Frigates, Phases & Threats

Summary

Armstrong & Getty On Demand – “Frigates, Phases & Threats”

Podcast: Armstrong & Getty On Demand
Air Date: June 16, 2026
Hosts: Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty
Episode Theme:
This episode dives deep into international tensions—particularly the U.S.-Iran peace deal and its implications—as well as local Los Angeles politics (the aftermath of Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign), the problem of homelessness and addiction, threats of political violence within the U.S., and cultural conflicts over free expression in sports. Humorous, skeptical, and sardonic as always, Armstrong and Getty grapple with the blurred lines between friend and foe, sanity and extremism, and transparency and spin in both global and local affairs.

---

1. The U.S.-Iran “Peace Deal”: Skepticism, Details & Doubts

Main Discussion (03:39–11:50)

Key Points

• The recent U.S.-Iran deal is shrouded in confusion, with the U.S. and Iran offering conflicting details.
• U.S. to lift its blockade of Iranian ports; Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, closed after Trump launched a war.
• Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program are pushed to a future, 60-day period, raising concerns about sanction relief without substantive agreements.

Key Quotes:

• “The fate of Iran's nuclear program, the reason the US went to war in the first place, will be addressed in another 60 day period of talks. Though the President today claimed to win.” (Jo Armstrong, 03:39)
• “So the claim that no, they get no money, no sanction relief until they make a deal on the urine on the nuclear stuff. Well that, that, that defies what you’re saying. The strait opens Friday, then the negotiations begin for 60 days on the nuclear weapons.” (Joe Getty, 05:22)

Hosts’ Perspective

• Armstrong and Getty are openly skeptical of Iran’s sincerity, worrying it’s a stalling tactic (“a feint by Iran, that they’re just buying themselves a little bit of time,” Jack Armstrong, 05:39).
• They question the wisdom of legitimizing the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) by treating them as government diplomats rather than terrorists.
• There’s palpable unease and distrust of both Iranian and U.S. diplomatic statements.

Notable Segment:

• (06:57) Joe Getty on being told the IRGC is changing:
  “I’m supposed to believe that the IRGC, the like most committed of the committed of religious zealots of Iran... have changed their mind and decided that was a bad idea. Sorry about that. I don’t know what we were thinking!”

---

2. Legitimizing the IRGC: International Consequences

Segment Highlight (07:46–09:38)

• Hosts discuss the ramifications of the deal legitimizing the IRGC, potentially forcing Israeli and Western governments to recognize them as the official government of Iran.
• Speculation about Israel’s involvement and skepticism about the effectiveness and transparency of the peace process.
• “There’s just no way to take anything from it but uncertainty and kind of that squinty look you get when you smell something bad.” (Jack Armstrong, 09:38)

---

3. The Biden Administration’s Defense of the Deal

Key Segment (10:21–10:43)

• President Biden insists “We are not investing any money in Iran,” but the hosts note contradictions between official statements and the mechanisms of the deal.
• Ongoing uncertainty about what’s actually been agreed upon.

---

4. Other International Flashpoints: Russia vs. the UK

Russian Frigate Incident (11:50–13:18)

• Recent reports: A Russian military frigate fired warning shots within 500 meters of a British yacht as a symbolic gesture after the UK seized a Russian oil tanker.
• Armstrong and Getty riff on the escalation:
  “It could end up being nothing. Could be a stupid, meaningless gesture or it could be a raising of tensions. Who knows? Man, I miss when things were peaceful.” (Jack Armstrong, 12:45)

---

5. LA Politics: Spencer Pratt’s Impact & Post-Election Fury

Discussion (17:04–22:32)

Key Points

• Despite reality star Spencer Pratt’s failure to win the LA mayoral race, hosts credit him for “changing the conversation” about drugs and homelessness.
• They highlight the disconnect between the public’s perception of homelessness and the reality of addiction and mental illness.

Spencer Pratt Quotes (via Producer Michael):

• “I want to apologize to absolutely nobody. You think you can get rid of me that easily?... Now. It’s war.” (19:10–19:52)
• “Angelenos are now stuffed with two morons responsible for all their problems. And they have to choose between dumb and dumber. That's not a choice. That's the machine protecting the machine... The city will tumble headlong into the abyss.” (20:36–21:36)

Hosts’ Analysis:

• Armstrong and Getty see Pratt as both a showman and a truth-teller, but acknowledge he’s harnessed populist discontent around addiction and governance.
• Ongoing problems in LA (homeless encampments, crime, derelict infrastructure) are blamed on political denial about addiction and mental illness.

