Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Becky. And now here's Armstrong and get ready. Live from Studio C Senior, we're in a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And today, November 11th, we're under the tutelage of our General Manager, GLP1. Sounds like the name of the lovable.
Joe Getty
Robot in the new Star wars sequel, GLP1. Come on, GLP.
Jack Armstrong
Toledo. Toledo. Weep.
Joe Getty
But no scientific name for those weight loss drugs that are about to go mass market.
Jack Armstrong
I hate to criticize, but we're not gonna go with veterans on Veterans Day.
Joe Getty
Oh, well, that's another great choice.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Anyway, I was ready with a riff on that. I just assumed that's what we were gonna say. So what's GOP one? I just told you that.
Joe Getty
But it's the weight loss drugs.
Jack Armstrong
But all of them are come under that same category.
Joe Getty
It's the scientific description of what they do. Yeah, and there ends my chemistry knowledge. So please, no more questions. But yeah, that's the class of drugs.
Jack Armstrong
Please, no more questions. That's all I know.
Joe Getty
We have no more time for any questions. Plus, I know nothing else. Yeah, they're about to become a fraction of their current price. And there are a couple of wrinkles in the lab about to hit the mainstream. I think we're, uh. You could take a pill once a week instead of getting the jab. They've cut down on the side effects. And I'm telling you, you predicted this yesterday or the other day that, you know, future photographs of like the year 2026 are probably going to show a bunch of skinny people.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I. Well, I've thought since these things came on the market that given our obesity problem, soon when the prices got down, practically everybody you know is going to be on these.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I tell you what, I'm seriously thinking of investigating it.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and it's, it's easy to justify. Something changed, you know, something. Lots of things changed in our Food and society and everything else. And here you go, microplastics.
Joe Getty
Who knows? Contrails.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know if chemtrails have anything to do with it.
Joe Getty
But yeah, yeah, for me it's, it's mostly my joints because my blood pressure is under control and everything. The help of horse pills. But if I could like reduce my blood pressure medication, go a little easier on my joints, that would be great. By dropping a few, never mind vanity.
Jack Armstrong
Just dropping a few lbs. I'm all about the vanity. I'm a single man, so I'm 100% vanity.
Joe Getty
Go get them, tiger.
Jack Armstrong
So have you seen the newer version of All Quiet is on. On the Western Front? The one with subtitles?
Joe Getty
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Getty
The German version, which is about, you.
Jack Armstrong
Know, the end of World War I, which is where we came up with November 11th being Veterans Day, because that was the day they ended the war. That is some powerful movie. Holy cow. Yeah, it is.
Joe Getty
It's unbelievable. Powerful is a great word. And you cannot, if you are unaffected by that movie, check yourself into some sort of mental health clinic because you, you, you are no longer human.
Jack Armstrong
No kidding. But on Veterans Day, we honor all veterans. Though I am always super interested, or I have been for like, well, since, since 2014. On the 100 year anniversary of our 2018, rather the hundred year anniversary of the end of World War I, I got on a big cake about reading about World War I and it's, it's in many ways more interesting than World War II and probably the more along the lines of what we're going to slide into if we ever have one of those kind of things again with just like lots of alliances and a whole bunch of powerful countries thinking this is my time to get a little better edge over somebody and not realizing what they're stumbling into.
Joe Getty
Well, and Ukraine would teach us probably static lines as well and trench warfare.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
Which is crazy.
Jack Armstrong
But anyway, my son as a Boy Scout, he'll be going out to the local cemetery today to plant little American flags on all the graves of all the veterans there at the cemetery. So I like that. That's nice.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
My brother is a veteran of a.
Joe Getty
Couple of different wars.
Jack Armstrong
Shout out to him and we'll be talking about that throughout the day. I'm kind of interested. So I know the public school locally has it off, but I don't know if they tell the kids why. And then I was talking to somebody in a very red area of the country where they have, they actually don't take the day off. But make the day all about Veterans Day and what it means and have all kinds of activities around that, which is an interesting way to go about it as opposed to having it off. And, and the kids just, you know, it's like Memorial Day or any other day. It's just a day off.
