Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

“Populism is progressivism in disguise. The problem with populism goes beyond policy blunders. It would replace our faith in limited government and traditional values with an agenda stitched together by opinion polls, personal grievances and performative outrage. Populists follow urges, not principles.” — Mike Pence, quoted by Joe Getty [38:54]

“That was a hundred percent from the heart... That was a glimpse at me in my... I'll call it my office. Doesn't look much like an office at home. And when I'm trying to do anything and websites don't work. I lose my freaking mind.” — Jack Armstrong on the frustrations of digital paperwork [34:29]

"I was motivated... thinking, all right, it’s June, for God's sake, let’s get this done. And I actually got stuff done. Wow. Accident of the calendar.” — Joe Getty on the accidental productivity boost of a new month [04:08]

“It’s like uprooting yourself. It's like a divorce or to change religion or something like that. It goes down to your soul. Politics is not supposed to be that.” — Joe Getty, on identity and political tribalism [30:42]

“One old broad who, if she ever had a prime, it's far behind her interviewing another old broad who's a liar, delusional, or more likely both.” — Joe Getty, on the CBS Jill Biden interview [11:49]

“The Generation that put us $38 trillion in debt very unhappy with the way young people spend money.” — Babylon Bee headline, shared by Jack [09:31]

• Blunt irreverence (“old broad”, "nut job", "bootlicking insider")
• Humor layered over genuine concern and frustration, especially with bureaucracy and modern tech
• Conversational camaraderie: relatable venting, “from the heart” confessions, and constant ribbing

Summary for New Listeners

In this episode, Armstrong & Getty use the turn of the month as a jumping-off point for widely ranging, engaging discussions about economic pressures, media failings, California's zany political landscape, and the ever-frustrating march of “progress” in paperwork and bureaucracy. The show strikes a distinctive balance—irreverent but deeply informed, frequently funny but underpinned by palpable concern for both country and fellow citizens. From lampooning pop culture and politics to taking on the serious business of financial hardship and world affairs, their takes provide both insight and catharsis.

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Bare Knuckle Fighting Promotion Announcer]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

So, right before we go on, there was a promo that mentioned the Epstein Files. Right. Before we go on, there is a promo that mentioned the Epstein Files. Was that designed to demoralize me for the entire week or was. Was avoiding that, Michael, you just. You trying to put me on my heels to begin with?

[Joe Getty]

No, not at all. So the implication being that if one were to remain tuned into whatever station air, then one would hear talk of the Epstein files. That very promise, that tantalizing promise would keep them tuned in.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, not maybe.

[Joe Getty]

Whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe whatever comes after us. Wherever you are. Live from Studio C, senor. A dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Kicking off a brand new week, a brand new month possible. This will be the greatest month of your life. Yes, you meet Mr. Right. If you win the lottery.

[Joe Getty]

Right? That one. Yes, that one.

[Parent Narrator]

Or.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or it could go the other way. Oh, not feeling so good. You go to the doctor.

[Joe Getty]

Ebola. Oh, no. That would explain all the bleeding.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, today we're toiling under the title of the show what is the Wounded

[Joe Getty]

Bear Caucus or Happy June, everyone. Which sounds lame and silly, but I myself was motivated a couple of times in recent hours. Yesterday and today, thinking, all right, it's June, for God's sake, let's get this done. And I actually got stuff done. Wow. Accident of the calendar. They could announce the calendar changes and three days from now it'd be June 1st.

[Jack Armstrong]

It doesn't matter.

[Joe Getty]

Like, for some reason humans do that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like, you had a list of things you were supposed to do this year?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, no, just stuff I've been putting off.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. This is a mess. I've been saying for weeks and weeks and weeks and thought, all right, it's June. Do you know what it's time to get?

