Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. Political Extremism & Rhetoric

• Brandon Johnson’s Civil War Comments
  • Chicago Mayor accused the right-wing of wanting to undo the Civil War and subjugate minorities.
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (03:53):
      "Yeah, I continue to try to use Confederate currency when I go shopping. Not having a lot of luck. Brandon Johnson, union hack jackass, is one of the worst mayors in American history."
  • Reflection on increasingly hyperbolic political statements intended to inflame partisan bases.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (04:06):
      "People have just got to stop saying stuff like that... How do we get everybody, Trump included... to stop saying such over-the-top things that are designed to whip up the craziest 5% or 10% on each side?"

2. Political Satire & Media Coverage

• Gavin Newsom & Scott Bessant (Openly Gay Treasury Secretary)
  • Newsom’s office used AI-generated imagery mocking Bessant, leaning into gay stereotypes, which Armstrong and Getty strongly criticize.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (06:48):
      "That's full on. Attacking the guy for being gay and trying to like make that the issue. That's absolutely 100 what that is."
• Double Standards in Media
  • If Bessant were a Democrat, his sexual orientation would be emphasized; as a Republican, it's ignored.

3. Immigration, Law Enforcement, and "Critical Theory"

• Left-Wing DAs & ICE Agent Prosecution
  • Covered the announcement by some Democrat DAs to "hunt down" ICE agents who break the law, likening the rhetoric to death threats.
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (08:52):
      "We are gonna hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis... we will dox you and hunt you down. Yes, but that's not a threat."
• Masking ICE Agents Dilemma
  • Debated the complexity of requiring law enforcement agents to reveal their identities even amid credible threats to their families.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (09:26):
      "...before he was wearing a mask, he got doxxed, he got sent pictures of his wife and kids in front of their house and a threat that you're gonna miss them when they're gone..."
• Weaponizing Accusations and Critical Theory
  • Reflection on how accusations of racism, homophobia, etc., are used strategically rather than out of real principle.
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (11:41):
      "They use principles only as a weapon to get you to be quiet and be afraid and stumble and fall all over yourself and deny..."

4. Free Speech, Protests, and Journalism

• Don Lemon’s Arrest & Media Spin
  • Satirical take on the mainstream media portraying Lemon’s arrest as political persecution, while the context was a protest disruption at a church.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (19:04):
      "Don Lemon, in case you don't know, minor host of a minor cable news channel. Someday we'll break out of the nostalgia of thinking that TV's a big deal."
  • Debate about the blurry lines between activism and journalism when recording and participating in protests.
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (21:24):
      "...I'm doing a special report on the lack of security in liquor stores. So I go in there and rob one ... You can't arrest me. I'm a journalist."

5. Education & Equity

• Elimination of Gifted Programs in NYC
  • Discussion of NYC’s move to eliminate gifted programs due to demographics, critiquing the rationale of “equity” by leveling down.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (30:01):
      "...why can't we enjoy meritocracy? It's perfectly fine. ... If they're, you know, smart to the point that they're going to be bored in second grade, put them in the special class and let them go."
  • Satirical take on America’s shifting attitude towards "best and brightest."
    • Quote, Joe Getty (30:32):
      "We used to say America's best and brightest with great pride."
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (30:40):
      "Now we think that's awful. They're communists."

6. Homelessness and Public Policy in Cities

• NYC reverses course on homeless encampment sweeps, seen as a precursor to pushing for more government-controlled housing.

7. Climate Anxiety & “Decolonization” in Schools

• Federal funding flows to groups teaching kids that America is built on “occupied, unceded lands;” lesson plans channel kids into climate despair.
  • Quote, Joe Getty (34:48):
    "Climate change emotions?"
  • Quote, Jack Armstrong (35:25):
    "It's like your wife gets home and you leap out with a bloody knife and then you turn and say, honey, you seem really shaky lately. Are you all right?"
• Satirical read-through of institutional guides for land acknowledgments and climate emotion “wheels,” mocking their performativity and psychological effect.
  • Quote, Jack Armstrong (39:05):
    "...we should consider our own place in the story of colonization and of undoing its legacy. You know what decolonization means, right? It means overthrowing the system..."

8. Pop Culture, Sports, and Misogyny Satire

• Olympics Coverage and Lindsey Vonn
  • Irreverent, sometimes sharp-edged jokes on why sports celebrities might “lose focus,” poking fun at media/Internet obsession with athletes’ appearance and social feeds.
    • Quote, Joe Getty (27:58):
      "Well, don't you think if some athlete was... doing something that wasn't focused on their sport and then did poorly, they'd be saying they lost their focus. They do that all the time."

