Major Discussion Points & Insights

1. Media Obsession with Celebrity Crime & The Limits of Addiction Treatment

• Nick Reiner Double Murder Story ([02:33]–[06:40])
  • The hosts critique wall-to-wall media coverage of Nick Reiner, a man from a prominent family accused of murdering his parents, questioning why such cases dominate the headlines when there’s little new information:
    • Jack Armstrong: "There's nothing to learn in this story at this point... Why is this the lead story in America?" ([03:16])
    • Joe Getty suggests the unending fascination: "Is it just celebrity? Celebrity and murder, those two things combined are just irresistible for a lot of people." ([03:55])
  • Discussion shifts to addiction, using Reiner’s history as a lens.
    • Joe Getty: "Families that have all the resources in the world can't beat addiction if the addict can’t get there... You have to want to a lot." ([04:19])
    • Jack Armstrong: "There's a big difference between really thinking you want to quit and actually quitting or what that leap is. Nobody really knows." ([04:55])
  • They note the futility and frustration for families, regardless of resources, and question prevailing ideas about rehab and "tough love".

2. Health Care Policy: The GOP’s Proposal for Small Businesses

• Republican Health Bill ([06:49]–[09:00])
  • Discussion of a GOP bill designed to help small businesses avoid strict Obamacare mandates, allowing for association health plans and health reimbursement arrangements:
    • Joe Getty: "The Republican bill would make it easier for small businesses to escape the Obamacare regulatory morass... expand risk pools a lot, and give small employers more leverage with insurers." ([06:49])
    • Jack Armstrong finds humor in pre-Obamacare requirements: "That was very mockable at the time." ([07:54])
  • Skepticism is expressed over whether the plan will succeed in a partisan environment, and they critique Obamacare’s costs and bureaucracy.

3. The Inertia of Government Spending

• Revisiting a Dispatch article about government spending:
  • Joe Getty: "It may be the single most depressing thing I've ever read as the citizen of a free state... how incredibly complex, slow, and difficult it is to get rid of any government spending or any government programs." ([09:00])
  • Jack Armstrong: "That is so frustrating. But yeah, it's an immovable logic." ([09:42])

4. Alcohol Guidelines and Distrust in Scientific Associations

• Shifting Alcohol Health Advice ([09:46]–[11:45])
  • The American Heart Association reverses position, now saying moderate drinking could be good, prompting skepticism toward expert organizations:
    • Joe Getty: "Hadn't most of us assumed that the American Association of Pediatrics, or the American Heart Association... were just rock solid, science based, sober... serious people that would never do anything but give us the truth?" ([10:21])
    • Jack Armstrong: "I almost hate to say yes... but yes, that's exactly what I thought my whole life." ([11:01])
  • They call out politicization of associations, referencing pediatrics groups, AARP, and the CDC, especially their pandemic management.

5. Political Deceit and "Google-Proof" Nominations in New York

• Zoran Mumdani’s Mayoral Transition Team ([13:16]–[15:23])
  • Discussion of New York’s soon-to-be mayor’s team intentionally misspelling appointees’ names to thwart background checks.
    • Joe Getty: "His transition team is intentionally misspelling the names of several appointees... so you can't google them and find out who they really are." ([13:16])
    • Jack Armstrong: "That is pretty clever, though. You slightly misspell your name so that people can't background check you." ([15:16])

6. Humorous Segments: Donor Names and Holiday Banter

• Donor Name Gags for Scouting Fundraiser ([18:12]–[21:12])
  • Reading out tongue-in-cheek donor names (e.g., "Future Beaver Overlords," "Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio," "Jack's neck valve").
  • Jack Armstrong: "The idea is you got a little hole in the side of your neck with a valve... when you're eating stuff you just want to taste but don't actually want it to go in your stomach." ([19:57])
  • Light banter about Christmas gift-giving with cash, using "rainmaker" gift boxes.

