Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Katie Green
A lot of you won't hear this live, but as of our speaking, the NASDAQ is down. S P is down about 223. The Dow is down about 1400. This is just today. We're not talking about yesterday and today. I'm not talking about since the beginning. The Dow is down almost 1500 just today from last night's big drop. And then you got your Nasdaq down about 650.
Joe Getty
I'm a big fan of percentages just because the Dow Jones Industrial average is worth $40,000 and the S&P 500 is 5,000. So you have to do a bunch of math in your head to understand. But so it's the S and P, which is really to me the one to look at is down just under 4% on the day after.
Katie Green
Going down what, 4% yesterday?
Joe Getty
Something like that. Yeah. Let me do one week.
Katie Green
And none of this is step back from the cliff. None of this is proof that this isn't gonna work out. But it's not good news. Anybody who claims it's, you know.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I would say it's concerning Correction territory down 10%. Anyway, I saw yesterday year over year, I think it was the S and P was still up 4%. Well may not be true anymore, but again, this all could be so wildly different Tuesday of next week.
Katie Green
Absolutely. If Trump announces over the weekend we won, we did it. We got Europe to something or other.
Joe Getty
The Solomon Islands are going to accept our imports of shrimp.
Katie Green
Right. Europe has guaranteed to a conversation about re blah, blah, blah. I've ended the turfs and then, and then all of this would be gained back I think like very quickly.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I think so, yeah. Depending on how assured the markets were that that this is all. We're not going to have another round of this next month. But anyway, we'll find out. I hope, you know. Well, if you're going to retire today, I sure as hell would hope you'd have risked reduced your risk a while ago.
Katie Green
My dad, who's quite old has told me I've lost half of everything I have like three or four times since I retired. I mean, you know, financial crash Covid.
Joe Getty
So is heavy investments in Beanie Babies there? Exactly. For a while.
Katie Green
Big on that.
Joe Getty
Right. We have a lot to squeeze into the final hour of the week. But first it is the beloved Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look back at the week that was. It's cow clips of the Week. I think it's going very well. Just have to treat us fairly and.
Michaelangelo
We'Re flipping that on its head.
Joe Getty
This is cow clips of the week.
Katie Green
My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.
Joe Getty
For decades our country has been looted.
Katie Green
Pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far.
Joe Getty
Do something about this US China trade relationship. That is a job loser for the United States. They Hate our beef because our beef is beautiful.
Katie Green
Do not retaliate.
Joe Getty
Do not panic here.
Katie Green
That's my message to America.
Joe Getty
But what if they're wrong? They're not going to be wrong. It is going to work. Did you write a swastika on there?
Katie Green
I'm sorry you're upset. Did you write a swastika?
Joe Getty
It didn't even work. We will find you, arrest you and put you behind bars.
Ryan Seacrest
They're just pretending to be judges.
Joe Getty
Just politicians wearing judges robes.
Cindy Crawford
They don't want to see some outsider, some billionaire come in and try to.
Joe Getty
Buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Katie Green
This is gross.
Joe Getty
They're just doing all this to try to distract from what's happening on their side.
Michaelangelo
I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes.
Joe Getty
But we need to own our mistakes. And we need to own what's wrong with our partners.
Michaelangelo
I don't believe you.
Joe Getty
Our athletic director made me remove my shirt and told me it was like.
Cindy Crawford
Wearing a swastika in front of a Jewish person.
Joe Getty
Shay, Shay, Shay. Unfair. You can see now that we are.
Katie Green
In a pre Civil War culture. Now President Trump reportedly says he's considering ways to serve a third term.
Joe Getty
The Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you.
Katie Green
I'd love that.
Joe Getty
My phone number was in his phone. Because my phone number is in his phone. I identified all the GD fire hydrants. Finally.
Katie Green
Oh, I gotta have a six digit.
Joe Getty
Code sent to my phone so nobody hacks into aol. Cause if they did, then what? G money? The man that braided my hair while I was asleep on the plane. I need you to come forth immediately.
Katie Green
Oh, Tony.
Joe Getty
Inevitable. You can be my wingman anytime.
Katie Green
You went with Tony Top Gun to honor Val Coomer's death.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, my God.
Katie Green
Check in your testicles and go home.
Joe Getty
Where are y'all?
Katie Green
Revealed yourself as gay.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Ryan Seacrest
Don't any of you have the guts.
Joe Getty
To play for blood? I'm your huckleberries. They were wrong about nafta.
Katie Green
They were wrong about China.
Joe Getty
China. They were wrong about nafta. They were wrong about China. Tariff.
Katie Green
China.
