Key Discussions & Insights

1. Israel-Hamas Peace Deal & Double Standards

[03:17–10:22]

• Status of Hamas-Israel Negotiations: The crew discusses the global anticipation for Hamas's response to a proposed peace deal, noting ongoing violence and pessimism about lasting compliance.
  • Key Insight: The proposed governance for Gaza would exclude Hamas, with oversight by a board headed by Donald Trump.
• Hamas's Greatest Weapon: The hosts argue that world opinion, especially among progressives and "weak European politicians," is more powerful for Hamas than military might.
  • Quote: “Hamas's greatest weapon is anti-Israeli world opinion.” — Joe Getty [05:01]
• Double Standards Narrative: They highlight what they see as a unique level of scrutiny placed on Israel compared to other nations engaging in war.
  • Guest Quote (paraphrased from Scott Galloway on MSNBC): “Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed, to prosecute a war... They're allowed to fight back to a truce, but unlike America or any other Western nation that has attacked this viciously, they're not allowed to win a war. It’s a double standard.” — Jack Armstrong, quoting [07:25]
• Social Media’s Role: Joe suggests that the current conflict is the first major war in the age of social media, making the usual path to peace almost impossible due to constant scrutiny.

2. The Strange Saga of "Professor" Diddy

[12:54–24:05]

• P. Diddy’s Jailhouse Seminar: Discussion shifts to Sean "Diddy" Combs teaching a six-week course, "Free Game with Diddy," in federal prison.
  • Content: The syllabus offers “exclusive insights” into Combs’ business rise, with homework and encouragements like “successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t do.”
  • Satirical Coursework: The hosts joke about what essay assignments might look like, given Diddy’s charges (“How to handle a mouthy bee in the hallway of a hotel” [18:09]).
  • Celebrity Instructors: They note it’s common for famous inmates (e.g., Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried) to teach, and riff on the moral ambiguities of learning business from infamous figures.
  • Cynicism Over Legal Motives: They speculate Diddy’s teaching is aimed at reducing his sentence.

3. Political Insults & the Origin of "Schlonging"

[28:45–36:40]

• Use of ‘Schlonging’ as Political Slang: Jack brings up a Republican’s tweet describing how “the White House is schlonging Democrats” on livestream viewer counts during dueling party livestreams.
  • Word Origins: “It’s derived from the Yiddish slang word ‘schlong’... implies a humiliating defeat.” — Joe Getty [32:05]
  • Humor and Language: The lighthearted debate over the appropriateness and popularity of the term, and its usage in political discourse.

4. Immigration, Healthcare, and Political Theater

[33:02–36:40]

• Democratic & Republican Messaging: The hosts analyze political posturing around government shutdowns and accusations (and denials) that Democrats’ immigration proposals would fund healthcare for undocumented immigrants.
  • Legislative Complexity: They point out how bills can be interpreted in many ways and the media’s selective explanations.
  • Historical Recall: Jack reminds listeners of the 2020 Democratic primary moment when all candidates signaled support for healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

5. WNBA Labor Dispute: Reality Check

[37:02–41:39]

• CBA Expiry & Potential Strike: Discussion about the WNBA’s possible work stoppage as players demand higher pay, despite low ratings and ongoing subsidies from the NBA.
  • Reality vs. Rhetoric: The hosts argue the WNBA’s financial existence depends on NBA support, and that the league’s struggles are being glossed over.
  • Caitlin Clark Controversy: Commentary on how new stars like Clark could shift league dynamics, and predictions that she might leave if conditions remain the same.
  • Quote: “Affirmative action for a sports league.” — Joe Getty [40:27]

6. Elon Musk: The Half-Trillionaire

[46:07–49:33]

• Tesla Stock Surge: Armstrong notes that Musk returned to being the world’s richest person after a spike in Tesla stock, due to a rush to buy EVs before tax incentives expired.
• How Rich Is Too Rich?: Philosophical musing on what to do with unimaginable wealth; Musk’s approach is praised for focusing on space and climate change, rather than material luxuries.
  • Quote: “He’s not like Jeff Bezos... What he cares about the most is saving the planet... And impregnating hotties.” — Jack Armstrong [48:43]
• Host Aspirations: Classic banter about lottery fantasies, houses at golf meccas, and private jets.