Joe Getty
All right. In California, it's actually officially indigenous transgender Day. Little different approach. I didn't realize that two spirits, as the good folks call it.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's funny. That's a good joke.
Joe Getty
Thank you.
Jack Armstrong
I'm here all week.
Joe Getty
Try the veal. I'm actually, I'm. I'm. I'm reasonably alert right now. We had an odd night here at the. At the Getty Mansion. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, like 2, 2:15 in the morning. Judy woke me up. She.
Jack Armstrong
You have a fire alarm like a middle school?
Joe Getty
No, no, you fool. You know, like this smoke detector, I suppose is the more accepted term. So that goes off and, and, and it actually turned off just as I'm, like, becoming conscious. And we searched all over the house, and in one part of the house, it smelled like something had been burning.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
And so we're just. We spent a long time trying to track down what it might have been. Blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, it occurred to me that the heat had really kicked on for the first time. And, and, you know, that. That weird smell we all know when the furnace kicks on for the first.
Jack Armstrong
Time, roasting the squirrels and the rats up there.
Joe Getty
The dead squirrels. Yeah, exactly. And although this was a very different smell and it had set off a smoke alarm, which had not happened before. But what did I do with my fuzzy middle of the night head, my brain barely functioning. I chat GPT everything that had happened and the smell. And it told me, yeah, it's probably the. In the. We have a heat pump for heat, and there's a special, like, auxiliary coil when it needs to heat quickly. And if it's the first time it's used, it's burning off dust, and you should be perfectly fine. I was one tick away from calling the fire department just to make sure there wasn't something smoldering somewhere, but ended up not doing that. So. Thank you, Sam Altman, OpenAI. I could have grocked it.
Jack Armstrong
I could have clotted it or whatever. The new thing is going to be from Zuckerberg's guy. So Zuckerberg's top guy for AI has decided to leave and start his own thing. And Zuckerberg has poured billions, many, many, many billions of dollars into trying to be the top dog in the whole AI world. And his, his, his lead guys off to start his own thing. And then there was a big article.
Joe Getty
Yesterday, I believe he wasn't just wrapped up tight in some sort of contract, but back to you, there was a.
Jack Armstrong
Big article, I think in the New York Times. Wall Street. No, Wall Street Journal. I'm going to read from that later about how China is making it their whole of country effort to end up being the leader in AI.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yep, saw the same thing. They are desperate. And my favorite quote from that article, J.D. vance. Maybe I can come up with that real quick. This is, this is going to be what was. While I'm looking, Jack, Neville Chamberlain's infamous quote. I bring you an agreement that I believe will deliver peace in our time. No, let's see, where the heck is it? But J.D. vance said something like, I wish I could find it.
Jack Armstrong
So China looked at the AI landscape, knowing it was going to be a really big deal, and realized.
Joe Getty
Let me finish the thought. J.D. vance said something to the effect of.
Jack Armstrong
I thought you, I thought you were looking for it. And I was trying to cover why.
Joe Getty
Okay, well, cover then. Go ahead.
Jack Armstrong
That's what I'm doing. So, so China saw that chat GPT and, and Zuckerberg's thing and Elon's thing with Grok and everything were all in, you know, the Bay Area, all in one spot in California, in the United States, and certainly not in China. And they thought we need to get on our horse here and catch up with the thing. And they've gone from trying to catch up with AI to wanting to dominate AI and like really, really put a country, you know, almost as big an economy as ours into trying to catch up.
Joe Getty
Well, and they seem to have a solid lead in dancing robots too, judging from the video I was watching. Yeah, I mean, their robots could whoop up on our robots in a fair dance contest. All right, here's, here's JD Vance's Neville Chamberlain quote. The AI future is not going to be won by hand wringing about safety.
Jack Armstrong
Oh my God.
Joe Getty
As the robot armies charge across the landscape, taking men, women and children and chopping them up or sucking them dry or setting them on fire or whatever they choose. Yeah, that quote will be ringing in my ears. The AI future is not going to be won by hand wringing about safety.