      "No, listen, you just. This is straight misogyny. I want absolute misogyny."
  • Jokes about Norway and Austria dominating winter sports.

9. Epstein Files Release

• Reported announcement that millions of pages and thousands of images and videos from the Epstein files are to be released, spurring sarcastic speculation about whether there’s anything new or “juicy.”
  • Quote, Jack Armstrong (23:47):
    "I feel like I've been given a life sentence. Hanging my head, I'm thinking about the mistakes I've made. It will take the rest of my life to go through all that and release it in utterly meaningless dribs and drabs."

10. Health and Exercise Science

• Referenced a new study showing that even minimal exercise has measurable health benefits.
  • Quote, Joe Getty (43:13):
    "15 minutes of exercise per week reduced death by 18%. 15 minutes per week."
  • Discussion about why depressed people struggle to exercise, with the cyclical nature of depression and lack of motivation.
    • Quote, Jack Armstrong (44:49):
      "...if you challenge your body and challenge your mind continually and there are a variety of ways you can do that... nature says, yeah, oh, you're still active, you're still hanging around, you're still useful."

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.

[Joe Getty]

Foreign. There's two things.

[Jack Armstrong]

One, it's clear that the far right in this country that they have not accepted the results of the Civil War.

[Joe Getty]

And that they have longed for a rematch to, to, to have a republic that subjugates and subjects individuals to a permanent lower class. That's the mayor of Chicago saying the right wing of this country, of course, who's anybody, center left and to the right of that can't accept the results of the Civil War in 1865 and wants to subjugate, I guess black people. I don't even know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I continue to try to use Confederate currency when I go shopping. Not having a lot of luck. Brandon Johnson, union hack jackass, is one of the worst mayors in American history.

[Joe Getty]

People have just got to stop saying stuff like that. How do we get everybody, Trump included. How do we get everybody to stop saying such over the top things that are designed to whip up the craziest 5% or 10% on each side?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'd say it'll end when people just, they get used to it, they get tired of it and realize, you know, what is happening. But the problem is you introduce a new generation of young voters, you know, pretty frequently and they fall for all that dopey crap. Anyway, coming up live, team coverage of the arrest of Don Lemon is at the end of journalism in America. Stay with us. So, mentioned this briefly a few minutes ago, wanted to pay it off. A couple of things that do I explain the, the headline or the heading, the umbrella, if you will. Maybe I'll do that after one or two examples. So Gavin Newsom, who is the utterly corrupt governor of Cal Unicornia, the kleptocracy that is draining the Golden State of its, its wealth and its people, got into a bit of a urinating contest with Scott Besant, the Secretary of the treasury, who happens to be the highest placed openly gay man, one of the highest, you know, ranking gay people in history in the United States, certainly that.

[Joe Getty]

Were openly gay, but never ever gets mentioned. No, indeed, because he's a Republican. If he were a Democrat, it would be part of his name every time it came up. Treasury Secretary first. Openly gay, blah, blah, blah. If it was a Democrat, since it's Republican. Nobody even knows he's gay, which is actively.

[Jack Armstrong]

Keep it quiet.

[Joe Getty]

That's the way it should be. It shouldn't be worth mentioning. But.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'm sure Scott's fine with that too. He's like, yeah, I'm not this treasury secretary because I'm gay. Treasurer secretary because I'm like super great with money. Anyway, so they got into that. The, the, the sniping contest, if you will. And in a post from the official Governor Newsom press office profile on X. Now this is where Gavi is trying to be his Trumpiest. Scott Besant was portrayed in an undoubtedly AI generated picture mock up of the Real Housewives of Davos. And this picture. And I'll send it to the crew here, I should have already, so everybody could see it, but engages in like multiple gay stereotypes. He's reclining on a couch, wearing pink head tilted, smirking, bitchily, holding a glass of champagne. The. It gives him the moniker Bootlick. And Scott, the Real Housewives of Davos. And it says, I always defend my man. My motto, it's a hedge fund, not a hedge fund.

[Joe Getty]

I was ready to jump in and claim, you know, because often people make comments and they claim it's racist or homophobic or whatever. It's just ridiculous. That's full on. Attacking the guy for being gay and trying to like make that the issue. That's absolutely 100 what that is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely true.

[Joe Getty]

Here is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Move on.

[Joe Getty]

We do have a clip of Scott Bessant. I don't know which clip this is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Go ahead. To go on the international stage is a big deal. And he had to go to Davos to see all the CEOs he chased out of California. But I actually think he was cracking up a little. See that? That's what brought on the clap back, the owning by Gavin Newsom.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. I am going to empower you in a moment or two, friends.

