Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center,

[Coldwater Creek Advertiser]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Coldwater Creek Advertiser]

Three weeks ago, Trump administration members, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, blasted Iran for seeking to monetize the waterway.

[Joe Getty]

No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. I don't think we have anybody to convince around here in that regard. I think all the countries in this region would agree with us today.

[Coldwater Creek Advertiser]

Iran' foreign minister attempting to capture Irony wrote the President of the United States is absolutely right, stating he agrees that a country guaranteeing safe passage deserves compensation. Arguing Iran has always been the guardian of the strait and will remain so forever. 20% is, of course, too much.

[Jack Armstrong]

We will be fair snarkiness even among leaders we're at war with. I'll be darned. Trump, explaining here why we should do the toll thing there in the strait.

[Joe Getty]

We're gonna keep the strait and we'll probably run it.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

We'll become the guardian of the strait.

[Joe Getty]

Maybe we'll call it the Guardian angel of the Strait and we should be reimbursed for that. We guarded it for nothing and now we're gonna guard it and we're gonna get paid for guarding it. A lot of money, but we just want to be reimbursed for doing all

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

of this, for putting our people in danger.

[Joe Getty]

But we're really not putting people. We're really saving people.

[Jack Armstrong]

20% is a lot. As classic Trump, where you throw out a really, really big number off the top of your head and go from there. I haven't come across anybody who thinks this toll will ever actually happen. If it did, it would be $30 million for the really big ships to pay the toll to go through. That's a lot. But what would the collection mechanism be? And, you know, all kinds of different stuff there. Nobody seems to think that's actually ever

[Joe Getty]

going to happen, you idiot. A toll booth, please. It's well established.

[Jack Armstrong]

I doubt they take checks. You got a big wooden thing that comes down and the boat can't go through until you pay the toll.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly. You got the change bucket. The captain just leans over the rail of his boat and hurls the change down into the bucket.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's Trump with more explanation of where we currently are in this whole thing.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

This is almost a military skirmish now. With all of that being said, you have to get people that want to make something. We had a deal with them two days ago, and then they said, oh, we can't make that deal. We have to negotiate it further. And this is. They've done for 47 years. The difference is nobody negotiated like I do. And this should have been done by Bush and Obama and Biden and people before them, frankly, it's 47 years they've been ripping off everybody and really hurting and killing thousands of people.

[Joe Getty]

So all of that is true, but now what? Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we haven't even talked about. So I said yesterday, Trump should go on TV tonight and explain to the American people how Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be the worst day in world history. And nobody's been willing to stop it, as he just explained. And we're gonna stop it now and the price of gas is gonna go up for a while, but we're gonna deal with it. He should make that, make that case. He should have made that case for the war started, but he should made that case yesterday since the blockade is back on as of 4 o'clock this afternoon. When it was announced that Trump was going to go on television Thursday evening, I thought, okay, here he goes. He's going to, he's going to explain to the American people why this is important and what we're about to do. Nope. Trump is going on TV Thursday night and has asked the networks for time because he has new evidence on how the 2020 election was stolen. Oh, no, that's why he's going on tv.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy, I hadn't heard that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, apparently there's some new information about how foreign countries, probably Russia, intervened in the 2020 election and how it was stolen. So that's why he's going on tv. Not to deal with the war with Iran. To re. Energize the 2020 election with stolen debate. Which why that makes any difference anymore.

[Joe Getty]

You got.

[Jack Armstrong]

You want a second term fairly easily.

[Joe Getty]

You could make the argument that we gotta root out any electoral fraud, certainly. But I mean, there are ways to.

