Joe Getty
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and get.
Jack Armstrong
Live from Studio C C. It is a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And today on Little Friday we're toiling under the title of the show I'm
Joe Getty
Stupid, He's a Jealous Fool. We're Armstrong and Getty. Reference to the fact that the President announced anybody who's against this fabulous deal with Iran is stupid or jealous or a fool or that sort of thing.
Jack Armstrong
Oh really?
Joe Getty
I didn't want that to come. Alternate title Unclogging a running wood Chipper or Socialism. Tough to pick a favorite and yet people keep voting for it. There's Democratic socialist Momdani style. Gal is about to Win in Washington D.C. it looks like.
Jack Armstrong
When does the United States play soccer again? Soccer fever.
Joe Getty
Tomorrow as we speak these words in beautiful, sunny, junky, choked Seattle and we
Jack Armstrong
take on Australia
Joe Getty
of Australia, the Men Down Under. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Exciting.
Joe Getty
One of our most important allies in the Pacific, of course, the Aussies. Solid Navy. Solid folks. A little woke for my tastes, but I love Australia.
Jack Armstrong
And then it is confirmed and supposedly just accidentally we play Great Britain England on the 4th of July. Which is kind of hilarious.
Joe Getty
It is. It's absolutely fantastic. And we'll probably play soccer. Or do we shoot them with muskets? I'm just, I'm just asking questions.
Jack Armstrong
Right. We jump out behind from trees and shoot them with muskets as they're all lined up.
Joe Getty
I happen to be checking the newss. Yesterday in the afternoon hours when I was alerted there was a barn burner of a game going on between Great Britain or England. We call them England, England and Croatia. And so I, I watched that game the last 20 minutes or so. England looked very capable.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, they're the second ranked team in the world.
Georgia Hardstark
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
Ain't the greatest that will probably get trounced on the 4th of July. But you know, you'll be drunk and you'll be six hot dogs in.
Joe Getty
Hey, either way I look at it is we, we'll be one and one. Actually two and one. We beat him in 1812. Not by much. We'll be still be two and one. It's tough to beat a team three times in a row, Jack. I've heard that many times.
Jack Armstrong
Do you know anybody who's saying anything good about the agreement with Iran that
Joe Getty
seems to be out other than J.D. vance or the president? Not really, no. Glenn Beck, There was one senator who tried on the news last night.
Jack Armstrong
Glenn Beck was talking about how this is America first. And that's what he ran on in that we're not going to, we're not going to dedicate ourselves to a real war in the Middle east and get, you know, fully involved with troops and everything like that. That, that is America first. Okay. You know, you can make that argument. Doesn't still doesn't mean it's a good idea or that the goals of keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon have been reached.
Joe Getty
There's a good piece of the Wall
Jack Armstrong
Street Washington Post today guy who is in the Defense Department in the Bush administration running through a bunch of examples over the years going way, way, way back to the olden times with other presidents, all the way back to World War II. Really on how these agreements between democracies, democracies and autocracies about if you promise to do this, we'll do this for you, they break the promise. And then as a democracy, because as a political party or a politician, you're so invested and it was a good deal, you don't call them on it when they break the deal. And that has been done over and over, including with Ronald Reagan in the Soviet Union. You made a deal. You, you want to be seen as a good deal maker rather than look like a chump.
Joe Getty
Well, and you probably claimed up and down as the president, this is a solid deal. No, this has safeguards in place that make sure they'll comply. Right.
Jack Armstrong
I didn't even know this story of 1982 or something like that. We had a deal we'd made with the Soviet Union. Actually Nixon made the deal. But it was under the Reagan administration that we found out that Russia, the Soviet Union was violating the deal. We had clear Soviet satellite pictures that they were building some sort of missile site or something like that someplace where
Joe Getty
not allowed to do it.
Jack Armstrong
And we didn't call them on it because it just would have caused so
Joe Getty
much trouble to call, call them on
Jack Armstrong
the breaking the deal. I, I see that a hundred percent repeating here. Iran is going to violate the deal in a combination of. Well, it makes you look Like a bad deal maker. If the other side breaks the deal when you, you know, swarping down like you just said that they, you'd hold them to it and then two, it's such a mess to enforce it. I mean getting back to the. We constantly use the parent analogy. Sometimes when you make a threat, I don't know if threat's the right word with a kid. An agreement mou I, I issue my kids understanding usually verbally.