Joe Getty
Tariff. Thank you, everybody.
Katie Green
Thank you very much. China. China announced 34% additional tariffs today on the United States. Trump has tweeted out that China has played this wrong. They panicked. Okay, we'll see how this goes.
Joe Getty
Super. A couple of comments on cow number one. The Corey Spartacus Booker attempt at a publicity stunt is 25 hour filibuster. That wasn't about any legislation. It was just occupying the floor and talking about something or other.
Katie Green
It was the try to get on the news act for Cory Booker of the spring.
Joe Getty
If a gnat flatulated in a hurricane, it would get more attention than Cory Booker's idiotic stunt. It reminds me of one day in high school. I was riding with my dad in the car. We were talking about college or something. For some reason, I said, well, you know, maybe I don't want to go to college in a very teenage way. He said, okay, it's up to you. And that ended the discussion right there. Got about as much reaction as Cory Booker did.
Katie Green
Idiot.
Joe Getty
And then Alec Baldwin. I tell you, we're living in a pre Civil War civilization right now. Yes, indeed, Alec, if you want to talk about comedic timing, when I get.
Katie Green
Stressed, I want to shoot a chick.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy. I. It was an accident, allegedly. If you want to talk about comedic timing, I would be more than happy to listen to what you have to say, but literally. Well, marrying fake Spaniards. I would be curious to hear your opinion on that as well. But other than that, really nothing. Why do you have a reality show? Is your lifestyle so expensive and you've got so little income right now? You're desperate? You and your fake Spaniard wife and your poor kids. Why are you doing that? Reality shows are the last refuge of scoundrels anyway. No, when I'm talking, you're not talking.
Katie Green
Oh, forgot about that.
Joe Getty
By the way, the Free Press Nelly Bowles, which I love the headline of their TGIF column, which is their morning thing every Friday, is our beef is beautiful. Trump tariffs the world. And they go into some of the sillier details on this, that Trump slapped a 47% tariff on Madagascar, which is a lot of penguins. We have tariffs on the uninhabited heard island and McDonald Islands, too. Norfolk island was hit with 29% even though it exports nothing to the U.S. not a thing. We have a 50% tariff on the tiny, impoverished kingdom of Lesotho. Necessary, since everybody knows Besotho blankets should be made in Ohio by the Mypillow team. Oh, that's just. You know what? That's snarky.
Katie Green
Yeah, that was too much.
Joe Getty
That's the one thing we don't need.
Katie Green
No, it's one thing we don't allow on this show.
Joe Getty
Right. No snark. Beautiful beef. All right, all right. We'll wake up Monday and the world will have changed again.
Katie Green
One thing I wanted to mention before we take a break.
Joe Getty
I did like this headline, Americans rush to buy TV's soy sauce and Lululemon. Workout gear. We got an email from one of our beloved listeners who said, oh, where is it? I want to get the place right. The number one soy sauce in America is produced, like, in Ohio, somewhere in the Midwest.
Katie Green
Story we meant to mention earlier.
Joe Getty
Big story.
Katie Green
I'm surprised it's not getting more attention. It's heavy on a Friday. They shut down the YouTube of child porn yesterday.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah, saw that.
Katie Green
Biggest video network in the world of child porn. Then you hear some of the stats around here, you'll be astounded. Oh, glad they caught them. But that and some other stuff that's much less heavy, which. Everything's less heavy than that, I think. Every single topic.
Joe Getty
Oh, and I'm sorry. The famous Kikkoman soy sauce is made in Folsom, California.
Katie Green
I didn't know that.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Katie Green
That's the most famous soy saucer in America, isn't it?
Joe Getty
Imposed a tariff on California.
Michaelangelo
Really?
Katie Green
They make that in Folsom?
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Katie Green
So we got people listening right now who's their whole lives. They go in every day and they put those little red caps on the bottle or whatever you do.
Joe Getty
I love Kikoman soy sauce. Give me the low sodium, if you have it. Fine. Soy sauce and made here in America.
Katie Green
Well, like we said before, how many bottles of soy sauce do you go through in your life?
Joe Getty
Not many.
Katie Green
The one I got is from the 90s, maybe. I don't know.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Katie Green
It lasts a long time. It's my point.
Joe Getty
Be good to yourself. Swap it out.
Katie Green
Okay. More on the way. Stay here.

Katie Green
A first time mom at 97 years.
Michaelangelo
Old and her babies. Four critically endangered Western Santa Cruz Galapagos.
Katie Green
Tortoise hatchlings have just hatched. Less than 50 are known to exist in America.