[Jack Armstrong]

If you can put whatever that was in a bottle and give it to me, I'd like it. Because I got. I got such a list of things to do Just. Just. Just towering over me. It just. It's so oppressive.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm afraid it only comes around about as often as the Olympics for me, that. That urge. But, yeah, strike when that iron's hot.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like, I got so much paperwork for both kids for enrolling for school next year that I just can't make myself do because it's just so much of it is. First of all, you got all this information from last year. Why do we have to do all this again? So I have that problem where I fight things as opposed to just do them because it's not like I can change world.

[Joe Getty]

Like, why.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why do we have to go through this every single time?

[Joe Getty]

How about you just ask me if all that information I give you last year is still correct like they do at the doctor's office?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. No kidding. Well, yeah, sometimes. But you know, it'd be interesting. I've thought about this before with whether my son going on a boy scout trip because I got tons of paperwork there. Once again, we filled out these medical forms like 50 times. Why do I have to fill it out again? But I'd like to go back in time. This would be a waste of a time machine. I mean, you get a time machine. This would be a dumb thing to do with it. But I'd like to. How much paperwork. How much paperwork was there for my mom to enroll me in high school? I'm guessing little. Maybe nothing. It's quite possible nothing other than name, address, phone number. I might have just shown up.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Wow. Who are you? All right, jot that down. All right. Let's start learning. Well, right. I remember permission slips. They're like half sheet of paper was the date, your name, your parents name, and a signature and that was it. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And those. I feel like, yeah, we're few and far between. But now it's. Oh my God.

[Joe Getty]

The.

[Jack Armstrong]

The. Well, every parent knows it. Just every. It's like you're applying for a passport or something like that. Any who. Speaking of, it's a new month. Maybe this is as good a place to start as any, just for the. The mood of the country. In the first quarter of this year, the percentage of credit card balances that were at least 90 days delinquent rose to over 13%. That's the highest level in 15 years. The most since the 2008 financial crisis.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. And those were some unsettled days.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those were some real. That was the biggest. One of the biggest. Financial crisis is probably the second biggest in our nation's history. And it's that bad for people that are 90 days delinquent on their credit cards. The Wall Street Journal headline was Americans are falling behind on their 1.25 trillion dollar credit card.

[Joe Getty]

Saw that. Car loans are in pretty bad shape too. I don't, I don't remember if they got into that in that same article, but you know, there's a lot of Financial squeezings going on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. What though? Those, those chickens will come home to roost at some point. Right? Consumer spending has kept up pretty well, but at some point when your credit cards maxed out, I suppose people will stop after. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Which brings us back to the whole concept of a K shaped economy where a lot of people are cutting back a lot, but the upper crust, 20 or whatever, spending like, like mad. It's hard to know how true that is, but there's got to be some element of truth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I, yeah, I don't know. I just, I use my own eyeballs when, when, when there are no cars in line at the Starbucks, when the airports aren't full, when restaurants aren't full, then I will think, yeah, things have changed. But I don't know, maybe that's the credit card thing. Anywho, I feel like there's a lot of that stuff could come to a head this summer. The financial stuff where people drastically change their lives. I was having a conversation with yesterday, somebody who certainly middle class at worst, talking about things are so expensive, every single thing I buy. I thought price. This is somebody who doesn't really follow politics. Good for them. Probably much happier than anybody else. I thought things were supposed to go, go down when Trump became president. It seems like they've gone up. Well, it's because statistically they have gone up. Inflation's up the most in, in a while also in three years. But so. Yeah, that's, that's not your imagination either.

[Joe Getty]

If your grocery bill.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know what I ordered the other day, groceries or whatever. I was doordashing some groceries on in a, in a panic. It was like a hundred and five

[Joe Getty]

bucks for like four things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like how is this even possible?

[Joe Getty]

Sure. Talking to a couple just last night, fairly comfortable financially, went out for a pizza and two soft drinks. Little tip for the waitress and they're over 50 bucks.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. And then.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, inflation is a tax and the theft. Fight it, fight it, fight it. How, Joe? I'll explain later. Stay with us.

