studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong.
Joe Getty
And now here, Armstrong. Live from Studio C Senior.
Jack Armstrong
It is a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Yeti communications compound. And today on Little Wednesday, we're toiling under the title of the show US
Joe Getty
catches World cup fever and gets a little messy. See what I got did there double thing there. And this one's even better. Yeah, more like the jcpos.
Jack Armstrong
That is good.
Joe Getty
Thank you.
Jack Armstrong
The jcpos.
Joe Getty
The current negotiations are going backward fast.
Jack Armstrong
And with the breaking news being the Iranians say no, we didn't agree to inspectors today. They just said that.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack Armstrong
So there you go.
Joe Getty
There are a couple other points. The US Came out and said, and we finally got an agreement on that. And they're like, no, he didn't. No, no. Boy, it's surprising too to see Iran acting like this in a negotiation to no one.
Jack Armstrong
I was up late last night. I don't know how this happened. I got obsessed all of a sudden with buying a Glock.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Because starting July 1st, which is just a few days away, a week away, California's banning the sales of Glocks, the most popular gun in the United States of America. When you have a second amendment that's ridiculous, you'll no longer be able to buy a Glock. I own several guns. I don't own a Glock. And I thought, I gotta have a Glock. I just gotta have one. So I ended up going through that, talking to Chad GPT and figuring all this out. First of all, it's too late to buy a new one. You can't buy a new one in any store because of the waiting period. So you could go in today and buy one and pick one out and everything like that, but the 10 day waiting period would be after the first and they can't hand it to you after the first.
Joe Getty
I'll sell you my.45. $5,000.
Jack Armstrong
So.
Joe Getty
Well, you're a friend. 4950.
Jack Armstrong
So I have two Smith and Wesson.357 Magnums. So I can still put a big hole in a bad guy anytime I
Joe Getty
want to, but necessary.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I just, I'm so offended by this idea that California is banning the sale. Remember Kamala Harrison? She said, I own a Glock, so if you break into my house, you're
Joe Getty
going to get shot.
Jack Armstrong
Remember her saying that? That was her. You know, I'm okay with the second amendment play when she was running for president. Gavin Newsom has banned the most popular gun in America. There's no way this holds up. Not a chance this holds up. Although, you know, the way all these things work, it could take five years before the Supreme Court finally gets the case and says, no, you can't ban the easiest to use most popular self defense weapon in the United States of America. No, you can't ban that.
Joe Getty
I, you know, I, Somehow this has flown under my radar.
Jack Armstrong
Oh. So let me get to the why I was up so late. So, so then I'm doing all that research and everything like that. The only way you can buy one is used. And everybody who's got an extra Glock has caught on to the fact that people like me are getting fu. Glock fever, wanting to own one just to say, f you, you're not gonna stop me. And so people are charging $2,000 for their gun they bought for 400 bucks. That's one of the amazing things about Glocks, is a lot of them really aren't very expensive.
Joe Getty
No, no. Very, very user friendly. So evidently lawmakers say. Because I was going to say this is flown under my radar and I, I couldn't come up with the reasoning. I couldn't remember, hadn't heard it. Lawmakers say that the Glock and similar pistols can be easily modified with illegal Glock switches to become fully automatic machine pistols.
Jack Armstrong
Fine. Okay. You don't get to keep me from having that gun.
Joe Getty
Yeah, right. No, it won't stand up. The part that the illegal. The Glock switch is already illegal. Enforce those laws and then when they couch somebody, if they're darker skinned than your average Swede, they won't, they won't use gun enhancements. And the criminal charges, the left. It's insane.
Jack Armstrong
That's the part that gets left out all the time. That most people haven't caught on to. The old gun arguments everybody has heard a million times. Of the. None of these things matter to me. It's like my, my boys and I bought some knives at Big five Sporting Goods yesterday because they were on sale and everything like. But all the rules around knives, same as guns. I'm not gonna go somewhere and stab somebody just randomly. So it doesn't. And the person who is, you're not gonna slow them down. But the back end of this on the gun thing that you just mentioned doesn't get enough attention. All of these socialist communist DA's around the country, they don't prosecute people on guns anyway. So you want the laws, common sense gun laws. What is it with the nra, owns the Republican Party, you can't get common sense gun laws? Well, you pass gun laws and your socialist DA's won't prosecute anybody.
Joe Getty
Exactly. Unless you're a white homeowner defending your home.
