are calling [it] the greatest performance by any single player in the history of a game that has been going for 150 years." (10:54)
  • Banter ensues on his physical presence and poise.

5. Protest, Authoritarianism, and Double Standards (12:12–13:37)

• Satirical bit: Jack and Joe make fun of groupthink against Trump.
  • Joe: "Hang on a second. Looking around, just making sure. Yeah, no freaking kings in here because I’m against that." (12:12)
  • They call out both left and right for “king moves”—ignoring the Supreme Court, or stretching executive authority.
  • Jack: “Remember when Joe Biden [tried to] do away with those college loans…but I did it anyway? And the crowd would cheer...Do you remember the last couple of days of his administration where he tweeted out that the Equal Rights Amendment was now part of the Constitution? …That was a king move of any kind.” (12:54–13:32)

6. The Feminization of Men and Cultural Balance (13:54–14:51)

• Preview of an upcoming discussion (to be continued in future segments): Jack teases an article critiquing changes in masculinity, blaming both men’s and women’s choices for dating woes. Joe references societal “feminization” and the need for balance, promising a deeper dive.

7. News Roundup with Katie Green (18:10–23:07)

• Internet Outage: AWS down, causes wide site disruptions (19:15).
• Trump “No Kings” Protest Response: Trump posts cartoonish video dropping “poo” on protesters—a satirical escalation (20:04–20:16).
• FBI Investigates Trump Jet Threat: Suspicious hunting stand near Air Force One; serious safety concern (20:18–20:48).
• Israel-Hamas Update: Ceasefire fragile; both sides accuse each other of violations, but even mainstream media is blaming Hamas more (21:04–21:42).
• Rare Earths and Pickleball Injuries: Lead-ins for later segments.
• Quick, sarcastic headlines—including a Babylon Bee joke: “John Bolton’s mustache agrees to testify against him in exchange for immunity.” (22:27)

8. Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Reality Check (26:56–33:41)

• The hosts explore the latest from the Middle East:
  • Question if the ceasefire will hold; both Jack and Joe doubt it.
    • Joe: “The idea that there's some enduring peace right now is practically fantasy.” (28:45)
  • Washington Post: "The Gaza ceasefire is cracking. Hamas is to blame. Terrorist brutality risks igniting a Palestinian civil war." (29:26)
• Discussion of 60 Minutes interview with Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz (Witkoff), architects of the ceasefire. The hosts praise the segment for showing these often-caricatured figures as serious, competent negotiators.
  • Highlight on "stupid word games" in Mideast peace deals.
    • Kushner: "We had to write all these complex words to deal with 50 years of stupid word games that everyone in that region is so used to playing." (31:56)
  • Jack: “They came off as really, really serious. Very smart people who worked on this deal and were able to pull it off. Good for 60 Minutes for doing that story.” (33:13–33:37)

9. Sports & American Priorities (33:41–35:25)

• More on MLB playoffs, sports payrolls, and the economics of victory.
  • Jack on the Dodgers: “What am I supposed to do? I manage the team. They got me all the best players. Cool.” (34:55)

10. Breaking News: Guns & Marijuana at the Supreme Court (35:26–36:31)

• Supreme Court to consider if regular marijuana users can legally own guns; Jack and Joe riff on the logic.
  • Jack: “The answer is clearly yes, now that marijuana is legal practically everywhere, isn’t it? Because you can drink beer and own a gun…” (35:44)
  • "I wonder how they define ‘regularly’? That's a good question right there. The Supreme Court's gonna have to—Clarence Thomas will have to speak up. Define ‘regularly.’" (36:01)

11. Mailbag: Widespread Frustrations (40:25–48:47)

• Listener topics include:
  • Critiques of trans ideology and body autonomy.
  • Pushback against progressive overreach (wheelchair accessibility lawsuits; ADA code).
  • Email complaints about media saturation with LGBTQ themes.
  • The “race to the bottom” in partisan lawfare.
  • The futility of recent protests (“No Kings”) without real impact; the determinative power of special interests in elections.
• Quote of the Day: María Corina Machado (Venezuelan freedom activist):
  • "Do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously. Defend it fiercely. Because freedom is not just an American promise, it is the hope of the world." (41:30)

Closing Thoughts

This episode blends Armstrong & Getty’s signature irreverent wit and cultural critique, focusing on a country that feels increasingly tribal, confused, and riven by spectacle over substance. Listeners are left with the sense that America’s protests, politics, and even sports are now stages for the kind of affirmation and division that once belonged to fringe movements.

For fans of pointed cultural observation, political skepticism, and dynamic back-and-forth, “A Snarling Pitbull of Hate” is vintage Armstrong & Getty.

