Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Government Shutdown Aftermath & Party Dynamics

[03:19–10:58]

• Major air traffic control staffing problems at major U.S. airports due to the government shutdown.
• Eight Democratic senators sided with Republicans to end the shutdown, earning criticism from their party.
  • “These Democrats know they're hiding behind their colleagues who voted to reopen, who at least extracted retroactive pay for federal workers.” (Co-host, 07:32)
• Both parties experience deep internal strife:
  • “Biggest difference between the two parties...No doubt where the gravity is on the Republican Party, Trump is the earth, moon and sun of everything.” (Jack Armstrong, 05:54)
  • Democrats are described as “leaderless” while Trump is the GOP’s sole gravitational force.
• Debate on whether this signals the end of shutdown politics. Armstrong expects “this was the last shutdown for many, many, many, many years.” (08:33)
• The shutdown extends government funding only until the end of January—future instability remains.

2. Demographic Shifts and the New Gender Divide

[10:58–17:41]

• Detailed discussion of emerging gender splits in party support among young voters:
  • “The GOP has lost an even greater share of female voters under 30...Young women vote more than young men. So it's probably a bigger problem for Republicans.” (Co-host, 10:54)
  • Recent elections highlighted this: female voters (18–29) in multiple states voting >80% for Democrats.
• Armstrong jokes: “How are we ever going to get together and have relationships, heterosexual relationships and babies going forward if we divide this much along gender lines?” (14:42)
• Conservative media’s negative reaction to losing young female voters—mockery and “general disregard,” including “pundits joking and not joking that the 19th Amendment was a mistake.” (Co-host, 15:25)
• Discussion of solutions: “How do we start to bring back women to sanity and even moderate politics?...You got to get the Marxists out of the schools that are teaching them this stuff.” (Jack Armstrong, 17:04, 17:35)

---

3. Veterans Day, Military Recruitment & Patriotism

[25:16–40:42]

• Acknowledgment of Veterans Day; Jack’s son to place flags on veterans’ graves with Boy Scouts.
• U.S. Army’s strong recruitment numbers highlighted: “The army met its fiscal year 2025 active duty recruitment goal of 61,000 soldiers four months before the year ended—marking a significant turnaround.” (Jack Armstrong, 31:01)
• Debate on what fuels renewed interest in service (Biden vs. Trump), worries about politicization of armed forces.

  • Worldwide: only just over 50% would fight, down 10+ points in a decade.
  • Highest willingness: West Asia (77%), India (76%), Middle East (73%)
  • Lowest: EU (32%), U.S. (41%), Canada (34%)
  • “So you've got civilizations that are proud of themselves, believe in themselves, are willing to defend themselves. And then you got civilizations who spend all their time hating themselves, criticizing themselves.” (Jack Armstrong, 36:49)
• Blame placed on “indoctrination factories in your government schools” and a “concerted effort to sow the seeds of cynicism.” (Co-host, 34:57; Jack Armstrong, 37:49)
• Quote: “You may not be interested in warfare, but warfare sure believes in you and your fat, rich society. Military strength is going to come find you.” (Co-host paraphrasing Victor Davis Hanson, 39:19)

---

4. Black Lives Matter Financial Grift

[44:48–52:08]

• Detailed expose of BLM organizational finances post-George Floyd:
  • “Under Color's leadership, Black Lives Matter Global Network foundation doled out massive contracts to her friends and family. They purchased a $6 million mansion in LA in 2020, financed the purchase of an $8 million mansion in Canada in 2021.” (Co-host, 47:13)
  • “By the end of its fiscal 2023 year tax form show, Black Lives Matter saw the $80 million windfall...that $80 million turned into $29 million in three years as it hemorrhaged cash, fulfilling lingering contractual obligations to Color's associates.” (Co-host, 47:13)
  • BLM affiliates, including family, received hundreds of thousands to millions while “performing no work.”
• Armstrong: “We know people personally who lost their careers for saying all lives matter...You know who doesn't think Black Lives Matter? Those people who spent all that money on their houses and their cars and their lifestyle.” (48:52)
• The hosts lambast organizations and churches still displaying BLM signs: “Nice having a sign up by a bunch of thieves, Marxist thieves, which is repetitive.” (Jack Armstrong, 50:34)
• Closing thoughts: “One of the great grifts of all time, that whole organization.” (Jack Armstrong, 52:10)

Tone & Style

The episode interweaves political snark, exasperation, humor, and genuine alarm. The hosts flag problems in party leadership, grift and ideological purity, but also strive to find root causes in schools, American self-critique, and the dangers of political tribalism. They slip into satire, especially when discussing gender divides, and are palpably incensed by what they see as performative activism—especially with BLM.