---

6. The Fentanyl & Meth Crisis: Reality vs. Official Spin

Discussion (22:32–24:08)

• Hosts emphasize the link between homelessness, hard-drug addiction, and mental illness, lamenting taboos against discussing these realities.
• “It is clearly true.” (Joe Getty, 24:08) regarding the correlation between addiction and visible street problems.

---

7. Domestic Extremism: The Unfolding Plot Against UFC 250

Major Segment (27:26–34:53)

Key Points

• FBI has arrested several individuals connected to an alleged domestic terror plot targeting the UFC 250 event in Washington, D.C.
• Participants radicalized online, blending anti-government, anti-Semitic, and conspiracy beliefs (including baby-eating cannibal conspiracies, Epstein, and anti-Israel sentiment).
• The hosts treat the plot with a mixture of horror and dark humor, emphasizing both the seriousness of the threat and the absurdity of the conspiracies.

Memorable Quotes:

• “He is. He’s one of those people that believe the Epstein stuff, that our elite in Hollywood and government are raping and eating babies. Okay, they’re cannibals. They’re actual cannibals. So he believed that.” (Joe Getty, 27:47)
• “I’ll take C, please. Yeah, it’s of no use, really. Horseshoe theory, you know, once you get to the ends of the horseshoe, both sides are very close to each other and practically indistinguishable.” (Jack Armstrong, 33:54)

Hosts’ Stance

• They highlight the dangerous convergence of conspiracy, mental illness, and extremism, refusing to slot the domestic terror threat as simply “right” or “left” wing.
• “Violent lunatics. I don’t hang there. Let’s just stay there.” (Jack Armstrong, 34:53)

---

8. Free Speech vs. MLB Dress Codes: Player Bible Verses

Cultural Segment (37:01–41:31)

• Controversy over San Francisco Giants players writing Bible verses on Pride Night caps, which MLB said violated uniform rules.
• Hosts note apparent inconsistency in rule enforcement—players have previously marked hats for personal tragedies or political causes without penalty.
• “Would MLB have warned a player for writing a message of, say, support for left wing politics or for the LGBTQ community?... No need.” (Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty, 39:58–40:01)
• Critical of MLB and sports leagues adopting culture war positions, suggesting a “just play baseball” approach.
• They lampoon the back-and-forth over being “forced” to wear or endorse sociopolitical symbols.

---

9. Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Scandal

Brief Segment (45:10–46:44)

• Newly surfaced allegations that a high-ranking SPLC official funneled donor money to a white supremacist lover—termed “literally sleeping with the enemy.”
• “My final thought...they were feeding steroids to the 98 pound weakling of white supremacy to keep it alive. To scare people into giving them zillions and zillions of dollars.” (Jack Armstrong, 47:00)

---

10. Final Thoughts & Wrap-Up

Crew Final Thoughts (47:00–48:07)

• Armstrong & Getty and their producer Michael sign off with tongue-in-cheek comments about chronicling LA's decline and keeping tabs on extremist plots.

Wisecracks & Meta Moments:

• “I know some people who believe this stuff… These are sick times. I’m not enjoying them. Two stars: cannot recommend.” (Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty, 36:05–37:01)

---

Timestamps for Key Segments

• Iran Deal & IRGC Legitimacy: 03:39–11:50

Summary: Tone & Takeaways

The episode typifies Armstrong and Getty’s irreverent, iconoclastic style:

• Tone: Skeptical, sardonic, sometimes darkly comic, frequently exasperated and sharply critical of hypocrisy.
• Main Takeaways:
  • U.S. foreign policy is plagued by murky deals and appeasement.
  • LA politics are symbolic of denial and dysfunction; uncomfortable truths about addiction and mental illness must be faced.
  • Extremist threats merge disparate ideologies and conspiracies—they can’t be simply categorized.
  • Public institutions and major organizations are frequently hypocritical, whether in sports or social justice spheres.

