Major Discussion Segments

1. Iranian Protests & Potential Regime Change

[02:30–07:53]

• Context: Iran is seeing its largest anti-government protests in years with escalating violence, burning vehicles, and the regime cracking down harshly.
• Richard Engel (NBC) reports that protesters “are not asking for change… now they want it to go,” referring to the government ([03:42]).
• Jack and Joe reflect on regime changes through history and note Iran’s vulnerabilities after losing key allies: “Iran is weaker than it’s ever been because it lost Hezbollah, it lost Bashar al Assad…” – Jack ([04:05]).
• Joe questions the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions and wonders aloud about Trump’s next move: “I just don’t feel like sanctions have ever done anything that I’ve ever seen” ([07:05]).
• Discussion about rumors of regime leaders (“the mullahs”) fleeing: “Did you hear the rumors that the mullahs were spotted at the airport?” – Jack ([04:50]).

Notable Quote

“I was watching that pretty closely over the weekend. Really would love to see that regime fall. See those people yanked out of the palace by their beards, drugged through the streets.”
— Joe, [03:19]

2. Venezuela, U.S. Intervention, & “Beard Scramblers”

[07:53–12:16]

• Reports cite U.S. citizens being advised to leave Venezuela as pro-government militias clamp down ([08:24]).
• The hosts talk through a viral post about a claimed U.S. operation using “sonic weapons” or “brain scramblers” against Venezuelan security.
• Alleged weapon effects: “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood…” ([09:26], News Nation).
• Joe and Jack joke about the lack of a brain scrambler sound effect and riff on the operational ease such weapons would bring: “Maybe we start doing that to Iran. Start scrambling with beard scramblers.” – Joe ([12:05])
• Recurring tongue-in-cheek references to beard/soundwave–themed weaponry.

Memorable Banter

“Do we have that ray gun sound?” – Joe
“We got nothing for a brain scramble.” – Jack ([11:41])

---

3. AI’s Encroachment into Creative Work

[18:06–23:13]

• Segment covers a $10 billion AI startup in the Bay Area hiring professionals (from poets to dermatologists) to train AI—essentially to help replace their own professions.
• Poets and writers are included, with Jack remarking: “Poets who ‘enhance AI’s understanding of poetic structure… can earn as much as $150 an hour. Which for your average poet is what they make in a week, on average.” ([19:28])
• Joe skeptically questions AI’s potential to match deep human creativity, e.g., in poetry or literary arts ([19:54]).
• Jack shares a personal story about a video editor hired to critique and annotate AI-generated videos—they joke that it’s an “interesting job,” but she’s training her own replacement ([20:55]).
• Whimsical pondering: Could AI replace talk radio? Joe claims, “there’s a fair amount of talk radio that AI could do… I can name like five shows…” ([22:22]).
• Existential worry: If artificial intelligence can produce “a hundred years’ worth [of literature] in five minutes, what would that do?” – Joe ([20:14])

Notable Quotes

“Will AI ever be able to do that? I’m skeptical about that.”
— Joe, [19:54]
"Is AI going to crank out talk radio next?"
— Jack, [22:01]

---

4. Housing, Race, & Neo-Marxist Policy

[27:25–37:09]

• A clip from Sia Weaver (NYC tenant organizer) proposes shifting property from “individualized good to a collective good” and foresees white (and some POC) families having “a different relationship to property” ([27:55]).
• Jack critiques Weaver’s racially loaded language and self-satisfaction about “white families” losing property ([28:30]).
• Hosts highlight dissent from black homeowner associations defending homeownership as black wealth-building, criticizing Weaver’s “Marxist policies” ([28:46]).
• Jack draws on Alicia Finley’s Wall Street Journal analysis, identifying a strategy: make private ownership unprofitable to collapse the system, then “the government will seize the buildings and hand them over to tenant collectives…” ([32:19]).
• Socialism critique, using the Venezuela-Poland comparison: Venezuela’s GDP plummeted under socialism while Poland thrived with capitalism ([35:13]).