---

For First-Time Listeners

• Expect cutting banter, skepticism of mainstream narratives, frequent asides, and (sometimes crass) comedic riffs on serious issues.
• The hosts are bluntly critical of both left and right, but especially harsh on “wokeness” and progressive activism they view as empty or corrupt.
• Major stories: end of shutdown, party leadership crises, how gender is realigning political coalitions, skepticism about patriotism and military readiness, and financial revelations about BLM.

---

If you only have a few minutes:

• For analysis on the government shutdown’s political fallout and party leadership implications, listen to [03:19–10:58].
• For the state of young female and male voters, and how it’s transforming party fortunes, hit [10:58–17:41].
• For a takedown of BLM’s financial house of cards, start at [44:48].

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and 36 air traffic control facilities have reported staffing problems. That includes the towers at Chicago o', Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, Phoenix, sky harbor, huge hubs for American Airlines. You can also have the towers at San Francisco and LAX to the list.

[Co-host/Commentator]

This is all on the heels of.

[Jack Armstrong]

The worst weekend for air traffic control staffing since the shutdown began.

[Co-host/Commentator]

One of the main points of the awful government shutdown, of course, the air traffic controller situation, the flight cancellations. Everybody is glad the the shutdown is just about over. Everybody but a lot of Democrats, apparently.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't understand how a Democratic senator.

[Guardian Bikes Advertiser]

Goes, wow, we won really big.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let me cave now. In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power. Exhibit A being what he's done with SNAP and SNAP benefits across the country.

[Co-host/Commentator]

There's no way to defend this.

[Jack Armstrong]

You are right to be angry about it.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I'm angry.

[Announcer]

Oh, I think this whole thing stinks.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I think most members of the House caucus on the Democratic side are absolutely outrage.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. I read Mark Halperin's newsletter today and usually he's just got like a whole bunch of news items, but today it was a long kind of essay about the two political parties and how they both have this inner turmoil. And it'll be interesting to see where it lands. You got the Republicans with the Tucker Fuentes, Megyn Kelly, you know, all that sort of stuff going on where there's a lot of energy and then Democrats, all the stuff we've just heard where you've got the AOC wing that wants to fight, fight, fight Trump and, you know, Mamdani, obviously, and all that sort of stuff versus the older guard who wants and but the main takeaway was and I just saw John Fetterman, senator from Pennsylvania, who's got a book out right now. He's doing an interview on Fox, and he said nobody knows who's in charge of the Democratic Party. Halperin's point was the biggest difference between the two parties, while they do have their, like, energized base, doesn't agree with the people at the top thing going on with the Republican Party. No doubt where the gravity is on the Republican Party, Trump is the earth, moon and sun of everything.

[Co-host/Commentator]

For better or worse.

[Jack Armstrong]

For better or worse. And I'm not sure who has the advantage here, but one guy is clearly the leader of the Republican Party, whereas with Democrats, who has any idea, there is a completely leaderless.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, Michael, hit me with 42. Speaker Mike Johnson, if that is his real name.

[Jack Armstrong]

The long national nightmare is almost coming to an end now. It was long overdue. And the irony is it really was a shutdown about nothing. I mean, what we're voting on is effectively exactly what we offered them several weeks back. We've added some appropriations bills now, which we're in favor of because it's getting us back to the regular order. We'll take care of some other details, but I don't think Chuck Schumer got anything out of this other than a political show. And sadly, I think that's what he was after the whole time.

