Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Joe Getty
Armstrong and Getty.
Jack Armstrong
And now here's Armstrong and Getty. It depends what they do. This is a critical period. They have a period of, well, till tomorrow at 8 o'. Clock.
Trey Youngster
It's all hat, no cattle, right? I mean, he's blustering, he's threatening, and
Joe Getty
yet he always backs down, tackle the hardest problems and execute the toughest missions.
Jack Armstrong
This President is about results.
Trey Youngster
What the President is doing is threatening war crimes.
Joe Getty
And the American people already recognize that
Jack Armstrong
this illegal war of choice is a big mistake. That's fine as an argument. I'm perfectly okay with you making that argument. Anybody making that argument that these are war crimes, we ought to debate this. Blah, blah, blah. Who was the guy who said he always backs down? Who is that?
Joe Getty
That was a Harvard grad, former U.S. marine Congressperson from blue Massachusetts saying something so patently laughable. Can't believe he said it out loud. But again, he's in a safe district. He's just signaling to his core.
Jack Armstrong
Plus, in a time of war, to say our commander in chief always backs down. Are you daring him to do it? What do you want?
Joe Getty
Yeah, some of the clearly, openly rooting for America to fail because that means Trump's has failed among Democrats is absolutely disgusting. If you want to make a principled argument that we have the duty to listen to that, absolutely bring it on. As a matter of fact, at some point I'd like to get to the fact that impressive number of Congress people are starting to rumble that, hey, we're getting close to 60 days and the War Powers act is pretty clear we need to do some voting pretty soon. So that's all in the works. But yes, he always backs down. You're an idiot.
Jack Armstrong
It's 39 today, 39 days. So we got a little while. It might not make any differences. Trump posted this morning, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. Unbelievable statement from the President of the United States. I mean, just makes his other statements that were unbelievable seem like nothing to me. I mean, that's just a whole civilization will die tonight. That's, that's a hell of a threat. Now somebody brought up earlier the idea that should one guy be making this decision or should Congress vote on that? Yeah, I would say on the topic of wiping out an entire civilization, probably Congress should be voting on that as opposed to one person making a decision.
Joe Getty
As I said, if we don't reckon in a serious way with the question of what's declaring a war or what is a war and when should it be declared now we never will again. And you might as well just take an eraser to the Constitution, of course.
Jack Armstrong
Well, I got a tangent on that, but I'll save my tangent. Let's listen to a little of Tre Youngster reporting from Fox and Friends. Some really interesting stuff here.
Trey Youngster
What the President knows and what the public knows are two very different things. There are a lot of conversations and preparations going on behind the scenes even as we are talking right now. A very high ranking source just sent me a screenshot of the President's post here and is typing right now. There is an understanding that both Israel and the United States, as Operation Epic Fury continues, are working side by side on an hourly basis to prepare a variety of contingency plans on the battlefield.
Jack Armstrong
I wonder if in reality there's no chance like Trump isn't even considering following through on on his Truth Social post,
Joe Getty
or he's already given up completely on negotiations and is just pretending that he's still engaged to dupe the Iranians. And he launches in 10 minutes from now, which is while we're speaking these words far prior to the deadline and
Jack Armstrong
does take out all the power plants and bridges and everything like he or
Joe Getty
the human shields get in place. I don't know. It's all on the table.
Jack Armstrong
More from Troy Inkst.
Trey Youngster
But let's think about what's happened over the past 24 hours, the past 48 hours as well. You had B2 bombers fly from the United States to Iranian territory and drop bunker buster bombs on the outskirts of Tehran targeting senior commanders in an underground bunker. I am told just right now a senior Israeli official confirming to Fox News that the Israelis have started strikes against Iranian rail infrastructure. Remember earlier today the Israelis warned civilians to stay off the trains in Iran. They have started to target the bridges of the rail system in Iran as we speak. Additionally, you have these strikes overnight against Kharg island, the largest export facility in Iranian territory, accounting for around 90% of the of Iran's oil exports. And you have ongoing US And Israeli strikes against Iranian military infrastructure.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. I might be changing my mind. I was thinking that this is all a diversion. They got all the people around the bridges and the power plants in Tehran and everything. And we're going to take the straight of Hormuz, which has been the focal point over the first 30 some days. We're going to take Carg Island. We're going to take it while you're distracted over there. Okay, now what's your bargaining position? We opened the straight back up, but
Joe Getty
see, I don't think that would open the straight back up. There's just too many ways to hit it from too many different places. You've got to get them to capitulate to the point that they say, I don't want to hit any boats anymore. I won't do it.