The hosts serve up a fast-paced, irreverent analysis of the week’s thorniest political and cultural flashpoints—making both global and local issues accessible with their trademark blend of skepticism and gallows humor.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Jo Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Jo Armstrong]

The deal is still under wraps. The U.S. and Iran giving conflicting versions of what's in it. Both agree the US will lift its blockade of Iranian ports and Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which had closed when President Trump launched the war. The fate of Iran's nuclear program, the reason the US went to war in the first place, will be addressed in another 60 day period of talks. Though the President today claimed to win.

[President Joe Biden]

Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that with strong policing powers, did they?

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought that was what's going to be negotiated in the next 60 days.

[America 250 Announcer]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

So we played General Jack Keane, who's a general they have on Fox all the time and is usually pretty trumpy. But he, he was saying on Fox and has been for several days about this particular deal. Look, I, when I hear stuff out of Iran, I just think, well maybe that's true, maybe it's not their lives. But when I'm hearing stuff out of our own administration that I think scares me, what am I supposed to do with that?

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean that's obviously a problem.

[Joe Getty]

Like for instance, the stuff of we're going to open the straight, the straight is going to be open Friday. Now he did originally post on Sunday, the straight is now open, then 20 minutes later said the straight will be open Friday. But the straight is supposed to be open on Friday and then the nuclear talks are over the next 60 days. Well then by definition they start getting revenue before they agree to any of the nuclear stuff. Cuz they're gonna start making money again when the strait opens up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

So the claim that no, they get no money, no sanction relief until they make a deal on the urine on the nuclear stuff. Well that, that, that defies what you're saying. The strait opens Friday, then the negotiations begin for 60 days on the nuclear weapons. So you got that part.

[Jack Armstrong]

I need somebody to Say something to me that doesn't make this seem like a feint by Iran, that they're just buying themselves a little bit of time, that it's just another ceasefire that includes the opening of the strait in return for the removal of the blockade, which gets us back to the pre war condition. Now granted, we've damaged them severely. So I'm not with the crowd that nothing has been accomplished that's been accomplished.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Well, to me this is the most disturbing clip out of lots of things that have been said.

[Gayle King]

J.D.

[Joe Getty]

vance saying this to Fox and friends about the current IRGC.

[Gayle King]

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

[Jack Armstrong]

There you go. The new era of friendship. Let's try something else.

[Joe Getty]

I'm supposed to believe that the irgc, the like most committed of the committed of religious zealots of Iran who've been saying death to Jews, death to America, their entire lives killed more Americans than any other country, maybe any other group have changed their mind and decided that was a bad idea. Sorry about that. I don't know what we were thinking.

[Jack Armstrong]

In particular, Fahiti, the new guy who's in charge of IRGC because his boss got blowed up, who's infamous for being a hardliner and is shot down any moderation moves by the civilian government. He is the senior leadership that recognizes the need for change and that's really cool, says J.D.

[Joe Getty]

well, there's one other thing I wanted to get to so this from, I forget who this was from. One of the people I respect but said this, this deal legitimizes the irgc. That legitimacy is going to be the decisive factor for a lot of players, Israel most of all. The moment the US Signs across the table from the irgc, it's treating it as a normal government instead of what the Iranians in exile say. What Israel believed going in what Trump himself said a few months ago, that the IRGC are a bunch of, you know, thugs and not the Actual government of Iran.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're terrorists.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, they're terrorists. And we're gonna sit down across for them and shake hands and smile and sign something and pose for pictures, basically declaring to the world, this is the government of Iran as we recognize them.

[CarMax Announcer]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Which has not been the case over 50 years.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is the first and perhaps the last time I will ask for Gayle King's voice to be on the show. But, Michael, if you would grace us with 53. Is Israel on board with this?

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

It doesn't appear so at this time. What are you hearing? What are you thinking?

[Gayle King]

Well, Gail, of course, Israel's been a good partner, but we, we do expect everybody in the region. They've been participating in this peace agreement. They've been participating in, in, in our talks. They understand where our perspective is. And what the President has said is that we expect everybody to honor this agreement. There are always Gaylethese bumpy moments with these ceasefires. Sometimes someone will fire and sometimes somebody responds. We think right now that there are probably people within Iran because of the Internet blackout. They're not even aware that this deal has happened. So we certainly expect the Israelis are going to be a participant in this peace process, but we think it's going to be good for them, it's going to be good for us, it's going to be good for the Gulf coast coalition.

