Episode Overview

In this episode, Armstrong and Getty tackle key global headlines and cultural shifts, focusing intensely on escalating conflict in the Middle East (specifically U.S.-Iran confrontations and the Strait of Hormuz), the complexity of toppling authoritarian regimes, viral internet oddities, and the evolving standards for public commemorations in the U.S. With their signature wit and critical tone, they dissect not only hard news but the quirks of American culture, holidays, and historical memory.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Middle East Conflict: Iran, Israel, and the Strait of Hormuz

Timestamps: 03:59–15:21

• The heaviest night of bombing since the current Middle East war began, with the U.S. targeting Iranian missile sites and underground "missile cities" along the Strait of Hormuz.
• Discussion around whether assassinating key figures truly cripples organizations like Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (drawing analogies to the death of Bin Laden and its real-world impact):

  “Do you take out the guy and then just somebody else moves into the position or does the individual really, really matter?” — Jack (05:56)

• Reports of heavily armed checkpoints and the immense difficulty for Iranian citizens to rise up against the regime, including chilling accounts from former protesters:

  “More people get murdered by their own government than anybody else in history. Just a fact, always been true, always will be true.” — Jack (08:08)

• Sober assessment that the U.S. and Israel publicly encourage uprisings, while privately acknowledging they may lead to mass slaughter due to the regime’s brutality.
• Deep skepticism on the ability to “open up” the Strait of Hormuz unless Iran's regime is genuinely on board:

  “I lean toward believing there's no opening the Strait of Hormuz without Iran being on board with that. That we can't just open it and keep it open.” — Jack (10:45)

• Connection drawn to the Vietnam War: “You never defeated us once on the battlefield.” “This is true. It's also irrelevant.” Reflecting on what constitutes actual victory in war (11:26):

  “A war has to end with a better outcome than you had before for it to be a victory. Right?” — Jack (13:29)

• Concluding this thread with a realistic take that evil regimes are hard to replace unless people on the ground make a stand—usually at a terrible cost and with massive time investment.

2. The Expansion of ‘Magic’ American Holidays & Parental Pressure

Timestamps: 15:34–17:11

• A humorous yet pointed critique of how American holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day (with a “Cupid” delivering gifts), and potentially even Arbor Day are being turned into elaborate, Elf-on-the-Shelf–style events for children, increasing parental anxiety and pressure to perform holiday magic.
• Memorable riff:

  “We can't have a half dozen magical creatures coming in our homes every year. That's probably where all the anxiety comes from from kids.” — Jack (16:51) “Person needs to be jailed. Jailed before it catches on.” — Joe (16:44)

3. News of the Day: Pop Culture, Viral Internet Oddities, and March Madness

Timestamps: 20:47–24:02

• Pop culture and news round-up with producer Katie Green, including viral zoo animals (Punch the Monkey gets a girlfriend), California’s unseasonably warm winter, and the use of AI in shifting public opinion:

  “Is that a bad thing, Good thing or bad thing?” — Joe, questioning moral panic over AI-influenced opinions (23:25)

• Interactive Google Easter egg discussed:

  “I just did a Google. I googled Punch the Monkey. And yes, a whole bunch of Punch the Monkey hearts... Start falling down your screen. That's pretty funny...We are not a serious nation.” — Jack (23:42)

• Joking reflection on the need for comic relief amid serious world crises.

4. Viral Phenomena: Meteor Sightings Across the U.S.

Timestamps: 27:50–29:46

• Serious news lightened with a detailed, animated discussion of a meteor streaking across several states, their musings about ancient people, new religions, doomsday scenarios, and general reactions to extraordinary celestial events:

  “If I'd have seen it briefly, I'd have thought, is this like the one that took out the dinosaurs? You don't know.” — Jack (29:27) “Ancient people would have formed up a new religion probably.” — Joe (29:24)

5. The Cancellation of Cesar Chavez: Hero-Legacy, Public Memory, and Cancel Culture

Timestamps: 29:56–42:13

• The segment explores breaking news that multiple California events celebrating Cesar Chavez have been canceled due to (as-yet-undefined) allegations of sexual abuse.
• The hosts dig into the political and historical reasons Chavez was lionized (noting his role in founding United Farm Workers, his unexpected opposition to illegal immigration), and the pattern of selectively enforced ‘cancellation:’

  “Wokeness just goes in one direction. Generally speaking, the sins of our allies are forgiven. The sins of our opponents are prosecuted to the hilt.” — Joe (31:14)

• Jack and Joe critique the “murky” nature of the current allegations, expressing frustration about the lack of concrete info:

  “You can't say chilling allegations and not mention what they are.” — Jack (37:14) “Chilling and murky don't go together. They're either chilling or they're murky.” — Joe (37:20)

• They use the opportunity to launch into a philosophical discussion: At what point should personal transgressions erase a person’s public legacy?

