Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Terry Moran
Even the man that you picked out, he's got a piece said he wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked and on his knuckles he had MS.13.
Joe Getty
There's a dispute.
Terry Moran
Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had MS.13 on his knuckles. Oh, he had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
Jack Armstrong
But let's move on.
Terry Moran
Wait a minute. Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry. He did not have the letter MS.13. It says MS.13. That was photoshopped.
Morton Buildings Advertiser
So let me just.
Terry Moran
That was Photoshop. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay. And I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy.
Jack Armstrong
So that's Donald Trump. They ran that in primetime last night, like 8:00 in the evening on ABC. Terry Moran, who's their political reporter for ABC News, did the interview with Trump. I picked you. Frankly, I'd never heard of you. I had a point about the actual content of that, about the gang member, msa. They're talking about the dude that the Maryland man. Well, we'll hear more of it here. Here's a little more of the exchange.
Terry Moran
Well, the lawyer that said it was a mistake was here a long time. Was not appointed by us. Should not have said that. Should not have said that. And just so they understand the person that you're talking about, you know, you're making this person sound. This is a MS.13 gang member, a tough cookie, been in lots of skirmish, beat the hell out of his wife and the wife was petrified to even talk about him. Okay, this is not an innocent, wonderful gentleman from Maryland. I'm not saying he's a good guy. It's about the rule of law. The order from the Supreme Court stands, sir. Came into our country illegally. You could get him back. There's a phone on this desk. I Could, you could pick it up and with all the power of the presidency, you could call up the president of El Salvador and say, send him back right now. And if he were the gentleman that you say he is, I would do that. But the court has ordered you to facilitate that. I'm not the one making this decision. We have lawyers want to do this, the buck stops. No, no, no, no. I follow the law. You want me to follow the law. If I were the president that just wanted to do anything, I'd probably keep him right where he is.
Jack Armstrong
One of the more interesting things about Trump, it's always been true, is he's more comfortable in a contentious interview than anybody. Most people, they avoid them at all costs. And, you know, and if they, if they get one, they, they really try to make sure that doesn't happen again. He, he doesn't mind at all.
Joe Getty
Or they go heavy on the icy stare and how dare you.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
And Trump mixes a little bit that, a little bit of that in, but he's more than happy to mix it up.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So I think, unless you've heard differently, the. It was a Photoshop job on the knuckles of the, from the picture.
Joe Getty
I have not heard and I've read lots and lots about this guy that he had those tattoos on his knuckles. He was with Ms. 13 guys. He had tattoos that were popular among MSN Ms. 13 guys. He's wearing clothing that was popular. And gangs wear certain clothes. If you're not familiar with that, you haven't been paying much attention for a very long time. And he was ID'd by a trusted confidential informant that. Yeah, this guy's absolutely part of MS.13.
Jack Armstrong
They're eating. On the other hand, if they're eating the dogs, I think he got, I think he got hoodwinked by another, you know, online thing.
Joe Getty
Meow, meow, meow, meow. Right. But if the Supreme Court. You've got to, you got to comply with the Supreme Court orders, otherwise our system breaks down completely. And I just don't, I don't think this dude is a hill worth distracting us on. Let's, let's just say, hey, we're cooperating with the courts. No problem. Let's move along and deport another 5,000 people who have no right to be here. Well, and remove that as a talking point.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I agree. I don't, I think they shouldn't fight too hard on this. Get him back and then ship him somewhere else because he's going to get shipped out anyway. It's not like he's staying in the United States, huh?
Joe Getty
Send them to Mars or Columbia or. I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, I know. What I was gonna mention is I, I don't know who invented this. It's just been. In the last couple of years, this is a thing your major interviewers do now. They say something very controversial and then they say, but we've got to move on. No, no, no, no, no, no. You don't get to just. I say something, then you say that's not true. Say something else inflammatory and then say, but we've got to move on to the next topic.
Joe Getty
No, yeah, yeah, that, that technique.
Jack Armstrong
Who, who invented that? I think it might be Christian Walker on Meet the Press because I see her do it all the time. Well, studies have shown that's not true, but we've got to move on.
Joe Getty
No, wait a second, wait a minute. Yeah. You don't get to pronounce the argument.