Michaelangelo
The zoo telling us they are proud.
Katie Green
To protect the endangered population and proud.
Joe Getty
Of that new mom.
Michaelangelo
And they say remarkably she is a.
Joe Getty
First time mother at 97 years old.
Katie Green
Now the oldest known first time mother ever of her species.
Joe Getty
9 Irresponsible. The tortoise is going to grow up without a mother. 97 years old, it's too old.
Katie Green
Yet the life experience you bring as an older parent at 97, that's a good point. So that tortoise, when was Darwin there? Mid-1800s, I think. So tortoise not old enough for that. But that tortoise's dad or mom certainly could have been there.
Joe Getty
Tortoise senior. Yes.
Katie Green
When Darwin was there.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Think about it.
Katie Green
This is a gruesome story but I definitely think worth getting on the air partially because I know on the right there's a lot of belief that there is a horrible pedophile network in the United States run out of Mexico through the cartels. Some of you believe with the help of the Democrats and that for some reason Epstein's involved and there's a cover up and all this sort of, sort of stuff. And I tend, I know child exploitation exists and child porn exists, I'm aware of that. But the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of cases in the last couple years, I just, I find that hard to believe. But then this story yesterday, hopefully you've never heard of kid flicks. Basically the YouTube of child porn which got shut down. German investigators said Wednesday they had dismantled a major platform for the distribution of child sexual abuse Images that had 1.8 million users worldwide. That's brutal, man.
Joe Getty
That gets back to the. There is no idea so crazy or abhorrent that you can't find people online who say you're absolutely right, let's band together.
Katie Green
Well, if you got one of these weirdos in every town in the world, that adds up to a lot of people, right? The move to shut down the kid flick streaming service was one of the biggest blows against child pornography ever, said the head of the Bavarian criminal police. I mean worldwide, ever. The investigation was led by German police, supported by authorities in 38 countries including Australia, Canada and the United States that were involved in this. Kid Flicks is said to have hosted more than 91,000 videos with images of child sexual abuse. Because anything with child sex is Abuse, all of it? By definition, yeah. Totaling around 6,300 hours of video that you could check out.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Katie Green
They identified almost 1400 individual users of the platform. You should be getting a knock on your door at some point.
Joe Getty
Out of the millions. Yeah, maybe that's ongoing.
Katie Green
It was on the dark web, which is hard to police.
Joe Getty
Well, and then I was, I read some account of it where they were talking about how many new videos were uploaded every day.
Katie Green
Yeah, I got that.
Joe Getty
Oh, okay.
Katie Green
Yeah. So they carried out the searches in 31 countries. The largest operation of this kind that's ever happened anywhere in the world.
Joe Getty
Okay.
Katie Green
They seized a hard drive with around 72,000 videos on it. 96 locations, 103 individual suspects, just in Germany. And they arrested this 36 year old man who spends the rest of his life in jail. Uh, Kid Flicks was created in 2021 by a cyber criminal who made a huge profit from it. And it quickly became the most popular platform among pedophiles in the world. The YouTube of child porn. 3.5 new videos were being uploaded to the site per hour. Per hour before it was taken down. Oh, it was pretty awful.
Joe Getty
Monsters abusing children to upload the newest, hottest stuff. Good lord.
Katie Green
Oh, and I didn't, I didn't. Yeah. How far do you want to go with this story? But this 36 year old man in eastern Germany that they busted, who was like one of the main guys there, anyway, he had been offering up his own young son for videos. I mean, the guy is just. Is deranged. His brain is psychopath. Fine. Maybe not his fault. Maybe he was born that way. Lock him up for freaking ever. You can't let somebody like that out ever again. And we need to have the penalty so harsh that if you have that brain weirdness, you're too scared to try. You got to use your imagination or whatever. Yeah, but you can't. You can't be involved because the penalty is too great.
Joe Getty
You suppress it somehow any way you can find. The one thing that person cannot do is what they were doing.
Katie Green
I never quite understood it because all kinds of people suppress normal sexual urges when they have to for long periods of time.
Joe Getty
I think the availability reinforces the desire. Yeah, yeah. It's just so sick. Well, good job law enforcement in all those different countries. Go get them.
Katie Green
Freaking Internet man.
Joe Getty
I'm telling you, that's the problem.
Katie Green
You can bring together all of the.
Joe Getty
Most awful people in ideas that would wither and die because you never got any reinforcement that you were right or that is a good idea or that is hot or whatever. You would go through your life with no reinforcement and you'd think, I gotta drop that one.
Katie Green
Oh, yeah. In world history, you were the one weirdo in your town who had these thoughts and you had to keep it to yourself because there was nobody that agreed with you.