Notable Quotes

“Socialism is… a system of shared misery.”
— Jack, [34:10]
“That’s all you need to know. Answering the age-old question of where would you rather retire—Poland or Venezuela?”
— Joe, [36:25]

---

5. Awards Season & The “Woke” Debate in Movies

[40:33–45:48]

• A trailer for the movie “One Battle After Another,” which swept the Golden Globes, serves as entry to discussing culture wars in Hollywood ([40:33]).
• The film's plot: Ex-revolutionary fights corrupt officials, features leftist/radical themes (ICE, racism, pronouns, white supremacy). Jack and Joe debate whether it’s truly “woke” or more satirical ([41:42]).
• Listeners text in: “The new movie that DiCaprio is in is so woke and the worst movie… We actually walked out of the IMAX theater because it was so bad.” – Listener text, read by Joe ([42:46]).
• Jack references last year’s award-winner about a transgender cartel boss, notes a trend of unwatchable “message” movies ([43:01]).
• Spirited sidebar: Why are sex scenes in movies? Joe argues they never advance storylines, Jack counters with their appeal and role as part of life ([44:26]).

Notable Quotes

“You are more anti sex scene in movies than anybody I’ve known outside of the clergy.”
— Jack to Joe, [44:54]
“It would be like if you were talking to your co-worker at work and you dropped your pants real quickly and then pulled them back up.”
— Jack, on random explicit scenes, [46:01]

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 Yeti. They are the biggest anti government protests in Iran in years. Cars set on fire. Videos posted on social media showing the violent escalation. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei saying protesters are destroying the country. To quote, please the U.S. president. And Trump posting on social media Saturday. Iran is looking at freedom perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help.

[Joe Getty]

I was watching that pretty closely over the weekend. Really would love to see that regime fall. See those people yanked out of the palace by their beards, drugged through the streets.

[Jack Armstrong]

Boy, they'd been the source of a hell of a lot of violence and angst and hate in both their region and around the world. Iran, a malevolent force, no doubt.

[Joe Getty]

And I would say Richard Engel of NBC with his report on the story.

[Jack Armstrong]

There are hundreds of thousands of people on the streets. They are setting fires. They are occupying certain neighborhoods and able to hold them for certain amounts of time, at least temporarily. And the protesters, they're not asking for change. That's how it started. They wanted economic reforms. The currency was in free fall. Now they want it to go.

[Public Ad Read Announcer]

And the context is completely different.

[Jack Armstrong]

Iran is weaker than it's ever been because it lost Hezbollah, it lost Bashar al Assad. So I would say definitely this is the weakest that they've been.

[Public Ad Read Announcer]

The biggest challenge that they've faced since the 1979 revolution.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. I've heard other people say differently, and Richard Engel's pretty good on this stuff. Revolutions are so interesting, you know, the ones that have happened in my lifetime and then reading about them throughout history, it's just so. I mean, they often get squashed, and then, you know that you try it again, you get squashed, and then the next time it works. And why? Nobody really knows. The magic recipe for when a regime can't get their security forces to get the crowds out of there, or world opinion turns against them enough or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right. Did you hear the rumors that the mullahs were spotted at the airport?

[Joe Getty]

No.

[Better Picks Ad Announcer]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. I don't know. They're sitting there at the gate listening to their. They got their Beats headphones on, sitting there at the terminal. No, I haven't heard any more than that, but I thought that was interesting.

[Joe Getty]

Get a plane for you and your beard.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, you and your beard obsession. Years and years ago, I took in a lecture by a political scientist that I thought was super interesting. He was talking about liberty, which is a topic near and dear to my heart, that you got three kinds of liberty. You got personal liberty. I can do what I want for a living, I can go where I want, that sort of thing. You've got political liberty in that you are allowed to vote for the politicians of your choice, whatever. You can vote on laws and that sort of thing. And then you've got national liberty, meaning your country isn't under the thumb of anybody else and can choose its own destiny, more or less, and can defend itself. Right. And the reason that popped to mind was the poor people of Iran had this unholy deal with the current government where, all right, we got no personal liberty and we got no political liberty, really. But you do keep us safe. We're a strong country. We're not gonna get beat by any other foreign powers or whatever, and we're kind of proud of that. Well, now they got 0 for 3. Both Israel and the U.S. you know, exposed them as a paper tiger, just really a child on the world scene. And the people of Iran are saying, if we're getting nothing in this bargain out.