[Jack Armstrong]

If, if you didn't hear this, we really like this Babylon B headline from last week. This is on the story that young people, it's mostly young people that eat out in doordash, which is the most expensive way to eat and young people are the poorest. But the Babylon bead joke was the Generation that put us $38 trillion in debt very unhappy with the way young people spend money.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, fair, fair criticism.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pretty good.

[Joe Getty]

It's pretty good.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, we can check in on A couple of different wars for you we obviously need to talk about. The full Joe Biden interview came out yesterday, which was just a nothing burger of nothing burgers, which it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be. A nothing burger is one of the most disturbing slash interesting things that's happened in our nation's history in terms of the White House. But the interviewer turned it into a nothing burger by not following up on any of the important things.

[Joe Getty]

More on that in moments. Hey, Michael, do we have a bear sound? Do we. How hard will that be to come up with? Grizzly, white, brown, Any bear is fine. Polar, white, polar, you mean what? Yes or no?

[Jack Armstrong]

Mike?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I got it. This is the closest I can get to right now. Plus, we need to talk about the wounded bear caucus.

[Jack Armstrong]

What do you mean? That's clearly a lion.

[Joe Getty]

That is clearly a lion. You are like China doesn't pass it off, you know? Fair enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, let's start the show officially because this will lead us into the conversation. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, June 1. The rent is due. The rent is too damn high. It really, really is. And so is everything else, including gas and Diesel. The year 2026, Wormstrong and Getting. We approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, let's leap into action then for the weeks, the months, the year, whatever, officially, according to FCC rules and regs. Here we go at Mark.

[Jack Armstrong]

And we left the stage area.

[Parent Narrator]

And what people don't know, he had two events after that and he was fine. I mean, he was fine. It was inexplicable.

[Heather Myers]

But what if that had happened during

[Jack Armstrong]

a meeting with foreign leaders or something like that?

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

I don't know how to answer that.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. I would like to characterize that entire debacle. CBS Sunday MORNING. Rita Braver interviewing Dr. Jill Biden as one old broad who, if she ever had a prime, it's far behind her interviewing another old broad who's a liar, delusional, or more likely both. Oof.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I took some notes. This was during, like, the first half of the interview that aired on CBS. That's Dr. Jill Biden. I heard some podcasters going through her whole doctor, what that means she doesn't even have a normal PhD, which, you know, that's a, that's a fudgy line for a lot of people, whether you need to call that sort of person a doctor. Not you got a PhD in ancient history. Do I need to call you Dr. Any. Her doctor isn't even as good as that but anywho. Aside from that. So I took some notes during the first half of the interview when she first. The, the interviewer first asked Dr. Joe Biden. And, and it took a long time to get to this. So you're sitting down with the person that has the greatest insight into one of the biggest debacles in US Presidential history, and you have all kinds of conversations about different things before you get around to the only topic anybody cares about. Did you ever see your husband and mental decline?

[Joe Getty]

Very.

[Jack Armstrong]

No. Then a very soft follow up and immediately on to how awful. What's it like to watch them tear down the East Wing after you spent so much time there?

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

A quick sideline into January 6th and how awful that was when the Trump supporters were storming the Capitol. And then into how Dr. Jill Biden kept working as a teacher at a local college, even as first Lady. They just, they just moved on to that sort of softball stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

After, after that summer that we all went through, that was just such turmoil with the presidents. Everybody in the country knows he's losing his mind, he's got to step down. How it work? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You ask one softball question, you pivot, and the next thing. What's it like to watch the East Wing torn down? Oh, that is embarrassing. That is embarrassing. What kind of country are we kind of journalism do we have? It's just embarrassing.

[Joe Getty]

What show welcome to Two old ladies exchanging pleasantries. I mean, that's all it is. It's nothing. It's a nothing burger.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's not the last interview Jill Biden's doing. She's doing Morning Joe tomorrow. Whether anybody on Morning Joe. Because I've seen a lot of fairly high level Democrats like the podcasters. I never.