Joe Getty
So the Internet is the fertilizer for hate and perversity around the world. Great.
Katie Green
Okay, we'll move away from the worst thing you can possibly imagine for the rest of the show.

Finally, the sandwich chain Subway today began offering Doritos foot long Nachos. So to answer your question, yeah, weed.
Michaelangelo
Is way stronger than it used to be.
Katie Green
Wow. Subway Foot long Cheese Nachos. So we go to the Subway fairly regularly, but they got the foot long chocolate chip cookie you can get, which we've never gotten. The foot long churro, which we have gotten and is delicious.
Joe Getty
Churro. I'm powerless against churros. Almost got one at the ball game the other day.
Katie Green
They got a foot long pretzel that's real good too, if we split it among the three of us. But one more joke we want to get on so we don't run out of time for all our jokes. Florida couple were busted having sex on a grave in a locked cemetery.
Joe Getty
Or as they call it in Florida, the honeymoon.
Katie Green
Yeah, that's an interesting inclination. You're probably some sort of emo person or something.
Joe Getty
Satanic cultist weirdo. All right, one more attempt at humor. And Michael, I will cue you for the little production element we just discussed. This is perhaps the king of all dad jokes. You have found that term demeaning. I just think it means clean and silly. But I will require your cooperation, Jack, in this joke.
Katie Green
Okay?
Joe Getty
Knock, knock.
Katie Green
Who is there?
Joe Getty
Hike. Hike.
Katie Green
Who?
Joe Getty
Unsuspecting son. Dad waiting with bated breath sets the perfect trap.
Katie Green
That's pretty good.
Joe Getty
Hi, Ken. Who? You get it?
Katie Green
And then one more attempted humor from my own phone from somebody who's not having a good day, who texted, I want to move to a land where I don't speak the language and hand out melons on the beach.
Joe Getty
That is really funny.
Katie Green
We've all had that feeling.
Joe Getty
Yes, yes, yes. A little bonus mailbag for you here. You can drop us a line if you want. Mailbagarmstrong getty.com you got to get the website right, Joseph. Mailbagarmstrongandgetti.com Ann writes, why Democrats go to the 20 side of 80, 20 issues. I think we're talking specifically about California Democrats and the boys and girls sports madness. That not even 20% of American sports.
Katie Green
That'S the same nationally with a bunch of different things that they're on the wrong side of. Why are you doubling down on something that you're clearly lost on, like booting illegals out of the country? Right.
Joe Getty
So Anne writes, I understood the power of political imagery and symbolism as a young child in the 80s. I remember when Jesse Jackson was running in the Democratic primary. And to me, the most powerful asset his campaign had was a black and white picture of a young Jesse arm in arm with civil rights leaders, including MLK, marching in the south in the 60s. No doubt it was extremely powerful proof of commitment to a righteous cause at a time when that cause was controversial and when being on the wrong side could put you in danger not of having your Columbia scholarship yanked, but being killed. It's true. I view progressive behavior as this generation's attempt to get their civil rights march photo to canonize their moral superiority, per Ezra Klein's idea that we should give power to the most morally superior and superficially selfless of us. They're stuck in this cycle, going back to black civil rights and passing through gay marriage and other important breakthroughs. Their hope is that in 10 years, transgenderism is more popular than today, that men slamming volleyballs into women's faces will be thought of like black folks who are intimidated. Intimidated away from polling places. Yeah, that's a hell of a stretch. But what scares me is that I know now this appetite is insatiable. If we declared every civil right for the transgender community they've requested, they would simply look to the next group to victimify, to be saved by another group of progressives that could be pedophiles. Oh, there. No, it's not pedophiles. It's. What is the. There's a term, a cleaned out term that they use now on the far progressive left about minor. Minor attracted individuals.
Katie Green
Right.
Joe Getty
Yeah. So, yeah, sure enough. And they've already begun with pedophiles, maybe asexuals, I don't know. But they will find the next group to lift up and save with the moral superiority as if they were ending segregation. It feels too good and is too politically powerful. Well, and as James Lindsay would point out, that if you are on the wrong side of that, they shame you and cancel you and take your power away from you and appropriate it to themselves with these fake moral arguments. Thought this was good. Talking about the question of Free will and how your Ezra Kleins and your progressives believe you just got lucky, you didn't make your success. You were just born in a place and had these genetic gifts and parents or whatever. And so we need to equalize everything.
Katie Green
Yeah. And the more important part is because that's a fine belief. Then you go to the. And the government's role is to deal with those unfair situations and try to level them out. Okay, how are you going to do that?
