Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
- [03:24]
Ryan Seacrest
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
- [03:36]
Joe Getty
Live.
- [03:37]
Ryan Seacrest
From Studio C C. We are in.
- [03:41]
Joe Getty
A dimly lit room deep within the.
- [03:42]
Ryan Seacrest
Bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications.
- [03:45]
Joe Getty
Compound, on a war footing. And today we're under the tutelage of.
- [03:48]
Ryan Seacrest
Our general manager, Donald J. Trump and Vladimir Putin on the pH. I wonder if they're gonna catch up first before they get down to business.
- [03:59]
Joe Getty
It's nice to hear your voice.
- [04:01]
Ryan Seacrest
So Vlad, how are your many wives? Good. How are your many ex wives? Oh, they're fine.
- [04:10]
Joe Getty
Wow. How's your bracket looking? Yeah, so I mentioned war footing because of the bombing in Israel overnight. So you got that going on too, which is not directly Donald Trump's dealio, but I'm sure he's keeping an eye on it. And then he's on the phone with Putin as we speak, at least in theory. Last time they talked for 90 minutes. So it could be a while before the world gets any news out of how that phone call went. The I was reading Ian Bremmer's stuff last night. He's a guy that takes a look at the world.
- [04:47]
Ryan Seacrest
That's his job description, but it's accurate enough. Yeah.
- [04:51]
Joe Getty
And he said this is easily the most consequent sequential phone call thus far of the Trump administration and, you know, a lot on the line, so we'll see how that goes. And so, and man, being president be something, I mean, just for anybody, you're going to be on the phone for Putin for however long, making some really serious like historic decisions and then probably within in a couple of hours be on the phone with BB Netanyahu who's bombing the bejesus out of Gaza and, and you know, dealing with that. And then the ramifications there.
- [05:23]
Ryan Seacrest
If it were only the trade stuff that has been Much discussed these days. That would be pressure enough stress enough complexity enough, I think for any one human being.
- [05:34]
Joe Getty
I do notice that. And I, since most people who listen to this show are kind of into the news, you're probably aware that Israel started bombing the Palestinians world Hamas again yesterday. It is the Palestinians, according to the mainstream media. I noticed the mainstream media, man, they, there is, there is, there is no hedging on this whatsoever. Immediately jumped into the. How many people have died? According to the health ministry, many of them children.
- [06:00]
Ryan Seacrest
I mean this Israel launches deadly attacks was the headline in the New York Times. Yeah, most, most attacks in war are. That's, that's kind of the idea.
- [06:09]
Joe Getty
Right. And then quoting the enemy for how many people die and taking their word for how many of them are children. It's, it's just insane. Yeah, it went from. It was criticized to do that. Even Joe Biden himself criticized it. Well, you can't take their word for it, he once said, but got so much pushback and now all mainstream media goes with their numbers. According to Hitler, this many German children have been killed in allied bombing. And then you report that as news. No, it's nuts, right?
- [06:44]
Ryan Seacrest
I kept coming across the phrase the peace talks, specifically the talks over the next phase of the peace process had stalled. And there are days I feel like I'm in the midst of the emperor's new clothes and everybody around me is walking around saying, oh, the emperor has a two state solution. Oh, we love your two state solution, Mr. Emperor. And anybody with any sanity is saying, let's see, let's check with Hamas. Are you still vowing to wipe Israel off the face of the map the first chance you get? Yes, Check. Are you still vowing to wipe out the Jews and when you're done with them, the Christians, the moment you have the opportunity? Yes. So explain to me again the two state solution to how that's gonna work. It's fantasy land.
- [07:24]
Joe Getty
Are you still doing mocking touchdown dance celebrations? When you hand over dead bodies you once claimed were alive, sometimes not even the actual body.
- [07:35]
Ryan Seacrest
Right, right. The talks have stalled, Jack.
