Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Getty
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Armstrong
The left viscerally makes me often want to punch them more because they're just so often like anti common sense. So they just insist on championing things that are really about them. But they have to feel like they're social justice warriors. It's very important for them to feel like they're the good people. And by telling us that we're all bad, that's how they know they're good.
Getty
Right.
Armstrong
And, and that just becomes kind of annoying.
Getty
Man. The like the leading light of Progressivism, Bill Maher. 15, 20 years ago. I remember seeing him at a, on a college campus. It was insufferable. But he is, you know, center left compared to where they are now.
Armstrong
Yeah. Sane, liberal. Yeah.
Getty
I am. Oh my God, it's the eighth time I vomited today.
Armstrong
Oh.
Getty
Watching the Jesse Jackson coverage on all the news channels. Is everybody going to pretend that he was only what he set out to be early in life? A civil rights leader trying to help the downtrodden, which I think he probably sincerely was. But is everybody gonna pretend that he didn't end up being what he was where he just went around strong arming companies for million dollar donations to his Rainbow Coalition nonprofit which allowed him to live a very lavish lifestyle.
Armstrong
Yeah. He would fly in, sit in the CEO's office and say, you're gonna donate half a million dollars or whatever it is to the Rainbow Coalition. Or I'm gonna say you're racist. And they would say we're happy to contribute, Dr. Jackson. Pen the check and off he would fly to the next office. Yeah. It was well known. Well known. He is the living embodiment of Eric Hoffer's brilliant quote. Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business and eventually degenerates into a racket. Why is absolutely the classic case.
Getty
Not even Fox hinted at that today. It was just all who dedicated his life to civil rights and helping the hungry. Okay. Do you say so?
Armstrong
Yeah. It's funny. I was a kid in Chicagoland hearing about Jesse Jackson and his scams. And this is among good churchgoing liberal people who are hardcore into civil rights and the rest of it. They're like, oh my God, Jesse Jackson. Operation Push or the Rainbow Coalition. Solid money making enterprise. Anyway, all right, so he, you know, he stood at MLK side during the heady days of one of the great civil rights campaigns in human history. So good for him. That's fine. That's fine. Speaking of the obnoxious progressive left, we gotta get this on. Michael, I'm gonna call for 80 here. You remember Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the obnoxious, self satisfied, beautiful Marxist wife of Gavin Newsom who made headlines last week for berating the free media for doing their jobs and chastising them for not serving as a loya simpering PR wing of Gabby's presidential aspirations. Unbelievable. Here she is talking to Bloomberg Tech.
Tara Davis Woodhull
What do you make of Tech's turn to the right?
Armstrong
It's disheartening and disturbing. It's very confusing when you spend too much time in your bubble of wealth and perhaps in your limited perspective where you only interact with people of the same economic ilk unless they actually are employed by you. I think that's a really dangerous place. A lot of people are losing their way. The if you. If you're keeping track the specter of one of America's most prominent, furthest left, gender bending Marxist limousine liberals in California lecturing people on maybe being in a bit of a bubble. Good Lord. The irony police have laid down their their weapons and their badges and gone to their homes. Mentioned this earlier, came across this article. He had to. He just won an Olympic medal. First he had to learn German grammar to get on the podium in figure skating. Nikita Volodin had to conquer the triple twist. And Germany's grueling citizenship test. Russian born. It's actually a couple of times that folks have had to at the last minute pass the language exam before they could compete for Germany. This French born Bruno Masso failed the language exam twice before he passed. Just in time to win gold for his adopted home country in 2018. Et cetera, et cetera. You have to pass the Einbergens gun test. A Einburger. Oh good Lord. Ein Burger's test. I studied Germany for half a dozen years. German for half a dozen years. So citizen citizenship exam with multiple choice questions. And I'm going now to Germany's official guide page. Now keep in mind that in the United States it's considered nasty to even ask somebody if they're a citizen.
Getty
Right.
Armstrong
Or to stop them at their border. At the border if they really, really want to come.
Getty
Or to bring up the fact that you don't speak English ever, right?