7. European Tensions and War Readiness

• Europe Preparing for War ([21:44]–[22:39])
  • Discussing statements from MI6 and European leaders regarding escalating tensions, cyber warfare, and the real risk of direct conflict with Russia.
    • Jack Armstrong: "One of these attempted drone attacks is successful. All of a sudden you got a big war going. Holy cow." ([22:39])

8. Seattle Pride, International Football, and the Irony of Scheduling

• Seattle’s Pride Week World Cup Draw ([27:03]–[28:49])
  • The hosts riff on the coincidence of Egypt and Iran playing in Seattle during Pride, nations not known for LGBT friendliness.
    • Jack Armstrong: "Not your gayest countries." ([27:54])
    • Nellie Bowles satirical quote read by Joe: "All I can say is I was supposed to be the Pride Float Grand Marshal but now they tell me I have to be pushed off a Pride roof instead." ([28:49])

• Candace Owens on Russell Brand’s Podcast ([29:11]–[33:39])
  • They respond in horror to an antisemitic screed by Candace Owens, read from her podcast appearance.
    • Joe Getty: "That is unmitigated calling for the slaughter of Jews." ([31:27])
    • Jack Armstrong: "That's the most anti-Jew thing I think I've ever heard." ([31:33])
  • Discuss the long history of antisemitism and the human tendency to seek scapegoats.

10. Behind-the-Scenes: Candace Owens Encounter & Reflections

• Personal Story About Meeting Candace Owens ([35:56]–[37:28])
  • They describe Owens as previously "aloof" and reflect on her transformation from a young anti-victimhood commentator to her current, more radical persona.
    • Jack Armstrong: "She just, she, she was just aloof, like incredibly aloof... She turns out to be a complete nut job." ([36:33])

11. AI “George Washington” Interview by Glenn Beck

• Satirical and Serious Take on America’s Malaise ([41:42]–[46:42])
  • Glenn Beck's creation of an AI George Washington who opines on the moral decay of modern America.
    • AI George Washington: "America's biggest problem isn’t political or economic. It’s all moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place." ([43:50])
    • Jack Armstrong acknowledges: "Part of the problem is a lot of the morals, virtues... came out of being a religious people." ([45:28])
  • The hosts agree with the diagnosis of moral decline but question whether religion is a panacea.

Overall Tone & Takeaways

True to Armstrong & Getty’s style, the episode weaves together critique, skepticism, and dry humor across the spectrum of current affairs. They probe deep frustrations—society’s recurring problems with addiction, the sclerosis of government, distrust in institutions, and renewed forms of bigotry—while leavening the conversation with running jokes, sarcastic asides, and absurd mental pictures (from “neck valves” to “home strip clubs”). Even as topics shift, their tone remains sharply observant, blending resigned realism with a plea for moral clarity and social sanity.

[Announcer]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty enough.

[Joe Getty]

He's Armstrong and Getty. About like a year ago I guess I got back. I got back on dope and other things and I wound up having a cocaine heart attack and I just was like, you know what? I want to go home. And so I just stayed sober long enough till I could go home and then I went home and did it. I just wanted to get back to my old life of, like, smoking weed, kind of taking some pills, like, doing whatever I wanted.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's accused double murderer Nick Reiner in 2018. But there's lots of audio of him and video because there's documentaries and lots of interviews. Been a drug addict various times homeless. Decided to slit the throat of both his parents over the weekend. We know that story. One thing we've discussed for several days now, because I was looking up at the major network newscasts and the cable newscasts at the top of the hour, everybody led with some sort of update on the story. There's nothing to learn in this story at this point. There really hasn't been for several days. Why, why, why is this the lead story in America?

[Joe Getty]

Is it just celebrity? Celebrity and murder, those two things combined are just irresistible for a lot of people.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm not pulled into this one particularly other than trying to gauge how interested you all are. But like OJ I was super into. Why was OJ Different? Because the celebrity had committed the murders.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Which is itself shocking. And there was investigation and trial, and people love that. Yeah. Yeah. I actually think there is something to be learned here, but it has nothing to do with what the media is talking about, honestly. And that's the nature of addiction. And families that have all the resources in the world can't beat addiction if the addict can't, you know, get there. I don't know, how would you characterize it? You can want to. To get clean completely and still fail at it, but you've got to want to a lot. And I'm not sure he did.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, there's, there's a big difference between really thinking you want to quit and actually quitting or what that leap is. Nobody really knows.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. But I would, I would love to hear this in the context and longtime listeners of the show. Under. We've, We've. We've covered this before, but that the idea of you've got to get them into rehab.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

For every junkie on the streets, don't, don't tell them to stop doing drugs and don't put them in jail. Having a disease isn't a crime. Just give them a resource to get into rehab.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, like, listen to that clip there. Just thinking that he did have a place where he could go and be comfortable and do drugs makes it way more likely you're going to continue doing drugs. Obviously. Now, that's not the only answer, because you would think looking around, you know, California, for instance, it doesn't look, you know, being Rob Reiner's son hanging out at some apartment doing drugs would probably be pretty comfy. Living under a bridge in the cold weather, scrounging for food, sleeping on a sidewalk. Doesn't look pleasant at all. And people keep doing it.