Joe Getty
Sign here and here, initial here. Thank you.
Jack Armstrong
If you don't do this or do you do this, this is what is going to be the consequence. Sometimes the consequence is a pain in the ass to enforce. I don't want to enforce. This is gonna, this makes my life harder.
Joe Getty
But you have to enforce it or,
Jack Armstrong
you know, no future agreements any good.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack Armstrong
But that's what it'll be. It'll be so Trump will be in the situation of they're dragging their feet. This is what everybody expects. They're not gonna, nothing's gonna happen in 60 days and they, they quibble about this and that and they drag it out. You're not gonna go back to war. He can talk all he wants about dropping bombs on their head, but we're
Joe Getty
not gonna go back to war. Right. Right. Yeah. I'm having trouble finding any analyst who says anything other than yeah, we gave in and Iran is emboldened and is going to get what they want. And their nuclear program has absolutely been set back a significant amount of time and that is an accomplished accomplishment worth saluting. Difficult to say how long and for how long it will be set back. Which are two questions. But let's not get lost in the weeds. But to what extent will we turbocharge their, their aims going forward? It's obviously the question I would like to and I haven't heard Glenn's argument. It sounds to me like he's just trying to hang on to his staunchly pro Trump audience, which I get. I mean the crackdown on fraud and unemployment programs and Medicare and stuff. This stuff is gold. It is this 24 karat gold that the Trump administration is doing right now. It's wonder no desire to undermine the good things they're doing. But if Glenn or whomever doesn't answer the argument. Every president has said Iran can't get a nuke and we would do what it took to deny them that. Either that's true and we need to keep doing that or you're right that pulling back is we're not gonna get involved in a long war in The Middle East. Wait, you just. You left my argument behind in the d. Haven't addressed it yet. Do we need to deny Iran a nuke? If the answer is yes, then if your argument doesn't address that, you haven't made an argument. You've just kind of snow jobbed me.
Jack Armstrong
If Iran does announce in a couple of years they have a nuclear weapon, history will lay that at the feet of Donald Trump, even though no other president was willing to do anything about it either. True, but that's just the way it's going to look.
Joe Getty
I think it should be laid at many feet.
Jack Armstrong
I think it's gonna turbocharge their efforts. Why wouldn't they? Now that they've got the. The knowledge and the world has the knowledge that the Strait of Hormuz is a.
Joe Getty
Is a powerful tool. Mm. Yeah, they're emboldened in several different ways.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's rough.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Georgia Hardstark
Yeah.
Joe Getty
These are odd times.
Jack Armstrong
I'm gonna read more from that op Ed piece. I thought it was really, really interesting. I thought about that just in my own life on the way. You need to realize that if you. If you make some sort of agreement of any kind, whether it's parenting or whatever the hell it is, do you really have the balls to follow through on your threat?
Joe Getty
Because sometimes the threat is difficult. Are you praying for compliance or are you actually demanding compliance?
Jack Armstrong
Are you gonna, you know, just thinking of something. Are you gonna pay the money to get a lawyer and go through the mess of all the things you said you would do if they don't comply? Are you actually gonna do that? Because if you're not, you probably shouldn't threaten.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And on a similar topic, briefly, there's an old saying by some French thinker, I can't remember who, that the heaviest weight in the world is the body. Napoleon. That was it. The heaviest weight in the world is the body of a woman you no longer love. And.
Jack Armstrong
Jeez, that's a sound.
Joe Getty
Oh, I should say that every morning to start the show. Okay, sure.
Jack Armstrong
Thanks, Joe.
Joe Getty
And a reminder, we'll all die someday. No, but Trump is To the Republicans in the Senate now, a lot of them. That woman. There is an open feud going on right now in the Senate. Open. Insubordination is the wrong word because the Senate is a branch of government that's actually above the executive in the Constitution. It's just being eclipsed by the Iran deal right now. But, oh, man, there. There. There is real tension there.
