broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. It's over. Believe it Nick Fans, for the first time in 27 years the new York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals. The dream season continues and hopes of ending a decades long championship drought are very much alive. So whether you follow the NBA or not, you're going to get tired of hearing about the New York Knicks because the all the media comes out of New York and they're all going to talk endlessly about it and they're all jumping on the bandwagon, et cetera, et cetera. The knicks have won 11 straight in the playoffs. In the playoffs. 11 and oh since they lost the first two games and then 11 straight. However, I got a couple nuggets for you. The last time somebody went 11 straight going into the finals it was the Magic Johnson Cream Abdul Jabbar Lakers. Then they got swept by the bad boys Detroit pistons. So winning 11 straight doesn't necessarily mean you of course if you're a Warriors fan, you remember they went 15 and oh in the playoffs and that great 2017 team. Anywho, I thought this was kind of interesting non sports related to this that the when the games went to Cleveland after playing in New York they went to Cleveland. That's who got swept the somehow the Cavs organization or whoever went out of their way to make sure Timothy Chalamet couldn't sit in the front row. Him or any of the other big stars. And Timothy Chalamet has become the focus of like that celebrity bench thing there that where they sit on the front row and cheer like crazy. Him and his Kardashian girlfriend but they made sure he had to sit in the second row.
Jack Armstrong
That sounds very un American. Very now North Korea ish to me
Joe Getty
seems pretty incredibly petty, I'll tell you that. That's funny. And they were, the Knicks fans were chanting we want Wemby. We want Wemby. So they want to take on the the, the French child who plays for the San Antonio spurs who's nine feet tall. But that series is tied to two and continues today. Match you one other stat just because if you're a basketball fan this is quite amazing.
Jacob Goldstein
The
Joe Getty
see if I can find it. Two out of three Real news. The Knicks have outscored Atlanta, Philadelphia and Cleveland the first three rounds. A combined 262 points. They've scored 262 more points than the teams that they played during their winning streak. The largest margin by far in any 11 game span in NBA history. That's a lot of points or 11 games. So we'll see what happens and it is going to be highly annoying And I'll be rooting against them in Texas today. They are going to choose a Republican to run against the Democrat in the election for Senate and got to beat
Jack Armstrong
that James Tallarico punk. Oh is he awful.
Joe Getty
Well more, more importantly if you lean Republican, you just want to hang on to, you know, Republican seat. So have a shot at hanging onto the Senate because if the Democrats take the House and the Senate then who knows what kind of malfeasance may may occur. But you got a Republican solid Republican John Cornyn who has been pretty damn faithful to Trump all these years.
Jack Armstrong
But Trump decides with him in the high 90%. It's I've heard 98, 99% but not
Joe Getty
100% which apparently is not that's not good enough. So Trump came out and backed this Paxton dude. Other Republican run against him and Paxton will have a would have a shot at losing to the Democrat. So we got, when we talked about, I forget what we called him. Half a crook, half a nut job, whatever this Paxton guy that's running, we got this text among others. Paxton is not what you're espousing. I guess the good old boys got to. There is a ton of stuff out there, legal and ethical around Ken Paxton going back many, many years. He was impeached by the Republican controlled Texas House in 2023 on bribery, corruption, abuse of power charges, whistleblower allegations, all that sort of stuff. He was acquitted by the Texas Senate but he's impeached by his own party in in Texas.
Jack Armstrong
Let me throw out the votes for you. The impeachment in the Republican dominated House was 121 to 23 not 123. 121 to 23 in favor of impeaching him. And it lost. 16, 14. Or they. They failed to convict him. 16, 14.
Joe Getty
He is a serial cheater on his wife now. I guess we did away with years ago caring whether about that when it comes to running for office, but still might matter in. In Texas, his estranged wife, who's a state senator, filed for divorce on biblical grounds, with many, many reports of alleged infidelity and a bunch of women coming out of the woodwork and blah, blah, blah, that. You know how those things work. So got a character issue around his sexual stuff and whether or not he takes bribes.
