Key Themes & Discussion Points

1. The Impact of AI on Jobs and Security

Timestamps: 02:24–10:40

• AI and Job Anxiety:
  • Jack and Joe discuss concerns from college students about AI’s impact on employment. Jack paraphrases Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who claims that the effects on jobs have been less dramatic than feared, though changes will come:
    • “Everything is going to be fine for the foreseeable future, according to Sam Altman of Chat GPT. And why wouldn’t you believe him?” —Jack Armstrong (03:05)
  • The hosts express skepticism, calling Altman’s reassurances naive or deliberately self-serving.
  • Joe Getty jokes about the doomsday scenario of “automated weapon systems wiping out humanity at the behest of their computer overlords.” (03:30)
• AI & Biosecurity Threats:
  • Citing a Wall Street Journal piece, Joe notes how leading AI CEOs (including Sam Altman and Demis Hassabis) are calling for Congressional safeguards to prevent the use of AI in developing biological weapons.
    • Joe reads from the CEOs’ letter on how AI may “erode the knowledge barriers which have historically prevented bad actors from obtaining biological weapons.” (05:57)
  • Jack summarizes: “Any numb nuts can now do it.” (06:33)
  • Regulation suggestions compare synthetic DNA restrictions to how the government controls pseudoephedrine sales to prevent meth manufacturing.
  • Skepticism persists: “That will restrict the number of novel biological weapons that will be unleashed. But it won’t stop it. It can’t.” —Joe Getty (07:25)
• The Limits of Regulation:
  • They debate the futility of regulation in a globalized world:
    • “That only helps in the United States.” —Jack Armstrong (07:33)
    • “If you have enough money, you can get anything.” —Joe Getty (07:56)
  • Historical references to past acts of terrorism underscore the potential magnitude of AI-enhanced threats.

2. Congressional Circus: Dysfunction and Spectacle

Timestamps: 24:50–34:58

• House Comedy and Discord:
  • The episode’s title is referenced as Congressional behavior devolves into “a circus” during a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
    • Marco Rubio is grilled about Trump’s infamous oversized shoe gift—an example of how hearings drift from serious matters.
      • “You couldn’t admit that the shoes the President bought you were too big.” —Jack Armstrong (24:58)
      • “‘We’re talking about shoes. Are you guys kidding me?’” —Joe Getty (25:00)
  • Joe Getty criticizes Congress:
    • “Yesterday was a landmark day in Congress, embarrassing itself.” (25:32)
    • Calls for seriousness on urgent international topics go unheeded as members instead “talk on whatever hot talk radio or cable news item has come up.”
  • Memorable Quote:
    • “Is this the Foreign Affairs Committee or is this like a circus?” (25:04)
  • Procedural chaos: Raphael Kamleger Dove and Rubio clash over transparency, evidence, and decorum—members repeatedly talk over each other and invoke “reclaiming my time.”
• Senate Tomfoolery:
  • Thom Tillis cross-examines a witness:
    • “Did you actually tell Pulte you were going to punch him in the face?” —Sen. Thom Tillis (27:36)
      • “No, sir. I actually said I was going to kick his ass.” —Guest Expert (27:42)
      • “Good. Okay, good. I share the emotion. Thank you.” —Tillis (27:45)
  • Senator Ron Wyden is accused (with comic venom) of “mendaciously slander[ing] the Treasury Building,” dragging even Jeffrey Epstein into the hearing chaos (28:16).

3. Security Scandals: Iranian Tech Smuggling

Timestamps: 19:07–22:38

• Breaking National Security News:
  • Jack and Joe dissect a developing story—Jamshid Gomi, a dual US-Iranian CEO in Orange County, is arrested for shipping encryption and networking equipment to Iran’s government and military sectors.
  • The scale is astonishing:
    • “Over 10 years, he secretly shipped 250 tons of US networking encryption equipment to Iran.” —Jack Armstrong (20:52)
    • Gomi lived in a $35 million Newport Beach mansion while claiming just $20,000 income for U.S. taxes.
  • Black-market dealings, fronts for foreign adversaries, and government oversight failures are all scrutinized, with both hosts expressing astonishment at the lack of detection:
    • “How did he pull this off for so many years without getting caught?” —Joe Getty (20:08)
    • “I go to the bank to get seven grand in cash… and they grill me like I’m Al Capone.” —Joe Getty (22:32)