[Co-host/Commentator]

And honestly, the eight Democrats, the reasonable Senate Democrats who voted let's end this thing are saying roughly the same thing. It wasn't working. We weren't getting anything done. It was just pain for no gain. And the Wall Street Journal editor, Memorial Board points out that the air traffic thing, I mean, that would really, really anger people.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah, we had 3000 cancellations Sunday, 2500 yesterday already at something like 2000 today.

[Co-host/Commentator]

That's a lot, you know, and. And if folks are a day late for a vacation or they miss a business meeting or something, they're annoyed. But if you don't get to see your kids for Thanksgiving or whatever, the grandkids and all, you're going to be freaking enraged anyway over nothing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Over nothing. That's the thing.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Exactly. The Journal says, which makes the cynical fury aimed at the eight Senate defectors all the more remarkable. Pathetic, said California Governor Gavin Newsom. Ro Khanna, another California Democrat with presidential lust, told Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer to resign, even though Chuck Schumer voted against the advancing deal. And then they make the point, and I think this is a pretty astute point. These Democrats know they're hiding behind their colleagues who voted to reopen, who at least extracted retroactive pay for federal workers. That was always gonna happen. And the rehiring of those terminated during the shutdown. So you had eight standing up for the American people so the rest could pretend to be brave pugilists against Trump.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, the one. One of the eight, one woman said we were gonna be in exactly the same situation in two weeks, so we might as well do it today, which I think is true.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right, right. And they risked losing what support they had. So anyway, good luck. Beat the hell out of each other for all I care.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you think. I was thinking after this as following this yesterday, I think this was the last shutdown for many, many, many, many years. Don't you think? Don't you think both sides have decided now, okay, this is just. We get nothing out of this.

[Co-host/Commentator]

The. The reasonable part of me thinks, yeah, you're absolutely right. The cynical part of me thinks give it a month. Give it a year and a half.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, this is only.

[Co-host/Commentator]

It'll dec. Great idea.

[Jack Armstrong]

This thing that they're going to pass is only funding the government till the end of January.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So who knows?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Great. Super. So a couple of sort of related stories and I'll touch on them real quick. And Jack, we can talk about if we want to flush them out. I thought this was super interesting. One of the writers at the Free Press. The real split on the right, influencers versus conservatives. It's not really about ideology or Israel. This is a battle between those who want votes and those who want views. The bomb, Chucky, Click Beatty Passion stoking, you know, influencers versus the politico types. You know, I'd like to read more of it because there's plenty of bomb trucking and click baiting by political figures too, these days. But yeah, yeah, it's definitely. I see their point. But this was, to me, even more interesting and easy to understand. A lot of people have been talking about the Democratic Party's young men problem. It's lost tons of support from male voters 18 to 29. Here's the problem for Republicans. They've got a more severe version of the Democrats demographic crisis. The GOP has lost an even greater share of female voters under 30. And although Democrats are struggling, albeit pitifully, writes somebody or other who has this. This is pretty good writing. Beckett, Adams. They're struggling pitifully to win back those male votes. The right doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of its own predicament and doesn't have any plan to Fix it. And they point out that women. Young women vote more than young men. So it's probably a bigger problem for Republicans than it is even for Democrats.

[Jack Armstrong]

That makes sense. Yeah.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you flesh things out or flush things out?

[Co-host/Commentator]

It depends what you're doing. If you want to have more description and thoroughness, you flesh things out. I think. Flush things out. I don't. I don't know what that would refer.

[Jack Armstrong]

To, but if you got birds in a. In a. In a thick. And you're drawn to shoot them, you flush them out.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You absolutely flush them out. Yeah. Okay. And then shoot them dead. Yes. Because birds are evil. Well, they're. They're government drones. If it flies at spies. The Republican Party struggle to retain young female voters was glaringly obvious again last week. Listen to this, would you please? Following the elections in New York, Virginia, New Jersey. Okay, so the whole Zoran Mamdani thing. He won 84% of the vote among women 18 to 29. Now that's ideological capture. Wow. 84% in New Jersey. And this one really caught my eye because Mikey Sherrill was a pretty mediocre candidate, if you follow that race. And Jack Ciarelli was said to be quite a good Republican candidate. He almost won four years ago. Mikey Sheryl won 81% of the vote. Women age 18 to 29, 81% in Virginia, thoroughly mediocre. Governor candidate Abigail Spanberger won 81%. And that scumbag who fantasized about shooting people in the head and watching children die in their arms sold two bullets. J. Jones. He won 76% of young women. That's something that is a huge trend. One more note afterward from Webroot. And that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fascinating.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I promise it's fascinating.

