Episode Overview

This episode of Armstrong & Getty dives into the controversy over the new U.S.–Iran deal and its political fallout, with a sharp look at how messaging and truth-stretching play into public understanding. The hosts also explore the broader consequences of AI’s growing integration in daily life—especially around resumes and writing—before wrapping with lighter fare, including Vegas trends and a political campaign focused on masculinity. With the signature wit and skepticism Armstrong & Getty are known for, the episode tackles politics, technology, and culture, questioning where lines should be drawn—both in policy and personal conduct.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The U.S.–Iran Deal: "Who's Being Honest?"

(03:24 – 09:19, 13:05 – 13:57, 27:25 – 28:43, 39:02 – 48:52)

• Republican Skepticism:

  • Ted Cruz and J.D. Vance (now Vice President) argue that giving Iran access to billions is a dangerous move, suggesting Trump is poorly advised.

    “Giving billions of dollars to the fratic lunatics who want to murder is not a good idea. I think the president unfortunately, is receiving bad advice on this deal.” — Jack Armstrong (03:24)

  • Hosts note the Republican talking point is now blaming bad advisers, not the president's own judgment.

• The "No U.S. Money" Fallacy:

  • Vance and Trump claim no U.S. cash is going to Iran, calling reports of payments “fake news.”

    “The United States isn't giving up a cent of money to Iran, a point President Trump is echoing on Truth Social.” — News Reporter (04:41)

  • Armstrong calls out the rhetoric:

    “JD Vance thinks you're stupid…they’re conflating Iran getting money with U.S. money…they’re getting lots and lots of money from a variety of sources, including oil revenue.” (05:07)

  • Wall Street Journal’s editorial cited: sanctions relief is a real benefit to Iran, with oil exports starting up again (05:37).

• Geopolitical Consequences:

  • Iran’s Supreme Leader Mustaba Khamenei claims the U.S. negotiated out of desperation, asserting Iran has the leverage (07:25, 13:57, 47:52).
  • Discussion of U.S.–Israel relations: the deal could drive a wedge between the two allies. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah stall negotiations, allowing Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed (12:31, 27:29, 46:53).

    “Israel and Hezbollah could fully re-engage easily today. And then J.D. Vance and Trump are going to come out and absolutely badmouth Netanyahu in Israel for blowing up this deal. And it’s going to drive a wedge between the United States and Israel in a way that I don’t think has ever happened.” — Jack Armstrong (12:31)

  • Ongoing issues: delays, ceasefires, and strategic messaging as both sides maneuver for advantage.

• Notable Quotes:

  • “We hold all the cards. No, we don’t. We do not hold... If we held all the cards, we would not be making this deal.” — Jack Armstrong (06:53)
  • “[With] billions of dollars, they're going to build rockets and try to get a nuclear weapon, is the thing.” — Jack Armstrong (05:07)

---

2. AI & The Future of Human Skills: “How Much Is Too Much?”

(13:32 – 24:03, 24:44 – 26:45)

• AI in Everyday Life:

  • Armstrong’s son uses AI to compose his resume; prompts the hosts to contemplate the implications of AI-written documents (17:10).
  • Joe Getty expresses both temptation and discomfort with AI drafting speeches or important writing:

    “That temptation is unbelievable...but...drudgery makes you a better writer. I’m so torn by this stuff.” (18:09)

  • Armstrong questions the necessity of writing as a fundamental skill if AI is now the standard tool (19:07).

    “Is the ability to write a skill that everybody needs to have? I mean, I want to say yes, but I'm not sure I can back that up.” — Jack Armstrong (19:32)

  • Discussion of skill atrophy: both Armstrong and a quoted professor note erosion of writing skills among themselves and students due to AI reliance (20:11).

• Societal Consequences:

  • Getty warns that reliance on AI could make society collectively “easier to lead astray” (21:57), comparing intellectual decline to physical laziness.

    “People who are that unused to...exercising their intellectual muscles will be incredibly easy to lead astray. I mean, they're already...just look at the number of folks voting for socialism right now.” — Joe Getty (21:57)

  • The concept of “hand-crafted writing” might become an antiquarian niche, much like blacksmithing.

    “Crafting a clever sentence completely on your own is going to become the sort of thing that you have a booth next to the guy who makes horseshoes from scratch at the county fair.” — Jack Armstrong (21:04)

• Where Do You Draw the Line?