[Jack Armstrong]

And, boy, that's a lot of words. It's okay to have difficult points that still need to be negotiated and there will be a bumpy road ahead. That's just the way the world works. But, boy, the lack of transparency about what's in this deal and how it will unfold. I mean, there's just no way to take anything from it but uncertainty and kind of that squinty look you get when you smell something bad. Let's see, do we have anything else we really ought to get? Let's hear from the president himself in 46.

[President Joe Biden]

We have a deal. That's a fair deal. That's a good deal. We are not investing any money in Iran. By the way, that rumor got out there yesterday was ridiculous. We have the right to go in someday and do. If I want to do something or somebody wants to do something, but we are not investing any money. We have no obligation to invest any money in Iran.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, so he says it's a good deal and it may well be. We just don't know yet. In the next clip, Trey Yingst brings up to me one of the absolute. This does not square with that situations with this deal as it's been described.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

We know that the agreement calls for a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. U.S. officials say Israel will be allowed to respond if attacked by Iran backed Hezbollah. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the fight is not over.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We saved the state of Israel from

[Jack Armstrong]

annihilation, but I tell you, citizens of Israel, the struggle is not over. We will have to continue standing guard, continue being strong and determined to defend ourselves as necessary. So allegedly it's a ceasefire on all fronts, but Israel that is continually attacked by Hezbollah, which is financed, supported and trained by the irgc, is going to keep doing what they're doing. So Israel's supp to just absorb it. So Trump gets his temporary Iran deal, ceasefire.

[President Joe Biden]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

We just have to wait and see. The whole thing stinks. In what could be the headline of the day, nay, the week, no, the month, no, the year, perhaps the half century, the British Ministry of Defense is investigating reports that a Russian frigate, military frigate, fired warning shots within 500 meters of a British yacht about 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight, which is there in the British Isles. No injuries or damage reported to the yacht, which is continuing on its journey. It appears to be some sort of vengeance after the UK seized a Russian linked oil tanker off the coast of the Isle of Wight, which is the first time British forces have led the seizure of a sanctioned vessel since the start of the war against Ukraine. Ministry of Defense says we're investigating reports of the incident in the Channel. So evidently Putin sending a message that your season are Shadow fleet tankers. We may exact a cost, or at least we're gonna send a couple of shots across a British ship's bow to let you know we're serious. It could end up being nothing. Could be a stupid, meaningless gesture or it could be a raising of tensions. Who knows? Man, I miss when things were peaceful and placid. 1992, that was a good time. Do you remember? Anyway, we have a lot more. No, Gladys, that's stand down. It was just a casual reference. A lot more to come. Stay with us. Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

a lot of us underestimated how likely the Spencer Pratt campaign was to succeed in Los Angeles because we liked his message so much. He had a tremendous amount of support around the country and online, but not so much within the the borders of LA proper. Sam Quinones writes for the Free Press and I think he makes an excellent, excellent point. And maybe the best metaphor for this was back on the Seinfeld show years and years ago where they were talking about breaking up with a person. It's not all at once. It's like rocking a soda machine. Then you got to get it rocking for a while before you tip it over, sam writes. Don't dismiss Spencer Pratt's loss. The former reality star lost his biz for LA mayor his bid, but his blunt talk about meth, fentanyl and homelessness changed the conversation around what really ails the city. And I've been saying that all along he was speaking the truth and introducing the truth at a fairly high level to a lot of people who never hear the truth. You can't forget how thoroughly bubbled a lot of lefty voters are. They have no idea. And you're gonna have to take a deep breath and just accept this. They have no idea that much of the quote unquote homeless problem is a drug abuse problem that the vast majority of the bums and junkies in the junkie camps are junkies. They think it's just folks who had one medical bill too many and lost their apartment. Now they're trying their best to get back on their feet and they just. They wouldn't be a drug addict except they're on the street and that's so hard. They've become fentanyl addicts. I know that doesn't make any sense? Would you become a fentanyl addict if you lost your home? I certainly would not, but that's what they believe. But anyway, Spencer Pratt has spoken the truth and people listen to it. They didn't elect him, but they listened to it, and it could change the conversation. I think Sam is right. So speaking of Spencer, he's not going away. He has vowed to continue just as an activist, you know, dropping truth bombs. Here's what he said online the other day.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

Now that the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close, and I'm moving on to the next more interesting phase. Listen, I've spent a lot of time slaying everybody. I've ridiculed everyone on the roster. And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I like to take the chance to apologize to absolutely nobody. You think you can get rid of me that easily? I know a lot of dim witted jerks thought I was in this for a grift, that I was gonna roll up and leave town if I didn't get into city hall.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's just not fair.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

Hey, morons. I didn't get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine. And nothing has changed. You enjoy your worthless meetings in city Hall, Nicki.