Armstrong
Exactly. Oh yeah. It's racist and nativist to demand that people learn English. Here is the exam. It assesses the applicant's knowledge of German society, laws, history and values. It's 33 multiple choice questions. You have to take it. It's about an hour long. See, the Life in Germany test is essentially the same exam as the citizenship test, but you have to compete it at the end of an integration course. This is just to live in Germany on a semi permanent basis. Let's see, where do I take the test? How do I prepare for this?
Getty
Oh, but to live in Germany, you have to be able to speak German.
Armstrong
Oh yeah, yeah. And pass it. Test.
Getty
Why does every other country get to do that but us, when we talk about it, it makes monsters of some sort of.
Armstrong
Again, because the mouthpieces of our society, our media, education and entertainment complexes, have given people a wildly twisted view of the rest of the world and what's right and what's wrong. People have completely lost perspective. For instance, there are 33 multiple choice questions on the test. The first 30 questions are focused on general knowledge, such as German history, culture, social rules and regulations. The last three questions are more specific and focused on the region where you live.
Getty
German history, lots of big wars that you started. There's your history, Germany.
Armstrong
There's a bit of that. Sample question, general knowledge. Freedom of expression in Germany means, for example, that I won. May insult passersby on the street. Certainly hope so. What, are you going to take away my hobby to express my opinion on the Internet? Three, may wear Nazi, Hamas or Islamic State symbols in public. Or four, I can only express my opinion as long as I do not contradict the government. So it's interesting. They want them to have a working knowledge of free speech in Germany. What do you call the head of the government of the city state of Berlin? Blah, blah, blah. Let's see. I see. The Burgermeister Meister Burger. That's correct. Yeah. Let's see. Brush up on your German history as some questions will be focused there. Practice your German with native speakers as much as you can as it will help you improve. Take the mock tests at least once a day, regularly, a few weeks before your test. The actual test will be in the same format as the mock exam, so you know what to expect. And there are all sorts of questions about not only history, but laws and rules and regulations in Germany and German customs and that sort of stuff. This is the number one economy in Europe and we're apologetic. Even stopping people at the border. We've gotten so twisted up into knots by our progressive, you know, evildoers, who I named only moments ago. It's crazy.
Getty
So what do you think about the whole. And we're going to get into a little bit later, the Munich Safety Concert Conference. Is that what it's called that security conference that was going on over the weekend and Marco Rubio gave a speech that is getting tremendous accolades. Man. I was thinking how about if Marco Rubio and his name flips out of my head. Rahm Emanuel were the two candidates for the two parties, would that be a return to like grown up politicians having real conversations? Might be. Uh. I don't know if either one of them are going to get the nomination or. But anyway, Marco Rubio gave a great speech over the weekend. But the whole politics ends at the water's edge thing which has never completely been true in my lifetime really. But the going to another country and really, really bad mouth in the United or the president like Gavin Newsom did. Did you see him? He's sitting there and he said we have secret police. Something you all know about here in Germany in our country now comparing our police to Gestapo in a foreign land.
Armstrong
The East German Stasi. Yeah, yeah. Sick. That's awful.
Getty
All right.
Armstrong
More on that to come. Including AOC burnishes her presidential hopes with a foreign policy statement that will not soon be forgotten or comprehended. Stay with us. But first a word from our friends at Simplisafe Home security. Let's talk about something we all want. Peace of mind. And for us that starts with knowing our homes and loved ones are safe. That's why we all trust Simplisafe. The security system millions of Americans rely on to protect what matters most.
Getty
Yeah, we were talking about some super rich guy that has this ridiculous security system and it sounded to me like he had Simplisafe for a lot of it. The sort of stuff where you with the cameras and everything like that. The active guard outdoor protection where you prevent break ins before they happen. You can actually spot people lurking around and catch them before they break into your house.
Armstrong
Yeah, the AI powered cameras do. Then they alert the live professional monitoring agents. So it's not like the other guys who alert you and say you do something about it. I'm in the shower. I'm in a meeting. Whatever. Simplisafe handles it all. No long term contracts or cancellation fees. Monitoring plans start affordably at around a buck a day. So why wait? Protect your home today.

Getty
A couple of presidential hopefuls on the left went to Munich to try to get their foreign policy credentials stamped. And at least according to the mark Halpern newsletter I read over the weekend. He thought Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of she.
Armstrong
The governor yes Submission.
