Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Armstrong and Getty
Armstrong and Getty.
Joe Getty
And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Armstrong and Getty
I'm from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb.
Joe Getty
A significant number of these migrants. And when I hear colleagues talk about the doors of the inn being closed, no room in the inn, I'm saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes. And those members could, could clearly fit here. That's the quiet part out loud. Congresswoman Yvette Clark from New York saying we need lots and lots of illegal immigrants here because then, you know, that helps with redistricting.
Armstrong and Getty
Well, that's the sort of claim that Tucker Carlson makes and then gets attacked for. Right, right.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Or we've made.
Armstrong and Getty
What is that called? There's a name for that that they, they, they, they accuse Tucker of all the time. The Tucker crowd. Replacement theory.
Joe Getty
Great. Replacement theory. Yeah, it's kind of, it's, it's on the same page. Yeah. Yeah. So I'd like to call this a tale of two mayors and a president. A tale of two mayors and a president. New San Francisco Chronicle poll released just two days ago. Foundation that 73% of San Francisco's approve of Mayor Daniel Lurie's first six months in office. This is only 25% disapprove. And they are crackpot.
Armstrong and Getty
This is incredible. I don't live in San Francisco, but I wish they would have pulled me because I've been saying this for a while now with my own anecdotal evidence from my own eyeballs. As a guy who goes into downtown San Francisco on a regular basis, it is night and day different from what it was a year or two ago. Night and day.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
Last time I was there with my son, we had to walk to the Tenderloin to find a homeless person to, to. I wanted to show my son, you know, what the, the worst part of San Francisco was. But just walking around the regular areas, no homeless people. Zero. Mommy. You couldn't say that fairly recently.
Joe Getty
I prefer the term transient drug addict or junkies. But to Each their own. Evan Simon, great piece in the California Globe. He describes how Mayor London breed and the city council communist. What was his name? Aaron Peskin, who also ran, but how Laurie crushed them. Daniel Lurie, the new guy. And he goes into how they tried to tack to the center but people weren't having it because San Francisco had become the poster child for dysfunction. One of his first acts was to declare a fentanyl state of emergency. Shortly thereafter, Lurie spearheaded a massive cut to the San Francisco budget, helping solve the overspending problems that plagued the Braden administration while not cutting the SFPD or public safety funding. In the past few weeks, Lori has kept up the trend of undoing the progressive policies by cracking down on junkie camps, by severely limiting RV parking times, a bunch of other stuff, and again a 73% approval rating in his first six months. I'd like for him some of the.
Armstrong and Getty
Stuff that's happened I haven't seen any reporting on. Like how did the sidewalks and streets get so clean? Did they, did they use fire hoses on everything overnight at some point? I mean, it's just, it's just like sparkling clean compared to what it was a year ago. It's stunning. I've never seen anything change as much as San Francisco changed in the amount of time that I've been going there.
Joe Getty
You know, it's as simple of. As simple as. And the fact that people don't get this frightens me. It's as simple as if your town is crappy, it's because it's being run crappily. It's because of bad policy and bad politics. They can blame whatever they want, budgets or, or the white man or whatever. It's not that, it's. It's policy. So that's Daniel Lurie in San Francisco. Then you got poor old Jacob Fry in Minneapolis. The left wing activist, Minnesota mayor. Minneapolis mayor. You, you may remember him weeping openly in the wake of George Floyd's death. It was called performative. Here in the Washington examiner, he wailed about a hundred years worth of intentional segregation, institutionalized racism. He downplayed Black Lives Matter riots by claiming the rioters were from out of state and probably conservative plants, blah, blah, blah. Well, when it came time for him to get reelected, the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party abandoned him and instead endorsed his top opponent, State senator Omar Fattah, a destructive left wing ilog, a socialist, a Jew hater, an Islamist anti police activist. They just dumped Jacob Fry. Jacob, you bent over backwards, you prostituted yourself to these people and they dumped you because of the color of your skin. You are a white fella. You will not do anymore. Good luck, Minneapolis. I told you. Two mayors and a president. Here's the president. The fabulous Neil Ferguson wrote a great piece for the Free Press about Javier Milei Milay and what he's accomplished in Argentina.
Armstrong and Getty
Oh, yeah, some of these stats are incredible.