---

4. Congress as Reality TV: Outbursts, Insults, and the Breakdown of Decorum

Timestamps: 29:27–34:58

• Heated arguments during hearings:
  • “Are you calling me a racist?” —Mark Wayne Mullen (29:33)
  • “Shut up, shut up—it’s my time!” —Al Green (29:53)
  • Fights over whether members are advocating for terrorists, leading to shouts and calls for colleagues to sit down.
  • Armstrong and Getty lament how once “name calling” begins, hearings devolve into endless insult trading rather than fact-based debate.
    • “It’s just two people saying, ‘You liar.’ No, you’re a liar. And that’s right. That’s where you are.” —Jack Armstrong (34:32)

---

5. Pride Month & LGBTQ+ Representation in Politics

Timestamps: 30:27–31:42

• Discussion centers on why the media and political establishment have not celebrated the first openly gay cabinet member in Trump’s administration, despite it being Pride Month.
• The hosts critique the “hardcore leftist Pride Month” for excluding individuals who do not fit a specific narrative:
  • “No biopics or awards… nothing. Because you don’t get highest ranking openly gay fellow in American political history—” —Jack Armstrong (30:54)
  • “It’s a hardcore leftist Pride Month, not gay.” —Joe Getty (31:01)
• Cites recent polling showing eroding support for LGBTQ rights, attributing it to “the attempt to tie every sexual weirdness to gay people.” (31:31)

---

6. Invasive Species & Public Health Risks at the Border

Timestamps: 40:50–44:58

• Return of the Screw Worm:
  • Jack Armstrong discusses the re-emergence of the “New World screw worm” (NWS)—a flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated in the US, now reappearing in Texas.
    • “Flesh eating bacteria, having maggots all over you. That’s not good… If you have any open wounds, stay away from the border.” —Jack Armstrong (40:50, 38:23)
  • The worm targets live flesh, entering via any body opening and threatening livestock and humans alike. Symptoms are described—some too graphic for air.
• Border Security & Diseases:
  • “There are absolutely risks to any population anywhere from unfettered interchange around the world. There are reasons civilizations have borders.” —Joe Getty (44:26)
  • The hosts criticize the media for failing to connect stories of whooping cough outbreaks to the porous border, arguing such links are logical and necessary.

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

What's your message to those college students

[Joe Getty]

who many of them are worried that

[Jack Armstrong]

they won't be able to have jobs because of AI?

[Guest Expert]

Well, I think there will be a lot of jobs in the future. I think that the impact on jobs has been less than many people in our field expected and it doesn't mean that it will always stay the way in the future. I think it's very understandable to feel anxiety about this, but it at least hasn't gone so far like people expected. Jobs may be different, the economy will be different, but this is like an incredible new tool and people are incredibly creative, so they're using it in all sorts of new ways. And I expect that that will really continue and that we're still all going to be, you know, working more than we wish we were for a long time and being very productive and everything

[Jack Armstrong]

is going to be fine for the foreseeable future, according to Sam Altman of Chat GPT. And why wouldn't you believe him?

[Joe Getty]

I feel silly that I was so worried.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know all bub about having to have a universal income because nobody's going to have a job. What a waste of time flapping our jaws. Turns out no need whatsoever. Things are gonna be fine. You heard it there.

[Joe Getty]

Automated weapon systems wiping out humanity at the behest of their computer overlords. All that is silly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sam Altman didn't hear all those boos across the country every time AI was mentioned at any graduation and think I've got a serious PR problem with my investment at all. He just sincerely believes this is going to be good for everyone.

[Joe Getty]

Sure, yeah. Hey, other people might be influenced by the trillions of dollars I've spent already, but not me. I'm Sam Altman. All right? Scam Altman. Believe Elon, we mentioned yesterday that Neil Ferguson had written a piece entitled AI is the Most Dangerous Arms Race in History. It's a rather lengthy, and I haven't read the whole thing, but I was scanning it desperately because his premise is that we really need wise, intelligent regulation of AI so it doesn't spin out of control, while simultaneously we're competing with Xi Jinping and the Communist Chinese who don't have the slightest interest in, like, regulation to keep it safe. And I admit freely, I did not read the whole thing. I didn't have time, but I kept scanning it, like every topic, sentence of every paragraph. All right, Neil, where do you get to the what that would look, look like part? And I never found anything like a prescription and that's, you know. And again, I haven't read the whole thing, so I'm not accusing Neil of being incomplete or anything like that, but I agree something needs to be done. But what? And what about the Chinese? Here's a small clue of the sort of thing that might come down the pike. The Wall Street Journal's writing about how the top AI CEOs, and that's the head guy for Google, whose name is Demis Hassabis, Sam Altman and Dario Amodi all came together in calling for Congress to protect against biological threats posed by AI, specifically biological weapons and that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, remember we read that. I think it was in the New York Times piece about various scientists that are. This is their biggest concern is how easy it would be to build some sort of biological weapon through AI like just a regular person.