[Joe Getty]

So Trump said a week or so ago, they start shooting protesters, the United States is going to come to the aid of the protests. And now 500 to 1,000 or more people got slaughtered over the weekend. Body bags over the place, injured people all over the place, hospitals full of people who have been beaten enough to go to the hospital. All kinds of people. The prisons are full of detainees who will probably be tortured or killed, that sort of thing. So now what does Trump do? The Wall Street Journal writing, President Trump is scheduled to be briefed tomorrow on options to respond to the protests in Iran. According to U.S. officials assigned, the president is considering reprimanding, that's a kind word, the regime for its crackdown, as he is repeatedly threatened. The president's planned meeting with senior administration officials will be a discussion about its next steps, which could include boosting anti government sources online, deploying secretive cyber weapons against Iranian military and civilian sites. That's exciting. Or placing more sanctions on the regime. I hate the S word because I feel like it's worthless. I just don't feel like sanctions have ever done anything that I've ever seen. Washington Post writing, Donald Trump says Iran has contacted the United States, which I thought was interesting, to propose talks as his administration weighs responses, including military options, amid reports from rights groups that hundreds of people have been killed. So Iran contacting us and saying. And saying what? Ah, let's do business.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, what are you looking for? What do you need. Let's talk. I think we can come to a deal. Well, they're desperate. Well, that talk of secretive cyber weapons reminded me we've got to talk, we've got to bring up that Venezuela stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Let's, let's do that. Now. Where, where do we have that?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's 70 through 72.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, this is really, really interesting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why don't we go ahead and start with 70? From News Nation, Xavier Walton talking about the situation there in Kami, Venezuela.

[News Nation Reporter]

The travel warning for Venezuela is still at a level four out of four. So the highest one in the State Department's wording pretty blunt here. So it says that all U.S. citizens or anyone with U.S. residency status in Venezuela should leave the country immediately before warning not to travel to Venezuela for any reason at all. A security alert issued by the US Embassy in Karak is specifically pointing to armed groups like the one you're seeing here, including pro government militias known as colectivos, who are setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles. While the Trump administration, you know, doesn't believe there are bounties on Americans, they are urging extreme caution.

[Joe Getty]

I feel like my situation's at a four out of four a lot of times.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I hear that. Well, if you decide, you know what, let's go to Venezuela. Commies are still in charge and they're really, really pissed off at what happened. But as an American, let's go.

[Joe Getty]

But here's the exciting thing, getting to, you know, using cyber weapons or some sort of newfangled weapons on Iran, apparently we did in Venezuela. According to this report, White House Press.

[News Nation Reporter]

Secretary Caroline Levitt sharing a little bit of something on social media was an ex post from California conservative activist Mike Netter of an alleged transcript of an interview with a member of the Venezuelan security forces loyal to Maduro. Now in that post, the so called security guard claims that around 20 US troops killed hundreds of Venezuelans and used sonic weapons. The guard allegedly said, quote, and this is a little graphic here for the morning, but it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

[Joe Getty]

Goldschlager will do that too.

[Jack Armstrong]

It sounds like my Friday night.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, so I believe that because all the reports on this to me have seemed like, how did that happen? I mean, he knew. He knew we were coming for him. He's got a freaking army surrounding him. How the hell did we get in there without more of a fight?

[Jack Armstrong]

And elite Cuban guys, too. I mean, I see us winning, you know, 43, to cite a football metaphor, but zero casualties and in and out and all. Yeah, I wonder if we neutralized them with the old brain scrambler.

[Joe Getty]

We hit him with the bs they felt like their heads were gonna explode. They're stomping around holding their heads.

[Jack Armstrong]

You got the sound, Michael? What's the sound of the brain scrambler? Come on full alert in there.

[Joe Getty]

And then we shoot them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we have that ray gun sound?

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're stumbling around with the. The brain ray thing going on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, right, exactly.