Jack Armstrong
But Iran taken out, or Israel rather, taken out to the trains and everything like that. This might just be the day. Like you said, Trump has realized there's no negotiating with these people. Let's do it. Let's take this country out. The trains, the bridges, the power plants, they're going to have nothing by the end of the day.
Joe Getty
Or I would put it like this, the IRGC having declared to the world, okay, in order to get our way, we're going to bring the world economy to its knees. And Trump replying, you want to see an economy brought to its knees? Hold my Diet Coke.
Jack Armstrong
As I said earlier, at what point does the Iranian on the street, the average Iranian on the street who hates the regime, the mullahs, and is willing to take a lot of pain because the pain is less than having thugs come into your house at night and take dad out and shoot him in the street, which they've been living with for half a century. At what point they did they say, you're destroying our whole country. There's gonna be nothing left. And they turn on this. I wonder.
Joe Getty
Well, it's, it's going to be, you know, percentages number is going to go from 10 to 20% depending on the destruction. And does it reach critical mass? Who knows? Unknowable.
Jack Armstrong
I am God. There's a lot of different directions this could go today. Let's hear.
Joe Getty
I was going to say at some point. I mean, we can keep going. Trey Angst if you want. He's terrific. At some point, I'd like to hear from Tuk Tuk.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, we will definitely get to that. We have to get to that. Let's hear Tray again.
Trey Youngster
What we are looking at right now is a staging operation the United States and Israel are preparing. If a deal is not made, there will be an increase in strikes against the Iranian regime. The president described it as power plant day and bridge day to go after this critical infrastructure inside of Iran.
Jack Armstrong
So, and then Trey goes on to say that the. The energy sites are Iran's Achilles heel. This could really force their hand. I don't know if anything forces your hand when you're a religious zealot.
Joe Getty
Right?
Jack Armstrong
So that's the problem there. Here's what Tucker Carlson says is likely to happen in the next 24 hours if you work in the White House
Joe Getty
or in the US Military. Now it's time to say no, absolutely not.
Jack Armstrong
And say it directly to the president.
Joe Getty
No. In case you're thinking about using some
Jack Armstrong
weapon of mass destruction against the population
Joe Getty
of Iran in whose name we liberated Iran. We killed their religious leader for their benefit.
Jack Armstrong
Do you remember that this was last month.
Joe Getty
Those people who are in direct contact
Jack Armstrong
with the President need to say, no, I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, because this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out.
Joe Getty
Figure out the codes on the football yourself.
Jack Armstrong
That's a follow up to Tucker saying that President Trump is considering nuclear war in Iran. That's part of the plan. And that the leaders in the White House need to say no to the President. Trump has responded in an interview with the New York Post saying, Tucker's a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what's going on. He calls me all the time. I don't return his calls. I don't deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools.
Joe Getty
Okay, all right. First of all, Trump is not contemplating using nuclear weapons on the population of Iran. That is absolute conspiracy clickbait. Which is the business Tucker's now in, which is very disappointing to me. And to call him a low IQ individual is ridiculous. He's brilliant. He's just twisted. So, anyway, the two of you settle that on your own. I don't, you know, I'm like the parent. You two want to fight? Fine. I'm going into the other room.