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't. The primetime address. Seriously. When I heard he was going to address the nation, I thought, okay, here it comes. You know, we're about to do something. We're going to take Carg Island. He's. He's going to prepare the United States for casualties and gas being expensive, I

[Joe Getty]

was certain that was the topic was. I was absolutely certain of.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nope, nope. 2020 election stuff. I know, it's absolutely unbelievable. Here he is talking about a nuke. 56. Please, Michael.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

If we didn't bomb them, they would have had a nuclear weapon long ago. One month, within one month from the we bombed them, they would have had. If we didn't do it, they would have had a nuclear weapon. If they had a nuclear weapon, Israel would no longer be with us and the Middle east probably would no longer be with us because you saw they sent missiles to five different countries that never even knew they were involved. Because they're stone cold crazy. They are crazy.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, you keep saying.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now, you keep saying that, but you don't seem to actually believe that they're crazy because you keep claiming that you made a deal with them. They've shown no willingness or interest in a deal whatsoever. But you keep pretending to yourself. I, I really am flummoxed by this whole thing. I can't wait to read years from now the history of it. When Marco Rubio or J.D. vance or whoever talks about what was going on behind the, the scenes. If it was the whole wishes being

[Joe Getty]

the father of your thoughts or it'll be Maduro too.

[Jack Armstrong]

I get that in the beginning. And you can excuse him for thinking that they would be able to pull that off. And I, you know, sometimes I'm not sure you can.

[Joe Getty]

No. But I'll. I'll hear you out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. But that just makes you wrong. You're wrong. You thought you could do it and turned out you couldn't with a big strike and decapitate them and everything like that. You were wrong. And in Joe's mind, badly wrong. But at after that though, for the last however many months, when you keep talking about, I'll never under, I'll never understand. J.D. vance should never be president because of that one quote. You know what's cool? You know what's really cool? Is a Revolutionary Guard now realizes that being against the United States all these years was a bad idea. He, he's not a dumb guy. He's the last, the last thing he is is a dumb guy. Why in world did he say that?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I know, I know. It was ridiculous and.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I just. Again, every single clip I respond to the same way. What now? Yeah, they suck. Yeah. They're crazy. Yeah. They're religious fanatics. Yeah. They're trying to get a nuke. Yeah. You knocked back their nuke program a long time.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Their navy is at the bottom of the ocean. Yes. Their air defenses are decimated. Now what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I feel like there are two options. You do the go full on war, open the straight militarily, take the island, probably have to put boots on the ground, lose life, that sort of stuff. How long you'd have to hold that before you'd root out all the irgc. I mean, would we be sending troops into interior Iran like we were doing in Afghanistan for a while, trying to root out the Taliban? I mean, what would have a surge.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, great.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or the. We shouldn't have lifted the blockade in the first time. Leave the blockade on. Do it for a long time. Choke them off until they run out of money. Don't let them make any money.

[Joe Getty]

That was the Joe Getty policy, as you may recall.

[Jack Armstrong]

So the regime falls.

[Joe Getty]

Why the hell are you letting up the pressure? I says to myself, well, I said to you good folks at the time, anyway, what's in the bag?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll tell you what's cool is they changed their mind. They've come around. That's why you let up the pressure. Go ahead, Michael.

[Joe Getty]

For 47 years, this country has been a thorn in our side. It's been kind of a basket case for Democrat and Republican administrations. The coolest thing about the progress we've made over the last few weeks is that you see people within the Iranian system, senior leadership, even IRGC officials say, you know what, we may have some animosity, we may have some mistrust, but we recognize the way that we've done business with the United States for 47 years is a mistake. Let's try something else. We're going to verify that, of course, but we're certainly, certainly willing to try something else. They comply?

[Jack Armstrong]

You've got to be kidding.

[Joe Getty]

And they didn't comply for 20 minutes?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, and I don't know why they didn't, because they had a really good deal. I don't know why they didn't just keep cashing the checks and working on getting a nuclear weapon behind the scenes. I don't know why they started bombing the ships, but yeah.

[Joe Getty]

So what's in the bag? What's inside your dog's food bag? Not the good nutrition they need, necessarily, but you don't need to buy some crazy expensive new dog food. You just need to try rough greens. Thousands of dog owners have turned to rough greens. It's America's number one dog supplement.

[Jack Armstrong]

There is a Trump's going to speak from the Oval Office soon. So we'll see supposedly about the war, not the 2020 election or Trump watches.

