I already love same day deliver. Delivery was shipped but it's so much better since I signed up for Target's Circle 360. Why? Cause I no longer pay price markups from the majority of stores through Shipt. Only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. That means no markups on groceries, pet food, even home goods and makeup. So to recap, I have more time to catch up on life while someone shops for me and I spend less. It's a win win.

[Joe Getty]

From the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Yeti. Live. We're not here.

[Joe Getty]

It's the Armstrong and Getty replay. Did you see this story? This is while Tom Brady just revealed that his dog is a clone of his family's old dog.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then a second Tom Brady ran into.

[Joe Getty]

The room and yelled, don't listen to him.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's not the real Tom Brady. That's amazing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, many football teams, like the jets, for instance, are thinking, can we clone the owner of the dog? Is there any chance of that? That would actually be an interesting cloning. Although I'm against cloning humans to make the point about cloning. If you cloned Tom Brady, he would have the same genetics but a different brain. And probably a brain that doesn't decide to take a moderately athletic body at age 22 and turn it into something completely different, with an amount of work and dedication that has rarely been seen on planet Earth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well. And that Tom Brady Jr. Would not interact with Tom Brady's parents in the way that Tom did, nor his friends, nor that girl who gave him an admiring look after he threw his first touchdown pass or whatever.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

That. That shapes a person.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Anyway, Tom Brady cloned his dog, but he's invested heavily in this company that does that. So there you go. Please, I understand.

[Jack Armstrong]

So there's lots of dogs. Tom, you numbskull.

[Joe Getty]

First of all, not all the reporting has been good over this major announcement by the Transportation Secretary that they're going to cut 10% of flights at the 40. 40 airports that they haven't named. But as Joe said, they're probably going to be the 40 biggest airports. And I was listening to one newscaster. They said it could be hundreds of flights. No, no, no, no, no. They say it's going to be more like 4,500 flights canceled on Saturday, for instance. On Saturday? Just Saturday. 4,500 flights, not hundreds of flights. 4,500 flights on Saturday.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that is technically hundreds of flights. Yes, 4,500.

[Joe Getty]

But it does not sen. That is a what you need. Then we got this text because I said, man, it's really going to be. There's no way they allow this to go through Thanksgiving. We got this. There are millions of us working men and women who could give a GD about taking a flight over the holidays. It's just you whiny, small men like Jack who care about s like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

But, wow, I pity you, my friend. To have a pinched heart full of dark hatred like that. You. You have that attitude about family who don't see each other nearly often, as often as they'd like getting together for the holidays. That's. That's troubling.

[Joe Getty]

I think it was a pinched heart that killed Dick Cheney. A pinched heart. That's. I've never heard that term. That's a good one. I'm going to start using it. You and your pinched heart. Get out of here. Your bad attitude.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, you gotta pick your spots.

[Joe Getty]

But anyway, aside from just replying to.

[Jack Armstrong]

That'S gotta be trolling or somebody who's just profoundly unhapp. Seriously, sir, I will. I will pray for you and hope for your finding joy someday.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I wasn't going to get into this, but let me turn amateur therapist for a moment. My guess would be you've got a family dynamic that you wish was different for all kinds of. Of reasons that may or may not be any of your fault. And it makes you angry that other people put so much effort into getting together on Thanksgiving because we. We used to work with a guy whose dad left when he was a little kid and his take on Father's Day, that it was just a day to try to rub it in the face of people who don't have dads. It was like an angry, vengeful day is what Father's Day was. And I thought, God, that's horrible. And, you know, I can't really blame him. I didn't have that experience, thank God, of my dad walking out the door when I was two years old.

[Jack Armstrong]

But still, I mean, today's word is projection. Projection or projecting. Putting your psychology on somebody else. That's sad. That's too bad, right?

[Joe Getty]

And I guess. I'm guessing that's what's going on with this Thanksgiving thing here. But as I pointed out, with Joe coming with the fantastic word cascading, if you'll remember from past holiday flubs with the airlines and everything like that, even if people are just driving, there won't be a rental car. The roads will be absolutely packed, and people won't be able to get anywhere or Stay at a hotel while they're traveling, anything. Because it all just, it just all falls apart, the whole travel thing. And it's the busiest travel weekend of the flipping year whether you travel, sir. Or not.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. So. Right.