  • The hosts debate what is “acceptable” for AI use: resumes okay, eulogies and creative writing not.

    “Where do you draw the line? I say? A resume. Yes. A creative writing. No. Keynote address...half and half.” — Joe Getty (23:10) “Eulogy at a close loved one's funeral?...Not an effing chance.” — Joe Getty (23:31)

    • They riff on the horror of typing “AI, he’s close to me, he died, write something for me,” finding the idea despicable (23:35).

---

3. Culture, Masculinity and Political Campaign Tactics

(32:37 – 35:08)

• The Texas Senate race features attacks on candidates’ “manliness,” open speculations on masculinity and sexual orientation, and the use of AI deepfakes for campaign ads.
• The Paxton campaign deploys nicknames like “Low T Talarico”; even allies deploy barbed comments to question opponents' strength:

  “Some people call him Six Gender Jimmy, others refer to him simply as Low T.” — Joe Getty (34:11)

  • The campaign uses AI to spread misinformation, such as a video deepfake of Talarico in a dress singing about transgender children.

---

4. Other Noteworthy Segments

a. Changing Las Vegas (35:08 – 38:43)

• Vegas has shifted from being a bargain “booze and gambling” destination to an upscale, event-driven, family-friendly spot; hotel pricing is now among the highest in America, with affluent guests comprising a large share.

b. Hunter Biden’s New Job (29:12 – 30:37)

• Hunter Biden takes an advisory and exec role at an ultra-luxury rehab as part of efforts to handle legal debts.

  “Hunter Biden is $17 million in debt...they touted his lived experience and professional insight from his struggles with addiction.” — Joe Getty (30:08)

c. Security Risks of Smart Devices (39:02 – 40:28)

• Discussion about the security vulnerabilities of cheap electronics like digital picture frames—potential booby traps for corporate and private networks.

d. Starbucks & "Icegate" (44:33 – 44:58)

• Viral TikTok trend: Calling out how Starbucks fills cups with mostly ice and little drink.

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

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Joe Getty]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Giving billions of dollars to the fratic lunatics who want to murder is not a good idea. I think the president unfortunately, is receiving bad advice on this deal. That's Senator Ted Cruz while walking through a hallway. Giving billionaires to lunatics who want to kill us is not a good idea. The president is receiving bad advice.

[Joe Getty]

How many billionaires are we giving them?

[Jack Armstrong]

Did I say billionaires?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it doesn't matter. Everybody knew what you meant. That is the mantra among Republicans. Not that the president has terrible judgment and gave up. It's that he's getting terrible advice. JD Vance is twisting him and giving him terrible advice.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I think this is Trump's idea. Anyway, let's go through this Lucas Tomlinson report from Fox. Pretty interesting hits on a number of points, including what J.D. vance had to say yesterday.

[Joe Getty]

We have all the cards.

[News Reporter]

Vice President J.D. vance insists the United States is getting everything it wanted out of the Iran deal.

[Joe Getty]

Their nuclear program has been completely destroyed.

[News Reporter]

Vance says he's confident the Trump administration can lift sanctions on Iran without going to Congress for approval. Has this message to critics who insist Iran will receive billions in exchange for Trump's signature.

[Joe Getty]

The United States isn't giving up a cent of money to Iran, a point

[News Reporter]

President Trump is echoing on Truth Social. There is no $300 billion payment to Iran by the U.S. that's fake news. All there is for the U.S. is success, lower oil prices and victory. Check out the stock market Democrat propaganda at play.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, as I said earlier, JD Vance thinks you're stupid. That's my. That's my current theory.

[Joe Getty]

J.D.

[Jack Armstrong]

vance thinks you're stupid. They're conflating constantly, the Iran getting money with getting US Money and pretending that when they say forcefully, they're not getting any U.S. money. So that's a lie. No, no, no, no. They're getting lots and lots of money from a variety of sources, including oil revenue. That's what people are worried about. That's the billions of dollars that Ted Cruz is complaining about. And you see, if they get billions of dollars, they're going to build rockets and try to get a nuclear weapon, is the thing.

[Joe Getty]

Wall Street Journal editorial board. The MoU commits the US to give substantial sanctions relief upfront and throughout negotiations. And they cite point 10. The US undertakes that immediately after the signing the. And until the termination of sanctions, the Department of Treasury will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, etc.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's already started. That's already started. The strait is open. Money is already flowing into Iran. And the nuclear talks were supposed to get today and begin today, and they got postponed.