  “You're not going to have anybody who can be held up as having done anything good throughout history if you're going to treat it this way.” — Jack (34:31) “What if the person who cured cancer also was a rapist and murderer? No Medal of Honor, no centers named after him?” — Joe & Jack (41:23–41:52)

6. Freedom, Patriotism, and The Value of War

Timestamps: 45:38–46:17

• A favorite quote (from John Stuart Mill) is introduced, setting a weighty philosophical frame:

  “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the U.S. losing to Venezuela in baseball:
  “A handful ain't the same as basically a Major League Baseball all star team. A one game final in baseball is just silly.” — Jack (04:43)
• On authoritarian brutality:
  “More people get murdered by their own government than anybody else in history. Just a fact, always been true, always will be true.” — Jack (08:08)
• On fake viral stats:
  “Studies show that 100% of everybody in the world wants to curl up indoors and do nothing because it’s so darn cold out there.” — Ad parody, mocked by the hosts (00:33)
• On cancel culture and moral purity:
  “You realize you're not going to have anybody who can be held up as having done anything good throughout history if you’re going to treat it this way.” — Jack (34:31)
• On American silliness amid crisis:
  “We are not a serious nation. We're at war for the love of the monkey.” — Joe (23:53)

Overall Tone & Style

Jack and Joe display a blend of sharp skepticism, dark humor, and exasperated honesty. Their manner is informal and conversational, both ridiculing and dissecting cultural and political phenomena, with a careful skepticism toward mainstream media narratives and "wokeness" trends. They frequently return to philosophical questions about societal values, the nature of history, and the dangers of extremism—on either side of politics.

Summary for New Listeners

This episode is a microcosm of Armstrong & Getty’s signature approach: a mix of incisive news analysis, cultural lampooning, and reflective moral questioning. Listeners get up-to-date perspective on geopolitics, national identity, viral nonsense, and our collective obsession with both lionizing and tearing down public figures. The show leaves listeners with plenty to ponder—about history, human nature, and the challenge of finding meaning (and humor) amid chaos.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and get it. And now here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Live from Studio C Senior, a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Yeti Communications compound. And today we're toiling under the title

[Joe Getty]

of the show Maduro Revenge or this is my favorite New Iran leader fills Ayatollah's shoes, then gets blown out of them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Heaviest night of bombing last night since the war began.

[Joe Getty]

Great Scott.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's something. That is something. That first headline the game hasn't already happened. Did I miss it? Did the United States play Venezuela?

[Joe Getty]

I'm afraid so.

[Jack Armstrong]

And how did it turn out?

[Joe Getty]

Poorly, if you're voting. Rooting for the USA. 3 to 2 win by the Venezuelan.

[Jack Armstrong]

We lost to Venezuela.

[Joe Getty]

Seizing or wow, how many major leaguers

[Jack Armstrong]

do they have on their team?

[Joe Getty]

Pretty good handful. A lot of superstars handful.

[Jack Armstrong]

A handful ain't the same as basically a Major League Baseball all star team.

[Joe Getty]

A one game final in baseball is just silly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sorry. But it's exciting though. One, one, one run game. That had to be something to watch. Wish I had known it was on.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and the Venezuelan people who, let's face it, they could use something to cheer about. True, they've been oppressed by communists and exploited and, and, and you know, we, we took out the, the first evil guy and his hench woman is in charge. So they're a little down in the mouth right now. So I Guess all over the world because millions and millions of people have fled socialism in Venezuela. Anyway, Owen too. So there are giant parties all over Central America and Europe where Venezuelans have gone to hide from communism.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, when you put it like that, I'm kind of happy for him.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, what the heck.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Our gazillionaires will be okay.

[Joe Getty]

Full credit to my good friend Gordy, the American Canadian who said, I thought Trump would wheel Maduro out in a cage for the seventh inning stretch. Could you imagine? Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

So, yeah, the.