Jack Armstrong
Lots to talk about today. Let's start the show officially real quick. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, June 18th, the year 2026. We are Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.
Joe Getty
Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go at.
Heather Myers
Mark, it's inspiring to see all your fresh minds ready to take on the world.
Joe Getty
Sadly, due to the construction of data centers in the impending water wars, the most useful college majors now are foraging in hand to hand combat.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, probably would have helped to know what that was. Rachel Dretch from Saturday Night Live bringing back her bit from the 90s. Debbie Downer. Of course, the only majors that are worth anything now are foraging in hand to head combat.
Joe Getty
That is really funny. She was speaking at the Dartmouth graduation ceremonies. We'll have to play more of that later. That is funny.
Jack Armstrong
Leukemia. That's the one that cracked up Jimmy Fallon. If you've ever seen that YouTube where
Joe Getty
you couldn't keep it together.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's.
Joe Getty
She's killing it on Broadway right now.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, good for her.
Joe Getty
Good for her. Her, huh? Yeah.
Georgia Hardstark
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong

Joe Getty

Jack Armstrong
Okay, we got that. Next. Stay here.

We'll talk about lots of other things, but taking in more information on this, how this war is coming to a close. It is a disaster, I think.
Joe Getty
Like.
Jack Armstrong
Like a disaster.
Joe Getty
Okay. All right.
Jack Armstrong
We will discuss.
Joe Getty
Well, at least it's a humiliating disaster. That's part of the disaster of our own making. Yes, Yes. I love Scotch whiskey. I've made that clear. But I tell you what the Scots love more than whiskey.
Jack Armstrong
Beer.
Joe Getty
Holy. They are drinking the city of Boston dry for the World cup games. It's several. Sam Adams ran out of beer at its. Its giant tap room. They ran out of their Boston lager. They had to do an emergency resupply because the Scots are in town for their stirring 10 victory over Haiti. They're talking about the Scotsman doing a victory lap around the city. Dudes, you beat Haiti by one goal.
Jack Armstrong
My niece who lives in Boston, there are guys in kilts everywhere.
Jacob Goldstein
Yes.
Joe Getty
Yes. Yeah, they are everywhere. And they're drinking the town dry. Anyway, more on that to come. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather, Joe.
Heather Myers
Jack, good morning. We have a lot of news to cover, so let's start with the headlines regarding the Iran US Agreement. NBC News says Trump and Iran's president's sign initial deal to end war open straight up removes and ease sanctions. ABC News telling the story like this. Trump lashes out at stupid critics of Iran deal. And Reuters, Trump thanks China Xi and Russia's Putin for being neutral in Iran war.
Jack Armstrong
So I've clearly lost my $10. The agreement has already been signed.
Joe Getty
Yes. Not even Friday lobsters tonight.
Jack Armstrong
Honey, I would have rather. I don't mind. I don't mind signing a good deal.
Joe Getty
That.
Jack Armstrong
Glad to give up $10 for signing a deal. That's a Good thing for the United States pretty unhappy to give up $10 for signing this deal. Trump said on the plane last night, oh, there's a good chance it's going to go beyond the 60 days, the negotiating, the nuclear stuff. So they'll get their money and the negotiating will just drag on as they continue to try to get a nuclear weapon. That's, that's clearly what's going to happen here.
Joe Getty
And the solution will always be one step away if the US Just does this. Oh, yeah, they're masters. They played them.
Heather Myers
Our headlines on the same story, the New York Times says Israel stunned by Trump's Iran deal. Newsmax says Pope praises agreement between US and Iran. And then CNN says average gas price dips below $4 a gallon for the first time in months.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I would think Bibi's got a serious reason to, to want to go back to fighting with Hezbollah to try to blow up this deal. No matter what kind of harm it does with his relationship with Trump, I would think he'd want to have this deal get blown up.
Joe Getty
Wow, wow, wow. Blowing up the relationship with the US could be extremely inconvenient for Israel.