Jack Armstrong
Over in your favor.
Joe Getty
Yeah, no kidding. It's so pathetic.
Jack Armstrong
I really liked this one. I thought this was Trump at his, his best. Trump, where he just, he talks in a way that politicians don't usually talk. I thought it made perfect sense. And well, you decide for yourself. This is about whether Pete Hegseth still has the confidence of the president needs to go.
Terry Moran
You said the other day that you had a talk with the secretary. Did you take him to the woodshed? I had a talk with. And whatever I said, I probably wouldn't be inclined to tell you, but we had a good talk. He's a talented guy. He's young, smart, highly educated, and I think he's going to be a very good defense. Hopefully a great defense secretary, but he'll be a very good defense secretary. You have 100% confidence in. I don't have 100% confidence in anything. Okay. Anything. Do I have 100%? It's a stupid question. Look, it's a pretty important position. No, no. You don't have a hundred percent. Only a liar would say, I have 100% confidence. I don't have 100% confidence that we're going to finish this interview.
Joe Getty
I thought that was fair point.
Jack Armstrong
I thought that was fantastic. Anybody who says they have 100% confidence in anything is a liar.
Joe Getty
Or just expressing an emotion.
Jack Armstrong
Right?
Morton Buildings Advertiser
Yeah.
Joe Getty
He's not wrong.
Jack Armstrong
You're just expressing directionally something. But it is a stupid question and it obviously designed to get you to say, you know, get on the record with a hundred percent confidence or you don't have full confidence, whatever.
Joe Getty
Well, and then having baited somebody into expressing a Ridiculous notion. I have 100% confidence. Then you say, well, what about this? What about that? That in any normal human being would cause a less than 100% level of confidence. And then you've got them, okay, I.
Jack Armstrong
Don'T have 100% confidence. We're gonna finish this interview. I thought that was fantastic.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. You know, Trump, for all of the aspects of his personality that drive me insane, has a very low setting for what am I supposed to say here? Which a lot of politicians, that's all they have. And so you never get anything out of them.
Jack Armstrong
He gave a long answer on tariffs. It's the exact same thing you've heard a hundred times. So there's no, really no reason to get into that. About how other countries have been ripping us off and that's going to come to an end. Maybe just this one more on what the pain is going to be. Clip 54 There, Michael.
Terry Moran
I said you're going to have a transition period. We've been ripped off by every country all over the world. They're laughing at us. They thought we were stupid people. And we were. And I said, that's not going to happen. We're not going to.
Jack Armstrong
Hard times.
Terry Moran
Hard times are ahead. I don't think so. I think times are ahead. Look, since I came in, gasoline is down, groceries are down, egg prices are down. Many things are down. Just about everything.
Jack Armstrong
The polling would show that people think they're already in some hard times and that hard times are coming.
Joe Getty
What's your best guess? He's playing chicken to get better trade deals and this all is over in a few weeks or not.
Jack Armstrong
I hope that is.
Joe Getty
I hope he's 100 confidence.
Jack Armstrong
He's been saying the same thing about tariffs his whole adult life. It's possible.
Joe Getty
Just. He's just wrong. Friends, I hate to be blunt because he's doing so many great things, I think, but he's just wrong about tariffs and how they work. It's possible that they're likely to have.
Jack Armstrong
It's possible that he's just really committed to this very outlier view of the way tariffs can work that practically nobody else agrees with. Yeah, I. So I, I hope that's not the case.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I hope it's a negotiating play. I was listening to a learned commentator who pointed out that all UF US tariffs, all of them going back to when Alex Hamilton was advocating for them way back in the day, have been implemented gradually and with lots of notice, so businesses could plan and sales could be adjusted and it wouldn't cause Shock and disruption. And that's the part of this that's really unprecedented. Just busting them out and announcing them. That's, that's kind of crazy.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and there's also the other point where he's, he, he seems to be taking advantage of two aspects of it that are contradictory. It's always about the tariffs are going to pay down the debt because this is how much money we're going to bring in every year from the tariffs. And then the other argument is they're going to, you know, we're going to get this worked out, that we're going to make a deal where it's more reciprocal, in which case they would become much, much lower. So you're not going to enjoy the financial benefit of these tariffs because you just stated that there's going to be at some point in negotiation, so you can't have both.