Joe Getty
Oh, I was rooting for him so hard when he got elected a year and a half ago when he was sworn in in the end of 23. Argentine economy was an incurable basket case. Gross domestic product was shrinking by one and a half percent or more a year. According to the imf, per capita gross domestic product on an inflation adjusted basis was lower in 2023 than it had been in 2007. Public finance is in disarray. IMF estimated total public debt around 90% of GDP. 40 billion of it was owed to the IMF. A culmination of no fewer than 22 programs. They mentioned the previous socialist government's reckless physical and monetary policies had created annualized inflation. Get this. You remember when it was like 9% and people were screeching their annualized inflation exceeded 200%.
Armstrong and Getty
I don't even know how you function in societies like that.
Joe Getty
So that $10 steak is now $30 two days later. Or one year later, rather.
Armstrong and Getty
I hope, I hope. I never lived through anything like that. I've always been amazed when you hear those stories. Just like you just give up, like immediately. Like I'm, I'm broke. I'm completely broke. Everything I've worked for my whole life is gone.
Joe Getty
And then operate proverbial wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread.
Armstrong and Getty
Right.
Joe Getty
You know, in the last days of the Confederacy or whatever the. So it was annualized inflation exceeding 200%. Indeed. The wholesale price inflation in December of 23, when Milei took over was 54% month over month.
Armstrong and Getty
Oh, my God.
Joe Getty
Technically, hyperinflation according to the widely accepted definition. Uh, let's see.
Armstrong and Getty
Boy, if that's not. I don't know what you gotta be.
Joe Getty
Uh, to give you some idea that in 2023, the price of a latte roughly tripled from 1500 pesos to 4500 if you're a latte fan, if you're.
Armstrong and Getty
Still drinking lattes when inflation is 500% or whatever. Wow, you're optimistic. I'd go ahead and, like, just make coffee at home, maybe.
Joe Getty
And restaurants and coffee shops had to print their price, their menus on paper because they were adjusting their prices twice a month. Okay, that's what he inherited. After less than 20 months, Melay has eliminated the fiscal deficit, cutting it from 5% of GDP to zero. He's reduced the number of government ministries from 18 to 8. Chainsaw. Remember he gifted Elon Musk with the chainsaw. He said Ministry of Tourism and Sports, out. Ministry of Culture, out. Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, out. Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, out. Over and over again. With Executive Order 70 issued a few days after he was inaugurated, he deregulated key markets including property rentals, commercial airlines. Oh, property rentals. Mum. Dami. He deregulated them. Deregulated commercial airlines and road freight transport. Labor market reforms took longer but were enacted after a fight with Congress. You know, I could get into more statistics and all. He's overhauled the import system, removed quotas, licenses, none. Those certifications. And how did he do it? Long term program attacks and regulatory reform.
Armstrong and Getty
How did he do it? Indian casinos?
Joe Getty
No. But the result of the shock therapy has been a stunning recovery. He's brought monthly inflation down from 13% to 2%. The economy is not shrinking anymore. It's growing at 7% a year. Investors are buying up Argentine stocks and bonds which they had not for a very long time after a brief upward jump. Because there's going to be pain when you administer shock to a system. The poverty rate has fallen from 42% to 31%. There's a great deal to be done, but it is a stunning success, as of course it is. The free market works so much better. In fact, that's, that's a too faint a way to put it. The free market is worlds better. World's better than government control.
Armstrong and Getty
Just because you mentioned the free press that you're reading from Barry Weiss, who started the Free Press. She was a journalist at the New York Times. She's a lefty, but not as crazy as the other lefties there. They were also woke. They hated her, partially because she supported Israel. Anyway, she left the New York Times, started her own thing, the Free Press. She's trying to go public with that and its valuation is going to be somewhere between 200 million and $250 million.
Joe Getty
Great.
Armstrong and Getty
She started it two years ago.
Joe Getty
I wish I had a shred of that.
Armstrong and Getty
Good for her.
Joe Getty
Yeah, she's terrific. I love the Free Press. I'm a big fan.
Armstrong and Getty
Well, yeah, I, I see it as, you know, one of the good guys winning, which is always nice, but just that there's a hunger out there for reasonable journalism, obviously.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And you know, she and, and most of the staff there. Well, they have all sorts of. I mean they have Neil Ferguson who is unapologetically conservative, but they're liberals, not progressives.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah. Between her and Mark Halperin's amazing growing success and everywhere that he is and all the things he's got going, it gives me some hope that there are enough people out there that want even if it's not their cup of tea politically, they, they believe you're trying to be honest about it.
Joe Getty
Right. That's.
Armstrong and Getty
That's what I want. I, I don't care if you're, you know, way to the left me on your politics as long as I believe what you're telling me is true and then we can come to different conclusions.
