Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. There's a $300 billion investment fund. Who cares where the money comes from if it doesn't come from the United States? I get that, of course it shouldn't, but it shouldn't come from anybody. I mean, when we recovered Germany and Japan, the Nazis weren't in charge, the Japanese imperialists weren't in charge. Here, the Iranians in charge. The killers and thugs are still in charge. They're going to take that money and recover everything. Angry General Jack Keane on Fox News there. Keen's got the husky eyes. You ever notice that? He's got eyes like a husky dog. Never trust anybody with the husky eyes. All right, Rule of thumb. So he's blasting the agreement, as many people have. Left, right, center, up, down, forward, backward.
- [03:44]
Joe Getty
A lot of people on Fox even blasting it. And so yesterday we, we played a lot of clips from that press conference where Trump was talking, and he had Witkoff, the negotiator, over one shoulder there in France and Marco Rubio over the other shoulder. And maybe I'm reading into Marco Rubio's, but he really. Because I feel like I recognized that face because I've been in. It's not, not just bored, but like things like where I'm listening to a boss talk or something like that where I'm a combination of angry and depressed that I just want to either scream or run out of the room.
- [04:23]
Jack Armstrong
You're Sangri. You're sad and angry. Yes.
- [04:25]
Joe Getty
Just like demoralized. And that's what he looked like. And I don't, I don't know if any of this behind the scenes politics matters at all. Trump actually made the joke yesterday of, Yeah, I sent J.D. vance out. So if it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm going to blame him. I don't know if that's actually going on. Like, if Trump has maybe decided Marco is the next iteration of Republican presidents and he's throwing J.D. under the bus. But either way, they sent J.D. vance out to the White House press room today to try to explain this whole thing.
- [05:01]
Jack Armstrong
One more comment, Marco. You could read his face. I've betrayed everything I believe in for this gig, and I have no idea what to do. Meanwhile, Lutnick was shucking and jiving and laughing at all of Trump's jokes. And all you could tell who was on board and who wasn't. I thought it was very revealing.
- [05:19]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Books will be written about this and we'll, we'll learn what they're actually thinking, I suppose. But so as I've watched some of this during the commercial breaks, JD Vance taking questions, explaining the MoU that has been received poorly by everyone. Wall Street Journal, Fox, New York Post, obviously, New York Times, Washington Post crowd, everybody, everybody thinking it's a terrible deal and that we're given Iran, you know, a path to a nuclear weapon. Money cost us a bunch of money. They now know they can close the straight Hormuz on a whim and nobody can do anything about it, just, etc.
- [05:57]
Jack Armstrong
Etc. And before I interrupted you, you're saying they sent JD advance out to explain it. Let's start with 62 and go from there. Michael.
- [06:04]
Michael (Expert/Analyst)
As you all know, the part of the peace plan, the part of this MOU that I think have been most misrepresented by certain parts of the media, is the idea that the Iranians get all these benefits. You will hear things about $300 billion or billion or this or that number of money or amount of money. And the simple fact is that the only way the Iranians get any of those resources, not a single penny, by the way, from the United States of America under any circumstances, but the only way that they would ever get any benefit of the bargain is if they comply fully and change their behavior. And so you really have a win win situation for the United States of America. If the Iranians don't change their behavior, their military and their nuclear program is still destroyed.
- [06:47]
Joe Getty
Maybe he's about to explain this and somebody asked the question. But my question would be, doesn't the Strait of Hormuz open on Friday and they immediately start making money? If they immediately start getting revenue and the agreement, they haven't done anything with the nuclear weapons yet, then what you said doesn't make sense.
- [07:06]
Jack Armstrong
No, they get that revenue in return for opening the strait, period, which is where we were before the war. Right. But JD Goes on.
- [07:16]
Michael (Expert/Analyst)
The interesting thing about their system, and I think it's important for the American people to appreciate this point in particular, is that there are real divisions within their country about how exactly to proceed. And what we've seen over the last couple of months, is that the pragmatists within the Iranian system, the people who really do want to transform their relationship with the Middle east and with the world, those people are winning the argument. The United States wants those people to win the argument. The United States wants to have a better relationship. But in order for that to happen, the Iranians have to perform. And if they don't perform, as we've said before, they don't get any of
- [07:53]
Joe Getty
the benefits of the bargains that might end up being this story is that the Trump administration listened to the people that they wanted to be in charge, whether they were in charge or not.