Getty
An F, aoc, an F and Gavin Newsom. Not a very good grade either. All three of them didn't really have a good go of it and didn't seem very prepared for some reason. But anyway, we'll play you some of that this hour and you can determine for yourself and a lot of this other stuff on the way. Stay here.

Worried for you because you're a good athlete, but these guys are another level. I am the highest level. I am the level. No, you're not the level.
Michael
You're a good athlete.
Armstrong
But honestly, when I'm thinking of Saquon Barkley and I'm thinking of like this.
Michael
Is like real football.
Armstrong
This is real competition that I won seven Super Hu. What matters this game March 21st in Saudi. The audacity of Tom Brady.
Michael
I can't believe it.
Armstrong
Win seven Super Bowls. Thinks he could just go around and talk about his flight football game like.
Public Podcast Announcer
It'S going to be the Pro Bowl.
Armstrong
It's going to be way better than that.
Getty
Tom Brady and Logan Paul promoting Saudi Arabian Flag football game.
Armstrong
Wow. Now I'm excited.
Getty
So Saudi Arabia, which is spending lots of money to try to get involved in world sports as they did with golf and what was the other one they got involved in?
Armstrong
The ua, was it the UAE or Cutter hosted the World Cup. Controversially, all those Arab oil shakedoms are trying to, you know, join the rest of the world.
Getty
And remember, they hired all the best comedians to come over there and do a show and now they're trying to hire a bunch of big athletes to come over and play flag football. Well, they hired Tom Brady, Logan Paul. Obviously.
Armstrong
How starved for entertainment are you? If you're thinking, wow, a flag football game in Saudi Arabia. Now you've got my attention. Wow.
Getty
I sent in a text the other day and autocorrect, which I'll never understand. I voice text almost everything and I'll hit it with a, you know, a complicated phrase. It gets it right. I can see it on the screen. It heard it and got it 100 right. And then it changes it to incomprehensible. You got it right the first time. Why did you change it to incomprehensible? I don't understand that.
Armstrong
I'm not an apple basher, but, boy, their AI is pathetic.
Getty
It really is.
Armstrong
Yesterday, as I I need to lose some weight, I was curious. Judy made me an apple pie for my birthday. Fantastic.
Getty
Oh, God, that sounds good.
Armstrong
Oh, so good. God, I gotta get one sliver left.
Getty
God, do I give up my no desserts on my birthday Saturday?
Armstrong
O. Sorry, I might have torture you. Yeah, well, I cheat day. But anyway, what was I saying? Oh. So I said to my phone, I says, hey, Siri. Oh, I'm going to turn on everybody's. Siri, stop. Turn off. I don't want you. Cancel, Cancel. Anyway, I said, quiet. I said, hey, you know what? How many calories are there typically in homemade apple pieces? And after an unforgivably long time in the 21st century, it came back with the number of calories in a commercially produced apple pie. Right?
Getty
Yeah.
Armstrong
I mean, that's just sad.
Getty
But the other day I was texting something and it changed the word or to whore, and, like, the meaning was really not appropriate, especially for who I was sending it to. It really wouldn't have been appropriate for anyone.
Armstrong
Wow.
Getty
But I had to go back and.
Armstrong
Fix that really fast.
Getty
Oh, my God.
Armstrong
Would you like to go out for sushi Horror pizza? Yes. Katie, you know what I don't understand is the Apple AI edit option, where you send a text message and then you can edit it, but then it gives the person the option to look at the text message before it was edited. Agree 100%.
Getty
What is that? Why is that? What? What is this? Well, you already sent it, so you know the law. People have a right to know what you almost sent them.
Commercial Voice 1
What?
Getty
What the hell is that? It's my phone. I'm sending the message. Let me edit it.
Armstrong
I almost just called you a whore. I'm gonna edit this. No, I'm gonna have to stand up for Apple, which I certainly hope will get me a new iPad for free. Once it's on my phone, I don't want them reaching in and editing something that I have on my phone.
Getty
I mean, I just.
Armstrong
If Michelangelo threatens my life again. No, he so often does. Within the edit, Joe, I'm gonna kill you while you sleep. Good luck. I hate you. And then I go to the cops and it says, joe, you're a hell of a guy. I love you. I'm glad we worked together, Mike.