[Joe Getty]

You have all this information. You're running for mayor. Show what you're really about or get the out of the ring.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

I'm gonna be lighting you up every single day. And now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don campaign laws hamstringing me. Now. It's war.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's war. And there's more. But, you know, Jack asked the question earlier. Is he just being his reality star self and looking for publicity and followers and that sort of thing? You know, I'd say, you know, maybe. But if his mission is exposing the truth like James o' Keefe has occasionally done things I don't love or. Who was that young man who exposed the the utterly corrupt centers in Los Angeles? I can't remember his name, but I'm sure you'll remind me of it. But hey, if they're doing the right thing, exposing the truth, good for them. Next clip.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

It's zero hour for Los Angeles. Angelenos are now stuffed with two morons responsible for all their problems. And they have to choose between dumb and dumber. That's not a choice. That's the machine protecting the machine. And now every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate. And the city will tumble headlong into the abyss. You have no idea how many major developers, hoteliers, business owners, entrepreneurs have been texting me saying they're packing up and leaving town. More of your favorite restaurants will be shuttering. That means less tax revenue. That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities. And we haven't ended it. You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city. Look at this place already. Weeds growing from every crack and crevice. Graffiti over every square inch of public space. Garbage, drugs, feces burned up, dogs burned down towns, abandoned storefronts. This city is a mess. And you're about to reward the arsonist who torched a place with four more years of destruction. I know he's very bitter.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you remember Fareed Zakaria's clips that we were playing yesterday on the show in which he, a man of the center left, is describing LA as well. He quoted a big time Hollywood producer, said LA is becoming a sunny version of Detroit. The numbers are stark. The motion picture industry has left LA to a large extent. Lots and lots of businesses are listening. So yeah, if. If Spencer Pratt is agreeing with Fareed Zakaria, I think he has a point. One more clip.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

My goal hasn't changed. I've been laser focused on stopping these commie animals and I will stop them. If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait. We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it. So, Karen Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. He says he's got that in his pocket and is going to unleash it at some point. All right, you got to bring the goods pretty soon, Spencer. But back to Sam Quinones, who points out that much of what burdens the city today and all cities on the West Coast. I'm looking at you, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, which is cleaning up at least the tourist areas, but Sacramento, you name it. Much of what burdens the city today is connected to the supplies of fentanyl and meth. Certainly that includes homelessness and encampments, vectors for diseases like typhus, not to mention rape, pimping trash, murder and more. It's also cost the of the also the cost to repair streetlights stripped of copper. It's the drain on the fire department from the enormous number of calls each day relating to the most visible and deranged homeless people. It's parks that families can no longer use, abandoned houses burned or otherwise destroyed by homeless squatters, landlords who have to raise rents to cover the damage wrought by nearby encampments and businesses suffocating on streets strewn with trash. It's the downtown's downturn and the dreamy, grim panorama the city so often presents to visitors and residents alike. And then the most ridiculous thing Because Jack and I have been saying this for years and years, for some time now, it has been taboo to discuss these drugs, the mental illness they cause, and their connection to homelessness. Dissent was silenced and shamed. It should not be heresy to suggest that those on the streets are often drug addicted and mentally ill. Yes, it's been proved over and over again by science. You do the super meth, it damages your brain. It makes you mentally ill.

[Joe Getty]

It is clearly true.

[Jack Armstrong]

But recognizing that would derail the billions of dollars being handed out to the NGOs that's at the bottom of this

yourself craving a cold snack?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yep.

[Jack Armstrong]

Montucky makes my favorite cold snack. It's a cold snackable beer.