[Joe Getty]

Anyway.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I can. Yeah, you can't with somebody like that.

[Joe Getty]

I find it interesting though. Well.

[Jack Armstrong]

And while we're preoccupied trying to figure out what flight to take, the turkeys will flee into the woods not to be seen again. We'll be forced to eat, I don't know what, hamburgers or something terrible, awful.

[Joe Getty]

So the word of the year, if we're picking a word of the year based on the last 36 hours would be affordability. All of your pundits claiming that's why Democrats won and the Republicans talking about we need to start talking more about that and et cetera, et cetera. You know why? Because it's true. It is one of the biggest problems we've got going and it's in Covid. And then all these ridiculous bills we went and an inflation and we've never adjusted emotionally to the new prices. I know I haven't. I'm still shocked every time I go to the grocery store or go to a restaurant. I'm still surprised at the end by the bill.

[Jack Armstrong]

And they've risen much more rapidly than.

[Joe Getty]

Wages and, and everything is so expensive. Like they were using. The example I think is New Jersey, their energy prices had gone up 20% in the last year. Yeah, well, California were like, well, we'd love it if it were only 20%. So many things are so expensive, I think regularly. How would 25 year old me have survived? I'd probably have a couple of roommates and I don't know, maybe take the bus because I couldn't afford car insurance. It's just crazy. My son, my high school son last night was saying, I don't understand how I'm going to be able to move out when I'm 18. I just don't understand how I'm ever going to be able to afford it. And I said, well, you're 15, so we don't have to worry about that right now. But I wonder about that too. Car insurance is insane. Energy bills are insane. And of course rent and home prices are crazy. And one of the big numbers that came out yesterday that got so much attention that I wanted to talk about is the median age of a first time home buyer hit a record high 40 years old in the most recent survey.

[Annabe Sofas Advertiser]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Comparing that fairly recently TO it was 33 in 2021. It was 20.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wait, wait, wait. It's moved seven years in four years. That's practically impossible. That's crazy.

[Joe Getty]

Well, what was an interest rate in 20? 21. 2%.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, granted. Right.

[Joe Getty]

And again, it hit 40 average. The median age of first time homebuyer hit 40. It was 29 in 1981. That's how much it has changed now. And over the last year, first time homebuyers made up just 21% of purchases. That's the lowest it's ever been in terms of a percentage of people buying houses. First time homebuyers. Now there is the not just can you afford it or not? I'm a renter. I can afford to buy a house. I just thought it was a bad idea. A lot of people are doing that even younger where you, you, you know, you might have come to the legitimate conclusion that I'm better off renting right now than buying a house, even though I've got enough saved up I could buy a house or whatever. So that factors in somewhat, doesn't it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure, yeah. Yeah. The housing market is in a very weird spot, as we've talked about many times. It's, it's stuck. All the people who had crazy low interest rates on their mortgages can't give that up. They can't move up, they can't downsize. And then that, you know, clogs everything up as we've discussed.

[Joe Getty]

But major changes like this should get more attention and I guess that's what's happening over the last 36 hours with both parties realizing what's people's top issue. But you go from median home first time homebuyer, 29 when I was in high school to 40 now. That's a pretty big change in the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Structure of society, right? Yeah. And there are sociological causes too. Sure, I'm quite confident of that. I mean, you just look at the, the prolonged adolescence of a young adult.

[Joe Getty]

You got porn.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you do have porn. I, I hadn't thought of that. But. And, and also, and this is digging a bit deep, but I think we need to dig more to fundamental reasons than we do. Because I've been reading about this a lot and it's one of my top five or so jihads.

[Joe Getty]

The Joe's top five jihads.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll do that.

[Joe Getty]

We do that every Friday at 8.

[Jack Armstrong]

I ought to actually list them anyway. One of them is the idea of free range parenting and how. Just read a great, great think piece that I'll share with you at some point to parent better, parent less and how the style of parenting that has removed all risk, all failure, and learning to overcome failure, free play, decision making, just the whole free range parenting thing or free range child thing has contributed to people who do not do the things it takes to get ahead because they're still learning how to be an adult and at a much later age. But it all factors in. You can't just cite one thing.