- [07:41]
Joe Getty
So it all ties together or should Trump bombing the crap out of the Houthis and now Israel bombing the crap out of Hamas. It's all about Iran. And so Trump said this in a truth social post late last night. Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon from this point forward as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of Iran in all capitals and Iran in capital letters will be held responsible and suffer the consequences. And Those consequences will be dire. He wrote on Truth Social. So it's all tied together. Houthis and Hamas. It's all about, hey, Iran, get your act together.
- [08:22]
Ryan Seacrest
Finally, we'll see. Finally, a little leadership. This violence, I believe, will end much of the violence. Not immediately. It depends on which specific you're talking about. But the whole don't. And if you do, oh, well, we won't do much. We saw what that got us. Let's try something different, please.
- [08:44]
Joe Getty
Well, politically, what's interesting is I don't know how much of Trump's base is the Tucker Carlson crowd. I don't, I really don't know. I don't know if it's 1% or 20%. I wish I had a better handle on that. But Tucker Carlson tweeted out yesterday, it's worth pointing out that a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle east and cost the United States tens of billions of dollars. The cost of future acts of terrorism on American soil may be even higher. Those aren't guesses. Those are the Pentagon's own estimates, says Tucker Carlson. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America's war. Don't let the propagandists lie to you. And that was repeated by Ann Coulter and Candace Owens and a variety of people out there.
- [09:30]
Ryan Seacrest
Sure. I think at least some of that is probably true. All right, Tucker, now do. If we continue to withdraw from, you know, the strategic parts of the world. Allah, Joe Biden. What's it going to be like then? How many people will die then?
- [09:45]
Joe Getty
Yeah. When.
- [09:45]
Ryan Seacrest
As the evildoers of the world are empowered. Go ahead, do that one now.
- [09:49]
Joe Getty
Yeah. When I read that from Tucker Carlson, I was actually thinking we at some point, and this is grim, I realize, and easy to say when it's not you or your kid. My brother's no longer active military, but I'd be saying the same thing if he was still active and going into the Middle East. At some point, the United States is going to have a return to reality and history with wars where you lose thousands of people and it's not like you immediately pull out of the country because you lost people, because that's the way wars were. I mean, that's going to happen at some point. I don't want it to happen, but it's inevitable, especially with Russia and China continuing to push. At some point, we're actually going to have to fight and take losses and, and, and, and have to overcome them politically, not just, you know, just not just strategically.
- [10:40]
Ryan Seacrest
The fantasy that you can stop pushing outward, and I don't mean like geographically or spreading yourself thinner and thinner and thinner. I mean being willing to project power. The fantasy that if you lose that willingness, there will be peace, is so incredibly foolish. And there are some very, very intelligent people pushing it. And I'm a little mystified as to their thinking, what they think will happen next.
- [11:07]
Joe Getty
This could end up being a big political rupture. Definitely.
- [11:11]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. Yeah. Well, political ruptures seem to be the norm right now. Our delightful opening clip we'll illustrate in a moment. And I have a theory as to why. And it's a good one. It's a solid one.
- [11:26]
Joe Getty
Okay, so let's start the show officially. Why the heck not? I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday. Oh, the day after St. Patrick's Day. Oh, feeling a little green today. You're 20, 25. We are Armstrong. And getting. We approve of this program.
- [11:41]
Ryan Seacrest
Second day of green. No extra charge, as it turns out. Yeah. All right, let's begin. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go. Leaping into action at mark poll numbers.
- [11:50]
Colgate Palmolive Advertiser
For Democrats, only 27% of voters have.
- [11:53]
Ryan Seacrest
A positive view of the party. The lowest favorability RA in the history of NBC's polling. You're at 27%.
- [12:02]
Joe Getty
You've got to get Trump to lose.
- [12:04]
Ryan Seacrest
Eight points of popularity just for you to get to the point where you're 13 points below him. Your approval is only 7 points above where it turns red and goes into low power mode.
- [12:23]
Joe Getty
That's Jon Stewart talking about the Democrats Democrats approval rating, which is historically low. Right now of course is. So is the Republicans. It's just not as low as the Democrats. People are not into their, their big parties right now.