Jack Armstrong
So in your world, AI robots are running across the country setting us on fire. I'll be damned. It's hard to imagine why they would do that.
Joe Getty
Well, there's no. What are you gonna ask them robots? Because I like it.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, we've gotta start the show officially. There's some really good news out there today. Well, interesting news. I don't know if it's good news like this AI thing. None of it's good news in my opinion. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, November 11, known as Veterans Day, the year 2025, where Armstrong and getting. We approve of this program.
Joe Getty
All right, then, dad Gummet, let's begin. Officially, according to FCC rules regs. Here we go at mark.
Jack Armstrong
That's not too many miles from where we're broadcasting UC Berkeley, where the Turning Point event was last night. And of course, a whole bunch of jackasses showed up screaming things about fascists and throwing punches. And I was just watching the video up on the tv. Luckily, there was a heavy police presence to deal with these people, but good are you. What is your deal? Good Lord.
Joe Getty
There's a great book review I can't wait to get to later on. The most evil Person in America nominee, Randy Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers. She's got a new book out entitled why Fascists Fear Teachers, Public Education and the Future of Democracy. Seriously, Randy, I realize you're Satan's evil spawn and have no desire to listen to anybody's opinion, but throwing around the term fascist is now so squarely in the world of self parody. To me, these people, you're a fascist. Okay? You have no arguments. So you call me a fascist. It's just ridiculous. Laughable. It's like racist was five years ago. Please.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. So we got to catch up on a whole bunch of different stories. The Olympic Committee made a giant announcement. The Winter Olympics are only 12 weeks away. And the whole trans thing is over with the Olympics. Oh, they are done with that mess. And that might give the COVID for. I'm hoping it gives the COVID for lots of high schools to say, well, we're just going to follow the Olympic guidelines.
Joe Getty
Let me see if I understand this. The IOC has decided that men get. Don't get to whoop up on women in women's sports just because they declared themselves to be women. That's an interesting decision.
Jack Armstrong
Correct. They say the genetic benefits of being a man continue even past your transitioning. So it is not fair.
Joe Getty
We had a time machine from like 15 years ago are listening to this and saying, what are you guys talking about?
Jack Armstrong
Right? No kidding.
Joe Getty
Anybody knows that.
Jack Armstrong
So we got Katie's headlines on the way and more news of the day. I hope you can stay here.

Joe appears to be reading.
Joe Getty
Okay, I am. Yeah. Since you've dropped the the whole you bring us like a dad joke, I got contacted over that. I was gonna bring it up. Somebody wrote me. They're very upset with you. I just, I just came across this, but I was vetting it very quickly. Ladies walking down the street to work, she sees a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. Parrot says to her, hey, lady, you're really ugly. Well, the lady is furious. She stormed past the store, gets to work. The way home, she sees the same parrot. It says to her, hey, lady, you're really ugly. Man, is she tick now. Next day, walks by, parrot says it to her again, hey, lady, you're really ugly. Lady was so dick, she went in the store, said she'd sue the store and kill the bird. Store manager replied, that's not good. I'll make sure he won't ever say it again. Next morning, lady walks past the store. Parrot calls to her, hey, lady. She pauses and says, yes. The bird says, you know, evil, evil parrot. Let's figure out who reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie.

Joe Getty
Return after Senate passes government funding bill with vote possible this morning.
Jack Armstrong
So I got it. I forgot to mention this. So I'm watching MSNB NBC last night. I watched their 11 o' clock show every night. See what's on the mind of the left. What was the prevailing theme around the shutdown, why it happened and Congress coming back into session. One word. Epstein. Oh, this whole, this whole shutdown. This whole shutdown ploy was to keep Congress out of session so they couldn't deal with the Epstein files. And now they're going to have to figure out a way.
Joe Getty
Wow. You could have given me 10 guesses.
Jack Armstrong
I know. And this is their main evening show to like wrap up the day on msnbc. I thought really? This is about Epstein.