[Joe Getty]

And you're much less likely to buy a house if you're not getting married and having kids.

[Jack Armstrong]

True.

[Joe Getty]

Much less likely. If your focus is I want to be a world traveler, so I want to have an apartment and travel around a lot, which is a lot of young people.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're not.

[Joe Getty]

You're putting your money into backpacking through Europe. You're not putting your money into a down payment on a house just right. As a priority. Yeah. And you get to do that as long as. As long as at some point you don't come to me and say, I need some of your money.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Or we need policies that will allow me to buy a house quickly in spite of my backpackings. So a couple of headlines really quickly to your point, about affordability being a great message. And my one big caveat about this is that it is yet another perversion of how we ought to look at life and government. That if the economy is good, we credit the president and his party, and if the economy is bad, the opposite. That's dumb. Go for the opposite president. What's that?

[Joe Getty]

That's dumba.

[Jack Armstrong]

It is dumba. And it's. It's. It's worse than dumba. Because we don't believe in silent letters. Because that excuse. First of all, the economy takes care of the economy. The government just screws it up with a handful of exceptions. Yes, I'm for reasonable regulations of the food industry and that sort of thing, reasonable ones. But once people get it into their head that if the economy's good, I will reward this party and if the economy's bad, I will reward the other party, they have made the assumption that the government ought to run the economy, which is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to do. You don't want that. Central planning sucks in words of a single syllable. Anyway, a handful of headlines I've assembled over just a few days. The average cost of a family health insurance plan is now $27,000 a year.

[Joe Getty]

Whoa.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe you don't, you know, pay it all, but somebody is. Maybe your employer does.

[Joe Getty]

Well, we all know what our deductible is. If you're old enough, you can compare it to what it used to be.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, indeed. I'm sorry. I've got so many tabs open. We'll get to it. Bear with me. Stand with me. The average. Oh, there it is. Runaway insurance costs bring back talk of price caps. Increasingly, insurers. We're talking about homeowners. And car insurance in both red and blue states are being told to cap prices as lawmakers come under pressure.

[Joe Getty]

Car insurance, at least where I live, is nuts. Armstrong and Getty Foreign. And Getty show. More than 30 years after the murders.

[Shipt Advertiser]

Of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, attorneys for O.J.

[Joe Getty]

Simpson'S estate finally agreeing to accept a nearly 58 million dollar claim from the Goldman family. Wow.

[Shipt Advertiser]

Damn.

[Joe Getty]

58 million. Course, O.J. is dead. I think Goldman going after his money all those years was to make O.J. miserable because he feels like O.J. got away with murdering his daughter.

[Jack Armstrong]

But son, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Or son.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sorry. Yeah. Goldman, yeah. Although the Brown family was after him, too. Yeah, that's interesting. How much money is there in the estate? I don't know. Coming up, Jonathan Martin, the dean of political writers at Politico, says Gavi Boy is the clear front runner for the presidency. Let's say it out loud. We'll share that terrifying information.

[Joe Getty]

Got his new book coming out soon. We got to tell you about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, good Lord. I wouldn't use it to line my parrot Cake.

[Joe Getty]

A young man in a hurry.

[Jack Armstrong]

Speaking of it, the Armstrong and Getty Superstore going strong. It's order now. Just in time for Christmas. Ruined the entire country. Newsom 2028. People are loving that T shirt. Both Cal Unicornians and those who dislike progressive mismanagement of our nation's affairs again, ruin the entire country. Newsom 2028. Oh, and the Armstrong and Getty Air Force blue stainless steel water bottle with heavy duty straw lid. Also excellent seller.

[Joe Getty]

Katie's wearing an Armstrong and Getty sweatshirt today. A hoodie, one of my favorites. That's great.

[Jack Armstrong]

So comfortable.

[Joe Getty]

So we were told by Hanson. You have a news headline for us. Is this true? Do you know anything about that? No. Okay. I didn't know if you were on board.

[Jack Armstrong]

Most important story of the day. He says I do. What is it? Better not be idiotic because I'm not in the mood.