- [12:36]
Ryan Seacrest
No, indeed. And honestly, the. The worst thing you can possibly do for your approval rating generally is get power and be in charge. Yeah, the opposition party has it. Kush, man, that is the way to be. You just howl about whoever's doing what in office and you promise your followers that when you get office, by God, you will bring the paradise we've all expected and deserved.
- [13:01]
Joe Getty
You know what it's kind of like? It's kind of like being a non parent. You can really hang on to your beliefs of how you would raise kids.
- [13:07]
Ryan Seacrest
Right.
- [13:09]
Joe Getty
Or what they're probably doing wrong to cause that kid to act that way.
- [13:13]
Ryan Seacrest
Right, Exactly. Or you're the smug military officer back at headquarters explaining how the battle ought to be going. Yeah, yeah.
- [13:22]
Joe Getty
Anyway, so we got Katie's headlines on the way. We got some mailbag. We'll get some more news of the day. And man, as soon as any information comes out of that Trump Putin phone call, I'm interested in that. But he has not allowed readouts of a lot of these calls with Putin in sort of the typical way, like if, you know, if you're on the phone with Macron or something like that.
- [13:44]
Ryan Seacrest
And I found Trump's strategy so far to be kind of mystifying. And that speaks to the fact that he's, he's keeping his cards close to his vest. And I suspect he will continue to do so after the call. So I don't expect much enlightenment.
- [13:59]
Joe Getty
Wow. Okay. Well, that's disappointing. Anyway, disappointment on the way. Here's our text line. 415295, KFTZ.

Ryan Seacrest
This story at all.
- [18:12]
Joe Getty
I'm not interested in bringing you up to speed. If you, if you don't know what I'm talking about, just wait 30 seconds, it'll be over. But the parents of that missing college student want her declared dead. What is that all about? And a video came out yesterday of her puking by the hotel.
- [18:28]
Ryan Seacrest
Probably has to do with Dominican law. And whether they can hold the, the quote unquote witness that they've been questioning.
- [18:36]
Joe Getty
Is your best guess that she was hammered, drunk, went in the water, got swept out to sea?
- [18:42]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, maybe, or maybe the 2 chance is involved. I don't know. It's hard. You got a couple of drunk people in the wee hours on the beach, in the water, nobody around.
- [18:52]
Joe Getty
It was like 4 in the morning, right?
- [18:54]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be very, very difficult to determine whatever happened. But yeah. So there is so much I want to get to today. Got a great gender bending madness update, an explainer or two about kind of complicated stories going on in the news that, that are mystifying and I've taken a little time to boil them down to their essence, including the shipping the gang members to El Salvador and did the Trump administration defy an order and stuff. It's actually pretty interesting when you get past the half wit news anchors and various administration people yelling at each other. So I hope you can stay tuned. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's a lead story with Katie Green. Katie.
- [19:35]
Katie Green
Thank you guys. Starting with the Washington post. More than 400 killed as Israel strikes Gaza. Breaking ceasefire with Hamas.
- [19:44]
Joe Getty
Yeah, I don't like that wording. What's that from the Washington.
- [19:47]
Katie Green
Washington Post.
- [19:48]
Joe Getty
Don't like that at all. Breaking the ceasefire. Gaza broke the ceasefire, Right? Not Gaza. Hamas broke the ceasefire by not agreeing to their end of it, which was returning hostages on time.
- [19:58]
Ryan Seacrest
Right. They had no intention of furthering the negotiations. Israel knew it. And then now it's time to get back to the war.
- [20:04]
Joe Getty
And as we already stated, that death number you're going with is the enemy's death number.
- [20:10]
Katie Green
From the Free Beacon, Columbia declined to investigate swastikas sprawled throughout the Hamilton hall because they were written in chalk and could be erased.
- [20:22]
Ryan Seacrest
The hypocrisy and double standard of these woke institutions, including universities, are hilarious. And more people ought to be aware of it. You go through lists of who got canceled for what and then who got excused for. Well, they were young and impressionable and made a mistake. It is exactly divided by your politics.
- [20:41]
Katie Green
Yeah, from Politico, Trump nixes Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden. Details totaling about 30 agents to protect the president's adult children.