Getty
I'm like, he edited it.
Armstrong
Damn it.
Getty
Damn it.
Armstrong
Then why even have the feature?
Getty
Yeah, I agree. Why have the you can edit it or unsend it feature?
Armstrong
Because I have fat, fat thumbs and I mistakes.
Getty
I agree with Katie. You ought to have the whatever the window is 30 seconds or whatever to edit it and them not see what you almost said. What's the point?
Armstrong
And if it's a situation where someone's threatened your life, Apple has the message we, you know, we can go.
Getty
As we all learned from the whole Nancy Guthrie thing. These companies are hanging on to this stuff forever.
Armstrong
Do you want me to stop at the grocery store whore? Can you?
Getty
Exactly. God, I don't know who it was like to my mom or something. It was really. I don't remember who it was, but it was really inappropriate. Yeah, let me change whore to or would you?
Armstrong
I'm certain I mean the conjunction and not the shot at sex work.
Getty
Pretty sure.
Armstrong
Look that sentence over a couple of times and I'm absolutely confident. Wow.
Getty
I'm trying to indicate a choice between two things. Not exchanging sex for money. Completely different. AOC went to Germany to try to show she's got chops to run for president. And she shows up toward the top of any polls of likely candidates for the Democratic Party. She was asked about Taiwan and it looked like she had never heard the question in her life.
Armstrong
She stepped in the Schmitzen, no doubt. So we'll have AOT's failure and Marco Rubio hitting it out of the park. Our next president. Hmm. Armstrong and Getty.

Legendswithaz.com his legendary fun I watched AOC.
Getty
Answering questions in Munich. This was not a good look for the United States. I watched Gavin Newscom answering questions for Engine in Munich, and this was a bad look for our country. This was a bad. These two people are incompetent. And at least Hillary's confident. She's just Trump deranged. She was so deranged. She is an angry woman. But we're going to play Hillary a little bit later. She. She did get angry at one of the conversations she was having there in Germany about Trump and a variety of things. She's an angry woman.
Armstrong
Trump says in a story that will get 1 1,000th the attention is the disappearance of poor old Mrs. Guthrie. For instance, Marco Rubio went to the Munich security Conference and absolutely knocked it out of the park with his speech, according to everyone, according to hardcore conservatives, war hawks, Europeans. Gerard Baker in the Wall Street Journal called it elegantly bravura. I was going to call it that, too, but he stole the words out of my mouth.
Getty
You know what I. The analysis, I thought that was really interesting from a lot of people I like is he said a lot of the same things J.D. vance said to Europe, but he presented it in such a way that people gave him a standing ovation. And that is. That's politics right there. That's a political trick right there to get people on your side with stuff as opposed to put them in a position of being defensive.
Armstrong
Right. Being unnecessarily a. Richard yeah, I think it is possible in life, in business, in law, in all sorts of areas to keep it positive until there's a reason not to. It's way better for business and it gets you more cooperation, too. And so Marco knocked it out of the park again. If people paid any attention to this sort of thing, I think he would have edged ahead of JD Vance in the who might be the next Parsident Olympics. But it's too early to worry about that much. So let's just hit some of his speech. Michael we'll start with 70.
Michael
Many came to believe that the West's age of dominance had come to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make. This is what we did together once before, and this is what President Trump and the United States want to do again now, together with you. And this is why we do not want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength.
Armstrong
And to me, this is the key bit that is not only really well said, but is the message that needs to be sent. Next clip.
Michael
This is why we do not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, are willing and able to defend it. And this is why we do not want allies to rationalize the broken status quo, rather than reckon with what is what, what is necessary to fix it. For we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.
Armstrong
Amen to that, brother. Wow. That's good stuff.
Getty
Yeah. To the presidential talk. People will be declaring in 10 months running for president, which is 10 months away, but it ain't, you know, five years from now, all indications are, and he has said it out loud several times, if J.D. vance runs, which he will, Marco will not run against him. I don't know why that is, but.
Armstrong
Events, dear boy, events we'll have to see. Right now, JD Looks like he's got the baton in his firm grasp, but.
Getty
I heard talk of smart people that a JD Rubio ticket with JD on top might be the way they handle it. They just announced themselves as a ticket off the bat, completely clear the field. Nobody runs against them. They just. With no competition.