Homes.com Announcer

Trump hints at agreements with Syria after meeting jihadi president.
Joe Getty
Quote, I think this leader can do it. He's slick. No doubt. He's clever. That fella saw him on Special Report last night. Maybe talk more about that later on New York Times. Trump threatens to sue the BBC for $1 billion after January 6th documentary.
Jack Armstrong
We talked about this story a lot yesterday. We actually have the audio for you today. The egregious editing they did in their documentary to try to make Trump look more crazy than he is by a lot. And that's why the head of BBC had to resign over the weekend. It's an amazing story.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And just a brutal edit job from NBC. Demonic horns and devilish name New Lucifer.
Lowe's Black Friday Ad Voice
Bee discovered in Australia.

Joe Getty
From study finds. Is your date financially catfishing you. Half of young adults admit to faking their wealth. Faking their wealth. Okay.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know.
Joe Getty
They're gonna figure it out sooner or later. Right. And finally this one from the Babylon Bee.
Lowe's Black Friday Ad Voice
Congress prepares to pivot from doing nothing.
Joe Getty
Because of the shutdown to doing nothing because they're Congress.
Jack Armstrong
Hey now. Except for finally having to get that Epstein legislation through. I need to talk more about that later. I had no idea that that was the theory. Oh. The shutdowns are so ruse to keep Congress out of session to hide the Epstein's.
Joe Getty
What it was all about to come out the list and the complicity and.
Jack Armstrong
Trump and BBC is one of the most important news organizations in the world being run by people who are corrupt. It would seem we've got the audio to back that up, so stay tuned. I hope you can check this out.

Got a couple of great AI stories we need to get to. The fact that China's doubling down and wanting to become the world leader. The fact that the top guy at Meta, Zuckerberg's guy's leaving to form his own company. And then this story in the New York Post today about Google, how internally, at the very, very top of their AI efforts, they got a real woke problem where they become more focused on is this AI going to be used by Israel and their military to help kill Palestinians that I don't want to help, blah, blah, that sort of thing.
Joe Getty
How interesting.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, how mad would that make you if you poured a hundred billion dollars? How about you shut up about your politics and code?
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, I have some sympathy, some, at least for the crowd that says, look, the days of like reasonably neutral media, professionalism and journalism and all that's over. We've got to fight fire with fire. Okay? Kind of the. The angry younger woke, right? Call it whatever you want, you know, they're not 100% wrong. And to that end, here is one of the most respected broadcasters on earth for many decades, the BBC, caught in an egregious act of bias. Wait and listen to the contrast between the edited version of what Trump said on January 6 and the edited. The edited version and the actual version. The contrast is astonishing.
Jack Armstrong
Turmoil at Britain's premier broadcaster with President Trump right in the middle. The Director General of the BBC, Tim Davy, and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turnis, resigning, all because of edits in a documentary of the speech President Trump made on January 6, 2021, implying a much more direct call for violence which followed at the Capitol. Here's the BBC version. We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. Here's how Trump started, at least in the original. We're going to Walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to ch. Cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Okay. That is unbelievable. And so we talked about this quite a bit yesterday. BBC is a really big deal worldwide. It's like the world's npr. And it turns out they're about as fair as NPR is.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack Armstrong
And the top guy and the number two person both stepped down because of this article that came out in the Telegraph just a week ago.
Joe Getty
Somehow.
Jack Armstrong
Well, the Telegraph got a whistleblower who came forward. But how many people would have had From a documentary a year ago. BBC drops a documentary a week before our presidential election. That's out of bounds, too. I mean, what are you trying to do here?
Joe Getty
But anyway, it's activism.
Jack Armstrong
It's activism to try to affect the presidential election on the most powerful country on earth. That's what the BBC is up to. And then they edit the audio to make it sound much worse than it is, which is obviously against all journalist rules. But how many people would have had to been involved and know about that and kept that a secret all this time? Quite a few.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Double digits, maybe. Maybe more than that, I think. I don't want to steal Greg's thunder. Play the next clip, Michael, and I'll fill in the blanks as needed.