- [20:55]
Ryan Seacrest
Well, the Secret Service guys would be in too much danger from old drugs dealer and art dealer, people who are angry at Hunter.
- [21:03]
Joe Getty
So Hunter Biden was. Was he going to get Secret Service protection for the rest of his life?
- [21:07]
Katie Green
Paid for us by us for the next six months.
- [21:09]
Joe Getty
Oh, okay.
- [21:10]
Ryan Seacrest
It's. It's. Yeah, it's only required through age 16, I heard, which is interesting, but generally it's granted if needed.
- [21:18]
Joe Getty
Okay.
- [21:19]
Katie Green
From NBC. After nine months in space, NASA astronauts who flew on Boeing's Captain capsule are.
- [21:26]
Ryan Seacrest
On their way home, rescued by whose company? They don't want to say. Believe that's accurate.
- [21:37]
Katie Green
From the Wall Street Journal. We are turning too many people into medical patients. They're saying, this is the swift rise for diagnosis, for everything.
- [21:48]
Ryan Seacrest
Wow. I paw through the Journal every day. I miss that one. I have some really interesting stuff on Xanax Nation, but I'll have to seek that out.
- [21:55]
Joe Getty
Yeah, I would like to. I would like to read that also. It reminds me of my doctor saying to me a while back, what are we trying to do here? We got into the conversation about keeping people alive longer, but you're not really, like, digging life or able to do much. And the doctor saying, what is our goal here?
- [22:12]
Ryan Seacrest
I am not, like, full on wound up about big pharma like some people are. On the other hand, where there is enormous profit, there are perverse incentives to turn you into a medical case or treat you or drug you or whatever. There's a hell of a lot of money to be made.
- [22:31]
Katie Green
From CBS Sports. Knicks Heat game delayed after comedian Tracy Morgan appears to vomit on Madison Square Garden court.
- [22:41]
Joe Getty
I don't feel good.
- [22:42]
Katie Green
It did not appear. He absolutely did vomit.
- [22:46]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, he.
- [22:46]
Colgate Palmolive Advertiser
You.
- [22:47]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. He does not. He may not look good. Maybe he saw the video of the guy in the Bronx eating the rat. Have you heard about that? More on that later. Liz Lemon, I need a bucket.
- [22:59]
Katie Green
From Breitbart. Hilaria Baldwin defends her Spanish accent as, quote, code switching.
- [23:07]
Joe Getty
Bam.
- [23:07]
Katie Green
That's what it is saying to me.
- [23:13]
Joe Getty
It is in a different way. It's. I'm code switching to somebody more exotic and interesting for the media. Now I'm code switching back to my actual accent.
- [23:20]
Colgate Palmolive Advertiser
Right.
- [23:20]
Ryan Seacrest
I am, how you say, a phony.
- [23:25]
Katie Green
From the Daily Mail. Little people rally outside of Disney's studio in protest of Snow White remake amid outrage over decision to replace them with cgi.
- [23:37]
Joe Getty
Right. I missed this story. Somehow we got to get into this. So old Dinklage, Dinkelman, whatever his name, and the most famous small person in the world, he's involved in this. And now no little people and now CGI and something.
- [23:48]
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, that's. That's just one. That's one of the dwarves of outrage being directed at this terrible movie. Okay.
- [23:56]
Katie Green
And finally, the Babylon Bee. Single woman, constantly stressed, with no man around to tell her to relax.
- [24:07]
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, a multi layered joke. Relax.
- [24:12]
Joe Getty
Would you relax? Hey, smile.
- [24:15]
Ryan Seacrest
Oh boy. Oh, you're trying to die today.
- [24:21]
Joe Getty
No kidding. I get so cold in here. We gotta hold the news. Joe mentioned a bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here.

Another flight. Another flight. Every day it seems the teams are going to be out there. Every day. Every day the men and women of.

Joe Getty
ICE are going to be in the.
