Episode Overview

This episode of Armstrong & Getty centers on escalating international tensions, particularly the US-Iran conflict, and President Trump's high-stakes, on-again-off-again threats and their impact on global markets and diplomacy. The hosts analyze the confusion and media spin around whether meaningful US-Iran negotiations are actually happening. Later, the show lightens up with a lively discussion about First Amendment rights, satirical protest music from rapper Afroman after an over-the-top police raid—highlighted by the viral “lemon pound cake” incident—and concludes with mailbag commentary, discussions on media bias, and comic relief.

Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Trump, Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz Showdown

Timestamps: 04:04 – 13:56; 27:10 – 33:38

• Initial Threat

  • Trump issues a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, threatening “complete obliteration” of Iranian power plants if not complied.
  • The move is widely seen as an extreme escalation: “That would have been a severe escalation in an already quite escalated war.” (Jack Armstrong, 05:21)

• De-escalation & Uncertainty

  • Trump suddenly walks back the threat, citing “very good and productive conversations” and offering a five-day reprieve, with mixed signals about whether negotiations are truly taking place.
  • “For the first time since the war started three weeks ago…there is de-escalation. And Trump put out a statement blowing up all the news headlines…” (Jack Armstrong, 05:32)
  • The Iranian government denies negotiations; US media and political figures speculate on the truth.

• Market Reactions and Global Stakes

  • Trump’s reversal triggers immediate market changes.
    • “As soon as he put out his Truth Social post…the markets jumped this morning, like, a lot. Crude went up 4% in like, 30 seconds…” (Jack Armstrong, 07:18)
    • Correction: “No, no, sorry. Down…Good things happened for the world. The stock market went up. Crude got cheaper.” (Jack Armstrong, 07:32)
  • The global community, especially Europe, is alarmed by Iranian missile capabilities now threatening European capitals. “They can reach a lot further than anybody thought. So that’s one of their lies.” (Jack Armstrong, 06:20)

• Speculation on Trump’s Motives

  • Was it a calculated move, or spontaneous? “Trump is so spontaneous…My guess is that…he made that threat and like I said, every country on earth…called and said, oh, can we make one request, please don’t do that, because that would cause a global economic shock…” (Joe Getty, 10:41)
  • The episode debates whether Trump’s climbdown was strategic or just “shooting from the lip.”
    • “I’m thinking…just on his own. If I had to bet money, that’s what I would bet.” (Jack Armstrong, 13:55)

• Notable Quotes

  • “Halperin’s newsletter this morning…called it the mother of all threats, mother of all deadlines.” (Jack Armstrong, 09:50)
  • “If we wiped out their entire energy infrastructure…it’d be a 90 million person Lord of the Flies.” (Joe Getty, 11:37)
  • “Do we have any negotiations going on with somebody? Or…did he just decide this is gonna be too hot?” (Jack Armstrong, 06:20)

2. Media Coverage, Censorship, and Perspective Wars

Timestamps: 15:00 – 16:47

• Media Bias in Crisis

  • Conservative watchdogs find major news aggregators lack conservative sources in war coverage.
    • “Media Research Council…Apple News had 0% of its featured stories…from conservative outlets. 0%. Big flap…” (Joe Getty, 15:40)

• Spin and Mixed Messaging

  • NATO, conservative, and mainstream outlets all paint differing pictures of the war’s status and Trump’s actions.
  • “If you didn’t have any other information you would think we are just getting our asses kicked…It’s wow.” (Jack Armstrong, 15:36)

3. News Headlines Roundup w/ Katie Green

Timestamps: 20:02 – 23:32

• Contradictory Reporting
  • Katie highlights how different networks spin the Iran/Trump developments:
    • “ABC: Trump says very good Iran talks…Fox: Iran says no negotiations ongoing…” (20:05)
    • “Maybe we should start negotiating whether there are negotiations going on.” (Joe Getty, 20:20)
• Other Top Stories
  • ICE agents to assist TSA in airports, deadly accident at LaGuardia, Trump’s reaction to Mueller’s death (“Classy…”), McDonald’s in China using humanoid robots, and quirky Babylon Bee satire.

4. New Revelations: Iranian Missiles and Denials

Timestamps: 27:10 – 33:38

• Missile Range Surprises

  • Iran launches missile at Diego Garcia, revealing previously denied long-range capabilities.
    • “Diego Garcia is a tiny little island…almost 2,500 miles from the launch site…Nobody had any idea Iran could shoot a rocket or missile that far.” (Jack Armstrong, 28:05)
  • Discussion whether this forced Trump’s walk-back and what it means for future security.