[Joe Getty]

Stay with us.

[Jack Armstrong]

A coalition of left wing district attorneys, largely funded by George Soros and crew, launched an initiative to prosecute federal immigration agents in their jurisdictions. The project for the fight against federal overreach, which is CAFO. All right. Led by communist Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and communist Minneapolis District Attorney Marion Moriarty launched blah, blah, blah. But they put out a statement saying, and I want to get this exactly right. I'm sorry, it disappeared on me. Well, here's the summary of it disappeared. We are gonna hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis threatening federal immigration officials in that way. We are Going to hunt you down. Keeping in mind that if you put a crosshair on a district that's a death threat, if a Republican does it, it's just crazy. Yeah. Okay, so Larry Krasner, Philadelphia, pledged to hunt down ICE agents who break the law. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for dec, we will find your identities, we will find you. So we will dox you and hunt you down. Yes, but that's not a threat. That whole.

[Joe Getty]

So the government looming government shutdown is because the Democrats want some changes in ICE enforcement or they're not going to fund dhs. And one of the things they want is they're no longer allowed to wear masks. That issue is damned interesting and I don't know where I am on it because the idea of, you know, police wearing masks is scary for all kinds of reasons.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure.

[Joe Getty]

But like for instance, I saw a guy, an ICE agent interviewed yesterday. He was either ICE or Border Patrol, but either way, he said before he was wearing a mask, he got doxxed, he got sent pictures of his wife and kids in front of their house and a threat that you're gonna miss them when you're, when they're gone because they could identify him. So, I mean, how do you live in a world where you're not going to let people get masked if that's going to be the result, I really don't know what the answer to that is.

[Jack Armstrong]

One more for you. This is Elliot Foran, who's a Democrat running for the Attorney General of Ohio in clip 11. Michael. I'm sorry, clip 16. Hi, this is Elliot Forhan, candidate for Ohio Attorney General. I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump. I mean I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed, of capital punishment. That is what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump. Okay, so. And that guy actually served a term in the Ohio legislature. He's not just a yahoo, he's a maniac. But so, and then you have the continual, like, systematized assault on white people, men. So you've got just overt gay bashing, you've got direct threats of violence, you've got never ending racism from the left. So here's how I empower you. And I think a lot of you woken up to this already. But for a long time, this worked. When they accused anybody on the right of some horror, we would fall all over ourselves trying to refute the charge, assuming that they actually thought that or that they actually have values.

[Joe Getty]

That are.

[Jack Armstrong]

That hate that sort of thing. They use principles only as a weapon to get you to be quiet and be afraid and stumble and fall all over yourself and deny, for instance, that you're a homophobe or a racist. If they actually held those principles, the New York Times would have front page articles about all of these things today. But they ignore them completely. They don't believe those things. That's critical theory. That's how critical theory works. You attack your opponent based on anything you find.

[Joe Getty]

It's hard to imagine the New York Times not having an article about someone saying, I am going to kill Joe Biden. I mean, it's really hard to imagine that that wouldn't make the news. I mean, obviously we get Joe's microphone fixed. No. Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we're good. Yeah. Yeah. So again, if somebody says, yeah, you're a racist, don't even bother saying, no, I'm not. And please don't waste my time. Unless you are. I mean, if you are a racist, stop being that.

[Joe Getty]

Well, it's time to take a break anyway. So it's good timing for our microphone to go out, but I do want to see what, what the thinking is on the whole masking thing, because I, I can't wrestle that one to the ground in terms of which side I am on that we want to tell you about Simply Safe real quick, though. I love the fact that I Simply safe sign in front of my house, alerting people to the reality of the AI powered cameras inside my home, the sensors, all the different stuff that helps keep my home safe along with 5 million other Americans, because it's simply safe. It's the best home security system, according to U.S. news and World World Report for five years in a row. They actually can identify trouble before it happens, before somebody breaks in, alert the authorities, et cetera, et cetera. It's great.

[Jack Armstrong]

I love it.

[Joe Getty]

And right now, you can get 50% off any new system this month only. It's a great time to upgrade to security that actually helps stop crime before it starts. Go to SimpliSafe.com Armstrong that's SimpliSafe.com Armstrong there's no safe like Simplisafe. What do you think about that issue of Masked Agents? I understand why we don't want it, but I don't understand what you do about the doxxing situation text line 415295.

On Point Game with me, CJ Toledano and Isaiah Thomas, it had a great take on Cade Cunningham making his all star debut as a starter. Take a listen.