[Joe Getty]

So

[Jack Armstrong]

I just saw up here. It reminded me of something. Biggest footwear mistake you're making in the gym. I don't know if I'm making a footwear mistake in the gym, but it reminded me I think I may be

[Joe Getty]

making that very footwear mistake.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really? What is it?

[Joe Getty]

Yes. It's not wearing the death pants. It's. I'm guessing it's wearing the. The maxi padding running shoes.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's worked out. That's true. I stopped doing that because it's just. It's not great for some of the exercises I do. You taught too wobbly. You tip over.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you're going straight forward with various things. Those. Those super tall running shoes are pretty cool. But man, if you need to do anything like brace yourself lifting weights or something. They're not the best.

[Guest/Commentator]

Really.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not very good. But there's a new guy at the gym is so huge. He's among the hugest people I've ever seen in my life.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

I almost want to talk to him and say hey, what's it like being so huge and not in a. He looks like the dad from the Incredibles. Do you remember that cartoon for kids movie. He's built like that guy. Like it's. It's cartoonish. He's so wide. I like. Where do you get T shirts dude. And not. He's not in a ripped sort of muscular like on a magazine sort of guy. He's definitely. He looks like 0% body fat. But he's just so wide. I can't imagine how miserable it'd be to go through life. There's no way he could sit in an airline seat. No way. You'd have to buy three seats.

[Joe Getty]

Right. So I. I'd love to see the guy. So take a clandestine picture that's not at all unethical or weird.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's gonna look pretty gay.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. Is that like the. The woman who just gets Tanner and. Well, guys like this too. Tanner and Tanner and Tanner till they look like A catcher's mitt. He just can't see. Or it's like anorexia in reverse.

[Jack Armstrong]

This guy looks like it's just the way he was built and also lifts weights. It looks very natural. But he's so wide. His shoulders must be. I don't know how far that would be.

[Joe Getty]

Four feet wide. It's.

[Guest/Commentator]

It's.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe he's a robot of some sort. I don't know if he can even be a human being.

[Joe Getty]

It could be.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then the amount of weight he lifts with the barb actually bending the bar does not bend when I lift weight.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. I can't imagine what multiple of what I lift it would take to bend the bar. I can barely lift the bar. It's terrible.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hate when I have to move the bar when somebody's put the bar somewhere else and just carrying the bar. It's so heavy.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Wow. You should give him a quarter and see if he can break it in half.

[Jack Armstrong]

There you go. See if you can tear a quarter in half. I've seen it done, sir. You can't do it. You are a wimp. I think I can outrun him. Surely he can't run very fast.

[Joe Getty]

I don't ask him. I don't know. Well, you might find out if you can outrun him after he catches you taking pictures of him.

[Jack Armstrong]

I did want to talk about the dsa, which is in the news a lot. Maybe an hour for the Democratic Socialists of America Party. Jonah Goldberg had a great screed. He went on. Off on. On Twitter last week. He's really worked up about this socialism stuff because he's written several books about capitalism and socialism being awful and all that sort of stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. Speaking of lefties, the man with the world's worst voice is back in the news.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Great. I think it's legit to. To actual. I'm sorry, I know some of you are screaming, don't do it, you bastards. I swear to. I'll find you.

[Jack Armstrong]

The weird guy who brought us Graham Platner.

[Joe Getty]

The vocal fry and the weird. I'm a little offended.

[Jack Armstrong]

That guy.

[Joe Getty]

Back in the news. That guy.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's back in the news. Fantastic. Stay tuned.

California man recently set a Guinness World Record by solving two Rubik's Cube puzzles while skydiving.

[Jack Armstrong]

The previous record was almost 2.

[Joe Getty]

Didn't even get his name. On Tuesday, they asked his family. They're like, you don't want to put

[Coldwater Creek Advertiser]

his name on it?