[Joe Getty]

Well, what a shock.

[News Reporter]

Why.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why do you think J.D. vance in particular is. Is flat out lying to people like this? Honestly, I think he thinks we're stupid and aren't catching on to the ruse. Own it. Why can't he just say out loud, whatever, this is the best deal we could get? I think we delayed their nuclear program for a long time and that was

[Joe Getty]

the goal, but that we have to back off because the costs were getting too high. They have decided that would be too costly politically.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't like being lied to. I don't like being treated like I'm a. I am a. But I don't like be treated like it.

[Joe Getty]

Two different questions.

[Jack Armstrong]

Two different questions.

[Joe Getty]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

And the. And the first thing he said there, we hold all the cards. No, we don't. We do not hold. If we held all the cards, we would not be making this deal. That includes, by the way, Iran and Oman controlling the straight and charging tolls or closing it when they want to or whatever. That's part of the deal. That's not the way it was before the war started.

[Joe Getty]

And we'll work all that out once the money starts flowing to Iran. More from the irgc. Yeah, more.

[Jack Armstrong]

More controversial stuff from Lucas Tomlinson.

[News Reporter]

Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mustaba Khamenei issued a rare public statement after signing the agreement, read by a news anchor. It was the American president who, out of desperation, used all kinds of leverage to bring this about.

[Joe Getty]

They certainly recognize that the United States has great leverage. Will that ultimately lead to a change in behavior? I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't like the new ayatollah saying we got the leverage and they caved. I don't like him saying that because I think he's right.

[Joe Getty]

Watch your mouth or I'll blow your other leg off.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Huh?

[Joe Getty]

But Trump won't. He won't do it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, Eileen.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then finally, this Vance also has

[News Reporter]

a blunt message to critics of the deal. In Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet, warning they should not be attacking the only powerful ally they have left.

[Joe Getty]

Anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation. That country is in advance.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lecturing Israel, not lecturing Iran. Iran gets rockets. Why does Israel get a rockets and Iran doesn't get rockets? That's not fair. Hey, Israel, knock off the fighting back against Hezbollah. Just because they tried to blow up a school bus the other day doesn't mean you should attack them.

[Joe Getty]

You're screwing up our deal. Well, not good.

[Jack Armstrong]

I find it embarrassing, but none of that matters. I don't care about embarrassment. I don't care about how it affects the midterms. I don't care about any of that or stuff. Is Iran gonna get a nuclear weapon? We slowed it down, obviously. I mean, the bombing helped and everything like that, but the getting the enriched uranium out of there seems to just be gone as an issue whatever to that.

[Joe Getty]

They're gonna negotiate that in 60 days or 120 or never.

[Jack Armstrong]

The anywhere anytime inspections that the Obama deal didn't have that we were going to get. Where, where, where's that? That's going to be agreed to in the next 60 days. Why would Iran agree to something when they've already gotten what they wanted, the relief and the money and the straight open and all that?

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. Yeah. The blockade lifted. Now I, as I said before, it's very, very rare indeed in life where somebody lies to you over and over again and says all sorts of stuff that's just not true. But it's for your own good. You realize in the end, it's, it's, it's a rarity in life. So anyway, we'll see. We'll all find out together.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hope Marco Rubio writes a book someday explaining what it was like standing there as he listened to the President or Vice President explain why Iran gets to keep their rocket making capabilities. Yeah, no, that. All that stuff we said about eliminating their rocket industry, we were just joshing.

[Joe Getty]

Maybe he mentions that in his successful 2028 presidential run part of his campaign.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. I don't know where the public is on this. I don't know where most Republican voters are on this.

[Joe Getty]

Two to one question is where are Republican primary voters on this?

[America 250 Announcer]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I don't know. I don't. I really don't have any idea. Do you have a guess? I think my guess would be the average person doesn't just wants the war to be over, gas prices to go back. They don't. They don't care about anything beyond that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, the core Republican voter. Interesting question. I bet there's a fair divide there because a lot of core voters are our traditional Republican hawks and a lot of core voters these days are more isolationist, younger MAGA types.

[Jack Armstrong]

So certainly a possible prediction is because the reason the talks got delayed today was because Israel was bombing Hezbollah point number one on the 14 point or eight point or whatever it is. Memorandum of underwhelming. What did you call it?

[Joe Getty]

The memorandum of underwhelming.