- [28:13]
Ryan Seacrest
Neighborhoods of this nation arresting criminal, illegal alien, public safety threats and national security threats. Lawrence, you're not going to stop us.
- [28:20]
Joe Getty
I'm proud to be part of this administration.
- [28:22]
Ryan Seacrest
We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think.
- [28:25]
Joe Getty
I don't care.
- [28:25]
Ryan Seacrest
The left thinks we're coming as all.
- [28:27]
Joe Getty
Holman who likes booting out illegals and we'll be talking more about that later. And man it polls well too. So that's it's tough if you're the party that's trying to be against that because it pulls really well. Also have the latest on the Snow White and the seven CGI Dwarves story, which there's controversy around. Usually controversy like this is completely bogus. And it's just to let you know there's a new movie out, this is real because of Wokeism. So we'll get into that maybe an hour or two.
- [28:56]
Ryan Seacrest
Although my only comment, because we will discuss it next hour, is that if that were the only problem with this steaming pile of non entertainment, my God, the organist has gone wild. Sorry about that. I believe it's a drug problem anyway.
- [29:14]
Joe Getty
You know, musicians are, you know.
- [29:17]
Ryan Seacrest
Please, where was that? Oh, yes, if that were the only problem this steaming pile of non entertainment had, well, that would be something. But no, they, they wish there was a real dwarf controversy because then people might actually want to see it. But more to come on that a lot of people talking about tariffs. A lot of headlines these days, fever pitch as always, because Donald J. Is involved. And I and Jack have also at times said we wish Trump was being a little more explicit on what he's trying to accomplish, what the goal is and why it's good for America. And there's been some information on we got to bring manufacturing back and that sort of thing. And I think everybody's in favor of that as long as, you know, the means of getting there aren't too insane. But I've been surprised he hasn't done a Reagan esque speech. And I don't mean just Reagan esque generally, but Reagan, at the beginning of his first term, when inflation was rampant, he went before the nation and he said, look, here's my plan. It's gonna be rough in the short term, but we're gonna squash inflation and then things are gonna be rosy. And a lot of America believed him and he did it and it worked out almost precisely the way he said. And I've just kind of been waiting for Trump to do that in a more here's a speech kind of way. I mean, he talks to the American people every day in a really interesting way.
- [30:40]
Joe Getty
Yeah. So both, I was reading in the New York Times last night, both Tom Friedman and David Sanger, two of their more respected journalists, for different reasons on different topics, but both of them were talking about how Trump has been the most disruptive, and disruptive is not always a negative word, but have been the most disruptive president in 80 years. I mean, since World War II in the first 50 days. Would you agree with that or no? Oh, yeah, that hyperbole. Or is it wow. Most president in 80 years, if he's.
- [31:10]
Ryan Seacrest
Not number one, he's, he's tied for it.
- [31:12]
Joe Getty
That's true. I mean, yeah, even if I'm going to quibble it, he'd have to be in the, in that top couple.
- [31:17]
Ryan Seacrest
Absolutely. Top tier. Sure. The perception being, hey, the World War II, let's cruise along. This is going great. The post World War II cruising along, everything's going great, period. Looks like it's coming to an end and we ought to be a little proactive.
- [31:32]
Joe Getty
Well, right. So that was the Ross du Fat column that I read from the New York Times also. He's a conservative leaning gentleman. His whole column was all about these things were already true. Trump's just recognizing they're true or saying it out loud. The economy is different, the world order is different. These things were already real. And, and he's just like leaning into it. So just an interesting take, right?