[Joe Getty]

So those three guys are among the heavyweight signatories of a letter urging Congress to require safeguards when companies order synthetic DNA and rna, which is a key step in developing certain vaccines and biotech breakthroughs. What they're saying, I actually like this, this, this sentence. That's from the letter. I'll read it to you. AI systems are improving rapidly. And alongside incredible benefits to science and medicine, there is a real possibility that the knowledge barriers which have historically prevented bad actors from obtaining biological weapons will meaningfully erode.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's a meaning. Good way to put what I was just trying to say. Yes, any numb nuts can now do it.

[Joe Getty]

The how to is going to be available to virtually everyone, or at least a hell of a lot of. And so the only thing we can do is carefully screen who gets the building blocks. So you've got to regulate the companies that sell the building blocks. It's like, you know, you can't, you can't order 15 pounds of pseudoephedrine because the Feds know you're going to be making meth. Maybe that's the best we can do.

[Jack Armstrong]

It sounds to me super reassuring.

[Joe Getty]

Is it first thought?

[Jack Armstrong]

It's the only way we've got to go about this. If, if there are six key components to making a biological weapon, you got to make sure the Amazons of the world and everybody else, you know, doesn't sell them to people.

[Joe Getty]

That will restrict the number of novel biological weapons that will be unleashed. But it won't stop it. It can't. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that only helps in the United States.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, my example may not have been perfect, but I mean there are various substances that are just absolutely known. Virtually the only legitim I'm not legitimate. The only use for this is to manufacture drugs or weapons and everybody knows that. But you still get it on the black market. If you have enough money, you can get anything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I remember how troubling that story was we had just a couple of weeks ago. There weren't that many components and it wasn't that difficult to make some pretty awful biological weapons. Wow. So imagine that in the hands of a Ted, Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber when he was running around, if instead of his best he could do at the time, homemade bombs, he was mailing around, he could have made some sort of biological weapon like that, or Al Qaeda or whoever.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. And there have been some. Like the famous terrible ricin attack, or was it attacks on Japanese subways that killed many, many people and anth and the rest of it. I just. It's. It's. It's so worrisome. I remember being so troubled as a teenager. I guess it was when I first became aware that the Anarchists Cookbook was available in various libraries. That taught you how to make bombs and weapons and that sort of thing. Turns out there's just not that many people who want to make bombs and weapons, thank God. But as the Boston Marathon bombing showed us, there are enough to be fairly horrifying. But those are not weapons of mass destruction, primarily. Yeah, I don't. I just, you know, I'm with Neil Ferguson. We need a set of rules and referees. But what rules? And who's the referee?

[Jack Armstrong]

Weapon of mass destruction, but it doesn't have to kill masses. But you wouldn't have to kill very many people with some sort of biological weapon in a New York City subway or a big building in LA or whatever to really cause a panic.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, like a huge. It'd be the only thing we're talking about in the whole country for days, maybe weeks.

[Joe Getty]

Mm.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. If all of a sudden eight people died in an elevator in a big building in. In LA because of something somebody was able to make online and wondering who it was and where it came from and where do they hit next. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

And there's just so many different sorts of bad actors who would benefit from that sort of thing, whether it's, you know, Islamists or anarchists or even somebody who just wants to short the stock market. Mm. Right. I mean, yeah, maybe I'm bent to evil, but I can think of all sorts of horrible motivations for that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. There's so many angles to this whole AI thing. So you've got the job thing that Sam Altman, as a liar is claiming isn't going to be a problem, but is clearly going to be a problem. And he got all the other stuff

[Joe Getty]

all.

[Jack Armstrong]

All tied into the whole AI thing. And just the doomers. I'm a. I'm so a doomer around AI because they all don't have to come bad. Just one of them has to turn out to be a real problem for it to be. Well, a real problem.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. I Want to turn much more positive about inventiveness and bring you a great story from American history. After a quick word from our friends at Simplisafe, Judy and I are going to set up our brand new customized SimpliSafe system. This weekend we did our big remodel. We talked to our insurance company. All right, what do you need to give us a nice discount? So we're going to set all that up ourselves. It's going to be super easy and I'm really happy about it. I'm happy about the discount. And my fears and threats might be different from yours, but that's the beautiful thing about SimpliSafe. Whether you're primarily thinking about break ins or fire or flood, customize the system

[Jack Armstrong]

to you using the Outdoor Camera Series two and Advanced AI Alert. Simply Safes. US Based live agents. How much do you like that? US Based identify threats on your property and help deter them. Stopping crimes before it starts. And no long term contract, which is important because you know, maybe you're going to live and have a different living situation in a couple of years. And it also means they're earning your business every single day.