[Joe Getty]

Because we do not like people just messing around saying weird crap. We do not tolerate Scary Michael headed. What? What is our story?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, it's got 24.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, there are 26 letters in the Alphabet, but one is just not getting enough love. Linguists say the letter T is Being dropped from words like kitten, mountain and interview coast to coast. And no one knows why, but they have named it. It's called T glottalization and it's a speech error that's happening mostly in the under 25 age range. That's interesting. My son does that and I have no idea. So it's. It's a.

[Jack Armstrong]

So annoying.

[Joe Getty]

It's. It's a. Well, you know, it's like up talk originally was highly annoying, but it's just so common now I don't even notice it. It's like everybody does it. So. Yeah, the drop in the T thing, my son has done that since he was younger, but I didn't realize maybe he picked that up from other youth.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, it's a Southern California thing. I think originally, like so many annoying speaking trends, whether the Valley girl, the up talk in general, now this. I happen to notice it from a couple of bands out of the LA area who like there's a one line was wait in. And I'm like, why did you say wait in instead of waiting?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, wait. I'm waiting for you. Executive producer Mike Hanson joins us. Hanson. Yeah. This, this has been a problem in our society for quite some time and it needs to come to an end. And it's not just the 20 somethings. This has crept up into people their late 30s and early 40s. It's taking over our society. I've been bothered by it for years. It needs to come to an end immediately. My children are being affected. I don't like it. Bring back the tea. You've noticed it in your kids? I've noticed that my kids, one of. One of our beloved colleagues, is the first person that started doing it. It was such a bother and I couldn't understand why. Are you dropping your teas?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, Mitten names off the air.

[Joe Getty]

Mitten. That's when my son. What are you doing? What's wrong with you? We have cats and he says, oh, it's a kitten. What? I've never said anything about it is so grating.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, good lord.

[Joe Getty]

What the hell?

[Jack Armstrong]

I want to hit them.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Okay. Well, it's not just my son. I thought, actually thought maybe he had like a speech impediment or something with his tongue or something.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kind of sounds like it, doesn't it? Yes. Stop it.

[Joe Getty]

The Armstrong and Getty show.

[Jack Armstrong]

The irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone. If President Trump was a king, the.

[Joe Getty]

Government would be open right now. If President Trump was a king, they would not have been able to engage.

[Jack Armstrong]

In that free speech exercise out on the mall, by the way, which was.

[Joe Getty]

Open because President Trump hasn't closed it.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I mean it's.

[Joe Getty]

They needed a stunt, they needed a show. Chuck Schumer has needs cover right now. He's closed the government down because he needs political cover and this was a part of it. That's a pretty decent point. I'd forgotten the shutdown was going on. Completely forgot, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, right. And if Trump was a king, he could also do something pretty quickly about our vulnerability to China in the whole world of rare earth materials. This is really an interesting quandary for a free society and people who prize the free markets. So as recently as 1991, the US led the world in the production of rare earth minerals, partly because we had a giant mine in California, Mountain Pass. But when China faked out the US and said we're just a poor developing country and I don't know, maybe communism isn't so great and maybe we could be friends and maybe if you help us build our economy, we'll become more like a democracy. Completely duped us for decades. Read Michael Pillsbury's the Hundred Year Marathon. It's brilliant, really describes it. But one of the things they did was they poured government money into their rare earth mining and refining operations. And then when anybody in the west like the US tried to compete, they dumped their, their goods, the supplies into the market. Just crushed the market. And so our companies went out of business or sold themselves to Chinese entities. And then China consolidated their hundreds of rare earth companies into a few super giant powerhouses that could work with the communist Chinese. And so even now as we're trying to resurrect our domestic rare earths industry, China is doing it's using all the levers a dictatorship can to try to crush that. And so the US is going to have to take a the US government. It's going to have to take probably a more and more activist role rather in fulfilling the goal to building up our domestic Capabilities. And, you know, Trump's already got big investments in various companies, whatever the hell that means. And we might have to get into these quasi public private partnerships that are really, really unhealthy for a system like ours. For reasons I could, you know, drone on and about. But the point is, when you have the government control billions and trillions of dollars worth of industry, then you get a situation where it's just asking for good governance that has anything to do with the needs of the people, forget it. There's too much money at stake.