Jack Armstrong
Do you know the Penn story? This. This was my favorite in 2018. No, I'm sorry, 2012. Security cameras show Paxton seeing a Mont Blanc pen worth a thousand dollars accidentally left behind at a metal detector there at the courthouse by his. By a fellow lawyer who happened to be named Joe Joplin. Anyway, Paxton looks at the pen, looks around. Yoink. Slips it in his pocket.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
There's video of it. He goes. The pen was later returned, quote, when the error was realized, said a spokesman for Paxton.
Joe Getty
I'll tell you what, that's all I need to know about a guy.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
First of all, who recognizes a $1,000 pen? I wouldn't. You could leave it laying around, and I wouldn't grab.
Jack Armstrong
Well, you might say, wow, that's a beautiful pen. And then, of course, at a security checkpoint at a courthouse, you wouldn't say, hey, it looks like somebody left this. No, you'd yoink it and slip. Wow. Yeah.
Joe Getty
That's weak. Yeah. Anyhow, we'll see how that turns out today. So Cornyn, who is the sitting senator and has been senator for a long time, he put out some posts over the weekend. He's trying to hold on to his job since Trump came out last week and endorsed Paxton.
Jack Armstrong
Because Cornyn was a little slow in endorsing Trump last election cycle.
Joe Getty
Well, and Cornyn, this is what pushed Trump over the edge when that story came out about the nearly $2 billion slush fund thingy. That whole story, which we need to talk more about, Cornyn was. I don't like the sound of this. Whoa, that's not enough. Sorry. You gotta be on board. And that's when Trump came out and endorsed Paxton. So it was that whole thing. Cornyn, with a post over the weekend. Remember, if you're one of the 75% of registered voters who didn't vote in the primary, you can still vote in the Runoff. Please vote tomorrow in the Republican primary. So there are a whole bunch of votes out there to get if people decide to rally and come out. But it's hard to get people to come out for, you know, Monday, June primary stuff in any kind of election. Back to the fund. I didn't catch on to this because I was saying nearly $2 billion fund. If you don't know this whole story, I guess Google it because we've talked about it. And then other people would say 1.78 billion. No, no, no, no. Do you know the whole story on this? It's 1,776,000,000. 1776. How ridiculous is that? They came up with the number 1776. 1,776,000,000.
Jack Armstrong
That's too much for me for the settlement. Yeah, I know, I know. Trump sued Trump and Trump agreed to settle for $1.776 million or billion dollars. Yeah, I played golf with a friend of mine who's a tax attorney over the weekend. Very skillfully, by the way. Very. Boy, did I play well. Then the next day I played and I sucked. I hate golf. Golf is stupid. Anyway, that was not the point of the story.
Joe Getty
Why do you think you sucked the next day? Or is a better question why were you so good the first day? Do you have any idea?
Jack Armstrong
No, it'd take too long to explain. But it's the very best players in the world do that. They are just magical one day and then the next day you just can't find it. It's hard game. Anyway, so this guy who we'll call him Al Anonymous. He said everybody's fixated on the slush fund and he says that's bad enough. But the essentially a preemptive pardon from any tax investigation as the making billions of dollars on crypto which is the most murky tax evadi money laundering thing you can possibly do financially. He said that could be worth more money than you can comprehend. And it's just so not good. It's just not right. I Caramba.
Joe Getty
Here's a perfect example of it. What I was saying Jeff put up on the television. What's Ed? I had dinner with him. Ed, the guy who's the White House correspond on it for CBS News. Oh, Keef. Ed O'. Keefe. Ed O' Keefe just predicted Nixon 4. Okay. Ah, Jesus. Going to be hard to take if they win.
Jack Armstrong
We want in four. I thought she said Nixon as in. As in Richard M. New York Knicks, the basketball team.
Joe Getty
Knicks in four, says Ed o' Keefe of course you got to be all in.
Jack Armstrong

You answer it and there's like silence for a while, then a click, then somebody in a foreign accent, like, off the phone. Is this Jack? You know that sort of.

There's Timothy Chalamet in the second row. That had to be brutal.