Armstrong and Getty.

[Diplo]

And now, here's Armstrong and get ready.

[Jack Armstrong]

Live from Studio C. Welcome to a brand new week. Pregnant with possibilities. Good or bad. Who knows? Could be the week of your life. You remember forever. Oh, man, I'll never Forget. It was October 24th that I met her.

[Bobby Bones]

Or.

[Jack Armstrong]

They could all fall AP park this week. You get marched to your car with a cardboard box. She leaves you and you get the toe infection. All could happen this week.

[Joe Getty]

Or more likely, another boatload of meth. The worst Fate.

[Jack Armstrong]

What's the thing we used to say all the time? Another stinking, weak answer into the man.

[Joe Getty]

That's right. Could just be that. Exactly. Y.

[Jack Armstrong]

But here we are. And today we are under the tutelage.

[Joe Getty]

Of our general manager, Kings, which we want none of. For something.

[Jack Armstrong]

Screw that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, with the. With all the Kings and such.

[Jack Armstrong]

No way, man. It's funny. My kids were more aware of the no Kings protests and I was. And I completely forgot about it. And I ended up driving right through the middle of one in my Tesla cybertruck. And that got a tremendous amount of attention from the crowd as people were jeering and screaming and yelling and pointing at me and flipping me off.

[Joe Getty]

It was quite the show.

[Jack Armstrong]

As my kids and I drove through that chase.

[Joe Getty]

There may be no better symbol of what odd times we're living in than that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that I'm driving an electric vehicle.

[Joe Getty]

From the most successful electric car company.

[Jack Armstrong]

In world history and getting attacked by liberals.

[Joe Getty]

Things are getting weird and they're getting weird fast.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it is weird.

[Joe Getty]

Somebody, like from another culture or another time asked you to explain that. It'd take you a minute.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was charging. There's a Tesla charging station here behind the radio station. I was charging like I do after the show every day. And I was over there and there was this guy, young black guy in a cyber truck pulled in next to me to charge up. And then I asked him, how do you like your truck? Blah, blah, blah. He said, man, though, when I first got it, people kept flipping me off and I couldn't figure out why, because he's not a guy who follows the news. He said, I had to research it. And I found out it's because some people hate the Elon Musk. People kept flipping me off. I was like, what is happening? It's funny, but the no Kings protest, the interesting thing about at least the one I drove through, there was a counter protest too, but on both sides. There were an. A high number of Epstein signs of some sort.

[Joe Getty]

Another both sides.

[Jack Armstrong]

What? Honk if you're not on the Epstein list. I blasted my horn and gave me the thumbs up. I don't know what that meant.

[Joe Getty]

She's denying too much, if you ask me, Michael. Anyway, I get you. That's.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's still the thing. That's. That's what got you out of bed and down to the street corner today was the Epstein files.

[Joe Getty]

And these Kings that we don't want any of. How do they stand on the whole Epstein thing? You'd have to ask both sides, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, the mainstream media, anyway, is calling it maybe the biggest protest in US History, certainly the biggest in that last half century in terms of a nationwide protest. But does that surprise anybody? We're the most polarized we've ever been at a time when people are following politics like it's their religion in a way that never happened. So, no, I'm not surprised on either side. I'm sure we'll have as big A1. You know, when you have the Trump rallies all across the country and the boat rallies and everything, and nobody'd ever seen anything like that. Of course, this is our. This is our thing now.

[Emily Maitlis]

The.

[Jack Armstrong]

The national pastime is not baseball. It's following Trump whether you like or hate him. Right?

[Joe Getty]

100% correct. And the thing that's so amusing to me about the whole no Kings rally deal is. Is in the size of it makes it even more amusing. Nobody can quite tell you what it is, what it's against, other than Kings, clearly, but it. Of a generalized I don't like Donald Trump demonstration, right? And given what you just cited so eloquently and the. The permanent omnic cause, which is, you know, a dozen, 15, 23 different causes, but they're all united around, I don't like conservatism or Trump or whatever. So I. It's all. It's so scattershot and vague to me, you'd think that if, quote, unquote, the other side were to have such a massive, massive demonstration that folks on the right would be thinking, oh, my God, what. What do we do? What have we done here? But it's so scattershot. It's it's mostly just amusing to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it was. Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Michael, you think it's just an excuse.

[Jack Armstrong]

For people to get together. Yeah, that's something. That's part of it. We hate Trump getting together with the other people who don't like Trump and, you know, it really energizes them and makes you feel like you did something. Yeah, I had not thought about that because I was taking it in as just a. Basically an anti Trump protest. But yeah, you couldn't tell from the signage as I drove through that. What, like any particular issue. It's not like when it was the Iraq war protests or something. It was a very specific thing.