[Jack Armstrong]

I almost did yesterday. Webroot's warning us all this time of year about fake emails, about shipping this and that. I got one from. It said it was from ups. Your package has been delayed or something like that. And I thought what I needed. No, wait a second. I don't even have a package coming. What is this? And yeah, it's easy to fall for that stuff.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I got to repeat what I said yesterday. You thought it was tracking. It turned out to be hacking. Brought to you by Web Road. It rhymes, so you know it's true. Anyway, yeah, there's so much scamming these days, it actually spiked spikes this time of year. That's why it's the time to protect yourself with webroot. Total protection, Real time antivirus, firewall, password manager, even dark web monitoring, vpn. All in one.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Dark Web monitoring alone is worth it. You'll actually know if your info is being traded out there in the Dark Web. That's. That'd be good knowledge to have. Families can protect up to 10 devices and 10 identities with one, you know, whatever you call it, subscription or whatever.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Cover your fanny and protect granny with Webroot.

[Jack Armstrong]

Again, if it rhymes, it's got to be true.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Webroot.comarmstrong that's webroot.com armstrong. You get 60% off, but only through that link. Webroot.com armstrong Life is. Oh, I'm sorry. Live a better digital life With Webroot you can't screw up their big catchphrase. I apologize. So listen to this here, would ya? In the 2024 election, women under 30 favored the lunkhead Kamala Harris over Trump by 17 points. 17 point margin in the midterms. Women in this age group prefer Democrats over Republicans by a 46 point margin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. How are we ever going to get together and have relationships, heterosexual relationships and babies going forward?

[Co-host/Commentator]

My favorite kind. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

If we, if we divide this much along gender lines.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Boy, I'm torn by this next part. You're right. You're 100% right.

[Jack Armstrong]

We've done the. We've talked about this before the polling. You don't have to go back very many years where it was pretty close to men and women tracked with different age groups. Men and women under a certain age is about half each party. Then you get to older than about half each party got more conservative. But now it's a complete split.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right. Right. So here's a real conflict for me. Instead of panic or urgency, common reactions in conservative media and even GOP circles after these kind of electoral drubbings include mockery, disdain, and general disregard. That is correct. You've probably seen it before. Pundits joking and not joking that the 19th Amendment was a mistake. Legislators dismissing the entire block is sad. Childless spinsters. Certain commentators claiming based on electoral results that there is no great enemy of Western civilization than young women.

[Jack Armstrong]

These are all true things.

[Co-host/Commentator]

TV and podcast hosts ridiculing young female voters for being generally stupid.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know about that.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Misguided.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know about stupid.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, misguided and crazed. Yeah, yeah. Indoctrinated. But his point obviously is that the While the Democratic Democratic Party's attempt to reconnect with young men have thus far been deeply stupid and embarrassing, at least they're trying to. And Republicans had better wake up and do the same.

[Jack Armstrong]

Man, AOC could lead quite the army.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Hot army please. Probably wearing like leather boots, thigh highs. I don't know. Goose stepping.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. Crowd. The crowd of followers. Yeah. Like I said about aoc, she's thickening up in her older age.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Wow. That was terrible. And I apologize for it.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was her ticket. So that's how she got on TV in the first place.

[Co-host/Commentator]

All right, here's your homework assignment. I picture her on me wearing short shorts and the boots.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm right. I've said something bad.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You're right. What? What? Young women or young ish women of a conservative bent. How do we start to bring back women to sanity and even moderate politics? Never mind make them into conservatives. Just not communist. Communist Islamists. How do we craft the message? How do we do that? What would you suggest to Republican Party? Drop us a note. [e-mail] [e-mail] I think there's only one choice.

[Jack Armstrong]

You got to get the Marxists out of the schools that are teaching them this stuff.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Amen.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if there's any other way.

[Co-host/Commentator]

True fact.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Any thoughts on that? Like Joe said, Email us more on the way. Stay here.