[Joe Getty]

There's a break in every 26 seconds in the US make sure it's not at your house. Get the same peace of mind we have. You can get 50% off your new system by visiting simplisafe.com Armstrong that's half [e-mail] Armstrong there's no safe like Simplisafe.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was just looking up at the tv. There is some pretty decent rioting in New York last night over game one of the New York Spurs Finals. Game one.

[Joe Getty]

I'd like to know more about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

What if they win the series? Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Is that sports fans or is it various activists using the anonymity of crowds to do their evil doing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Looks like a combo. They're all wearing Knicks jerseys.

[Joe Getty]

Well, that's a sign. So let me tell you about this real briefly. Although as always, we're practically running out of time. The Free Press has, among other things, employed a bunch of different writers as we move toward our 250th birthday as a country. Great writers writing about some of their favorite Americans through American history. And it's just terrific. I came across this one that I thought was great. Both of us, Jack and I have always wanted to invent something and I haven't come up with anything worth at hand. I remember my greatest effort was as a kid. I designed a car that ran not on gasoline. This is in the 70s. So it was the era of the great gasoline crisis, the oil embargo, but on compressed air, the car would compress air and then blow it out the back like a jet engine and propel itself down the road. And I thought, I've really, I've done it here as a 10 year old, whatever. Then one of my mom's friends said, well, what energy are you going to use to compress the air? I'm like, oh, damn it. That's right,

[Jack Armstrong]

damn it.

[Joe Getty]

So ended my career as an inventor. Anyway, it was early in the 1800s when Elisha Otis, who was a farm boy in Vermont, he realized he really didn't have much interest in raising crops, but the machinery of agriculture fascinated him. And at age 19, he took his mechanical instincts off to Troy, New York, which was at the time an important note in American manufacturing, the industrial revolution and everything. And he set up factories for manufacturers and just brought inventors in and invented stuff himself. And his main breakthrough. And if you have a keen ear, you might have noticed Mr. Otis's last name was. He was looking across the Hudson river at New York and was aware of the fact that the thing holding back building skyscrapers higher, you know, many storied buildings, was how dangerous elevators were because they all worked on ropes and pulleys, and if the rope or pulley broke or whatever, the elevator would plunge to the bottom and kill everybody on it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm following you there, which is a

[Joe Getty]

hell of a deal. And I think most of us have at least once in our lives getting on an elevator, thought about that. But anyway, he came up with this ingenious way to make sure it didn't safety hoist that depended on notched guide rails along the shaft and a flat spring attached to the roof of the car. The spring ends were pulled in by the tension of the hoisting rope. If the rope broke, the ends would shoot outward, catching the rail notches and the car's descent would be halted. And everybody was like, yeah, Lysia, that sounds. That sounds great. A nice invention here. But. And that's so sure. So at the New York World's Fair in 1854, he hoisted himself up, way

[Jack Armstrong]

down, of a structure he'd built. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

In an open framework so everybody could watch.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yipes.

[Joe Getty]

Then he had the hoisting rope dramatically severed by a saber, and the car lurched down and was stopped as the crowd gasped. And almost immediately everybody knew. We can build tall buildings.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is quite a stunt.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, and he's, you know, the fact that he was a Farm boy. It reminds me of the Wright Brothers bicycle repairman. That's what America is. That's exciting. It's great. Don't tell your college professors that. That's not true. Don't let anybody tell you that.

[Jack Armstrong]

I saw Bugs Bunny. If your elevator's screaming to the ground, you just step off right before it hits the ground.

[Joe Getty]

Right?

[Wrestling Announcer]

Likewise.

[Joe Getty]

Likewise. Your airplane.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, just step right out. Everything's fine. It's June. We got a whole bunch of Supreme Court decisions that are supposed to come out soon. Maybe we'll hit you with that and a lot of other stuff we got for you, so stick around.

[Joe Getty]

The CEO of a tech company is

[Jack Armstrong]

under arrest in Orange County, California, accused

[Joe Getty]

of selling US Computer technology to the Iranian government.