Joe Getty
And on the days that he says, no, no, they're, they're in place. We're going to bring back American manufacturing. Well, the purpose of those tariffs is to drastically reduce the level of imports. So that's going to drastically reduce the level of tariff revenue.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So just briefly on last night is a big speech of the rally he did in Michigan. And I couldn't be happier about the way he's taken on the culture wars and ti and men in sports and all. So many different things that are huge and nobody had the guts to do and everything like that. Like he opened with, here we are in Michigan. They're coming back. Countries all around the world, companies from all around the world are coming here to build cars again. I thought there's just zero evidence of that. Zero. Zero.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. Scott Besant. Besant. Besant said something interesting the other day that I thought was a giveaway. It was a wink at the markets and, and, and I think they appreciated hearing it, although today's been rocky. But, you know, it goes up, it goes down. But he said the president likes to create strategic uncertainty in negotiations. Well, I can't remember if he used the term chaos, but his meaning was clear. Yeah, the President likes everybody to wonder what the hell is going on. And so if we're all wondering what the hell is going on, that's a very Trumpian thing. So I have a fair level of hope that this will all settle fairly quickly and result in some pretty good productive trade deals. But I'm not. Again, like Trump himself, my certainty is sub 100%.
Jack Armstrong

Joe Getty
That's MortonBuildings.com I think this is beyond a sports story.
Jack Armstrong
I think it has greater applications, by.
Joe Getty
The way, coming up, it's creepy, it's terrifying and you might want to get it. It's a new AI app we'll tell you about. Cool segment. So, yeah, getting to the Shador Sanders story. The son of neon Dion Sanders touted to be perhaps the number one pick in NFL draft. It dropped way, way, way, way, way, way, way down to 144th or whatever it was.
Jack Armstrong
Fifth round.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, humiliation. But he was there, gathered with friends and family at the Sanders home, watching the tv, waiting for the phone to ring, waiting for his dreams to come true. Everybody really on tenter hooks because of his plunge in the draft. When the phone rang and it sounded something like this. This is Mickey Loomis here, GM of the Saints. How you doing? Good. How are you, man? Good. Been a long wait, man. No, for sure. Gonna take you with our next speed right here, man. Yeah. Yes, sir. Let's be legendary. But you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man. Okay. Sorry about that. What does that mean? Are you gonna ask us what it mean? And you was on the phone, you heard that? He said, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry about that. I don't know what that was. Nobody got this number though, man. He just got trolled, bro. They tripping now, fam. Now I'm getting crashed out, bro. So that was a prank call telling him he would be picked with the next pick and say, now you're gonna have to wait a little longer.
Jack Armstrong
Well, as we Talked about the other day, he I'm dying so I gotta get this thought out before I perish the non sports. Interesting part of this to me is don't let your youngster go into their interviews super, super cocky to where the boss thinks. I don't care if this kid is good enough to work at my place. I don't want them around. They're too freaking cocky.
Joe Getty
Yeah, if you're great, you don't have to tell anybody you're great. They'll figure it out.
Jack Armstrong
God, he went, he went into a couple of interviews and the more, more rumors are floating around where he just was like so cocky, like looking at his phone during the interview declaring he, you know, he was gonna take over the franchise and Stu, yeah, I'll make those decisions, you know that just. Oh, oh my God.
Joe Getty
Acting as if he was God's gift and the coaches were lucky to be talking to him. Just terrible. But anyway, so that prank call, awful. Really. I mean even if, if this kid is this Shador Sanders is young and, and, and brash and made a terrible strategic error, you know, he doesn't deserve that sort of emotional torture in my opinion. But anyway, so it turns out that voice on the other end of the line was the son of the Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff ulbricht. Jax Ulbricht, 21 year old son unintentionally, this according to the Falcons statement unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number of Shador Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parents home and wrote the number down later to conduct a prank call.
Morton Buildings Advertiser
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Now that's a prank call.