Jack Armstrong
Right. And then it gets into, yeah, a sticky situation. If you had an opportunity to run, you didn't have to shoot. But if it's some underprivileged person who shoots you on the street, then they don't prosecute the gun law.
Joe Getty
Hear this, understand this, internalize this, make it part of your DNA. Once you figure out that these people are Marxists, it all makes sense. Why would you campaign for gun laws and not enforce them against the people who shoot guns the most? I don't get it. They're Marxists. They want to overthrow the system. They know it's insane. Just know that and it explains everything. So anyway, yeah, it won't stand up for a week.
Jack Armstrong
Who was Gavin trying to please with the banning the most popular gun in the world, knowing that it's almost certainly not constitutional? Was that throwing that out there for the anti gun crowd or something?
Joe Getty
Like I say, this has kind of been below, under my radar. So I don't know whether it's been pushed by the assembly or gav, because the assembly is left of the Communist party. And it could just be the anti gun left pushing their will with their super majority. I don't know. Could it be he's trying to burnish his lefty credentials for the primary because he knows it'll be, you know, all the energy in the Democratic party is the young way left, which is just nuts.
Jack Armstrong
And the term Glock here, it's not just the brand Glock, it's any Glock style gun, which there are lots of companies that make Glock style guns because they're so popular. It's like, you know, Stratocaster style guitars. It's so, no, the state of California no longer be permitted to sell new Glock handguns or similar models. And New York Post or California Post has a big piece on that today on how this has got to be fought immediately or this becomes a real big possible nationwide restriction of gun rights for people, as usual, punishing law abiding citizens. So I'm not allowed to have an easy to use, inexpensive, reliable gun. But criminals can do whatever they want, of course.
Joe Getty
Right? State of California Glocks are now illegal criminals.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's cute. As the California Post wrote, the state has decided to restrict future retail access to the Glock, the most popular handgun in America, punishing law abiding citizens for the actions of criminals. It's the legislative equivalent equivalent of banning the Honda Civic because someone used it as a getaway car.
Joe Getty
Essentially, yeah.
Jack Armstrong
And reminding everyone that former Vice president Kamala Harris publicly boasted about being a Glock owner herself for personal protection. And of course, the California Post points out, everybody always loves this particular angle. It's probably what the protection agency for all the rich and powerful in the state of California are carrying his Glocks, their horse carrying Glocks.
Joe Getty
Nancy Pelosi's bodyguards, Gavin Newsom's bodyguards, Karen Bass's bodyguards, are all toting clocks. Exactly.
Jack Armstrong
Probably, yes.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. That's beautiful.
Jack Armstrong
And the other part of this that needs to be fought is beginning July 1, firearms dealers will be required to complete comprehensive state approved training designed to help them identify customers who might pose a danger to themselves or others. Which, as the Post points out, sounds okay on the surface. But what's going to. Well, first of all, there's all kinds of classes and tests you have to take and fees you have to pay. And it's expensive. It's just, it's designed to make it more difficult to stay in business as a gun shop owner, etc. But then you get down to the. So now all gun store owners are supposed to be amateur psychologists figuring out who might be dangerous. And if you're wrong, you could get sued into oblivion. So you're going to, in many cases, air toward, I don't know, I better not sell this guy a gun, because what if it comes back on me?
Joe Getty
And if you are, and if you say no to somebody who's more tan than Edgar Winter, look it up if you're young or not into classic rock. He was an albino. You see if one of a pair of twins actually with Johnny. Right, Johnny Winner.
America 250 Announcer 2
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Anyway, if you are tanner than those fellows and you say no to somebody, you'll immediately be sued for racial discrimination. Good Lord. Just stop doing things that are laughable. California.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and it depends on the gun store. I don't know how many liberals run gun stores, but you could certainly imagine somebody saying I'm not gonna sell you guy came in in a maga hat. Obviously a nut. I'm not gonna sell a gun to a guy in a maga hat.
Joe Getty
Right. And then you've got a different lawsuit. So if I go into a store, buy a gun, but I've got crazy eyes, they have to call me in.
Jack Armstrong
You got the crazy eyes where you twitch a little.
Joe Getty
We call Mike Michael Crazy Eyes. Killer behind the scenes.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know how I missed this story. For some reason I wasn't paying enough attention. If I'd had figured it out last week, I could have bought a new Glock and I would have fu. California is what that gesture is. I don't need a Glock. I don't need another gun. Unless I don't know what sort of battle against a entire Mexican cartel I plan to get into if I have as many guns as I'll end up with.