[CJ Toledano]

He deserves it. He's arguably the best guard in the game right now. His team is one of the best teams in the game right now. So it's like it's well deserved. He, he, he earned that. So shout out to him, man. I think with how good they're doing, they should get at least two in the All Star game though.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Who you think? Who else? Who else?

[CJ Toledano]

Big fella Jalen Duran. He's one of them. I think that's the next one. He's a big piece of what they got going on. So.

[Joe Getty]

Yep.

[CJ Toledano]

You got to give love to Cade, man. He's doing what he does, man. I even watched the game last night where they played the Celtics and he didn't really have a good game, but it's just his presence on the floor like he gets anywhere he wants. He's a big guard. They got nice size and he's strong and physical, so he's a tough cover man. So shout out to him on his first time.

[News Reporter]

Breaking news now, just into our CNN newsroom, we are learning journalist, former colleague of ours, former CNN anchor Don Lemon, has been taken into custody, arrested just days after a protest inside a Minneapolis church.

[Joe Getty]

So I suppose I haven't been following this, but I suppose the mainstream media is presenting it as the Trump administration jailing journalists like he's Stalin or Hitler, and ignoring the fact that Don Lemon may have been involved in disrupting a church service which actually is violating so many civil rights. And a couple other people have been arrested in this story.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Let's get a few more of the facts first, then we will analyze.

[Announcer]

What we have learned is that last night in Los angeles in the 11 o' clock hour, Don Lemon was arrested in the hotel lobby in Beverly Hills and taken into custody. Now, it is not clear at this time what he is charged with or if he is charged in a criminal complaint or if he is charged in an indictment which would have been returned by a grand jury. But it does appear to be connected to that because as we reported earlier this week, the attorney general, Pam Bondi, was livid that Lemon was not charged. At the time it appeared that they were going to continue to try to bring charges against him. And now we know that Lemon was arrested last night in Los Angeles, where he was in town to cover the Grammys.

[Joe Getty]

Don Lemon, in case you don't know, minor host of a minor cable news channel. Someday we'll break out of the nostalgia of thinking that TV's a big deal. There are hundreds of YouTubers and Twitter people and podcasters that are so much more influential than Don Lemon could ever be.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, he's trying to become one of those things now, but, yeah. So how perfect was it? He was arrested at a hotel in Beverly Hills. That's very.

[Joe Getty]

Don Lemon after partying with some rapper. I didn't know I just saw up on the tv.

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael, in the next clip, please. Fellow weak act from cnn, Brian Stelter commenting.

[News Reporter]

I think I view this in context with Trump administration attempts to target other perceived critics. Think about Letitia James. Think about James Comey. Think about the many cases we've covered in the last year of Trump retribution. Don Lemon is another figure on that list. President Trump has repeatedly attacked Lemon, both when Lemon was an anchor here at cnn, but again, more recently, Trump has made no secret of his disdain for Lemon. And Lemon, of course, has been harshly critical of President Trump for many years as well. So he is a Trump foe. And this is another example of the administration targeting a Trump foe.

[Joe Getty]

If Don Lemon falls in a forest, does it make any sound? I mean, so it's tv talking about TV to try to. Try to make it seem all relevant. But whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Somebody please go with the headline, Trump puts the squeeze on Lemon. You have to. The universe demands it.

[Joe Getty]

It's a must.

[Jack Armstrong]

So as, as I mentioned earlier, and I'm sincerely, really interested in this question, because Don Lemon, it was clear to me, was in on the disruption of the church.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. Because he was. He was cocked and ready to go, clearly, when he went up to that preacher there and started hitting me with.

[Jack Armstrong]

His questions, trying to generate some really good progressive content, stick it to those white Christians.

[Joe Getty]

So.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the fact that he had a phone in hand and was gonna post it makes him something like a journalist. So how do the courts deal with that? I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the example we gave earlier is I'm doing a special report on the lack of security in liquor stores. So I go in there and rob one and stab the guy in the belly and take all the money from the register. You can't arrest me. I'm a journal. I was covering the story, the story of robbing liquor stores.

[Joe Getty]

Obviously, that Wouldn't work. But certainly in any sort of trespassing thing or anything like that, I alert your protesters. Okay? We're all journalists, right? Has everybody got their phone out and their, you know, YouTube channel that you set up? So we're all journalists, and now let's go trespass or do whatever it is we're going to do, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly.

[Joe Getty]

Who's to say you're not a journalist?

[Jack Armstrong]

And friends on the left. First of all, thanks for listening. You must be very patient. Secondly, what if the agitators were blocking access to abortion clinics, but they were recording what they were doing and it wasn't clear who was a journalist and who was an activist? We're all journalists here, and those women can't get into the abortion clinic. Would you be okay with that? Where's the line? It is a fascinating constitutional question, which.