Joe Getty
Jeff Ulbricht, the D.C. as we say of the Falcons was unaware of the data exposure any facets of the frank and was made aware of this of the prank and was made aware of the above only after the fact. The Falcons do not condone this behavior and send our sincere apologies to your Sanders and his family who had been in contact with to apologize as well as facilitate an apology directly from Jax to the Sanders family. Mr. The young Mr. Ulbricht issued the following apology and I will ask you what you think of on Friday night. I made a tremendous mistake, Shador. What I did was completely inexcusable, embarrassing and shameful. I'm so sorry I took away from your moment. It was selfish and childish. I could never imagine getting ready to celebrate one of the greatest moments of your life and I made a terrible mistake and messed with that moment. Thank you for accepting my call earlier today. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me.
Jack Armstrong
That's a pretty good apology.
Joe Getty
That's an apology.
Jack Armstrong
That's pretty good. I think he actually wishes he hadn't done it.
Joe Getty
One of the aspects of the modern era that I actually despise is when some stupid kid and yeah, when you're 21, you're a kid. At least these days you are. When some stupid kid posts something stupid on Twitter or says something dumb, we act 10 years later that it exposes their entire character and we tear him down and cancel them. He's an idiot. He made an idiotic mistake. Let's move on.

Man, that most famous girl from the whole Epstein thing, the one that was there with Prince Andrew and she was like 17 years old, whatever, killed herself over the weekend. What a horrible story that is.
Joe Getty
Yeah, terrible.
Jack Armstrong
Dang it.
Joe Getty
Yeah, sad.
Jack Armstrong
Anyway, I have some more on that later. Perhaps the whole Epstein thing.
Joe Getty
Joanna Stern writes about tech for the Wall Street Journal. She's very clever, as you're about to hear, and sounds down to earth, and I enjoy her writing. The opening bit of this article tells it all. I've been wearing a wire everywhere since February. I've got all the transcripts. Important meetings, arguments with my kids, chats with disgruntled employees, late night bathroom routines. There's plenty more that I can't share if I want you to keep liking me. She has been willingly wearing a $50 Be Pioneer bracelet that records everything she says and uses AI to summarize her life and send her helpful reminders. Getting back to the article, I also tested two similar gadgets, the $199 limitless pendant and the $159 plaud note pin. These assistants can recall every dumb, private and cringe worthy thing that came out of my mouth. Is this the dawn of the AI surveillance state? Absolutely. Is it also the dream of hyper personal, all knowing AI assistants coming to life also? Yes, absolutely.
LifeLock Advertiser
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
It's funny. The first thing I thought of was and usually I'm I'm my first go to is surveillance state. But my first thought was, wow. If I had AI reminding me, hey, remember, you're gonna work on that, getting your real id. The deadline's coming up. I would love that.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And I was just gonna say, if y'all are sitting there thinking, what the hell good would this do me? She gets to that, and it's pretty cool. Let me read more of her piece. Within hours of wearing the BE again, one of the three devices she tried, I was blown away at how quickly it turned ramblings and random chatter into useful, actionable information. Yet allow me to quote myself from February 24th at 5:15pm wow. Quote, this bracelet is really effing creepy. So here's how they work. And she mentions that all the denials we've heard through the years that social media apps are secretly listening to us. Too hard, too intensive, too much data, blah, blah. Yeah, please. But all those devices do that. They detect dialogue, especially your voice, and they stream the audio to your phone via Bluetooth, then to company servers where it's transcribed. AI models take the transcription and generate summaries which appear in the apps within minutes. Now, one of the devices does not save the audio. All it has is the transcription. Um, the other one, limitless, keeps the audio, letting you play back full recordings of everything you've said.
Jack Armstrong
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. It's a little weird for us because I have full recordings of what I say four hours a day, five days a week for the past 30 years, but. So it's not as foreign to me, but why? That'd be something.
Joe Getty
But you. And I also have a heightened awareness of the difference between when the mics are on and when they're not.
Jack Armstrong
True.
Joe Getty
And more than one good career has been ended because a mic was on and somebody thought it was not.
Jack Armstrong
I've had a few disagreements.
Joe Getty
Dodge that bullet a couple of times ourselves.
Jack Armstrong
I've had a few disagreements in my life, like, minor to major. Where it would have been kind of handy to be able to go back and say, I'm pretty sure you didn't mention that to me. And they said, yeah, I did.