- [08:04]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I would say if I was there and he was taking questions, I'd say, all right, J.D. devil's advocate here. They are smart guys and they understand at this point they can't beat the US Militarily. So what they're going to do is try very hard to come off as reasonable and worthy of negotiating with. And as soon as you call off the dogs and you have these so called negotiations will degenerate into lying and obfuscation and foot dragging and cheating like they have every single time. Why would that not happen this time? Well, and I just, I get to that.
- [08:38]
Joe Getty
You know, back to what he said previously, the order of do you allow us to take the enriched uranium or destroy the rest of your nuclear program or all these sorts of things, do those happen before they get money or not? JD says yes. Clearly not true though. I mean it just when the straight open money. Yeah, well, different money. But who cares what money it was or where it comes from? Okay, the fund isn't. That money isn't going to go to him. But when the straits open and they start making money again, they're a functioning country again.
- [09:11]
Jack Armstrong
Right? Right. I'm accusing him of it's, I can't remember what logical fallacy it is, but he's answering your question with the answer to a different question. Let's skip to 65.
- [09:22]
Startpage Advertiser
Michael, do you think that the current Iranian leadership recognizes the leverage that the US Holds over itself economically and militarily enough to actually go forth with fundamentally changing their behavior over the long term and about things?
- [09:37]
Michael (Expert/Analyst)
So I certainly think they recognize the leverage that the United States has over them. We've seen that in a number of our conversations. We've seen that just in their behavior over the last couple of days. They certainly recognize that the United States has great leverage. Will that ultimately lead to a change in behavior? I don't know. You know, I've seen skeptics of the deal people say the Iranians will never change their behavior. Well, maybe that's true and if so, they don't get any of the benefits of the bargain. But isn't it worth trying to, isn't it worth seeing whether this Incredibly weakened position that the President of the United States has put the Iranians under. Whether that motivates them to change their behavior not just vis a vis the west, but vis a vis the Middle East.
- [10:15]
Joe Getty
You know, to be fair, the press corps was not skeptical like this. When Obama did the jcpoa, which the Iranians lied about and didn't stop. It was in the JCPO one of the lines. There was line number one, actually, number one was, we will stop trying to get a nuclear weapon. They lied about that and they continued trying to get a nuclear weapon the whole time. And they wouldn't let inspectors in and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But the press corps was not as skeptical when Obama announced.
- [10:43]
Jack Armstrong
They're fawning. Yeah, right. Yeah. Peace in our time. All right, go ahead. Next clip. Michael.
- [10:49]
Michael (Expert/Analyst)
But I tend to think that you should trust the people who know the Iranians the best and who have the most to lose. What are the Gulf Arab states saying about this deal? What are they saying about this deal compared to the JCPOA in 2015? This is the Obama nuclear deal. Well, back then, they hated that deal. They felt like it empowered the Iranians to be bad actors across the region. And of course, that's exactly what happened. They were right about that. What are they saying about the president's peace deal? They're saying this is an amazingly transformative thing for the region because either way, we and the broader region win, Iran is weakened, their nuclear program destroyed, their economy in desperate straits. And if they change their behavior, big things are going to happen for Iran and for the world. If they don't, no skin off our backs. Either way, we win. And that's the way the president has set up this deal.
- [11:43]
Joe Getty
I can't speak to that because I don't know if that's true or not. Do is Saudi Arabia, uae, Kuwait. Are they all happy with this deal? I don't. I don't know that JD Saying they
- [11:55]
Jack Armstrong
are the actually looking for coverage of that. And I can't really find it.
- [12:02]
Joe Getty
The flippant comment that Trump has made also that he said no skin of our off our nose. JD Said no skin up our backs if they don't follow through. It's too flippant for me that if they're not following through, part means they're trying to get a nuclear weapon and our attempt to stop them hasn't worked. So that is some skin off our nose or back or both. Right?