[Joe Getty]

But you can't let your number one enemy control the entire supply. Clenandium or whatever rare earth metal is important.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because they could crash the stock market in a day.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

They could bring all of our car companies and most of our tech companies to their knees in a day if they were to announce, hey, by the way, you can't buy any of this stuff. Fu. Which is why China enacted some new restrictions. I'm not going to describe them because it's kind of technical and boring, but they essentially said, yeah, we're going to make it a lot harder for y' all to get this stuff. And Trump, that's when he responded with a hundred percent tariff on bunches of Chinese goods or all Chinese goods. I can't remember everything because that's. I mean, they have us by the, you know, use whatever descriptor you prefer. We are in a terribly vulnerable spot. So what do we do?

[Joe Getty]

The sack.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good one.

[Joe Getty]

They got us by the sack.

[Jack Armstrong]

The nards, the Nigels.

[Joe Getty]

Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

It's a little harsh. When I heard it come out of my mouth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. Perhaps a little restraint. I don't know. So one of the aspects of this that's so annoying to me. Well, two, them of them. Every time we in the past pre Trump, and for all my problems with Trump, he was the guy who said, china's screwing us. Why are we letting them? Anyway, every time past administrations would go to China and say, hey, y' all are dumping made up, made Uptonia into the market and you're killing us. And they would turn out their pockets and say, oh, we're a poor developing economy. You've got to let us do this for a while. Just till we're up on refugees our feet, then we'll compete fairly. Okay, China, so long as you promise us you're reforming. Oh, we're reforming, they would say. And so we just got caught with our pants down and now we're again incredibly vulnerable.

[Joe Getty]

And oh, the other aspect of China is a hole.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know what? Our guy is asleep at the switch. There he is. He was taking a smoke break. He smokes a lot. I'm worried about him. But one of the aspects of it that bothers me so much is and the whole woke environmental thing, and there's smart, reasonable environmentalism, then there's the Gavin Newsom woke crap. And what annoys me so much is we still use every bit as much oil, we still use every bit as much natural gas and every bit as much of these rare earth minerals. But we have third world countries mine it and refine it for us so we can tiptoe around in our white gloves and say, look how clean we are. We don't rape the environment by, by mining these materials. No, we just use them and let somebody who's way less concerned about the environment get them for us. That's the opposite of being an environmentalist, you flamin blanking hypocrites. So China, trust me, they know the hold they have over us and they're not going to let it go easily. And so what do we do as a government? I don't know, Jack, do you have the answer? We build up U S. Did you say it's a condom conundrum?

[Joe Getty]

No, why would I say it's a condom? It sounded like condom.

[Jack Armstrong]

You with your. Your idiotic adolescent joke.

[Joe Getty]

No, well, I didn't. I said it's conundrum, which is a perfectly grown.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you claim. So you claim. Anyway, it's a sophisticated term. Go to my doctor and get my ears de waxed again. Where was I? Oh, you know, Uncle Sam's Mining. Do we have a government controlled giant mining apparatus or do we actually have the government pick winners and losers and invest in giant companies that can get us back to self sufficiency? It's, it's a tough one.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

We painted ourselves into a strategic corner through the naivete of the past.

[Joe Getty]

And Trump's supposed to meet with President Xi at some point here soon, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. Our frenemies, the Chinese you might be.

[Joe Getty]

Meeting with, he might be meeting with Putin soon. They announced that last week and they're trying to put that together.

[Jack Armstrong]

Got to take a turn the screws on. Putin, Trump. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

If you can explain that to me, I'm interested. I'm hoping there's something behind the scenes we don't know about because the stuff that's on the face of it is he pressured the hell out of Zelensky over the weekend. He talked about it last night on the plane that Zelensky's got to give up the Donbass region. That's the Donetsk basin, Donbass. Big chunk of Ukraine that Russia has taken chunks of. And Trump really pressuring Zelensky to give up on that, saying no to the Tomahawk missiles. And when does he ever pressure Putin? Does that happen? And why not? He pressured Netanyahu. I mean, that's all the credit everybody gave him for making this amazing Middle east peace deals, that he pressured both sides. Does he pressure Putin ever?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, he. I think that's more to the point. It's much more. You know, the pressure on Netanyahu existed, but he exercised well. He enacted the policy that, all right, you've got an intransigent, you know, party to these negotiations.