Joe Getty
It's like those great. The commercials. Who is it? An insurance commercial guy? I can't remember. Let's go to the tape. And they go under the hood, right? Like NFL referees.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Joe Getty
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
Katie. I. I'm just thinking this sounds like a wife's dream. The amount of times I'm like, I.
Joe Getty
Told you we have dinner tonight at 5. No, you didn't.
Jack Armstrong
Oh.
Joe Getty
Let'S go to the Tape. Let's go to the tape, sir.
Jack Armstrong
That's fantastic.
Joe Getty
Then she gets into some of the technical ups and downs and Katie, we'd love to have you comment on this to your heart's content, but. And. And she gets into. AI is nothing without data. It needs data. So when you feed it everything you've said for days, weeks and months, it gets infinitely more useful. Also, yes, it becomes a lot more like a Black Mirror episode, but we'll get into that. She writes with massive transcripts of your life. The AI in these apps can summarize. They recap your conversations, often reading, like a bad biography. This is great. The B Device summary from April 9, Joanna's Day, was a blend of familiar responsibilities and intense professional engagements. She ended the day listening to music. Music by Sting. Riveting stuff. Can't wait for the movie adaptation. Wow.
Jack Armstrong
There'd be some days. Excuse me. There'd be some days where you'd be a little disappointed in the summary. You worked. You came home, you scrolled through Twitter, you ate crap and went to bed.
Joe Getty
Oh, mind your own business, AI. Jack has eaten his 27th double Quarter Pounder this week.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for keeping track.
Joe Getty
Yeah, who's counting? I am. The transcriptions themselves aren't all that accurate, but the summaries usually are. Well, except for March 24 conversation with Johnnie Cochran about trial evidence. Yep, just a casual chat with a deceased celebrity lawyer. And she says in parentheses, I was watching the new OJ Documentary. That's funny. But, Jack, to your prescient point earlier, some of the ways that they're helpful is. Is summarizing things and. And reminders. Turns out I promise to do a lot of things without putting them on A to do list. B listens for action items and adds them lists because they understand the verbiage in an action item. It's repeatedly reminded me of important tasks like calling the plumber or following up on work stuff. But it also hilariously adds things I'd never put on a list. Like, quote, check in on your sick son or schedule a follow up with your hairstylist to discuss your haircut. Let's see. It analyzes.
Jack Armstrong
God, how great would that be? I'll bet this happens soon. And like a lot of things in life, we can't remember what it was like before it. Where. Where, you know, in 10 years. Remember when you. Like now. Where I often think, you know, I go somewhere and I think, how did I used to get to places? I don't even remember how I used to get to places. Did I pull out a map or how did I even do it?
Joe Getty
Ask friendly strangers, right?
Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah, sometimes you'd pull into a gas station and say, you know, I'm looking for the sporting goods store which I know is around here somewhere but I could see here in a coup couple of years would be like, do you remember when you used to have to remember things or write them down on a post it note instead of having AI tell me remember your son's got the volleyball game so you got to pick him up from school early.
Joe Getty
That sort of thing, Right? I can't be the only person assembled friends who is not great at making to do lists. And how many times have I said.
Jack Armstrong
Let me just think of it. Make to do list.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I won't bother, I'll remember it. I'll remember to make to do lists. How many times have I said when I think of it I don't have time and when I have time I don't think of it.
Jack Armstrong
Correct.
Joe Getty
Anyway, here's another thing. It does both BE and limitless have chatbots. You so you can ask about your recorded life. I asked B for a detailed breakdown of my cursing habits. Daily average 2.4. Curses, please. You're not even trying, sweetheart. But it can be.
Jack Armstrong
What are you, a nun? Yeah, 2.4 a day.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Well, it's impressive. Well, she has kids. Good for you. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah. What you're never in the car alone. Get out my blanking way.
Joe Getty
But then she says it can be genuinely helpful like quote, look through my chats with Ethan from B and tell me what AI model it uses. So reminders of factual things you heard in a conversation that are a little fuzzy now.
Jack Armstrong
God, I'm starting to think I might. So all of this surveillance stuff we've all opted in. We've all decided we're going to carry around a tracking device with us all time and we all know that. We just feel like the advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages. I think this might end up being true for recording everything I say that the advantages will outweigh the. You know how it could be misused. God, if you could quickly, you wouldn't even have to listen to the conversation. If I could go back through the transcript and it would say, yeah, your wife did tell you that you had dinner tonight at 5. Nah, crap or no, they didn't. It might be handy.