[Joe Getty]

Getting your stuff stolen semi regularly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Beat up or raped. And people still do it. So I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I agree. The. The biggest story there is the addiction. And what do you do about it?

[Joe Getty]

God.

[Jack Armstrong]

There but for the grace of God. Can you imagine how frustrating that is as a parent? You've got all the money in the world. You've had all the success in the world and you just can't figure out a way to force this kid, help this kid stop.

[Joe Getty]

And they tried. Tough love. Kicking them out. You know, warm embrace. You know, enabling. Not enabling.

[Jack Armstrong]

Dozen 15 rehabs.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, at least.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. And it's just crazy.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. So just going to kind of make the rounds of a handful of stories that are interesting and. Or amusing. You might want to sit down to hear this.

[Jack Armstrong]

The.

[Joe Getty]

The shock may overwhelm you. The GOP has actually come up with a really good idea on health care. Whether it'll go anywhere is in doubt, of course, because of the nature of our idiotic partisan politics. But the Republican bill would make it easier for small businesses to escape the Obamacare regulatory mor. The bill would expand so called association health plans that let bunches of small employers unite to sponsor group health plans that would reduce premiums by expanding the risk pools a lot and give small employers more leverage with insurers. And the plans wouldn't have to adhere to the many insane Obamacare rules which as you may remember were all about okay, we're gonna make everybody buy like complete care. Dudes have gotta get maternity and healthy young people have got to get like geriatric. Everybody can order the whole thing because that's the only way we're gonna get enough money together to subsidize the actual people involved.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'd forgotten that angle of it. That was very mockable at the time.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah, yeah. They still couldn't charge more for workers with pre existing health conditions, but worker premiums for association plans would likely be lower than for Obamacare plans. And workers might also see an increase in take home pay if their employer's insurance costs fall. Association plans won't work for all small businesses. But the GOP bill offers another option. Health reimbursement arrangements. These would let employers make tax free payments for employees to buy their own health insurance in lieu of sponsoring a group plan. It's Creative. It's interesting. It's absolutely worth looking at. Never let anybody tell you anything other than the fact that Obamacare is a complete disaster. It is a disaster that has only enriched insurance companies. Enough on that. I read a piece entitled why Doge Failed to Slash Spending by a plucky young gal by the name of Jessica Rydle in the Dispatch. It may be the single most depressing thing I've ever read as the citizen of a free state.

[Jack Armstrong]

Jessica Riedel, formerly. What was his first name before?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, is that right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I've been into him for years. He's one of the great writers about economics on the conservative side that exist. But he finally came out as a woman and is now Jessica Rydle.

[Joe Getty]

Former dude. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that's. That's a shame. I hope you can get help for your issues. But it is an absolutely terrific article about how incredibly complex, slow, and difficult it is to get rid of any government spending or any government programs. I will not torture you with it because I don't want to depress you, but holy cow, are we up against it. Moving along.

[Jack Armstrong]

That. That is so frustrating. But yeah, it's an immovable logic.

[Joe Getty]

I think it would be good for all Americans to hear and read the entire thing. You'd probably get paywalled. But it's, It's. It's depressing anyway. This is slightly less depressing. The Heart Association. The American Heart association has revived the theory that light drinking may be good for you, pissing off all sorts of other associations that had decided even one or two drinks a day raise the risk of various stuff. And nobody should drink. And if you don't drink, you shouldn't start.

[Jack Armstrong]

In other news, moderate exercise is the worst thing you can do.

[Joe Getty]

Oh. Anyway, so it's. It's an unintentionally funny piece about how, you know, it's just all these associations. I don't think a lot of us had realized. Let me put it to you like this. Tell me if I'm wrong. Hadn't most of us assumed that the American association of Pediatrics, for instance, or the American Art association or. Or what's the Endocrine Society? We're just rock solid, science based, sober, no pun intended. Like Solomonic arbiters, serious people that would never do anything but give us the truth as they could find it?

[Jack Armstrong]

I almost hate to say yes. Cause it's embarrassing that I thought that, but yes, that's exactly what I thought my whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I think we all did. No, they're highly politicized. Organizations sometimes taken over by activists like transgender rights activists. No offense to Mr. Ms. Ridle.