Heather Myers
From the USA Today, attorneys for Luigi Mangione plan to argue he was suffering from extreme same emotional disturbance as his defense.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So the people that get out on the sidewalk and cheer for him. Do you realize he's claiming he was so crazy that he shouldn't be found guilty, not that he was so justified and rational. And it clearly was a good idea like you're claiming as you stand on the street with your up with luigi. Signs
Heather Myers
from ABC7 measured to give non citizens the right to vote in Los Angeles city elections to go before voters. Sally, interesting one from Fox News. Subcontractors say they are owed millions and facing financial rune after helping to build the Obama presidential center.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, God, you want it. So if you've got some, like you need to throw up rather than take some medicine to make yourself throw up or put your finger down your throat. Watch MSNBC's coverage of the opening of the Obama library today. I've already seen the teases and it's just, oh, my God, are they fawning over the former president? Oh, it's disgusting.
Heather Myers
That library costs $850 million to build.
Joe Getty
Lord.
Heather Myers
News Nation says China says spy turtles are snooping in its waters.
Joe Getty
That's weird. It sounded like you said spy turtles.
Heather Myers
Spy turtles.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Heather Myers
Yes. And finally this morning from the Babylon Bee, the world breathes sigh of relief as terrorists promise to be good.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that's a pretty good one. Good one. Babylon B. World breathes sigh of relief as terrorists promise to be good.
Joe Getty
That's all. Good. Look at the markets. That's what the president said. Armstrong and Getty.

This is me teasing, talking about this next hour. This is me not trying to start the conversation now. So somebody reigned me in. But the president, among other things, yesterday said they can have rockets. Other countries have rockets. So why don't they get rockets?
Joe Getty
Oh, Lord.
Jack Armstrong
They can have a domestic, peaceful uranium enrichment program. We don't get to tell them not to do that. Two crazy things, in my opinion. But we'll talk about that next hour.
Joe Getty
All right. Turn off his microphone. Michael, let's. Just to be safe. Just to be safe. All right. Coming up, criminal networks and hacker gangs are weaponizing your toaster. Stay with us. Maybe not your toaster, but every Internet connected device in your home might be a tool right now. Of hacking networks and foreign governments. They came with backdoor software installed that nobody knew about.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. God, I don't want software and all my stuff.
Joe Getty
I don't either.
Jack Armstrong
That's where they make their money. We found out that's one of the reasons that big screen TVs are so cheap. It's because various companies get tons of data.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
From your smart tv. I. God, that's so maddening. You go to watch something and you have to update software. If you're old enough to remember when you could just walk up and turn on the TV and always watch it.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. So more on that to come. It is fascinating and troubling. So do you remember the name Tim Tebow? Sports fans certainly do. He was a college football phenomenon, University of Florida. He was roundly ridiculed and mocked by certain members of the media because he was a proud and devout Christian and would pray and talk about his Christianity given the opportunity.
Jack Armstrong
He was one of the great.
Joe Getty
He was portrayed as a stupid hick.
Jack Armstrong
He was one of the greatest college football players of all time. And then, for whatever reason, a bust in the NFL, but out and proud about his Christianity. So that made him a bad person.
Joe Getty
And while the people who mocked Tim Tebow are sipping expensive cocktails in Manhattan and dying slowly of ennui, Tim is now dedicating his life to rescuing victims of child sexual abuse, both pornography and trafficking and that sort of thing. And he did an interview with Brett Baer last night on Fox News that I thought was amazing. Here he is talking about the horrifically, almost hilariously, if it were at all funny, inadequacies of our programs to find and stop this sort of abuse.
Tim Tebow or Tim Tebow Foundation Representative
But right now, in the ICSA database, there are 89,000 series of boys and girls that have been raped and abused, and they're unidentified. Could you imagine if you are one of seven people, and I'm deep. They're amazing. They're the tip of the spear. Could you imagine if you're one of those seven? Your job was to identify all those boys and girls. There's no chance. But with the Renewed Hope act and the training and now going from seven to 200 victim identification and forensic specialists, we have a chance now of pushing this fight back, because ultimately we are losing. We're getting our butts kicked in so many areas. And we have a chance now with this.
Joe Getty
Interestingly, we skipped over the description of the problem.
Jack Armstrong
So I will say that I missed something or.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy. Okay, so there is a horrific amount of child porn online in the dark recesses, the dark web, you know, the encrypted exchanges, that sort of stuff.