[Jack Armstrong]

Point number one was everybody's got to stop fighting. And Israel bombed Hezbollah overnight. And so that's why Iran said, no, we're not going to talk until that ends, which is going to be their excuse going forward. But Israel and Hezbollah could fully re engage easily today. And then J.D. vance and Trump are going to come out and absolutely badmouth Netanyahu in Israel for blowing up this deal. And it's going to drive a wedge between the United States and Israel in a way that I don't think has ever happened.

[Joe Getty]

Is that Iran's main goal or is that one of their precious goals? Right now they're super excited about it. We're going to divide the US And

[Jack Armstrong]

Israel certainly could be. Thank you.

[Joe Getty]

Not only the US but the friendliest president to Israel in generations, and they've all been pretty friendly because they're an incredibly important ally. But Trump was like the Israeli, you know, favorite president for a while.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I got an AI question. My son used AI on his resume yesterday and I was wondering about how much is too much or should you at all that question that a lot of people are wrestling with. Everybody coming out of college has got to be wondering about it. Anywho, lots of stuff to talk about. Hope you can stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Boyd In Florida, the Pittsburgh International Airport won an architecture award this week for its canopy style design modeled after a nearby mountain range, while Newark won for

[Joe Getty]

its power outlet covered in masking paper. Okay,

[Jack Armstrong]

so my son was putting together a resume. I've heard other young people talk about how they had AI do their resume. I guess it's a pretty popular thing right now. Oh yeah, AI is really good at it. And so my I told my son I wanted to take a look at it before he went and dropped it off at a particular business. And a couple things that I wanted to change and this and that.

[Rob Gronkowski]

But

[Jack Armstrong]

has anybody figured out for sure how much using AI is good for you and how much is a bad idea? With the background that lots of smart people seem to be saying, you got to embrace AI and become good at using AI to have a future, that's going to be the future. Using AI is going to be the future of any job. So doing it on your own and staying away from it is doesn't make sense. So I don't, I don't know where I am on that.

[Joe Getty]

Well, more importantly, did he pad his resume? Did he claim to have multiple degrees from Harvard like Joe Biden should have done that. Yeah, yeah, boy, I would. Doing a resume is such drudgery. But you know, I've been working on a couple of things lately that I've consulted AI and if I was, say, I was invited to give the keynote address at some, you know, gathering of podcasters about, you know, something, am I going to crank out the rough draft myself from scratch, or am I going to let AI do the heavy lifting and give it to me and think, yeah, let's tweak it a little bit. Especially if it's one of those systems that can study other things I've written and said and do it quote unquote in my voice. That temptation is unbelievable. Well, on the other hand, that, that I think I use the word drudgery. It makes you a better writer. So I'm so torn by this stuff.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you need to be a better writer? Will anybody be writing anything? Why would you?

[Joe Getty]

Well, just let the computers do it for us. I'm horrified by that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm not as good at making horseshoes because I don't need to. I just go to the store and buy them. Because you don't need to have the school that skill.

[Joe Getty]

What of the village smithy?

[Jack Armstrong]

It's not a skill that's needed anymore.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lots of skills that aren't needed anymore have gone away. Is the ability to write a skill that everybody needs to have? I mean, I want to say yes, but I'm not sure I can back that up.

[Joe Getty]

Maybe it's pride or something. I don't want to be a human being who grunts monosyllabic instructions to a computer that then crafts my communication. I'm horrif by that idea.

[Jack Armstrong]

Isn't the talent at this point though, looking at what it spits out and deciding whether that's what you want. Tweak it this way or that way. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

That study came out. 10 minutes worth of AI makes you. Your brain less active.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I mentioned smart and aggressive. I mentioned my college professor friend who said he has already seen his skills atrophy and when seen the skills of his students atrophy because of AI Already? Yeah, it's just. It's, it's. It's happening. It's gonna happen. I don't, I don't. I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

I.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody knows.

[Rob Gronkowski]

I realize.

[Jack Armstrong]

So it's, it's, it just.

[Joe Getty]

It shakes up such fundamental parts of being human in a way that like your, your blacksmith example doesn't. That's a very specific skill. This is like one of the most fundamental skills a human being can have. And it applies to everything they do in their entire life. Communicating effectively. And, and if you prize good writing and I do and crafting a clever sentence, it's, it's very disturbing to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think writing and crafting a clever sentence completely on your own is going to become the sort of thing that you have a booth next to the guy who makes horseshoes from scratch at the county fair. Look, there's a guy that crafts sentences from scratch.