Jack Armstrong
So for some reason, it reminded me of this. I'm re listening to a book I read years ago called Ike's Bluff. And just it fits in with a lot of stuff that's going on right now to my mind. Anywho, there is a portion of the book where they talk about when Kennedy became president. And it was shortly thereafter that the wall went up in Berlin. The Berlin Wall, and the Soviet Union was getting very aggressive. This was just months after Kennedy becomes president. And he was very concerned that the Soviet Union was about to Make a push to take more of Europe. And that we, I mean, his inauguration address, we will bury. Bear any burden, pay any price to, you know, support freedom. So basically telling the Soviet Union, no, you ain't. So they put up the wall and it looks like they're going to get aggressive. And he is told that they have. The Soviet Union has so many tanks and troops, there's no way we could stop them. And so he, he brought in some of his advisors and discussing the idea of nuclear. Using a nuclear weapon to stop them. If the Soviet Union starts to try to take the rest of Germany, you know, or move on Europe, do we use a nuclear weapon? And his advisor told him, and this is something. And this is why we got to elect people with brains that work and have good judgment, because it ultimately, Congress or no Congress, it comes down to one guy making this decision. If the S ever really hits the fan, there's just no getting around it. Kennedy was told by former Secretary of State under Truman, you need to make that decision right now. Don't wait until it's that moment. Decide right now in your mind if the Soviet Union moves whether you're going to use a nuclear weapon. Make that decision in a calm moment. Now, don't tell anybody, but you need to make that decision for yourself.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
And I thought, holy crap. And that is the situation you can end. Every president can end up in. I don't know if every president at some point does that. If China does this, will I use a nuclear. Because you should make that decision when you're calm.
Joe Getty
Boy, it feels like we ought to have, I don't know, a YouTube video or some sort of coaching session. So now you're President. Welcome to the office. Here's things you should do to get you ready for the big decisions you're going to make.
Jack Armstrong
How about that?
Joe Getty
I don't mean, I don't mean the curtains in the Oval Office. You keep it jovial.
Jack Armstrong
How about that advice that I think every prison's faced within a certain level?
Joe Getty
Yeah, I think that's actually really good advice.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Make that decision when you're calm. If, If X happens, what is Y?
Joe Getty
Right? You can always reconsider in the light of, you know, the specifics. But, yeah, I think that's probably a good idea.
Jack Armstrong
And so I wonder where Trump is on that, on. On all of this. I don't know. I guess we're going to find out in a couple hours.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
If you're listening to this podcast, tomorrow, in the future, Iran, all that civilization may already be gone as promised by Donald Trump.
Joe Getty
I think he's just gonna blow up some power plants. I think the civilization will still be there. With all due respect to his never ending hyperbole.
Jack Armstrong
Well, you can't blame a guy for what is the whole thing with Trump? The people take him literally but not seriously. Or seriously but not literally.
Joe Getty
Yeah, take him seriously but not literally.
Jack Armstrong
Well, it depends on which side of Trump you're on.
Joe Getty
I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm offering some advice to the good folks.
Jack Armstrong
But if a, the, the leader of the most powerful country that has ever existed on earth that has the ability to blow up the entire world says a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. You gotta at least pay some attention to that in the history of threats.
Joe Getty
That's a good one.
Jack Armstrong
Oh my God. What's your reaction to that text line? 415295KFTC Armstrong and Getty.

Jessica.
Jack Armstrong
Jessica. Jessica. Jessica where are you Jessica. Now Katie, can you explain what that was? It's this trend going around on TikTok where apparently if your child is screaming and having a fit and you yell Jessica, where are you Jessica? The child stops now. And I assume obviously they don't need to be named Jessica for this to work. In theory, I don't know. So is it just something? Well, just yelling. Would yelling anything work? Is that the trick here? Or is there something about the sounds, Jessica that are more startling and ear grabbing than other sounds? 0Science Jack.
Joe Getty
I don't know. It's the Internet. Nobody will be talking about this by four in the afternoon. That is an interesting question.
Jack Armstrong
Just yelling anything might be the thing.