- [12:25]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah. So at the start of the war, you may recall Marco Rubio, the aforementioned miserable person whose wishes are being ignored at the moment described the destruction of Iran's ballistic missiles as one of the key goals of the war. That has absolutely not been achieved yet. We've damaged it, but we have not achieved it. This is longish, but here's JD Vance addressing that question. 67 Michael, can you help us understand
- [12:56]
Lingokids Parent 1
President Trump's shift on his stance for Iran's ballistic missile program? Initially it was a key objective to dismantle it. Yesterday he said it would only be fair if they had some, if the countries around Iran also had some. So when and why did that change and will the final agreement have any restrictions on these missiles?
- [13:18]
Michael (Expert/Analyst)
So we destroyed a substantial number of their ballistic missiles and their, excuse me, ballistic missile launchers themselves. It's not just the bullets, but it's the actual gun. And that's what we were extremely effective at in destroying during the last three months of the campaign. All the president said yesterday is that of course countries don't give up the right of self defense. Israel doesn't give up the right of self defense. If Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel, the Iranians don't give up the right of self defense in their country. But we do expect that as part of the final deal, they are not going to be able to build the kind of missiles that can broadly threaten the entire world. And that's what the President United States said yesterday. And look, I mean, it's very simple. You can't tell a country whether Israel or Iran, they're not allowed to have any self defense. That's not what the President has asked, that's not what the president has requested. But as part of the final deal, what we want to see is Iran not funding regional instability, funding regional terrorism, and of course try to rebuild their nuclear weapons program. That's the main thing. The nuclear weapons program is destroyed. It is gone. If the Iranians decided tomorrow to build a nuclear weapon, they simply don't have the capacity in order to do that. What we're trying to ensure is they don't rebuild that capacity not just a year from now, two years from now, but many, many years from now, so that our children never have to worry about a state sponsor of terrorism having a nuclear weapon.
- [14:40]
Joe Getty
So here's my take on it. And then I want to see what Joe says about this on the rocket part at beginning. I think that is a blatant putting lipstick on a pig of Iran dictating the terms to us of what deal they'd be willing to accept and us saying okay, and JD's trying to spin it as, hey, everybody gets to have rockets. Why would we tell Israel they can have a rockets and Iran they can't? That wouldn't be fair. Is nuts.
- [15:09]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. That is unprecedented. Unprecedented in the history of winning wars. The Victoria tells the vanquished what self defense they are allowed to have and in what form and for how long and how it will evolve.
- [15:24]
Joe Getty
Here's the difference. If I'm a felon and I have a history of using firearms, you know, to, to hurt people or whatever, I'm not allowed to have a gun. J.D. vance is saying, well, people can have guns. He can have a gun. He can have a gun.
- [15:39]
America 250 Announcer
Yeah.
- [15:40]
Joe Getty
Well, one guy has never committed a crime and used it offensively. Only defensively. One guy uses it offensive leave regularly.
- [15:48]
Jack Armstrong
Right.
- [15:48]
Joe Getty
There's a difference.
- [15:50]
Jack Armstrong
Of course. Yeah. I think they're desperately searching for a rationale. Yeah.
- [15:55]
Joe Getty
And we're pretending that Iran has nothing to do with Hezbollah and Hamas who attacked Israel. Remember Hamas's attack on Israel? Remember that October 7th?
- [16:05]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
- [16:05]
Joe Getty
That this is the regime that you say, well, they get to have rockets. They have every right to self defense, just like any other country. That's crazy.
- [16:14]
Jack Armstrong
My reaction to JD Screed was putting that part aside, which is difficult if you are sincere and there is a serious repercussion waiting in the wings if they violate any of that. Okay, sounds good. But that's the entire question and always has been with Iran. All right, next segment. Jack, do you want to hear Ukraine bombards Moscow with one of the biggest drone attacks of the war? Or the one surprising mistake everyone makes with pancakes and it's easy to fix.
- [16:46]
Joe Getty
I didn't know I was making any mistakes with pancakes other than eating too many.
- [16:52]

Joe Getty
day who wasn't on board with chat bots yesterday, and I said, oh, my God, you gotta. It's fantastic. And they just didn't want to get into the world of AI and everything. And I was. Joe John joined in earlier than I did. I was slow to adopt it, but, God, I love it. Anyway, I asked chat GPT, what's the reaction been from the Gulf states on this MoU? And yes, the reaction from Mo. As JD Vance just said, the reaction from most Arab Gulf states has been notably positive or at least cautiously supportive. But Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE have been so worried about the. The war expanding and devastating the entire Gulf that they're happy that this is happening, even though they're still somewhat skeptical. But definitely all kinds of positive noises around our Gulf allies.