Armstrong
And maybe JD Says. And listen, Marco is going to be my guy for foreign policy. Maybe even make him Veep and Secretary of State.
Getty
Oh, wow.
Armstrong
Wait, I'm blowing my own mind. All right, one more clip of Marco Rubio. 73, please. Michael. This is where he gave our good buddies, our flabby, lazy, quasi socialist good buddies, about a kick in. A little kick in her arse.
Michael
An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny. Not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations. An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does not depend on others for the critical necessities of its national life. And one that does not maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts. And above all, an alliance based on the recognition that we, the west, have inherited together. What we have inherited together is something that is unique and distinctive and Irreplaceable. Because this, after all, is the very foundation of the transatlantic bond.
Armstrong
The Western world need not apologize for itself and it should damn well defend itself. That is just great, great stuff.
Getty
And again he got standing ovation saying more or less the same thing J.D. vance said last year that got him all pissed off.
Armstrong
Well, yeah, just Ian Trump, you know, it's. Well, again, to quote Jerry Baker, more or less from the Journal. What is it? It's right here. It's amazing what you can achieve if you resist the temptation to say you're going to annex Greenland.
Getty
Anyway.

Love that from Marco. Absolutely love it. On the other hand, he wasn't the only foreign policy sage on the scene. Jack, the gentle lady from New York. AOC went to the Munich International. Oh. Oh, that's right. I knew I had one more thing to say. All that stuff about being apologetic and blah, blah, blah, and the past generations and all. Let me translate for you. I went to school for this. Well, Marco was saying. Look. What was. Look, we know you had a Nazi thing like three, four generations ago. We're over it. You get over it. Please, enough. Anyway, so AOC was over there, had a Nazi thing.
Getty
Have you been a good little Nazi?
Armstrong
Well, a long time ago.
Getty
That whole Nazi thing. Remind me to talk about the movie Nuremberg, which I watched with my kids over the weekend. Speaking of the Nazis.
Armstrong
That's right. So AOC was over there at the Munich International Security Conference. What possible reason would she have for being there except to raise her profile as a thinker, as a presidential candidate, as a foreign policy guru? Unfortunately, she was blindsided with an obscure question out of nowhere that nobody could have anticipated. It's a topic nobody ever talks about. How could the poor dear have been prepared? Here's how it went. Would and should the US Actually commit.
Commercial Voice 1
US Troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move? You know, I think that this is such a. You know, I think that this is a.
Armstrong
Yes.
Commercial Voice 1
This is, of course, a very long standing policy of the United States.
Armstrong
And I think what we are hoping.
Commercial Voice 1
For is that we want to make.
Armstrong
Sure that we never get to that point.
Commercial Voice 1
And we want to make sure that.
Armstrong
We are moving in all of our.
Commercial Voice 1
Economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise.
Armstrong
Economic research in global positions. Yes. Yes. I haven't thought of that.
Getty
One of the obvious questions is how you go. How you decide to go to the Munich Security Conference to show off your foreign policy skills and not have anybody on your team bring up maybe the Number one foreign policy topic on planet Earth. If it's not number one, it's certainly right up there. And because she, the look on her face was like she had never thought about it in her life or heard of it.
Armstrong
Right, right. Is this her? Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall quote. You know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is, this is of course a very long standing policy of the United States. Mr. Gorbachev.
Getty
You know, I watched more of her stuff and, and her answers on like your social justice stuff are really good, you know, for, for that crowd. Well, she, she is, she is fluent in that language in a way that I'm not. I mean, I, I would get blindsided. I'm in some question about, you know, food handouts or whatever because I don't live in that world and think about things that way. She's really good at that sort of stuff. But man, if you want to run for president, you gotta at least that mean that's not a gotcha question. That's not sitting George Bush down like this made in one interview and saying, who's the president of Bolivia? Do you know that? You know, like that sort of thing? No, this is a big question that everybody's going to have to deal with.
Armstrong
Perhaps the biggest and most immediate question in foreign policy.
Getty
Are we going to defend Taiwan if China tries to take it? And she's. Oh, boy, dummy boy. As Charles C.W. cook of the National Review said, the problem is she's a stupid communist.