[Joe Getty]

I think they're probably going to have to wrestle to the ground. You want the most annoying news of the day?

[Jack Armstrong]

Boy, that's. There's already been some pretty annoying stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Go ahead. The Deputy Attorney General named Todd Blanch, who I don't really know, but I saw the other day, we both, like Rich Lowry from the National Review, said, man, anytime Todd Blanche is on the scene, it's. It's. It's better for the country, as opposed to his boss, who is Pam Bondi, which tends to whip things up. But anyway, Todd Blanche is the Deputy Attorney General of the US he said the Department of Justice is not going to redact the images from the Epstein files. Now, just the fact that I mentioned Epstein files is enough to make you throw open your mouth. But then also mentioned there are 3 million more pages of Epstein files to be released. 3 million pages, 2000 videos, and 180,000 pictures, which they aren't going to redact when they release them. So. Remember when they released some completely inconsequential videos and pictures a couple weeks ago, and that was just a handful, but they. But the media made a, you know, a weekend out of it. Wait till you get 2,000 videos, 180,000 images, and 3 million pages. Y' all. Knock yourself out going through that stuff.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow, that.

[Joe Getty]

That's.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like I've been given a life sentence. Hanging my head, I'm thinking about the mistakes I've made. It will take the rest of my life to go through all that and release it in utterly meaningless dribs and drabs.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, you got to assume, don't you? Although that's a lot. That's a lot. Maybe nobody has gone through all of it. That's possible. That's a lot. But you would think if there was anything really juicy, exciting in there, it would have been found already, wouldn't you?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. As I've said before, either there's nothing there or the powers that be have successfully hidden what's in there. And that hasn't changed.

[Joe Getty]

Okay?

[Jack Armstrong]

It will never be released.

[Joe Getty]

They have now released it. 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, 180,000 pictures are out. So there we go.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Jack Armstrong]

In his first ballot, super bowl winning coach Bill Belichick wasn't elected to the Pro Football hall of Fame. Adding to the heartbreak, his girlfriend also lost her bid for student council.

[Joe Getty]

That's one of the better ones of those I've heard.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right? Right. You know it was coming. You just didn't know what shape it would take.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly. That was a good one. So in Olympic news, Lindsey Vaughn spent too much time thinking about how she looks in a bikini yesterday. Strutting around putting out Instagram cheesecake pictures. Lost her focus, crashed this morning on one of her runs skiing and had to be helicoptered out of there. So she is injured and this is her last go around at the Winter Olympics.

[Jack Armstrong]

All of this based on your extensive knowledge of top level Olympic skiing?

[Joe Getty]

Well, don't you think if some athlete was, I don't know, gambling or what, whatever, doing something that wasn't focused on their sport and then did poorly, they'd be saying they lost their focus. They do that all the time.

[Jack Armstrong]

Time being in a swimsuit is not doing something.

[Joe Getty]

Picking out the right pictures and getting in the mount, spread out throughout the day so you get the maximum number of clicks.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, listen, you just. This is straight misogyny. I want absolute misogyny.

[Joe Getty]

I just want to defeat the Norwegians. They're thinking about how to get down the hill the fastest, not how do I look in the tiny black bikini.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Really good.

[Joe Getty]

By the way, I just sent the picture to everybody. So everybody know? Yes, Katie.

[News Reporter]

I, I think she's showing off the muscles that she's getting down the hill with.

[Jack Armstrong]

I tell you what is a 41 year old woman. Holy cow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, to be accurate, she gets part way down the hill and then the fence stops her and then a helicopter takes her the rest of the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. You're just a rotten human.

[Joe Getty]

What happened today?

[Jack Armstrong]

No, your soul is rotted. That's a shame. It's a we, it's any day now. And here it is the day his soul rotted away. Wow. One of the most gifted American athletes of all time. Blah, blah, blah.

[Joe Getty]

Who, Speaking of gifted, they no longer will have a gifted program in elementary schools in New York because of Zoran Mum. Donnie. Uh, he announced it and they have put it into practice already. The gifted and talented program that they got in the schools is going to be eliminated. Critics have attacked the coveted learning model as racist due to the higher number of white and Asian students that gain entry through the examination. So more white and Asian students test high enough to get into the gifted program. So you just do away with it and that makes things better how exactly? I'll give you as much time as you want to explain to me how that makes things better.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can. It gives equity.