7. Lighthearted Bits and Listener Life

[50:10–51:14] Final Thoughts

• Banter on braces cost (“Why are braces so freaking expensive?” — Jack Armstrong [50:58])
• Parenting wisdom, life tips, and comedic commentary wrap up the episode.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Media and War: “How are you going to end a war in the social media age the way other wars ended?” — Jack Armstrong [09:16]
• On Double Standards: “There’s just a different standard for Jews in Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war.” — Scott Galloway via Jack Armstrong [07:25]
• On Diddy’s New Gig: “He drugs and rapes and traffics underage women for sex, but look at him give back to the community.” — Jack Armstrong [17:15]
• On the WNBA Pay Debate: “The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA to build goodwill and because they had a string of players who abused women or raped women or whatever, and they thought, ‘Oh my god, we gotta do something positive for women.’” — Joe Getty [38:36]
• On Musk’s Values: “He’s not like Jeff Bezos thinking, ‘Well I need to get the world’s biggest yacht’... [Musk] doesn’t seem to care about that stuff. All he cares about the most is saving the planet... and impregnating hotties and having 15 kids from 13 different women.” — Jack Armstrong [48:43]
• On Livestream ‘Schlonging’: “There’s a Republican congressperson that put out that the White House is schlonging the Democrats on the viewer count right now. Please, Claire, what else would you call it?” — Jack Armstrong [32:29]

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

And now here's Armstrong, Strong and Yeti. Well, the whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes or no to this deal here. But in the interim, it remains rather tense environment here because overnight here we saw five rockets being fired from Gaza here at Israel.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice 2]

Just goes to show how fragile this whole situation is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Robert Sherman of News Nation, who's actually in that part of the world, commenting on the big peace deal. He goes on the president making clear that Hamas has a matter of days in order to give their formal indication on all of this. And we have an understanding of exactly.

[Katie Green]

Where Hamas's hesitations are.

[Jack Armstrong]

On the one hand, the total demilitarization, the destruction of their offensive weaponry capabilities, their tunnels. That's one concern that they have. Another major one is the governance of Gaza, which will not be Hamas. Instead, it'll be overseen by this Board of Peace, which we headed up by President Trump. Those are some of the areas in.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice 2]

Which Hamas has expressed disinterest in this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Deal to this point. Okay, so what's, what's your alternative there? Hamas continue to fight and die? Yeah, of course, if you're a death cult, you don't really mind that, right?

[Joe Getty]

Exactly. Or pretend to comply and then be out of compliance as quickly as possible.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which would be the same result. You're gonna die. I wish Trump would put a firm end date on it and say instead of saying in the next few days, that's not the best way to force an answer. How about midnight Saturday or something?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I think that may be coming. He might be a little patient with them because he knows that this is a big transitional moment for them. But at some point he's going to say, look, it's got to be by the end of the day today. You know, here's my Prediction. And I know you agree with this. Hamas's greatest weapon is anti Israeli world opinion. Yeah, I've got a great quote from a Hamas leader about why do you think this gets so much attention? It's because it's Jews. People kind of like what we do. That's a paraphrase of what he said.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Joe Getty]

What was my point? Oh, so the greatest weapon Hamas has is the world opinion, progressive opinion, especially against Israel and. Or weak, spineless politicians in Europe, you know, making declarations so their own Muslim populations don't get mad at them. So I think what they're going to do is say, we agree wholeheartedly, 100%. We're in. We want peace. Peace for the region. And then they will violate the agreement every chance they get and bring the weight of the IDF down upon themselves while claiming to the rest of the world that, hey, we agreed to the peace deal. We're being oppressed here. We agreed. We agreed. And your soft heads of the world will fall for that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Will they agree and then hold off long enough for Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize? Because if it looks like it's in place and it's happening, he is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize, I think. How would you not give it to him?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, you have to.

[Jack Armstrong]

If this thing comes together.