Jack Armstrong
I could even see the game.
Joe Getty
I'll bet his Kardashian girlfriend was thinking, I've got to get a better boyfriend. I need somebody who can get me in the front row.
Jack Armstrong
Wow, wow, wow. See, that's. That's the problem, fellas. You can't raise a woman's expectations too high. All right, well, she's a Kardashian.
Joe Getty
She's. She's used to the front row. I bet they're sitting there. She's sitting there with Chalamet. And then there's. Did you see that? Chalamet says. And she says, no, I couldn't see it. There's people in front of me.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, I saw a man's head in front of me.
Joe Getty
Tim.
Jacob Goldstein
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Something tells me she's never had nosebleed seats.
Joe Getty
Well, definitely not. We need to talk about. Well, a whole bunch of different things, actually. The war in Iran deal. Is there a deal? What is the deal? What are the details of the deal? I expect more to come out while we're on the air today, and we'll bring them to you.

I go into the Froyo shop. You grab your own cup. You fill your own froyo. I used Apple Pay, so nobody even had to grab my card. Then the screen goes how much would
Spencer Pratt
you like to tip?
Joe Getty
Who would I tip? If anything, the option needs to be how much would you like to be tipped? No one even had to grab my debit card out of my hand to process the payment. This was self service from start to finish. Which is okay because that's the business model. Why would I tip the hourly waged employee who said have a good day as I walked out? Yeah, a woman speaking for many of us. Yes, the never ending asking to tip and then the weird would you like to tip 18%, 22% or 25%?
Jack Armstrong
Or a custom amount so you have to click through extra screens to say here's a custom amount for you. Goose egg.
Joe Getty
Couple of music slash artist notes leading up to a booyah comment about artists in general. First of all, this Sonny Rollins, tenor saxophonist and one of my favorite jazz musicians, died at age 95 yesterday. Sax Colossus, I think was his most famous album. I prefer Sunny side Up, but if you're into jazz man, and you have never checked that out, please do. Speaking of old musicians not dying, still alive, Bob Dylan turned 85 on Saturday. Bob Dylan turned 85 on Saturday. And I noticed when I was driving over the weekend it said Bob Dylan playing sometime in June around here somewhere. I thought, wow, he turned 85 and he's playing somewhere around here.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, what does an 85 year old bob Dylan sound like?
Joe Getty
Well, and I get it. If you're, you know, Billy Joel old, you're playing Madison Square Garden every night. I mean, you know, I get that. Or you're touring the big city, you're gonna play some casino in a medium sized city as an 85 year old. Why? Why are you touring it all?
Jack Armstrong
Just do a residency somewhere like Billy Joel does.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jack Armstrong
I mean the bad part of touring is touring, playing the show.
Joe Getty
That's what I mean. I can understand why you're probably doing it at home for nothing. You like walking out on the stage with a guitar and singing your song and play it. I get that. Why you'd want to get in a plane and limo to a hotel and all that sort of stuff at age 85 and walk out to a couple hundred people at an Indian casino, I don't know. Who knows? But here's the thing I really liked, and this is not about music. Javier Millay, who we really like around here, he's the libertarian leader of what country?
Jack Armstrong
Argentina.
Joe Getty
Argentina has turned that country around. It's a crazy hairdo said over the weekend, I have nothing against artists. I myself had a rock band. My problem is that if you need a government subsidy to make art, you're no longer an artist, you're a public employee.
Jack Armstrong
That's fair enough. That's pretty good.
Joe Getty
That's pretty.
Jack Armstrong
That is good. Yeah,
Joe Getty
you can call yourself a poet or a painter or whatever, and I'm not against doing it as a hobby, you know, to release whatever you got to release as an artist. But until somebody's paying you for it, I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
My favorite Bob Dylan observation is that if in 1987 you had placed a wager that Bob Dylan would be the last of the Traveling Wilbury standing number one, all you got is Jeff Lynn in your way and you'd have an enormous payout. I mean, crazy payout. You could have gotten odds. Oh, well.