[Jack Armstrong]

Jamshid Gomi, a dual US Iranian citizen

[Joe Getty]

facing federal charges of violating US Sanctions. His company based in Tehran, he allegedly

[Jack Armstrong]

helped Iran acquire networking, security and encryption

[Joe Getty]

equipment for more than a decade.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I think this story has legs. This, I think this story is going to blow up to be bigger. Some of our best encryption stuff. A lot of different things that he gave to Iran that we don't want Iran to have. What was he doing here? How did he get here? Who was funding his life and all that sort of stuff. He lived in a $35 million Newport beach mansion. That's expensive, even by fancy pants house standards.

[Joe Getty]

I have some pants that are very fancy and that's an expensive house. He's just, he was a black marketeer. He's in, you know, akin to an arms dealer, but not arms.

[Jack Armstrong]

How did he pull this off for so many years without getting caught?

[Joe Getty]

But what are you suggesting? You say it's going to blow up and be a bigger story. I'm not sure what you mean.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just think we're going to find out that the Iranian government was more involved in, in this guy's dealings than, you know, not just, just one, just not this dude. It's going to be a full on, you know, enemy of the United States.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, he was akin to a spy and an industrial thief.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Okay. If that's what you have to get.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, no.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Over 10 years, he secretly shipped 250 tons of US networking encryption equipment to Iran, including to entities tied to its nuclear and military sectors. 250 tons of equipment.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. He shipped away with it. Where are the flaws? That's what I want to know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. Or was he the only guy involved? It seems like that would be impossible. Money laundering generated 10 plus million dollars a year, but reported $20,000 income to the IRS. You live in a 35 million dollar home and you claim you're making $20,000 a year.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, hey, I'm a saver. He is claiming low invested.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I'm frugal. He claimed low income tax credits for seven years while living in a $35 million home and shipping gazillions of tons of secret equipment to Iran.

[Joe Getty]

We were talking about a similar jackass earlier in the week, but I truly don't get so you're running a many, many, many millions of dollars illicit arms, arms trading deal or computer trading deal and you cheat on your taxes, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I think the government Iran would have said, hey, how about you go ahead and pay your taxes. Pay your fair share in your case, would you? So you don't get caught. His fun home was funded by illegal sales. He bought the lot for about 4 1/2 million dollars back in 2010, spent $10 million building the home. $7 million in foreign wire transfers back and forth to Iran. How did we not catch on to this guy?

[Joe Getty]

And I go to the bank to get seven grand in cash to buy a used pickup truck and they grill me like I'm Al Capone.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly, exactly. I think there'll be more shoes to drop on this story. It was hot in Congress yesterday. We got some of the back and forth in the various hearings.

Armstrong and Getty.

wrestling.com Rubio faced heated pressure from House

[Jack Armstrong]

Democrats in a hearing that at times veered off topic. You couldn't admit that the shoes the

President bought you were too big.

[Joe Getty]

We're talking about shoes. Are you guys kidding me?

[Commercial Announcer]

I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs

[Joe Getty]

Committee or is this like a circus?

[Commercial Announcer]

What is this?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know anything about the hearing yesterday. I read a little bit about it in some of the quotes, but yeah, finally somebody has said that we're having a hearing about a really important topic. How about we talk about that as opposed to use it as an opportunity to talk on whatever hot talk radio or cable news item has come up over the last couple of weeks? Tick tock.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

The working title of the show this morning was Close Up Congress or just take a big sharpie and cross out Article 1 of the Constitution because it no longer works anymore. Yesterday was a landmark day in Congress, embarrassing itself.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and so if you didn't see that thing for a couple of weeks ago, and I never nailed down was it real or not. But anyway, Trump gave out a bunch of shoes to people for whatever reason. Oh, these are the best dress shoes. Gave people shoes. And the claim on the Internet anyway was that he gave a pair that was way too big, but for Marco Rubio. But Marco Rubio wore them anyway rather than tell his boss that the shoes don't fit. I, I have no idea if that was AI or real. Either way, it doesn't make any difference to me. I mean, that's an interesting story on its own, kind of, but not as big a deal as war with Iran. And Marco saying, this is the Foreign Relations Committee. I mean, this is supposed to be among the most hardest to get on committees and most serious committees we have in all of the federal government.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is not the sort of committee where you bring up stuff that's a. A hot Mess. Real on YouTube and six weeks ago. Yeah, exactly.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God. It's Inexcusable. That's Representative Kamleger Dove continuing to grill Marco here.