Jack Armstrong
The edits flagged by an internal BBC watchdog, first reported about the UK Telegraph newspaper. President Trump posting thank you to the Telegraph for exposing these corrupt journalists. These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a presidential election. The BBC apologized to Parliament. We should have acted earlier and taken a more formal position on it.
Joe Getty
Yeah, okay. Now that you're caught. So what I was gonna say is, after the grotesque edit of what Trump said. And by the way, I don't consider Trump blameless on January 6th at all. No, he could have stepped in much earlier. Much stronger. Def offended Mike Pence. I thought it was despicable, honestly. For the record, this is not about Trump. This is about the BBC. But so after that, that egregious edit with the scary music in the background, the documentary immediately cuts to the Proud Boys fighting cops. Okay. Footage of the Proud Boys or on the march or something like that. That had happened hours earlier before the speech. How? The Proud Boys video.
Jack Armstrong
It's basically over now because Trump's been elected two times. But how did the left never catch on that you were highly responsible for getting Trump elected? Because every time you do this sort of thing, you try to sue him with a bogus case or you make up a news story that is obviously fake, you get him elected. It made people like me think, you know what? Screw you. I got all kinds of problems with Trump, but screw you. That's what you did. You got him elected, you morons. How do you not get that?
Joe Getty
So obvious.
Jack Armstrong
You hate him so much, you got him elected by overreaching, you idiots.
Joe Getty
Right, right. Good for you. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's funny, I just came across a story that Sydney Sweeney, the. The hottie and the. The jeans. Remember the Nazi fascist Eugenics jeans commercial?
Jack Armstrong
I have a pair myself that people.
Joe Getty
Pretended to be angry about for about three and a half minutes. Her Euphoria co star refused to stand next to her at some photo op.
Jack Armstrong
You got to be kidding.
Joe Getty
Because of her. Her awful, awful politics. The alleged feud between Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya emerged after several outlets reported Sweeney is a registered Republican.
Jack Armstrong
God, that's unbelievable. Back to the BBC briefly though, on that sort of thing. Like, like we said, how many people would have to be involved in that edit and cover up and keep their mouths shut about it and think it was okay to completely mislead their viewers on what Trump said? How many people would have to be involved in that? And then how deep does the rot go? It kind of reminds me of when Elon said about. I think it was chat, chat GPT that, look, you're going to have to clean house and start over. Clearly you've got rot so deep. I think the BBC is probably in that situation because there had to be. How many people worked there and then watched it and thought, okay, that's an edit. It could be hundreds or thousands of people involved that at least they weren't involved in it, but knew it happened.
Joe Getty
But so the back to the whole idiotic Sydney Sweeney Zendaya thing. Somebody who would say something as ridiculous as. It's difficult for Zendaya because even if she stands next to Sydney, it can be seen as excusing her views on Trump and her refusal to apologize for the racist dad you got.
Jack Armstrong
You people are crazy.
Joe Getty
Well, yeah, exactly my point. People were thinking that garbled, they couldn't recognize that all the lawfare and the edits and the calling everybody a fascist and a Nazi all the time was. Was gonna ruin their chances. They're that far gone, they're that far departed from any sort of logic anyway, craziness.
Jack Armstrong
Does that happen the other way around? And I just don't know about it because I don't feel like I hear.
Joe Getty
Those stories on the outer fringes maybe. But see, and I'm proud of conservatism for this, although I know some of you disagree and that's fine. We can still be friends. The left does not police their crazies, the right does. Generally speaking, we've got a hell of an in house argument going on right now because we call out our crazies.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, you mean the Tucker Fuentes, Megyn Kelly National Review thing?
Joe Getty
Sure.
Jack Armstrong
For instance.
Joe Getty
Yeah, that sort of thing.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know where that's going to land actually.
Joe Getty
Got in a really interesting email from a fine young fellow who sees it differently than we do. Maybe I'll feature that in Mailbag.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, well, as I mentioned a week ago, while there are lots of things that Nick Fuentes says that I think are absolutely insane and I think he's trolling mostly, I think he's kind of like an angry, wants attention sort of troll and to on a certain level. But his, but his whole. The one group that can't ever be proud of themselves is white men. Is true.