Joe Getty
Coming up, we're going to get into the LA mayoral race, which is pretty damned interesting and I think applies to people all around the country, whether you're into who's the mayor of Los Angeles
Jack Armstrong
or not, virtually every big city in America. Yeah, finally somebody's telling the truth.
Joe Getty
Another guy, crazy person shooter, killed near the White House over the weekend. 21 year old dude came at the one of the checkpoints with a backpack and a gun in it. Ordered to stop. Pulls out a gun, points toward the Secret Service. They blast him full of holes and he's dead. He had been doing this for like a year or so. Showing up at checkpoints and saying, I suppose would be the best way to get in. So he was on their radar a lot and they were keeping an eye on him, claiming to his closest friends that he was Jesus, thinking he's not no poor crazy person, but not so crazy that he couldn't latch onto an idea which was apparently harming the President or somebody because he kept at it for a very long time. Showing up at checkpoints and trying to. Trying to get in.
Jack Armstrong
Thank you, Michael. That's better. Yeah, that is definitely a national failing we have that we no longer can preemptively for their own good House people restrict them, you know, hospitalize them, whatever before they do something like this. Often taking somebody innocent with them.
Joe Getty
That's a good point. You keep trying to get into the White House grounds and you claim to people you're Jesus. That's not committable offense, right?
Jack Armstrong
Come on. That is a guy who is headed for a violent death and again, maybe innocent victims. We've got to do better.

Joe Getty
Well that's a horrifying ear grabbing little clip there from dude Running to be Mayor of Los Angeles. If you're listening across the country, it's well known in the LA area that Spencer Pratt is a big deal and making a lot of noise and really leaning heavenly on making a point we've been trying to make for a very long time that this homeless problem, using our finger quotes, is a drug addict problem.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, the distinguishing characteristic of these people's lives is not that they lack a fixed address, it's that they're hopeless hardcore drug junkies. That's why they got no home.
Joe Getty
Yeah, so this is Spencer Pratt. He was on a another podcast recently talking about this stuff. Let's let him roll on what are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles? Yeah, I'm sorry, I wanted 75. I changed my mind. Perhaps you didn't hear that 75. We're rolling on with that.
Spencer Pratt
These aren't people that just like missed a paycheck and we need to get them help and get back. This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment. Not handing people needles and pipes and saying oh here's a million dollar bed. If you're a fentanyl zombie hanging upside down, you don't care about a million dollar empty bed. As mayor, I'll enforce the laws because you cannot be a crazed drug addict zombie just running amok naked on the street.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it's amazing that more people haven't been able to say this out loud and get any attention in the cities that are beleaguered by this problem.
Jack Armstrong
Eric Part of the machine that's making billions of dollars, quite literally billions and billions of dollars being siphoned off the taxpayers and into the pockets of people who are involved in what we and others have called the homeless industrial complex.
Joe Getty
It really is. That's exactly what it is. It's a big giant money spigot. And if you stand up in front of a crowd and make it seem like it's the unhoused screwed by the free market, it's just too expensive to live here. And that's why we need to give them more help.
Jack Armstrong
That's why I want you one paycheck away from having a similar fate.
Joe Getty
And that's why I want you to back this or that program. That will be another however many billions of dollars that will get spread out to a whole bunch of different people because somebody gets that money and got
Jack Armstrong
a great example of that when we're done with our Spencer Pratt audio.
Joe Getty
And the homeless situation just magically continues to get worse. Anyway, here's more Spencer Pratt, Free morning
Spencer Pratt
front of Palisades elementary that then burned down. And across the street at my son's preschool at Methodist, there was a lady cleaning her private parts in front of kids at 7:45 in the morning. You call LAPD, they pull up and they go, you don't know because they can't before. So she'd go around the corner and she go number two in front of Joe's Barbershop. You're cleaning your private parts in front of kids and you're a normal citizen. You are going to jail. You're going to be on the citizens app as a sex offender. But the consequences for zombie people, they don't have them. It's not fair for all the normal tax paying people in Los Angeles that we have to abide by laws. And then there's a whole class. It's like anarchy. It's psycho.