[Joe Getty]

Let's watch him.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, because everybody else is doing it with AI and then may we be

[Joe Getty]

led dumb to the slaughter by whatever autocrat or technocrat comes along because we won't have the intellectual capacity to. To resist it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if we will or not. One of the difficult things is that we people of our generation and, well, I guess anybody who's over the age of maybe 30, we grew up having to do everything our own. And this is all new to us. But for the people that start their lives, start school with AI and never have to write a term paper or a paragraph or anything like that, what will they be like? We don't really know, I suppose.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Right. I. And I'm not sure there's any fighting this, which is why I find it so depressing. I think people who are that unused to excel, exercising their intellectual muscles will be incredibly easy to lead astray. I mean, they're already. Humans are already incredibly easy to lead astray. Look at the number of folks voting for socialism right now. There could be no worse idea, politically speaking, than socialism. It's idiotic. It never works, it always fails. And yet people are voting for it in droves. Imagine when they. With their soft, lazy minds that let the computer do all the work. And the comparison of physical muscles isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Those people will. It'll be effortless to get those sheep into whatever corral is designed for them.

[Jack Armstrong]

What percentage of resumes received do you suppose are written by AI Right now?

[Joe Getty]

All of them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Startpage Ad Voice]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

And I would do it in a second. Like I said, it's a dreadful task.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that and why would you compete against. Why would you take honor and. I'm going to write this myself and compete against the people that AI Send them. The more perfect one.

[Joe Getty]

Where do you draw the line? I say? A resume. Yes. A creative writing. No. Keynote address to some group? Half and half. I mean, is it something I'm crazy passionate about, or is it advertising revenue? In the era of Internet competition, I can do the hard work on that one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Eulogy at a close loved one's funeral?

[Joe Getty]

Not an effing chance.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're not going to AI it.

[Joe Getty]

Probably not.

[Jack Armstrong]

Say AI he's close to me. He died. He kind of liked golf and fishing. Write something for me.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, he's a nice fellow. Very generous. Yeah. Oh, I just remembered he loved dogs. Throw that into. Oh, that feels despicable to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

People used to make fun of the way he dances. Make a joke about that.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I hate that. I don't like the modern world. I'll be in the woods if you need me.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know that sounds horrible when you say it out loud, doesn't it?

[Julian Edelman]

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. As a fellow dude, do you ever get that not so fresh feeling in your butt? That's because you're probably using the dry stuff to wipe wet. Extra large flushable dude Wipes get what toilet paper leaves behind in your behind. You wouldn't clean the tail end of your truck with dry paper towels, so why would you wipe with dry toilet paper? Wetter just cleans better. With dude wipes there are no more dingleberries, no more itch and irritation, just a deep down the seam. Confident clean. Plus, unlike baby wipes, dude wipes are extra big for adult hands. You're not a baby so keep them on hand so you get nothing on your hands. And speaking of on hand, dude wipes come in different scents and pack sizes, including a single use on the go pack that you can take anywhere. For that home field advantage, stop being an A hole to your B hole. Drop the toilet paper. Available on Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean pants down.

The participating U.S. taco Bell locations for a limited time only while supplies last contact store for availability. I got a breaking news. It's around the war in Iran. I'm going to tell you what it is. Then you all got to make me shut up about it because obviously I could talk about this all day. Michael, turn off my microphone if you have to.

[Joe Getty]

Right when news breaks, the donkey brays.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is from the Financial Times. In a broadcast to ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said the waterway will remain closed until Israel withdraws from Lebanon and other terms of the agreement are met.

[Joe Getty]

Well, this was fun, wasn't it? You remember the whole MOU period? Those were good days. Two of them. Oh, boy. It's like it's parody.

[Jack Armstrong]

It really is.

[Joe Getty]

All right, moving along as vowed a little bingo bango bongo, as we say. A bunch of stories worth at least touching on briefly. I rarely find myself in agreement with the Broadway Democrats. It's a New York political activist group that, as they say, quote, we usually support the younger, more progressive candidate, but we cannot do this in the 13th district congressional race. And it is not a close call. They are refusing to endorse it. Darieliza Avila Chevalier, who's the Democratic Socialist being backed by Mamdani for Congress. She point blank refused to condemn hamas in the October 7 massacre. Here's the quote from these progressive folks. That's because this guy's chief challenger refuses to condemn Hamas or anything about its October 7th and hundreds of other murderous assaults on Israeli people. The execution of its own political dissonance, its theocratic view of government and what a society is, its misogyny. It's homophobia. It's racism. These statements about Chevalier's position are not mere rumors. At our own endorsement meeting, she point blank refused to condemn hamas in its October 7 attacks and turned the question into yet another attack on Israel. Good for y'.