Joe Getty
Right. You're not. Yeah. Yeah. I hate being pandered to. It's insulting to my intelligence. A lot of people like feels oogie to me but you know, teach their own. You sink or swim in this business and so far we're swimming. We appreciate you being here. If you like the show, tell a friend. If you don't mind your own business.
Armstrong and Getty
Where are the 10 wealthiest suburbs in America? Among other things we could talk about just for fun. I don't know. We got to come up with something.
Joe Getty
I used to live next door to one of them.
Armstrong and Getty
Really?
Joe Getty
Yeah. Because you're one of the incredibly wealthy from birth. Silver spoon. No no no. It's the the patchwork of Chicago suburbs. You had very affluent then kind of nice and then very working class Cheek.
Armstrong and Getty
Bajao Armstrong and elite Getty is what.
Joe Getty
We'Ll call that's not even really.
Armstrong and Getty
We'Ll get to some Venus Williams won a tennis match last night. Interesting note about that. You'd hate to be the one who lost she that lost to her. Anyway, stay tuned. Lots of stuff on the way.

So, as we speak right now, the sentencing hearing is going on for Brian Kohlberger, the monstrous psychopath, former PhD student in criminology who butchered those four poor young people in Idaho to see if he could get away with it, I think. And the survivors are. The families are testifying right now. And. And it's incredibly heavy and dramatic and sad and brutal and any but a friend of mine who's watching this live just told me one of the moms said you got A's in college, but you're gonna get big Ds in prison.
Armstrong and Getty
Oh, that's a good one.
Joe Getty
Oh, my Lord, I have no idea how I would react. I pray God I never find out, but. Oh, that's quite a line.
Armstrong and Getty
That's a good one. Why. What. What's the motivation to participate in this sort of thing? I feel like. And, you know, I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about this, because who wants to? I feel like I wouldn't. Not. Not dignifying you with even talking to you. Go to prison for the rest of your life, you scumbag.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And they pressed him with a series of questions and all, I'm sorry, that's super serious. I just. I couldn't believe that line.
Armstrong and Getty
That's a good one.
Joe Getty
Anyway, we'll have more on that later. Oh, those poor people.
Armstrong and Getty
But what. What is. What is, in theory, the. The. The goal of this sort of thing?
Joe Getty
You have the right to confront the person. Well, it's part of the sentencing. You go before the court and you explain, yes, his crime was terrible, and here's why.
Armstrong and Getty
So it can.
Joe Getty
Because he has attorneys saying, look, he was a troubled kid, he got kicked around or whatever. He should get a very light sentence. And the family's there to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
Armstrong and Getty
So you're. You're. You could affect how long the sentence is?
Joe Getty
Absolutely. Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
Well, that'd be motivation to show up, because otherwise, I just, you know, you've taken enough of my time in my life, and I'm not going to dignify even speaking to you, you scumbag. Enjoy the rest of your life in prison.
Joe Getty
Well, and as they addressed him or asked him questions, he just stared at him.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah, right. That's a horrible deal. I did see What? I don't remember what news shows was. They were interviewing some former life sentence prison dude talking about how they treat guys like him in prison. So she's accurate. He is not going to have a good time in prison unless there's a tremendous effort made to separate him from the regular population.
Joe Getty
Right? Yeah. Do we want to hit the audio and we'll do the Venus Williams things next?
Armstrong and Getty
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do this.
Joe Getty
Quick message from our youngest daughter. Aubrey wanted to say you may have received A's in high school and college.
Jack Armstrong
But you're gonna be getting big D's in prison.
Armstrong and Getty
Thank you.
Joe Getty
Laughter and then applause. I know. I, well, I laughed too when I heard it first, but good lord, that's some dry dark humor.
Armstrong and Getty
She means penises.
Joe Getty
Yes, she does. He's going to be raped in prison.
Armstrong and Getty
Good. That's not the way the system is supposed to work. As a libertarian ish person, we have a system for figuring out the punish. It is. And it doesn't include extracurricular punishment by.
Joe Getty
The biggest, meanest, toughest guys who then get their sexual jollies while they're in prison. No, that's not our system. But I get it.
Armstrong and Getty
But I don't mind that it's going to happen. How about that? I don't mind that that will happen to him.
Joe Getty
Horrifying.