- [21:13]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I. I would take that with a grain of Middle Eastern sand, too, because if you openly contradict Trump, his vengeance will come down upon you, whether you're Emmanuel Macron or anybody else in NATO or Vladimir Zolinsky, Volodymyr Zelensky or whomever. So, yeah, grain of salt, we'll have to see. Speaking of Zelensky, one of those headlines, I hit you with Ukraine bombards Moscow with one of the biggest drone attacks of the war. Shut down the capital's airport for several hours. Blew the bejesus out of an oil refinery.
- [21:46]
Joe Getty
Awesome.
- [21:47]
Jack Armstrong
On the outcome, outskirts of Moscow hit several residential buildings, which of course is terribly ugly, but you know, they're trying to bring the hurt home to Russians since, as I stated yesterday, this has become a war of punishment and cruelty toward Ukrainians by Putin, who is now just murdering civilians wherever you can find them. Absolutely disgusting. And in a shocking transition that will endear us to no one. The one surprising mistake everyone makes with pancakes. And it's quite the transition. We could wait until after the break. I can't eat pancakes anymore.

Just didn't have a good experience so I wrote a bad review. I didn't think nothing of it until she reminded me of it. She assaulted me, touched my torso three times. She knocked the phone out of my hand and pretty much destroyed the back of it.

Oh, torso toucher. How much for four times?

We're Gonna beat him down over it. We'll touch his door or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's see in the cell phone video, which I keep trying to watch, but it's so fraught with pop up ads and crap, I never get through it. Here, here's some of the video. She says, I'm mad because I busted my ass at something and you think you're gonna run it into the ground? He says, obviously you have some mental issues that would cause you to get mad that I left the review on your restaurant. Mallory, that's the woman's name, says three times. Okay, it was a bitch move. He says, I can do whatever I want. You shouldn't, though. It would be in your best interest not to. Do you understand? What are you gonna do about it? You'll find out soon enough.
- [26:40]
Joe Getty
You ever had your torso touched three times?
- [26:43]
Jack Armstrong
Because I'll touch it. And the owner's husband, Ryan shows up to the scene. The cell phone video shows the owner inching closer to Smith. She assaulted me, touched my torso three times, Smith said. And she knocked the phone out of my hand, as we heard, blah, blah, blah. The woman was arrested Thursday on charges of harassment, criminal mischief. Her husband Ryan, also arrested for harassment. They've since been released from jail.
- [27:06]
Joe Getty
No, see, this is.
- [27:08]
Jack Armstrong
Who's the a hole here? Isn't that the point of this sort of story? Right?
- [27:13]
Joe Getty
What is that thing?
- [27:14]
Jack Armstrong
A M I V, A I T
- [27:17]
Joe Getty
A. Yeah,
- [27:21]
Jack Armstrong
I need to know more about why did she say three times? So was he like, just hammering this business in an unjustified fashion?
- [27:30]
Joe Getty
Well, did he go three times?
- [27:31]
Jack Armstrong
Their business, which they'd risked their time, money and effort into building.
- [27:35]
Joe Getty
Well, what was his complaint? Does the place suck?
- [27:38]
Jack Armstrong
Well, they didn't say in this crappy, crappy news article. All the questions everybody has are unaddressed in this stinking pile of this cone full of bad journalism.
- [27:51]
Joe Getty
Well, I feel like you're so angry that if the writer was here, you touched their torso multiple times.
- [27:55]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, I know. How I know? Please. I kick their cell phone right under the car.
- [28:01]
Joe Getty
How bad was that ice cream? Well, yeah, it all. It's. If the guy is only trying to hurt your business, that sucks. I wouldn't fight him over it, but I'd be mad. But you get to be unhappy with a ice cream store for whatever reason, you're not happy about an ice cream store.
- [28:21]
Jack Armstrong
Well, you're arguing a hypothetical case because we don't know what happened. Thanks to this two scoops of idiocy masquerading as A news story. This is just terrible.
- [28:34]
Joe Getty
Did it have the sprinkles of malevolence on top? We don't know.