Joe Getty
But boy, I gotta head straight to South Lake Tahoe, right on the Nevada side and we'll open up Joe's house o Glocks. Come on in, folks. We'll have balloons outside. We'll be giving away hot dogs.
Jack Armstrong
You can't bring them in for the kids. You can't bring them into California.
Joe Getty
Oh yeah. Who's going to stop you?
Jack Armstrong
That's a very good point. And I may have some things around the world of guns and ammunition that have been brought into the Star. I know a guy who looks just like me and drives the same car.
Joe Getty
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
And of course. Yeah, who is going to stop you? But that would be quite the charges on very expensive.
Joe Getty
Probably it'd be the plaintiff at the Supreme Court. Your name would be. You'd be famous for standing up for the second Amendment. All your legal fees would be paid for by various foundations. But that is start a GoFundMe.
Jack Armstrong
I could. I'm. I'm going to be in Nevada this weekend, as a matter of fact, right across the border where my son and I like to ride dirt bikes. I buy a glock there for 400 bucks. They got tons of them because it's the cheapest, easiest to buy gun in America. And you know, I forget it's in my car. Yeah.
Joe Getty
You get arrested. Give me a week or two. I'll get your bail money. We'll get you out a week or two. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Oh my God.
Joe Getty
Reasonable.
Jack Armstrong
I'm cute and cuddly. They'll be using me from dusk till dawn. Oh, Lord. All right, that's a classic line from the movie Strange Brew.
Joe Getty
Let's start real quick. While you're in Nevada, get yourself a
Jack Armstrong
gas powered lawnmower and gas anything else you can get and other things that you can't get in California. A gas powered lawnmower. How crazy is that? Anyway, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, June 23rd. Too late to buy a Glock. The year 2026. We are Armstrong again. We approve of this program.
Joe Getty
All right then, let's begin. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we are leaping into action at mark. Pull back here.
Jack Armstrong
Let's see Ron Messi history in Dallas.
Joe Getty
Lionel Messi scores the goal to make him the World Cup's all time leading scorer.
Jack Armstrong
Wonderful moment.
Joe Getty
That's how you score a World cup record setting goal. Not from the penalty spot. That is typical Messi.
Jack Armstrong
Magnificent.
Joe Getty
And he now has more goals than Miroslav Close and more goals than any
Jack Armstrong
other player to play in a World cup finals tournament. There you go. Too many tattoos for my taste, but
Joe Getty
all right, maybe write him a letter. Dear Leonel, while I admire your play
Jack Armstrong
on the pitch, yes, you're setting a bad example for the youth of the world. We've got headlines with Heather Myers coming up and lots of news today. And yes, the Iranians have already come out and said, no, we didn't agree to that. So stay tuned.

I liked your second headline today, the Moupos. I am the jcpos. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I am. I'm fully in that camp now.
Joe Getty
So the Obama like piece of ass.
Jack Armstrong
It's not as good as the Obama thing, which wasn't good. So we'll get into that coming up. Yikes.
Joe Getty
All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather, Take it away, Joe.
News Reader
Jack. That's the story that's topping the headlines this morning. Let's start with NBC News. Trump insists Iran has agreed to nuclear inspections and talks for war ending deal. CBS News tells it like this. Trump says Iran completely agreed to nuclear inspections, but Tehran denies any such plans. And from the BBC, Iran says no new commitments on nuclear sites after Vance says inspectors to be invited back.
Jack Armstrong
And then how about the letting them trade oil in US Dollars for the first time in decades, which is going to mean billions upon billions of dollars to them right away.
Joe Getty
I have direct quotes from American presidents trying this very strategy who are later humiliated by the Iranians. But we're going to try it again. They've changed. This is a new crew. Okay.
News Reader
From News Nation this morning, Fauci to face Senate testimony after subpoena. Lawmaker says yes.
Joe Getty
I want to see him in manacles. I will not be happy until he is shuffling onto the prison bus and manacles.
Jack Armstrong
You have a lot on that story, right, that we didn't get to yesterday.
Joe Getty
Yes.
News Reader
Max. Trump threatens prison for damage to reflecting pool.
Joe Getty
Yeah, that whole. It was vandalism. Nobody can seem to figure out or prove that it was vandalism. Well, it doesn't even look like vandalism.