Joe Getty
It seems to me I've heard a different version of this where if you yell something nonsensical, it will so change the set of the brain. Just the. Which neurons are firing, that the whole I'm upset and I'm a kid, so I'm yelling will become. Wait, what was that? What?
Jack Armstrong
And it just.
Joe Getty
It interrupts the neurological flow. And is that making up terms as I go here?
Jack Armstrong
And is that when you throw the slice of cheese on their head?
Joe Getty
Exactly.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that one needs to come back. That was great.
Joe Getty
Well, that's. It's the same thing.
Jack Armstrong
Right, right, right, right, right.
Joe Getty
Where are you, Jessica? Is the new slice of cheese on that?
Jack Armstrong
I'm not condoning any. If the animals don't like it, don't mess with them. But have you seen what they started doing that to cats with the slice of cheese? No. The cats just, like, stop and freak out. Don't. I would freak out. Did you just throw a slice of cheese on my head? It's like the craft stuff that's super sticky. I don't know how to react to this.
Joe Getty
Precisely. Yeah. You know, you stop what you're doing.
Jack Armstrong
I had a cheese trend. I had a moment yesterday. You'll be this soon enough, Katie. Okay. As Katie. Katie Green is with child. If you're new to the show. I was coming out of the gym, and there was a Coming into the gym, and there was a mom coming out, and she had a stroller with, like, a little kid. And then she's holding another kid's hand. She's got the bag over her shoulder. She's trying to hold her bag full of stuff and get the kid out. And kid is, like, distracted and pushed. And for whatever reason, I just love moms or dads, parents doing the deal. Just watching them just like. Because that is such a hassle. And I just love people doing that. I just. I think it's fantastic that there are still enough people that are willing to do that and do it willingly and get so much satisfaction out of just doing the deal of being a parent. Yeah. And. And I really. I realized it might be because I'd been listening to a podcast about people that were childless and all that sort of. You have no idea the satisfaction you get out of that if you're childless and you look at that as a hassle.
Joe Getty
Anytime I see a dad actively engaged in his child's lives, it makes me so happy.
Jack Armstrong
What if you let your kids run off in the zoo and get bit by wolves. We've got to do that story. Have you heard that one?
Joe Getty
That doesn't sound like a hypothetical to me. Did this happen?
Jack Armstrong
I'm not sure I agree with the law on this. We'll have to get to that story a little bit later. We got some new Gavin Newsom's wife stuff too.

Trump has threatened to end a civilization. In fact, he has vowed he will end a civilization. We'll talk about that more later. Also, is it a crime to let your toddler be attacked by wolves? I say maybe not. Get to that story coming up a little bit.
Joe Getty
It's not good parenting. I think we can all agree on that.
Jack Armstrong
Also, I have the problem of my shoes are so much too big for me. I keep almost stepping out of them and it's really become a problem today. How does this happen? I bought them used online and and they're just, they're like two sizes way too big.
Joe Getty
Oh boy. Time to start a GoFundMe for Jack used shoes.
Jack Armstrong
They're like 12s and I wear a 10 and a half or 11. So did you just want them really bad and figured you'd make that work? Yeah, I bought lots of used shoes, but these are really not even close to the right size. You're charming. So it's one word.
Joe Getty
Fart.
Jack Armstrong
I was watching Mark Halperin's video podcast yesterday afternoon. He he, he was playing the same Gavin Newsom's wife clip we played yesterday. That was the Instagram post from the weekend where she talks about the patriarchy
Joe Getty
that's part of her new documentary that she's force feeding to California schools for her profit to indoctrinate the little children into postmodernism, AKA Neo Marxism.
Jack Armstrong
And she Uses all the hot graduate school Marxist terms when she talks all the time, it's so annoying. But Mark Halpern's take is he thinks there's a real good chance Gavin doesn't run. And this is why. Just because it would be just so difficult for the whole family. She'd be a big focal point. Because he. He was talking about that Miranda Devine article I was reading from in the New York Post, which was pretty harsh on Newsom's wife. Deservedly so, in my opinion. But. But, you know, you thinking about running for president, you think that, man, my wife being attacked in major publications all day long. Do I want to do that?