- [31:57]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, indeed. And there's a lot of truth to it. I think, you know, some of the means they're going about to do this stuff. I think he's a little ham handed and maybe the communication's not great, but, you know, they'll work that out anyway. The, the folks involved in the tariff policy discussion, I think are aware of people like me saying, what are you gu. Doing? And so they're starting to talk to reporters and, or whether on the record or off the record and leaking and that sort of thing. And the strategy is becoming more clear. And the Journal has a piece, they've got four guys working on this and they're, they're talking about some of the negotiations that have been going on behind the scenes, which really help illuminate what they're trying to do. Officials have recently weighed whether to simplify the complex tax task rather of devising new tariff rates for our hundreds of trading partners by sorting the countries into one of three tariff tiers. You know, fair countries that are good friends, kind of medium countries and countries that are sticking us with tariffs. So we're gonna stick them with tariffs and try to sort them out. They later ruled out that proposal because they're still trying to sort out how to implement the rates and how to figure out who's who. And so, and Trump has told them that the folks working on this, that you've got like till April 2 to come up with your plan. And so they're scrambling like crazy. But the goal of all of this is to get to a much more reciprocal world where, all right, just to pick out, you know, Germany, if you're gonna Impose a tariff on our fine automobiles at 30%. Well, your BMWs and Audis and VWs, we're going to hit you with the same thing. And by the way, which, which I think is completely defensible because speaking of the post WW2 era, when America stood astride the manufacturing world like a colossus, Europe was in ruins, Asia was either in ruins or living in huts.
- [34:06]
Joe Getty
Right?
- [34:06]
Ryan Seacrest
I mean we'd say, all right, yeah, you can put a 20% tariff on our stuff so you can get your industry up and running. And we didn't care, but that, that period is over now. So anyway, they're trying to get to reciprocal tariffs. You, you tax us 30%, we tax you at 30%. Oh, you don't want that. Well, how about we go with something low and reasonable? So they're trying to figure out how to get there. It's gonna be a rocky ride. And complicating all this is these countries are not stupid. So you have even like Germany for instance, as long as we're talking about them and China's doing the same thing, but let's put China over there because they're our mortal enemy. But Germany's saying, oh, oh yeah, you get 30% on German cars now, but only 10% in Mexico because of the free trade agreement Trump himself negotiated. So Gali, gee, we're setting up a plant now in Mexico with the same effective situation of our cars are way cheaper to sell in the US Than your cars are to sell in Germany. And where are we going to set up a plant that Germany doesn't have a Mexico, so we're at a disadvantage. So, so again, that's Joe's quote of the day.
- [35:15]
Joe Getty
Germany doesn't have a Mexico.
- [35:17]
Ryan Seacrest
They need a Mexico. Doesn't everybody need a Mexico? Evidently, J.D. vance has taken a big role now in the trade agenda development and has been hosting some of the hours long meetings at the Naval Observatory, which is for some reason where the Vice President lives in Washington. But it makes more sense to me now.
- [35:41]
Joe Getty
Interesting.
- [35:42]
Ryan Seacrest
But it's so complicated because again, okay, so we're, we're super great buddies with El Salvador or England or whatever and you figure that out as China, you think I will just manufacture there, we'll send our crap through there because they don't have a high tariff on us and then the US ends up not getting their tariff. So it's, it's tough stuff anyway. So that's what they're, they're working on.
- [36:05]
Joe Getty
Following up on the other thing we're talking about earlier in the hour. And so Trump bombs the heck out of the Houthis. Israel bombs the heck out of Hamas. Those are both Iranian backed groups. It's basically, you know, part of the proxy war with Iran. And Trump has threatened in the last couple of weeks that Iran needs to, you know, make a deal. He sent a letter to the Ayatollah, you need to make a deal on this whole Iranian nuclear program. You've got or we're going to take it out and it's going to be really bad for you. And Iran has not responded. And then I, so I mentioned that Tucker Carlson who's got millions and millions of followers and not just like literal actual follower, his Twitter account and his website but, but people in that ideology. We got this text. Tucker was on with Bongino's replacement yesterday. I don't know who that is. And Tucker said Pakistan has, has nuclear weapons. North Korea has nuclear weapons. I don't want Iran to get nukes, but those other countries have nukes. So I guess suggesting letting Iran get a nuclear weapon would be better than military action with them. That could turn into an actual war. Which I do not agree with that position.