• Diplomatic Posturing

  • Iran publicly denies talks, claims Trump’s walk-back is a face-saving move.
    • “Just because the American press prints it as if it’s true doesn’t mean it does. It is rather. See Hamas, please.” (Joe Getty, 06:13)
  • Ian Bremmer cited for calling Trump’s move “unilateral…doesn’t mean anything. Iran has changed anything about their strategies whatsoever.” (Jack Armstrong, 30:56)

---

5. Viral Cake: The Afroman Saga and the First Amendment

Timestamps: 34:28 – 40:41

• Setting the Scene

  • Rapper Afroman’s home is raided by police while he’s away, with guns drawn.
  • Video footage shows a police officer distracted by a cake (under a cloche) in the kitchen.
    • “Breaks his neck [double take]…this guy does a hilarious double take.” (Joe Getty, 37:02)

• Creative Protest

  • Afroman uses footage in viral music videos mocking the raid, creating songs like “Lemon Pound Cake” and “Will You Help Me Repair My Door?”
  • Police sue Afroman for defamation and “pain and suffering”; one claims the video broke up his marriage.
    • “A country cannot use the force of the state to silence you after it has attempted…to humiliate you and damaged your property. He had a gripe with the government…he gets to talk about it any way he wants.” (Joe Getty, 38:36)
  • Listeners send “hundreds of pounds of pound cake” to the officer as a running joke.

• Memorable Moment

  • Hosts (and producer Katie Green) riff on the absurdity of a cop pausing mid-raid for dessert.
    • “As much as I like donuts, I might [get distracted].” (Jack Armstrong, 39:18)
    • “Here's another one!” (Katie Green, 40:32)

6. Mailbag, War Fatigue & Comic Relief

Timestamps: 44:30 – 48:51

• Listener Feedback

  • Emails cover “Trump derangement” vs. “Trump worship syndrome,” approval ratings, and the ongoing war’s unpopularity.
  • “Doing what you want even if your mother wants you to do it—that is one of my all-time favorites. Democratic legislators…don't have the maturity even if Trump wants them to do it.” (Joe Getty, 46:17)
  • Rants about gas prices & military strategy: “Paying the high cost without complaint is what patriots do…You’re either with us or with the terrorists.” (Joe Getty quoting a listener, 47:47)

• Comic Bits

  • Chuck Norris tributes: “Chuck Norris told a woman to calm down—and she did. That might be the ultimate Chuck Norris joke.” (Jack Armstrong, 34:06)

Notable Quotes

• “That would have been a severe escalation in an already quite escalated war.” (Jack Armstrong, 05:21)

• “Breaks his neck [double take]…this guy does a hilarious double take.” (Joe Getty, 37:02)

Tone & Takeaways

• Useful for Listeners:
  This episode provides a clear skeptical take on official narratives, media bias, and the unpredictable dynamics of global crises, all leavened with humor and timely pop culture. Even the First Amendment Afroman story acts as comic relief and civil-liberties primer after the heavy opening.

[Meaningful Beauty Announcer]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Live from Studio C. Si, Senor Brandon.

[Jack Armstrong]

Brand new week, welcome to it. Who knows what's going to happen? The Armstrong and Getty show live from our broadcast compound and toiling under the

[Joe Getty]

title of the show Car Matey or Alien Meteor Attack Continues.

[Jack Armstrong]

Alien meteor attack.

[Joe Getty]

That's right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

They opened a volley on Texas over the weekend, Jack. First it was poor Ohio feeling the brunt of the space aliens anger.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fantastic. So you all probably went to sleep just like I did in footy pajamas with a cup of warm buttermilk. And with the news that Trump had put out a 48 hour deadline for Iran that if they didn't completely open the straight of Hormuz by midnight tonight, it was actually midnight Tehran time, which would have been 7:45 Eastern, which is only 4:45 West Coast Time.

[Joe Getty]

So not that excellent time zone knowledge, sir.

[Jack Armstrong]

But not that many hours away till it ended that we were going to completely obliterate all their power plants in Iran. Completely obliterate their ability to have any power in that country which we have the military capability to do. That's a heck of a threat.

[Joe Getty]

Highly controversial too.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that would have been a severe escalation in an already quite escalated war. But for the first time since the war started three weeks ago.

[Joe Getty]

Mm. Yeah, we're just entering week four. I Believe for the first time since

[Jack Armstrong]

the war began three weeks ago, there is a de escalation. And Trump put out a statement blowing up all the news headlines in any actual paper, newspapers around the country, that he's gonna give him five days. Negotiations are going so well that we're gonna give him five days to let these negotiations play out. And nobody's exactly sure who he's negotiating with. The Iranians are saying there's no negotiations. We're not doing any negotiations. Of course they lie. Of course they lie about everything. They lie about everything. We got more news on that because they lied about a whole bunch of things over the weekend. But.