Joe Getty
Yeah, and we read one note earlier that was great from Turlock Holmes. I'll skip to the second half. This is the gospel, the new gospel, that the individual is powerless, personal achievement is a mirage, and redemption lies not in effort, but in obedience to the system. They've merely swept God for the system, for privilege and grace, for ideological compliance. It's original sin in woke clothing. When you're born guilty, you can't redeem yourself and must submit to the new priesthood. Let's see. And then this from Paolo. You guys are talking about how some people suggest there's no free will. We just do what we do. And the idea that we actually choose anything or have any ability to influence our outcomes in life is just an illusion. We can't actually prove or disprove that idea. But it's easy to see how believing it and acting accordingly is foolish. If we really have no free will and no ability to influence our lives and our outcomes, then it doesn't really matter what we believe or what we do. Whatever we will be will be, no matter what choices we think we're making. That's another way of saying that we have nothing to lose by believing in free will, and we have a lot to lose by not believing in it. In fact, the belief that we have no real agency robs us of whatever agency we have.
Katie Green
Wow, man.
Joe Getty
We should view anyone who tries. Here's the key part. This is your takeaway. We should view anyone who tries to convince us of our lack of agency and free will as a person trying to appropriate it for their own purposes. We should assume that they have every belief in their own agency and free will, and we should not trust them to use it in our best interests.
Katie Green
Well, does Ezra Klein, for instance, does he believe that he got to where he is one of the most important journalists in America, certainly for the left. Anyway, does he really think he got to where he is surely through like, luck? Surely somewhere in his mind he thinks, yeah, I did that. You know, I worked my ass off. I did this. I made that choice. I turned down this job, but took that one.
Joe Getty
I think if you fed them sodium pentothal or put him on the rack or something, he might shriek. Finally, you're right. I believe that about everybody but me. I think I did it and I deserve the credit. But everybody else, it was just luck. Therefore, we need equity. And no, I'm not writing checks to the government from my princely salaries. Even though I say that everybody should pay higher taxes. Please shut up.
Katie Green
Unfair.
Joe Getty
One final note from the world of mailbag on the topic of the culture of instant gratification. We were talking about that and how it exists today and how it's allowed to exist today and the nexus between instant gratification and cheap crappy stuff from China. Got this from K. I think large international corporations started outsourcing before the culture of instant gratification really took hold. In fact, I think the outsourcing is partly to blame. They saw an opportunity to make products incredibly cheaply and the Chinese companies saw a market for their cheap garbage. In many cases, the Chinese government subsidized production to lower the cost and intentionally undermined the market for higher quality American made goods. We used to own one or two pairs of really nice jeans, one pair of good shoes because that's all we could afford. But they were high quality and lasted longer. The chai comes and their monthly national corporations flooded the market with cheaply made crap. We bought it not realizing it was cheap garbage. We just like the price. By the time we realized we were being duped, all the high quality products for a little more had been replaced by junk. Now we can buy whatever we want for cheap, throw it away and buy another one in six months, which gives you that shot of endorphins that, you know, retail therapy. We didn't ask for this change. It was foisted upon us. Again, this was an intentional strategy by the shy coms China. That's right, sir. We talk about free trade and that's great. But if we're the only ones engaging in free trade and everyone else is taking advantage of us, maybe we need to fight back and try to coerce the rest of the world to engage in the same kind of free trade that we engage in. Yeah, I'm in favor of that. If there's actual predatory trade, sure.
Katie Green
I don't feel like there's any reason, you know, I'm not a control the economy guy. Free market choices give people what they want sort of thing. But I feel like there's no reason there should be a $35 toaster that's actually worth $4 that exists on Earth. I don't even know why. It shouldn't be made, it shouldn't be bought, shouldn't exist.
Joe Getty
I'm traveling in a foreign country and I need a toaster for four days. Yeah, that's about the only justification. All right, one more dad joke. Frank, your cub reporter in San Diego. Our cub reporter says this is just in for Jack. Stock market reporting is worthwhile. Helium was up. Feathers were down. Paper was stationary.
Katie Green
I love jokes like that.
Joe Getty
Oh, there's more. So much more. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent tubing was dimmed and light trading knives rupp sharply. Cows steered into a bull market, yet pencils lost a few points. Hiking equipment was trailing. Elevators rose while escalators continued their slow decline. Oh, that is good. You know what? Just, Michael, you tell me when it's gotten old and we need to stop.
Katie Green
It hasn't yet.