It is perfectly understandable, I want to emphasize this aircraft does not move a single inch unless both my co captain Michael and myself are absolutely certain it's safe to do. So. Top that off, before I left the house on this trip, my little one has learned the word ice cream. And she made me make sure I promised her to get her ice cream when I get back home from the trip. That being said, nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing unsafe comes up between me, that little girl, her ice cream. Oh, I know you guys probably have some similar plans. Maybe not tonight, but probably tomorrow afternoon. Once we get you up for Raleigh, please feel free to join our Wi Fi and take care of picking out which place you guys are going to get ice cream or shoot your friends and family texts about what you guys doing on the flight. It's going to be short. Should be a really nice day to go flying. We'll get you guys up there safely. Again, thanks so much for your help here in the boarding process. We'll get on our way. Welcome aboard. I kind of like the pilot saying, I got a little girl who I care about and want to take care of, so I'm going to do my best, obviously, as opposed to wondering if they're despondent and thinking, you know, my life is a mess, it's never going to get better.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Muttering passages from the Quran.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, geez, I wasn't gonna go there.

[Co-host/Commentator]

They. There were a couple. That Malaysia Air flight. There were a couple. There was an Egypt Air flight anyway, but that was.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was despondent related and they happened to be Muslim, wasn't it?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right. Yeah, probably. Yeah. What was I going to say? It seemed important. Oh, yeah. You know, I had for A few years of my life when I first started to fly for business, a fear of flying, that was really annoying. And one of the things that helped me, a couple things, but one of them was looking at the pilot and the co pilot and all the flight attendants and thinking they're doing this all day, every day for a paycheck. It's going to be okay. That helped.

[Jack Armstrong]

So when you get on the flight, you should ask the pilot. So you. You and the wife doing okay? How's your health?

[Co-host/Commentator]

This career is rewarding as you'd hoped.

[Jack Armstrong]

You got a gambling problem or anything that's about to sneak up on you? No. Cool.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You ever use the words what's the point anyway?

[Jack Armstrong]

Everybody would be better off if I wasn't here. Have you ever said that? No.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Okay, I'm gonna enjoy the flight. Thanks.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll be an attendee if you need me.

[Co-host/Commentator]

So the spectacular grift that was Black Lives Matter is actually continuing and really interesting information has emerged about the national Black Lives Matter organization and their finances.

[Jack Armstrong]

Want to talk a little bit about Veterans Day? It is Veterans Day today and I don't know if your kids are in school or not, but it is the holiday where we're supposed to anyway, honor our veterans and we will talk a little bit about that later.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Excellent. Looking forward to that.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the original Veterans Day, the end of World War I, which I still find fascinating. Partially the fact that we thought that that was the worst cataclysm that could ever happen on planet Earth and nothing like that would ever happen again. Boy, were we wrong.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Whoops. Yeah, and the fact that Europe is now in a gray zone. A leader just said we're not at war, but we're definitely not at peace.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Okay, we got a lot of stuff to get to. Hope you can stay here. If you missed the segment, get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand.

Some video at Trump, the President of the United States. I shouldn't just call him Trump the President of the United States. It's in this context. I call him Trump all the time. Now I'm going to sneeze. How do you listen to this radio show? I'm all over the place and I'm sneezing.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, this is wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Listen to me.

[Co-host/Commentator]

The rantings of a crazy person.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got bird flu or hoof and mouth disease or just good old fashioned gonorrhea. It's hard to say.

[Co-host/Commentator]

So tries to shoot other men over an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay. Stay tuned.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you blame him? Guy said 4. That's ridiculous.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Don't be messing around when we're talking about chickens.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, let me start over. The President Donald Trump at a number of Veterans Day services that are going on today. My son himself here soon will be at our local cemetery as a boy Scout putting a little American flags on the graves of all the veterans, which I appreciate. My brother is a veteran. My dad too. My brother actually served in war zones several different times and thank God for people who are willing to do that because there's a whole bunch of people that aren't willing to do that, which we'll talk about more in a little bit. Recruitment has been fantastic. We didn't mention this, I don't think just from a week or so ago when the news came out that we the army met its fiscal year 2025 active duty recruitment goal of 61,000 soldiers four months before the year ended four months early, marking a significant turnaround. I'm going to read this whatever this mainstream media explanation of this is marking a significant turnaround after failing to meet goals in previous years. So all of a sudden now you hit the goal four months early. This success is attributed to a combination of new strategies and offering a higher enlistment bonuses along with a renewed public interest in service. What do you think that renewed public interest in service is? Fighting for Joe Biden's America or fighting for Donald Trump's America?