[Joe Getty]

It brings equity in that everybody is at the lower level. It is equity.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, there's. There's Right. Equality of outcome. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Backers of the program argue getting rid of the classes would eliminate opportunities for thousands of bright students from low and middle income families. You don't need to throw in low and middle income families. Just why can't we enjoy meritocracy? It's perfectly fine. I don't care if it's a rich kid or a poor kid. I don't care what color they are. If they're, you know, smart to the point that they're going to be bored in second grade, put them in the special class and let them go. Let the other kids like me. I was never gifted. Let the rest of us dullards sit back in the regular class and do our thing. We'll be fine. But it doesn't bother me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Dullards?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. It doesn't bother me.

[Jack Armstrong]

We used to say America's best and brightest with great pride.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Now we think that's awful.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're communists.

[Joe Getty]

If there's too many Asians that are the best and brightest, well, then that's bad. What I think is interesting about this is he's bringing back what Mayor de Blasio. Socialist. Not a communist, but a socialist mayor. And eight feet tall. For two mayors ago, he eliminated the gifted program on his way out the door. When he left as mayor, did you know that? I didn't realize. I knew he did it, but I didn't know he did it. Out going out the door. Then Eric Adams, a much more reasonable human being and a crook, he. He put it back in immediately. Like the next day when he took office in New York. And now the communist takes over and gets rid of it. So there you go. That's just fantastic.

[Jack Armstrong]

Quite a run of communists and or crackpots running Gotham what's ailing the great city.

[Joe Getty]

And then you add that to the story we had yesterday, that New York City cops, sanitation workers have been ordered to stop Taking down homeless encampments and letting homelessness, I guess, come back. Homelessness. Drug addicts able to walk the streets of New York like they once did. They did done amazing job in New York at getting rid of the street people. But they're going to be back. Yeah. Yeah. At least in the touristy areas.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, the idea being that's a great publicity stunt to explain why you need to. I almost said nationalize government ties housing like his. His rental equity commissar or whatever that crazy lady's title is. We need to rethink the ownership of homes. Needs to be more communal. Yeah, look at all those people on the streets. We probably better do it right now anyway. You know, crazy.

[Joe Getty]

I haven't seen the video. Was she trying to ski in stilettos? That's probably why she crashed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. Just keep digging. Just keep digging. Hand them down a good shovel. Keep digging the hole of hatred.

[Joe Getty]

Fine. Let the Norwegians win and get the gold medal. Fantastic. So keep the Norwegians in their place. Aren't they the ones that always win all the ski stuff? They win the most medals usually. Or a ton of medals in the Winter Olympics, if I remember correctly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Austria.

[Joe Getty]

Austria is really good. Norway's really good. Especially for their population. Amazing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah, indeed. Never turn your back on an Austrian. And don't just give your. Your dog. It's a crappy food that'll last 10 years on a shelf. Take a look at these rough grains, which is amazing stuff for dogs. It's not a different food. It's an addition to the food that project. I'm sorry. Promotes longevity by addressing common nutritional deficiencies found in processed dog food.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, this is a good idea. You add it to the current dog food you've got and with all the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, all the different sorts of things, it's really good for your dog as they age. A lot of stuff for that. So you can try it out. Ain't gonna cost you nothing. But the shipping Ruff Greens is offering a free jump start trial bag. Just cover shipping. Use discount Code Armstrong to claim your free Jumpstart trial [e-mail] why wouldn't you just try it? And it's spelled rough R U F.

[Jack Armstrong]

Natural antioxidants, anti inflammatory compounds really help your dog as it ages. Again. Roughgreens.com use that promo code Armstrong. So don't change your dog's food. Just add rough greens and watch the health benefits come alive. Woof.

[Joe Getty]

So CNN is at a good solid 40 minutes now of non stop up Epstein coverage. Since the announcement that 3 million pages have been released, 2,000 videos and 180,000 pictures have been released now by the government. So look forward to that story all day long. You can all talk amongst yourselves. I won't be paying any attention.

[Jack Armstrong]

I will be reading a book. The federal government dovetailing off of your education story there, is pouring millions of dollars each year into an environmental activist group that teaches children the United States exists on occupied, unseen, unceded, seized territory and offers tips to the school kids on how to deal with climate change emotions, according to public spending records.

[Joe Getty]

Climate change emotions.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. They terrify the kids about climate change and then make a big deal of kids climate anxiety.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's a good one. So little kids who don't know any better, they're little kids. So if their teachers tell them the earth may die within your lifetime, in fact, before you turn 20, we'll all be drowned in boiling water or whatever they're telling them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everyone will die.

[Joe Getty]

And of course, a kid takes that seriously and is horrified. And then when they're horrified, we need special programs or ointments or therapists or whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

More money.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

More communism. It's like your wife gets home and you leap out with a bloody knife and then you turn and say, honey, you seem really shaky lately. Are you all right?