Jack Armstrong
I think it was. ABC said we talked with all law agencies and couldn't find anybody that was arrested. Trump Said people were arrested. Ed o' Keefe on CBS said the National Park Service said five people were arrested.
Joe Getty
Okay.
Karen from My Favorite Murder
Huh?
Joe Getty
Yeah.
News Reader
Then there's pictures online showing people in cuffs near the pool. So lots of questions regarding the algae.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know why the mainstream media acts like it's just impossible to imagine some people vandalizing the pool that Trump remade. Because I get. I get nearly attacked every day from. For driving a cybertruck. You think there aren't people out there who want to destroy the pool just to hurt Trump?
Joe Getty
On the other hand, and I now think we have three hands. One guy was arrested because he saw a piece of the lining floating in the water, and he reached in, picked it up and looked at it, and he. Before he knew it, he was in cuffs and spent four hours in the police station.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, boy.
News Reader
From NBC News this morning, Nancy Guthrie case. Second note sent to the media outlets said that she had died.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Joe Getty
And who knows if it was authentic. And of course she did. Yeah.
News Reader
From the ap, Tucker Carlson says he will no longer support the Republican Party.
Joe Getty
All right,
News Reader
From NBC News, SpaceX stock tumbles from its high as average investor sees gains wiped out.
Jack Armstrong
Tons of tech stocks tumbled. They had to shut down the South Korea stock market because they dropped more than 10%.
News Reader
So, all right, you covered the story about Messi setting the World cup scoring record. So I'll end with this. On the Babylon B, they say reflecting pool algae surges ahead of Kamala in 2028 Democrat presidential polls.
Joe Getty
Man, that is funny. Wow.
Jack Armstrong
She's pulling behind the algae in the reflecting pool.
Joe Getty
Not surprising.
Jack Armstrong
That is not good, though.
Cindy Crawford (Meaningful Beauty Advertiser)
Not good.

Gonna have to turn around her messaging. Thank you, Heather. We've got the latest news for you coming up. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.

I was just watching Fox and Friends before we got into work and they had on some former ambassador to somewhere in the Middle East. Anyway, that was their lead guest today, their one guest who I'm sure they chose on purpose and knew what he was going to say, more or less, who blasted every single angle of this as just like slap your forehead. I can't imagine what the Trump administration is doing. This is on Fox. Yeah, same similar reaction from the New York Post and other outlets. Is there anybody outside of JD Vance and Donald Trump who think this is going well? Either they're about to, you know, lay it on us and we're all going to send or understand. Oh, okay, I get it. Or that will happen over time. Iran lives up to their promises and they will look like geniuses, which I think is a long shot.

He's with Commentary, the the world's leading pro Israel publication. He came out yesterday and so he got on a bunch of different big podcasts and publications. He said he thinks J.D. vance is flat out lying, saying that the Iranians agreed to inspectors. Just made that up. Wow, that's a heck of a charge from a, from a pretty highly placed person with access to the White House.
Joe Getty
But
Jack Armstrong
I'm gonna go with he's just naive and taking their word for it. Then, then the Iranians come out today, as you just heard and said, no, we didn't agree to inspectors, but there's all kinds of other problems with the whole thing. I don't know where you even start on what a Mess this is the Wall Street Journal runs through all of it pretty well straight of Hormuz, for instance. Traffic is flowing. Iran has already sent some $3 billion in crude oil through Hormuz for exports. And the regime's declaration over the weekend that the strait is closed shifted traffic to the Iranian controlled transit route. So the only ships that are going through there are going through the part that Iran controls, not the other part. Right now, other vessels went dark out of fear or are not crossing at all. So Iran has instructed all vessels transiting Hormuz to request access 48 hours in advance and acquire Iranian insurance with the fee waived for now, but the belief being that they're going to add in the fee whenever they feel like it
Joe Getty
and as needed for cash or bargaining.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, and we won't start it. So they are going to be charging a toll. They're going to be running the Strait of Hormuz where they basically already are. So you got that on the whole sanctions thing. The US treasury issued broad sanctions relief on all kinds of different ways. The license allows anyone even sanctioned conduits of Iran's Islamic Republican Revol Guard, a terrorist organization, according to the United States, to be paid in US Dollars only. Last week the State Department reported that Iran's oil and petroleum exports are a primary source of revenue for its armed forces, terrorist partners and proxies. Billions of dollars will now go directly to the IRGC to rebuild the regime's foreign reserves, Iran said. And the United States its frozen assets have been released. $6 billion held in Qatar. That money could be used is supposed to be. This is to the hilariously naive part. J.D. vance came out and said, yeah, but that's only allowed to be used for food, medicine and the like, according to J.D.