Joe Getty
Yeah. I tell you, I would describe myself and again I have a feeling I'm not unique in this is busy, well meaning and absent minded. And if my whatsits could say to me, hey, remember you agreed to play golf with Gordy tomorrow afternoon? I'd be like, oh, shoot. Right. Because, you know, that's one of my great weaknesses.
Jack Armstrong
You're built that way or you're not. It's so obvious because I get two kids that are completely different. Different. I got one kid that's very close to me on terms of that stuff. Kind of like you just described my other kid. It just. It's just all locked in his brain all the time. He knows where everything is. He knows what's on the schedule today. He knows. It just. It's all there all the time.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
But I can't. I can't try harder and be that way.
Joe Getty
Yeah. One of the reasons my wife and I have escaped financial ruin and other bad fates is she's meticulous. And so, you know, when she like pays a bill lay, it's alert the media, you know, it's just. What. Anyway, how they're creepy. February 23, 5:15. In a conversation with my mom. This bracelet has nothing to do with fitness. It records everything that's being said as her mom was asking her. Nobody I talked to over the past few months would have known I was recording them if I hadn't told them. Little fun. Like I'm a low budget Ethan Hunt. I don't. I don't get that reference. His wife. I'm sorry. Mostly though, I just felt like a creep.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
And depending on the state, I might have been breaking the law.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. That's the other side of this, all that conversation stuff. Both ends of it should be as into it as maybe I would be because otherwise you're recording all your friends. Conversations. That's. And family. That's pretty dicey.
Joe Getty
And then some of these are just hilarious because they have transcripts and summaries. Right. Of your various conversations. This one's labeled Interaction with pet dog. Browser. I think it's Bowser, but maybe it is. Browser. That's a very writer a thing to name your dog. Here's the transcript. Someone scolded browser for chewing something. Speaker 1 Browser, what are you doing? Speaker 1 Again, can you not chew your. Whatever. Speaker 1 Again. Browser.
Jack Armstrong
Transcripts.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Oh, that is some useful stuff. Most of my recordings were in New Jersey and New York, which are one party consent states and I'd agreed. But if I were in one of about a dozen states that require two party consent, I need permission from everyone in earshot or end up with a possible civil liability case.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that's. I don't know how that's gonna work in states where you got to have two party consent.
Joe Getty
And then she quotes a lawyer, Jack, who surprisingly says, you better not, which is what lawyers are paid to say. More specifically, he says, I would make sure everyone has consented verbally. And while the risk might be low, he adds, we would never recommend people take that risk.
Jack Armstrong
Well, geez. I mean, if somebody walks up to me and says I wear a device that records all of our conversations, just want to make sure that's okay with you.
Joe Getty
I'd be an automatic. No, no, you're freaking f all the way off.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, exactly.
Joe Getty
How far away can you get in the next 10 seconds? Get there.
Jack Armstrong
How does this benefit me in any way? There's only downside.
Joe Getty
So any thoughts, usefulness, hazards, etc. Drop us a note mailbag@armstrong and getty.com. we'll hit them around the same time tomorrow during the show. Show.
Jack Armstrong
They kind of reminded me of stuff though, because it remembers what I said. That'd be cool.
Joe Getty
Yeah, if they could refine it to promises and actions. And of course, you know, in the scenario we've. We've talked about a couple of times, it would have to be recording my wife saying, don't, don't forget we're having dinner with the Joneses next Tuesday.
Jack Armstrong
But does it also record? Remember the other night when you said you'd blink my blank think. You know what?
Joe Getty
Of course it'd be good to have a transcript, honey. Right here in black and white. All right.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. See, it's here.

Not trying to be argumentative here, but read the transcript.

Jack Armstrong
And it's antiperspirant. Deodorant doesn't do anything. You need antiperspirant.