[Jack Armstrong]

I thought that about the AARP my whole life. It's just a group for old people. No, they're an activist group.

[Joe Getty]

Hey. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And don't get me started about the various pediatrics groups that have gone hardcore in mutilating children who are momentarily confused about their sex.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'll never believe this. Cdc, obviously, anybody who lived through Covid. If you believe anything the CDC ever says ever again in your life, you're nuts.

[Joe Getty]

Perhaps back to the alcohol story. Everything in moderation. A philosophy that's thousands of years old. Coming up, a shocking, and I'm serious, shocking story about Zoran Mumdani's mayoral transition team. After a word about delicious, delicious steak from. Oh, steaks so good.

[Jack Armstrong]

My son wants steak for his birthday. So, yeah, people love steaks. Omaha Steak. We got lots of Omaha stuff. They got the steaks, which are really, really delicious. Filet mignon. That is just unbelievable. The burgers are unbelievable. The hot dogs. How do you make a better hot dog? They do somehow. The apple tart. Let's give me a break.

So how a, Internet savvy and B, despicable is this Zoran Mumdani, the America hating Islamist soon to be mayor of New York. His transition teams. His transition team is intentionally misspelling the names of several appointees, including two of his most controversial picks. So you can't google them and find out who they really are and what they really believe. That's pretty clever and insidious. Among them, controversial rapper Mizon Lennon, an ex con who served seven years in state prison whose first name was botched as Mysoon when his appointment to the Committee on the Criminal Legal System was announced last month.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is he actually a rapper? Like, you know, has recorded stuff that gets played anywhere? Just because you rap, you're not a rapper.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, every kid with a guitar in a garage in America isn't a musician per se.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

I guess they are. But anyway, the first name of black nationalist Lumumba Bandela was also butchered in the press release as the mayoral transition announced he'd serve on Mamdani's committee on Community Organizing. The apparent typos didn't end there. According to the New York Post, Sarita Daftari of the Freedom Agenda, a group that describes itself as, quote, dedicated to organizing people in communities directly impacted by incarceration to achieve decarceration and systemic transformation, had her last name misspelled.

[Jack Armstrong]

Decarceration. Shut up.

[Joe Getty]

Mary Travis Bassett. Different spelling. According to the announcement from Mandani's team, Parmen Professor Public Health was named the Transition Committee on Health. Other misspelled names. You know, it's possible these people just suck at spelling and don't recheck their work.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is pretty clever, though. You slightly misspell your name so that people can't background check you.

[Joe Getty]

Right?

[Jack Armstrong]

The things you've said in the past.

[Joe Getty]

The radical leftists. Yeah, unbelievable.

[Jack Armstrong]

Person running MI6 for Great Britain gave a little speech that's highly troubling. Europe seems to be gearing up for war. There's a Wall Street Journal article about that the other day. We should be paying attention to this, for crying out loud. Among other things. We got on the way. Got some pretty funny names for people who've donated to scouting. Hit you with those. Love that.

Hey, get this woman just got reunited with her dog that went missing five years ago after it was found 2,300 miles away. Wow. The woman was thrilled while the dog was like, take a hint, Helen. Wow. That's a great joke. That's a great joke.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is a good joke. That's amazing though. So we like it when people do funny names to donate money when we're raising money for a good cause like scouting. So the idea is that if there are kids out there that would like to, you know, join the scouts, but their family doesn't have the couple hundred dollars it takes to do that. Well, we're gonna, we're gonna provide them the money so they can so that there's no kid out there that can't join. And we're trying to raise $100,000. You can go to Armstrongandgetty.com to donate. Future Beaver Overlords gave 25 bucks.

[Joe Getty]

Appreciate that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Thank you kind and benevolent Beaver Overlords.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lincoln penny in for 25 bucks. Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio jumped in with $70.

[Joe Getty]

That's a generous contribution. Of course she can afford it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I meant to have you get this clip for Michael. Somebody tongue tied Jack. All Nar Nar donated $25. I barely remember that. Remember, I got at the end of a segment and I couldn't say some word.

[Joe Getty]

You're trying to rush in a tease or something right at the very end as the clock was ticking. Yeah, we're hitting the bottom of the hour. All Learner.

[Jack Armstrong]

Donated $25 Jack's neck valve $260. That's something I've been pushing for a long time.