Ryan Reynolds (Mint Mobile Advertiser)
vance.
Joe Getty
Oh my Lord. To your point earlier, J.D. vance thinks you're stupid.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, that was my theme yesterday. And then you got this from Donald Trump. This is on the sanctions relief and the money and everything like that. Trump said he suggested Iran would use any revenue to buy American agricultural products. So this is actually going to be great for America and the Midwest as tons of this money rolls into the United States. A condition the US Negotiators have raised for releasing Iran's frozen assets.
Joe Getty
Just like the Chinese giant purchases of soybeans.
Jack Armstrong
I'm going to have to, he said.
Joe Getty
But the sanctions didn't materialize.
Jack Armstrong
The money is going to be put into this country. All that money's coming back in the form of purchases of food. Donald Trump says if you believe that you're A child.
My Favorite Murder Host
Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yeah. I did come across one really good defense of the deal that says everybody's getting this wrong. Everybody's looking at it wrong. By a retired American general who spent a great deal of his career in that region and he writes for like the giant daily newspaper in Turkey, of all things, or wrote a column for them. And I can share his thinking with you maybe next hour. It's a little longish. The very short summary is that, look, putting aside the rhetoric, what's happening here is that every other technique, the whole we're going to squeeze them, the sanctions and all, it's failed. So they're trying something different. And, and, and, and we'll have to see if it works, but it's worth a try, so who knows? He also makes a really interesting point that I want to get into. Hang on, give it a second. About the difference between the way the Middle east perceives war and peace and the way people in the west perceive war and peace, which I found really intriguing.
Jack Armstrong
So this one person you found to back the deal is saying it's because we got no other choice,
Joe Getty
essentially, historically speaking, not at this moment, we have no other choice, but historically speaking, because nothing else has worked.
Jack Armstrong
And I still don't understand why continuing to bomb the bejesus out of them or put Marines on their soil or just continue to choke them off until they fall are not options.
Joe Getty
Right? Yeah. That's just all cost of the world economy. They lost their nerve and. Or they decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze as they see in the, say in the juice squeezing business.
Jack Armstrong
Donald Trump said many times yesterday, one thing that is certain, they will not get a nuclear weapon. I hope he's sticking by that. I hope he means that deep in his bones that only point a consistency
Joe Getty
through this whole thing. So I've got to believe he's sincere,
Jack Armstrong
that if they do say no to inspections, he doesn't allow that just to be drug out for months or years while they're building a nuke and rearming and rebuilding their rockets and everything else.
Joe Getty
Right, right.
Jack Armstrong
I mean, the, the, the, I was hesitant to ever get into the comparing it to the Obama deal because that's just, that's like Trump derangement syndrome pulling you off the point of things. Like, it's too easy judging everything on whether or not you like Donald Trump or versus Obama or whatever. But Trump's whole point was, I tore up that deal because it sucked. I'm gonna get a better one if this one's worse than the deal that happened that we had before. That is not good.
Joe Getty
All right.
Jack Armstrong
And that was a bad deal.
Joe Getty
It's humiliating. I think this is worth going through if you're not familiar with this. Every US president since 1979, since the Islamic Republic was founded. And I think it's funny that the the Iranians refer to Israel dismissively, contemptuously, hatefully as the Zionist regime. You're the Islamist regime, so shut up. Anyway, every president had the same wish, only to discover the regime had other plans. After the fall of Shah, Jimmy Carter wanted to open a diplomatic channel with the Ayatolls regime and embrace it as the true voice of the people. He was rebuffed in his presidency, sunk, et cetera. Ronald Reagan tried as well in the Iran Contra affair, sprung from misguided hopes of getting the regime to free other US hostages and from there to move past hostility. Iran had taken the hostages via the terror groups. It stood up in Lebanon to spread its revolution, some of which continue to operate today. These proxies murdered hundreds of Americans in suicide bombings and became the template for the Iran back militias that so war across the region. George H.W. bush tried to reach out to Tehran immediately with his inaugural address. Speaking of Americans held hostage, he told Iran goodwill begets goodwill, but the regime wasn't looking for goodwill. And then they go into the Cobart Tower bombings that killed 19 US servicemen, injured 400 in 96. Bill Clinton then just then chased the reformist President Mohammed Khatami with gestures and concessions in the late 90s, only to discover the real power lay with the Ayatollah, who had no interest. George W. Bush included Iran in his axis of evil, but declined to confront it, even as the Pentagon found it responsible for killing hundreds of US soldiers in Iraq. They broke up their nuclear program into pieces and kept them on ice waiting. Next up was Barack Obama, who we've gone through at length. Every single president goes with an open hand to Iran and gets slapped for it and humiliated.