Jack Armstrong
Such a good point. You're, you're washing your genitals in front of a school. You'd be a registered sex offender after you were quickly convicted of the crime. But well, she's a junkie homeless person so there's nothing we can do.
Joe Getty
And it's so gross.
Jack Armstrong
It is so gross. And so clearly I was going to use the term corrosive, but it's not. It's more like a grenade than a corrosion of a society. You can't have the lawful class who will suffer the Consequences for breaking the law. And then the can do anything they want class.
Joe Getty
So I don't know about this. I don't know how much I want to get into it, but the first clip we played where Spencer Pratt was talking about the drug addict stapling dog's eyes shut. What is that about?
Jack Armstrong
Well, part of that's just being completely psychotic and they're stray dogs or whatever. The other part is they're testing their drugs on dogs to see if they die. And so you got all sorts of dogs dying of drug overdoses.
Joe Getty
That doesn't surprise me.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, horrifying. You know, I remember a family guy had a really funny bit that I won't bother describing, but they need to change it slightly and have, have guys and girls too, obviously participating in all sorts of lawlessness and saying to the cop, it's okay, I'm homeless, so I get to do this. And the cop saying, oh, sorry, sorry to have bothered you. Just do that over and over again to make the point.
Joe Getty
Well, I remember in the town that I live in, this is quite a few years ago, before this had turned into. Well, it was an issue for regular people, but before turned into a splashy public issue, the street person thing. So we called the cops on some scary zombie people, I like that term, that were harassing some of the Boy Scouts around the church where they had their meetings. And the cops got there and said, there's not much we can do because they all have the name of a lawyer that they hit us with and say, hey, we know our rights and blah, blah, blah, blah. Because there's all these advocate lawyers that get in their ear and tell them you have a right to be here and they're not allowed to kick you out. This is before that ruling, the Supreme Court ruling. So maybe that's part of it, but there's plenty of other rulings out there that allow them to live their lifestyle well.
Jack Armstrong
And those lawyers are either Marxists idiots or greed heads who are making money from NGOs probably doing this. It's an insane position. But yeah, if you've got an activist lawyer, they can, you know, in a misdemeanor charge, probably. Yeah, they can screw up the work so much, the cops and prosecutors think why bother?
Joe Getty
You got an example of money being wasted, you said.
Jack Armstrong
Indeed. Yeah. Listen to this, would you please? Sorry, it's updating. There it is. So this is from Los angeles. So this NGO non governmental organization named Weingarten got a $30 million grant for homeless housing and a senior citizen home Senior citizen's home was cleared of elderly residents. The property, by the way, had been listed on the market for $11.2 million, but it was sold to Weingart for $27 million.
Joe Getty
That's nice. So you get nearly three times as much as it was their asking price. That's a good Realtor. Exactly.
Jack Armstrong
Citi pays the NGO extremely high rates. $400,000 per bed per year for home. This property, the building sits empty. The NGO NGO has no obligation to put a homeless person in a bed so they can bill for every room at $400,000 per year with no one in them. And it doesn't stop there. Taxpayers also cover the purchase, operations, upkeep and problems even if the facility sits empty. The Winegard NGO operates around 10 similar housing facilities. And this, this commentator says we need a prison sentence for every Democrat involved in these deals and every NGO executive. Spencer Pratt says he'll hand them over to the IRS and DOJ for investigation and prosecution. And they say I saved him some time. Looked up who handed the money out and it's the Mayor, Karen Bass, former Mayor Eric Garcetti, key member on the Housing and Homelessness Committee is Nithya Raman, who has been involved in oversight and funding decisions and is also running for mayor. And the LA County Board of Supervisors. They have, they wrote those checks.
Joe Getty
That is so depressing. Oh yeah, that's highly, highly depressing.
Jack Armstrong
You've got to learn to look at society through the eyes of government officials who see everything that's notable as an excuse to take more taxpayer dollars and give them to their cronies. Everything. If there are three car wrecks in a row at an intersection, you think, holy crap, we need another sign or I don't know, give out some tickets or have a cop there. A politician thinks, okay, okay, how do we use this?