[Joe Getty]

Save America. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pod save America.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those guys who are part of the whole Obama world, they're just besides themselves with disgust about this coming out and treating it like this. The way the media is handling it and how it's damaging the Democratic Party's brand to pretend that this is real. So I just wonder, where's Joe Scarborough? Take it tomorrow on Morning Joe.

[Joe Getty]

I really could see Joe Scarborough hit it pretty hard because he's a bootlicking insider. But the Bidens are yesterday's news. Please. They're worse than that. They're that, you know, that leftover that's been in your fridge for like a week and a half and you keep meaning to get rid of it, but you haven't yet. The Biden family is dead to Democratic politics. And Joe God bless him, used to be something like a truth teller. I think he still wants to cling to a little bit of that. So I got. I'm a little optimistic.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll see if she's going to do a bunch of interviews. I would think at some point somebody's gonna really hit her with hard questions. We will see. We'll have any highlights when they ever come about, but that was embarrassing. All right, we've got headlines on the way.

[Joe Getty]

do you remember this is a horrifying story, but it turns out it's not true. So you don't have to be horrified because it never actually happened. Do you remember the mass grave near Catholic school in Canada story that became such a thing five years ago now? Completely made up. So we'll talk about that later. Yeah, completely made up on the flimsiest evidence you could possibly imagine and the media just ran with it as clearly true. But we'll talk about that later.

[Joe Getty]

All right, let's figure out who's talking about what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather, what's happening?

[Heather Myers]

Happy Monday, first day of June. Joe Jack, good morning. Let's find out how the networks are covering the news, starting with NBC News. U.S. and Iran trade strikes amid talks to end war. From Fox News, US Military attacks Iran and self defense strikes over the weekend. And from npr, US Bombs Iranian military sites and Kuwait is hit by drone and missile fire.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Joe, what's your opinion on this whole kind of ceasefire? Is this it's not a ceasefire or is it that's kind of likening it to as long as you're both saying I love you in the midst of your fight before you go to bed, you know things are still okay. It's when one of you stops saying I love you that you got a real problem. Both sides are saying it's a ceasefire.

[Joe Getty]

What if one of the sides in your charming and heartwarming illustration has a history of constantly telling the others, somebody of the other sex, that they love them just to get stuff out of them? I don't know. And will only bow to being bombed. Not in the marital context, in the geopolitics. Don't bomb your spouse. No drones, no ICBMs. None of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm confused by my own metaphor.

[Heather Myers]

Now back to you from NBC, La Becerra Steyer lead in new California governor's race poll. Hilton now in close third place Whoa,

[Jack Armstrong]

what poll is that?

[Heather Myers]

That is from. That might be the Emerson poll.

[Jack Armstrong]

That must have come out this morning. Talk more about that later.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. Well, that's what I was talking about

[Jack Armstrong]

on Friday, though directionally, the polling was screaming that direction because. Well, we'll talk more about it later. But dang it, if it ends up being one Democrat and one crazy old billionaire, that's quite a choice.

[Heather Myers]

Spencer Pratt leads Karen Bass in L. A Mayor's race. That's from a California Post poll.

[Joe Getty]

Better news.

[Heather Myers]

Yeah, yeah, From Fox News. Ballots in LA found burned. Voting center vandalized.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, there's a great ad that Spencer Pratt put out one of the voting drop boxes where he, his, his ad was basically, Karen Bass keeps writing ads for me. One of the drop off your ballot places, there were homeless people around it. You'd have had to step over the homeless people sleeping next to the ballot

[Joe Getty]

thing to stick your ballot. Wow.

[Heather Myers]

From Breitbart. Outrage mounts after trans athlete AB Hernandez wins California girls track championship.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're going big on that later.

[Joe Getty]

Well done, sir. Well done. Beat those girls down. Show them who's boss.

[Heather Myers]

From KTLA this morning, Google wants to release up to 32 million good mosquitoes in California and Florida.