[Co-host/Commentator]

A party and a candidate who seemed ashamed of America. American power, the American place in the.

[Jack Armstrong]

World with a good dose of fighting in Joe Biden's military run by his people or in Trump's military run by his people.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right. The woke social experiment jobs program that is the military as opposed to this is going to be a lean, mean fighting machine, a force for good in the world.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, I don't want to get off on that. So Veterans Day today, November 11th, established because of this day in 1918, was the end of World War I. Now, if you've, if you're a fan of World War I or seen any of the movies, it is horrifying to know that while a number of leaders on both sides knew the war was going to end, they still tried to fight one more battle so that they could get little more credit with their home country for having taken another hill or whatever. With young men dying and having their arms blown off completely needlessly in a vanity project by people who didn't have to risk their skin. That's the sort of thing that makes pacifists pacifists. Pacifists are wrong and I'm a long way from a pacifist. But there is a great history military throughout the world of meaningless gestures that make men leaders feel good by wasting the lives of young men. And I find it horrifying. Absolutely horrifying. Bothers me a lot that that happens. Thank God that our culture is not like that to a great extent like similar cultures have been. And I bring all that up to get to these numbers with all that being known. Recent Gallup International polls. Gallup pretty much the gold standard of polling organizations in the world. Asking whether or not adults globally would be willing to fight for their country. Interesting question on Veterans Day. Overall for planet Earth, just over half of adults would be willing to fight for their country. The most interesting thing is that's a decrease of more than 10 points in the last decade. Kind of interesting right there. 10 point drop is not insignificant. Happened in a decade from over 60% of adults who'd be willing to fight for the country down to 50%. I just wonder if that's a trend line that will continue that direction in the next 10 years and what that means.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I think it probably will continue in that direction. How far it goes, I don't know. But I'm not shocked by that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why?

[Co-host/Commentator]

There has been a concerted effort by some of the most powerful countries on earth to sow the seeds of cynicism and, and internal conflict in a lot of countries. It's worked to some extent in the United States. Even Russia and China are both intensely interested in having us at each other's throats all the time. You can read the, the reports they've written and the studies they've done and the experts that they consult to do that. It's a deliberate strategy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. The reason I brought version, the reason I brought up that whole idea of, you know, guys who are at the top of the hill with binoculars ordering young men to their deaths for vanity projects that happens in other countries. Maybe more people are aware of that phenomenon around the world than they used to be. Like it's not a United States problem. Is a problem with lots of countries though, throughout history, I don't know, I have no idea. But break it down by region. Highest willingness to fight for your country in West West Asia, 77% in West Asia said they'd be willing to fight for their country. In the Middle east it's 73%. So we're talking three quarters. India 76. So all of those areas, by the way, that's like half the world population there. All of those areas, 3/4 willing to die for the country. The lowest, very lowest. EU at 32%, United States at 41%, Canada at 34. So EU and Canada both down at a third. The United States at least up at 41. Closer to the world average. Yeah, so you've got civilizations that are proud of themselves, believe in themselves, are willing to defend themselves. And then you got civilizations who spend all their time hating themselves, criticizing themselves.