[Joe Getty]

And so Hamas would hold off, so Donnie could.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no, I don't. I don't think they would do it. And not a tactical move. I just wonder if the timing will work out for Donald Trump.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't know. So I don't know who Scott Galloway is. Who is Scott Galloway? Is he somebody I should know? Anyway, he was on MSNBC this morning making an argument. We're offing making 2200American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We go to kill three and a half million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night, 2800Americans and 9 11. We go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren't accused of genocide. You had. If Mexico had elected a jihadist cartel to run their country, and then they incurred into Texas and on a per capita basis killed 35,000 people of the population of the University of Texas and on the way back took the freshman class at SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels, what would we do? It'd be the Great Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews are not allowed, and Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war. And they are prosecuting a war more humanely than we have done. The ratio of Combatants to civilians is of civilian death to combatant mortality is lower than it was in Mosul, lower than it was in Japan, lower than it was in Germany. So there's just a different standard for Jews in Israel when it comes to prosecuting a war. They're allowed to fight back to a truce, but unlike America or any other Western nation that has attacked this viciously, they're not allowed to win a war. It's a double standard. That's pretty interesting and we've been saying it for a long time and it's.

[Joe Getty]

Obviously true what he said. Yeah, yeah. It's a little oversimplification of like the World War II stuff with Japan as we've talked about, but the point remains.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, pretty. Pretty clever PR by Palestinians over the years, going all the way back to Yasser Airfo and everybody to position this all in such a way that Israel is held to. And you have to have a compliant media, obviously, and a compliant UN but to be able to position Israel as being held to just a completely different standard than any other country ever is.

[Joe Getty]

Right, yeah. And you couple that with the fact that there has never been a situation that anybody can identify where one country invaded their neighbor, killed, raped, murdered, took hostages, etc. And then in the resulting war lost that they didn't lose their land, their sovereignty, or both. That's always the result and always will be the result.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you've made the argument that this is the first war in the social media age. How are you going to end a war in the social media age the way other wars ended? Can you imagine the social media that would have been coming out of Japan when we were finishing that off, having just talked about the 80th anniversary of that, or Germany or anywhere else? Because there's a lot of human suffering, a lot of civilian suffering that happens when you have to completely devastate an enemy to get them to surrender completely. Yeah. You have to do a lot to get that to happen.

[Joe Getty]

Just read Sherman's letter to Atlanta.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

He said, yeah, war is miserable. It's horrible. The quickest way to end it is I'm going to defeat the Confederate forces and it's going to be ugly. So sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

And part of a total victory is getting the population to surrender also.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. Unfortunate. Hey, don't, like, invade your neighbor and kill and murder and rape and burn. That's a bad idea. Anyway, more on that to come for the rest of our lives, so stay tuned for that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I don't know. The. The first chapter is gonna, we're gonna see this weekend. I think they're, they're gonna say yes or no, I think.

[Joe Getty]

Well, here's something you don't often hear. Gosh, I wish I was in Brooklyn's federal jail to take Diddy's class on the power of positive thinking.

[Jack Armstrong]

P. Diddy. And the P stands for professor.

[Joe Getty]

That's right. He's teaching a class to the inmates. Very popular.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, we've got that coming up. Among other things. Stay tuned.

There'S two things on this earth you should do. You should eat with the Italians and.

[Joe Getty]

You should drink with the Irish.

[Jack Armstrong]

Never play poker with a guy named Boss whatever the sayings are. That's Conor McGregor, the absolutely crazy UFC fighter. Drink, drink with the Irish and what?

[Joe Getty]

Eat with it. Play it again Michael. For God's sake man, clean out your ears.

[Jack Armstrong]

I always say there's two things on this earth you should do. You should eat with the Italians and.

[Joe Getty]

You should drink with the Irish and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then sucker punch an old guy at the bar from behind because you're a jerk.

[Joe Getty]

I don't.

[Jack Armstrong]

I hate Conor McGregor too much to enjoy that.

[Joe Getty]

Conor McGregor, who should probably be behind bars and probably will be at some point.

[Jack Armstrong]

I bet money that.