[Jack Armstrong]

The onus is on you to prove

[Joe Getty]

that there is no corruption happening. How do I prove it?

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't. Let me talk as the Secretary of State. And you know what? Normally we would have access to that data. That's the transparency.

[Joe Getty]

You just don't know where to go.

[Jack Armstrong]

But you're not showing us any receipt. Well, then show us.

[Joe Getty]

Can I explain my time?

[Jack Armstrong]

Have the documentation?

You don't have this this time yet.

[Commercial Announcer]

What kind of thing is this? What is this?

[Joe Getty]

You don't. You get asked questions for five minutes and you don't get time to answer?

[Commercial Announcer]

It's not a hearing.

They just said clown.

[Joe Getty]

What is this, a dunk tank?

[Jack Armstrong]

It helps that he was a US Senator, so he knows how all that sort of stuff works. Because if you came in from some other area of life, you wouldn't know. I don't know the rules of reclaiming time and all that sort of stuff, but he does.

[Joe Getty]

Back to our TikTok Instagram government. This is Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina chatting with Scott Besson.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did you actually tell Pulte you were going to punch him in the face?

[Guest Expert]

No, sir. I actually said I was going to kick his ass.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good. Okay, good. I share the emotion. Thank you.

[Guest Expert]

And as I said, that was last summer. Summer 25. And many teams have fights in the locker room and then go out and win for the team on the table.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good line.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's an excellent line. Scott Besant continues. This happened to be a Senate hearing talking to lisping communist Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon. Oregon, Is that right? Yeah. This is. This is something else.

[Guest Expert]

Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury Building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment meeting with Jeffrey Epstein to ask for funding. Thank you,

[Jack Armstrong]

Mr. Chairman.

[Joe Getty]

Yes. Let's be clear here. Nobody is interested in the ramblings of

[Jack Armstrong]

a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history.

[Joe Getty]

We want to get some facts about this deal. That's what we're here for.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank you.

[Joe Getty]

Well, thank you. And I will ask my questions first today.

[Guest Expert]

And we would like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret. So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility.

[Jack Armstrong]

Should I just proceed?

[Joe Getty]

I'm going to proceed with my questions. Meanwhile, same day, same government. Go with Bill Malugian's report in 65

[Jack Armstrong]

here DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen under oath before the House Homeland Security Committee

[Joe Getty]

today, where things quickly went off the rails. Are you calling me a racist? A racist? I'm asking a question, reclaiming my time. Asking to shut up. That's a pretty step up.

[Commercial Announcer]

It's my time.

[Joe Getty]

Call me a racist. Chairman Secretary Mullen getting into several heated

[Jack Armstrong]

exchanges with committee Democrats.

[Joe Getty]

That is not true. Don't accuse me of something that's not true without food. You can say all you want, but don't accuse me. You may have recognized plenty of that, Michael. The, the first lunatic there was soon to be former Congressman Al Green, who is finally mercifully leaving the Capitol but could shut up. Up, shut up. He's saying to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is. Is Besant the highly ranking gay person in Trump's cabinet?

[Joe Getty]

Yes, correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I was trying to find. I came across something the other day I thought was really good of how it's Pride Month and there are no biopics or specials or awards being given or they aren't. He isn't not being welcomed on the View or all the leading parades anywhere as the first gay, openly gay Secretary of the treasury, which is a pretty big position. And nothing because you don't get highest

[Joe Getty]

ranking openly gay fellow in American political

[Jack Armstrong]

history, in our nation's history. And nothing.

[Joe Getty]

No, that's because it's a hardcore leftist Pride Month, not gay. And actually on that topic, there are some really interesting poll numbers about the eroding support for gay rights, marriage, etc. In general. Because, and I'm going to skip to my analysis, and it's pretty clear that it's because the LG, the T, Q, B, C, R3, you know, all that, the attempt to tie every sexual weirdness to gay people. People are like, no, if you ask me to endorse or reject the whole thing, I'm rejecting the whole thing. Which is uncool.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

But your average gay person doesn't deserve that. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But you know, it's a pretty sloppy, easy way to go about it. Just that whole thing, whatever.

[Joe Getty]

Right, Right. Yeah. Meanwhile, so who, who's this Representative Miller? I'm not sure. I know. He got into it again, same day, same government, on the House floor with Rashida Taliban. But let us be clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization from the gentle lady from Michigan. And its members are butchers that you like to, you know, hang out with to a certain extent. No nation can be fully sovereign when an armed group operates outside the authority of its elected. Oh, I'm sorry. Are we getting a little emotional? Gentleman will suspend. Gentlemen will spend. I couldn't see what you had there. She's yelling at him off, Mike.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do I know what she's yelling?