Joe Getty
Well, and she, if you're not aware of her act, she is a near cartoonish, like, not cartoonish as much as, like, portrayed in a movie. Rich, hot, entitled, utterly overconfident, advocate of progressive ideals. I mean, like, seriously, she's the devil wears Prada style, you know, Hollywood central cast.
Jack Armstrong
Throw in a dose of whatever the word would be for you figured out a way to profit from it.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah. And agreed.
Jack Armstrong
Head.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Absolutely true. Okay, well, this is the premise of her latest screed. This came out a couple of years ago, I guess, but there is a treasure trove of this sort of audio. We'll start with 31.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Like, every problem that we have in society right now will be fixed when women come together and partner with our male allies and other allies. But when more women are in the rooms making decisions, changing the status quo and transforming not just our culture, but our society and our economy.
Joe Getty
Oh, gosh. Every problem in society will be fixed when women are in the rooms with their male allies. Which means, fellow postmodernists, Marxists. Yeah. By the way, that's. That's what that code means. But. Wow. Wow. All of you who work in predominantly female offices, I'm sure you can report on how they are harmonious and lovely and there's never any conflict. Ms. Newsom goes on.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
I'll give you one example. Look at tech at Silicon Valley. Had more women been early on in those companies or at the tables of power making decisions, I don't think we would have so much, or have allowed for so much sort of bigotry, racism, misogyny, and hate online. I don't think that we would have the anonymity of it. I think that there would have been a. Ooh, that's unkind. That's not okay. You can't make people money off of that. About dividing people, misinforming people.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
You know Belittling people, bullying people. I mean, again, think about who's the victims online. More often than not, it's women, lgbtq, marginalized communities, women of color.
Jack Armstrong
So, first of all, why do those people say bullying instead of bullying? It's very consistent. But. So, okay, I'll give you that. Misogyny is the purview of the male. I will give you that one.
Joe Getty
It's man's work.
Jack Armstrong
You're right, but. So racism and greed.
Joe Getty
Bullying.
Jack Armstrong
Bullying. That's all. That's all a male thing. You wouldn't have that if women were in charge. Where did you come up with this? How did you come. Have you ever sat around and watched little girls play, just like little boys play? You don't find any of that ever happening? Are you kidding me?
Joe Getty
Have you seen any rallies on college campuses lately, Katie? Any thoughts you'd like to hear?
Jack Armstrong
Listening to her makes me think she's also never been on the Internet because you would see where a lot of the slams and trolling, it comes from.
Joe Getty
Women.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I hadn't even thought of that. You hear that a lot. That in the high school social media world. Oh, my God. Well, it's mean girls. It's the whole mean girls thing. The women are way harsher. But you've never watched little kids play and seen a little girl who will also. That doll is mine. Give it to me. Just like a little boy.
Trey Youngster
You.

That. That's just a boy thing. Okay, fine.
Joe Getty
I don't know what's a different form, but come on.
Jack Armstrong
And then racism is a guy thing, not a girl. Are you kidding me?
Joe Getty
I know, I know. It's absurd. She's like practically a cartoon character. Certainly a movie character that's a little broadly drawn.
Jack Armstrong
So all the negatives of human nature are just something that men have. Women just automatically don't have it. And to the extent that they do have it, they're probably. It was probably forced onto them by the patriarchy.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, exactly. They've internalized.
Jack Armstrong
This is the first time I've thought, she's nuts. She's nuts.
Joe Getty
And this is. You know, Orwell was being a little broad when he was writing 1984, no pun intended. But this is documentably true when it comes to the. The Cultural Revolution in China, the Maoist movement. As Orwell said in 1984, it was always the women and above all, the young ones, who were the most adherents of the party. The swallowers of slog, spies and nosers out of unorthodoxy. Which is precisely what Jennifer Siebel nuisance was advocating there. If the women were in charge of the Internet, they would have nosed out the unorthodoxy. They would have swallowed the slogans. As she has, she's gobbled them down and is more than happy to appoint herself as the noser out of unorthodoxy.