Jack Armstrong
I didn't know that.
Joe Getty
And. Oh, my God, We've. I tell you what, we've got to get the first part of that report. I did not memorize all these statistics about the number of victims there are out there. And he talks about the 89,000, the number of perpetrators there are and how many victims those perpetrators tend to have across their lifetimes, and how incredibly important it is that we identify the kids in those horrific videos and pictures and figure out who they are so we can find them and identify the horrific monsters that are raping them and sexually abusing them and sometimes profiting from their efforts. Often it's within the same household and. Well, usually it's within the same household, which is absolutely horrifying. And there were seven people in the Justice Department, seven dedicated to figuring out identifying these poor kids. We're being victimized as we speak in a lot of cases. There are now 200. And there's more funding coming through the act. He Was talking about with the amount
Jack Armstrong
of money that we waste in the federal government on programs that don't do anything, the idea that that is underfunded is horrifying.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Hey, Gavin, shut down the bullet train and let's start finding child rapists. How about that? Because the bullet train will never exist and we all know that. It's just a gift to your cronies. It's absolutely awful. Go ahead and play 37, Michael. And we'll get that other stuff in a bit. And you look at these numbers on
Jack Armstrong
online enticement reports to the cyber tip line. 292,000 the first six months of 2024. 518,000 in the first six months of 2025. I mean, it seems like this is exploding.
Tim Tebow or Tim Tebow Foundation Representative
It is. And it's growing every single day. A couple years ago, the first time that we testified that number in the equation, the database, it wasn't 89,000, it was 57,000. And with all the law enforcement, our team and partners, and so many people that are fighting in this space, in the last two years, 20,000 boys and girls have been identified and or rescued. But that number is still at 89,000. That means that really that number has risen to 109,000. So it is growing exponentially.
Jack Armstrong
So you said it often comes from within the household. So then you gotta. I don't even want to, I don't even want to throw out examples. But you have a family member whose brain is broken and is turned on by sexual stuff with kids. So they video it and put it online to make money or as a
Joe Getty
trade with other monsters to get more child porn because they're so into it.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know anything about the, the, the scary parts of the Internet. I don't know how to get into it or reach it or look at it. I mean, I just use Google, but I'm, you know, I'd be interested, but I'm kind of glad I don't have any way to get up right at it.
Joe Getty
Right? Yeah. Hey, some of the stuff that I wanted is here in clip 38, Michael. Roll that, Tim.
Tim Tebow or Tim Tebow Foundation Representative
And we also know you got to see a little bit of that red dot map. The six month screenshot of more than 330,000 unique IP addresses downloading and sharing child rape images under the age of 2012. But we also know that 55 to 85% of them that are downloading are also hands on offenders. And we also know that your average offender has 13 victims in your lifetime. So every time we can protect A kid and put one of those offenders behind bars. We protected a whole lot of other kids as well.
Joe Getty
First of all, it is fantastic what he and folks working with him are doing. And the number of lives that have been saved changed the number of souls, these poor children's souls that may have been, you know, rescued in time that they can live happy lives. I pray that that's the case is just amazing. So credit to him. But the evil is out there and it's, it's, there's a lot of it. The Internet has enabled so much more efficient exchange engagement in evil. There's just no denying it. The autism, child porn, you name it.
Jack Armstrong
The one pervo in your small town who used to be completely isolated now has a big group he's part of.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And can, you know, facilitate more awfulness. Oh, that is really disturbing. God, I would think if we put enough money into it, we could track these people down because it's pretty hard to hide online, not be found out where you are and who you are.
Joe Getty
They're pretty good at it. There are ways to do it.
Jack Armstrong
I'll bet we could find them if we put enough money into it.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. If it was a high enough priority, I agree. We could at least do a great deal better. And you know, not to diminish this by citing, you know, the starfish metaphor, but no, we're not going to save every kid, but we might save, like he said, 20,000 of them in the last several years. Let's make it a hundred thousand, please.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and with all the money we spend on, on programs that do nothing. God, the fact that that had just a few people in it, you know, floating around the entirety of the Internet trying to catch these people is horrifying.