Joe Getty
First, I'll commission a study and we'll claim that it'll cost a quarter of a million dollars or $5 million or
Jack Armstrong
whatever to make sure my brother in law gets that contract.
Joe Getty
Right. And you know, I think it starts there.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah, that sort of thing.
Joe Getty
Thing. Here's a little more of Spencer Pratt. This will make a good point for you. He's doing an interview with ABC7 in Los Angeles. So you're going to move these 40,000 people somewhere and you're going to have this facility up in. You said how long?
Spencer Pratt
Here's what you got, 90 days. Let me explain something. These 40,000 people, 60% of them, city Watch just announced this week, are not from Los Angeles, they're not from California. These people have been bussed in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits. These people, when I unplug them and say we're not taking our tax money anymore, they're all going to Seattle where the mayor will welcome them. These are products to a lot of people. So the people that want to keep doing drugs and live on the sidewalk, they're A lot of these people are going to leave. The other ones, there's a lot of criminals, there's people that are getting naked in front of kids, they're going to jail. The people that are torturing animals, they're going to jail. So not everyone goes in the same box. So we have the money, we have the resources and we have the facility.
Joe Getty
And he's been making the argument at every turn, where are they going to go? They're probably going to go to Seattle because they give out so much stuff. I've got that situation around where I live. And you might know correspondent Jesse who contacts the show now and then, he was homeless for a long time and he works with cops and various organizations in like being a go between, between the homeless and the city because he can talk to the homeless crowd because he was one, he was a drug addict homeless person. He knows how to worse. But he was talking about how, you know, this city has so many programs and so much stuff. It's a magnet, of course, for that crowd. Whereas that city 10 miles over doesn't have near as many because they don't have near as much stuff. When you, when you have these programs, you get people coming from all over the place to do their drug addict lifestyle where you live because it makes it more comfortable to hang out and be a drug addict.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I remember it was probably a decade ago. I'm guessing that we, I got into a bitter argument with some folks in running these programs and running the government in San Francisco, they angrily denied that these programs were attracting people to, you know, enjoy the warm milk of the government heat. And they swore it wasn't true. And every damn study, every study now makes it utterly clear that yeah, people go wherever the benefits are, where the living is easiest, where there's no law enforcement, where they give you tents, blah, blah, blah. That's why free adult is teeming with people like that. Likewise Portland and some other west coast cities. And it, what does it tell you, friends, if it was self evident that places like Jackie is describing are magnets for people to come to them, but the city officials are angrily denying that's true when it's self evident. You just ask these people, they'll tell you.
Joe Getty
What does that tell you?
Jack Armstrong
It's, it's either. Well, I was going to say it's not an innocent mistake, but if it isn't an innocent mistake, it's the sort of mistake people make when they are so completely devoted to their wackadoodle ideology they can't see any evidence that that contradicts what they think.
Joe Getty
I know personally, people like that, that they think I want to live in the town that helps these people and not screws them like some of these other towns who won't, won't help the, you know, the less fortunate. So they think it's, you know, helping
Jack Armstrong
as opposed to hurting someone died of the giant state. That's right, Dr. Krauthammer. Helping somebody die of a drug overdose, whether today, next week or next year is not complete.
Joe Getty
Well, then again, and once again, you're the compassionate one. Worry about them. I'm worried about the law abiding taxpayer. How about that? How about the guy who wants to go to the park with his kids? How about them?
Jack Armstrong
Right? And the well meaning people you're describing, they only care about their own egos. That's what all this is about is showing how enlightened they are and how kind and compassionate to others. It's a giant ego joke. Oh.
Joe Getty
If it comes down to it, I don't want you to die on the street. But if you're gonna die on the street anyway, which you probably are, do it in a different town. That's where I am.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I want to live in a pleasant place. Says every human being who's ever lived on earth anyway.