[Joe Getty]

Put maximum pressure on him.

[Jack Armstrong]

Take out Fordo, let the Israelis drop a bomb in Dohar. You know, kill off Hezbollah, kill off Hamas, go into Gaza City. Maximum pressure. It's worked a couple of times now, but with Putin, it's kid gloves. And by the way, don't give me, well, he has nukes, World War Three, blah, blah, blah. You lost the right to make that argument. When Tucker Carlson said bombing the Fordo plant would lead to World War Three. Please. It led to a whimpering and. And just ballless Iran begging for mercy.

[Joe Getty]

I finished The Tucker Carlson fourth episode of the World Trade Center 911 documentary.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh. Oh, boy.

[Joe Getty]

Here's a hint. It's the Jews.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Joe Getty]

What was I gonna say about.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not the people who are swearing for decades that they would kill us and we know them by name and.

[Shipt Advertiser]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

That's something else I was going to say about Putin or whatever. So the Financial Times is reporting that. That Trump and Zelensky were shouting at each other in their Oval Office meeting on Friday. And when Trump finally decided, nah, not giving Tomahawks to you, why? I don't know. That seemed like that was the direction I was going. But anyway, Rand Paul was on one of the talk shows yesterday, and he said, people keep talking about sticks. How about carrots? We're hitting them with pretty hard sanctions right now. Why don't. What if we tell Russia we'll release all these sanctions if you end the war, which of course will be criticized by some as rewarding a completely illegal move of just attacking the country next to you and taking their land. But it would end the war. Could end the war.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, Got it. I don't think it would. It would not end Russian Aggression in any way. Not closet for appearances.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. You'd have to put some sort of peacekeeping forces in there. A trigger mechanism.

[Jack Armstrong]

Listen, would you take from that if.

[Joe Getty]

If you were Putin, I would get my ducks back in a row and take more land.

[Jack Armstrong]

Take Estonia. Yeah. The message is you push hard enough, the west backs down, gives you what you want.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, the reason I wasn't gonna.

[Jack Armstrong]

Give Johnny the candy, but he threw a tantrum. I'm sure it won't happen again. Please.

[Joe Getty]

Right, exactly. So similar to the Middle east is this the thing with Russia and Ukraine, who's going to be the international force that keeps things in place there in Gaza, who's going to put troops on the ground or whatever. And then that would be the day after situation. Russia, Ukraine, if you come to some sort of agreement, who's going to be the force that keeps the agreement? These questions have not been answered.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it still seems like it's thin ice to me. But we'll see there. There are twists in the road ahead. Everybody knew it.

[Joe Getty]

Brief version is because I want to be. I want to be helping Ukraine more. Very brief version is Trump was talking really tough about sending tomahawks and all these different things. Spent two hours on the phone with Putin and then seemed to flip completely back over to that side again. That's what it looked like to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Putin may be the greatest manipulator currently doing business on the planet or.

[Joe Getty]

Trump just really likes being his friend or something, and I'm not exactly sure what that is.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hope that's not the case. I suspect it may be. Yikes.

The Armstrong and Getty show. Okay, here we go. Tom Brady's Clone Dog the revelation from.

[Jack Armstrong]

Tom Brady about his family pet. The former NFL star says his new dog Juni is a clone of his previous dog, Lua, who died in 2023. Brady says he worked with a biotech company he has invested in to clone.

[Joe Getty]

His beloved pit bull mix using a.

Blood sample collecting kid while Lua was alive. First of all, it's a publicity stunt for this company he's invested in. Please.

[Joe Getty]

Your beloved family dog was a pit bull mix. You're freaking Tom Brady. What are you doing getting pit bull mixes for the family dog?

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, that was the last straw why Giselle dumped him.

[Joe Getty]

Could be. Anywho, Katie, you love your dog. Joe loves his dog. Michael's got cats. Yeah.

[Shipt Advertiser]

Hey.