[Joe Getty]

In a cage.

[Jack Armstrong]

The heaviest night of bombing since the war began. Israel took out three more various leaders of various kinds there in Iran. And there's a heck of an article in the Wall Street Journal today about how they're going about chasing down these individuals. So Israel specifically must think it really matters to take out these individuals because that's always the argument. Right. Going back to Osama bin Laden. Really? Do you take out the guy and then just somebody else moves into the position or does the individual really, really matter? And Israel must think it matters because they're putting a lot of effort into chasing these people down in tents on the outskirts of town or hiding in a sports stadium a variety of different situations.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. The intelligence is always dazzling. The idea is so crippled their command structures that they can't command anymore. You know, you get down low enough on the, the management scale and you're gonna find either somebody who just can't run it effectively or somebody who's like, hey, I want to make a deal before I get blown out of his shoes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is any of that going to matter to the Strait of Hormuz situation? I suppose only if there were a full on revolution in the streets, which apparently according to reports, Trump White House is still rooting for that. That's like the fix there. There's a revolution in the streets. The, the regime goes and then, then the Strait of Hormuz opens back up with whoever takes over.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But there was an article yesterday, I forget where it came from, that Israel is, Israel is along with the United States encouraging people to rise up and take back their country. But behind the scenes, and this is some pretty devastating reporting, I hope it's true. And not just politics, but the reporting was that inside the Israeli cabinet they're saying they're going to get slaughtered if they do that. So encouraging them to rise up while thinking they're going to get slaughtered.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. We have a report about the heavily armed checkpoints that the regime has installed all over the cities. Anybody acts the least Bit uppity. They're going to get mowed down.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

That's crazy.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just saw News Nation. Some former protester and he was in a, a dark room with a hood on and his voice being changed. That's how concerned he is about being found out by the, you know, their own government. More people get murdered by their own government than anybody else in history. Just, just a fact, always been true, always will be true. But this guy said, yeah, if you just, if you even attempt to rise up, you're going to get shot in the head. I mean, there's just no way to get anything going. That was on News Nation this morning.

[Joe Getty]

We received an account from somebody who knows a couple of Iranian Americans and they're afraid to speak plainly in the U.S. wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, the, you know, whoever's in charge, Revolutionary Guard, the mullets, whoever's left in charge of this thing, they realize it's the whole ball game. That's why the Trump White House is, you know, hoping for a rising up, because that's the whole ball game. They either can keep those people scared or shot and hang on to power and we finally get tired of it and leave or it's over for them. Over as in they're dead.

[Joe Getty]

Well, either way, they're dead.

[Jack Armstrong]

So the, I was reading some reporting here that apparently the Pentagon is telling Trump that they can get the Strait of Hormuz opened up. I hope that's true. And Trump is somewhat flustered as to why it's taking so long to get it open up. That's a lot of what we were hitting last night with some of our 5000 pound bunker buster bombs, the ones that go way underground and taken out underground missile launchers aimed at the Strait

[Joe Getty]

of Hormuz and their missile cities, they call them those vast underground storage complexes.

[Jack Armstrong]

But I'm hoping we talk to Mike Lyons again today because if I remember right from when we talked to him last time, he seemed to think that that's very difficult to do. I mean, you can take out those big missile launchers, but just any individual in a boat with a bomb is enough of a threat to keep an oil tanker worth a billion dollars from wanting to risk going through there.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I've read the descriptions of what it would take to A, suppress the fire on the ships and B, protect them and, and insure them. I guess that would be C, and it's doable, but it sounds like a hell of a lot, just not sustainable over, you know, anything more than the short term. So we're back to you've got to so decimate them that either there's an uprising or they cry uncle.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't actually know anything about this, only what I read. But I lean toward believing the. There's no opening the Strait of Hormuz without Iran being on board with that. That we can't just open it and keep it open.