- [28:39]
Jack Armstrong
Right, right. Or the sincere sauce of dissatisfaction? The. The fudge of befuddlement. I'm gonna stop now.
- [28:50]
Joe Getty
So if you could get. So there's a. Are you familiar with Cold Stone Creamery?
- [28:55]
Jack Armstrong
Sure. Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
- [28:58]
Joe Getty
I've never had one of their signature things, have you. Are you familiar with those?
- [29:03]
Jack Armstrong
They've got years and years and years.
- [29:05]
Joe Getty
Oh, my God, they're so over the top. I mean, they're way over the top. They're like 1300 calories. And there's different versions. You can get like a peanut butter one and it's got peanut butter cups and chunks and thought and then just. It's just a. I've always wanted to get one and I ever have. I was telling the kids the other day, because we got a new one not far from us, that someday I'm gonna get one, but I gotta get it like middle of the day and not eat anything else that day to like, you know, come close to breaking even for the day.
- [29:33]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, and there's nothing that. Like a giant dish of ice cream to make you feel like getting in
- [29:37]
Joe Getty
the gym or doing anything other. Hurling yourself in front of a bus.
- [29:43]
Jack Armstrong
Right. Just lying around moaning. So.
- [29:48]
Joe Getty
But I. I don't know. Well, okay, yeah, you're right. We need more details to make any comments on this.
- [29:53]
Jack Armstrong
Right, Right. It's very frustrating. Very crappy. So you got a golden stack of pancakes, slick with butter, dripping with syrup. It's one of the best breakfast you can have on a weekend. I need. You know what? I just gotta have a cheat day. I will take an extra long power walk. I will lift some weights. I gotta have a stack of pancakes. I'm denying myself.
- [30:18]
Joe Getty
So good.
- [30:19]
Jack Armstrong
But Jack, not all those pancakes reach those burnished heights you're looking for. Note to self, use the term burnished more. Whatever it means. Some are flat, some are pale and spongy. Some burn on the outside and stay
- [30:33]
Joe Getty
raw in the middle.
- [30:37]
Jack Armstrong
The secret to consistently perfect pancakes lies in a few simple but crucial moves.
- [30:42]
Joe Getty
I've never been able to make great pancakes. I mean, because a pretty good pancake, still pretty darn good, especially with butter and syrup.
- [30:48]
Jack Armstrong
Sure.
- [30:48]
Joe Getty
But I've never made great pancakes.
- [30:50]
Jack Armstrong
Here it is. I'm gonna tell you how. There's an old chestnut that I'd never heard before. That the first pancake is for the dog.
- [30:58]
Joe Getty
Oh, that's a good one.
- [31:00]
Jack Armstrong
That's because you haven't let the batter rest. So the first few pancakes turn out too thin with the batter running all over the pan. Slight and run. Letting the batter rest fixes this, giving the flour time to hydrate and a better chance to thicken.
- [31:18]
Joe Getty
Okay.
- [31:19]
Jack Armstrong
It also lets the leaveners baking soda baking powder fully dissolve and disperse so you get an even rise. Sweet spot. Now you're gonna have to hold off for a minute. 10 to 30 minutes on the counter.
- [31:30]
Joe Getty
Oh, I've never done that. Okay. So that's, that's the key.
- [31:33]
Jack Armstrong
But the batter will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
- [31:39]
Joe Getty
Make your batter not making pancake mixed eat pancakes two days from now.
- [31:43]
Jack Armstrong
Or, or you know the sweet spot. 10 to 30 minutes on the counter.
- [31:47]
Joe Getty
Yeah.
- [31:47]
Jack Armstrong
So that's one second. One is you're not using acid like buttermilk. A great pancake batter is a chemistry equation. Acid like buttermilk, lemon juice or vinegar plus a base baking soda equals lift. When baking soda comes into contact with an acidic ingredient, it produces carbon dioxide bubbles. And those bubbles are what make the pancakes light and fluffy. Without the acid in the batter, the baking soda is inert. You're left wondering why your pancakes came out dense.
- [32:17]
Joe Getty
Okay, I might try that this weekend.