[Joe Getty]

I certainly believe you advocate for them. Yes. You advocate for terrorists on a daily basis. The House will be in order, okay. For a terrorist regime every single day. From the Jenny legend from Michigan. The House will be in order. The House will be in order. Do associate yourself with that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Colleagues,

[Joe Getty]

colleagues. This is a serious topic. We will debate it respectfully and deliberately. Is the gentlewoman from Michigan making a motion to take down?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I am. That is a direct attack on my character.

I please request the words down.

[Joe Getty]

Gentlemen from Ohio will be seated. It's an accurate assessment, though. Be careful, Congressman Miller.

[Jack Armstrong]

She will.

[Joe Getty]

I probably shouldn't say that.

[Jack Armstrong]

You probably shouldn't. You probably should.

[Joe Getty]

In political violence. She backs many groups that believe in political violence, so I'd watch your back, sir. That's all. One day of madness, insanity, name calling. Shit. Hit him with a cane.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hit him with a cane.

[Joe Getty]

No canings. I remember this discussion, Jack, in which you manfully, manfully admitted that you were wrong back in the day, saying, I'm

[Jack Armstrong]

wrong, like once a day, at least.

[Joe Getty]

But this was one of your more manful admissions of wrongness when back in the day, you used to say, why do they tap dance around calling each other a liar? With all this, my gentle colleague from the great state of Iowa, where the court is as high as an elephant's eye, has missed stated a fact. No, just let's get to it. Say he's lying. But it's funny, once you open up. Name calling.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's a good lesson for life. Maybe marriages or businesses or whatever once you get away from. I'm not sure your facts meet up with the current data or your statement meets up with our current data, as opposed to, you liar. Once you start into you liar. It just. It's just that it's two people saying, you liar. No, you're a liar. And that's right. That's where you are, right.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. It's funny, there are a number of examples of that sort of thing in society. It's like if you demanded a coat and tie at the Waffle House, I think you'd have fewer fist fights. It's just. It's the idea of decorum. Are we going to have decorum or are we not? You'd have fewer customers. Also, I'd hate to get egg yolk on my tie too. More of this sort of fabulous analysis after a word from our friends at Incogni. Did you know every spam call, every scam text, every sketchy email with your name starts the same way. Somebody found you at a data broker site right now. But the beautiful thing about Incogni is they, they reach out to them over and over and over again and demand your data be taken down.

[Jack Armstrong]

Would you like to sign up for our rewards program? You get 10 off of this purchase, blah, blah, blah, and then they sell your information to people and then they sell it and it's all over the place. And then you get all these scam emails, texts, calls, all this different sort of stuff. And you've probably tried to stop it on your own. It don't work. It does work with Incogni because you can disappear. They contact hundreds of data brokers, legally forced them to remove your information. And you're going to notice a drop right away in the spam calls, emails,

[Joe Getty]

and they can't spam you if they can't find you. And right now you can get 60% off with an exclusive deal at incogni.com Armstrong incogni.com Armstrong this I n c o g n I.com Armstrong take back your privacy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Incogni.com Armstrong I just saw a trivia effect the last time the New York Knicks were leading in the NBA Finals. June 1994. Same day as the high speed Bronco chase or the low speed Bronco chase with OJ that's funny, I remember I was at my girlfriend's house and watching the Knicks game or watching the NBA Finals at the time. And then it broke in with the, the O.J. bronco chase. But that's the last time the Knicks. That's how long it's been leading in the O.J.

[Joe Getty]

o.J. Himself. Shocked. Yeah, just playing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, there you go.

[Joe Getty]

When was the last time you felt such anticipation, such on the edge of your seat tension as the slow speed chase?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't want anybody to get their head cut off, but we need a bonding moment like that in the United States, something that we all rally around. That's not politics, some, some soap opera story that we all get involved in. You don't think that could happen again?

[Joe Getty]

If shoes and cars and coffee are now right coated or left coded, the Bronco chase would be.

[Jack Armstrong]

You think?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You think it would just be the

[Joe Getty]

patriarchy and systemic racism and the left would entirely go with O.J.

[Jack Armstrong]

yeah, it might be right with O.J. yeah. For cutting off a white woman's head.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, and. And murdering a poor waiter who just was returning some sunglasses. Yeah, there's more to it than that.