[Joe Getty]

Hey. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

That was speciesist. Michael, I'm standing up for you. I'm not going to have this. This casual derision of your lifestyle choices.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not allowed to say Michael has cats. It was the way you said it. I didn't notice it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael has cats.

[Joe Getty]

How do we feel about the need to clone our dog? Because we like the current one so much now?

[Jack Armstrong]

No. Even you. I thought you might be stronger than idiotic.

[Joe Getty]

I thought you might be a yes on that, Katie.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now I. Because it's not the same dog.

[Joe Getty]

Ah, you are well read enough on this topic to realize yes, it is not the same dog. It will not behave the same. It's. Well, it's not the same dog, period. You don't even really need anything after that. It's not the same dog.

[Jack Armstrong]

But it's a particular source of self indulgent, more money than sense madness. And that's the one chink in the armor of my hero, Javier Milei. Didn't he clone his dog?

[Joe Getty]

Five. He's got five. He had a favorite dog and he's got five of exactly the same and no kids. So that is a weird thing about him. But anyway, I don't want to get hung up on that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Any port in a storm.

[Joe Getty]

So yeah. And Tom Brady's invested in this corporation that will do it. And from what I understand, I have no idea how true this is. Particularly among the wealthy. Cloning their beloved Foo Foo who passed away is a thing because you're stupid and think it's going to be the same dog.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a weird sort of conceit to think that Fufu was just so special. She was the most special dog ever. I mean, I've got to say that because I'm a rich person, I can't say, you know, the dogs are great. A dog's a dog.

[Joe Getty]

The next one will be as good.

[Jack Armstrong]

As this one probably. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, go save another dog at the shelter. Yeah, that's a good way mix. There's plenty of them.

[Joe Getty]

No kidding. Yeah, no kidding.

[Jack Armstrong]

How do you serve a 350 bottle of wine when there are plenty of 75 bottles that are everybody's good. It's the same answer to a different question. Just showing how rich you are.

[Joe Getty]

Gotcha. Yeah, no kidding. Particularly in Tom Brady's case. You need to pit bull mix. Go to your local shelter. Maybe not where he lives, but drive a little further outside of town from where you live and go to a shelter. There are lots of pit bull mixes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, plenty to choose from. Yeah. But that's part of the way I stay down. Earth is, though I am fabulously wealthy, I generally drink prison toilet pruno. I've got. Well, I've got my own, you know, pruno toilet that I use. We don't use it for anything but production of my prison style wine. It's not even multi again. It keeps me. It keeps me connected to you common people, you know, that reminds me, you're a. I'm joking.

[Joe Getty]

You're a fan. Speaking of being fancy, you're a fan of the bidet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yes, I am.

[Joe Getty]

And I. The house I moved into, it has a bidet in my bathroom and I.

[Jack Armstrong]

An actual bidet or like the seat. A bidet seat on top of your toilet?

[Joe Getty]

That one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

A bidet is a separate thing, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Formally speaking, I stayed in a European hotel and it had the separate thing and I never used it.

[Jack Armstrong]

And you gotta hop on over to use it. It's ridiculous.

[Joe Getty]

But I got the bidet thing that this is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Isn't that what most people get for.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, what's that exactly?

[Jack Armstrong]

[Joe Getty]

I'm afraid I'll like it. You won't be able to get me out of there. Yeah. So I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

I really.

[Joe Getty]

I just don't know how to use it and I don't know who I would ask.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you come into my toilet and.

[Joe Getty]

Show me how to use this?

[Jack Armstrong]

Just ask a neighbor. Ask Grok. Right. And have that record preserved forever. But what, what, what's your hesitance here to like ask the Internet or what brand is it?

[Joe Getty]

There's a number of knobs and buttons and I just don't know what I'm doing. You take a picture of it, send it to grok and say, how do.

[Jack Armstrong]

I use this thing?

[Joe Getty]

And I'm flipping 60 years old. I've lived my whole life without one and been fine. Although you say it's a penicillin.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm not using that to cure my infection. It's newfangled. I've lived 60 years old. Abscess. Abscess. They're talking about it. I not using no new fangled drugs.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, now comparing penicillin to a bidet, which is a apt comparison, of course.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, where were we? Well, so important stuff to discuss.

[Joe Getty]

Is it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Just.