[Joe Getty]

And just because the American press prints it as if it's true doesn't mean it does. It is rather. See Hamas, please.

[Jack Armstrong]

But is. Did Trump actually. Do we have any negotiations going on with somebody? Or was that. Did he just decide this is gonna be too hot? And as soon as he put out his truth social post, which is the way these things are announced, that he was calling off the strike. That, again, would have been a serious escalation of this war. Because Iran said, you do that, and we're unleashing our rockets and missiles all over the place. And we found out over the weekend they can reach a lot further than anybody thought. So that's one of their lies. They had claimed. Now, we're not working on any, you know, intercontinental ballistic missiles that can go 1500 miles. We don't have any.

[Joe Getty]

How dare you accuse us of that?

[Jack Armstrong]

How dare you? And then they launched one over the weekend that went that far, which puts all kinds of, like, European capitals within range, possibly, and all kinds of stuff. So Iran said that they were going to respond to Trump wiping out the energy structure, infrastructure of the country by attacking all kinds of places. Is. Did Trump back off thinking that was a bad idea? Anyway, I lost my own point as soon as he announced it. The markets jumped this morning, like, a lot. Crude went up 4% in like, 30 seconds after his truth social post.

[Joe Getty]

It went up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Interesting. I mean.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, sorry. Down with the right direction. With the correct direction, yes. The good things happened for the world. The stock market went up. Crude got cheaper.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, Michael.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I just keep wondering, if we're

[Joe Getty]

negotiating, how do we know who's in charge? I mean, if you have, you know, people saying that they're in charge.

[Jack Armstrong]

Are we negotiating? I don't even know if we are here.

[Joe Getty]

President Trump said today the US And Iran were negotiating, quote, a total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle east close quote. And that he would postpone any American attacks on Iranian power plants by five days.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

But not like a cessation of hostilities in general.

[Jack Armstrong]

But that's the first de escalation that has happened in three weeks of any kind. Everything else has been an escalation on both sides.

[Joe Getty]

So I call it a pause, collation, because there hasn't been a de escalation. There just hasn't been an escalation.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you think Trump's actually. We have. Well, I'm sure Marco Rubio or somebody. Witkoff, somebody's doing the negotiating. But do you think we're actually got some negotiation going or was that just a. This is. I made a threat I shouldn't follow through on?

[Joe Getty]

Well, a couple of things. Number one, their foreign minister, who is apparently still sucking air, is well known. He's negotiated a bunch of their deals, you know, that they then cheated on and lied about immediately. But he's still around. I suspect he's the go to guy, whether we're actually talking to him or not. I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

NPR just quoted him saying we're not negotiating about anything.

[Joe Getty]

All right, exactly. But to your point earlier, they lie about everything. So who.

[Jack Armstrong]

I wouldn't think you'd lie about that. That just kept your energy infrastructure from being obliterated.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Although their line is Trump is backing down. He sees the might of the Iranian military and he's backing down. Right. But the kind of, the second part of your question, I know the idea of, yeah, we'll wipe out your energy infrastructure, all of it. And Iran's like, well, we got plenty of missiles to wipe out like the energy infrastruct infrastructure of all the Gulf states. And maybe we'll take a couple of

[Jack Armstrong]

shots at Europe too.

[Joe Getty]

Huh?

[Jack Armstrong]

How do you like that?

[Joe Getty]

And virtually every world capital said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on now. I think every country in the world probably called Trump and said, let's talk about this, man.

[Jack Armstrong]

We won't know for a very long time the answers to some of these questions, but did Trump throw out that threat? Really big threat. Halperin's newsletter this morning, which is outdated by now, called it the mother of all threats, mother of all deadlines. It was way up there in terms of deadlines. It ranks way up there pretty high. And did Trump do that completely on a whim with a truth social post with like not talking to anybody? Or was that carefully calculated with Marco Rubio and the Pentagon and everything else?

[Joe Getty]

Yes or no? One or the other.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then this Walk back. Did he completely do it on his own with the truth social post right before the markets opened to get the market reaction he wanted, or was that carefully calculated after talks with Iran and Marco Rubio and all kinds of stuff?

[Joe Getty]

You know, Trump is so spontaneous and he makes claims, then contradicts them fairly quickly sometimes. The whole tariff thing was just willy nilly. For instance. My guess, My guess is that, you know, he made that threat and like I said, every country on earth.