Joe Getty
Oh, it is. It absolutely is. Yeah. Child rape victims don't have well paid lobbyists. That's the problem. Yeah, sorry. You know, it's. It is good people fighting a righteous battle. I'm afraid that the takeaway is a bit of a downer and I don't want it to be.
Jack Armstrong
Well, I've got an optimistic note about Tim Tebow I can tell you about right after this. And speaking of online and everything that can happen online, your, your dad is floating around out there. A lot of it might be on the dark web for other people to snatch up and sell to people. Your address, your name, your phone number, your emails, all that sort stuff. If you use Incogni, at least Incogni can go to these data brokers and use the law to try to get your information on there so it's not floating around.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it really is quite amazing because they get after it and they keep after it over and over and over again so that your data isn't being sold and sold and resold. Go to incogni.com incogni.com armstrong they'll give you 60% off, which is absolutely fantastic. It's very affordable. Take a shot at this. Incogni.com Armstrong forget the spam filters and call blockers. The real fix, again, is to disappear. Incogni.com Armstrong we'll have a link to the Tim Tebow foundation if you want to get involved or donate or whatever. It is a righteous cause.
Jack Armstrong
He I guarantee, because I've heard him talk enough. Again, one of the greatest football players who's ever played. I mean, he's in the argument for the best college football player who ever existed and then couldn't make a go of it in the NFL and tried like crazy for a long time. But I guarantee that he has the view of this wasn't God's plan for me, of what I'm supposed to do with my talents on earth is to become an NFL football player. And he's decided to do this sort of thing. He's got the star power. He can get doors opened. I'm sure he can get people on the phone that you and I couldn't get on the phone because he's, you know, if you're a college football fan, he's a big deal.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack Armstrong
And then, you know, and use his skills to tackle this problem, for instance.
Joe Getty
Right. And I'm a cynic and I can recognize insincerity pretty, pretty consistently. And he is extremely articulate and 100% sincere in his desire to do this good thing. So good for you, Tim. Again, I will be contributing myself, so we don't have a lot of time. Maybe we can get to this next hour. How hackers found a backdoor into the American living room. Nation state cyber attackers, the usual suspects, are increasingly using what they call residential proxy networks. We've talked about this before to mask their traffic to our ability to find somebody online. Turning your everyday electronics into a global threat and a tool of the evil sewers.
Jack Armstrong
I was shopping for a crock pot and I was trying to find one that doesn't have a big LCD keypad on it that you get, you know, so you can operate it on your phone. I just want a knob like my grandma's had on low, off, low, high.
Joe Getty
That's all I want. I don't want to tighten your grandma's knob. Who can forget it, right? Yes.
Jack Armstrong
I don't want to have to update
Joe Getty
the software in my freaking crock pot
Jack Armstrong
and the Chinese hack into it. Burn my rub roast china.
Joe Getty
Sorry, kids, no stew tonight. I need to update the software. But, dad, it just warms things slowly. What does it need software for? I don't know, son, but it's. It's smart. It's a smart crock bot.
Jack Armstrong
Oy. And you don't want, you know, Communist Xi hacking into your crock pot, doing whatever the Chinese are gonna do.
Joe Getty
Right? With hands all over your meat. A second schwance pun in one segment. Unfortunate.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God. She's got his hands on his meat. He at grandma's knob all in one segment.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I really need to find some. I know, I know.
Jack Armstrong
Tim Tebow would not appreciate this. Okay, we have got Mailbag next, Armstrong and Getty.

Georgia Hardstark
Take a listen, Hedy. She starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him?
Karen Kilgariff
I mean, I watch the Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me to know about him. But incredible innovator, right?
Georgia Hardstark
She says he's a, quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.
Karen Kilgariff
Give us examples.
Georgia Hardstark
I know they do, intellectually. And in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings. And she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of, like, what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hedy Lamarr and Billie Jean King.

agreement a gentleman's agreement between the United States and Iran. Can you have a gentleman's agreement with a bunch of Islamo fascist terrorists? I don't think you can, but more on that an hour too.