[Joe Getty]

And we just shoot them all, grab the dude out of his bed and get out of there. And that's. And again, that was just so surprising to me that. That Maduro and his wife were practically caught in bed. I mean, they had just gotten out of bed trying to get to their safe room. Like, didn't you hear a giant firefight? Well, it wouldn't be a giant firefight if you scramble their brains and you just shoot them each one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did you not tell your guards that if they call twice, even though your phone's on do not disturb, it'll go through? I mean, what sort of alert mechanism? How long does it take to get from your bedro to your safe room? You don't have, like, a buzzer and a flashing light or anything? No, here's. Here's the brains rambling. Right? We got that ready?

[Joe Getty]

Finally.

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, no, I don't have that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, for God's sake.

[Public Ad Read Announcer]

What?

[Joe Getty]

Good God, we have so many sound effects. Something. Anything. We got nothing. We got nothing for a brain scramble.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm sorry. What's happening? I mean, you can. You can apologize all you. What happened?

[Joe Getty]

You're Justin Herbert laying on his back last night. That's what you are. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

The big game comes, and Michael didn't show up. All right.

[Joe Getty]

But anyway, that. That doesn't surprise me. That rings true to me based on how that whole thing turned out. So maybe we start doing that to Iran. Start scrambling with a beard. Scramblers.

[Jack Armstrong]

We got that, right. Hey. So the football action was spectacular over the weekend. Prize picks enjoyed it as much as we all did. It's good to be right on prize picks with high pressure playoff matchups every weekend and elite hoops action almost every night. The action never stops. And you can get into fantasy sports. Not with a draft that lasts all season long. No, weekend by weekend, day by day. If you want to get into it, you get into it.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not that good because I don't pay that close attention. So this is cool. You can share prize picks with your friends. Copy lineups from winners. You seem to win a lot.

[Better Picks Ad Announcer]

Stafford going towards the end zone.

[Joe Getty]

Parkinson what a catch and a touchdown.

[Jack Armstrong]

Catch the nest. High outside, left foot, right foot. He is in.

[Joe Getty]

Rams looked horrible the whole game and then right at the end the fourth quarter drive, they come back and win the game. And I saw this quote from quarterback Matt Stafford who went into the huddle with the team and said, let's go snatch these guys hearts.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, bunch of heart snatchers out here.

[Joe Getty]

Some swagger for someone who'd been sucking the whole game. Just like you can't compete. It would have been the biggest upset in like 40 years if the Rams had lost and it looked like they were going to law lose in terms of a point spread. We've been Talking about the 49ers a lot because we're based in Northern California and a lot of 49ers fans here. But the other team in California, the Chargers, looked their poor quarterback, got the crap beaten out of the last night and I was just, for some reason I was looking this up because I just think it's kind of interesting human story. He's a great college player, comes into the league, sets rookie records, all this, all this sort of stuff as a quarterback for the Chargers and then he signs a $250 million contract or something like that. But he's never won a playoff game and he gets just his head beaten.

[Jack Armstrong]

In every time they make the playoffs.

[Joe Getty]

I wonder what that's like.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, having a rough day at work in the NFL is a lot rougher than Most of our rough days, isn't it?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, no kidding. But then you got the quarter of a billion dollar contract so you know, that'd be a salve for your wounds.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey Joe, how's the show today? I don't know, it's just not great. I just didn't get things going and. Oh, and I broke my lower leg and got a concussion. Yeah, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be.

[Joe Getty]

Packed in ice for the next week.

[Jack Armstrong]

Speaking of jobs, ready to move on to this? This is absolutely crazy. One of the bay area of San Francisco Bay area is how to startups is hiring like crazy and they might, they might be looking for you, nevermind. Driving for uber, delivering people's McDonald's for whatever service. Mercor is this AI startup valued at $10 billion and they're, what they do is they train AI models to replace all of us. Right? And they're getting very specific. They are hiring all sorts of different people, from astronomers to psychologists to industrial engineers, filmmakers, creative writers, comedians, legal experts, investment bankers and venture capitalists to check out what their AI can churn out in that person's field and tell them what's good and bad about it. Critique the AI so it can better replace them their entire career field down the line. A dermatologist can make as much as 250 bucks an hour helping a healthcare partner develop its decision support tools. And poets who quote Enhance AI's understanding of poetic structure.