[Jack Armstrong]

What?

[Joe Getty]

No, as whole. And none called and said, oh, can we make one request, please don't do that, because that would cause a global economic shock that would crush the markets, including the American economy, for a long time. And that's the one thing where Trump will listen. Like the savvy businessman he is.

[Jack Armstrong]

He does seem to react to the markets. But if, if we wiped out their entire energy infrastructure, that we're in a different place, then like the whole regime change. Rise up, country. Rise up, people and take your country. Take what country back? We got to start over. We got to rebuild everything.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, It'd be a 90 million person Lord of the Flies.

[Jack Armstrong]

So that have been quite a thing, which I guess it's still on the table, I don't know. Five day pause.

[Joe Getty]

Did you actually read Lord of the Flies?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah, Several times actually.

[Joe Getty]

I haven't.

[Jack Armstrong]

As an adult. Not in school.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it was never assigned and I never got to it.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I, I don't know if you should read it in school. It's pretty, it's pretty rough.

[Joe Getty]

Especially today's soft, soft kids.

[Jack Armstrong]

You have not read Roller to Flies at this point?

[Joe Getty]

I have. No, I don't think I have.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's one of those books. I had Henry read it just because it gets referenced so much. I feel like there's a lot of stuff you ought to read just because it's constantly referenced. But it's damn good and it's not that long.

[Joe Getty]

But I think of that in terms of the Bible. Sometimes there's so many cultural references that reference the Bible, but fewer and fewer people are going to church or studying the Bible or claiming religion. That's right, sir.

[Jack Armstrong]

But Lord of the Flies is basically the idea that without some sort of structure or coming together with some way to govern ourselves, life is nasty, brutish and short. And yeah, Iran would have been in quite the situation. We wipe out there and then who knows what they shoot at and then what the responses are to that.

[Joe Getty]

So keeping in mind they are death cultists, actually. Death cultists.

[Jack Armstrong]

I sure hope that was the High mark or low mark, depending on how you look at it, of this war overnight with this threat, what next? And everybody decides this is not going on. Of course, like you said, they're death cultists. They're not going to decide, well, we need to back down because they'll be hung or shot. It's not like that. There's no getting out for them.

[Joe Getty]

Right, Right. Well, depending on who takes power. And I tell you what, I've never seen a situation like this where there are so many different possibilities of what, you know, a month, six months from now looks like. And I mean, of the like six I can come up with off the top of my head, they're like all equally likely. No idea.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I don't know that we'll get the answer, maybe even in my lifetime. But I sure would like to know if Trump, if that was a strategy or just fired off a threat like that.

[Joe Getty]

I'm thinking second one. I really do.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just on his own.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

If I had to bet money, that's

[Joe Getty]

what I would bet. What time of day did he put it out? Does anybody remember that?

[Jack Armstrong]

That looks. I have to look that up.

[Joe Getty]

If it was after good law fearing people were in bed, then it was probably, you know, shooting from the lip.

[Jack Armstrong]

We should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is. How did it already get to be Monday, March 23, the year 2026, where Armstrong and Yeti and we approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, let's leap into action officially now, according to FCC rules regs. Here we go at mark I trust dod. We got two Marine expeditionary units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima. We can do this. The Marines. My money is always on the Marines.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a quite a thing from Lindsey Graham yesterday in terms of escalation. Marines need to take Carg Island. They took Ao Jima. They can take Carg island, for crying out loud. Oh, now we got Marines storming islands and dying by the thousands. Is that what's going on here?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. Lindsey Graham, the hockiest hawk who ever

[Jack Armstrong]

hawked looking up at a Joel Hawks

[Joe Getty]

look at Lindsey Graham say that's too much.

[Jack Armstrong]

Looking up at a quote on cnn NATO chief, we absolutely can. The Hormuz Strait. The head of NATO yesterday was one one of the talk shows and he was talking in very positive terms about what Trump has done that it needed to be done. Glad he did it. It's going the right direction. I thought that was something you don't get that out of the mean. I was just watching MSNBC and if you didn't have any other information you would think we are just getting our asses kicked. It is clearly a disaster. Everybody knows it is. We're bogged down. There's no getting out.

[Joe Getty]

There's no plan.

[Jack Armstrong]

There was never a plan. It's just. It's wow.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. There's always been dissident media in free countries. But I mean, for instance, I've got a story I've been meaning to get to it, which is the conservative Media Matters Media Research Council came out with a big report that got a lot of attention a couple of weeks ago that Apple News had 0% of its featured stories, its lead stories from conservative leaning or conservative outlets. 0%. Big flap in the world of media. They've now improved to 2%. Has there ever been a republic, an empire that's tried this experiment?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Taught their kids to hate it, hate themselves, and has a media that's more than happy to oblige. It's crazy.