Joe Getty
Keep on going. Weights were up in heavy trading. Light switches were off. Mining equipment hit rock bottom. Diapers remained unchanged. Oh, let's see. Caterpillar stock inched up a bit. Sun peaked at midday, yet balloon prices remain inflated and. Oh, my God. Scott. Tissue touched a new bottom. Oh, boy. All right, that's enough.
Katie Green
Whoever and his friends who sat around coming up with those one afternoon laughed their heads off.
Joe Getty
Yes, they did.
Katie Green
The best one is, escalators continue their slow decline. We will finish strong.
Joe Getty
Next, Armstrong and Getty.

Katie Green
News as directed I like the sentiment so much. I want to move to a land where I don't speak the language and hand out melons on the beach. Just something about that. I mean, that's a great I'm done.
Joe Getty
Just smile pleasantly at people and hand them a melon.
Katie Green
I don't expect anything return. So I've always well, first of all, this Russell Brand came on the scene as a comedian and I've never heard him say a single thing that I thought was the slightest funny.
Joe Getty
So.
Katie Green
But you know, to each their own. Different people like different comedians. But I've never thought he was funny at all. He's in some TV shows, then he married Katy Perry for a cup of coffee. And then he maybe I'm wrong on this, but in my mind the order is he there starts to be burbling all kinds of MeToo problems. Then he becomes super religious and becomes a Fox News favorite. Maybe I have the order wrong on that. I feel like his is.
Joe Getty
You're implying there's causation might merely be correlation or vice Versa.
Katie Green
Or you could live a not so great life and then decide, you know what, I was on the wrong path and become religious. That's like the history of every saint practically.
Joe Getty
Yes.
Katie Green
So nothing wrong with that. I'm not. Whether or not he's disingenuous or not. Anyway, came out today, the British police have charged Russell Brand with rape and sexual assault over a period of many years. And he, he was on Hannity like two nights ago for a really long interview. Yeah. This is Russell Brand's first response to that.
Jack Armstrong
I've always told you guys that when.
Joe Getty
I was young and single, before I had my wife and family, we're just that shot over there, my beautiful children, I was a full man. I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex.
Jack Armstrong
Addict and an imbecile.
Joe Getty
But what I never was was a rapist. I've never engaged in non consensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes. And of course I'm now gonna have the opportunity to defend these charges in court and I'm incredibly grateful for that. In the meantime, you lot stay free and we will be continuing to discuss this matter.
Katie Green
I mean, to be completely fair. I mean, you got to be fair in that. Okay, so he apparently slept around a lot by his own admission. And so you got a lot of women out there, I don't know if it's dozens or a hundred, who now know he's really rich with deep pockets and he probably barely remembers that night anyway.
Joe Getty
Although this is a criminal charge as opposed to a civil action, they might go hand in hand.
Katie Green
True that also. Yeah, as we've seen with some of the Trump stuff, starts with one thing that doesn't work, then it becomes of this.
Joe Getty
Right, right. I wanted to get to the fact that Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right wingy party in France has been charged, found guilty and barred from, from holding office for five years. Probably there's an appeal thing going on, but it sounds very, very Trumpian.
Katie Green
Currently leading in the polls.
Joe Getty
Right.
Katie Green
For the next presidential election in France and she's been barred from politics because she was found guilty of embezzlement, which she claims she didn't do. Now maybe she did, but also maybe she didn't.
Joe Getty
It's a little fudgy. You know, I don't like to leap to conclusions if I don't have all the facts. But it had to do with the money was supposed to be for aides who did a she was accused of having them do B, and she just said, well, no, they didn't do A all the time. They didn't have to. So they did some B and they said, no, that's embezzling. So you're barred from politics. It just has a Trumpy feel. Very much a persecution of Trump.
Katie Green
Very much so. And it's a classic thing you do in, you know, not good politics is to jail the person you're most afraid of or ban them from politics somehow. She's a right winger, by the way, politician in France, who really, really her issue is this. Immigration has got to stop.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Katie Green
And she's the subject of the book submission which we've recommended many, many times, which the whole fiction novel portrays her finally winning and then the turn on the other side from the Muslim population and the politics and everything like that.
Joe Getty
That's right.
Katie Green
But it starts with her winning the presidency.
Joe Getty
I need to reread that.
Katie Green
At the time when I read the book, I thought, well, that'll never happen. Well, it was gonna happen, I think.
Joe Getty
And it could happen in the future.
Katie Green
She's leading the polls.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Getting back to the Russell brand thing, you know, the whole admitting I'm half a dozen kinds of bad or have been, but not this bad is a very convincing argument. People do it all the time because it makes them look sincere. Just gotta look at the facts. I have no idea.