[Joe Getty]

AI is going to replace poets?

[Jack Armstrong]

I know this, that part seems stupid.

[Joe Getty]

And the world yawns.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll put that aside for the moment. But poets who quote Enhance AI's understanding of poetic structure, literary nuance and emotional expression can earn as much as $150 an hour. Which for your average poet is what they make in a week, on average.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think your average poet makes anything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Mercourt hired over 30,000 such contractors last year to work on these projects.

[Joe Getty]

That's a big test. Not that, not that I like poetry, but it doesn't really matter that much in terms of a jobs thing but, but anything that requires that level of human creativity. Will AI ever be able to do that? I'm skeptical about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

And if it does become capable, where the hell does that leave us?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, no kidding, no kidding. If it can crank out brilliant mind numbing literature and poetry or movies and songs, but it can do like a hundred years worth in five minutes, right? What would that do?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yeah, I mean we're as, we are both just so, so sophisticated. We're Worried about, you know, the highest levels of art, but how about formulaic crap? How many people is that gonna put out of work?

[Joe Getty]

Good, put them out of work.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's a specific for you. Here's this gal, Katie. She's 30, she's a video editor. And she saw posting for a job which she initially thought, like a lot of people do with this might be a scam, but it wasn't. It was looking for a video editor. And that's her training in her career. She soon landed an interview conducted by an unseen AI Proctor with a male sounding voice. Hello, baby. She wasn't quite sure what the job would entail, but the pay was 45 bucks an hour, so she moved ahead. She is now about six months into various projects that have involved watching video clips and writing out captions of everything that's happening in them and rating the quality of videos generated by prompts. She has mixed feelings about the work. Blah, blah, blah, I'm replacing myself. So she looks at the AI editing of videos and says they lingered on the shot of the puppy dog too long and didn't cut to the kitty cat or whatever. I don't, I don't know what it is, but.

[Joe Getty]

Well, yeah, you can have an interesting job, you can have all the mixed feelings you want, but it's happening whether you like it or not.

[Jack Armstrong]

So, yeah, I just, I'm amused by the idea of. I mean, for instance, is AI going to crank out talk radio next? And do they need people to sit there and listen to some AI talk show host and it's hot, hot takes and then say it's takes out and trump, we're a little knee jerking without nuance. I don't, I don't want to be.

[Joe Getty]

Catty, but I feel like there's a fair amount of talk radio that AI could do. I'm not going to mention the shows because it would not be to my benefit, but I can name like five shows. AI listen to that. You could crank that out all freaking day long. You know exactly what they're going to say about everything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, true.

[Joe Getty]

But if you know Warren Peace, one of the great books ever written, if it can crank out a hundred Warren pieces every 3:30 seconds, where does that leave the world?

[Jack Armstrong]

What.

[Joe Getty]

What are you doing there? I don't, I don't even know what.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is the worth of each individual one, which used to be a monumental achievement of genius, hard work and dedication. Now it's just crap. A machine spits out.

[Joe Getty]

If it wasn't written by a person, does it make any difference also? I don't think we know that yet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good evening and welcome to.

[Cindy Crawford / Meaningful Beauty Announcer]

The 83rd Golden Globes. Yes, the Golden Globes, without a doubt the most important that's happening in the world right now. I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room tonight. It's insane. There's so many A listers. And by A listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted. But. And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to. The Justice Department. And the award for most post editing goes to. CBS News. Yes. CBS News, America's newest place to CBS News.

[Joe Getty]

So I thought that joke was interesting. I assumed that was gonna eventually be the take. Barry Weiss takes over cbs, makes an effort to try to make it more, well, real news. And that's going to be the take on it if, if she's successful. And man, last week I was very unhappy with their coverage of the Minneapolis shooting. But if she's successful, they're going to get huge ratings. They just will. I mean, look at Fox.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Right? Yeah, that's. Yeah. Okay. I like the Epstein references there.