Jack Armstrong
I was just kind of amused by her before. She is now frightening to me. She's a scary person.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Luckily she is not as smart as she thinks she is. And she doesn't understand how she comes off. She doesn't have the craftiness to be successful because as soon as people get a load of her, they'll be like, oh, my God, one of those. She thinks it's still 20, 21 or whatever. And George Floyd hasn't been laid to rest yet. She is still on the militant college girl front foot.
Jack Armstrong
But I thought she was mostly the misogyny thing. And so, you know, women have gotten the short end of the stick in a lot of different situations over the years and we've been correcting that for a long time. But the idea that racism, greed, all that sort of stuff is a guy thing only and not human nature. You are crazy.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. She is incredibly lacking in insight.
Jack Armstrong
Do you have another one? That's all of them.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Okay. Well, that. That's. That's more troubling than I ever even thought.
Joe Getty
Wait a minute. We do have some new ones, but it says wait on the sheet.
Jack Armstrong
Well, we will wait then, as long as it takes.
Joe Getty
Handsome.
Jack Armstrong
We've got to get to the. Is it okay to let your kids be attacked by wolves or not? And is it a crime?
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Happen at a zoo.
Joe Getty
As long as we're having to go at the Newsome family Gov Gav did something odd the other day which will feature for you after word from our friends at Ruff Greens. You love your dog. You care about your dog. You want it to have a long, happy life. And that's why you ought to consider adding rough greens to your dog's diet.
Jack Armstrong
Yep. It's so dog food. And your dog gets to keep eating the same food, which of course is a very, very handy because if you've ever switched dog foods, it's a bit of a mess. So you get to do the same. But dog food is shelf stable. It's got to be able to stay on the shelf for a long time. It's lifeless. Rough greens is packed with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, omega pills, all that sort of stuff. And you can try it for Nothing, just the shipping. Rough Greens is offering a free Jump Start trial bag. You just cover the shipping. Use the discount code Armstrong to claim your free Jump Start trial bag@ruffgreens.com spelled ruff.
Joe Getty
The idea is it reduces oxidative stress, supports immune defense and slows age related decline, helping your dog stay active, mobile and alert as the pup ages. Once again. Ruff Greens.com Rough Greens.com use that promo code Armstrong. So don't change your dog's food, just add Rough Greens and watch the health benefits come alive. Rough Greens.com use the code ARMSTRONG Woof. So Gov Gav practically broke down in tears telling the story. It's clip 30. Michael the other day on stage, one of his many appearances. Go ahead and run.
Trey Youngster
That I met with this kid in
Jack Armstrong
Ventura county whose two parents quite literally disappeared. He didn't even know how to get back into his home. He's a young child, no brothers and sisters. He didn't even know how to feed himself. His mom and dad going to the same meatpacking place they'd been going or vegetable packing for 25 years. They smashed the windows, they disappeared.
Joe Getty
You.
Jack Armstrong
You have an experience like that, I'm done.
Joe Getty
Well, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's department or the DA's office or the Southern California FBI office, nobody has any report or record of any of this happening. No eyewitness account, no video, no written accounts. Nobody can figure out what he's talking about.
Jack Armstrong
Oh really? Because it's quite the story.
Joe Getty
That's a great story and well, let's
Jack Armstrong
not let the facts get in the
Joe Getty
way of a good story.
Jack Armstrong
When he got to the smash to the windows part, that's where it seemed incredible to me.
Joe Getty
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
Are they smashing out windows to get in there and then snatch kids away?