[Jack Armstrong]

All.

[Joe Getty]

Appreciate that. Yeah. Hunter Biden has a new gig. He's said to be $17 million in debt. Whoa.

[Jack Armstrong]

How do you even get $17 million in debt? I wouldn't think you could. I wouldn't think you could. I would think after the first three, nobody would be giving you money anymore.

[Joe Getty]

I think if you live the high flying Biden lifestyle, it doesn't take very long at all. Might be a lot of legal costs too. But an ultra luxury drug and alcohol rehab center nestled in the Hollywood Hills has fired. Has hired Rather former first son Hunter Biden is an advisor and executive director of its charitable foundation. A new gig that could help the convicted felon whittle down millions of dollars in unpaid legal bills and other debts. Peak Path Health hired him this week.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wonder why? Why? What do they think they're going to get out of that? The Biden can't help them anymore. Can they help anybody anymore?

[Joe Getty]

They touted, quote, his lived experience and professional insight from his struggles with addiction to crack, alcohol and other substances. The announcement comes during a meaningful milestone in Hunter Biden's personal journey as he celebrates seven years of sobriety this month. Said Peak Path. That probably figured whatever salary was, it's is, it's, it's worth the publicity they're getting from it. Well, anyway, I don't need the guy to starve to death if he gets a job. Great. Pay back your debts.

[Jack Armstrong]

USA vs Australia today noon west coast time. Very, very exciting. Somehow I just came across John Cleese of Monty Python fame. If you're old enough to remember Monty

[Joe Getty]

Python, Faulty Towers, probably the best situation comedy in American history.

[Jack Armstrong]

He retweeted an old.

[Joe Getty]

It was British. Sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

He retweeted an old Monty Python bit around the World cup soccer that I'd forgotten. Germany taking on Greece. And the German team was made up of Schopenhauer, Kegel, Hagel, rather Nietzsche. All these people. And the Greeks were Aristotle and Plato and all these people and immediately they blow the whistle and all they do is walk around talking and thinking, yeah,

[Joe Getty]

oh man, that's the subtle humor of Monty Python. Yeah, no kidding. And then they'd hit somebody in the head with a big fish. Yeah, you probably heard yesterday. I know we mentioned it once or twice. Luigi Mangione, the cold blooded executioner of a guy whose business he didn't think was very good, offered a psychiatric defense and later that day abruptly reversed course just after the judge had made public the unusual strategy in a single sentence letter to the presiding judge. The lawyers wrote that at the time they were withdrawing A defense in which Mangione would have argued he killed UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson due to an emotional disturbance. Nobody's quite sure why. I guessed that they talked dope Mangione into this, and then later he regretted his giving his ascent because he thinks he's a brave crusader for something. I don't know. Best guess? Who knows? Moving along Texas Senate race turns into a battle over who is more of a man.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, boy.

[Joe Getty]

This is the Ken Paxton James Talarico race.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like you got to bring out some truck tires and see who can turn it over the most times.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think. Well, the one guy's kind of old. But anyway, it's. It's all about appealing to Hispanic male voters who care about masculinity and, and Talarico is a weedy little lefty, girly man, frankly. And I'm. I'm no fan of Paxton either. I thought it was terrible that they got rid of Cornyn in favor of Paxton left little girly man. The thinking among Paxton's aids is they can successfully cast Talarico is not strong enough to represent Texas and Washington. Machismo is important to these voters to know who's a fighter and who's weak, said his campaign advice.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which is okay because it's Hispanics. If it's regular white people who. Who prize manliness, then that's some sort of toxics this or that.

[Joe Getty]

But yeah, exactly. Other cultures are allowed to do it. So some of this is at least slightly amusing. Excuse me. Stupid allergies. Even before winning the Republican primary last month, Paxton's campaign began calling Tellarico Low T after testing out some other derogatory nicknames. Some people know him as Tofu Talarico. Some people call him Six Gender Jimmy, Paxton said with a smile to cheers at his primary runoff victory party. Others refer to him simply as Low T. Talarico.

[Jack Armstrong]

I Low T Talarico is a pretty good tag. That's a good.