[Joe Getty]

That's the hard part. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Without Iran wanting to playing along with it. If they're still trying to make it difficult, they can make it difficult. Because how difficult would you have to make it to make Ship commanders, insurance companies, whoever's calling the shots think you know what, we're not, we're not going to do this. We're not going to. The chance of something happening is low, but it's still too high to take our billion dollar ship through there.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, it's, it's, it's a tough nut to crack.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's a for sure. It is something. I heard a devastating quote. It was really good. I hate to quote Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe today, but he was reading a quote from goes back to the Vietnam War. So when the Vietnam War ended and one of our commanders said to a Vietnamese commander, you know, you never defeated us once on the battlefield. And the Vietnamese commander said, this is true. It's also irrelevant. That is a fact of war.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. I read a terrific comparison between the current situation unfolding in Iran and the Hamas deal in Gaza. How Israel has completely decimated their large scale battle ability. Hamas' and the minute they stopped fighting, Hamas came out of their holes, re established control over Gaza and they were on the place now under heat from Israel and in a somewhat limited way, but they are in charge in a way that, you know, the mullahs will almost certainly. I mean if you're a betting man, number one, the Las Vegas odds are out for March Madness. But if you are a betting person, you gotta bet on the survival of the regime. It's by far the most likely outcome, which is really discouraging. But evil regimes willing to slaughter their own people are tough to knock out.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so far in history it's never been done without people on the ground. So that's your only option. And then even then, as we saw in Iraq, Afghanistan or Assad even taking forever to control his own country. It takes a long time even with lots of boots on the ground. Well, look at Assad trying to keep his own country under control. He had to kill so many hundreds of thousands of people. Yeah. And it went on for years and years and years.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. And you got your tribal stuff in the Middle east too. If you're aligned with that tribe that's in, in charge, it doesn't matter how evil they are, you're in that tribe, which is tough for Americans to relate to.

[Jack Armstrong]

Back to that quote of no, you never did defeat us in any battle and it's irrelevant. So a war has to end with a better outcome than you had before for it to be a victory. Right, That's, I mean, that's it. You just don't have to be better now than they were before for the

[Joe Getty]

sake of the argument. Yeah, you got to balance costs and benefits, but sure. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, in this case, the cost was they're going to get a nuclear weapon, so that's a pretty high cost. I guess so it'd be pretty hard to end up in a worse situation than that. I don't know. This is, this is quite the situation.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Look forward to talking to Mike Lyons later and getting some like, you know, expert opinion on some of this.

[Joe Getty]

We need desperately for a commander of significance to come out of Iran and say, I'm for change, I'm for a new future, a new system and with enough men under arms that they can take and hold the ground according to have it go from there.

[Jack Armstrong]

According to some reporting, and it sounds really believable to me, the Trump White House and, and Netanyahu are surprised that that didn't happen already after their incredibly hard hit on the leadership.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, like what?

[Jack Armstrong]

There's nobody taking over. That's the way it's supposed to work. Some military commander skin is supposed to say, I'm in charge, we'll negotiate and take over the country. That's what always happens. Right? Right.

[Joe Getty]

Final note for me, and back to the Strait of Hormuz. I heard one commentator indignantly saying, it's been 10 days. When is this going to happen? Wow. I was thinking 10.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, that's ridiculous.

[Joe Getty]

This is a tick tock world, man.

[Jack Armstrong]

Boy, I'd say so.

[Joe Getty]

time ever in my life, I'm filling out a March Madness bracket. Having not watched a single second of college basketball. It'll probably be the best I've ever done in my bracket compared to when I used to watch lots and lots of games and always did poorly.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I do not sanction gambling in any way. So let's move ahead quickly to figure out who's reporting what. It's lead story with Katie green.

[Katie Green]

All right, CNN, the US drops 5,000 pound guided bombs on Iranian missile sites along the Straits of Hormuz. And ABC Gabbard backs Trump's Iran threat determination after Kent resignation.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know the reason they have those missile sites, that would be a lot of work and cost a lot of money to put there on the streets of Hormuz because that's been Iran's trump card for decades and we knew it. So any claim that the Pentagon did not think about that is nuts.

[Joe Getty]

It's ridiculous. Maybe we were surprised that they did it in the way they did it, but that's it.

[Katie Green]

Breitbart.com Joe Kent previously argued that Iran was a threat to the United States and pushed for wiping out nuclear missile capabilities.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just saw an article called the man who is Wrong about Everything listing everything that he's ever believed in, including J6 prisoners and all kinds of different things. He's just, he's quite a character.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Complete crackpot.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of course, the thing there is, hey, Trump, don't put complete crackpots in charge of things.