[Joe Getty]

They're like, yeah, put dumb mother. They're like, we're not gonna do that.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're like, then leave it blank. People in their stunts. I don't know. I guess you gotta get the clicks, get the Instagram followers or something. Maybe I'm too old to understand the need. I don't know. Yeah, I was just looking up at the tv. So Norway got beat by England in World cup soccer and they returned home and, oh, my God, even though they only made it to the final, 800,000 people turned out in the streets to watch them land at the airport and get off the plane. Fighter jets came and intercepted the plane and flew next to it as it landed. And then the striking Viking, Eric Holland got off the plane carrying his stuffed raccoon that he bought at a Texas boot store, which is pretty funny. Crowd going wild. That's really fun, I guess, because they don't have an NBA team or you don't have other sports to cheer for or whatever.

[Joe Getty]

And getting to the elite eight is. That's a hell of an achievement. Oh, heck yeah. You seem to be poo poo in it. I won't have it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. Should we be rooting for France against Spain today since it's Bastille Day?

[Joe Getty]

Go ahead if you wanna.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hanson, our executive producer, believes there's been an uptick in attractive young teachers having sex with high school boys, which is a story that. When did that first, like, erupt as a thing? And then I remember us talking about it on the air decades ago and then getting all kinds of emails. I was about to say text. This is before text existed. Emails from people say, yeah, it happened in my school. Just nobody talked about it. So it had been a thing apparently for maybe forever. It's just not something that made the news.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Who's the attractive gallon? Was it Washington state who ended up marrying?

[Jack Armstrong]

They got married and stayed together a very long time.

[Guest/Commentator]

Kids.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Guest/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

But it's.

[Joe Getty]

It's.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's almost always somebody very attractive and it's some sort of reliving your high school popularity thing. I don't know what's going on.

[Joe Getty]

So woman seeing her beauty vanish, desperately clinging to it, her sexual power. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's a substitute teacher who was going after a 14 year old man. 17's one thing. 16 is one thing. 14 is really young. Anyway, she was sending naked snaps every time she showered. God, I want you so bad.

[Joe Getty]

She would say chimney. It's not fair.

[Jack Armstrong]

Something wrong with you.

[Joe Getty]

No kidding.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. This is new. Ukraine reportedly has struck 116 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov over the past week and a half. Are the numbers that came out one way. Attack drones, 116 Russian vessels. That's a lot. Between that and all the oil refineries and the fact that your lifespan as a Russian soldier when you hit the front is 20 minutes. Now, at some point, Putin's gotta be thinking, is this a good idea? Should I keep doing this?

[Joe Getty]

And I don't mean to be inhumane, comparing lives to money, but it reminds me of, you know, the old saying, how'd you go broke? You know, bit by bit, then all of a sudden, that's how you run out of guys and you have to like, institute a widespread draft and that will not go over well. Russia's in trouble.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we had a lot on the way. If you missed a segment the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand, Armstrong and Gettysburg.

The first ever X Games League championship is going down live and New Orleans has the call. Three days of elite action sports. A season's worth of competition coming down to one final weekend. Watch July 24 through 26 on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 or stream on the ESPN app, X Games, YouTube, Kick, Roku sports channel and Amazon. The championship starts July 24. Don't miss the moment. It becomes history.

[Guest/Commentator]

Part of our thesis here is that people do not want their candidates grown in vats. They want people who are real human beings and they want people who do not look and sound like the background people who've been leading this country off a cliff for the last century. And that was Graham.

[Joe Getty]

Oh boy, oh boy. You know, I just misplaced, I think Nellie Bowles of the Free Press Hilarious description of his voice. That is Daniel Morav, part of the brain trust that recruited rapey Nazi fake oysterman Graham Platner to run for the Senate in Maine. And he almost got away with it too, if it weren't for you kids. But so Morath is half of this brain trust with Morris Katz. And boy, the story on who these guys are is coming out now and it's so interesting because it's so typical. Katz became a bonafide Beltway celebrity when he helped mum Donnie get elected. And then he recruited Platner with Moraf to run in Maine. Made a slickly produced launch video of the unemployed business owner Cosplaying is working class everyman, the New York Times wrote of cats like Mr. Mumdani. Mr. Katz is a child of the New York cultural elite but is fluent in the anti elite language of progressive populism. Populism he's 26 and ready to fix the Democrat strategy.