[Joe Getty]

You can't get enough Epstein monologue.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah. I, I would like to renew my offer. I will skip the next two rounds of headlines have anything to do with the Epstein files. And if anything significant comes out of them, I lose the bet anyway. I won't lose. Perhaps you heard us talk about this last week. Here is one. Sia Weaver, the director of Tenant something or other under the Kami Mumdani in New York City.

[Cindy Crawford / Meaningful Beauty Announcer]

I think the reality is, is that for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good. And we are going to transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.

[Jack Armstrong]

Again, I love the way she brightens as she says, especially white families because she knows that'll get her lots of approval among her wackadoodle peers.

[Joe Getty]

And I think she also feels it in that weird self hating. Wouldn't it be awesome if white people had fewer houses?

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Joe Getty]

That is so nuts.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and she admits people of color will be forced out of their Homes, too, as the government takes them over. And a couple of reactions. One, I think, deals with the symptoms, and the other one that addresses the cause in a way that I should have been hip to. But. So there's a couple of associations of black homeowners in New York City, including one called Brownstones of Bedford Stuyvesant, Bed Stuy, as they call it in New York, which was founded decades and decades ago to help keep black homeowners in historically black neighborhoods. And they have an association, they're proud of their neighborhoods and they keep it clean. And, you know, if people run into trouble, try to help people, you know, keep their homes, that sort of thing. And everybody involved in that is like, what's this one person's name? Renee Gregory's, the current president said, white supremacy. I'm not white. I read Weaver's comments. I don't know where they came from, blah, blah, blah. And she says, we're all about, oh, here it is. Marlon Rice, who's running for the Senate district there in New York, said, homeownership is an essential element of black wealth. It's repugnant to attach yourself to policies that look to value homeownership. We should be fortifying pathways to home ownership. So you got a bunch of black activists in this article in the New York Post saying, this is the last thing in the world we ought to be doing. Purchasing a home is a tool to lift your family out of poverty, not a tool of white supremacy. This one guy wrote about his own father's experience, actually. And then you know what? I was reminded, and I think one of the great battles we're fighting here against all the WOKE stuff is that the policies they advocate are not their point. Those are just strategies. And this is from the fabulous so Smart Alicia Finley in the Wall Street Journal, and the title of the article is How Mamdani and Sia Weaver Plan to End Private Housing. Their proposals would make apartment buildings impossible to sustain. That's by design. And that's what a guy like me or Charles C.W. cook or a lot of people forget when we look at their neo Marxist policies and say, that'll never work. You can't artificially depress rents because then the owners won't be able to maintain their buildings and nobody will put more buildings on the market. And it's going to make this situation worse. Well, what happens if you make a situation worse and worse? That system collapses. Very good. If you filled in that blank, that system collapses. That's the cloud pivot strategy. You overload a system until it collapses. Then you say, well, this system is collapsed. We need to replace it with. And you happen to have a system ready to go, and that would be Marxism. So there they absolutely. And again, this is not the paranoid ravings of some kla. This is the brilliant Alicia Finley in the Wall Street Journal. She describes the decommodifying housing in the plan. Drive out private investors by making it impossible to turn a profit and keep properties in serviceable condition. Then the government will seize the buildings and hand them over to tenant collectives and nonprofits to manage under communal ownership.

[Joe Getty]

So that's the plan.

[Jack Armstrong]

They know it doesn't work. They know the numbers don't work. They want that.

[Joe Getty]

Well, the economic part is horrifying. And then you put the racial part on top of it. Like, you have so much glee at the idea of taking homes from white people for some reason. So she's a racist and a communist.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I think part of her excitement in using those terms is during the COVID slash George Floyd era, any nod toward that's white supremacy. And if you support it, you're a white supremacist. You immediately won the day. Your Marxist policy got immediate widespread acceptance because you had floated the scary, scary prospect of white supremacy. Doesn't work anymore. But they really lean hard into that strategy because it worked so well for a while. I mean, you look at all the corporations that were, and not to mention, you know, school districts and universities that were forcing all their folks to undergo what was recently declared by the 8th Circuit Court an unconstitutional training process, indoctrination process. You're reminded of how scared everybody was of being called a white supremacist. So that's why they lean on it so hard.