[Katie Green]

Daily Mail. Punch the Monkey has a girlfriend.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Katie Green]

Viral zoo animals spotted smooching. Sweet playmate Momo Chan.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Katie Green]

Also, fun fact, if you Google Punch the Monkey, a bunch of pictures of Punch the Monkey will drop down your computer screen in a new Google feature. That just scared the hell out of me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really? Okay, I'll do that.

[Ad Voice 2]

Mercer, Pennsylvania truck driver James Eaker had thoughts.

[Jack Armstrong]

What the was that?

[Ad Voice 2]

From Maryland to Michigan, people and cameras saw the same thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

A seven ton meteoroid hurtling 45,000 miles per hour. They also heard something.

[Joe Getty]

Something went boom earlier, shook us over here.

[Ad Voice 2]

It was a shock wave as atmospheric pressure exploded the meteoroid over Medina County, Ohio.

[Joe Getty]

Atmospheric pressure exploded it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wish I would have seen that. So like half the country saw a meteor yesterday. Well, if you were looking that direction, could have seen a mete traveling 45,000 miles an hour. And it got an awful lot of news attention because the evening news, even when you're at war, is just what are the coolest YouTube videos of the day?

[Joe Getty]

And weather. That's correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

And weather.

[Joe Getty]

I find myself wondering what caused the curblouie. I thought it was like heat. Can we have 27?

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael, what you're really seeing is not

[Joe Getty]

an explosion that's, you know, up in the clouds. It's miles higher than that. We're talking 10 miles high or more. So way above where airplanes fly right at the top of the atmosphere so it's visible from a very long distance. The sonic boom will just keep going until it loses energy. So this is something that hit the atmosphere going, you know, 50 times the speed of sound. Broke up, caused that fireball and that boom when it broke up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wish I'd have seen it.

[Joe Getty]

Ancient people would have formed up a new religion probably.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although if I'd have seen it briefly, I'd have thought, is this like the one that took out the dinosaurs? You don't know.

[Joe Getty]

And. Or did the mullahs get one through?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, you're right.

[Joe Getty]

Defenses. I'm on a war footing.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know about you, my first thought might not have been meteor. It might have been thought, okay, hypersonic missile from Russia or North Korea or whoever's got one.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. A lot of important, relevant, up to the minute updates on the Iran thing, but something I did not have.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, we will talk to my clients to kick off hour two.

[Joe Getty]

Can't wait. Yeah, I love talking to Mike, but completely different topic. Did not have this on my bingo card. The cancellation of Cesar Chavez has begun. Apparently the New York Times is working on a carefully researched, you know, giant investigation into his skullduggeries and sins.

[Jack Armstrong]

Don't we have a Cesar Chavez day in California?

[Joe Getty]

Yes, indeed. In fact, state universities scrubbed Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday. F them, say the University of California. We have Cesar Chavez day and first. Well, I'm not facts. Then we'll get to the analysis.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, I'm not going to take glee in this. I'm not for canceling people based on their whatever was in his past. If you think they accomplished enough to originally be noteworthy, which is kind of

[Joe Getty]

the part I want to get to, but a wave of Cesar Chavez events have been canceled at the last minute after profoundly shocking claims. Claims of sexual abuse came to light and insiders warn it could just be the tip of the iceberg.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kind of curious as to why in 2026 this is coming out. We've been at this wokeness for quite some time, but I want to hear what the particular violations of our current moral codes are.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Remember though, that wokeness just goes in one direction. Generally speaking, the sins of our allies are forgiven. The sins of our opponents are prosecuted to the hilt.

[Jack Armstrong]

C. Jesse Jackson.

[Joe Getty]

Indeed. Yeah, the great blackmailer. So the late civil rights icon, one of the most celebrated labor leaders in US history has been accused of, quote, abusing young women or minors. The union he co founded revealed on Tuesday the United Farm Workers and Cesar Chavez foundation said they were shelving marches in the Golden State honoring him after they were made aware of the disturbing allegations. And then the New York Post gets into the fact that Chavez has been lauded by the left across America for decades, with Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden celebrating him with the latter having a bust of him in the Oval Office during his presidency.

[Jack Armstrong]

Who. Biden had a Caesar Chavez bust in his office?

[Joe Getty]

Yes. Yes, he did.

[Jack Armstrong]

And what did Cesar Chavez do that he is allotted for?