[Joe Getty]

So Sean Diddy Combs career imploded when dozens of women, dozens. Accused him of sex trafficking and beatings and rapings and all sorts of debauchery. But now Jackie's teaching his fellow inmates how to build up their careers. Combs has offered a six week class at his Brooklyn federal jail called Free Game with Diddy. Free game is slang on the street, they tell me, for knowledge or information given freely. Free game.

[Jack Armstrong]

So the classes are not as Katie had suggested, how to throw a freak off.

[Joe Getty]

Just figured based on his past.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Step one, the oil use for fun and profit. Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Step one, order 10,000 bottles of baby though. Step up to drug your participants because they ain't gonna like this Draw.

[Joe Getty]

Step three, draw up a guest list including friends and family you haven't seen for a while. Anyway, so according to the Free Game with Diddy syllabus, the course is a mix of positive thinking and business tips that give attendees advice on how to outwork the competition, tame their egos, deal with failure and set goals. And there is homework. So according to the syllabus.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. Did he think that this would help him get a better deal? Is that why he's doing this?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, indeed. And excuse me. And his lawyers are citing this as a reason that he should get a much shorter sentence.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure, he drugs and rapes and traffics underage women for sex, but look at him give back to the community.

[Joe Getty]

The course. This is from the syllabus. The course offers exclusive insights into the journey of Sean Diddy Combs, tracing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a globally recognized icon and influential business mogul. Is that again leav any mention of prostitution, human trafficking or beating women out of it. Let's see his lawyers provide the syllabus to the court. They said the music mogul views the class is one of the most impactful and important endeavors of my life. And they are citing his willingness to share his wisdom to get a lighter sentence. Now here's the part that I found really interesting. Oh, great reviews for the class among the inmates.

[Jack Armstrong]

Essay assignments. Got an essay assignments due on Friday. How to handle a mouthy bee in the hallway of a hotel. Oh, wow.

[Joe Getty]

Dark, but great comment. Yeah, yeah. Dark, but Katie, the judges will allow it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it worked.

[Joe Getty]

So hate that it worked, but it Worked one more Diddy note and then we'll get on to other things. But Combs launched the course after inmates kept asking him how he started his career. According to letters, his defense team submitted the judge. Blah, blah, blah. Several great reviews from inmates saying how it's changed their life. Keep up the great work, Zabba Dabadoo. Inmates teaching each other is fairly common in prison, where everybody's got plenty of free time and is expected to return to society eventually. For instance, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has taught French, not biology. She's taught French to inmates. The founder of ftx, Sam Bankman Fried. Remember him? Help fellow prisoners study for high school equivalency diplomas.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was going into the prison for a while teaching a thing. I did that for about a year.

[Joe Getty]

I know a guy who has been doing it for years and years and he describes it as incredibly rewarding. Bill Barone served time in prison after being convicted in the convicted in the New Jersey traffic jam scandal known as Bridgegate. He was later turned loose by the way. It was overturned. But he worked with other white collar inmates to teach a Shark Tank style class to his fellow prisoners about how to become an entrepreneur.

[Jack Armstrong]

Another P. Diddy tip. She starts to get tired. That's when you need to bring in the ketamine because she's about hour 30. She's gonna start to get really tired.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. The seminars in Combs class are named after a mix of self help jargon and cultural references and include Just Do It, Execute, Time Waits for no man and Can't Stop, Won't Stop, among other things. He has a teaching assistant just like a university class and a Spanish interpreter.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, so when I was going into the local prison and the whole process is something, I mean from the prison guards picking you up at the gate and driving you in there and going through all the various security things and anything you get back into the bowels of the prison. And this was all about maybe you should stop drinking. That's what the stuff I was talking about was. But some of the people are. There are usually a handful of people who are sincerely interested in being there and what you have to say. There are several people clearly just want to get out of their cells because they're bored, that they're just, they're. They're just there because they needed something else to do, which is fine.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I get it.

[Joe Getty]

Fair enough. Yeah. I would do the same. A lot of potholder making, huh? All right. Why not.