Joe Getty
We've got more of his woke wife ready if you'd like to hear more. Sure, yeah, go ahead. With 33
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
boys are moving away from sort of the more progressive boys that spend time online are moving a little bit. I'm trying not to be political here, but are moving to the right and being sort of influenced by the Andrew Tates and some of that sort of alt right socialization online that we know is very, very dangerous. My husband and I were alarmed when our kids were watching sports online and my son knew about Andrew Tate and thought he was pretty cool and thought that his Republican grandfather, who's not a Trumper but a fiscal conservative, thought that my father would like Andrew Tate. So that's scary. We're like one of the Most progressive households. And our son is confused and asking all these questions.
Joe Getty
Okay.
Jack Armstrong
It's interesting. Her calling himself is a very progressive household and ain't going to work for getting the. For winning the presidency, I don't think. But anyway, I don't think he's going to run. So this will all be water under the bridge at some point.
Joe Getty
Michael hit me with 34. I'm just curious about it.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
We're working on legislation to hold tech companies accountable and be. Help them be a force for good in our kids and families lives. To really provide all the best in class resources and support for youth so that they don't go down this rabbit hole of very, very dangerous and limiting narratives around ultimately what it means to be a girl and what it means to be a boy. We owe it to them and ourselves to kind of heal this, this, this gift of modern technology, but curb it to be a force for good.
Joe Getty
Yeah, they're going to hold tech accountable just like they did during COVID Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And let me guess. The best way for to be a boy is to be more like a girl.
Joe Getty
Correct?
Jack Armstrong
Would be me.
Joe Getty
My guess, 100%.
Jack Armstrong
Parents. Kids got bit by wolves at the zoo and they're being charged with a crime. It's kind of an interesting story and worth the discussion. We'll get to that coming up next.
Joe Getty
Among other things, Armstrong and Gettysburg.

I mentioned earlier how I just I love seeing parents doing the deal. I don't know why and just it gladdens my heart to see that sort of thing. Saw a woman leaving the gym with a pushing one kid in a stroller and another kid by the hand and trying to carry all her stuff and do all that sort of stuff and I just. I don't know. I find that fantastic. This Is a different sort of story from a zoo. This is the way it was prayed on portrayed on CBS News last night. A family outing at Hershey Park Zoo America in Pennsylvania on Saturday turned into a frightening scene after a 17 month toddler wandered away from his parents and
Public Sponsor Announcer
stuck his hand under the fence of a wolf enclosure.
Jack Armstrong
Zoo officials say one of three wolves in the enclosure grabbed the child's hand with its mouth. Quick thinking bystanders pulled the child to safety. He suffered minor injuries. Investigators alleged that the child's parents were distracted by their cell phones and sat on a nearby bench about 30ft away from the wolf enclosure. The parents are now each facing one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom
The misdemeanor. They're looking at the potential for up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Jack Armstrong
So I would need to know all those specifics.
Joe Getty
The jail time won't happen, but yeah, find them. They suck. You're bad parents. Sorry, I've come to a swift and certain judgment.
Jack Armstrong
You don't think. Well, I'd have to see the situation. I'd have to see the zoo situation because it's possible now. Well, there's two things. There's possible they could be the kind of parents you're always complaining about this who are pushing their kids in a stroller and staring at their phone and the kid doesn't even get the facial recognition feedback it needs and all that sort of stuff.
Public Sponsor Announcer
Correct.
Joe Getty
And in the Supreme Court of Joe Getty there is a presumption of guilt, which is horrible.
Jack Armstrong
Yes. Katie, that report also included the fact that there are two levels of barricades for all of the enclosures at the zoo. So the kid had to climb under a little fence in order to get his hand into the wolf area. Yeah, these parents suck. Find the hell out. I was going to say there's a possibility that you're also. You've been, you've been at the zoo for hours. You've been paying attention kid, the whole hours. And you sit down in an area where you think it's perfectly safe for your 17 months. What is that, a year and a half? That's pretty little. I wouldn't let a kid that get very far from me at all. But anyway, say it was a three year old, you sit down, you think, God, I gotta take a break, I'm gonna check some of my work emails. While a kid, I don't know looks at the rock wall or something like that. I can imagine that the outcome is the proof.