[Joe Getty]

I think you glossed over Michael's genius analysis there, that on the left, which tends to be a little more emotional and a little more social, it's about, as we've talked about through the years, it's about approval as opposed to truth. If you have an opinion that's greeted with a great deal of approval, that's what you are seeking. If you're of that mindset, as opposed to like a careful analysis of if it makes sense or not, you don't even care. And so this is a giant orgy of approving of each other and saying, look, we're all together. And doesn't this feel good? And by the way, it feels really righteous because I remember the civil rights movement and people demonstrating and all, and it's, it's just a giant ego fest. It's. It's political masturbation. Sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

Protests are so overrated.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, they're just.

[Jack Armstrong]

They don't do anything. And because it happened once when everybody got all energized around the civil rights, which is as righteous a cause as you could ever have in our nation's history. And, you know, and who knows how much the protests had to do with that. I think Lyndon Johnson was hell bent, based on my reading, to get this done anyway. But protests are so overrated.

[Joe Getty]

I would agree. Yeah. Organizing is a lot, a lot better use of your time.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Okay. Whoopty doo.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, this was the biggest protest in the last 50 years. Almost certainly. Tell me by Tuesday noon, what the hell it accomplished, what minds it changed, what legislation it spawned.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really.

[Joe Getty]

Anything other than hot dog sales, I'd imagine there was a fairly good day for, you know, concessions.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

At these sites. Other than that, nothing. It's just silly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. And well, and then where I am, the weather was gorgeous. So it was just like, it was a party. It was like a good time. It's something to do. It's like you, if you were going to the football game, similar, similar sort of thing. You see friends and hang out. And while that was fun, right.

[Joe Getty]

Why would people get together, wear the same color jersey, and yell and scream and high five each other just because their cities rented millionaires were having a good game? Because it feels good to be part of a tribe of a group. And folks on the left tend to be really, really driven by that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Speaking of rented millionaires, I'm wearing my Dodgers hat today. I'm not even going to call it a Dodgers hat anymore. I bought this at Dodger Stadium. My son and I were there this summer. We saw Shohei Ohtani hit a home run. Shohei Ohtani, Friday. If you don't follow baseball, he's a pitcher and a hitter. He batted three times. He hit three home runs. He pitched six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts as the starting pitcher. That is. Many people are calling the greatest performance by any single player in the history of a game that has been going for 150 years.

[Joe Getty]

People who say that are correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is absolutely amazing. And the fact that it was in a, you know, send them to the World Series, it's not like it was the middle of July in a meaningless game. So just incredible.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, he's superhuman.

[Jack Armstrong]

Three for three, home run, strikes out 10. Shut out the their opponent for six innings. That's just.

[Joe Getty]

What is he the largest man ever in Japan, by the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Very big guy.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, the Japanese people are not known for being, you know, physically imposing. He looks to be enormous.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, he is. And he's so smooth. He's just one of those guys. Just the way he walks and everything is just like, very, very coordinated, more than the average.

[Joe Getty]

Love is in the air. Michael. Huh?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's getting the same feeling.

[Joe Getty]

Smooth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Graceful, maybe that's the better word.

[Joe Getty]

Well, hey, you know, however you like your men. That's none of my business.

[Jack Armstrong]

Grace was a little less homoerotic than smooth.

[Joe Getty]

The two. You go for your Brazilians together or what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow, that's funny. That's funny. All right, we should start the show officially.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, October 20, year 2025, where Armstrong and Giddy and we approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Hang on a second. Looking around, just making sure. Yeah, no freaking kings in here because I'm against that. All right, here we go. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show and indeed the week starts officially at Mark Trump's a. Yeah. Why is That. I don't know. He's just. We don't like him. That's the word around here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Any.

[Joe Getty]

Any particular reason why you don't like him?

[Jack Armstrong]

No clue at all.

[Joe Getty]

I'm just going with everybody else saying, there you go. Who's with me?

[Jack Armstrong]

Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd. Yep.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I. I understand there are things you could complain about Trump doing that are certainly authoritarian. Ish. Whether.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I've got a list of complaints.

[Jack Armstrong]

Whether it's tariffs or blowing up boats or whatever. You know, some of the immigration stuff. But remember when Joe Biden was going around Supreme Court said I couldn't do away with those college loans, but I did it anyway? And the crowd would cheer that he had ignored the Supreme Court, which he didn't actually, but he liked pretending he did. Do you remember the last couple of days of his administration where he tweeted out that the Equal Rights Amendment was now part of the Constitution? Do you remember that? Right. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Nobody cared then.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was a king move of any kind. All right, whatever. Knock yourselves out. Enjoy yourselves.