[Jack Armstrong]

How about when you go to war? Or that you're being told you're losing even if you're not. That's something. Okay, we got Katie's headlines on the way. We got a lot more news of the day that said breaking all the time because it's the era we live in. Our text line is 415295KFTZ.

Katie okay, well these are from earlier this morning. ABC Trump says very good. Iran talks and hints at total resolution. And then Fox says Iran says no negotiations ongoing. After Trump postpones power plant strikes.

[Joe Getty]

Well, maybe we should start negotiating whether there are negotiations going on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, Trump says a complete resolution soon. He demanded he's. He stated there were only unconditional surrender last week.

[Joe Getty]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I think this is the classical Trumpian keeping everybody off guard.

[Katie Green]

On the NBC, Tom Holman says ice agents will assist at crowded airport security points amid TSA shaft staffing shortages.

[Jack Armstrong]

This being treated in a very weird way by the media. We'll have to talk about that coming up. They're not gonna start beating people in the airports or anything?

[Joe Getty]

I mean, I think they should.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why not?

[Joe Getty]

Spare the rod, spoil the air traveler. That's what I say.

[Jack Armstrong]

Four hour lines in Atlanta, for instance, over the weekend.

[Katie Green]

Four hours.

[Jack Armstrong]

I need to go someplace really bad before I'm waiting in line.

[Joe Getty]

Four hours.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Katie Green]

Dad combs out at Atlanta going through the parking garage.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm staying home. Right.

[Katie Green]

From the Associated Press. Pilot and co pilot killed in collision between jet and fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, just terrible situation. Yikes.

[Katie Green]

USA Today quote. Disgusting. Democratic senator slams Trump's reaction to Mueller's death.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm glad he forgot.

[Joe Getty]

Classy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump responds with I'm glad he's dead. When somebody died. Good God.

[Katie Green]

New York Post.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good. His sentence was good. I'm glad he's dead.

[Katie Green]

I had, I saw that on Twitter and I went, no, come on. So I opened True Social and I was like, oh, yes, he did. Okay, good.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm glad he's dead.

[Joe Getty]

Gracious, lovely.

[Katie Green]

New York Post. McDonald's in Chinese City pilots humanoid robots to serve meals and greet customers. Super study finds Chicago averaged fewer than two days a year without a shooting over an entire decade.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, that is one shooty town.

[Katie Green]

And finally, the Babylon Beach, France explains they can't help open the Strait of Hormuz as they already sent all 15 of their soldiers to defend Greenland.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, wow. We didn't get to that report that came out into the last week. On Friday, the various military assets put in place to to defend Greenland against the United States. They were ready to fight the Marines.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my gosh, I missed that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have to talk about that later. Talk about that later.

[Joe Getty]

Don't fight the Marines under any circumstances.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, some more of the back and forth threats between Iran and NATO and the United States and everybody else still pretty hot even though there's a ceasefire ish sort of thing going on at least around destroying their power plants. A lot more on the way. I hope you can stay here.

That's innerbalance.com he wasn't just talking about

[Jack Armstrong]

this 48 hours, he's talking about the entire conflict. He says, I'm pleased to report the United States of America and the country of Iran have had over the last two days very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. I hope that's true. I don't know that it is. There's no reporting anywhere about any conversations going on. But sometimes that's the way secret behind the scenes conversations go.

[Joe Getty]

So sure, sure. Just one more example of I have no idea which one is true at this point.

[Jack Armstrong]

We do know it's true that Trump, Trump put out a heck of a threat, 48 hour deadline to bomb the crap out of Iran and then then last second has said nope. Negotiations are going so good. Five day pause on that. So do you know Diego Garcia? He is a shortstop for the Venezuelan baseball team and he's like the best

[Joe Getty]

soccer player on earth.

[Jack Armstrong]

Came under attack by Iranian missiles over the weekend. No, Diego Garcia is a tiny little island and we and the Brits have had an air base there in the Indian Ocean. But it's almost 2500 miles from the launch site of a missile that Iran shot at him over the weekend. And nobody had any idea that Iran could shoot a rocket or missile or anything that far?

[Joe Getty]

Well, especially because they've been denying it categorically.

[Jack Armstrong]

And if they do have a rocket that will shoot that far, and apparently they do, I don't know how many of them they have. And nobody does know, nobody knew they even had that one. They could reach Oslo, Berlin, London, Paris, Munich, Rome, lots of places. So did that play any role in any of the negotiations over the weekend? I doubt it, but maybe. I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't know. I have an account here. Where is it that they fired two. One aborted, like it just broke apart and didn't work. Right. And the other one, it's not clear what happened to it.