Tara Davis Woodhull
Some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere, like such as.
Armstrong
I would argue that that young woman's answer was more substantive than aoc.
Getty
Well, always the question, if AOC, exact same personality and answers, was a middle aged, bald, fat guy, would she have gotten anywhere?
Armstrong
Right. Well, he's neither stupid nor a communist. He's incredibly cynical. And he's so visibly turgid for the Oval Office he has to button his sport coat to hide it. Gavin Newsom. What did he choose to do when he was there in Munich? Why praise the communist Chinese, our greatest geopolitical adversary, which is just interesting. 75 Michael. China gets it. Look at their GDP growth last year. Where was their GDP growth? Disproportionately? It was in the clean energy space. All right, Kiss Xi Jinping's ass. Gabby. That's a good. America loves you for that. Unbelievable.
Getty
Yeah, I didn't like him talking about how we have secret police in the United States. I mean, you know something about that here. And taps the guy in the shoulder of the German. German. That ain't they don't go, don't go to foreign soil and bad mouth is that way. I don't like that.
Armstrong
Oh my God. They would machine gun people who tried to escape from their communist hellhole. Gavi. Oh yeah, that's disgusting.
Getty
And you know, just to throw it out there, I didn't dig when Trump sided with Putin over our intelligence services back in the day. So I'm not looking at this one a one sided way.
Armstrong
No, indeed. But what of the, the old hand, the sage Hillary Clinton. She was there too. We're going to get to next. Yeah.
Getty
Next next segment. She, she's, she's a smart woman. She got really angry when she got pushed by one of the people on the stage. It's why she didn't get elected president. When she gets angry. Man, that voice is hard to take. Anyway, we got a lot, we got a lot of stuff on the ways.
Armstrong

We should revisit that horrifying shooting in Rhode island at the hockey match. If you've heard of that and haven't heard that the shooter was trans, that's being left out on purpose because that's three of the last five mass shootings, I think.
Armstrong
Think at least maybe four of the last six. Yeah. And this is a tiny part of the population. Yeah. Let's start talking honestly about this place.
Getty
So we've been talking about this Munich security conference because all the heavyweights went over there and talked about a variety of things. Hillary got into it with the Czech deputy prime minister over the weekend. So this dude, the Czech deputy prime minister attempted to defend defend President Trump's policies. Hillary was up there where we pick up here in the Sound. She had just done a long laundry list of how Trump had betrayed the west, seeking unaccountable power by modeling himself after Putin. That's Hillary talking about the sitting president.
Armstrong
In Munich on a stage as Germany and other countries get Ready for actual war with Putin, Former Secretary of State.
Getty
I just. Man, that is the sort of thing that would not have happened in the past. I guess some of you who hate Trump would say, well, Trump's not like anything in the past. But there, there you go with our race to the bottom. Anyway, so he and Hillary get into it here as he's trying to stand up for Trump and she is not having it. Hillary doesn't like Trump much. I don't know if you remember 2016, but anyway, here we go. Peter, do you agree that the Trump administration's actions on Ukraine have produced a rift in the West?
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
Well, first, I think you really don't like him.
Armstrong
You know, that is absolutely true. But I really, not only do I not like him, I don't like him because of what he's doing to the United States and the world. And I think you should take a hard look at it if you think that there is something good that will come out of it.
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
What I think, what I think Trump is doing in America, I think it is reaction, reaction, reaction for something that, for some policies that really went too far, too far from the regular people, too far from reality. So, you know, we saw the cancel culture, we saw the woke revolution. I don't agree with the gender revolution. The climate alarmism, gender, women having their rights.
Getty
No, let Peter go on.
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
I think there are two genders. So. But, but some of us can. Some of us, some of us think that there is more than one or more than two. Sorry, more than two. Gender. I think there is male and female, and the rest probably is a social construct. So this is something that went too far.
Getty
Man, that's no country for old women. That's someone who's stuck in the 70s. He brings up genders and she thinks it's all about, you know, the era and equal rights for women.
Armstrong
No pants. No.
Getty
I don't know if you've been following the news lately, but when you bring up gender and wokeness, you're talking about the trans thing and the. There's 15 different genders and blah, blah, blah. That's what.
Armstrong
He's teaching that to little children, right?