[Joe Getty]

I've decided.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just can't take that anymore. That whole thing. It's just. It's tiring.

[Joe Getty]

It's so tight to laugh.

[Jack Armstrong]

It is to laugh. And not smooth enough for me.

[Joe Getty]

I like things smooth. Boy. Got a little stubble there going on. Smooth it up for Mr. Armstrong.

[Jack Armstrong]

I came across a study over the weekend of a woman writing a column about what happened to men. What's going on with men? Why can't we date men? And there's some interesting statistics in there. And this female columnist, both blaming men for some of their decisions and blaming women for driving men into some of these decisions that I thought was fantastic.

[Joe Getty]

There is real momentum around the idea of coming to grips with the feminization of American society. I read a fascinating piece over the weekend that a number of folks recommended. I'm gonna edit it because it's long and get it ready for air, but it is absolutely thought provoking. And it's not like there's something wrong with being feminine or women. It's a question of balance, and we are way the hell out of balance. Speaking of being Al, but we don't want to deny the feminine Katie Green her time. So I'm going to step aside.

[Jack Armstrong]

We've got Katie's headlines on the way. You have any thoughts? Our text line 415295 KFTC.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bones Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this out. So how did Ashes come together?

[Diplo]

Diploma well, I kind of briefly met Bailey, I think at Morgan's show, one of them. And I think he's just the guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell and I had a new kind of sound I wanted to do and I think he's the one guy that could carry it. And I came to his house, I had a show, I pulled up real quick, he was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus and we had like three hours play the record for him. We kind of like got a scratch and then he handled it on his own on the road.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Yeah, it was really cool. He really just like randomly showed up to my house and I'm like, oh, hey Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. And then now we're here playing it live.

[Bobby Bones]

You can listen to the full episode out now, wherever you get your podcast. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade hybrid.

[NFL Announcer]

The NFL International Games continue on NFL Network. And here our stars come out in the morning.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's go.

[NFL Announcer]

Week 10, Bajon Robinson and the Falcons take on Daniel Jones and the Colts in Berlin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fireworks in the fourth quarter.

[NFL Announcer]

Then in week 11, Jaden Daniels and the Commanders face Tua and the Dolphins in Madrid.

[Joe Getty]

Snooze off.

[NFL Announcer]

Game on. It's Sunday morning Football continues November 9th at 9:30 Eastern only on NFL Network.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we ought to check in on the old ceasefire to do that a little bit later. And some things Trump said on the plane last night.

[Joe Getty]

You know, the.

[Jack Armstrong]

I somehow I missed this story over the weekend. Financial Times reporting that Trump and Zelinsky were screaming each other in the Oval Office on Friday.

[Joe Getty]

Really? I hadn't heard that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hadn't heard that either till today. But that did not go well, apparently. Well, I don't know, there might have.

[Joe Getty]

Been a heated moment. Well, Trump said back to brotherly love.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump backed off the Tomahawks thing after talking to Putin and screamed at Zielinski. So that looks like the way it went down, boy.

[Joe Getty]

What is going on?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know what's going on.

[Joe Getty]

All right, more on that to come. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie, hit it. Alrighty, guys. Starting with ABC dc, widespread Internet outage reported as Amazon Web Services works on the issue. Yeah, a lot of your super giant sites were down I guess in the wee hours. Are they still working on it still? Yeah, they're still work. There's a couple glitches still going on with some of these websites. I've been checking them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is it hackers, Chinese hackers, or is it just some sort of dumb you forgot to update or something or other?

[Joe Getty]

Amazon itself. Gotcha. That's the President's theory. I just chose this because it was hilarious. From cnn, Trump's response to no Kings marches only proved the protesters point. Did you see the video he sent out? Hilarious.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God. They played it on the news last night. He's a, he's a fighter pilot in a plane, flying a plane over the no Kings protesters dropping poo on them.

[Joe Getty]

And wearing a crown. The jet says Trump. King Trump. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wearing a crown. Yeah. Right.

[Joe Getty]

From Fox News, FBI investigates hunting stand with sight line to Trump's Air Force One exit area at Palm Beach Airport.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's troubling. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know how good the hunting is down there in Palm Beach. I mean.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, they got a lot of prize.

[Joe Getty]

Bucks running around through the woods.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, even if it, even if they.

[Joe Getty]

Did.

[Jack Armstrong]

They called it suspicious. I think it's beyond suspicious. Yeah, I think we know what they were up to. That's a big deal.

[Joe Getty]

That's crazy. Yeah, scary. Good Lord, can you imagine?

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, we discussed this plenty when.