[Jack Armstrong]

Interesting.

[Joe Getty]

Need to know more about that one.

[Heather Myers]

Yeah, people are saying Google, that's odd. And finally, from the Babylon B. Newsome designates California sanctuary state for fraud.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Jack Armstrong]

As you can see, there are a bunch of stories there we needed to touch on, including those new polls that came out that I hadn't even seen yet because they're voting tomorrow in California, among other things. On the way, I hope you can stay here.

this January it's the Bruise Cruise Party with fighters. Watch a bare knuckle fighting event live in the Caribbean. Plus DJs, bands and chaos at sea. Prices increase soon. Hop aboard. Now go to bkfsea.com in an interview,

[Joe Getty]

Madonna said that John Kennedy Jr. Was the best sex of her life. What about us? Said the Detroit Pistons.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God.

[Joe Getty]

Oh boy. Wow. That's.

[Jack Armstrong]

But people who do these tell all books or interviews or whatever and start talking about people they had sex with decades ago. What the hell is that? Have some dignity. Good lord.

[Joe Getty]

Hey, I'm broke. I gotta sell books. I gotta throw some sex in there. I'm a washed up whatever. No.

[Jack Armstrong]

So there are two big races in California, and in terms of national attention, the one that seems to be most interesting to people is the LA Mayor race. Because you got the

[Joe Getty]

Trump.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's not Trump in terms of his politics, but he's a Trumpy style anyway. He's also got the former reality star thing too, like Trump had. I, I don't know that that's as big a similarity as people make it out to be. But Spencer Pratt, this guy running as Republican in LA and he's doing really well and it really looks like that race is gonna so tomorrow you do you pick the top two and then those people run against and it's going to be the sitting mayor, Karen Bass against Spencer Pratt, the up and comer. And there'll be a lot to talk about in that race leading up to the actual election that that one's almost dialed in. It seems to me based on the polling, the, the governor's race, our man Steve Hilton, who was leading in the polling for a very long time, we've had Steve on a bunch of times and he used to have a show on Fox and we used to have him on every single week and he's got a beard now and there's just so much going on his Republican and he has fallen in the polls a little bit. Well, actually he's gone up a little, but not up near as much as Tom Steyer, the billionaire and Javier Becerra, the former HHS secretary over Biden. And you didn't even know that because he was a non entity during the pandemic. And even people in the Biden administration say he's going to be the governor of California.

[Joe Getty]

He's an embarrassment. He's a do nothing hack.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, he came out with something late yesterday that I really, really like. Like you need Chevron, I need Chevron. Talking about the gas company that's wanting to move out of California. And the current sitting governor has been beating him up all the time because he says he's not on board with the California transitioning to electric vehicles mandate that Gavin Newsom's been behind and the whole Democratic Party's been pushing and he's not on that, which I, you know, the noises a politician makes. How much that, that reflects what they believe, I don't know. But I like him at least saying these things. California, because currently in California they're going to ban new gas vehicles starting in 2035, which is hilarious. And hybrids, which is hilarious.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Well, we said when that was first announced that's idiotic and it'll never happen. Which was true then and is now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that was a couple of years ago. Now that we're getting closer. It's just, it's just ridiculous. They've already banned by the way, you can't go out and buy a new mower or all kinds of different stuff that runs on gas. It's so maddening. Anyway, Becerra said California should transition from gas powered vehicles when it makes sense, when infrastructure and affordability are there for California families. That is a. And they told Politico that that's a very reasonable thing to say. He later elaborated in the interview, explaining that California's move away from fossil fuels hinges on unpredictable factors like federal backing, automaker collaboration, the state's financial health. We are not going to live in a world that's make believe. If you could tell me where things are, I could give you a much more precise answer. And if anyone says they can give you that answer, then they're just making a lot of inflated promises. That's a good thing. That's a, that's a good thing for him to say that. That's the truth.