Katie Green
Oh, yeah, it's tough. But you can be all kinds of a male slut, but not a rapist, Right?
Joe Getty
Right.
Katie Green
Hey, kids, it's that time again.
Joe Getty
Final Back with Armstrong and Getty.
Katie Green
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Joe Getty
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. Wouldn't that be exciting? First, our technical director, Michelangelo. Michael. Michael. Now, I know you guys are all about being financially responsible, so I'm gonna put this out for you guys. I know you both had mentioned a 98 inch TV. Wouldn't it be smart for you to get it this weekend before the tariffs kicked in?
Katie Green
That's just being. I think Dave Ramsey would say the same thing. That's just being good with your money.
Joe Getty
And about a gallon of soy sauce. Our esteemed newswoman, Katie Green has a final thought. Katie. Thanks a lot for that, Michael.
Katie Green
Every time we bring up the 98 inch TV, my husband goes, nice nuts. So it looks like we're gonna go to Costco and get it. It's cool. It's cool.
Joe Getty
Do it, Drew. Do it, Jack. A final thought.
Katie Green
Man, we Got one PC in the house. I'm an Apple guy for my son to play video games on. Having all kinds of problems. Laggy viruses, bugs. Spent two hours on the phone with the geek squad yesterday. Nothing got fixed going in today. I hate stuff like that. That's like my least favorite thing to do in life.
Joe Getty
Oh, I know it. But my final thought is the whole tariffs thing. I usually feel like I can make half a prediction of how something is going to shake out. I kind of have today. I think there's going to be a real rewind, a claim of victory here, there and there and then back to something like normal. I kind of hope that's the case. Right. But my degree of certainty is low.
Katie Green
As opposed to really putting this to the test over six months or a year or longer.
Joe Getty
Woof.
Katie Green
Can't imagine that. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Joe Getty
So many people who thanks so little time. Go to armstrongandgetty.com Many pleasures await you there the hot links. You can drop us a note if there's something we ought to be talking about.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand: How Many Bottles Of Soy Sauce Will You Go Through In Your Life?
Release Date: April 4, 2025
Hosts: Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty
Produced by: iHeartPodcasts
The episode kicks off with a sobering analysis of the current state of the U.S. financial markets. Hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty delve into significant downturns affecting major indices.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: Experienced a sharp decline, dropping approximately 1,400 points on the day following a substantial previous drop. Joe Getty emphasizes the severity, stating, “The Dow is down almost 1500 just today from last night's big drop” ([02:52]).
S&P 500: Saw a nearly 4% decrease, prompting concerns about a potential market correction. Getty clarifies the importance of percentages over raw numbers: “I'm a big fan of percentages just because the Dow Jones Industrial average is worth $40,000 and the S&P 500 is 5,000. So you have to do a bunch of math in your head to understand” ([03:20]).
Nasdaq: Also not spared, with a decline of about 650 points. Katie Green adds, “I'm a big fan of percentages... The S and P, which is really to me the one to look at is down just under 4% on the day after” ([03:42]).
The hosts discuss the implications of these drops, debating whether they signify a temporary setback or the onset of a prolonged downturn. Getty mentions, “Correction territory down 10%” ([04:18]), highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the market's trajectory.
Transitioning into their signature segment, "Cow Clips of the Week," Armstrong and Getty employ humor and satire to critique current political and social issues.
U.S.-China Trade Relations: The hosts mock the fraught relationship, with Getty proclaiming, “Do something about this US China trade relationship. That is a job loser for the United States” ([05:46]). Katie Green echoes the sentiment, stating, “China announced 34% additional tariffs today on the United States. Trump has tweeted out that China has played this wrong. They panicked” ([08:21]).
Immigration and Political Persecution: The discussion turns to international politics, referencing Marine Le Pen's legal troubles in France. Getty draws parallels to American politics, noting, “She's been barred from politics because she was found guilty of embezzlement, which she claims she didn't do. Now maybe she did, but also maybe she didn't” ([44:11]).
Satirical Jokes and Skits: The segment is peppered with humorous exchanges, including mock news reports and exaggerated scenarios, such as sarcastically highlighting the absurdity of applying tariffs to uninhabited islands: “They slapped a 47% tariff on Madagascar, which is a lot of penguins” ([11:30]).
A significant portion of the episode addresses the impact of trade policies, particularly tariffs, on American industries and consumers.
Soy Sauce Production and Tariffs: The hosts explore the irony of imposing tariffs on domestic products like soy sauce. Katie Green remarks, “The number one soy sauce in America is produced, like, in Ohio, somewhere in the Midwest” ([12:11]). This leads to a broader critique of protectionist measures harming American-made goods.