[Joe Getty]

He was almost assassinated during the election.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you imagine what that would do this country? Anybody. If you're a lefty and you think that that would help the country in any way, you are wrong.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, Lord. From CBS News, Israel launches retaliatory strikes in Gaza after saying Hamas targeted its forces, killing two IDF soldiers. Virtually every story I've seen in the Bigfoot media has been phrased in that very way. Israel fires at Hamas claiming blah, blah, blah, where is Hamas violates ceasefire and Israel, you know, shoots at him.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I was saying.

[Joe Getty]

Which is everybody's description of what happened, unless you're like a super pro Palestinian activist.

[Jack Armstrong]

Even the Washington Post and New York Times, though, are mostly blaming Hamas. So that's good in there. In the text of their writing from.

[Joe Getty]

The Wall Street Journal, Trump turning up the heat on Latin America. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's an interesting front. Oh, speaking of the Journal, they had a really, really interesting piece about how China came to have such a stranglehold over the rare earth stuff. We need so much. We can talk about that maybe an hour or two do. Because it presents a really interesting dilemma to a free society like ours. From study finds detached retinas, fractured sockets, pickleball eye injuries soar along sports popularity.

[Jack Armstrong]

And this is just all of a sudden, pickleball's been hot for quite a few years. Just all of a sudden a lot of people got whacked in the eye in the last week.

[Joe Getty]

All of a sudden, I like my retina. I was afraid of. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's exactly why Michael didn't play detached.

[Joe Getty]

Retinas and finally, this one from the Babylon Bee, John Bolton's mustache agrees to testify against him in exchange for immunity.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good story. So when I see oldsters at a place where I lift weights playing pickleball, ain't nobody getting their eyes detached from those hits. I mean, they're kind of barely lobbing it back and forth across the net.

[Joe Getty]

Sounds like an editor said, hey, pickleball's really hot. Give me an angle on pickleball story. I don't know what it is. Tie into it, make it dramatic. Yeah, scary is always good. People getting hurt.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump commented on the ceasefire and whether it's still holding or not, among other things, we can talk about coming up. So stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bone Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this out. So how did Ashes come together, Diplo?

[Diplo]

Well, I kind of briefly met Bailey, I think at Morgan's show, one of them. And I think he's just a guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell. And I had a new kind of sound I wanted to do and I think he's the one guy that could carry it. And I came to his house, I had a show, I pulled up real quick, he was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we had like three hours play the record for him. We kind of like got a scratch and then he handled it on his own on the road.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Yeah, it was really cool. He really just like randomly showed up to my house and like, oh, hey Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. And then now we're here playing it live.

[Bobby Bones]

You can listen to the full episode out now, wherever you get your podcasts. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade hybrid.

[NFL Announcer]

The NFL International Games continue on NFL Network and here our stars come out in the morning.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's go.

[NFL Announcer]

Week 10 Bajon roll Robinson and the Falcons take on Daniel Jones and the Colts in Berlin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fireworks in the fourth quarter.

[NFL Announcer]

Then in week 11 Jaden Daniels and the commanders touchdown once again. Face Tua and the Dolphins in Madrid.

[Joe Getty]

Snooze off.

[NFL Announcer]

Game on. It's Sunday morning Football continues November 9th at 9:30 Eastern only on NFL Network.

[Joe Getty]

Mr. President, is the ceasefire going to hold? Are you confident the ceasefire will hold?

[Jack Armstrong]

Say it.

[Joe Getty]

Are you confident that the ceasefire is going to hold?

[Jack Armstrong]

I think so. I think it's going to hold. I think people are a lot of reasons why it's going to hold, but I think people are tired of it. It's been spent centuries, okay? Not just recent. It's been centuries.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

I think people are tired of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, the ceasefire is going to hold. And why are they even talking about whether the ceasefire basically announced a Week ago is going to hold. Here's a news report on that from the weekend in case you weren't paying attention. Israel carrying out a number of airstrikes across Gaza and they also cut off aid to the enclave, but have since reversed that decision. But Prime Minister Netanyahu had already threatened to cut off aid until all of the hostage bodies are returned. Israeli officials saying this was retaliation for Hamas violating the ceasefire agreement over the weekend. Two Israeli soldiers were killed when Hamas fighters attacked their position along the yellow line, that area where they have partially withdrawn. Now Hamas says they have been going after criminal gang and that the allegation that they're violating the ceasefire agreement is a false pretext for Israel to resume its heavy bombardment. Both sides are accusing the others of violating the agreement. But I think, and to me the smart people on both sides are recognizing these are dead end or Hamas soldiers out there that aren't being directed by someone higher up as part of a movement. They're just, well, they're nihilist nutjob Islamists.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. Who killed a couple of children. Factions and sub factions of all of these organizations that we've heard about through the years. But yeah, the leopard will not change its spots. The idea that there's some enduring peace right now is practically fantasy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really interesting. I feel like it's stronger than you do. The Washington Post editorial board. The Gaza ceasefire is cracking. Hamas is to blame. Terrorist brutality risks igniting a Palestinian civil war. So the food aid got cut off. Israel bombed the crap out of Gaza after two of their soldiers got killed. But Trump said the ceasefire is holding both sides. Let me get the quote from the New York Times because I thought that was pretty good. I don't know if I can find it or not, but it was basically the Both sides say they are committed to the ceasefire holding.