Joe Getty
You can't ever say, you know, it'd.
Jack Armstrong
Be better off we had more white men around here. Every other group can say it'd be better off we had more women around here. White women, trans people, black people, Hispanic.
Joe Getty
People, Asian people, whatever you get to.
Jack Armstrong
You get to cheer for your side and wish there were more of you. But white men can't is. What is that?
Joe Getty
That's weird.
Jack Armstrong
I don't think you know, it's weird.
Joe Getty
This may be the only original thought I've ever had and I've said it more than once. I think what I generally say is every scam is 80% true. That's why it's a good scam. That's how it gets people. Well, every sick political ideology is One third to 80%, you know. Right. It's just that last small to medium to large chunk that's. That's off. And so yeah, there's a lot being said about, well, what you just said about. You can't say there's a culture in America and it's a great culture and a valuable one, a successful one. The rest of the world is. Or a lot of the rest of the world has modeled itself. And yeah, it was built by a lot of white people and a lot of other people too. But yeah, the idea that there is no American culture, like who was the moron who said that the other day? Some left wing podcaster is idiotic. And you ought to, as a white American, say no, I'm kind of proud of the country that we've built, all of us together. But they act like that's somehow shameful. That's true. That's a good point. But then he extends it to I hate enters and Jews and the rest of it.
Jack Armstrong
It's sick. Want to talk about Veterans Day? More later? Well, I just saw the video of the volcano erupting in Hawaii. That happens every now and then. God, like to see that in person. That has to be spectacular. Of course you hope that hot lava doesn't rain down on your head. Yeah, that would suck.
Joe Getty
Take the fun out of it.
Jack Armstrong
It really would. But we got lots to talk about today. Hope you can stick around Armstrong and.

Italian pasta is going to disappear from store shelves unless something changes with the tariffs. I don't know if I eat much pasta that comes from Italy. I'd have to look at the sourcing on it when you buy it.
Joe Getty
I've been accused of dumping pasta. Dumping.
Jack Armstrong
Oh really?
Joe Getty
Artificially depressing prices.
Jack Armstrong
I hold in my hand an Armstrong and get a paddle ball racket.
Joe Getty
Pickleball.
Jack Armstrong
Pickleball paddle.
Joe Getty
That's it.
Jack Armstrong
I want to talk about that next hour also.
Joe Getty
Okay, great pickle talk.
Jack Armstrong
It's a controversy.
Joe Getty
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing on our series from John Stuart Mill's Brilliant on Liberty. If you haven't read it, you should as it is useful that while mankind is imperfect there should be different opinions. So is it that there should be different experiments of living? That's kind of a flowery way of saying what I always say. We need poets and Navy Seals. Mailbag, drop us a note mailbagarmstrongetti.com we'll move quickly through two very important emails. Jack, you and everybody else should not say Jaguar when you mean Jaguar. And I need to show more respect to the band Kiss. All right, takes care of that.
Jack Armstrong
I hope a jaguar leaks on your throat.
Joe Getty
If so, you will not be able to rock and roll all night.
Jack Armstrong
Then we got this.
Joe Getty
I decided let's go ahead and feature this. It's a Christian from Arkansas who is an everyday listener and says some absolutely lovely, lovely things about the show. Appreciate that tells us about his life. He's 32 years old, a great family, diverse group of friends from various faiths and races and that sort of stuff. Everybody thinks of themselves as mutts, which is, you know, the way I've always thought of myself. I like Jack standing profile, consider myself moderate, lean, right. I can only say this for context, that I'm not some hateful, bigoted person living in a bubble. Obviously I don't agree with agree with everything you say, but lately it's been difficult listening to you repeat downright lies about Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, who I want to hear this.
Joe Getty
One of the traits I admire most about you guys is that you never regurgitate mainstream talking points about people based on Internet clips and rumors circulating on the Internet. I do commend Jack for at least listening to the Tucker Nick interview. But after today's episode, we both wrongly referred to him as an actual Nazi. I felt obligated to share where I and the majority of my age, friends and family on both sides of the aisle stand on this issue.