[Co-host/Commentator]

And it's not surprising that people are.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not willing to die for those civilizations.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, yeah, well, and it's just, it's a symptom, I think of extended long term comfort. If you live in a tough neighborhood where you have to defend yourself with your fists semi regularly, you're ready to do that. If you've lived in wealth and comfort your entire life, you see no reason to fight for your country. How would that happen? What are you talking about anyway? Well that's a real Video games in which I pretend to fight for my country.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a real lack of perspective. Obviously, I think you're right. But you could, you could easily think it should be flipped around. Things are so good here. We know how bad it can be by looking at you all over there, you and your s hole countries. We don't want it to be like that. So I'm very willing to fight to hang on to this.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right? Yeah, you would think that, but especially if you have indoctrination factories in your government schools where they're being taught to hate their own country. You know, you've said many times, has there ever been a society that does this? Has there ever been the experiment run where you teach your youngsters to despise their own culture? Well, this is definitely one of the results you would get. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

To be ashamed of their own culture. Right.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Why would I fight for a country that's like the worst country on Earth, man. It's the most racist country on earth, as they said back in the Black Lives Matter days. And the internal finances of the Black Lives Matter organization are coming out. We'll tell you about that next segment.

[Jack Armstrong]

So it doesn't seem like much of a mystery to me. If you're going to look at those numbers in the globe over time, which societies are going to be running the planet 100 years from now? The ones where three quarters of their people are willing to fight for their country or the ones where a third of their people are willing to fight for their lifestyle?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is not very complicated. China. In China on this Veterans Day, they go to the movie theater and watch movies and stand up and cheer loudly. I've read about this in a bunch of different ways. Movies where they're killing Americans or killing Europeans or whatever. We put out movies explaining how we're bad countries, we're a bad country.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. It's just.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's astounding to me.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, it is. Heard Victor Davis Hansen talking the other day, the great sage of Central California and the Hoover Institution talking about, and I'm paraphrasing here, but you know, as a variation on the idea that you may not be interested in politics, politics is interested in you. And you might not believe in warfare, but warfare sure believes in you and your fat, rich society. With all your stuff, you can disavow military preparedness and military strength all day long. Military strength is going to come find you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. The good news is recruitment goals met. People feeling better about this country anyway, probably can't turn Europe or Canada around, but feeling better about this country, at least as of today, and a shout out to everyone who is a veteran who's willing to sign up for that project.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, defaming your civilization.

[Jack Armstrong]

Unbelievable. That's quite a gap. Three quarters versus 30%. Europe versus Asia.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Wow. Boy. And you've got the EU and Canada that have existed as the pampered pets of the United States military might for a long time. They really were really can't even picture fighting to defend themselves. Sad.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is something. Yep.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Speaking of sad, Jimmy Kimmel's wife is angry all the time and Black Lives Matter.

[Jack Armstrong]

Turns out it was a grift.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Who knew? Well, we did and we said so.

[Jack Armstrong]

But anyway, I've heard that Jimmy Kimmel's wife story. I want to talk about that all on the way. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Day, I'm immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put him in power.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it's really hard.

[Lenovo Advertiser]

And my.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's.

[Joe Getty]

I wish I could, like, deprogram myself in some way, but I. I get really angry. And I sent. I've sent many emails to family, like.

[Lenovo Advertiser]

Right before the election, saying, I'm begging.

[Joe Getty]

You, here's the 10 reasons not to.

[Jack Armstrong]

Vote for this guy.

[Lenovo Advertiser]

Please don't. And I either got ignored by 90% of them or got truly insane responses from a few.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's definitely caused a strain. I've definitely pulled in closer with the.

[Joe Getty]

Family that I feel more aligned with, and I hate that this has happened. You know, it feels silly.

[Announcer]

You know, part of me goes, don't.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let politics get in the way. But to me, this isn't politics.

[Joe Getty]

It's truly values, and we just were not aligned anymore.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, it's literally politics.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Commentator]

She said she felt deeply betrayed by relatives who backed President Trump, saying their vote was effectively a vote against her husband and family.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's an interesting way to look at it. This gets to the whole, we think they're wrong, they think we're evil thing. Well, you can't sit down with people you think are evil. I can sit down with people I think are wrong. I don't want to talk about politics with you because I think you're wrong. And we're never going to agree, but I don't think you're evil. So you being at Thanksgiving or whatever doesn't bother me, but how about her? I'd send them all a list of 10 reasons not to vote for Trump, and some of them didn't even respond. Yeah, Yeah. I love relatives just sending me emails out of nowhere. Here's the 10 reasons not to vote a certain way. Shut the hell up. Who asked you?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Well, and she implies that she ordered them not to vote for Trump.

[Jack Armstrong]

Shut up.