[Jack Armstrong]

26, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. So you know, he's the rich kid who says he hates capitalism, functioning societies and any opponents of terrorism. His great grandfather made a fortune in hosiery, according to the New York Times. Hey, you know, I don't, I don't care what I make a fortune in. Hosiery, light bulbs, you know, cow manure, whatever. His grandfather, Harry J. Katz, was a notorious libertine, described as the playboy prince of darkness with a multi million dollar trust fund. He claims to have slept with 4,000 women. Yes.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

What?

[Joe Getty]

This is the grandfather? Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

And ran a vanity publication whose poetry editor would go on to be known as the Unicorn Killer after murdering his ex girlfriend in 1977.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's quite the family lineage.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

So the younger Katz, Morris Katz father, David Bar Katz, is an award winning playwright best known for finding Philip Seymour Hoffman's dead body. How interesting, that trajectory from super successful driven businessman to perv to playwright to fake Marxist.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, real Marxist.

[Guest/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Rich kid basically accomplishing nothing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, exactly. Oh, I'm sorry, I almost left out Cat's mother, Julie Merberg, who's a prolific author of left wing picture books for preschool age children. Popular titles include My First Book of Feminism, My First Book of Feminism for Boys, Diversity Is a Superpower, and no, My First Book of Protest.

[Jack Armstrong]

Toddlers, I would hate you. You are a long day.

[Joe Getty]

Because you can't wait till these kids get to kindergarten to start indoctrinating them. The book includes a footnote explaining that Katz's publisher rejected the author's idea of using, quote, images of my penis instead of cartoon drawings. Oh, that's Katz himself. He tried to follow in his mother's footsteps by writing an illustrated guide to Puberty for Curious Boys. That doesn't at all seem groomy to me, but that. That's Cats. Let's make our way back to Daniel

[Guest/Commentator]

Moraf, who were grown in bats and had never done or said anything.

[Joe Getty]

Now, in contrast, how much of that is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is, you know, you shouldn't make fun of somebody's voice. That's what they were born with. How much is that? Just the way he was born. And how much of that is an affectation?

[Joe Getty]

100 affectation, you think? Please. Yeah, play it again.

[Jack Armstrong]

Who would do that?

[Guest/Commentator]

Who were grown in bats and had never done or said anything? Come on.

[Joe Getty]

He just wants to be the ultra effeminate intellectual male, you know, barely male, quote unquote.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's not the way I'm reading it.

[Joe Getty]

In contrast to his partner, cats. There is no contrast to cats. Moraff is a left wing activist with the V degrees from Brown and Yale and is called the mad scientist who helped recruit Platner because he wanted Democrats to nominate, quote, real human beings or crowded rats. He's the grandson of the guy who founded the toy stores that became Toys R Us.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

And served as the toy chain's first president.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yes. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So did he get fooled? The kid with the weird voice, did

[Joe Getty]

he get fooled by whom?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, because if he. If his. If his thing was we need to get real people. Well, was he fooled? Because Platner is not a real oyster farmer. He. Whatever the hell that is, and nobody'd ever heard that term in their life before he sold a few to his mom. I mean, so he's not a real person.

[Joe Getty]

Right. I think he just thought that he came across as one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, well, I'll buy that, but.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, here it is. I love this. This is actually. What's his. Andrew Stiles in the Washington Free Beacon. Given his pampered background, it's unclear what qualifies Moraf to assess whether someone or not. Whether or not someone is a, quote, unquote, real human being. There is also the glaring issue of his voice, and a feat it an effete, insufferable wine rarely encountered beyond the decidedly inhuman confines of elite graduate schools. It shouldn't be legal to sound like that.

[Guest/Commentator]

Who were grown in bats and had never done or said anything.