[Joe Getty]

What's.

[Jack Armstrong]

We probably ought to look into this. These people are God. They piss me off. The National Environmental Education foundation, or nef, a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization, receives. Nonprofit. That is one of my favorite words. Now, once you get hip to it. So they don't show a profit on their balance sheet, but they pay their CEO 400k. They got 15 different education coordination specialists that are making 250k.

[Joe Getty]

They all have a car.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah. And they just. They're spreading out zillions of dollars like that fake Stacey Abrams crap. Anyway, nef, Congressionally chartered nonprofit organization, receives annual government funding and is its. And has its board of directors appointed by the epa. It is also tasked with organizing National Public Lands Day, a celebration the president proclaims each year. When was the last time you did anything for National Public Lands Day, Jack? Including recognizing its existence? But they publish a guide to indigenous land acknowledgement for participants to use, including your little kids, at their government schools that recommend that the hosts and teachers begin with a statement declaring that local native groups are the traditional inhabitants of the lands. You're on.

[Joe Getty]

And I should what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I'm about to answer that question, you bigot. Organizers should consider their own place in the story of colonization and of undoing its legacy.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, then give me a. All right, I considered it.

[Jack Armstrong]

And make explicit mention of the occupied unceded nature of the territory in which a gathering is taking place. And they included the sample statement in their guide. We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the occupied, unceded, seized territory of the oh my goshy people.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. As I have said many times, my son had to do that day one of history class at his. At the public school history class he took their acknowledgment stage statement which is the most performative, masturbatory nothing I can. I can't even imagine outdoing that as a nothing burger.

[Jack Armstrong]

One lesson plan asks students to fill out a climate emotions wheel in which they draw right down their feelings proposed emotions and because you've got to propose emotions to a kid, include outrage, despair, panic and shame.

[Joe Getty]

God, we should be marching in the streets about this sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know. People just must not be aware of it.

[Joe Getty]

It's funny, my Sam and Henry's mom yesterday was on quite the rant about public schools. And I said, you sound exactly like Joe. You sound exactly like Joe. Joe said that this morning.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, she's right. Probably every point. And my final note. Did you. It kind of might have squeezed by you there as Jack was making his wack witticisms, but that we should consider our own place in the story of colonization and of undoing its legacy. You know what decolonization means, right? It means overthrowing the system, the government. It means ending liberal western democracies in the name of socialism or communism. That's what decolonization means. How much time do you have you heard them spending on decolonizing China's colonies? How about Russia's colonies? Any. No, of course not.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and here's the funny thing. If we fall apart, then we become a colony of China or Russia. Probably China.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, right.

[Joe Getty]

You can cry and scream all you want about being. Being colonialized, colonized by China, but they ain't gonna care.

[Jack Armstrong]

Teacher, My climate emotions include happiness, joy and enthusiasm. I love it. I can play golf deeper into the winter now. This is fantastic. More global warming. That's what I say. I'm sorry, I'm gonna need to ask you to choose between panic, shame and despair.

[Joe Getty]

That's weird. My. My climate emotion is extreme ecstasy. Has that ever happened before? Is that weird?

[Jack Armstrong]

Orgasm. It's crazy.

[Joe Getty]

Full on orgasm. NASA's taking us back mankind back to the moon. The Artemis mission has been delayed because too cold at the launch site. So because that's happening any day now, that's gonna be exciting to watch. They're not the people ain't gonna get on the moon, but they're gonna get real close and orbit it. And I gotta believe the pictures are gonna be incredible with modern technology. I can't wait to see them.

[Jack Armstrong]

That'll be plus you got AI some.

[Joe Getty]

Moon men in there.

[Jack Armstrong]

You just gotta, you know. Exactly sort of six legged creature with tentacles.

[Joe Getty]

There's Jimmy Hoffa, there's Amelia Earhart.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's some sort of walking octopus thing. Look at its teeth, long like daggers.

Good news for people who hate exercise. A new article published by the journal Nature suggests that you need much less.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

Than you may think to improve your health.

[Joe Getty]

People doing as little as 15 minutes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of vigorous activity a week saw an.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

18% drop in their risk of death.

[Jack Armstrong]

And in fact, just a few short two minute bursts of activity, like taking the stairs or carrying in heavy groceries, could reduce mortality by 38%.