Armstrong and Getty
That is Venus Williams the tennis player. Do you remember her? She's 45 years old. She won a tennis match last night. An actual WTA tennis event. The oldest player to ever win an actual sanctioned by the group that sanctions all these tennis tournaments match. We'll hear from her and we'll revisit her father. Longtime listeners of the Armstrong and Getty show. Remember, this is one of our favorite clips of all time. If we were going to do a clip of the, you know, Armstrong and Getty universe, it would make the top 10. I mean it's pretty good. That and other stuff on the way. Stay tuned.

Joe Getty
I had to come back for the insurance because they informed me earlier this year I'm on Cobra.
Armstrong and Getty
That's pretty funny.
Joe Getty
So I was like I got to get my benefits on started training.
Lenovo Ad
She's actually not lying about that because.
Joe Getty
We talked about about that about six years ago.
Lenovo Ad
So you're actually telling the truth.
Joe Getty
You know, insurance is hard insurance.
Jack Armstrong
You guys know what it's like and.
Joe Getty
Let me tell you, I'm always at.
Jack Armstrong
The doctor so I need this insurance.
Armstrong and Getty
Wow. That's why Venus Williams came back to tennis. I have a feeling she made enough money she can cover her medical bills. Wow. But so Venus Williams became the oldest tennis player to ever win a WTA actual like tennis event at age 45. I feel like not have enough attention being given to the poor girl who lost to her which couldn't have been her greatest day. 23 year old ranked 35th in the world. So no slouch. Yeah, lost in straight sets to 45 year old Venus Williams which is pretty impressive that 40 mark. There are some athletes that can compete against the good 21 year olds when they're 40, but not much further than that. I mean those are rare stories.
Joe Getty
Sure, that's fine. She is obviously, yeah, 45 is getting up there.
Armstrong and Getty
Anywho, Venus Williams who won her, she won her first match, her big tournament when she was like 16. So we're looking at like dang near 30 years ago when she came out of Compton and took Wimbledon and US Open and all these different tournaments by storm as a child. And then later her sister who actually turned out to even be better. But anyway when she won her first tournament and everybody was excited about this girl here was her dad in his first go around with fame being asked about how people back in the neighborhood are reacting to local girl done good. Oh they all are jumping, they're yet jumping and they probably gonna go go out and smoke a little weed, you know, get some beer and even rejoy.
Joe Getty
The rest of the night.
Armstrong and Getty
There you go. That was a pretty earthy take. And I think everybody liked that because a lot of your tennis professionals come from the sorts of neighborhoods where I see them. Actually in my neighborhood when I go lift weights at the country club, these boys and girls, lots of girls out there who are like 12 years old with a private tennis coach tossing balls to them for. For a couple hours every single day. It's a lot different than the way Venus and Serena came out to it.
Joe Getty
I expect the folks back in the Hamptons will be enjoying some champagne, some caviar, and we'll rejoy the rest of the evening.
Armstrong and Getty
We're gonna get a weed, probably some beer, and rejoy the rest of the evening.
Joe Getty
They're all jumping, jumping and yet jumping.
Armstrong and Getty
And they're probably gonna go, go out and smoke a little weed, you know, get some beer and even enjoy the.
Joe Getty
Rest of the night.
Armstrong and Getty
Yep. Why wouldn't you? So another wrinkle in the story that has grabbed so much of America. The CEO and the chick getting caught at the Cold Blade concert and how that whole thing has played out. From the overthinking IT department. I've got something that was actually in the substack today. I'll get to but. So his wife has disappeared to one of their other homes. They live in a $10 million home, but she's disappeared to their, excuse me, cabin that is only worth $2 million up in Maine. And trying to hide out because all the media is trying to get to her, which has got to suck. Which is kind of the. A little bit of the point of this article I just came across by some woman. It doesn't matter who she is. Why are we so into this? This woman writes, it's classic schadenfreude, pleasure in another person's misfortune. But in the Internet age, it's also more than that. We've collectively decided that Andy Byron, a white man with lots of money who had the audacity to cheat on his wife in a stadium full of people, is a bad person. It's astoundingly simple. Because he is a bad person. There's no limit to what we expect him to withstand. The memes and the commentary and the AI generated comments, his folder plastered on front page news sites around the world. Um, the further we dig, the worse the man becomes. He wasn't only cheating, he was cheating with the head of hr, which turned out to be a lie. I guess she says her, I don't know. She had received a promotion very recently and was in a relationship which is not true anyway. What? What, Whatever. It doesn't matter. Was he abusing his power to hide his affair? He's the kind of man who cheats on his wife, so he's capable of anything. But what does this public shaming, this outrage, this witch hunt actually achieve? Who are we doing for it for? I suppose Andrew Byron's wife knows she was be. Is being cheated on. Although I don't think we can pretend this entire spectacle is for her benefit. So we're not like, piling on him to make her feel better.