Jack Armstrong
A quick interruption. He calls himself a Nazi. I've seen several clips so that I don't know what to do with that.
Joe Getty
And Christian, he says he admires Hitler. He's a Holocaust denier. And yes, saying there's no way it was that many. It was a fraction of that many is a form of Holocaust denial and he thinks the Jews are behind most of the evil on earth. If he's not a Nazi, he's a big fan of Nazis. Okay. Then he says, charlie Kirk was a hero of mine. One of the main takeaways from his brutal assassination was never judge someone based on things you've heard others say about them or short clips taken out of context.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, maybe the clips I'm hearing where he calls himself a Nazi are out of context. I suppose that's possible.
Joe Getty
Then the I'm going to skip to the the business part of this. As the censorship veil was lifted on Nick, I forced myself to go back and listen to his shows and interviews in their entirety. What I discovered he's incredibly intelligent, talented, and actually pretty funny. If you can get past the outlandish racial and misogynistic jokes, it's a heck of an.
Jack Armstrong
If you can get past that is one of the all time if you can get past. If you can get past the whole Nazi hates women thing, it's pretty funny. He is definitely very smart.
Joe Getty
Not once has Nick called for violence against anyone despite everyone's best efforts to claim that he has. You know Christian, I would also throw in this is obviously clearly a case of, you know, that the undeniable all that is required for of good people for evil triumph is their silence. Or in Nick's case, his fandom for Nazis. Yes, he claims to admire Stalin and Hitler, which I do not condone, whether it's a joke or just him being provocative. But his sincere beliefs are understandable. Nick Fuentes, like so many of us in the younger generation, grew up knowing nothing but government corruption, false promises. Trump is not keeping. He's not keeping his promises. Christian makes the point. I would agree in several cases that's true. Lastly, it's not the Jews that so many people are concerned about. That talking point is childish and makes us look ridiculous. Okay, I want to get back to that point. Moderate level headed people are concerned about Zionism and that would be, you know, advocating for the Jewish country. Ba ba ba. Then he mentions the reason us younger folk despise people like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz and Lisa Murkowski is when they continue to brag about how many trips they've taken to Israel while they seem utterly uninterested in fixing problems in their own states. That is a caricature, I would say. I've never been a hateful person. I've always been curious. When someone like me can't even bring up the suspect the subject without being called anti Semitic, it makes me wonder if there why this is such a forbidden topic. Love you guys, will continue to listen. Thank you for your note. Very thought provoking.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, there is a chunk of I've noticed especially since the October 7 thing that any criticism of Israel is seen as anti Jew and which I've never bought into.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. So boy there could be a book length answer to this email. Christian, one thing I would say is that and I've seen this play out over and over and I'm not playing the old guy card on you, but I just know it to be true. If you allow people who are just clearly Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathetic at the very least into your movement, it it poisons your movement. It discredits your good ideas. It's a bad idea to have those people in the tent. I don't deny for a second second that Nick is is let's see what incredibly intelligent, talented and actually pretty funny. I'm sure that's true. It's also irrelevant.
Jack Armstrong
God, I've got another important point to make but we are out of time. Maybe we'll have to talk about it more later.
Joe Getty
Damn it. He is right after the commercial break.
Jack Armstrong
He is serving a crowd that is not getting served by anybody else.
Joe Getty
Yep.
Jack Armstrong
And when that happens, they're gonna go to whoever's, you know, speaking about their issue.
Joe Getty
Yep, I've made that point about Germany, Armstrong and Getty.

Episode: Please No Questions. That's All I Know.
Date: November 11, 2025
Host: iHeartPodcasts
This episode of Armstrong & Getty, airing on Veterans Day 2025, covers a wide range of timely topics with the duo's signature wit and irreverence. The hosts riff on modern weight loss drugs, the meaning behind Veterans Day, history lessons from World War I, and major news stories ranging from AI competition between the US and China to controversies involving the BBC and American political discourse. Listeners are treated to spirited debates, personal stories, social commentary, and the occasional dad joke, all while maintaining a conversational, humorous, and skeptical tone.