[Jack Armstrong]

We shot it down.

[Joe Getty]

So they're not quite there. Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

What are this report says, but we can, we can figure out what the trajectory, where it was going to go. So we, you know, the news was, oh, wow, they've got rockets that go way farther than we thought or that they had admitted to. In fact, they had specifically, as you said, denied having any building any technology that could go that far because that's part of the whole nuclear deal. Right. Not only are we not building a nuclear weapon, we don't have the kind of rocket that can deliver it anywhere. So what, are we gonna Uber it to you?

[Joe Getty]

Nothing to worry about here. Yeah. Diego Garcia's about far away as London and Paris from Tehran, which caught the Euro's eye for sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Iran just now, once again denying any direct talks with the United States.

[Joe Getty]

Well, how about indirect and calls President

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump postponing his deadline, a bid to cut energy costs. So

[Joe Getty]

that's correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Was there any reason for Iran to deny this just because it makes him look tough, like, hey, we didn't. They backed down, we didn't back down. Is that what they're hoping for?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Whose benefit?

[Joe Getty]

Well, I think that's, to me, as best as I can tell, it's clearly what happened. Trump in the series of ever escalating threat said, we'll take out all your energy infrastructure. And Iran said, all right, we'll take out everybody else's. And the entire world said, oh, my God, please don't do that. Please don't do that. And so Trump backed off of it because it would just cause more harm than it would accomplish. Good. Partly, you know, to lower energy prices.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's true. So, Ian Bremer, that's reasonable.

[Joe Getty]

Actually,

[Jack Armstrong]

Ian Bremmer's take on it is Trump's climb down is unilateral, says nothing about Iranian intentions. It doesn't mean anything. Iran has changed anything about their strategies whatsoever. Is just Trump deciding this would be too hot.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, he went too far with his online threats.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's the old productive talks routine to evade the self imposed deadline, says Ian Bremmer. I don't know. I don't know. Do you think he did? Like, like if you're a parent and you say you do that one more time and I'm taking away your cell phone and they do it and then you think, I don't want to take away their cell phone over this. But I already said it.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you present them with a five day plan and you better come around or, you know, it's it. Yeah, it's, it's a climb down, a step down.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right.

[Joe Getty]

But again, I think that if there was a mistake made, it was in the initial threat because it would do so much damage to the global economy and Trump didn't realize it or, or just wanted to make the threat because he threatened stuff all the time and doesn't carry it out. Sometimes he threatened stuff and does carry it out, as always, keeping you on your heels, off balance.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Okay, well, we'll keep you updated on that whole thing throughout the, throughout the day because I have a feeling there's going to be a lot more news on this.

[Joe Getty]

I have a couple of things I'm really excited about talking about today that have nothing to do with war or even really politics per se.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yay.

[Joe Getty]

In and including, I have, with the help of an actual scientist, boiled down all the nutritional information you need to one sentence. This is the diet to follow in one sentence. It's the All Kelp diet. Stay with us.

[Jack Armstrong]

Since I read a number of Ian Bremmer tweets that were kind of semi critical of Trump and what he's done. Let me hit you with this one. Based on what we just reported to you, turned out the Iranian government was lying about not developing any ballistic missiles with the kind of range that we saw over the weekend. Hardly surprising. But it is justification for removing their ballistic missile capability. Militarily. It is, it is a justification for taking that out. They had much more capability to deliver weapons further than they, than they claimed.

[Joe Getty]

Right. I can't remember when I was hammering this point. It might have been prior to the Fordo strike. Anybody who says or writes anything that carries with it the implication that Iran is negotiating in good faith is a fool. A fool and a jackass and anti American.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was Gonna say or just anti Trump, Anti American.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we have an ad here, Michael? No. Good. How about I'll do a transition comment and then we could do one of your things. That's not. That has anything to do with super. Chuck Norris died on Friday, God rest his soul. My favorite Chuck Norris thing I saw over the weekend. Chuck Norris told a woman to calm down and she did. That might be the ultimate Chuck Norris joke.

[Joe Getty]

Where did I just. Where did I just hear? Was it on our show that Chuck Norris. He was reading this. I can make a snowman out of rain.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good one.

[Joe Getty]

That's a good one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can unscramble an egg is a good one.

[Joe Getty]

Told a woman to calm down and she did. Oh, my Lord.