[Joe Getty]

15 minutes of exercise per week reduced death by 18%. 15 minutes per week.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Wow. I'm not a doctor. I've played a doctor at times in my youth. But anyway, think about a system, a human being, a circulatory system, your respiratory system, just everything if you never challenge it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I've never been. I've always been pretty active. For whatever reason, I just can't do that. But I've known people, I had roommates or whatever, that the only exercise they got was walking to their car and then from their car to work and then the reverse period or like walking into the bar or from the bar back to the car, but that was it. And I always wondered, what does that feel like to like, you know, your lungs, your knees, your whatever, to not get any more use than that? I would think you'd have to feel it, but I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you do, right? But I mean, and I don't know the, the actual, you know, biochemical answer to this question, but there's got to be gunk that gets cleared out or enzymes that are released or whatever just by exercising, you know, little opposed to again, none.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, my mom and dad were such huge walkers when I was younger. Every night they'd walk several miles. And I think it's why my dad is gonna be 89 this year and went for a walk with all of us after our Christmas meal.

[Jack Armstrong]

But I loved what you said the other day. It stuck with me that you. If you convince your body that your body is not needed anymore by mankind or nature or your family or whatever, and then you convince your mind, your mind does not need it either in any way, it just let everything go slack. Well, nature says, okay, fine, yeah, I know what to do with you. Goodbye. Yeah, but if you challenge your body and challenge your mind continually and there are a variety of ways you can do that. A lot of. A lot of fun. Then nature says, yeah, oh, you're still active, you're still hanging around, you're still useful. Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

To a large extent. I mean, some people get unlucky, obviously, but, you know, I'm going to air to the side of, you know, challenging the body and the mind if I can.

[Joe Getty]

How wild is that, though? 15 minutes a week. That is not much.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, but I love that message because I, I hate those. When they give you the, like, maximalist ideal and people hear that and they get discouraged. You know, just start with practically nothing.

[Joe Getty]

You want me to do a little more than that, then? A little more than that.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's so good for you.

[Joe Getty]

You want me to go with the sad angle on a Friday? Are you ready for the sad angle, Katie?

[Jack Armstrong]

ON Nobody wants that.

[News Reporter]

Why would you do that?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why?

[Joe Getty]

Jack? A number of people I've known in my lives, my life, I've only had one.

[Jack Armstrong]

As far as, wow, going Buddhist over here, a cat.

[Joe Getty]

A number of people I've known in my life who did not get any exercise. I'm pretty sure if you hit him with the conversation, they'd say I'd be perfectly fine dying. I don't care. They didn't.

[News Reporter]

That's grim.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, I think that's the situation there. The in. I think they hated their lives enough that. So you're arguing that I need to exercise so I can have a longer life. I hate my life now.

[Jack Armstrong]

The reason that's so sad is that if you were exercising, it would change your brain chemistry.

[CJ Toledano]

It.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely.

[Jack Armstrong]

You'd have a different perspective on your life.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. What I try to convince my kids of that, that actually, you know, has so much effect on your sleep, your mood, just all kinds of different things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Ah, that's the, the. The grim reality. Depression, though, is that it's a. What is it? It's a circle or a rabbit hole or a gr. A conundrum. It's something so. Well, no, you just. The more depressed you get, the more less you are to. Less likely you are to do the things that can end.

[Joe Getty]

Is tough. You know, Katie, you probably know this because you lost a ton of weight and we're exercising regularly. You're one of the.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, you're talking about weight. You can't say ton. That's a specific way.

[Joe Getty]

Well, it kind of was a ton, so you're.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're safe.

[Joe Getty]

That is funny. You're right. You can't use ton if you're talking weight, like just a euphemism.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I had to walk so far. It was like 10 miles. No, no, no. It's a specific length. No use. Find a different metaphor.

[Joe Getty]

But you're one of the few people I've known that have lost a lot of weight and actually kept it off, so. But when you're out of shape, it's so painful to work out that you don't want to do it. And when you're in shape, it feels so much better and it's so much easier, you're more likely to keep going. And that's what Joe was just talking to you. That's the old good for the goose, good for the gander, or the old runaround or whatever it is.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the polar vortex, I'm not sure.

[Joe Getty]

The inertia of.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, well, and.

[News Reporter]

And the change. Like you guys were saying in your mental.

[Jack Armstrong]

After you work out.

[News Reporter]

I mean, that's a whole reason to do it in itself.

[Joe Getty]

I've got to. I. So I. Last year I started stretching my legs and everything like that, and it changed my life. I need to start stretching my upper body. For some reason, though, I realized the other day there's a very large part of my body I cannot itch. It just is. Under no circumstances could I possibly reach that part of my body. Body just can't be done.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's just leave it right there.

[Joe Getty]

I have got to start stretching. I'm gonna hire somebody. Sleeve boy. Could you come a little higher? There you go.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank you. Scratch me a little higher. Oh, boy.