- [32:21]
Jack Armstrong
And yes, you can make pancakes with water instead of milk, which Judy and I tried a fair amount when we were trying to lose weight. Wait, but don't. The fat and protein and milk, also the butter and the eggs is part what part of what makes a pancake. Pancake. Yep. Boy, pancakes are good. I just got these pancakes from a restaurant called Pancakes Egg Cetera.

Ryan Reynolds
It's kind of a play on words.
- [32:43]
Joe Getty
Thank you, Mitt.
- [32:44]
Jack Armstrong
Natural comedian Mitt Romney.
- [32:51]
Joe Getty
So, once again, in the sort of jarring tradition transition that endears us to no one, let's go back to the mou.
- [33:02]
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Wow.
- [33:03]
Joe Getty
From ice cream.
- [33:05]
Jack Armstrong
This is the bacon of conflict.
- [33:09]
Joe Getty
It would appear, doing a little research on Chat GPT, that what JD Vance said is true. The Gulf states have praised this deal that the Trump team has put together around Iran. And they did not like the JCPOA under Obama. I've got a bunch of quotes from various Gulf states. So they did not like the JCPOA. They do like this deal. What J.D. vance said is accurate there with the caveat Joe pointed out that maybe the Gulf states are saying nice things about this because they realize if you badmouth Trump's plan, he's going to really, really make your life difficult.
- [33:47]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I came across a story recently and I've got it. Around here somewhere. But it'd take too long to find this conservative organization which has been beloved by people on the right side of the aisle for many, many, many years. They came out. Oh, there it is. Damn, I found it. They came out. The Liberty justice center came out against Trump's tariffs. They sued on behalf of a bunch of businesses and they won. And all of their donors fled them. And they've gone into a defensive crouch because Trump now their Persona non grata because they went up against Trump and it's done them terrible, terrible damage doing, from a free market perspective, exactly the right thing. So, yeah, Trump's vengeance is terrible. And I just. It's like the hostage saying, no, I'm being treated well. When I hear the Gulf states say they like the agreement, I don't know whether to take them seriously or not. I just don't.
- [34:47]
Joe Getty
I don't know how. Well, I guess I should know by now. It's been a decade of Trump. Trump moves the goalposts a lot, which might be just smart. Maybe that's what business guys are used to doing. Here's what I wanted to do. Here's where we are today on that effort. What's the best? It's just like investing. Doesn't matter what the stock was a month ago or a year ago. You don't stick with it, hoping it gets back to there.
- [35:14]
Jack Armstrong
What would you buy? I bought it at 100. No, wrong.
- [35:18]
Joe Getty
Would you buy it today at this price? Yes or no is the only question. And that might be the way he looks at every single deal, but it's. It's amazing to have said at one point, unconditional surrender, have those words come out of your mouth, and then have the agreement that apparently is going to be the thing now, where they get to keep their rockets, they get to enrich some uranium because they. Wow. We can't tell them not to have a domestic enrichment program. That's not fair. They have violated international rules about trying to get a nuclear weapon for years. They lie. So, yes, because they lied about that, you can deny them a domestic uranium enrichment program, but he's pretending he can't because they're dictating the terms in this war that we apparently lost. But I can't believe he got the words unconditional surrender to come out of his mouth and now is agreeing to this. I would be too embarrassed.
- [36:17]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Two comments. Number one, the first, and this is long. Long bothered me about Trump. I think he doesn't value things. Well, I know he doesn't value various Things the way I do. And so the long term need to keep Iran from getting a nuke has now gotten way small and in the distance compared with the need to open up the straight and get the world economy back going. And that's too much pain. I'll be dead soon. It doesn't matter. You know, that could be his analysis. On the other hand, having thought for several minutes about all the audio we played at JD Vance earlier, there's only one question here. Is he right? Is Trump right that this generation of Iranian leaderships is different and they're actually ready to do business? That's the entire question. If the answer is yes, all this will work beautifully. If the answer is no, this will be an unmitigated disaster.
- [37:15]
Joe Getty
Well, I have a feeling it wasn't an accident that the Wall Street Journal, their big Sunday front page piece was about the new leader of the irgc. I have a feeling they saw this coming. They knew what the chatter was behind the scenes. No, no, no. This new Republican National Guard, Revolutionary Guard, they're different actors. So the Wall Street Journal does a big piece on this guy and didn't. I didn't read it. But from what I understand from what you said in reading about it, they portray him as more hardcore than anybody they've ever had.