[Joe Getty]

You know, one thing they've got on their side for people wanting change about housing is, as I read an article about this the other day, the housing market is about as weird as it's ever been in our nation's history in terms of everybody thinks everything's overpriced. Everybody's got loans that are so low you'd never move unless you absolutely had to. It's just. It's a very, very strange situation for being able to afford to live somewhere, you know, which leads to rents being higher. Also, I don't know what's ever going to break us loose of that boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it is going to absolutely make people miserable on the road to succeeding in their policy goals. Here's a little evidence for you. So market. Well, how do I put this exactly? So the city's Public housing units. What? They want to control all of the public housing units. They have 40% more maintenance deficiencies than older rent stabilized units still in private hands and 150% more than market rate ones. So the closer it is to public government ownership, the more miserable the housing unit is. And they want to turn everything into that. Man. Socialism is the. It's a system of shared misery. Oh, that reminds me. I was gonna do a little feature. I was gonna call Joe Getty's all you need to know and thank you, Michael.

[Joe Getty]

Oh boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

And let me see if I can find. Oh, there it is. Fabulous. I found it in time. This is all you need to know. Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland anyway. 02 Because Poland was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free market economics and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom. Venezuela, which was an economic juggernaut, chose socialism which brought poverty and misery to its people. Here you go. In roughly 1980 the GDP per capita in Venezuela was about $18,000. In Poland it was about $10,000. So almost twice as good in Venezuela as Poland. Then the the wall fell. Poland embraced capitalism, blah blah blah. And now just a few years later, Venezuela's per capita GDP has gone from 18,000 to 5,000 and Poland's has gone from around 10,000 to 33,000 per capita.

[Joe Getty]

That's all you need to know. Answering the age old question of where.

[Jack Armstrong]

Would you rather retire?

[Joe Getty]

Poland or Venezuela?

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. The beaches are better in Venezuela by a long shot. But you gotta deal with the secret place anyway. Oh, and so yeah, they just didn't do socialism. Right. We're gonna do it right? Man, I wish I had more than two fists because all those people need a punch. Anybody has ever said that really is craving a punching. We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, all right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Ask the polls in the Venezuelans about the warmth warm embrace of collectivism. Good God. You're a monster, Mum. Donnie.

[Joe Getty]

So last night Hollywood's biggest stars gathered for the Golden Globes. And the movie they that got the most awards is either brilliant or woke. Nonsense. We got a couple of texts about that among other things on the way. Stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, you are so unsuitable for my daughter. My child comes from a whole line of revolutionaries and you look so lost. What are you gonna do about this baby?

[NFL Promo Announcer]

You know what freedom is?

[Joe Getty]

What?

[NFL Promo Announcer]

No fear.

[Jack Armstrong]

Go.

[Joe Getty]

It's a very jazzy trailer for the movie One Battle After Another which has come into my mind. Share Just in the last couple of weeks a couple people I know have seen it. Then I thing about it being super woke and I kind of rolled my eyes at that because I've been told other things are woke and then I watch them and I think sometimes a cigar is just a cigar lighting up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

But I was just reading about this and somebody on the staff, I won't say who, said that they watched it and said this movie is like a love letter to crazy protesters who are woke up. And based on the plot line how have I not seen this yet? Or how is this not getting more conversation? So this movie, One Battle After Another won Best Picture last night at Golden Globes and a whole bunch of other awards. Here's the plot. The film follows an ex revolutionary who is forced back into his former combative lifestyle when he is in and his daughter are pursued by corrupt military officers. It focuses on a left wing militant group. It centers on leftist revolutionaries, deals with immigration, racism, systemic power and political division. Features storylines around ICE detention facilities and white supremacism. Sounds perfectly fine and includes moments where the parents are anxiously talking about their daughter's friend's pronouns. You got people in violent struggles with ICE and authoritarianism. Yeah, it sounds like a movie afraid.

[Jack Armstrong]

They'Re getting the pronouns wrong.