Joe Getty
Exactly right.
Armstrong and Getty
Her name too is being published and she's now had to go hide in a home to try to get away from everybody. Her photos are being pawed through throughout her entire life. Her life is being unpacked on social media. Now, we might think we're restoring the moral order by deriding him, expressing a tacit solidarity with her, but I imagine she kind of wishes she wasn't so famous and that this had happened in quiet, if it happened at all.
Joe Getty
Yeah, this person is a little overly serious about all of this. They're missing some of the main points.
Armstrong and Getty
Well, are we doing it for women, broadly? Is this justice, vengeance, symbolic power for every wife and mother who cared for their family at home while their husband cheated on them in public? Is it about wealth? Is it about privilege? Why do we enjoy this so much?
Joe Getty
I don't think having the Coldplay cam at baseball games is a quote unquote witch hunt at all. I think it's funny because what they did was funny. It got attention because it was so obviously a pantomime of what they were doing. I mean, it was like it was intentional. It was so egregious and silly. But what's going on? Two things. Number one, yeah, people are expressing solidarity around certain values about you don't cheat on your spouse and you don't do it in public. And they're also doing what people do all the time. They're. They're acting as if they're all pure hearted by condemning other people's sins. I mean, the, the, the Bible is. There are several references to that. The whole. Wait a minute. You're awfully interested in that other person's sins, aren't you? It's all you talk about. Why don't we spend a minute on yours? Nah, you don't want to, do you? There's a hell of a lot of that going on too.
Armstrong and Getty
Are you claiming I got a log in my eye while I'm trying to enjoy this story?
Joe Getty
Roughly speaking, yes, yes. So, you know, there's all sorts of motives. Pure, impure, purely fun. I mean, if you're rooting through this poor wife's life and posting her pictures, you're an a hole.
Armstrong and Getty
You are.
Joe Getty
Yeah, just try not to be an a hole.
Armstrong and Getty
What a drag for her. I mean, it would be both families with kids, just, you know, horrible.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
But to add to it that now you're, like, gonna get recognized at the grocery store and people are gonna want to take selfies with you while you're going through the worst time of your life that you may never recover from fully.
Joe Getty
Right, right. Well, speaking of a holes in British bands, that's a great transition culture British band. Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
I don't know. I don't know anything about Coldplay.
Joe Getty
That's fine. Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
Gwyneth married a Foreigner. I don't know how I feel about that.
Joe Getty
Anyway, so over at the Oasis show, frontman Liam Gallagher pausing with fist fighting his brother. I think they've got that stuff behind him. Anyway, said quote, and I wish I could do his northern England accent, but do we have any lovebirds in the house? Don't worry, we ain't got any of that. Cold place, nighty effing camera ass. It doesn't matter to us who you're effing, mingling with or tingling with. None of our effing business. And they went into the next song. Wow, that is a very Oasis thing to say.
Armstrong and Getty
I'm looking up at a TV show right now. I don't know what it is, but it's one of your daytime television shows, and they've got some expert on having a relationship with another employee is always, you know, that sort of line of the. They keep showing the kiss and ducking away over and over while the expert explains how having relationships at the workplace can be fraught. And this is why. Here are the eight ways to stay. Yeah, okay.
Joe Getty
Oh, you're exhausting. Nobody wants that.
Armstrong and Getty
Shut up.
Joe Getty
He said, oh, my God, it's me. And she gasped and dove for cover.
Armstrong and Getty
It's funny, the piling on people, though, that kind of makes us feel good. Is a weird emotion, though.
Joe Getty
Oh, it's incredibly unhealthy.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah. And almost impossible to not do.
Joe Getty
To some extent. Yeah, well. And there are incredibly brutal, horrible, unhealthy expressions of that, too, in. In fundamentalist religious Right.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah, no kidding.
Joe Getty
Where you don't dare say, look, that woman doesn't deserve to get stoned. She got raped. You don't dare say that. You've got to throw the stones with more enthusiasm than anybody else to show that. Yes, I condemn it too.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah, it's sick. It is a sick tendency. We will finish strong. Next Armstrong and Gettysburg.

Here are some other headlines. Tonight, a life threatening heat dome is intensifying. It's expected to press. We didn't realize that new term is out there. A life threatening heat dome. Good Lord.
Joe Getty
On lthd Good.