[Joe Getty]

You chew it, you taste it, you enjoy it, you swallow it, it goes out your neck valve before you gain weight.

[Jack Armstrong]

You haven't heard this, Katie. So the idea is you got a little hole in the side of your neck with a valve on it. And you wear this, a pack on your back. And it could be decorative, matches your outfit or whatever, but when you're eating stuff you just want to taste but don't actually want it to go in your stomach. It goes down and it goes out the tube into your. Your little sack that you're carrying. So you don't take in all the fat and nutrients and calories and everything like that. It's obviously a good idea. I don't hate it. I know. If you're gonna cut the penis off boys who decide they're a girl, I don't know why you can't get this done. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Not sure I'm finding your argument compelling there, but it's a good point.

[Jack Armstrong]

50 bucks from the Burden of Damascus. We won't explain that one.

[Joe Getty]

That's unfortunate.

[Jack Armstrong]

A hundred dollars for dumb as a couple of bottle caps.

[Joe Getty]

Is that a.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did somebody use that term?

[Joe Getty]

Probably.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then 40 bucks from Sarah loves show. Met on Armstrong and Getty Facebook group. So it must be a couple who got together on the Facebook group, which is very nice. Bringing. Bringing people together and in love. That's very, very nice. Let's get a quick total there before I move on to something else. Gladys, if you could roll the drums. On our way to $100,000, I hope we are now at 66,755 do. 25 bucks from. Somehow he got on the roof. So just came across this. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal a little bit earlier in the week that Europe is preparing its people for war. Some of the stuff that's been said by the leader of Germany, France and Great Britain certainly lead you to believe that. Man, that's a big deal. A big damn deal. I don't know why this isn't being talked about more. It's got to do with the peace plan between Russia and Ukraine. And the fact that some of these European countries are going to put troops on the ground and if Russia attacks, you're at war with Russia right at that point. Anyway, this woman who runs MI6, that's the Britain spy agency that's the equivalent of the CIA. Is MI6 or is it MI5? I get it mixed up either way. One of their intelligence agents external, I.

[Joe Getty]

Believe five is internal, so it'd be their CIA.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think we are in a space between peace and war, she said. Just below the threshold of war, including cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, drones buzzing airports and military bases and other things. We're just below being at war with Russia right now.

[Joe Getty]

Right. And being that close matters. I I felt that when I was in Europe, it was like, wow, that's going on just like 300 miles that way. It matters.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, plus, one of these attempted drone attacks is successful. All of a sudden you got a big war going. Holy cow. Anyway, if you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on Demand.

[Joe Getty]

The animals at the London Zoo getting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Into the holiday spirit.

[Joe Getty]

And it seems like Santa arrived early there. Monkeys were treated to stockings garnished with sweet corn while the gorillas had to.

[Jack Armstrong]

Rummage through festive bags of their favorite snacks. Oh, good for the gorillas rummaging through festive bags of their favorite snacks.

[Joe Getty]

That was a really weird delivery with.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of the gorillas saying, hey, I feel like we've commercialized this too much. Let's remember the reason for the season.

[Joe Getty]

And then he broke the zookeeper in half. This mighty, mighty gorilla strength.

[Jack Armstrong]

Speaking of Christmas and the fact that I've purchased nothing yet for Christmas, I'm warming to this idea of cash. Joe suggested just getting twenties. However money I would decide to get.

[Joe Getty]

In the wrapper though, like out of a movie.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm thinking wrap each one individually in a little. So you've got a number of presents to open up. But each present you open up is a $20 bill until you have, you know, a number of $20 bills.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Different size boxes and you know, I think my shapes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. I think my kids at the current age would really enjoy that. Yes, Katie, there are a series of gift boxes you can purchase on Amazon where you, you put the bill and then you put the little box on top and you rinse and repeat and they layer and when you open it, it explodes and the money just flies everywhere. That's kind of cool.

[Joe Getty]

That is making it rain like you're a rapper at a strip club. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's turn Christmas around the tree on Jesus's birthday into our own little home strip club.

[Joe Getty]

That's like you're a young 50 Cent. That's fantastic. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe I Could get some young hottie to grind to a White Snake song while we're enjoying it.