[Joe Getty]

So I got to admit, he's still a hack and a, you know, lackey for the unions, but at least he's of a somewhat more realistic bent than and Gavi and his ilk. Maybe.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, at least the California Post is quoting a whole bunch of unions and power brokers in California that really hate him saying that. And he, you know, that was a gutsy thing to come out and say that he's trying to win the governor's race and that gives him a better shot among people that think our party has gone way too crazy. Democrats, sure.

[Joe Getty]

If I were to be cynical, and I am, I would say the recent polls indicate he's clearly in the runoff. He's the leading Democrat that supports coalesced around him, so he's already tacking to the center to win the general.

[Jack Armstrong]

Gotcha. He is definitely in the runoff. So it's going to be him either against Hilton or Steyer. And I think the direction the polling is going, it's unfortunately going to be the billionaire nut job against Javier Becerra, which is very disappointing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Dang it.

[Joe Getty]

Chad Bianco has to drop out, I mean, like a week ago and tell everybody supporting him, you got to vote for Steve Hilton.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hilton did a bunch of interviews over the weekend saying that of course, I'm surprised that some of the other Democrats haven't gotten out to make it easier for the Democrat to win. Like, you know, Katie Porter ain't going anywhere but, you know, out there to make some man miserable somewhere.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. Hurl potatoes and or other side dishes at him. Right. But politics now, as we've discussed many times, it's Not. It doesn't sit in people's minds and hearts the way it used to. It is who you are. And so people have declared themselves bianco people. With all due respect, I liked a lot of things he said. They can't change who they are. As opposed to just, you know, he seems like the better candidate. Oh, he can't win. There's, like, no chance. All right, well, this guy's certainly the next best choice. I'm going with him. No, it's like uprooting yourself. It's like a divorce or to change religion or something like that. It goes down to your soul. Politics is not supposed to be that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was around some people yesterday because we're voting. California is voting tomorrow on a bunch of different things. But then in the town I live in, there's the number of different things voting on man, I throw on. Some people yesterday are so passionate about all this. I suppose that's ultimately good. It's just I've never lived that way where I was that passionate about politics at all, let alone your June. Nobody's paying any attention sort of stuff. I mean, just in. Just so into this, so many signs, so. So involved in everything like that. And I realized that we've been complaining. Lots of people have been complaining for years that we need to get more active in politics.

[Joe Getty]

But there's.

[Jack Armstrong]

We did it wrong somehow. Somehow the passion is not exactly right.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Yeah, I. Yeah, that's actually kind of what I was thinking. It's great to be passionate and involved, but it depends where that energy is directed, toward what things and in what way. I mean, if your passion is. I think all people should have freedom of speech. Okay, great. If your passion is that this guy has to get elected, and if. If it turns out he's not the guy or gal, then I'm just turning bitter and angry and turning off the process and blah, blah, blah, like religious fanatic. Oh, no, that's not good.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was thinking more in terms of the whole. The passion is. My entire life's identity is being involved in this.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's ridiculous. It is very weird. Yeah, it's very weird.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'm. I'm too old to join in that crowd. And it seems to be mostly lefty young women is where the. A lot of the passion is coming from. But we'll see how the voting turns out tomorrow, and we'll have all the fallout for you then.

[Joe Getty]

A touching moment, a touching word message from our friends at Ruff Greens. The day you brought your pup home, you made A silent promise that would be to take care of them, to protect them and give them the best life possible. And you're trying to do that best you can.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was wondering, Hanson, was there any fallout from my very foul mouthed podcast from Friday? After the show we cut a one more thing podcast in which I just screamed curse words for several minutes about how much I hate paperwork. In particular to paper. We still call it paperwork even though most of it's done online. And that's where a lot of the rub comes in, that websites don't always work the way it's supposed to work when you're doing paperwork.

[Joe Getty]

Do not recognize that sign on or password. I just filled it out 20 seconds ago. What do you mean?