[Public Investing Sponsor]

That's good.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Perfect transition. And I'm slightly ashamed, slightly ashamed that I did not come to this myself. Greg Lukianoff, hero of the show, free speech crusader. Don't always disagree with him, but by God, he's enthusiastic about the First Amendment. And Adam Goldstein, who is also part of fire, the foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. They wrote a piece entitled Afroman, American Patriot. Thin Skinned Police. Rap videos and pound cake aside, this ridiculous saga is also seriously inspiring.

[Jack Armstrong]

And did we talk about this much on the show? I know we did on the podcast.

[Joe Getty]

I was mostly on the podcast. We might. We might have to set this up in a way that's going to take more time than we have right now. I will tell you this. Joseph Foreman, AKA Afroman. Because I got high. Because I got high. That guy and a couple of their minor hits. I'm told he was out of town when the local police raided his home on drug and kidnapping charges. Found nothing, filed no charges, but his security system and his wife with her cell phone, recorded a lot of it, audio and video. And then as Lukianoff and Goldstein summarize it, that he wasn't home, but his wife and young children then 10 and 12 were. He would later rap. Did you have to traumatize my kids?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Cops who conducted the search, set of songs mocking the raid, traumatized them and sued him and dragged him into Court.

[Jack Armstrong]

His 10 year old and 12 year old were at home alone. And the cops came in with guns drawn with Mom.

[Joe Getty]

Mom.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, mom was there, okay.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. With her cell phone. Yeah. Finding no evidence, the police left in their wake a broken door, a damaged gate, and surveillance footage of a law enforcement operation straight out of the Keystone Cops. Afroman responded the way artists have responded to being wronged since time. Immemorial he turned it into art for. For music videos of songs including Lemon pound Cake, inspired by one officer's lingering glance at the titular treat under a protective glass dome on the kitchen counter. We don't have a word for that. Protective dome. The other day I forgot it, though.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just a cloche.

[Joe Getty]

A cloche.

[Jack Armstrong]

The glass thing or whatever, the thing you put over a cake is a

[Joe Getty]

cloche, in my opinion.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I still haven't seen the video. The cops going in the kitchen, going through the kitchen with a gun drawn and spots the cake.

[Joe Getty]

And then. Oh, this guy does a hilarious double take. He's like. Breaks his neck. Yeah, exactly, Katie.

[Katie Green]

And then Afroman referred to him as family guy because he has a strong resemblance to Peter Griffin.

[Joe Getty]

Right, so Lemon pound cake is one of the songs. Will you help me repair my door? Was another one, which he incorporated footage of the raid from his home security system and his wife's cell phone. And then as he offered a trial, testifying in the drab courtroom while wearing a flamboyant American flag themed suit and matching sunglasses.

[Jack Armstrong]

Cool.

[Joe Getty]

Afroman said the music videos were intended to communicate with his fans about the police's actions and to, quote, do something peaceful to raise the money to pay for the damage to his house. Inevitably, the fundraising included selling merch. Satirizing the episode. Several of the deputies sued over the video. Defamation, pain and suffering. One of the guys claimed that it broke up his marriage. His wife testified. No, it didn't. Let's see. The one guy said he had hundreds of pounds of pound cakes sent to him at work.

[Jack Armstrong]

Was set a crime. I mean, what do you need counseling for that?

[Joe Getty]

All right, so anyway, their point is that a country cannot use the force of the state to silence you after it has attempted him to humiliate you and damaged your property. He had a gripe with the government. The government overplayed its hand, did him damage, and he gets to talk about it any way he wants.

[Jack Armstrong]

How did they get.

[Joe Getty]

That is a beautiful affirmation of the first amendment.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. How did they get a warrant to go into his house like that? That. On what corrupt cop shop? It's just plain from what I've heard. Local

[Joe Getty]

Barney Fife ish, didn't like the guy. Insular, hard ass, small town cops situation.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is scary. It is.

[Joe Getty]

So the government abused this guy and he got to talk about it and sing about it and make funny videos about it. Because the government can't do one thing. They can't make you shut up ever. That's a beautiful thing. And I'm glad Luke Yanof and Goldstein put it the way they did.

[Jack Armstrong]

I love donuts and cake, but I can't imagine if I was in like a got my gun drawn life or death situation that I would get distracted by a donut on the counter. As much as I like donuts, I might.

[Joe Getty]

What about like a fresh baked apple pie?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. I still don't think I would, but

[Joe Getty]

maybe catches your eye. Seems like you're in a pretty second glance important moment.

[Katie Green]

Firearm out of holster, you got your

[Jack Armstrong]

gun in your hand, trigger ready.

[Katie Green]

A pound cake.