Armstrong and Getty
Somebody warned me ahead of time.
Joe Getty
It's amazing how much the network news likes weather stories.
Armstrong and Getty
I don't know why.
Joe Getty
Every night on abc. I don't. Life threatening storms.
Armstrong and Getty
I refuse to believe there's an appetite for that. I think it's just easy and cheap.
Joe Getty
Ah, yeah, maybe oldsters like it. I don't know. We were amused by the term life threatening heat dome though. And I said it reminded me of like a metal guy does California scrambling and unfortunately he's off today. But we thought we needed some sort of life threatening heat. Don't Jing dome jingle. What do we have? Michael? That's pretty good. One more time.
Armstrong and Getty
That of course, in honor of the death of Oswald Osborne.
Joe Getty
Correct? Yeah. The great man has passed. Was that our only choice or do we have another one? Michael?
Armstrong and Getty
Oh my God.
Joe Getty
That's more like a Jay Gilesy feel to me.
Armstrong and Getty
All right.
Joe Getty
I like the first one. Oh, there's more. Oh boy.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah, well, it's nothing to trifle with.
Joe Getty
What would you describe that style as?
Armstrong and Getty
I don't know.
Joe Getty
Play it again. I don't know, wow, like 90s hip hop pop or something. That was terrible. First one was best. Oh, speaking of fun in the sun. North Korea. This is exciting. You're looking for a beach vacation. You're thinking, you know, where I'd like to go is North Korea. If they had a great beach resort. Well, they have opened such a facility. This is exciting. Kim Jong Un hailed it as one of the greatest successes this year, and they've opened it up, although unfortunately, some Russians went there and said, all the North Koreans seem to have been brought here for appearances and they're not really here on vacation. And they published that. And so North Korea has banned foreign visitors from their hot new communist beach resort, at least for now. Very, very attractive country where two thirds of the populace is starving, but they have a new beach resort for foreigners. And then this story, this is another North Korea story. And this. You're going to think, I make this made this up. This is so crazy. So I think I brought this up. Maybe you've heard this. Thousands of North Koreans are now drawing US Salaries by assuming the identities of Americans to secure remote jobs. They started doing this during COVID and it's really taken off. They're like computer geeks and. And they're doing. They actually do the jobs, although they're frequently double dipping, because you can do that, I guess, and just get your work done and then go to your other job and get your work done online. But they're drawing US Currency, which they desperately, desperately need, into North Korea by the thousands. This is the crazy part. The FBI. I shouldn't even say this out loud, but it's been published. The FBI and other investigators are finding them now because they're bound by a few defining characteristics. Total devotion to dear leader Kim Jong Un, of course, a penchant for stealing, cryptocurrency and an obsession with Minions. Really Cuddly yellow agents of evil from Despicable Me. That's one of those few Hollywood movies that they'll show in North Korea. And I guess this society is obsessed.
Armstrong and Getty
With Minions keeping the world safe from gru.
Joe Getty
North Koreans love of the animated movie franchise has become a recurring, if slightly baffling joke among the security researchers who investigate them. Many of these fake workers use Minions and other Despicable Me characters in social media profiles, email addresses. They're. They're just. They're. They're omnipresent in these people's online presence. Some investigators initially thought their use of GRU GRE was a reference to Russia's famed gru, the Military Intelligence Agency. No, it was a tribute to the Minions Overlord Felonious Gru Sr. If you want to be formal. The Steve Carell voiced animated character who tries to steal the moon.
Armstrong and Getty
Very skinny legs on Gru.
Joe Getty
And final sentence. Allusions to Minions and other characters are so ubiquitous that investigators pursuing North Koreans view despicable references as a sign they might be on the right track.
Armstrong and Getty
They get so little pop culture that the little they got, they've just all grabbed onto it.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And they give a bunch of examples that had, like, grew in their. His screen name or. Or. Or other characters.
Armstrong and Getty
Those movies are fairly entertaining. I've watched them with my kids.
Joe Getty
I watch. I finally watched the first one and thought, wow, that's really good. But the really good cartoon movies are just really good. But I found that since my kids are grown, I don't know, seek them out. Fair.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Although, you know, after a couple of glasses of wine on a Saturday night, it sounds like a good relaxing time.
Armstrong and Getty
You're drunk on the couch watching Cars 3.
Joe Getty
I didn't say I'm drunk. A couple of glasses of wine. I'm a grown ass man. Huh? What are you, a little girl? Oh, I'm sorry. That. You know what? That was defensive and combative. Think I may have a problem. They're all pretty good, though, the despicable memes. Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Okay.