[Joe Getty]

But do the spokespeople for Hamas speak for the rank and file? That's, that's the disconnect here. I don't think they do anymore.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I don't think there's enough rank and file left to make a difference. So that is basically what the Washington Post editorial board goes into, is that there is not much Hamas left. Hamas is so weak right now that it faces challenges to its control of Gaza and is trying to hang on to power as it has for many, many years. All revolutions eventually consume themselves. Unfortunately for miserable Palestinians of Gaza, Hamas is not quite yet in its final death throes. But they are coming. Who knows what the next two weeks will look like. The problem with stuff like, this is, you know, you get one bad, really bad incident that gets everybody completely fired up again, and then all hell could break it loose. I hope that doesn't happen just because.

[Joe Getty]

Who's the everybody in this scenario? Do you mean, like, Palestinian?

[Jack Armstrong]

The. The average Palestinian? Yeah, yeah. If the average Palestinian thought that, wow, Israel doesn't mean it, or whatever.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, I. You know, how long the death throws last is the question, I guess that there's some disagreement on. I. I see no reason for real optimism.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Netanyahu has got his highest approval rating. He's had in forever after the hostages have been returned, and his party is dominant according to the latest polls. So that's an interesting result. Yeah, and we'll see where this goes. Oh, J.D. vance is gonna arrive in the region tomorrow and is planning to be there all week long in an attempt to get the ceasefire to hold. I don't know if you saw 60 Minutes last night, but their lead story was with Jared Kushner and Witkoff, the two main architects of the ceasefire. And I thought some of the conversations were really interesting. For instance, this.

[Joe Getty]

I heard the President asked you what the chances were for success.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

And you said, 100%.

[Jack Armstrong]

And he said, why do you feel so confident?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I said, well, we can't afford to fail.

[Joe Getty]

We just kept on thinking to ourselves, this finish line, this finish line is about saving lives.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that's Jared Kushner and witkoff there in 60 minutes. I got a comment on. On this, but here's a little more from the report. We wanted the hostages to come out. We wanted a real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a way to bring humanitarian aid into the people. And then we had to write all.

[Joe Getty]

These complex words to deal with the 50 years of stupid word games that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everyone in that region is so used to playing. Both sides wanted the objective, and we just need to find a way to.

[Joe Getty]

Help everyone get there.

[Jack Armstrong]

The stupid word games. I talked about that a couple months ago when I was reading a book about the peace accord under Carter back in the late 70s, and how they would have all these arguments over, like, one dumb word, and they'd put it in. They'd have the. This word in this agreement and change the word slightly in this agreement so that they both could sign off for it, for their people and stuff like that. And that's what Jared Kushner was talking about, trying to get past these stupid word games they've been playing for half a century on these peace deals. But the thing I took away from well, two things. One, 60 minutes leading with that story, treating them like adults and like, wow, this is amazing. What you pulled off, I think, is the Barry Weiss, Paramount, 60 Minutes. But two, it reminded me of when Bret Bear and Fox had the Doge team on. After all the stuff you heard about the crazy Doge people, then you saw him actually interviewed and you thought, well, these are really serious, smart people.

[Joe Getty]

That's why we heard for weeks that they were stone teenagers who just like to play around on computers and now they've been turned loose in the government. No, they're brilliant guys.

[Jack Armstrong]

The way Witkoff and Jared Kushner are presented in your mainstream or left leaning media as just corrupt, crazy people with no experience and nepo. Blah, blah, blah. And they were. They came off as really, really very serious. Very smart people who worked on this deal and were able to pull it off. Good for 60 Minutes for doing that story.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Second story was like super critical of the Trump administration, wasn't it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Very.

[Joe Getty]

There was some really good football on, so I didn't get to get to that. And baseball.

[Jack Armstrong]

How about the Broncos scoring 33 points in the four quarter yesterday?

[Joe Getty]

Do that in the first three quarters.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or to. To the Giants, the game is four quarters long. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Game. Speaking of sports, game seven tonight.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

The Mariners and Blue Jays. Oh, Seattle fans rooting for you. They've never been to the World Series. The Mariners, they win tonight. They're going.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good story.