Joe Getty
Agreed. That's right. You got to attack the stench it at source, Jack. So in a conversation subsequent to our discussion, last segment about these AI devices that listen to everything you say and then become a reminder, an assistant, etc, summarize your conversations, blah, blah, blah, we got to talking about 1 in 2 party consent states. Actually, 2 party consent states are all party consent states. Meaning in 38 states in the District of Columbia, just one person has to consent to record a phone call or a conversation.
Jack Armstrong
So I could call up anybody and be recording them and not let them know and that's perfectly legal.
Joe Getty
Not if you're at home in California, but in those other states. Yeah, the 38, 39 states. Yeah, that's correct. It is. It's a protection against the federal government tapping your phone without a warrant. Somebody chatting has to know it's being recorded or the government's got to have a warrant now.
Jack Armstrong
So that's the having a minimum of one.
Roku Advertiser
Right.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, gotcha.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And actually I'm in favor of that. I like that. I understand people being in favor of all party consent, which is the correct term because you could have three people on a phone call, obviously, but California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington are all party consent states. Everybody involved has to give consent.
Jack Armstrong
That's interesting that most states are not. I, I don't think I like the idea that somebody can call me up and be recording my conversations.
Joe Getty
I hate it. But I understand why it ought to be legal. It's, it's one of those things where. And yeah, there are limits to how great my argument is, but my argument is there are laws governing what you can do with a recording. If you use that recording to damage my reputation, damage my building, humiliate me publicly intentionally in ways that are untoward or illegal, I can have you prosecuted or sue you civilly. It's also an incredibly scumbaggy thing to do unless you've got a really good reason. On the other hand, you're getting threats from somebody. Somebody is trying to defraud you. You, you're in the midst of a custody battle and you are up against a congenital liar. I can think of a lot of good uses. Yeah, but yeah, legal, ethical and moral uses for that. Recorded.
Jack Armstrong
You got a violent boyfriend or husband, you Want to get him on the phone admitting to it or acting that way. Right. It's interesting though, like so many things, because of the change in technology, technology, like, nobody would have consented to having a device that tracks them on their car 30 years ago.
Joe Getty
Nobody's nobody. Why would I ever do that?
Jack Armstrong
Now we all willingly carry around a tracking device that we take with us everywhere we go, all the time. Similarly, while I hate the idea of somebody recording my phone calls, most of our conversations are texts with people. People. And that's, you know, as preservable as anything could possibly be.
Joe Getty
Right? Right. I can claim somebody grabbed my phone and typed it out, though. Damn it, I've been hacked. On the other hand, I can ruin this whole discussion by saying AI generated audio. You can fake up a phone call now, and it's utterly convincing and you need forensic scientists to decide whether it's legit or not. I don't know what the state of the art is.

Podcast Summary: Armstrong & Getty On Demand – Episode: "Attack That Stench At The Source"
Release Date: April 30, 2025
The latest episode of Armstrong & Getty On Demand, hosted by Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty under iHeartPodcasts, delves into a range of topical discussions, primarily focusing on political interviews, trade policies, a notable prank incident in the sports world, and the burgeoning realm of AI surveillance technologies. The hosts provide insightful commentary, interspersed with engaging dialogues and notable quotes from various speakers.
The episode opens with a discussion about former President Donald Trump's recent primetime interview with ABC News' political reporter Terry Moran. The conversation centers around Trump's comfortable demeanor in confrontational settings—an attribute not commonly shared by most politicians.
Disputed Gang Affiliation:
The hosts reference an exchange where Trump describes an individual with alleged gang ties, emphasizing the nature of the interaction:
Terry Moran: “He had MS.13 on his knuckles. Oh, he had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.” (04:34)
This claim is later contested by Armstrong, suggesting that the depiction was photoshopped.
Trump’s Interview Style:
Armstrong remarks on Trump's unique ability to handle contentious interviews without the typical defensive maneuvers:
Jack Armstrong: “One of the more interesting things about Trump... he doesn’t mind at all.” (05:41)
Getty adds that Trump mixes a bit of an icy stare with his assertive style but remains unflustered by the confrontations.
A substantial portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting Trump's stance on tariffs and their implications on the economy.
Contradictory Statements on Tariffs:
Armstrong points out the inconsistency in Trump's rhetoric regarding tariffs:
Jack Armstrong: “It's possible that he's just really committed to this very outlier view of the way tariffs can work...” (13:03)
Impact on Debt and Trade Deals:
The hosts debate the feasibility of tariffs paying down national debt versus the practical outcomes of negotiating reciprocal trade deals that might negate tariff benefits.