Joe Getty
Aaron Jo Getty's Supreme Court of parental judgment that the kid got bit by wolves.
Jack Armstrong
Nearly torn limb from limb by wolves. How do you take your eyes off of a child that small in a
Joe Getty
place that's a pretty climb into the double, you know, forbidden disclosure or enclosure. Rather not disclosure. Here's a disclosure. Those parents are terrible. I also, I also liked Tom Hansen's report on CBS News. Quick thinking bystanders pulled a child to safety. Hey, hey, you know what we could do? We could pull the child to safety.
Jack Armstrong
I have.
Joe Getty
There's a wild beast got hold of that animal.
Jack Armstrong
Anybody got any ideas? I'm a slow thinking gentleman who's had no paramedic training and I think my first thought would be grab the kid and pull him away from the wolves.
Joe Getty
Apparently Mr. Hansen Having graduated from the David Muir school of talking headism said and the child suffered minor injuries in his. The child's arm is gone and can be retached voice.
Jack Armstrong
As soon as I had the kid I would be thinking whose kid is this over here by himself sticking its hands under the fence with the.
Joe Getty
Not even 18 months old.
Jack Armstrong
That's pretty little.
Joe Getty
That's in both mom and dad looking at their phones. Please.
Jack Armstrong
That's a really little kid. I think when I first heard the story I was picturing more like a four year old.
Joe Getty
I got a kid prone to climbing in wolf cages. Then you got it. Adjust your behavior.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. One of those kids, the kind of kid that likes to climb into the wolf cage.
Joe Getty
Right, right.
Jack Armstrong
Where was that? And we have a story like that a couple of years ago. Was that the kid got in there with the baboons or the tigers or the something sat down there for quite a while. Remember that video?
Joe Getty
Oh well, of course there was the infamous story of what was the gorilla's name? Rwanda Mamamba who got shot then. And there were various progressives marched Harambe. Right. That was unfortunate.
Jack Armstrong
That became quite a story. Right?
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. Kid fell in with the gorillas and yeah, that was no. There were no winners that day, Jack. Very sad.
Jack Armstrong
So Trump has threatened to wipe out a civilization. In fact, he stated he's going to.
Joe Getty
Well now
Jack Armstrong
even by Trump standards of hyperbole, that's a heck of a thing to say. We'll have to talk about that more in hour four.

This episode unpacks a day of escalating global tensions, presidential threats, and hot-button cultural topics. Armstrong & Getty dissect President Trump’s dramatic warnings about Iran, analyze the possible realities versus political theater, and ponder the immense responsibility of nuclear decisions. The show pivots from national security to viral parenting TikToks and concludes by skewering California’s first lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom for her remarks on gender, power, and society.
(02:51–16:17, 26:21–27:20, 47:49–48:05)
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.”
Jack Armstrong (04:16)
"If we don't reckon in a serious way with the question of what's declaring a war or what is a war and when should it be declared now we never will again. And you might as well just take an eraser to the Constitution."
Joe Getty (05:34)
“You need to make that decision right now. Don’t wait until it’s that moment. Decide right now if the Soviet Union moves whether you’re going to use a nuclear weapon. Make that decision in a calm moment.”
Jack Armstrong quoting advisors to Kennedy (13:43)
(19:35–22:50, 42:52–46:09)
(42:52–47:11)
“There is a presumption of guilt, which is horrible.”
Joe Getty (44:28)
(27:21–39:29)
“Every problem that we have in society right now will be fixed when women come together and partner with our male allies and other allies. But when more women are in the rooms making decisions, changing the status quo…and our economy.”
Jennifer Siebel Newsom (29:07)
“Are you kidding me? ...You don't find any of [bullying] ever happening? Are you kidding me?”
Jack Armstrong (31:06)
“As Orwell said in 1984, it was always the women...who were the most adherents of the party, the swallowers of slog, spies and nosers out of unorthodoxy. Which is precisely what Jennifer Siebel nuisance was advocating there.”