- [37:26]
Ryan Seacrest
But no, particularly because, well, Pakistan's a wobbler. I was going to say North Korea isn't run by religious fanatics who are bent on bending the world to Allah's will. I don't think your average Presbyterian in the US or I'm not religious, I'm spiritual. They can't conceive of what a religious fundamentalist, how he sees the world raised from. When you're a baby. To believe that Islam should rule the entire world and anywhere it doesn't is a humiliation to God Almighty and it is your sacred duty to spend every day of your life to, to take care of that and spread Islam and make Islam the government of all of the earth. They don't get that.
- [38:16]
Joe Getty
This is just like solidified in my mind in the last dozen hours or so. And then I will get off this but. And I know I'm going to be accused of being a neocon or chicken hawk or all those sorts of terms.
- [38:27]
Ryan Seacrest
Or a neo hawk Chicken con.
- [38:30]
Joe Getty
A chicken con. Which is the worst. God help you if one moves in next door to you. Similar to the topic of recognizing reality in a certain. In a bunch of different areas, the economics, world order, all different stuff. We might have to realize that the. We're gonna have to fight some of the bad people. We're gonna have to fight some of the bad people. Actually engage with them lose people and fight them and win. That's gonna have to happen like has always happened throughout history. And.
- [39:03]
Ryan Seacrest
We carefully and judiciously and never for the wrong reasons.
- [39:08]
Joe Getty
We haven't really done that in a long time.
- [39:11]
Ryan Seacrest
Right, right.
- [39:13]
Joe Getty
But that I think that's coming and it'll be really obviously somewhat ironic is often the cases with a case when people get elected president, very sort of thing that they ran on ends up being in their lap and they have to make some decisions that you want to make make. Trump who ran a lot on, you know, getting us out of wars and all these different say he might have to be more engaged as a war president than any we've had in a long time.
- [39:35]
Ryan Seacrest
Quite possibly that has happened so many times in history. That's the George W. Bush story, although he took it way too far and lost his mind, in my opinion. But anyway, my grand unifying theory on why both parties are so divided and how everything's crumbling next hour.
- [39:50]
Joe Getty
Cool.
- [39:50]
Ryan Seacrest
I hope you can say.
- [39:51]
Joe Getty
And we'll get into the dwarf controversy. CGI dwarves taking jobs away from little people.
- [39:56]
Ryan Seacrest
Cruel.

Absolutely cruel.

Got a lot to come next hour indeed. Including a Freedom Loving Quote of the Day Basketball Edition at least partly. I'm sorry, a gender bending madness update Basketball Edition Partly. Now it's time for the Freedom Loving Quote of the Day. Somebody really needs to write this on a whiteboard in front of me. I need cue cards like I'm on Saturday Night Live. This is from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, sent along by anonymous person interrupting our series of Teddy Roosevelt quotes just for the day. I'll give you the short version, Jack, and you tell me if you want the longer version. Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil. It can be exposed and if need be prevented by use of force. Against stupidity, we are defenseless.
- [44:49]
Joe Getty
That's pretty good.
- [44:50]
Ryan Seacrest
That is pretty good. I'll read you a little more.
- [44:53]
Joe Getty
I've been reading been meaning to read more about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I just never get around to it.
- [44:59]
Ryan Seacrest
Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion, in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity, we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything. Here, reason falls on deaf ears. Facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed. In such moments, the stupid person even becomes critical. And when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside, as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this, the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly satisfied and being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one.
- [45:40]
Joe Getty
That'd be my life experience.
- [45:42]
Ryan Seacrest
That is one of the greatest breakdowns of dealing with a stupid person I've ever come across. Mailbag Drop us a note mailbagarmstrongandgetti.com is the email address.

Length of the piece we were discussing yesterday. I left that out. The author did point that out. And also that in divorced couples, child custody agreements make it much harder to pick up.
- [46:42]

And when it's gone, there will be a Midwest Dust bowl for decades. Yeah, the climate change stuff is way overblown. It's a profit center for green new scammers. The pumping out the aquifers too fast stuff. Stuff. I have talked to people who are completely responsible, sane people who point out that just means underground water essentially we're pumping it out way faster than nature, than nature can replenish it. And we're making a serious mistake. I believe that to be true. Oh yeah.