[Joe Getty]

Give me 81B. Michael.

[Jack Armstrong]

It shouldn't be legal to sound like that is pretty funny.

[Guest/Commentator]

I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in vats and had never done or said anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have a very different country.

[Jack Armstrong]

But so is this writer suggesting that lots of people sound like that in certain academic circles. Oh, my God. I can't imagine sitting around and not saying, what is going on here? Why is everybody talking like this? I remember talking like, what?

[Joe Getty]

Ages ago. One of us. I think it may have been me. It doesn't matter. Post the question on the air. Hey, gay guys, what is it with the lisping? I mean, lisping is literally a speech defect. And it has to do with the, you know, your formation of your. Your tongue and your teeth or maybe your hearing or, you know, whatever. Why do gay guys lisp like that? And we had gay guys say, it's just a cultural norm. It's kind of a signal. It's fine. And this guy's cultural norm is barely has even A little testosterone.

[Guest/Commentator]

I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in vast and had never done or said anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have a very different country.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you talk like a cartoon porcupine. That's what you decide to do.

[Joe Getty]

Morath reportedly like in Platner to Barack Obama in the early days of the campaign, didn't bother to subject the candidate to a normal vetting process and ill advised decision in respect. Along with his business partner and fiance Leanne Fan, Moraff was convinced that Platner was a historic figure destined to lead a revolution. And the New York Times columnist Matthew Iglesias praised Moraf as quote, a new force in politics specializing in populist outsiders.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Is it that hard to find somebody that is actually a working class person who believes what you believe that isn't a rapist, by the way, that would help.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, by the way, you know, I knew Nellie Bowles had said something about this that was worth mentioning. She absolutely has murdered the New York Times. The New York Times is now a zombie. It is dead because Nelly murdered them for the way they handled that rape accusation story.

[Jack Armstrong]

We talked about that a lot last week. Mark Halpern was huge on that. Like they need to answer for this. Why did they got the story is that CNN Jake Tapper was presented exactly the same information as the New York Times was. The New York Times decided to make it not a story you even remember happening, whereas CNN ended the guy's career, political career with it with the same information.

[Joe Getty]

Right, exactly. The New York Times essentially caught and killed the story, as they say. Well, we called it an inoculation story where they give you just a little dose of the truth so you build up an immunity to it, then the next time you hear it, you ignore it. But yeah, they buried the actual physical assault part as you guys were discussing. Downplayed it completely. And you know, some of the victims said, look, I got corroborating sources. Here are their names, here are their numbers they're willing to talk to. You never called them. They did not call them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely shameful.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I remember you counting the paragraphs at the time. It was 26 paragraphs before they got to the most exciting thing they were even willing to reveal. And they didn't real reveal the best stuff they had.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. And then Nelly goes on to talk about, for instance, Jodi Kanter of MeTooFame went on CNN to defend Platner and explained that what Platner did was not at all as bad as what Trump has done. And I quote, the way my colleagues reported on them were not like classic abuse allegations. They're mostly like quote, being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw. Quote, there was one allegation of crossing line physically, but I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than say the one that the ones that President Trump faced. This is a hashtag me too leader who ignores rape cuz it's her side, Stephen King who really needs to just shut up and write about unholy cars and killer clowns. So tell you what, if you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said let him without sin cast the first stone. And Nelly writes, I'm out of touch with straight male behavior. So someone just level with me here. All men don't rape.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

That's a rare thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, Nelly, it is. It's extremely rare and it's horrible. Wow. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, so where are things currently on that?

[Joe Getty]

He.

[Jack Armstrong]

He got out, but so they're gonna have a quickie primary or something to try to choose somebody. Yeah, I think he's gonna disappear into the dustbin of history. It'd be my guess. Lan Heechen disagreed with me and thought he had some staying power.

[Joe Getty]

Nelly Bowles writes, I'm not worried about Graham. He'll have a very successful second career on the podcast circuit. He'll re emerge suddenly with some new theories about who killed Charlie Kirk. Congratulations to Graham Platner on your upcoming Fortune.