[Joe Getty]

Just low T. Yeah. Yeah. A major political action committee supporting Paxton has put out ads saying low T Talarico too weak for Texas Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Always, always good for a kind and. And, you know, even handed, quote, post thoughtful. Posted on social media calling Tellarico is the party's first transgender Senate candidate. He's not, by the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Others posting on social media speculated about tell Rico's orientation until his girlfriend's identity became public.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that.

[Joe Getty]

That's right.

[Jack Armstrong]

He had talked about having a girlfriend. Nobody'd ever seen the girlfriend for some Reason that became a scandal and then he had to, like, introduce the girlfriend online. And that was a pushback against the fact that he was secretly gay. Oh, these are the times we live in.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. In a recent Fox News interview, Representative Brandon Gill of Texas, a Paxton ally called Teller. Eco, effeminate and straight.

[Jack Armstrong]

What.

[Joe Getty]

What is Barely straight. He's a wobbler. He could go two glasses of chardonnay and he's, you know, caressing your mustache. Citizens for Sanity, a Trump aligned political action committee recently bought an AI Deep fake ad showing Tal Rico in a dress reminiscent of the Sound of Music singing about transgender children, which he hadn't done.

[Jack Armstrong]

Put on a dressing thing about transgender children.

[Joe Getty]

It was AI. Although what did. Somebody asked him, what do you care about other than, you know, blah, blah, blah, and he said, transgender children. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about right now. Yeah, top priority. Anyway, good luck with that low T. That's too serious. Oh, I thought this was interesting. I remember back when you were childless and carefree and traveled a lot and lived, you know, a fun lifestyle while I was raising kids, which was wonderful. But you used to go to Vegas now and again. Yeah, that was back when it was like a bargain vacation. Hotel rooms were really inexpensive. Buffets were cheap or free food, drinks, because it was all about gambling revenue. So they just wanted to get you there. Boy, has that changed. It is upscale, very expensive, event driven destination now. Hotel rates in the last seven, eight years have risen faster than any other city in America, up 28% from 2019. Oh, back in 2019, 28% of people earned six figures or more. 28% of people who visited Las Vegas, now it's 75%.

[News Reporter]

Whoa.

[Jack Armstrong]

Part of that is inflation, but that's something, you know, Las Vegas is the number two family vacation destination in America behind Orlando. It's not just, you know, boozing and strip clubs. It's in fact, it's not mostly that. It's mostly all kinds of different stuff, like, I don't know, we go to Mandalay Bay and use the wave pool and then go out to that cool race car thing they got outside of town where you can sit in Ferraris and stuff like that, that I haven't taken my kids to a single strip club.

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're missing out. But yeah. So anyway, you know what they got

[Jack Armstrong]

there now that I haven't attended? The Evil Knievel Museum, which used to be in Kansas, I think. And my both my brothers had been to it and said it's awesome, but they Moved it to Vegas. So I got to do that next time.

[Joe Getty]

They got to display all his broken bones like he's St. Peter or something. Yeah, Evil Knievel who used to hang out and drink in a motorhome in a parking lot next to the driving range. One of my favorite golf courses.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, really?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was widely known. Hey, that's Evel Knievels rv. I never saw him because I was generally on my way to play golf. I wasn't lurking, waiting to catch a glimpse of the great motorcycle jumper. But yeah, yeah, that's what they say. Anyway, moving along, we got time for one more. Let's see what's kind of fun and life affirming. That's too serious. I don't know. You got anything?

[Jack Armstrong]

If it turns out to be true that Iran has announced the straight is

[News Reporter]

closed,

[Jack Armstrong]

that is going to be a really, really big deal. I'll try to nail that down. See if there's more than just that one source.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Oh, I, I know. There was one thing I wanted to. While you're looking at that, we were talking about how lower priced American consumer electronics, a lot of them, millions of them, have like backdoor software installed on them and you had no idea. And I was looking for a list of products and I never found the list of brand names and stuff, but one of the main offenders were digital picture frames.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, really?

[Joe Getty]

That were.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't have one, but yeah. Interesting.