[Co-host/Commentator]

There's something so. Oh, my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's so annoying. Good Lord.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm happy not to be with you at Thanksgiving. Trust me, if this is the way you're going to be. Good Lord.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. Severing all those family relationships. Way to get your priorities straight, sweetheart. And it's not about politics yet, is it? Is. You've just become a mad woman about politics. Anyway, we all remember the name Patrice Colors, right? Black Lives Matter co founder. We're trained Marxists, she said in that famous interview. And then the media ignored the fact that they're Marxists during virtually their entire reign of terror over corporate America. According to the latest tax returns obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, she resigned in 2021. But the charity suffered from the excesses of her tenure well into 2023. Now, Under Color's leadership, Black Lives Matter Global Network foundation doled out massive contracts to her friends and family. They purchased a $6 million mansion in LA in 2020, financed the purchase of an $8 million mansion in Canada in 2021. Wow. By the end of its fiscal 2020 three year tax form show, Black Lives Matter saw the $80 million windfall it raked in during the George Floyd riots from idiot corporations that were just desperate to be on the right side of this. That $80 million turned into $29 million in three years as it hemorrhaged cash, fulfilling lingering contractual obligations to Color's associates. For instance, Damon Turner, Colors baby daddy, whose art firm, Trapheels, received $780,000 in 2023. Okay, 780 grand. Despite performing no work for the charity that year.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we know people personally who lost their careers for saying all lives that crazy, period. You know who doesn't think Black Lives Matter? Those people who spent all that money on their houses and their cars and their lifestyle. They don't care about black lives.

[Co-host/Commentator]

God, care about money more.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's quite the situation.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Other staffers from the Colors here received massive payouts on their way out of Black Lives Matter. Former BLM director of operations Raymond Howard in a consulting firm run by his sister received a $1.1 million payment in the group's 2023 fiscal year. As they went out the door, Group also disclosed two separate six figure settlement agreements to unnamed former employees in its financial statements. One BLM board member received $400,000 as part of one settlement agreement. Another unnamed former employee got 335. And another, they just said it was confidential, HR and legal matters. And what the hell do they care about? So it's just a grift. So they don't mind making payouts.

[Jack Armstrong]

So there are a number of organizations, including a church near me, that I see Black Lives Matter signs all the time. This church, their front, like when you pull into their driveway, their big, you know the name of their church right underneath that big wooden sign, Black Lives Matter. So what would you do if you.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Were.

[Jack Armstrong]

On their side of this argument? You believe black men are being hunted down by white racist cops, et cetera, et cetera. You believe in that idea that raised the money in the first place? What would you do? I mean, that's a pretty good phrase, Black Lives Matter.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Like, when I see it, I just, I roll my eyes and think, nice having a sign up by a bunch of thieves, Marxist thieves, which is a repetitive. What would you do, though? I mean, the phrase is too good to abandon.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, well, they're still trying to do their thing. They're running large deficits right now as they spend money like crazy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, have they. Have they weeded out all the thieves?

[Co-host/Commentator]

No, I don't think so. Again, we 2023 is the most recent records we have. But like Paul Colors, Patrice Culler's brother received 200 grand in 2023 as Black Lives Matter's head of security and his company, Black Ties LLC, earned an additional $1.6 million providing professional security services for the charity.

[Jack Armstrong]

Isn't that an interesting statement about human nature? Because I assume they were really into this when it started, the fact that black men were dying at the hands of white racist cops. And then very quickly checks start rolling in and you very quickly abandon your concern about that and decide, I need a $6 million house. That's something about human nature.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. And they're suing the Tides foundation, the left wing dark money giant the lawsuit led. Smart alleges Tides refused to hand back the more than $33 million it raised on behalf of Black Lives Matter in 2020. Tides says it has the ultimate control, et cetera. Where there's money, there's theft. And there was a tremendous money amount of money that flowed into that organization. And they were beset by thieves. Well, they were run by thieves.

[Jack Armstrong]

Run by Marxist thieves. But again, that's repetitive.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Funny how Marxists always end up getting rich.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of the great grifts of all time, that whole organization. If you missed a segment of our show, get the podc Armstrong and Getty on Demand.