[Guest/Commentator]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hope that's not true.

[Joe Getty]

The tough talking Oysterman. A regular guy.

[Guest/Commentator]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

How did the universe begin? That's our topic. Next segment. I came across this reading last night and then did a couple of questions to Grok and Chat GPT. I found this stuff fascinating, just absolutely fascinating. Probably heard it before but I'd forgotten it. So it was exciting anew about. About all kinds of things. So stay tuned for that. Also, can't wait to get an hour for General Goldberg. Really went out after the DSA and the way the mainstream media treats that party, the Democratic Socialists of America, in a way that they would never treat a conservative group.

[Joe Getty]

Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, for obvious reasons, but it's pretty interesting. So that'll be an hour for lots of stuff on the way.

[Joe Getty]

Missed that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I retweeted that. You should look at our Twitter thing. There's lots of fun stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. This is my favorite story of the day. I love the way it's written. So dopey. Peanut butter is typically more of a pantry staple than an art supply, but 800 pounds of the creamy spread are the centerpiece of a museum installation that opened on Thursday in the Netherlands in honor of the artist Wim T. Shippers, who died last month at 83. So this famous Dutch artist dies, and his lifelong dream had been what he called pindekazvlor, or peanut butter floor, which is a big octagon. Can't remember what shape doesn't matter. With like a foot deep of peanut butter on the floor of the art gallery. 3.2 pounds per square foot foot. The smooth kind, not the chunky kind. Must be spread as evenly as possible. According to the statement on the museum, you can follow the smell all the way from the atrium up to the exhibition in the third floor. He had dreamed since the 60s Jack of this peanut butter floor art,

[Jack Armstrong]

but

[Joe Getty]

hadn't managed to pull it off during his lifetime.

[Jack Armstrong]

What a load of crap. You know, I've really tried to be a woman.

[Joe Getty]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Said the museum director. It's both a parody of art and an invitation to think about art differently.

[Donald Trump (quoted)]

All right,

[Jack Armstrong]

I talked about this a while back. I've tried to be way more open minded than I've ever been about abstract art. And I've watched a couple of videos about it with people explaining it and I'm trying to. And I went to the MoMA in San Francisco and looked at some art and. But okay, so I'm. I'm willing to grant that some of it has some merit and maybe requires some talent. But man, there's a lot of it that is just crap and is just a ruse. I swear to God, I don't care if you. If. If all it is is a big block of red and you say no. It demonstrate the simplicity of art. It's the opposite of the effort. Now that's just crap. Don't give me that. It's just crap.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, my peanut butter on the floor Fine arts major. My Easter money was. He seemed to enjoy it, though. He took a performance art class and explained to me some of the, you know, performance art that the folks in the class had done. And some of it seemed utterly ridiculous to me, but some of it, I thought, well, okay, I get that. That's okay. That is actually art. But this is my favorite sentence from the story and one of the reasons I brought it up. Schippers, the dead artist fellow who's buried just in the woods unmarked grave by his friends at his request, which is interesting. Schippers was a beloved and eccentric cultural figure in the Netherlands, where he produced provocative television shows, wrote poetry, composed music, and once directed a play performed entirely by German shepherds. Oh, my God, I'd pay a dollar to see that. You know, there was more barking than I expected. You know, it's. Oh my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

This link.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, hang on. That's on my computer. It's. It's a YouTube video of his. His quote unquote play. Going to the Dogs is the title of it. Good Lord. This guy was a beloved figure in the Netherlands. You know why? Because of the American security umbrel that has covered Europe since World War II and enabled them to put on German shepherd plays and smear peanut butter on the floors of their art galleries and call it art.

[Jack Armstrong]

I had tickets for the show. Front row seats on a Friday night, but it got canceled. Please.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. He performed entirely.

[Jack Armstrong]

I went the second night. It was open, but the. The lead actor had the cone on and it just was hard to enjoy.