[Jack Armstrong]

But he was boffing OJ's wife.

[Joe Getty]

Estranged wife. Listen to you. Are you okay with murder? Are you? Are you a Luigi Mangioniist?

[Jack Armstrong]

Terrible driving, riding around in your car. I ain't saying it's right, but I understand. As Chris Rock once said.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Troubling stuff, I'd say.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you have any open wounds, stay away from the border.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'll explain why.

wrestling.com Finally, McDonald's is trying to attract more customers by making hand breaded chicken. Although I don't know if I love their new slogan, our hands are all over your breast.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hand breaded chicken at McDonald's. I'll try it and it's either good or it's not. I'll tell you what's not good, flesh eating bacteria having maggots all over you. That's not good. We talked yesterday about this New World screw worm which we had eradicated in the United States back in the 60s. But it was south of the border and now it's crossed the border. They got the first infection in Texas. They found a calf that had it and can get into animals and cause real problems. And the, you know, beef industry is abs. Absolutely huge in Texas. Many billions of dollars at stake. But it also can get onto people. The thing that's interesting about this New World screw worm is that it feeds on living flesh of warm blooded animals, not dead things like maggots. Typically, you know, that's a dead animal thing. This is a. It's looking for live animals. So open wounds are a real risk if you're anywhere where they've got the New World screw worm or the NWS as they call it. Would you like some details on what it's going to be like if you get it? Just so you know. No, because you might get it.

[Joe Getty]

No, I won't.

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't think you're gonna get this? One of the, one of the things you gotta watch out for is malaise. So if anytime I feel just kind of tired, I'm gonna think, oh, but I got that. Dang, you know what? But I'm full of screw worms.

[Joe Getty]

I stand corrected.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've got it. I've had it for years. Exactly. I've been walking around with it my whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Flu like symptoms does that. Is that next?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, some of the, some of the symptoms are way too gross obviously for the air.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't want it.

[Jack Armstrong]

But enters through any sort of opening you have whatsoever.

[Joe Getty]

So the next time my ear itches, I should assume that one of those is burrowing its way into my brain.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's funny here it listed your orify that it could come through and it left one out. I wonder if that was just trying to be polite because there is one on the list that we all have. I mean they're like opinions really.

[Joe Getty]

I'm familiar. And it doesn't list that one. Wow. You know, I'm tempted to go down this road, but I'm trying so hard to hold on to some decorum. Unlike Congress, it's only the female worms

[Jack Armstrong]

that lay eggs in your open wounds, navel or body openings. That not surprising. Amazing.

[Joe Getty]

Screw worm bitches.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly.

[Joe Getty]

I've lost decorum. Anyway, I'm sorry, folks.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was a major problem way back in the 50s and, and we spent a lot of money and time and effort to eradicate it from the United States. But it is back and hopefully won't take off. The Texas cattle industry alone is worth $15 billion, not to mention all the other states that are, you know, big in cattle. And if you have pets, it can become a real problem too, because pets often have some sort of open wound.

[Joe Getty]

Right? Sure. I'm not anti immigration per se. We've talked about this many times throughout the years. But it does strike me that if you're talking about invasive species or pests like this or diseases. Whooping cough or what? Whooping cough or diseases that we don't have immunity for or whatever, there are absolutely risks to any population anywhere from unfettered to interchange around the world. Yeah, we did. We did that. There are reasons civilizations have borders.

[Jack Armstrong]

People weren't getting whooping cough till we opened up our borders. Nobody even thought about whooping cough. Why does that get. How come every time you hear a story about the whooping cough epidemic popping up here and there, it isn't attached to the open border story? It ought to be, right? Or tuberculosis or any of the other stuff that's come back.

[Joe Getty]

No, our lying media is uncomfortable with that. We don't want to give any fodder to nativists and racists. By telling them the truth, they helping them make a measured decision.

[Jack Armstrong]

They do want to tie it into right wing nutjobs who won't get their vaccines, which is a thing. But that's not why I got whooping cough. I, I got the shot as a little kid like we all did. And it wore off, but nobody cared before that. It wore off because it didn't exist in the country.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. So that snake handling over tanned steroid nut is definitely a factor in the story, but not in your story per se.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Exactly.

[Joe Getty]

Speaking of science, that famous, famous study that convinced everybody that if you don't indulge your child's transgender notions, they will commit suicide. The true story of that study. It's unbelievable.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that should be known.