[Joe Getty]

But sympathize with the good folks of Seattle. They're not, you know, chucking firebombs at cops.

[Jack Armstrong]

Upstart Blue Jays, something too. They're underdogs. Yeah, either one of those teams, they're the exact opposite of the Colossus Dodgers. Did you see what the Dodgers manager said on Fry Friday after they swept their way into the World Series?

[Joe Getty]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

What about critics who say you bought a World series by spending $400 million way more than any other team, and you said, yeah, well, we're really going to prov. That's true. By sweeping in the World Series too.

[Joe Getty]

And everybody cheered like crazy. Unashamed, unabashed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. Well, why would you be ashamed? I mean, what am I supposed to do? I manage the team. They got me all the best players. Cool.

[Joe Getty]

What do you want me to do? Lose just to make you feel better.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or set someone on the bench or what? What the hell?

[Joe Getty]

All right, this. What's good money after bad, bad money.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is different.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, we spent the money, so we want to get our money's worth. Yeah, we're going to whoop a little ours. A friend of mine who's in sports financing pointed out that the Dodgers pitching staff is a higher payroll than two major league teams.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. That's pretty impressive.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, we have breaking news. Before we take a break, the Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke pot can legally own guns. I didn't know that was on the table. Is that question.

[Joe Getty]

There are pretty. A couple of pretty big pot stories in my bullpen of news.

[Jack Armstrong]

The answer has got clearly yes, now that marijuana is legal practically everywhere, isn't it? I mean, because you can drink beer and own a gun, but what if.

[Joe Getty]

They get all stoned up on their marijuanas, carry their gun around, shooting off.

[Jack Armstrong]

Their guns like potheads do?

[Joe Getty]

Right, Right. Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wonder how they define regularly. That's a good question right there. The Supreme Court's gonna have to. Clarence Thomas will have to speak up. Define regularly.

[Joe Getty]

If you don't take every third day off, no gun for you. This is an odd case. You're gonna take it on, huh?

[Jack Armstrong]

I just get high on the weekends. You can have a gun. I get high every day that ends in y. No gun.

[Joe Getty]

I do like my gummies. No gun.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, we got the mailbag and a whole bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

I blew it all last week I was trying to establish this new thing where I do a dumb joke right before Katie's headlines and I forgot it today.

[Joe Getty]

I was sad.

[Jack Armstrong]

My girlfriend recently dumped me. She said I was unamerican. I saw it coming from a kilometer away.

[Joe Getty]

Last week I did your, your, your combo chicken crossing the road. Knock knock one to my wife yesterday.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good joke.

[Joe Getty]

Out. Yeah. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. This is a great one sent along by alert listener Ian. It is from Maria Karina Machado, the Venezuelan liberty proponent who's been standing up against Maduro and won the Nobel Prize. Oh, by the way, Ms. Machado was called a far right wing activist by NPR who prior to the Nobel Prize was trying to portray her as some sort of fascist monster who. How dare she stand up against the kind and just Maduro regime. They really are too far gone to save. But here's what she said. Do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously. Defend it fiercely. Because freedom is not just an American promise, it is the hope of the world.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's pretty good.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. I put up and you know I like to. You rarely have the word sexy in a freedom loving quote of the day. But, but I like her. It's. It's seductive. Socialism is one of the greatest scams ever concocted. Mailbag.

[Jack Armstrong]

I put a post it note on my mirror to remind myself do not go boating off the coast of Venezuela and just put a post it note there.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. You get preoccupied. You're thinking about something else. You're going along in your speedboat with two giant engines and well, kur bloy. Drop us a note mailbag at Armstrong.

[Jack Armstrong]

You get either.

[Joe Getty]

This is a nice note from Dave. Good, good early morning. Fine gentleman and Katie, couple of musings from the People's Republic of Davis, California. Here's something that's always bothered me about the trans movement. The whole premise is that your identity is separate from your body. You have a female body. That is irrelevant if you identify as a male, for instance. Okay, got it. But if your identity is separate from your physical presence, why do you need to go through such machinations like surgery and drugs to make yourself look like that which you say doesn't define you.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is confusing. That is confusing.