Joe Getty
Here are your freedom loving quotes of the day. Continuing our series on negotiation. This is from F C Lee, from a book you've never heard of. When playing the game, sometimes you didn't want your opponent to respect you as smart, rational and clever. Sometimes you wanted the opponent to believe you were completely unstable and utterly reckless. That's interesting. And then this from Stuart Stafford, who writes about diplomacy among other things. There is a time for diplomacy and a time for the battering ram mailbag.
Jack Armstrong
Apparently we're in the time for diplomacy stage.
Joe Getty
Before we get into the newsy substance,
Jack Armstrong
Tom wrote a note about
Joe Getty
Iran and stuff, but his PS is fantastic. I mentioned my brother's service in the Submarine Service, United States. And he says, I wonder if your brother familiar with the USS Jack, SSN 605, sister boat to the Thresher. I was on the Jack in the winter of 77 when our snorkel mast froze open in stage four Cs off the continental shelf. We were trying to stay at periscope depth while doing 40 degree rolls under 60ft of water. Suddenly, water started pouring down the 6 inch snorkel mast and into the battery breaker wall. That started an electrical fire. A young engineering officer yelled chlorine gas. Everyone immediately secured watertight doors and hastily scrambled for gas masks. Thankfully, he was wrong about the chlorine gas or I wouldn't be here. My shipmates, including some off watch guys who are barefoot, clad only in boxer shorts, successfully fought an electrical fire while ankle deep in salt water. What a day. Long story short, we limped back to New London and nobody died. The end.
Jack Armstrong
Oof.
Joe Getty
What a day indeed. My friend wouldn't forget that. Yeah, it's become kind of a cliche to say thanks for your service, but that's, that's a tale of bravery, capability and training more than anything else. Let's see, we got a variety of comments on the Iran deal. I'm going to skip those for now. How about this? Kevin from Boise. We were talking yesterday about how California now has a law encouraging forcing utility companies to give a certain percentage of their contractor contracts for everything from, you know, metal to, to coffee to whatever, to gay and trans owned businesses. But you've got to be certified as gay. Certifiably gay. And if you fake being gay, if you're not gay enough, you could do five years in prison.
Jack Armstrong
That's why you need to be 100% certified grade A gay.
Joe Getty
Right? Exactly. So Kevin from Boise. Right. So California will now have a gay registry. History tells us nothing about the harm that can come from that. Sarcastic. I love this. Jeff and Pacific Grove on the same topic. So it's more important to carefully check if someone's gay than that they're a citizen and eligible to vote. Wow. Yeah, asking to show your license is way too oppressive. But having like documented notary public stamped documents to show you're a homosexual is. That's absolutely appropriate. Let me be clear. I am gay. Oh my gosh. We haven't, we haven't played that clip in forever. Michael,
Jack Armstrong
do we have anybody emailing us saying how dare you guys doubt Trump on this Iran deal or this is clearly a good deal and this is why is anybody saying that?
Joe Getty
Well, kind of obliquely one gal said it's you guys are Debbie Downer. It's so depressing. You sound like cnn. I can't remember what else she said
Georgia Hardstark
then.
Joe Getty
Ba ba ba. I can't take too long to find. Well you could.
Jack Armstrong
You can criticize us for being Debbie Downers that were. You know, you tune in and you hear negativity. But is there any positivity to be had on this story?
Joe Getty
I can't find any of that. We've got one of our young fascists saying Nick Fuentes was right all along about and you guys are fools and boomers and you've gotten everything wrong your entire lives. Nick Fuentes pretty did all of this and Tucker Carlson that you know it would end in a stalemate with damage being done and blah blah blah. So let's see. On the topic of political violence, black or blue or black in blue writes Brian the race to the blue and red in a race to the bottom. I agree with calling out our own side on political violence, but as you stated right before that the Democratic run media doesn't call out any of this stuff. So you got to do something obnoxious just to get the story some news coverage. I believe in looking menacing and carrying a soft understanding speech. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what ends the cycle of political violence and neither does anybody else. But enforcing the damn law would help. Like they're trying to do the Fed's busting all those violent antifa rioters in Minneapolis. You got to arrest them and punish them.
Jack Armstrong
Apparently the deal is out. We know what it is. Trump made a lot of comments about it yesterday. See if you think it's a good thing for the United States or the world or not. Get to that now or two, if you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on Demand.