[Jack Armstrong]

Or you fill out all the crap and then it says, can't process it this time. Try again later. Oh, does that mean I gotta type in all this crap again later?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. I wrote an impassioned email to company management, various corporate partners and our advertisers decrying your obscene rant. Rant. Your unhinged, angry rant. It was terrible. We got a lot of great emails about it, though. Oh yeah? Yeah. Well, amused or heartened that somebody was saying it out loud.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was a hundred percent from the heart. There was no. That was not exploded your heart. That was not an act in any way. That was. That was a glimpse at me in my. I'll call it my office. Doesn't look much like an office at home. And when I'm trying to do anything and websites don't work. I lose my freaking mind. It makes me insane. And I can't believe AI is going to take over the world and we're still there with trying to do stuff online. How long before that gets figured out?

[Joe Getty]

Especially because I think as companies become more and they're engineers who know how this stuff works and can manipulate it, unlike normal people, as they become more and more confident that this is the way to go, the opportunity to reach out to a real human being will become less and less. So your only choice will be AI Phone Tree Nightmare.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it practically is already. Anyway, so we'll get to Mailbag on the way. We got a lot of stories today that are, that are pretty good. We haven't touched on Iran. There's a a deal that came to Trump and he has tinkered with it a little bit and now he's sent it back and we can get into that maybe an hour or two. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

whole thing and why doctors are calling foul on the non release of some of the info. That could be something. Who cares. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. You might agree with us, you might disagree with this, you might like the guy who said it, you might not. But I thought it was a really good description. Populism is progressivism in disguise. The problem with populism goes beyond policy blunders. It would replace our faith in limited government and traditional values with an agenda stitched together by opinion polls, personal grievances and performative outrage. Populists follow urges, not principles. They would erode our commitment to the constitution and abandon U.S. leadership in the world. Mike Pence wrote that he was talking about Republicans need to make a choice between principles and populism. Huh?

[Jack Armstrong]

The other thing is populists seem to be particularly easily swayed by charismatic leaders.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

So you could, you know, you just, you go with whoever is like the coolest or most entertaining or whatever at

[Joe Getty]

any given point or best Evokes your, your outrage and grievances and that sort of thing. Which is not to say reflecting the outrages and grievances of the electorate is a bad thing necessarily. You just have to, you know, you gotta understand the gray area of, you know, what's sincere policy prescriptions and what's just whipping people up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Does populism ever not latch onto a single individ individual? Because it seems like it always does and then it becomes a cult of personality thing.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, to some extent. Yeah. Yeah. Mailbag, Feel free to correspond. Mailbagarmstrongandgetty.com is the email address. Eric from Astoria, Oregon writes, With regard to your recent theme of optimism, I'm reminded of this sardonic chestnut, probably of Jewish Russian tradition. Pessimist says it can't get any worse. The optimist says, oh yes it can. From Eric in Astoria. Thank you, my good friend. Let's see, this is from Anna in sunny La Mesa. Guys, words matter. She's talking to the media, not us. Last week it was that the media and politicians need to stop using the term teen takeovers.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're riots.

[Joe Getty]

This week it's that they must stop calling the stuff going on in Newark, New Jersey, demonstrations and protests. They're riots. And a great many people there aren't concerned protesters. They're well funded Marxist rioters. Wake up people.

[Jack Armstrong]

Boy, so true. The language people are so good. That's obviously true. Whoever first decided, no, no, no, let's not call it a riot. Let's call it a team takeover. And people are against riots like a separate phenomenon.