Timestamps:
[04:15] Discussion of the meaning and choice of the day’s “General Manager”
[06:24] Reflection on "All Quiet on the Western Front" and the origins of Veterans Day
Jack expects the “General Manager” of the day to be “veterans” in honor of Veterans Day, but Joe goes with “GLP1” (the new weight loss drug).
The hosts discuss how World War I’s armistice (Nov 11, 1918) led to Veterans Day and its significance compared to World War II.
Jack mentions his son’s scouting tradition of planting flags on veterans' graves.
Quote:
“On Veterans Day, we honor all veterans... On the hundred year anniversary of the end of World War I, I got on a big kick about reading about World War I and it’s in many ways more interesting than World War II.” – Jack Armstrong [06:48]
Timestamps:
[04:07] – [06:15] Conversation about GLP1 drugs and their potential to transform America
The hosts banter about the spread and deep societal impact of GLP1-type medications, noting plummeting costs and improved side effect profiles.
Joe frames these drugs as more than a vanity project, linking them to real health benefits such as blood pressure control and joint relief.
Jack jokes that he’s “all about the vanity” as a single man.
Quote:
“That’s the class of drugs. Please, no more questions. That’s all I know.” – Jack Armstrong [04:47]
“Future photographs of the year 2026 are probably going to show a bunch of skinny people.” – Joe Getty [05:12]
Timestamps:
[07:32] – [08:20]
Discussion of how schools observe Veterans Day differently across the country; some schools have the day off without context, while others use it as a teaching opportunity.
Including a tongue-in-cheek joke about “Indigenous Transgender Day” in California.
Quote:
“So I know the public school locally has it off, but I don’t know if they tell the kids why...” – Jack Armstrong [07:46]

[10:20] Zuckerberg’s top AI guy leaving Meta
[10:48] China’s concentrated national effort to dominate AI
[12:35] Memorable J.D. Vance quote on the AI arms race
[26:48] Google AI team’s internal “woke” strife
Zuckerberg’s chief AI scientist is leaving to found his own company, raising questions about Meta’s strategy.
China’s determined, top-down push to match and outpace US AI development, particularly after American advances in the Bay Area.
J.D. Vance is quoted as downplaying concerns about AI safety, provoking the hosts’ satirical outrage about “robot armies.”
Later, they note ideological divides within Google’s AI ranks, with political concerns affecting tech development.
Quote:
“The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety.” – J.D. Vance, cited by Joe Getty [12:35]
“Their robots could whoop up on our robots in a fair dance contest.” – Joe Getty [12:13]

Quotes:
“It’s activism... to try to affect the presidential election on the most powerful country on earth. That’s what the BBC is up to.” – Jack Armstrong [29:49]
“But every time you do this sort of thing... you get him elected. It made people like me think, you know what? Screw you. I got all kinds of problems with Trump, but screw you.” – Jack Armstrong [31:24]

“Any criticism of Israel is seen as anti-Jew... which I’ve never bought into.” – Jack Armstrong [45:50]
“If you allow people who are just clearly Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathetic at the very least into your movement, it poisons your movement. It discredits your good ideas.” – Joe Getty [46:01]

Anyway, craziness.” | | 46:01 | Joe | “If you allow people who are just clearly Holocaust deniers and Nazi sympathetic at the very least into your movement, it poisons your movement.” |
The episode is sarcastic, rapid-fire, digressive, and unafraid of controversy. Jack and Joe blend humor, skepticism, and clear frustration with media, government, and cultural trends. They don’t shy away from criticizing their own “side” or wrestling with difficult listener correspondence.
For listeners who missed the episode:
This was a freewheeling installment covering the meaty subjects of war, history, technology, media credibility, political extremism, and good, old-fashioned social satire—all skewered with Armstrong & Getty’s trademark blend of humor and skepticism.