[Joe Getty]

Well, he formed the United Farm Workers of America with other folks and tried to improve the. Lots of migrant workers, you know, their rights, their pay, their safety, et cetera, et cetera. And I get why in certain circles he would be admired, but his elevation, it strikes me. It's similar to our conversation yesterday about why St. Patrick's Day and Columbus Day exist. Their moves to show this president, this mayor, cherishes Irish Americans. I'm declaring St. Patrick's Day to be a holiday and you get the Irish vote. Well, the, the making of Cesar Chavez into some sort of saint was just an overt move to say to the newly relevant and numerous Hispanic voters, look how seriously I take your heroes. His fine guy did good work helping out the farm laborers. Not gonna do that's rough work. But elevate him into some sort of. He was anti illegal immigration, for one thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what I.

[Joe Getty]

Which they never bring up.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wonder if that came to light enough that people were like, yeah, this is becoming more of a burden than a help. Cesar Chavez with all his quotes about illegal immigration. So, yeah, let's turn on him.

[Joe Getty]

He pointed out, having thought for six seconds about economics. Oh, if people keep flooding across the border diluting our labor pool, there's no way we can. We can get higher wages. We have no power, obvs. Anyway, Jack Chavez was even held by

[Jack Armstrong]

the band Rage against the Machine, which

[Joe Getty]

used his image in the video for Renegades of Funk.

[Jack Armstrong]

So do we have specifics on what he supposedly did or just generalities about.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, sexual abuse of young women and girls. That's. That's the only, like, facts according or allegations. That's as specific as it gets.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well above 18 or below 18. Are you, are you taking this as below 18?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah,

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know either.

[Joe Getty]

Sexual pig, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, so, all right, so that's our new standard. You know, you really, you realize you're not going to have anybody who can be held up as having done anything good throughout history if you're going to.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Live. If we're going to treat it this way.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I don't. I can't analyze the allegations because I don't know what they are, whether they're valid or not. So go ahead.

[Jack Armstrong]

I would think if there was something really horrible, it would be in, like, in the first two sentences, wouldn't you?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I guess. Sure. Yeah. It's. It's funny because this is like a comment on the report that's originally cooking up and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, as we all know. But as we all know, it doesn't take much. It just takes some whispers about, he was really not cool to women. Oh, really? And then you just kind of go from there and it builds momentum, and then all of a sudden your name's on not on the school anymore, and you move on to the progressives and you move on to the next person.

[Joe Getty]

Right. No, you've got to be able to fit that person into the current party line, which is always changing, because that's how you test people's loyalty, by constant reinventing what's true. Before the. Even before the new sexual abuse came to light, sexual abuse claims came to light, his legacy had become complicated as scholars and others revealed the iconic leaders, failures and contradictions, increasingly authoritarian leadership style, purges of internal dissenters.

[Bethany Frankel]

Oh, wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you start having sentences like, he fired people who didn't agree with him.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Yelled at co workers.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I. I'm no big giant. I don't have a bust of Cesar Chavez in the studio or at home or anything like that. But just see, people either accomplished things that are monumental and historic or they didn't. And the things in their personal life that apply to lots and lots of people can't be used to keep their names off of schools, money, street signs, celebrations, parades, whatever. Or we're gonna have nobody to hold up as. Look, you can accomplish a lot as a human. Here's some examples.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. Yeah, agreed. Yeah. And if it's pure presentism, that's especially sickening. So it's funny. Even the New York Post, in a different article, says the man ufw, the United Farm Workers and progressive pantheon, spent decades treating as the brown Martin Luther King Jr. Faces chilling and murky allegations of sexual misconduct with women, possibly involving minor girls as well.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like you can't.

[Joe Getty]

Murky is right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like you can't say chilling allegations and not mention what they are. Well, yeah, no.

[Joe Getty]

Chilling and murky don't go together. They're either chilling or they're murky.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right. Because murky things aren't chilling because you don't really know what's going on.

[Joe Getty]

Joe Getty has been accused of some truly chilling offenses, including bad stuff and misdeeds. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't think there's a lot of there there or like I said it would be in the second sentence of the story.

[Joe Getty]

So why is this happening? Who's the engine behind this?

[Jack Armstrong]

For decades, Juanita Juarez has been telling the story of how she. Blah, blah, blah. You don't have anything like that. Well, then it's murky.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. This is so vague. This is so odd. Yet all over Cal Unicornia, which is a one party cult. There's something canceling events.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's something there. There is something interesting here. Why did the woke crowd turn on this guy, right? And do their thing where they just get all worked up about somebody and he's done bad things and the things are horrible. I mean unspeakably murky things. And you're right. And they are awful and murky. We gotta get his name off the middle school, which you're gonna have to do. I think there's one in my town.