[Commercial Announcer (Wells Fargo)]

Director Cash Patel, in a statement released to ABC News, said on June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside the national Capital region. The investigation so far involves individuals in Ohio, Missouri, California and Nebraska.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, the one in California. They've arrested five people, but there are a couple of dozen people involved. Anyway, one dude they arrested California we mentioned earlier. He is. He's one of those people that believe the Epstein stuff that are elite in Hollywood and government are raping and eating babies. Okay, they're cannibals. They're actual cannibals. So he believed that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Baby cannibals, right? Baby rapist.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, you have to be willing to have sex with the baby and then chop it up and eat it. That is. I'm not horrified by saying that because it's just doesn't happen.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Like, I don't mind being flippant about this because it's not a thing. It's not going on. So you don't have to be worried about being respectful of these, you know, horrible things that are happening. They aren't happening. So one of these other people arrested. This is out from the New York Post now. A guy arrested in Ohio. So that was a guy in California. This guy arrested in Ohio after his mother notified the police department of concerns about her son's recent conduct, including firearms purchases and communicating with certain individuals online. Those persons claim to be ex military and Christian based. The mother later said in a phone interview with an FBI task force officer. Their grievances included government corruption, the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. So online.

[Joe Getty]

No kidding.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, government corruption. All right, I'm with you that so far.

[Joe Getty]

They're probably not worried about the same kind of government corruption you're worried about. The mom detailed talking with these individuals online had caused her son to lean heavily into his religion. She believed that those individuals were using religion to manipulate and influence her son. She overheard him speaking with phone by phone and mentioning that he was undergoing physical training for recon and a hit it in the private chat group the suspects debated targeting Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican, Tennessee, several other senators, all Republicans. By the way, here's a quote. I got a possible target. Marsha Blackburn is senator for Tennessee. One of the posts said responding she was a target because the Republican had taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby and supports them so willing to kill a senator because they took money from an Israeli lobby.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'd read that one of the people was actually arrested at a mental institution. Which sounds about right.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Some of these people, if they aren't already at a mental institution, should be there soon.

[Jack Armstrong]

Soon enough.

[President Joe Biden]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

In fact, I'll bet some of them will be there, like by the end

[Joe Getty]

of the week when executing a search warrant on the home where this person lived with his parents. Shaw, you still live with your parents? I'll be darned. FBA agents and local law enforcement found a large quantity of boxes of spent ammunition, spark spent cartridge casings and other tactical clothing as he was training for this attack. Wonder how long.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, so it was pretty serious. Family wondering earlier whether it was just yay, who's mouthing off online.

[Joe Getty]

Clearly not Family members also drew the authorities attention to comments this person had made online expressing sympathy for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, as well as other anti Semitic statements.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

He had spent his. He had just spent $3,000 on camping gear, food, ballistic plates, a new shotgun, rifle, lots of ammunition, extra magazines, etc, his father told the authorities.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Absolutely. Intent and preparation.

[Joe Getty]

Here's a little more. He confessed to investigators in a June 11 interview that he had been planning a coordinated attack with others too jumpstart a revolution in the United States which they believed was headed in the wrong direction and needed to be torn down so that it could be rebuilt. But it sounds like torn down from the. This doesn't sound like Marxists. It sounds like the ultra maggot crowd kind of.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. With the whole Christian element to it. The variety pack of crazy that sometimes comes together in a crazy person. I mean, baby raping and eating Jew lovers who. I mean, how does that come together?

[Joe Getty]

Well, Israel's involved in the whole pedophile ring. They're like behind it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I see.

[Joe Getty]

Because I, like I've said, I know some people who believe this stuff. So Israel's behind the whole thing. So that's how that gets tied in. Some involved in the plot had initially connected on a TikTok group called Vanguard of the Old, but later transitioned to communicating via the private messaging app Signal. Then they talk about the couple of people that were arrested in Southern California charged with conspiracy to commit murder. And we left out here. In case you haven't heard it already, the plan was going to be to attack that big MMA fight that Trump had on the White House lawn with drones that would get people running a certain direction. Then they were going to have snipers set to start shooting people as they ran

[Jack Armstrong]

to start a revolution.

[Joe Getty]

To start a revolution to stop.