[Joe Getty]

That's not like a mob crime spree. Let's call it a teen takeover. That sounds like they're going to have a sock hop down at city hall. Yeah, I'm so dishonest. Here's, here's Anita, jack, Joe. The US will be 250 years old this July 4th. The concert farce. That's the. The whole 250th birthday and the competing organizations and the Trump sponsored concert and the musicians quitting and Trump announcing I will be the headliner. Oh, we'll talk about that a little more later. Oh my God, do we have to? I know, I know, but Anita writes the concert farce with all the has been artists walking away seems to have turned into some sort of presidential pep rally. Like it or not, Democrats are Americans too. People who do not support the President who are actual citizens are Americans too. It would be a travesty to turn July 4, 2026 into a partisan pep rally for President Trump, Trump and his ambitions or the opposite, honestly, and I think Trump fans, big Trump fans, would respond. Well, the other side wants to turn it into some sort of anti Trump rally.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure.

[Joe Getty]

Oh for God's sake, we tried our best.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll bet you a shiny new $250 Trump bill that whatever happens is gonna be hard to take.

[Joe Getty]

Oh boy. Here's a note from Joe in Honduras commenting on Cal Unicorni Guys, I'm happy to report that my father received his mail in California ballot for Tuesday's election. The problem? My father left California in 2005 and became a resident of South Dakota. All of his official documentation was changed to reflect that move. Driver's license, vehicle registration, voter registration, etc. My brother brought bought my father's house, so I know he continues to get ballots at his previous California address. By the way, my father passed away in 2015, so it's even worse. And every government agency was a form of informed informed of his death. But to this day, California continues to send him mail in ballots for every election. But I'm sure no one is taking advantage of all those ballots similar to my father's. Then he mentions having moved to Honduras in retirement. The political system here doesn't seem as corrupt as what I see in my former state of California. Keep fighting a good fight, keep enjoying the sunsets and drinking whatever you drink there in Honduras. Some unholy mix of sugar and metal cow or so I don't know. Rum. Terrible. Let's see. Speaking of Cal Unicornia voting, this is from Scott. I'm unable to vote in person, so I went to drop off my ballot at the voting box in Pleasant Hill, California's City Hall. I had to wade through and suffer about 200 old loud protesters surrounding the area, some within 10ft of the box. They're blowing whistles, shouting through bullhorns, toting signs, screaming anti Trump stuff and me and anybody who came close. Hard to believe this is the United States. Well, it barely is. Let's see, on a different fair the topic of Iran, which we'll be getting into as there was an exchange of fire over the weekend, some fairly significant attacks going both ways as the ceasefire barely hangs on in the negotiations allegedly continue. It is a this is JT and Livermore. It's a logical fallacy to think that a deal can be achieved with Iran without regime change. It's the same logical fallacy underpinning the thinking that economic sanctions alone can bring Iran to an honest bargaining table. In both cases, the problem is that the terrorists in Iran, AKA the mullahs and irgc, have all the guns, which means that any money, food, riches that do exist will go to them first. Oh, yeah, absolutely. As we've said, and he echoes anybody who will machine gun 42,000 of their own citizens in the street. Doesn't care if bread's a little expensive.

[Jack Armstrong]

Excellent point. David Sanger in the New York Times had a pretty good paragraph about where we are. We'll get to that in hour two.

[Joe Getty]

He concludes, only regime change can ensure a true end to the nuclear ambitions and terrorist leanings of the current Iranian leadership. Yeah, I would agree. J2, read some great analysis by a bloke who said, look, there. There are three things that need to be 100% certain if this agreement holds any water whatsoever. Number one, you don't get rewarded for engaging in the diplomatic process. Iran, you get rewarded if you do stu stuff. Okay, we've entered into negotiations. So have freed up some oil revenue. No. Second, Hezbollah and Lebanon got nothing to do with what we're talking about. Don't try to rope your proxies in to this. No, you don't get a proxy network anymore or we're going to pound the crap out of you. We can get to point number three next hour, but those are the two big ones.

[Jack Armstrong]

President Zelensky says Putin's about to try to pound the crap out of Ukraine, including decapitation strikes and that sort of stuff. Like one of their biggest pushes ever. That's what he's warning the United States about. Maybe we'll talk about that later, too.

[Joe Getty]

In fact, he needs missiles.

Yeah, three more hours to go. And if you missed the segment, get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand.