[Joe Getty]

And then. So where, where is that? The way it works is you got an infected, you know, like picture frame or video streaming device could be used to hack into your mobile phone because of the interaction between them. And if that phone found its way to a bring your own device corporate network, that could put a lot of confidential information at risk. So not only are they used as like proxy computers for cyber attacks, but they're also like step by step, like lily padding their way to the stuff that they're really looking for. It's just having created a digital world. Can we insure it? Can we protect it? Can we secure it?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, so far, no. No, no is the answer to that.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's new news on the Supreme Court ruling that came out the other day. That was nine zero, by the way. Nine nothing. I. I missed that. I guess at the time. Anytime there's a 9 nothing really ruling, you got to wonder what the heck was going on before.

[Joe Getty]

You should listen to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

I.

[Joe Getty]

Is it the gun one? The stoned gun guy?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, the stone gun one, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you don't you don't have to be stoned while you're shooting a gun. That's not really the you certainly shouldn't be. No, it's not a good idea. That and other stuff on the way. Stay here.

went to Starbucks today and this is

[Jack Armstrong]

how my drink came.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Look how much ice. So we're gonna see how much drink is actually in this.

[Jack Armstrong]

When I take the ice out, look

[Karen Kilgariff]

how much ice is in there. That's how much was in our drink.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you've been noticing the Starbucks drinks are mainly ice now, you are not alone. There's actually an online trend where people pretend to apply to Starbucks and all they do is fill up a cup with ice and a little bit of coffee.

[Joe Getty]

Look how many likes this has here.

[Jack Armstrong]

325,000. So many people realize that Starbucks is a scam. They are robbing us. All right. I always wondered that about iced coffee drinks. You get an iced coffee drink and it's a cup full of ice with a little bit of coffee in there. I always think I I needed coffee. So yeah, anyhow, not, not very important there. But I don't know if it's a scandal that's rocking America. This has all happened in just the last couple of hours. So I went to Open Source and Intelligence, Defender, Financial Times, couple different outlets.

[News Reporter]

So

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll start here. Joe and I made a bet, $10 bet at the beginning of the week. I bet 10 $10 that the deal would not be signed on Friday. Like Trump was talking about it it and I'm not even sure who won the bet. That's how confusing this whole thing is because they Trump signed the deal while he was in France and Emmanuel Macron gives him a big high five and shaking hands and smiling And I thought,

[Joe Getty]

what is this all about?

[Jack Armstrong]

And then the Iranians did, or they claimed they did, then they claimed they didn't sign the deal. And then it was supposed to be. The ceremony of the signing in front of the world was supposed to happen today. But overnight, while you were sleeping, Israel and Hezbollah started firing at each other. That's the number one point in the agreement of the cease of the, of the deal, the to end the war is that those hostilities cease. Well, the hostilities ceased, ceasing started again, and Iran said, okay, we're not going to the, we're not going to show up to the signing. And we'd already started down the road towards sending our people, including JD Vance, but we had to pull out because that would be very embarrassing to have JD Vance show up to an empty room and the Iranians don't show up to the signing.

[Joe Getty]

Stood up at the altar.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that would be pretty darn rough. So then Israel and this happened first. So Iran announced the strait is closed again. Straight is closed again. It had been open for just a couple of days, but the straight is now closed again because Israel and Hezbollah are still firing each other. Israel and Lebanon and Hezbollah announced a ceasefire four hours ago. As we're recording this, four hours ago, it was announced Israel and Hezbollah announced a ceasefire. In the hours since then, they've continued shooting at each other. So Iran says the strait is still closed. So that's where we are now. Israel and Hezbollah are still shooting at each other even though they announced the ceasefire four hours ago and the strait is closed again. Oh, and more importantly than that, so the ayatollah, the new ayatollah, who we blew off one of his legs and blew out one of his eyes, he said, yeah, the President Trump signed to this because we forced him to. He was in a position where he had no other choice. Trump did not like that, of course. So Trump put out a truth social post saying we didn't meet out of desperation. Iran did. They are finished in all caps. We'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not 10 cents. They are getting going to get lots of money.

[Joe Getty]

Or did we put the naval blockade back on or never really lifted it because it's about the blockade, not the straight as far as Iran's concerned.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good question. Well, yeah. Well, Iran's not allowing it. Iran has the leverage.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump wants the strait open so that the world economy will get fixed.

[Joe Getty]

Two things real quickly. Iran is clearly trying to divide the US And Israel. Remember, Hezbollah is Iran they are trying to do that. That's their goal. Secondly, the Ayatollah also said, I don't like this deal much. I'm letting you sign it, but it'll probably blow up in our faces.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh really?

[Joe Getty]

Yep.

[News Reporter]

Wow.