[Jack Armstrong]

To thwart the baby eaters, to stop

[Joe Getty]

infant cannibalism, which is not rampant.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not really. Certainly not. Israel generated infanticide, rapine eating, so it doesn't really matter.

[Joe Getty]

I suppose it's going to matter in the coverage. Are these right wingers or left wingers? Or are those terms pointless in a conversation like this?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll take C, please. Yeah, it's of no use, really. Horseshoe theory, you know, once you get to the ends of the horseshoe, they're both sides are very close to each other and practically indistinguishable. And I remember having the thought way back in college, Gladys. There I was sitting in my short and T shirt, which was condemned by my favorite professor. So I started to dress a little better, thinking, you Know, functionally, communism and fascism don't seem to have much difference.

[President Joe Biden]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, they, they claim their ideological, you know, claims or, or rationalizations are different,

[Joe Getty]

but they've gone to war against each other.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. But I'm ended up in the same place and y' all were doing the same stuff. I says to myself, I says, so anyway. Yeah, are they right wingers or left wingers? Violent lunatics. I don't hang there. Let's just stay there.

[Joe Getty]

I don't recall using that tone of voice.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, that's going to be the entire. No, not at all. That's going to be the entire question, though, that will run through the newsrooms of America today and determine whether they're going to. Well, this, this needs to be taken very seriously because these people are Trump loving right wingers or let's not overstate this.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Because they were, they were angry at the billionaires and the Epstein class, which could also be the left wingers.

[Jack Armstrong]

So yeah, again, new wing, like a freak mutant three winged bird.

[Joe Getty]

If you believe, actually, if you believe the Bushes, the Obamas, the Clintons and everybody are part of any one group of appalling behavior that's just crazy on its face.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, profiteering from the government, I believe, but that's kind of where it ends. And isn't that enough?

[Joe Getty]

What do you do with this? What do you do with a crowd that believes that you should kill anybody who takes money from the Israeli lobby?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. Treat them like, you know, a violent death cult, I guess.

[Joe Getty]

Who was it that said the other day, somebody smart that no way, whoever becomes the Democratic nominee, you're not going to become the Democratic nominee for president. If you've ever taken a dime from aipac, the Israeli lobby, you could have

[Jack Armstrong]

taken the absolute max. Plus all of your packs under the table. Took zillions of dollars from Qatar. That back. The Islamic Brotherhood. Is that the name of the, is that the name of the organization?

[Joe Getty]

Muslim Brotherhood.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Muslim Brotherhood, yeah. Oh, I knew that wasn't quite right. And, and have housed Hamas for decades. And the rest of it, you can take all scads of money from Islamists, that's fine, but not the Jews. Good Lord, these are weird times. These are sick times. Oh, boy. I'm not enjoying them. Two stars cannot recommend.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I didn't realize the baseball players had written their stuff on their hats during a game. For some reason I thought it was. I was picturing something different. But there's a picture of a San Francisco Giants pitcher. He has written a Bible Verse on his hat as he is on the mound. And I can see why that's against Major League baseball rules.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't, can you, Jack? Can you? He says, oh, this is great. Teed up like a golf ball and whack 300 yards right down the middle. So San Francisco, the Giants has Pride month and Pride Night where the San

[Joe Getty]

Francisco is a very gay town. If you don't know that, what now? Breaking news

[Jack Armstrong]

with the team wearing hats with a rainbow colored Giants logo. Get the rainbow back.

[Joe Getty]

All right.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a Prisma light. It's the visible band was struck.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everybody knew that anyway. Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verses on their hats. The Bible. That's right, sir. Or the designation of the Bible verse. One picture said, it's just about God's covenant and a promise he makes to us that his faithfulness and his mercy. There's no hate at all. It's just what I stand for and what I stand in. I believe in God, he said. Said, all right. So naturally, the. That did not go over well with sports writers who criticized all the pitchers who did that. It was several of them and an MLB officials now warned those players against violating the rule and writing on their cap and writing under violates our rules. Consistent with normal practice. We've warned the players, blah, blah. Here's the point that's made by. Who's this writing? I'm not sure. Um, it's interesting that the league chose to issue this warning, considering writing on the cap has long been a part of the Sport. During the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, players from both sides wrote number 51 on their hats as a gesture of support for Dodgers reliever Alex Vizia. He and his wife had tragically lost their newborn baby daughter as the series was starting. No warning there, which I get.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Another Dodgers reliever, Drew Truec, two crosses with Charlie Kirk's name on his hat after Kirk was assassinated last year. Clayton Kershaw also wrote a Bible verse on his pride night hat. No warning there.