- [37:47]
Jack Armstrong
He's very hardcore, at least. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Dedicated to the cause, being Islamism and taking over the world.
- [37:54]
Joe Getty
And I don't know if you can wrap your head around this, but there's a chance he might pretend that he's a new, higher minded, more benevolent type.
- [38:06]
Jack Armstrong
Sure.
- [38:06]
Joe Getty
And then turn out not to actually be.
- [38:09]
Jack Armstrong
Right. Right. So is the hammer poison ready to fall? Well, or is it?
- [38:14]
Joe Getty
You're right. That is the whole question. Is this a different crowd? I think it sounds childish to say about a regime that's been doing what they've been doing for 50 years to say no, no, They've decided that was a bad idea. And it's really cool. JD Said, you know what's cool about this is they've decided it was a bad idea to chant death to America and burn US flags every single day for 50 years. And so now they're gonna be our friends.
- [38:37]
Jack Armstrong
That is cool. Stop smiling. This is serious business. He's got the smile of. And this aluminum siding will lower your bills. It'll beautify your home. Stop smiling so much, J. It's starting to put me off.
- [38:50]
Joe Getty
He says it was a smile. No, the car's supposed to make that noise. Everything's fine. Sign right here.
- [38:55]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah.
- [38:57]
Joe Getty
We'll finish strong.

If you haven't seen any of this, the way they're handling it on like MSN, Ms. now. Oh, it's vomit inducing. Yeah, they're just, they're. They're the combination of the Pope and Jesus and George Washington all coming together
- [42:51]
Jack Armstrong
as the most important.

- [43:25]

- [43:30]
Joe Getty

- [43:36]
Jack Armstrong
Manipulative, phony. Yeah, the.
- [43:38]
Joe Getty
The is like what you'd spend to build a football stadium, an NFL stadium. It's just whatever. Speaking of presidents. So there's been a. A lot of knocking of the new reflecting pool. So Trump redid the pool, the bottom of the pool and everything like that. Now every news channel has got a story about how the water's green. If you own a swimming pool, you've had this happen before. Sometimes the stuff gets out of balance. The water turns green. You put in a couple of pills and it's fine. Again, it's not a big deal.
- [44:11]
Jack Armstrong
No,
- [44:20]
Joe Getty
Me, it's final. I had my pool turn green shortly after I became a pool owner for the first time in my life. He was like, oh, my God. They said, no, it's problem. They throw in a couple of pills and it goes away.
- [44:37]
Jack Armstrong
I remember when Obama used to bring people down to the water and baptize them to save their souls. Oh, no, that was Jesus. Sorry, John.
- [44:46]

Up here's your host for Final Thoughts, Joe Getty.
- [44:48]

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the day. There he is, Michelangelo, pressing the buttons in the control room. Michael, hit it. I guess the Iranians have agreed to
- [44:56]
Joe Getty
put a carpool lane in the straight of Hormuz.
- [44:59]
Jack Armstrong
Diamond lane. Beautiful. Jack, final thought for us.
- [45:04]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Well, the proof will be in the pudding. Is that what they say? Is that the saying?
- [45:10]
Jack Armstrong
The proof is in the pudding? Yes.
- [45:12]
Joe Getty
And the pudding is soon, when they open the Strait of Hormuz and Iran starts getting money and they start negotiating around the nuclear weapons. So we'll know very soon whether this was a good deal or not. It's not like we have to wait a long time.
- [45:24]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Although I disagree in that they might decide to lay low for a month or two months or six months. Which means it was a bad deal.
- [45:31]
Joe Getty
Which means it was a bad deal automatically.
- [45:33]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, but they're not. No.
- [45:35]
Joe Getty
If they're not negotiating in good faith right away, we know it's a bad deal.
- [45:39]
Ryan Reynolds
Deal.
- [45:39]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. You don't think I'll know if they
- [45:41]
Joe Getty
are, Trump's going to come out and say, we've agreed. We've agreed to extend it for 60 more days. Boom. It was a bad deal. If that happened.
- [45:49]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Oh, that's a certainty that will happen. Nothing will be resolved in 60 days.