Getty
Come on, Hillary.
Armstrong
You mean we don't. Women don't get their rights? Oh, my God. What are you. Wow.
Getty
Join the now. I mean, that was kind of juicy. Let's roll on.
Armstrong
But does that justify selling out the people of Ukraine who are on the front lines dying to save their freedom and their two genders? If that's what you're worried about.
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
Can I please finish my points. I'm, I'm sorry that it makes you, makes you nervous. I'm really sorry for that.
Armstrong
Make me nervous. It makes me.
Getty
No, no, no, no. But seriously, can we let Peter finish, please? I have to finish, please.
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
I have to. I have to say one more thing. You said that Ukraine fights for our future and for our freedom. I think first, Ukraine fights for Ukraine's future, Ukraine's freedom and Ukraine's sovereignty and independence. So we should help them.
Getty
Of course.
Peter (Czech Deputy Prime Minister)
But I what I see in some people in the west, they are trying to misuse. Help the Ukraine. But that's another question. I don't know.
Getty
Okay, we gotta cut it off there just because we're out of time. But it's interesting that the host jumped in with the. Hey, hey, let him finish with the former Secretary of State of the United States.
Armstrong
Right, right. I wouldn't mind hearing him tease out the rest of that. But yeah, I mean, Ukraine's fighting for Ukraine. The whole. They're fighting for freedom around the globe. All right, I'm a grown up. I mean I'm, I'm with them. I'm against Russia. But they're fighting to survive.

Episode: Oh No! He's Vomiting, Folks.
Date: February 17, 2026
This episode of the Armstrong & Getty Show revolves around current political events, media narratives, and recent international conferences, with a characteristic blend of sharp critique, humor, and cultural commentary. The hosts dissect coverage of public figures (notably Jesse Jackson), scrutinize progressive politics, evaluate the performances of U.S. politicians abroad—including at the Munich Security Conference—and digress into topics ranging from AI autocorrect fails to U.S. citizenship requirements versus Europe. The titular "vomiting" refers to co-host Getty's exasperation (and a running joke) about media whitewashing certain topics.
"Is everybody going to pretend that he didn't end up being what he was where he just went around strong arming companies for million dollar donations to his Rainbow Coalition nonprofit...?" (03:49)
"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business and eventually degenerates into a racket. Why is absolutely the classic case." (04:33)
"In the United States, it's considered nasty to even ask somebody if they're a citizen." (08:05)
"Why does every other country get to do that but us, when we talk about it, it makes monsters of some sort of." (09:08)
"Many came to believe that the West's age of dominance had come to an end... together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make." (29:01)
"We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization..." (29:57)
"An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control... an alliance based on the recognition that we, the west, have inherited together... something that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable." (31:53)
"She was asked about Taiwan and it looked like she had never heard the question in her life." (23:02)
"That's not a gotcha question. That's... maybe the Number one foreign policy topic on planet Earth." (37:02)
"He said we have secret police—something you all know about here in Germany in our country now—comparing our police to Gestapo in a foreign land." (12:25)
"They would machine gun people who tried to escape from their communist hellhole." (39:06)
"It changed the word or to whore, and, like, the meaning was really not appropriate, especially for who I was sending it to..." (20:28)
"How starved for entertainment are you? If you're thinking, wow, a flag football game in Saudi Arabia..." (18:50)
"I think there are two genders. So. But, but some of us can. Some of us, some of us think that there is more than one or more than two. Sorry, more than two. Gender. I think there is male and female, and the rest probably is a social construct." (45:30)
The episode features Armstrong and Getty’s trademark blend of satirical sharpness, skepticism toward media and progressive politics, irreverent banter, and the occasional serious policy analysis. There’s affectionate ribbing, pointed sarcasm, and a palpable frustration with what the hosts perceive as hypocrisy or a lack of common sense among political and media elites.
This episode is a quintessential Armstrong & Getty experience—combining heady policy debate, unfiltered opinions on culture and current events, and sardonic takes on everything from autocorrect to international diplomacy. The breakdown of the Munich Security Conference performances and the mockery of media/political doublespeak serve as the episode's backbone, with both earnest and humorous moments throughout. Ideal listening for those who like their political commentary both biting and broad.