[Joe Getty]

You pay enough, you can.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Merry Christmas, everyone. Coming up, our old friend Glenn Beck with some interesting unintentional hilarity. And just. It's just interesting. But first, a couple of things. First of all, quoting the great Nelly Bowles, who became aware, as we did, that Seattle is hosting a World cup match during Pride Month. Pride weekend, Pride Week, whatever. It's every three days. Is Pride something. Anyway, but it's, like, right at the height of it, and they were going to have an up with the gays theme for the Pride match. They were going to call it, and. But there's a blind draw for who's in the game. They did the draw, and it's Egypt and Iran, if you can imagine that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not your gayest countries.

[Joe Getty]

So Nelly writes, God has a sense of humor. You see, Seattle goes hard for pride. Every resident in Seattle wears rainbow face paint for the entire month. And every dog is dyed rainbow colors. Even the straights do some leather play in solidarity. But the Egyptians and Iranians have asked Seattle if they could pretend not to be so gay for, like, 36 hours. On the one hand, good progressives in Seattle believe that no culture is better than another. So Iran has a good point when they scream, death to gays. On the other hand, that's a great shot at progressives. On the other hand, Pride month, the greatest 30 days of the year, cannot be neglected. So what will Seattle do? All I can say is I was supposed to be the Pride of Float Grand Marshal, but now they tell me I have to be pushed off a Pride roof instead. I'll still do it because I'm in too deep to turn back now, but it's not what I signed up for. Seattle.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, Nelly, I am in love with your influence.

[Jack Armstrong]

Pride roof.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. And speaking of bigots of whatever sort, this is unbelievable. Russell Brand, who is half a nut, sleaze ball of a variety of descriptions.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'm told a comedian, though I've never heard him say anything funny, had.

[Joe Getty]

Had Candace Owens on his podcast, and it was said to be like a hallucination. And this is a portion of the conversation that Russell's team is using to publicize the Sit down. Like, this is the hook. This is the good part. Okay. And I'm going to read it to you so we can. Jack, stop me anytime you want and we can discuss.

[Jack Armstrong]

He was married to astronaut Katy Perry, correct?

[Joe Getty]

That is correct. But those lonely, lonely months when she was at the space station was too much for him anyway. So this is Candace Owens explaining something. Sigmund Freud came from a Sabbatician family. This is Jewish mysticism. And they believe that this man, Shabbat Zavi, was their Messiah. He was a homosexual psychopath who believed in practicing INC as a sacrament. This is how they were going to move forward in the world. And Sigmund Freud discovered that the reason they do this is because it conditions the child to grow up to be a psychopath because of what they have to go through trying to understand why their parents did this. This is real. All of these authors are Jewish. They support the Jewish movement. The second author, David Bakan, I think actually regrets writing his book because he thought it was going to be like, like expose of why the Jews in Europe should be sympathized for. And then people went, wait, what's going on here? It's right in your face. What's going on. They have a tremendous amount of power. They've always had power. And it is because what they believe in is evil is okay. They believe in the doctrine of evil, that you must lower yourselves and commit the most depraved acts of evil to prove that evil doesn't actually exist. And then you can ascend in society. That to me seems to be the guiding philosophy of people in Israel. I would say, like this idea that you can commit acts of evil to get ahead in society. When I see what's happening in Gaza, how do you look at this and not understand this is evil? Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's from Candace Owens.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, yes. Wow. And I hate to make a joke here, but Nelly Bowles again. Comments. Ma', am, this is a Panera bread. I'm sorry, that is so funny. But that is unmitigated calling for the slaughter of Jews.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's the most anti Jew thing I think I've ever heard.

[Joe Getty]

And that, I mean you've got the Islamists who want to kill the Jews, you've got. I don't even know what to call that part of the so called right wing. It's a horseshoe theory. But it's a horseshoe if it was melted and like twisted all up and it's unrecognizable. Is that left? Right? It's crazy. Then you've got the progressive left who bought the whole settler, colonial victim, oppressor, genocide crap and they want to kill the Jews. Good Lord.

[Jack Armstrong]

I get. I, I've got to accept that this has been around forever, this right, blaming things on the Jews. I still don't get it though. I still like, like I don't get it just for some reason.

[Joe Getty]

Why the Jews, they are an outsider group and they are successful.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is it their success that damns them so much?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's part of it. Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that they have different beliefs than various other groups and.

[Jack Armstrong]

But there's a lot of other. Like it doesn't. People don't do this with Buddhists. I know it's causing this. The Buddhists.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, the Buddhists aren't like don't value education and hard work which gets them then monetary success in the way that.