Consumer Impact: Discussions highlight how tariffs on low-quality imports have led to a culture of instant gratification with disposable products. Getty cynically observes, “There's no reason there should be a $35 toaster that's actually worth $4 that exists on Earth” ([35:48]).
Economic Outsourcing: The conversation touches on the outsourcing trend, attributing part of the decline in product quality to international corporations seeking cheaper production costs. Green states, “The Chinese government subsidized production to lower the cost and intentionally undermined the market for higher quality American made goods” ([34:13]).
One of the most intense discussions revolves around the global crackdown on a major child pornography platform, referred to as "Kid Flicks."
Operation Overview: Katie Green provides a detailed account of the operation led by German authorities, stating, “German investigators had dismantled a major platform for the distribution of child sexual abuse images that had 1.8 million users worldwide” ([19:22]).
Scope and Impact: The shutdown is described as the largest of its kind, involving 38 countries and resulting in the arrest of 103 individuals in Germany alone. Green elaborates, “They seized a hard drive with around 72,000 videos on it. 96 locations, 103 individual suspects” ([20:15]).
Moral and Legal Implications: Both hosts condemn the heinous crimes, with Joe Getty emphasizing the need for stringent penalties: “You can't let somebody like that out ever again” ([22:44]). They discuss the psychological aspects, noting how the internet facilitates the reinforcement of deviant behaviors: “The Internet is the fertilizer for hate and perversity around the world” ([23:17]).
The hosts delve into philosophical debates surrounding free will and the influence of progressive ideologies on society.
Free Will Debate: Drawing from listener mailbag contributions, Katie Green and Joe Getty discuss the notion that free will may be an illusion. They argue against the idea, with Getty asserting, “It doesn't really matter what we believe or what we do. Whatever we will be will be” ([31:43]), and countering with the importance of maintaining belief in personal agency ([32:55]).
Critique of Progressive Movements: The conversation extends to a critique of modern progressive agendas, with accusations of moral superiority and the normalization of radical social changes. Getty criticizes figures like Ezra Klein, suggesting that their success is misattributed: “If you really have no free will... Then it's foolish” ([33:18]).
Mailbag Insights: A caller named Anne expresses concerns about the direction of progressive politics, fearing an endless cycle of privilege and compliance: “Their hope is that in 10 years, transgenderism is more popular than today” ([30:46]).
The episode covers recent legal challenges faced by prominent political figures, drawing parallels to U.S. politics.
Russell Brand's Charges: The hosts discuss accusations against comedian and actor Russell Brand, who has been charged with rape and sexual assault. Green summarizes the case: “British police have charged Russell Brand with rape and sexual assault over a period of many years” ([41:31]). Getty critiques Brand's public defense, highlighting inconsistencies in his statements.
Marine Le Pen's Legal Issues: Joe Getty discusses the French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen being barred from holding office for five years due to embezzlement charges. He notes the similarities to political persecution in the U.S.: “It just has a Trumpy feel. Very much a persecution of Trump” ([44:50]).
As the episode concludes, Armstrong and Getty share their final perspectives on the discussed topics.
Market Predictions: Joe Getty expresses cautious optimism about the financial markets, hoping for stabilization despite current volatility: “I think there's going to be a real rewind, a claim of victory here, there and there and then back to something like normal” ([47:05]).
Personal Anecdotes: The hosts share light-hearted personal stories, such as Katie Green's frustrations with technology and Joe Getty's humorous take on household dynamics, maintaining an engaging and relatable tone ([46:26]).
Closing Remarks: The episode ends with a blend of humor and camaraderie, reinforcing the hosts’ rapport and inviting listeners to stay connected for future discussions ([48:14]).
Notable Quotes:
Joe Getty on Market Correction: “Correction territory down 10%” ([04:18]).
Katie Green on Tariffs: “China announced 34% additional tariffs today on the United States. Trump has tweeted out that China has played this wrong. They panicked” ([08:21]).
Katie Green on Sherman’s Shutdown of Kid Flicks: “The move to shut down the kid flick streaming service was one of the biggest blows against child pornography ever, said the head of the Bavarian criminal police” ([20:26]).
Joe Getty on Free Will: “We should view anyone who tries to convince us of our lack of agency and free will as a person trying to appropriate it for their own purposes” ([32:55]).
Katie Green on Russell Brand: “Russell Brand's first response to that... 'I was young and single, before I had my wife and family, I was a full man. I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile'" ([42:38]).