Jack Armstrong: “You can't have both.” (13:43)
Expert Commentary:
Getty references an analysis by Scott Besant, highlighting Trump's strategy of creating "strategic uncertainty" in negotiations, a tactic atypical in diplomatic engagements:
Joe Getty: “...President likes everybody to wonder what the hell is going on. That's a very Trumpian thing.” (14:29)
The podcast recounts an incident where Shador Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, became the target of a deceptive prank call during the NFL draft.
Details of the Prank:
Getty narrates how Sanders received a call from someone impersonating a Saints GM, Mickey Loomis, falsely informing him of a draft pick:
Joe Getty: “He just got trolled, bro. They tripping now, fam.” (19:19)
Apology and Aftermath:
The caller was identified as Jax Ulbricht, son of the Falcons' Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbricht. Following the incident, Ulbricht issued a heartfelt apology:
Jax Ulbricht: “I made a tremendous mistake... I'm so sorry I took away from your moment.” (22:05)
Hosts' Perspective:
Armstrong and Getty express empathy towards Sanders and critique the immaturity of such actions, emphasizing the unnecessary emotional distress caused:
Joe Getty: “...this kid is young and, and, and brash and made a terrible strategic error...” (21:16)
A significant segment of the episode explores the advent of AI-driven devices that monitor and summarize personal conversations, raising questions about privacy and consent.
Overview of AI Devices:
Referencing an article by Joanna Stern, the hosts discuss gadgets like the BE Pioneer bracelet and others that record and transcribe daily interactions:
Joe Getty: “These assistants can recall every dumb, private and cringe worthy thing that came out of my mouth.” (26:42)
Privacy Concerns:
Armstrong voices apprehension regarding the potential for misuse and the ethical implications of such pervasive surveillance:
Jack Armstrong: “I mean, if somebody walks up to me and says I wear a device that records all of our conversations, just want to make sure that's okay with you.” (38:22)
Legal Implications:
The discussion touches on varying state laws regarding consent for recording conversations, highlighting the complexities introduced by these technologies:
Joe Getty: “...in 38 states in the District of Columbia, just one person has to consent to record...” (43:37)
Potential Benefits:
Despite concerns, the hosts acknowledge scenarios where such devices could be beneficial, such as keeping track of commitments or resolving disputes:
Joe Getty: “If my whatsits could say to me, hey, remember you agreed to play golf with Gordy tomorrow afternoon? I'd be like, oh, shoot.” (35:56)
Epstein-Related Tragedy:
The hosts briefly mention the tragic suicide of a young woman associated with the Epstein scandal, expressing sorrow over the incident:
Jack Armstrong: “...that most famous girl from the whole Epstein thing... killed herself over the weekend.” (26:31)
AI Summaries and Personal Anecdotes:
Sharing personal experiences, Armstrong and Getty reflect on how AI summarization can both aid and awkwardly misrepresent daily interactions:
Joe Getty: “...it can summarize things and reminders...” (32:59)
The episode concludes with a series of advertisements for various products and services, including Roku Pro Series TVs, Greenlight financial tools, LifeLock identity protection, Thumbtack home project services, and Morton Buildings for construction needs. These segments, while informative about the sponsors, are distinct from the episode's main content.
Notable Quotes:
Joe Getty: “Any normal human being would cause a less than 100% level of confidence.” (07:18)
Jack Armstrong: “Anybody who says they have 100% confidence in anything is a liar.” (09:34)
Terry Moran: “I have 100% confidence in... I don't have 100% confidence in anything.” (08:45)
Jax Ulbricht: “I made a tremendous mistake... I'm so sorry I took away from your moment.” (22:05)
Joanna Stern: “AI surveillance state? Absolutely.” (28:04)
Conclusion
In "Attack That Stench At The Source," Armstrong and Getty navigate through intricate discussions surrounding political strategies, ethical dilemmas in technology, and unforeseen incidents in the sports domain. Their balanced perspectives offer listeners a comprehensive understanding of each topic, enriched by direct quotes and thoughtful analysis.