[Joe Getty]

In every damn town in California.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Here's a couple more sentences for you. Insiders hinted the explosive allegations, the details of which have yet to be released have been a long time coming.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't put those things together either.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, it's murky and explosive, Jack.

[Jack Armstrong]

You can't say they're explos and we don't know what they are.

[Joe Getty]

Enos Flores. I wonder what they called old Enos on the school yard. A longtime member. A longtime member of the labor movement told the San Antonio Express News, quote, When I saw that article, the first thing that flashed in my head was to jig is up. What the Cesar Chavez foundation said it was deeply shocked and saddened by the allegations which are expected to be fully published in the coming weeks.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Sexual inappropriate sexual behavior with women and minors during his time as the president of the ufw. That's what the foundation says. And minors.

[Jack Armstrong]

And are we just finding this out? Did somebody. Did something come out that had never been known before? There's something up here.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

What's.

[Joe Getty]

What is the engine behind this? That may be a really interesting story. It may be just, you know, a couple of his victims have come forward in their old age and said, look, and the facts are there. It might be as simple as that, but it might not.

[Jack Armstrong]

That'd be an interesting conversation to have with like historians and all kinds of really smart people. Pick someone. I don't. I don't want to throw out a name because I'm going to say bad things, but pick someone who is lauded for tremendous contributions to the world, whether it's science, politics, military, whatever, and then come up with something really horrible in their personal life that they did. Do they get erased from history for that?

[Joe Getty]

Well, especially if you let me couch the allegation in slightly creative terms. I could assassinate anybody's character. Anybody could.

[Jack Armstrong]

But you either accomplished, you know, the scientific thing, the military thing, the political thing, whatever. You either accomplished that or you didn't. And so does that get erased if you also. And I don't even want to throw out an example, but we can all think of some really bad examples. Does that disappear from the history books or street signs or celebrations because of that?

[Joe Getty]

This is one of those moments when I wish we weren't slaves to the clock of radio and just a pure podcast. Because we could talk forever about this. We need to take a break. But because I find myself doing thought experiments like, all right, what if somebody invented. I don't know, what's cure for cancer considered? Yeah, the cure for cancer. And I hate saying horrifying things.

[Ad Voice 2]

I know, I know.

[Joe Getty]

I'm a gentle soul, believe it or not. But he also tortured and murdered 15 women.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a pretty good extreme example. You're gonna not have the Bill Paulson Cancer Center. The guy.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God, there's Bill Paulson listening. He just went. Wait, what? He spit his coffee all over his computer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sorry, William.

[Joe Getty]

Right, Exactly. Cured cancer. He also was a rapist and murderer.

[Jack Armstrong]

No medal of honor, no cancer center named after him, no day, no nothing. Because his. I don't know. That's an interesting question. I don't actually.

[Joe Getty]

Extreme possibility. But then. Okay, so. So the obvious question is, as you slide your marker across that scale back and forth where you know, at what point do you not get a building named after it?

[Joe Getty]

Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. This is one of my all time favorites by one of my intellectual heroes, John Stuart Mill. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Probably wrote that in the 1700s.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah. I couldn't give you a date, but yeah. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

[Jack Armstrong]

Huh.

Right?

[Joe Getty]

John Stuart Mill did his most of

[Jack Armstrong]

his writing in the mid-1800s. I was off by a century, which makes me a dummy.

[Joe Getty]

It does not. JT in Livermore on a couple of topics, including I'm not shocked at all by the poll showing the US Is way underwater about its own fellow citizens. We're the only country on earth that the majority of us think the rest of us are bastards essentially. First, as your show has pointed out for years now, we're the only superpower in history to be teaching our own citizens to hate us as our country, our kids especially. Which is it's horrifying. We've been defeated by the Marxists in our children's schoolrooms. Secondly, as you often point out about polls, I think the numbers include a fair amount of Dem on Dem accusations. Face it, Dems are taking the wrong side of a lot of 8020 issues. Border security training, gender surgery on minors, men and women's sports, voter id, support for anti Semitism. So many of the Dems must see their fellow Dems as being way too far to the left.