Jack Armstrong
So I'll read the final paragraph in this piece in the Wall Street Journal where it lays out all the ways this is a terrible deal. Before we take a break and get to Mailbag, they quote JD Vance from yesterday. I think we don't have to give the Iranians anything if they don't make the commitments that we want long term on the nuclear program. Then all the news came out about the sanctions relief that they're getting immediately yesterday. Mr. Vance has said while selling the MoU that they won't get anything until they make their commitments. Even a few Days in before Iran has made long term nuclear commitments that has proved false. We warned of a bailout for the regime and this is what we had in mind, says the Wall Street Journal. A bailout for the regime. They're going to get billions of dollars that they can spend however they want. Then other billions that Trump and Vance say are gonna are only allowed to be used to buy, you know, American soybeans, which is hilarious to me.
Joe Getty
Yeah. I want to talk more about that after a quick word from our friends at Incogni. Speaking of scams, every spam call, every scam text, every sketchy email with your name on it starts the same way. Somebody found you on a data broker site. Your name, your phone number, your address, your email, your kids, then their ages, for God's sake. All of it is searchable and for sale.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Forget spam filters and call blockers. The real fix is to disappear. And that's what Incogni does. They contact hundreds of data brokers, legally force them to remove your information. We're using Incogni to get our names and info away from these data brokers.
Joe Getty
Yep. They can't spam you if they can't find you. And right now, get 60 off with an exclusive deal@incogni.com Armstrong. Go to incogni.com Armstrong. Take back your privacy. It's incogni.com Armstrong. It's incogni.Com Armstrong.
Jack Armstrong
We haven't checked in on Merlin the soccer duck. We need to talk about that later.
Joe Getty
Merlin. Not sure I'm hip to Merlin the soccer.
Jack Armstrong
I keep seeing it on the tv. And so I need to know everything about Merlin, the World cup soccer duck who has taken the world by storm.
Joe Getty
Okay, he's not taking me by storm yet, but I'm sure I'll be charmed. So I want to be fair minded about all of this because we're never quite sure what's going on behind the scenes with diplomacy. It's an extremely difficult nut to crack. JD claims, in fact, I've got the quote in front of me that the regime right now. Quote. Is a much different group of people for whom something is fundamentally transformed. Okay, all right.
Jack Armstrong
So you say they asked the ambassador on Fox today and he said, absolutely not. So that was his opinion.
Joe Getty
The who? Which ambassador?
Jack Armstrong
Ambassador. Former ambassador to one of your Middle Eastern countries that they had on Fox who badmouthed every bit of this deal. They said, do you think the regime has changed, that these are different people we're dealing with? He said, absolutely not. This is the same old Republican National Guard we've ever dealt with.
Joe Getty
Back to J.D. you see both. You see people. Both the hardliners, but also more political people saying our relationship with the US over the past 47 years has been a mistake. Let's turn over a new leader. So, okay, maybe that's true. I'm trying to keep an open mind. Why does he say such ridiculously false things as they won't get a penny till they demonstrate they're cooperating. They've already gotten many billions of pennies. Right, just by lifting the blockade. J.D. clean up your rhetoric or explain why you gotta lie to us.
Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah, it seems like it's been a flat out lie just in the last 24 hours. Look, they get nothing until they've shown us. No, that's obviously not the case. So. What are you even talking about?
Joe Getty
Yeah, you've called off the squeeze. They're getting plenty.
Jack Armstrong
It's almost so mystifying that it gives me hope that there's some major thing going on we don't know about.
Joe Getty
Yeah, that was kind of what I was hinting at. It's all so clearly not true. Maybe something has changed completely, but I doubt it. I certainly wouldn't bet more than $10 on it. Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Okay, we got Mailbag on the way and lots of other news to talk about. Stock market crash ish around your AI stuff a little scary.
Joe Getty
Lots of we'll get a little air out of an over inflated time.
Jack Armstrong
There you go. Nothing wrong with that. It was over inflated. We'll get to that also, so stay here.