[Joe Getty]

It's hard to imagine this movie not being woke up, but it does sound like if it's going to bunch a bunch of awards and get a lot of attention, something I'm probably going to see this week so I can talk about it. We did get this text for your information. The DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio is in it. Which one of the reasons I rolled my eyes at it is Leonardo DiCaprio was in Don't look up, which I was told was so insufferably woke. And I found it fine. I thought it made fun of everybody, so didn't bother me a bit. But the new movie that DiCaprio is in is so woke and the worst movie I didn't. It didn't even make sense. Lots of sex too. We actually. Okay, well the sex has bothered you. I know. We actually walked out of the IMAX theater because it was so bad.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I remember the big award winner last year. Was it last year or two years ago?

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Was the whole transgender cartel boss thing that I actually took one for the team and watched. It was hilariously unwatchable and it won all the awards.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, I'll watch this one this week. So I, I asked Claude, I said, I'm hearing that this movie is pretty woke. Yes, the film has definitely sparked debate about its politics, why some might call it woke. And then it mentions all the ice stuff and everything like that. But it did say this. Other critics disagreed with calling it a left wing movie, writing that blah, blah, blah, blah. It's more critical or satirical than a celebratory of radical politics. And that's kind of what I thought. Don't look up. Was it was like making fun of all of those, the, the, you know, the excesses. The excesses, yes. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't.

[Joe Getty]

I have to watch it to decide for myself. And whatever I decide doesn't mean it's right either. But wow, it's got ice and authoritarianism going too far and blah, blah, blah. A week after that shooting in Minneapolis, that movie's going to get a lot of attention. So the reason I'm going to watch it is Golden Globes are last night, meaning Oscars are coming soon. I guess it's award season and there'll be way too much talk about this all over the place.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's absolutely possible. I don't know this. I haven't seen it. I'm intrigued that folks on the left who've seen it think it's celebratory when it is satirical. Because as we pointed out many times, it's almost impossible to craft satire of lefty views because they're so hilariously over the top. So I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Speaking of this person being bothered by the sex scenes, I've always wondered why sex scenes are in movies. Most movies. And did you know why they put sex scenes in most movies?

[Jack Armstrong]

Because most people like them. I don't know. It helps tell the story.

[Joe Getty]

It doesn't help tell the story. It does not help tell the story. Very, very seldom does it help tell the story. It's just like, here's some porn for two seconds to satisfy somebody.

[Jack Armstrong]

You are more anti sex scene and movie than anybody I've known outside of the clergy. Well, there's a lot of responding.

[Joe Getty]

There's a lot of movies that are perfect, perfectly fine in every way. I'm watching with my kids and then all of a sudden they're some guy's banging the hell with some chick. Like, why, why is this here? Can I get a version without this while I'm watching it with my 14 year old? Because the rest of the movie's fine and it didn't add anything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, to you it didn't. You're like the person who says, how can you watch baseball? It's boring. No, it's actually not. What? It's boring.

[Joe Getty]

No, no, no. That does not work. That would be like.

[Jack Armstrong]

It works beautifully. It works as good as a well turned double play.

[Joe Getty]

That would be like if I'm doing something and then they give me baseball. And I would say the same thing. If I want to watch a baseball game, I know where to find it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, metaphor is as bad as your movie editing. It's terrible.

[Joe Getty]

I know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Part of life. Sex, love, passion.

[Joe Getty]

It's part of life. If I want to watch baseball, I know where to find a baseball game. If you want to watch porn. God, it's everywhere. So I just don't understand why you jam it into the middle of this movie. It'd be like if you were talking.

[Jack Armstrong]

To your co worker at work and you dropped your pants real quickly and then pulled him back up.

[Joe Getty]

Right? We're watching that movie about James Garfield being assassinated and then all of a sudden, bam, bam, bam, bam. Like, what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I'm working with Puritans. That's. That explains the buckled shoes and the weird hats they wear all the time, Michael.

[Joe Getty]

And the assassination of James Garfield has like. It's just a couple of. Let's drop some porn. Let's have pornhub drop in for a little while. Okay, now back to James Garfield. It almost seems hilarious.