[Jack Armstrong]

The Jews do more Nobel Prizes than any other group of people and all that sort of stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. So people hate them for that. They're Nobel Prizes. Yeah, it's intellectually lazy, it's morally depraved and I despise it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, for the record, I'm always talking about reading Ulysses and the amount of the main character, Bloom is Jewish and the amount of dealing with people who hate him because he's Jewish in Ireland in 1904 is just what it's been around forever.

[Joe Getty]

Human beings need scapegoats. That's just a part of our unholy psychology, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Remains of the day, which I read last. Last year. A famous movie with Anthony Hopkins. A more famous book is all about the super wealthy powerful in England in the early 20th century and now they blaming the Jews. You know what the problem is? The Jews.

[Joe Getty]

Right, Right. Yeah. Unbelievable. So a quick word from our friends at Webroot, then I'll pay off the Glenn Beck thing I mentioned earlier. A lot of folks give technology for Christmas and then the person goes to use it. But maybe they're not super Internet savvy. Or maybe they are and immediately they click on a your package is delayed link or something like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Candace Owens had a off the record, quiet, sit down multi hour meeting with Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica Kirk.

[Joe Getty]

Erica Kirk, Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then came out and badmouthed her some more. I think Erica Kirk was thinking maybe if I just talk to her now. They used to be friends. Maybe if I just talk to her I can end all this so I don't have to be answering these questions all the time as Candace Owens puts out this nonsense. And it didn't work because Candace Owens is a freaking nut job or just a grifter. Right?

[Joe Getty]

Right. Both.

[Jack Armstrong]

How.

[Joe Getty]

How old is she?

[Jack Armstrong]

Candace? Yeah, pretty young. Somebody google that, will ya? Katie, how old is Candace Owens?

[Joe Getty]

I just, I'm seriously wondering whether. Because psychosis tends to develop in late teens and twenties if you're going to get a psychotic condition.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was just curious, what do you got? Say again?

[Announcer]

She's 36.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is she really? Well, yeah. So how many years ago was it that we did that event with her? That's before she was huge famous. We were in Napa decade, probably longer in the way that time goes by so fast. But she was a young, very attractive black woman whose shtick at the time was, you know, we love this sort of thing was going around saying people who are black who say society's holding them back, that's ridiculous. Here's why you can be successful. That was her thing at the time.

[Joe Getty]

And this is a great country, the greatest country in the world to succeed no matter who you are.

[Jack Armstrong]

And there's not systemic racism everywhere keeping you from being a success. You were keeping yourself from being successful. And we love that message. And we did some event where we're the, we're the MCs and she was the main speaker or something. Like I'd never heard of her in my life until we got paired with her that night. She was weird. A little. I remember being weird. I mean she just, she just, she, she was just aloof, like incredibly aloof. Yeah, I kind of thought maybe it was like super hot chick disease. Just like I can't be, I don't need to be talking to any dudes. All dudes are hitting on me all the time. Or something. I didn't know why, but she was just really, really weirdly aloof.

[Joe Getty]

She and her assistant were like super insulated. They wanted no contact with outsiders.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, there's just four of us in a room for a very long time. And it was weird to not have any more interaction than we had. But, you know, she turns out to be a complete nut job.

[Joe Getty]

I would agree.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I don't know if it's a grift, like almost entirely a grift, or if she believes all that or came to believe all that or what. I really don't know with all these people. Same with what's his name, the guy who's never had sex with.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah. Is that a fantastic or does he.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really believe this stuff?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't know. I really don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Doesn't make much difference at the end.

[Joe Getty]

Don't bother sending us the email that says, guys, you need to listen to them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Listen to more of them. I listen to lots of them. Right.

[Joe Getty]

And I get the fact that maybe 60 to 80% of it is perfectly reasonable, but have a higher standard. Hitler made some great highways.

[Jack Armstrong]

That doesn't mean that last bit of.

[Joe Getty]

His act was acceptable. That's not the way morality works. Anyway, I. We've run out of time to do the Glenn Beck thing, which I really want to do.

[Jack Armstrong]

We'll do that right after the break.

[Joe Getty]

I was talking, he interviewed and this is a get Hansen, if you weren't so lazy, our executive producer, you would get us interviews like this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Merry Christmas.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it's time for some plain talk.

[Jack Armstrong]

You panties at Christmas, that's when you do the plane talk.

[Joe Getty]

It's time for your annual review. Sit down. Glenn Beck booked George Washington.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is this the festivus airing of the grievances?