Armstrong and Getty
I don't think there's a weak one in the bunch. I don't know why some of them have one eye and some of them have two. That's never been explained.
Joe Getty
Osha. Safer workplaces.
Armstrong and Getty
I don't know how much time we got left, Michael.
Joe Getty
Must be about 30 seconds.
Armstrong and Getty
Okay, well, we'll just tap down 37.
Joe Getty
I just saw too little to do something significant. Too much to just sit here mute.
Armstrong and Getty
I just saw up on tv, perching is the new tick tock challenge. I guess there's some wrapper that perches. It's like. It's like squatting down on one leg and then crossing your other leg over the top. Pretty sure I can't do that. I'm going to try it as soon as the show's over. This. If I can perch anywhere.
Joe Getty
Well, the last tick tock trend we talked about was, like, kicking in people's doors in the night. Yeah, well, risking getting shot. So perch away, kids.
Armstrong and Getty
This is more like an athletic test to see if you're flexible enough or strong enough.
Joe Getty
No, no, you're not. I am not.
Armstrong and Getty
Okay, here we go.
Joe Getty
Final thought with Angie.
Lenovo Ad
Yeah.
Armstrong and Getty
Here's your host for final Thoughts, Joe.
Joe Getty
Getty as courses first hit his second he hit his life threatening heat dome.
Armstrong and Getty
Yes.
Joe Getty
Get a lot of airplane. Yeah. Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew showed up for work today. Michelangelo is our technical director. He's pushing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thought? Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out.
Armstrong and Getty
What Ozzy Osbourne says in this clip.
Joe Getty
I think it's find yourself a good plumber.
Armstrong and Getty
But let's listen.
Joe Getty
Funny enough, funnily enough, when I left.
Armstrong and Getty
School, I wanted to be a plumber.
Lenovo Ad
I think.
Joe Getty
Katie Green is off for the day. Jack, a final thought.
Armstrong and Getty
So if you didn't hear, we had this story the other day. A variety of athletic things you could do that would predict the likelihood that you're gonna die or live to old age. And one of them was to be able to sit on the floor and get up without using your hands. And like, your likelihood of death is cut by like 80% if you can do it. I'm gonna give that challenge to my kids today. I think I can do it, but it might be cheating. Might have to post that video.
Joe Getty
My final thought is from hour two of the show. As I recall, it's my favorite thing we talked about today and probably the most important, the idea that a tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance or it will say cease to be tolerant at all.
Armstrong and Getty
Of course. Seems obvious. Armstrong and Yeti wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Joe Getty
It's not obvious to a lot of people because the intolerant bully them. And most people are cowards. Don't be cowards. Friends, so many people to thank, so little time. Go to armstrong, getty.com for the hot links for the the swag. Pick up a T shirt or hat for your favorite fan.
Armstrong and Getty
We'll see tomorrow. God bless America.
Joe Getty
Get ready, pal.
Armstrong and Getty
You're gonna enter a problem.
Joe Getty
This is the United States of America.
Armstrong and Getty
God's sake.
Joe Getty
Glad, bad and kept care.
Navy Federal Credit Union Ad
Screw it, I'm leaving.
Joe Getty
Be sure to watch your language and less tolerant of all the bull. Do you understand? So let's go out with a bang here. Are you ready? It's gonna be pathetic. That's it.
Armstrong and Getty
What? What was that?
Joe Getty
I know that's no puff at all. Oh my God. Only show in America doing this, folks.
Armstrong and Getty
Thank you all very much.