[Joe Getty]

Then he throws in also Joe. What do you tell a radio talk show host who has two black eyes? Nothing. You've already told him twice. And it's an unfortunate variation. An unfortunate joke. Yes, yes. Not appropriate at all. Dave and Davis, let's see, what else? Oh, let's see. Aaron, who is recovering from surgery and is ranting about Netflix, among other things. And he lists several complaints that he says, and furthermore, everything is gay. Gay to the max. Max gay. My kids can't watch this year's Halloween baking challenge shows because they're so frickin gay. Daddy, why does that man act like a lady? Daddy, why does he have a rainbow beard? He says, I'm stuck in bed recovering from spine surgery. So this media hatred is all extra relevant for me right now. Oh, we wish you a speedy recovery. Recovery. Moving along. A great example of progressivism. Joshua, it's been years since you've covered this topic. Not quite, but anyway. He says, I was down in La Jolla, California this past week. What a beautiful part of the world that is. Went to a restaurant which had no bathroom for anyone. Of course the guy said, we can't let anyone use their bathrooms because the building is old, not up to ADA code. And there is a guy in a wheelchair suing all the businesses on their street trip because of it. The wheelchair Nazis ride again. Stupid people ruin everything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Between wheelchair Nazis and the homeless situation, the idea of public restrooms have just gone away.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. Bums and junkies washing their. Their junk in the Starbucks sink causing the downfall of America. That's disgusting. It's time for plain talk. None of your dancing around the topic. See, moving along.

[Jack Armstrong]

God, I saw it coming from a kilometer away.

[Joe Getty]

You see, it's just not good. Oh. In the wake of the no Kings rally, which I want to talk about more next hour. The most impactful thing you can do today. Look at that. It's an email from Team DNC to us. Jack, Team Election day is just weeks away on November 4th. What? That's an off off your election. What kind of America do you want to wake up to on November 5th? Donald Trump will be hoping for good news. He wants to flip the New Jersey Governor's mansion. He wants California's ridiculous amendment to fail. He wants MAGA Republicans to take control of Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Here at the dnc, we don't plan on letting that happen. But team, we need your help. And here's the most impactful thing you can do. Send the money.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of course.

[Joe Getty]

That's contribution.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the big Prop 50 in California redistricting, trying to take on Texas thing. We'll see how that turn.

[Joe Getty]

We had got a note from a person in the Know who said the no. 150 people have canceled all their ads. It's going to pass that California will become even more blue.

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Joe Getty]

That's how they interpreted that behind the scenes. So the most recent attest to its veracity.

[Jack Armstrong]

The most recent polling and there hasn't been a lot was like 2/3 of Californians were saying including 60% of Democrats were against it it. But the hatred of Trump has settled in.

[Joe Getty]

Well no, no. In an off off year election turnout is spectacularly low and they will turn out every single public employee union member and public employee adjacent union like the nurses for instance and they will vote for it and their internal polling says it'll pass.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which has nothing to do with what most Californians think because most Californians aren't going to vote vote.

[Joe Getty]

Correct?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. It's the A concentrated special interest wins lots of elections over a generalized general interest because the generalized general interest hasn't been given marching orders to show up that they know they have to do anyway. That's why California is so corrupt. Anyway, let's move on from that. Let's see CA expat Happy in Idaho writes and this is delightful guys. The topic last week about dressing dead bodies and the sounds they can make brought back a memory. I retired from a large fire department one day we had a call for a well being check. We found the subject slumped over a chair with the needle still in her arm and obviously dead from an od. While waiting for the coroner my boss said to sit the subject up and when I did, the sound of air escaping the body let out a very loud moan which scared the crap out of me. And the other new guy I'm sure laughed his ass off.

[Diplo]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

That would freak you out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Ah, the lighter side of drug ODs. See, do we have time for that? It's pretty serious. This is an interesting question though from a confused Jim. Guys, I don't understand your position on the race to the bottom. When it comes to one side prosecuting the other, lawfare and similar topics. For years it's only been one side and as soon as the other side does it, we're in a race to the bottom. One side can't just continue sitting on their hands while the other gets away with attacking the other. At some point one side will stop because they know the other will just do the same. But having one side sitting on their hands, it will continue.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think that's a pretty generous reading that both sides do where they think the other side's always done it. We've never fought back. We're finally going to. That's just not accurate. I just don't think that's accurate. We've been tit for tat. One rung on the ladder going downhill, both sides in terms of breaking norms for a very long time.

[Joe Getty]

I think this speed of the downward slide is increased.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, no kidding.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Norms. What norms? Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Where does it end? Probably nowhere good.

[Joe Getty]

So how did China get a stranglehold on the rare earths? And what can we do about it as a country? It's going to take a little bit of creativity and departing from some of.

[Jack Armstrong]

Our principles and men have just decided I ain't dating any of y' all the heterosexual men. Why is that an interesting column? About that we'll get to at some point. If you missed a segment, get the.

[Diplo]

I pulled up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus and we had like three hours.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

It was really cool. He really just like randomly showed up to my house. I'm like, oh, hey Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay, you can.