Joe Getty
Oh, there it is. Up Fox is big on the Spencer Pratt rap about the homeless people and calling them zombies and everything like God. Until we start talking about it as a drug problem and not a housing problem. There is no fixing it. Of course, as you've made the point many, many times, they don't want to fix it. It's a big money spigot. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Getting back to my. The primary marker or you know, notable fact about their lives is not their lack of an address, it's their drug addiction. I have a good friend who is bravely trying to get past his latest round of cancer treatment and it's like me describing him as a tired person. Yeah, he's, he's very tired and it's, We've gotta address his tiredness somehow. No, no, he's got cancer is the problem. The cancer is causing his fatigue. He doesn't have chronic fatigue syndrome. He has cancer. These people don't have no fixed address. They're junkies. But again, it's not ignorance. Well, it is on the the part of the voters who allow this stuff to happen. That's ignorance and egotism. But the activist class and the politicians, they know precisely what they're doing. It's a scam.
Joe Getty
Wake up, wake up. We got Paul McCartney news, Britney Spears news, and then Iran news. We got all kinds of news, so stick around.
Jack Armstrong
The two greatest songwriters of the 20th century. That's great.
Joe Getty
Britney Spears ever write a song? I don't know if that's.
Jack Armstrong
She wrote hey Jude, I think. Right.
Joe Getty

Joe Getty
He walked back and forth through here naked. And might have been trying to make a sandwich, but I don't know. It's creepy. She just pointed the phone to me and I seen him just doing what he was doing right here in our house. It was live. Live footage. Oh, my God. Time stamped and everything. My wife, she's germaphobic, so I had to most definitely clean it before she even stepped in this house, period. Too comfortable. So I know for a fact that somebody that comfortable. What else could be done? It's gonna be hard. I'm gonna probably write some languages on the back of the check for him. The transfer. Yeah. Special memo, remember? We should have set that up so you know what they were talking about. That's a tenant who came home and caught his landlord. Landlord was in his house. That. It's a little weird already. You come home, catch your landlord having sex in your home.
Jack Armstrong
Well, he was watching him on a video camera. A security camera in the house.
Joe Getty
That would make you, as he said there, you wonder what else is going on when you're not around.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
Right. What else is he capable of doing? I don't know if I. Yeah. I don't know if you need to assume there's any more beyond that. I don't know. I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
I don't think that's the first time you do that.
Joe Getty
Maybe you didn't read the lease. Maybe he has every right to come into your home and have sex whenever you're not home.
Jack Armstrong
Read the fine print. That's right.
Joe Getty
So did you see the song they did on the final Colbert show? Did you ever see that pop up?
Jack Armstrong
No.
Joe Getty
Very, very cool. You would like it because you're a big Elvis Costello fan. They do some song of his, I guess, that I didn't really know, but it's Elvis Costello and. And John Batiste and Stephen Colbert singing, actually, and a couple other people. It's like a video that they put together for the final song. You ought to check it out. It's really, really good. But anyway, yeah, it sounds Good.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Paul McCartney was the live musical guest and he was. After Colbert said they were gonna have the Pope on. They didn't have the Pope. And so they next best thing they could come up with is Paul McCartney. I guess for the final guess. Anyway, Paul McCartney had to say this on Colbert the other night. Do people ever misinterpret your songs to you? Yes.
Spencer Pratt
I kind of like it though.
Jack Armstrong
So you write it and you sort
Joe Getty
of think, okay, there it is, it's done. That's the song Strawberry Fields, the beginning.
Spencer Pratt
It says, living is easy with eyes closed.
Jack Armstrong
But some people think it's living is easy with nice clothes.
Spencer Pratt
It's better,
Public Investing Advertiser
it's better.
Jack Armstrong
It's a better line.
Joe Getty
I actually saw Paul McCartney the other day talking about that thing that was on 60 Minutes a few years ago when one of their big albums, one of their biggest albums came out. I remember which one, Revolver or whatever. And. And he listened to it and thought, oh my God, the whole thing's out of tune. Every. The whole album is out of tune. And he like lost his mind. Wow. Rushed to the studio and said, we got. We can't let this out. And the whole thing's out of tune. And he was just wrong.
Jack Armstrong
That's bizarre.