[Joe Getty]

I didn't know Clayton Kershaw did that. Somehow I missed that story.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or Aldous Chapman and Adoles Garcia in 2021 wrote SOS Cuba on their hats during the All Star Game, which admittedly is just an exhibition game, but, you know, SOS Cuba is, you know, pretty good cause. And then they asked the question, would MLB have warned a player for writing a message of, say, support for left wing politics or for the LGBTQ community,

[Joe Getty]

For example, would you like me to answer that question.

[Jack Armstrong]

No need. This is, after all, the same leadership that pulled the All Star game out of Georgia because of complete slanderous, disgusting misinformation from Joe Biden, Stacey Abram and left wing sports writers about the state's new voting rights bill. It was Jim Crow on steroids. Which is a disgusting thing to say. Hey, I tell you what. Look, I get it. You want gay people to come out that night. It's a week night, probably, I think. And you want gay people to buy overpriced hot dogs and overpriced drinks. You want to feel poor, go to a San Francisco Giants game. Yeah, a couple of dogs, couple of beers. That'll be $350. Anyway, I get you want the gay folks to come out and spend their hard earned money. I get that. That's fine.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But

[Jack Armstrong]

it's a political slash sociological issue. How about you just play baseball?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Straight people night when Straight people night.

[My Favorite Murder Storyteller]

Huh.

[Joe Getty]

I suppose those players feel like you're making me wear stuff that has a political message on it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, and arguably a biblical message as well, given the Bible's rather unequivocal stance against homosexuality. Believe what you want to believe. I'm not telling you what to believe. Sounds like you are. I'm not.

[Joe Getty]

I think you're dramming it down my throat.

[Jack Armstrong]

I am. Right down your throat.

[Joe Getty]

Take it. Take it.

[President Joe Biden]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

We will finish strong next Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, wow.

[Joe Getty]

Huh?

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

It's quite a joke. You didn't like it? Let's see. I'm looking for the perfect quote.

[Gayle King]

Where is it?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, there it is. Perfect. So this story is delightful. A top Southern Poverty Law center official is accused of helping funnel $1.2 million in donor money to an informant in the national alliance white supremacist group who was also allegedly her lover. The DOJ filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups. They were telling donors that they were fighting, you know that.

[Joe Getty]

So she's sexing up some Nazi and giving him a million dollars.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, and she was a high placed official. I'm looking at her right now. They even shared a bank account.

[Joe Getty]

So you're not quite as appalled by these people as you were claiming.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, yes. Evidently 58 year old fascism expert Heidi Byrick, who is the director of intelligence at the SPLC for a number of years, alleges that she was very close to the informant known only as F9 who infiltrated the neo Nazi organization National alliance in a romantic relationship. They shared a house and two bank accounts. Literally sleeping with the enemy and supporting white supremacy. My final thought will be.

[Joe Getty]

Thomas.

[Jack Armstrong]

So on this in a moment.

[Joe Getty]

I'm sorry it caused me to doze off. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the show for the day. Michelangelo keeping us on the air, pressing the buttons. What's your final thought, Michael? You know some people have bible verses

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

on their backs and you, you can

[Jack Armstrong]

read them and stuff like that. What about cooking instructions? Somebody on the back.

[Michael (Producer/Engineer)]

Place oven to 350, put the meatloaf in a pan, cook for 10 to 15 minutes, serve hot and enjoy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. Just write down your back.

[Joe Getty]

So wrong turn once.

[Jack Armstrong]

Jack, a final thought for us.

[Joe Getty]

I'm gonna spend the next 24 hours digging up more nuggets about these wackadoos that had the drone terrorist attack plot. I want to know more about these crazy nut jobs.

[Jack Armstrong]

And speaking of wackadoos, the whole spot TLC thing where they were feeding steroids to the 98 pound weakling of white supremacy to keep it alive. To scare people into giving them zillions and zillions of dollars. As Thomas Sowell put it, racism is not dead, but it is on life support. Kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as racists. Or Thomas raising tens of millions of dollars.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