Joe Getty

Hosts: Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty
Platform: iHeartPodcasts
The episode kicks off with a robust discussion on the intersection of immigration and political redistricting. Congresswoman Yvette Clark from New York is cited, emphasizing the strategic use of undocumented immigrants to influence electoral districts. Joe Getty highlights this by stating:
"When I hear colleagues talk about the doors of the inn being closed... I'm saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes." (03:40)
Jack Armstrong notes the broader implications of such strategies, aligning them with the controversial "Replacement Theory" often associated with figures like Tucker Carlson:
"Replacement theory... it's, it's on the same page." (04:33)
The conversation then shifts to local governance, focusing on Mayor Daniel Lurie of San Francisco. A recent poll reveals a 73% approval rating for Lurie, a stark contrast to previous administrations plagued by overspending and homelessness. Getty commends Lurie's policies:
"One of his first acts was to declare a fentanyl state of emergency... he spearheaded a massive cut to the San Francisco budget." (05:06)
In contrast, Jack Armstrong critiques Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, portraying him as a product of left-wing activism that failed to address fundamental issues:
"He was performative... the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party abandoned him." (07:09)
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to analyzing the economic reforms introduced by Javier Milei, Argentina’s president. Joe Getty provides an overview of the dire economic state Milei inherited:
"In 2023, Argentina's GDP was shrinking by 1.5% or more a year... annualized inflation exceeded 200%." (08:59)
However, Milei’s "shock therapy" approach has reportedly stabilized the economy:
"He's brought monthly inflation down from 13% to 2%. The economy is not shrinking anymore. It's growing at 7% a year." (12:18)
Jack Armstrong reflects on the transformative impact of free-market policies:
"The free market works so much better... World’s better than government control." (12:18)
The hosts acknowledge the success while also recognizing the challenges ahead, emphasizing Milei’s role in reversing long-standing economic mismanagement.
The duo shifts focus to the media landscape, spotlighting Barry Weiss and her venture, the Free Press. Joe Getty praises Weiss for striving towards unbiased journalism:
"I'm a big fan... there's a hunger out there for reasonable journalism." (13:35)
Jack Armstrong appreciates the Free Press’s commitment to honesty over political alignment:
"As long as I believe what you're telling me is true, we can come to different conclusions." (14:28)
They discuss the importance of diverse media voices in fostering an informed public, highlighting the Free Press as a beacon for balanced reporting.
A poignant segment delves into the sentencing of Brian Kohlberger, a former criminology PhD student responsible for a tragic mass shooting in Idaho. The ceremony is charged with emotion as survivors' families testify. A notable moment includes a mother's stark observation:
"You got A's in college, but you're gonna get big D's in prison." (22:44)
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty express sympathy towards the victims' families and critique the criminal justice system’s handling of such heinous crimes. They emphasize the personal anguish and societal implications of Kohlberger’s actions, underscoring the need for accountability and compassion within the legal framework.
Shifting to lighter topics, the hosts celebrate Venus Williams’ remarkable achievement of winning a WTA-sanctioned match at 45, making her the oldest player to do so. Jack Armstrong reminisces about Williams’ illustrious career:
"She won her first tournament at 16... looking at her journey from Compton to Wimbledon." (29:26)
Joe Getty admires her longevity and resilience, contrasting her disciplined training with the heavily coached young athletes he observes:
"There are some athletes that can compete against the good 21-year-olds when they're 40, but not much further than that." (30:44)
The discussion highlights Williams’ dedication and serves as an inspiration for maintaining athletic prowess beyond traditional peak years.
In a segment blending pop culture with cybersecurity, the hosts explore North Korea’s unconventional methods of generating income. Joe Getty reveals that thousands of North Koreans have been assuming American identities to secure remote jobs, often utilizing pop culture references like Minions in their online personas:
"Allusions to Minions and other characters are so ubiquitous that investigators pursuing North Koreans view these references as a sign they might be on the right track." (46:19)
This quirky tactic not only underscores North Korea’s resourcefulness but also poses unique challenges for cybersecurity efforts. Jack Armstrong comments on the cultural assimilation evident in these cyber behaviors.
As the episode concludes, the hosts reflect on the overarching theme of tolerance in society. Joe Getty articulates a fundamental principle:
"A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance or it will cease to be tolerant at all." (50:19)
Jack Armstrong echoes this sentiment, urging listeners to stand against bullying and intolerance, emphasizing the importance of courage in upholding societal values.
Joe Getty (03:40): "When I hear colleagues talk about the doors of the inn being closed... I'm saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes."
Joe Getty (08:59): "In 2023, Argentina's GDP was shrinking by 1.5% or more a year... annualized inflation exceeded 200%."
Jack Armstrong (12:18): "The free market works so much better... World’s better than government control."
Joe Getty (22:44): "You got A's in college, but you're gonna get big D's in prison."
Joe Getty (50:19): "A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance or it will cease to be tolerant at all."
In "Gonna Get the D's," Armstrong & Getty deliver a compelling mix of political analysis, economic insights, and cultural commentary. From evaluating urban leadership and international economic reforms to celebrating athletic excellence and scrutinizing cyber threats, the episode encapsulates a broad spectrum of contemporary issues. The hosts' balanced perspectives and inclusion of poignant quotes offer listeners a nuanced understanding of complex topics, making the episode both informative and engaging for those seeking comprehensive podcast content.