this guy named Clive Davis died. Since you're the big music guy, maybe you can explain to us later why he was a big deal Deal. Oh sure, I would like to hear that because I don't Know why? He's a big deal.
Joe Getty
Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

The great Clive Davis. Boy, we had two of the three celebrities we expect to pass because they always come in threes. That's just science. You had Clive Davis. Who was the second one?
Jack Armstrong
Alan Greenspan was 100.
Joe Getty
Alan Greenspan? Yeah, the sax player from Chicago died. Love Chicago Freak for that band in its early days. One of my favorite bands ever. Not sure he makes the great.
Jack Armstrong
I don't think so.
News Reader
No.
Joe Getty
No. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Our series about negotiator couple. A couple that I like. David Bach from a book about negotiating and salaries and women and stuff like that. The fact is you deserve every dollar you can get your hands on. There's nothing greedy about it. You deserve a raise and you're capable of getting one. You just have to believe in yourself and start asking for it. That's good advice. You're not going to get it if you don't ask. And I like this one from James Thurber, the famous author. You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backwards. Kind of like that one. Here's your mailbag. Drop us no mailbag at armstrong and getty.com. boy, did we get quite a few emails on this theme. I will let Kevin the Texas Marine be the spokesperson for this cabal of folks. He says, I have a request. Please quit playing Daniel Moroff's voice. Every time I hear it, I begin to involuntarily transition. He makes the Bud Light guy seem manly by comparison. Please talk about, quote, unquote him if needed, but please never play that voice again. A lot of folks in the audience are asking themselves, what voice? What voice are you talking about?
Jack Armstrong
I think if what the voters wanted were people who were grown in bats and had never done or said anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have a very different country. He does make the blood light guys seem like Russell Crowe.
Joe Getty
My tea just dropped by 20 points.

Wow.
Joe Getty
Moving along. All right, let's see. Matt thinks this would be a good T shirt. Ho ho, hey, hey. F the dsa. Oh, you know, I prefer our. Is this in the shop yet? I don't know. Socialism sucks and it never works. I love that as a T shirt. I love the simplicity of it. The simple declarative statement of it. And if you disagree, come at me, bro.
Jack Armstrong
We'll be talking about this tomorrow. There's a chance a bunch of socialist candidates upend the regular Democrats today in primaries across the country.
Joe Getty
Yes, yes, indeed. Let's see. We were talking yesterday about the devaluing of fathers and how every single study of every sort shows again and again that fathers are critical to kids. And yet the academia and media and intelligentsia continue to devalue fathers, including in fiction and entertainment. And this is an excellent point from Jeff. You ever notice the first Toy Story? All of them, really. Andy had no father. Didn't seem to need one or miss one. Can't remember any adult male figures other than a brief glimpse of Psycho Sid's father passed out in an easy chair in front of the TV with a beer in his hand in the middle of the day. How about that image? That's right. That bothered me a great deal when I first saw Toy Story.
Jack Armstrong
Story.
Joe Getty
No dad.
Jack Armstrong
Well, this. This was pointed out. So the New York Times, over the weekend, we talked about that trans piece they had in there about a trans dad. New York Times. Father's Day had four pieces about fatherhood with six authors, three of them written by woman, one by a trans man, two by childless men.
Joe Getty
Good God. If. If we didn't have the First Amendment, that would be enough to close down the New York Times. That is obscene. Let's see, on the Iran deal, Sideshow Bob writes. I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is way better than the jcpoa. Just ask the Ayatollah. Oh, that's sarcastic. Your fancy sushi dinner. Steve from Chico.
Jack Armstrong
I'm still shuddering.

Did jack stop at KFC or McDonald's after the sushi dinner? We need to.

This episode centers on California’s newly announced ban on the sale of certain Glock handguns starting July 1, 2026, sparking a wide-ranging debate on gun rights, state firearm regulations, and the effectiveness of related laws. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty discuss both the policy’s practical implications and its political motivations, while weaving in broader commentary on law enforcement, politics, and U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations. In their characteristic style, they mix frustration with humor and a skeptical eye toward government overreach.

The show is fast-paced, with plenty of rhetorical jabs, analogies, and asides that make political and cultural debates accessible and entertaining.
For listeners seeking a detailed exploration of California’s new Glock ban, U.S.-Iran policy, and contemporary political controversies—with plenty of wit and skepticism—this episode provides both depth and laughs.