[Joe Getty]

The father of our country. Now that's a. Get a pretty good guest. Yeah, we'll feature some of that interview coming up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, that's on the way.

[Joe Getty]

[Jack Armstrong]

My underwear keep creeping up on me. The legs of my underwear. I need to. I need garters that like between my socks and my underwear that like hold them all in place. Keep my socks up. Keep my underwear down.

[Joe Getty]

Katie, there's a gift idea for you.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm on it.

[Joe Getty]

You haven't gotten anything for old Jack. Let's see. Let me search on sock garters to keep underpants from creeping.

[Jack Armstrong]

Get the petite size. I have very skinny legs.

[Joe Getty]

Okay. Good Lord. All right. So our old friend Glenn Beck, who's had quite a career, we used to know Glenn a little bit. We were show business friends but very friendly and enjoyed his company very much. He and his wife. Wife. He does some really interesting stuff sometimes, partly because he's got a big fat budget. And he evidently and his people created an AI George Washington that he then interviewed. Now the funny part, and I should have gotten a picture for you guys. But the funny part is the George Washington he created, it looks like looks like a leading man in the Michael Douglas Fatal Attraction part of his career. Silver fox, silver mane of hair. And George is very buff in Glenn Beck's imagining. Very athletic, solidly Built. And he's wearing a slate gray T shirt at the interview like he's a Hollywood producer or something, which George Washington would never ever do. He's a very, very formal man. Anyway, we'll play a little bit in comment. Here it is. Glenn Beck interviewing the father of our country. George, we have programmed a lot of information and given you a lot of information on what's going on in today's America. Based on your writings and the writings.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of the rest of the founders.

[Joe Getty]

What is it that you feel is the biggest problem or where we should start to fix things?

[Jack Armstrong]

If I may speak plainly, my countrymen.

[Joe Getty]

The danger, the greatest danger to our.

[Jack Armstrong]

Republic lies not in foreign arms or political faction.

[Joe Getty]

But interrupt you for a second, could.

[Jack Armstrong]

You just dumb it down just a little? Okay, I do have 29 points and they're all referenced to exactly what we.

[Joe Getty]

Said in the for this, just speak in today's language. Okay, okay, I get it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let me speak to Americans. If I'm honest. America's biggest problem isn't political or economic.

[Joe Getty]

It it's all moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place. Freedom to be free.

[Jack Armstrong]

You have to have discipline.

[Joe Getty]

You have to have faith, you have to have character. And if you don't have any of.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those things, laws, laws can't stop anything and they mean little government turns either weak or oppressive.

[Joe Getty]

You have grown skeptical of truth. You're reckless with debt.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're comfortable blaming instead of building anything. And in my time we've understood that self governance begins with self control. Do you even recognize what self control is? Public virtue matters more than public opinion.

[Joe Getty]

You keep selecting these people, expecting things to change, but you haven't changed.

[Jack Armstrong]

The fix is not going to be found in Washington D.C. it's going to.

[Joe Getty]

Be found in every home, every school, every heart.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good luck with that.

[Joe Getty]

You know, where are the citizens who value duty over comfort, principle over popularity?

[Jack Armstrong]

America was built to be a moral and self governing nation. It's only that foundation that will still save her.

[Joe Getty]

So putting aside the T shirt and the buff arms, well done Glenn. It's funny, I didn't find that dumbed down particularly. That was exactly right. That is what George Washington would say.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I think that's clearly right. Part of the problem, part of the problem. Only part of the problem. But part of the problem is a lot of the morals virtues, whether you like it or not, came out of being a religious people. And I know my anti religious friends hate that, hate that, hate that. But it's just a fact. A lot of the like living within your means and you know, doing the right thing and putting your family, city, state, country ahead of your wants and all that sort of stuff came out of religious beliefs.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you know, it's funny they our atheist friends would say you don't need religion to arrive at that sort of code.

[Jack Armstrong]

And what I always say is show me the time that that has happened.

[Joe Getty]

Has that happened anywhere on an individual basis? Somebody of high morals and intelligence absolutely can achieve that. But societally speaking, religions arose for a reason, multiple reasons. I don't want that to be. We just didn't say you, you have a relationship with God and none of us will worry about no moral codes. There are reasons for them.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't want it to make it that like the panacea only thing you need to fix the problem. Although it might be pretty close.

[Joe Getty]

So I don't know.