[Joe Getty]

All right, well, first of all, boy's a bit rotund as we refer to. He loves cake more than you do, clearly. Second thing is, sorry to turn this serious. This is a bunch of Yahoo jackasses conducting a raid. They already knew. They. She told him he's not even here. He's out of town. So there's a woman and a couple of children saying, what are you doing in here? It was not a dangerous situation. So yeah, he had his gun out. But look, plenty of time to notice. Cakes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Look, cake. That's so hilarious. And then people mailing him pound cakes.

[Joe Getty]

Hundreds of them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Saw that. You like cake. Here's another one.

[Katie Green]

Here's another one.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I love this. The more I think about it, the more I love it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that's great. Do we have all that stuff posted at the website? I think we do, don't we? Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, we'll have links you can find super easily. Armstrong and getty.com. give us a minute or two, we'll have them up up there for you.

[Joe Getty]

Oh dfl, that's a little painful. You know my computer, the webpage just crashed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Give me a second. I'm in last place in my group I'm competing with with my NCAA bracket. But I did to my credit or discredit, I watched 0 seconds of college basketball this year. 0 seconds.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Wow. Yeah, I've been watching my fight in a line I hear doing pretty well but they're up against Houston. Here's your freedom loving quote of the

[Jack Armstrong]

day

[Joe Getty]

continuing our series about war as I revive revived my webpage the two. This is from Tolstoy. Jack, an author don't you know?

[Jack Armstrong]

Leo Toast I've been to his home. How did you find it? Cool.

[Joe Getty]

Excellent. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. That's mine.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good one.

[Joe Getty]

It is a good one in both and more in regular life. Mailbag, drop us a note mailbagarmstrongetti.com Brian from Houston Dear Cold Warrior and old Fancy Jack. If we we have all seen Trump derangement syndrome up close and personal where anything Trump does has to be bad. I think TWS Trump worshiping syndrome is just as bad where anything President Trump does is the right move.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure.

[Joe Getty]

What, what happened to the only way to look at a politician is down? Yeah, I'm with you, Ryan.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. I can't imagine having either one of those things. I just, I don't feel like I'm built for it.

[Joe Getty]

No, no, me neither. Paul. And the Sea Ranch. Lovely community.

[Jack Armstrong]

Community.

[Joe Getty]

Coastal California. A great definition of maturity is doing what you want even if your mother wants you to do it. That is one of my all time favorites. Democratic legislatures, legislators except for Senator Fetterman don't have the maturity to do what they want to do even if Trump wants them to do it. That's a good metaphor, Paul.

[Jack Armstrong]

I Like it.

[Joe Getty]

Fetterman's approval ratings in Pennsylvania are like 11%. Oh, the way he's getting murdered for his moderation.

[Jack Armstrong]

I did not know that.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I was shocked myself.

[Jack Armstrong]

So he'll probably be a one term senator then, huh?

[Joe Getty]

It looks like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good for him though of just, you know, saying what he thinks. I mean he's 180 degrees from what most politicians do. They will say freaking anything to say in office. That's the only thing they care about, right? Like 95% of them.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. JT in Livermore. Why hasn't Carg island been disabled? I don't get it. I know Trump wants to preserve Iran's economic engine to help rebuild after the war, but letting Iran close the straits while allowing them to sell even more oil during the war than before the war is inexplicable. I know that oil's combustible, but I can't believe we don't have a way to turn off the spigots at Carg island to bring Iran's economy to a halt.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's plenty of news out there over the weekend that the Strait or Straits will be open within a couple of weeks. And then this whole it's closed period will have lasted a month.

[Joe Getty]

Patience and time, Tolstoy. And this on that theme from Aaron. Oh, gas is so expensive.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sit down and shut up.

[Joe Getty]

He says in all caps. Paying the high cost without complaint is what patriots do. Nbfos. What is? Oh, no blood for oil. Whining about the cost of gas is a dumbass position. How about some blood for oil? That is and has been my pragmatic position for 24 years. You think our ancestors could have braved this American frontier if they believed that no amount of blood was worth it? You babies, zero tolerance for people complaining about the cost of gas and those who harbor them. You're either with us or you're with the terrorists.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Well, something like 2/3 of Americans are against the war currently, depending on which poll you look at.

[Joe Getty]

And in health news, number one, boil down dietary advice to one sentence practically. Second guys, prostate health 21 times a month. Use it or lose it.

That's innerbalance.com this is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be with Bethenny Frankel. Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize, not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. And here's the thing you care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy. So why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies. Go to justfoodfordogs.com right now and get 50% off your first box. No code. Just try it because once you see the difference, you're not going back.