Joe Getty
Isn't that weird that a guy like him could have that sort of breakdown?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah. And the second crazy thing about Paul McCartney, remember when he did that big 60 Minutes thing and they asked him why you're putting out a new album? He says, well, I want people to think I'm a good songwriter and musician and relevant and stuff. Dude, you're fine. You're okay.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I think you'll be remembered that way.

Summary by Podcast Summarizer
This episode, "Different Rules, No Consequences," spotlights the growing frustration with the perceived double standards in society, particularly around the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, political corruption in Texas, and the broader consequences of a lack of accountability for some—whether they are politicians, celebrities, or vulnerable populations. The hosts blend sharp commentary, humor, and frustration as they dissect national and local news stories involving the NBA Finals, Texas politics, music legends, and, most notably, lawlessness tied to homelessness and public policy failures.

“These aren't people that just like missed a paycheck...This is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment. Not handing people needles and pipes and saying oh here's a million dollar bed.

And then the can do anything they want class.” — Jack Armstrong (30:44)
“You're washing your genitals in front of a school. You'd be a registered sex offender...But well, she's a junkie homeless person so there's nothing we can do.” — Jack Armstrong (30:29)
“It's a big giant money spigot. And if you stand up in front of a crowd and make it seem like it's the unhoused screwed by the free market, it's just too expensive to live here. And that's why we need to give them more help.” — Joe Getty (29:02)
“Citi pays the NGO extremely high rates. $400,000 per bed per year for home. This property, the building sits empty. The NGO has no obligation to put a homeless person in a bed so they can bill for every room at $400,000 per year with no one in them.” — Jack Armstrong (33:46)

Timestamps: 19:39–22:22, 44:21–46:55

“If you need a government subsidy to make art, you're no longer an artist, you're a public employee.” — Javier Milei, cited by Joe Getty (21:24)
“The beginning, it says, ‘Living is easy with eyes closed.’ … But some people think it’s ‘Living is easy with nice clothes.’” — Paul McCartney via Colbert appearance (46:36)
“You've got to learn to look at society through the eyes of government officials who see everything that's notable as an excuse to take more taxpayer dollars and give them to their cronies.” — Jack Armstrong (34:57)
“They don't want to fix it. It's a big money spigot.” — Joe Getty (40:02)
“All this is about is showing how enlightened they are and how kind and compassionate to others. It's a giant ego joke.” — Jack Armstrong (39:31)
“Citi pays the NGO extremely high rates. $400,000 per bed per year for home… with no one in them.” (33:46)
“Helping somebody die of a drug overdose… is not compassion.” (39:08)
“Until we start talking about it as a drug problem and not a housing problem, there is no fixing it.” – Joe Getty (40:02)
If you haven’t listened to this episode, expect an animated takedown of double standards in governance, scathing critique of LA’s homeless policies, a deep look at GOP races in Texas, and plenty of color from music news to sports media hype. The recurring theme: the breakdown of rules and responsibility, and the consequences that follow, or more often, don’t.
| Topic | Timestamp Start | Key Details | |------------------------------|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------| | Knicks in Finals, Chalamet | 03:08 | Media bias, celebrity seating drama | | Texas Senate Race | 06:11 | Cornyn vs Paxton, party infighting, Trump’s role | | Slush Fund & Crypto Concerns | 11:11 | $1.776B for ‘patriotism’, possible financial scam | | LA Homelessness & Politics | 27:07 | Pratt’s campaign, “homeless industrial complex” | | NGO Scams/Empty Beds | 33:09 | Taxpayer money, empty facilities | | Homeless Migration | 37:34 | Resource-driven movement of addicted population | | Music/McCartney Q&A | 44:21 & 46:27 | Colbert segment, misheard lyrics, industry anecdotes |
Bottom Line:
Armstrong & Getty argue that societal dysfunction stems from selective application of rules, misplaced compassion, and a class of political and activist actors benefiting from perpetual crisis. The message: as long as the system rewards chaos and excuses, “Different Rules, No Consequences” will persist.