[Jack Armstrong]

Basket weaving? All right. It's better than sitting here and Staring at the wall. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Basket weaving taught by Diddy. See, now that, that'll get you out of your cell.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

So to earn your certificate of completion for taking Diddy's class, students must complete homework assignments, including goal setting exercises and an essay assignment to incorporate lessons from Combs own journey. He would grade it and tell you where you need to improve it. And he said, he's always saying, if you're not living, you're dying. And successful people do what unsuccessful people won't do.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll bet it was the biggest problem was you couldn't fit everybody into the class that wanted to take it. I mean, he's a giant celebrity. You're in prison. Here's a chance to go listen to a celebrity.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and he was one of quite a few guys you could describe as street hustlers who took their entrepreneurial spirit and their capacity for hard work and ambition and became very, very wealthy. The weird thing about sexual kinks and perversity is if you put all of that aside and if he were teaching this class in a community college, for instance, or to just offenders, you know, low level offenders, young offenders, you'd think, wow, that's incredibly cool that he's doing that now. Is it partly to curry favor with a judge? Yeah, of course. You think he's a tough teacher. Like those essays got to be 750.

[Jack Armstrong]

Words and double spaced or.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, no grade inflation with Diddy. No way. He will drag you down a hall and kick you. Sorry, I couldn't let it go to the hallway. Right, right. Don't you, don't you be taking that elevator till your homework is done.

[Jack Armstrong]

And if you do not get this paper in on time, I will kick you in the hallway.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I'll be excited to see how fast it takes for one of those.

[Jack Armstrong]

Certificates of completion to end up on like ebay. No kidding. If it's signed by P. Diddy, of course.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, I saw Fox. Was it Fox Digital or fox news? The TV show 50 Cent? Curtis 50. 50 Cent Jackson, he now refers to himself as is hosting some sort of show.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's on Fox. What's the show, Katie? Oh, it's Crime Stoppers or something. I'll look. Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but honestly now, you know he.

[Jack Armstrong]

Had to change his name. What was the Biden's? Inflation and everything.

[Joe Getty]

50 ways to catch a killer with 50 cent. There you go.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody's interested in somebody worth roughly nine pennies, which is where he is compared to where he started.

[Joe Getty]

So if it were 39 Ways to Catch a Killer hosted by 50 Cent. I would never watch that because that would be stupid Geamini Christmas. But I just in all seriousness, a guy like that, I everybody could learn something from him about, you know, just being positive, an entrepreneur, wrestling, working hard.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's a pretty disgusting human being though. How far are you willing to take.

[Joe Getty]

It that he sent or P. Diddy?

[Jack Armstrong]

P. Diddy? Yeah, P. Diddy. How about Harvey Weinstein? You cool with him teaching some, you know, how to make it in Hollywood? I'm sure he knows a lot about it. He's also a horrifying rapist.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm just making the point and you're not letting me, probably because of racism, that a lot of these guys are amazing American success stories and I'd like to hear more from them. How they got started and how they turned, you know, I I sold pot on the corner into I now have.

[Jack Armstrong]

A clothing line, Luigi Mangioni, eyebrow trimming or some sort of classic.

[Joe Getty]

Here it goes.

What if I persuaded my caucus to say I'm going to shut the government down, I am going to not pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. We believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say we're shutting down the government. We're not going to raise the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental chaos. We do not want to let a Trump temper tantrum govern our policies or cause the shutdown of a government which everyone on both sides of the aisles knows is the wrong idea. That's years past with Chuck Schumer was against shutdowns. It's just they both, both side to do this the whole shutdown. That's why I don't like to talk about it. It's all stupid. Both sides, when they think it benefits them will shut down the government. And then the other side claims that we should never shut down the government. Then you flip scripts when it goes, who cares? So far in my lifetime and I don't think it's ever amounted to anything in terms of doing anybody any good for anything. It's a sign of our dysfunction. I think I want to get to a verb before I get to the whole. Is the shutdown really about illegals getting free health care but a verb? I believe it's come up on the show recently, Katie. I think you maybe brought it to us or maybe I'm misremembering that. So yesterday the Democrats had attempted a 24 hour live stream with all their, I mean all the heavyweights. It was Schumer and Jeffries and Pelosi and, and, and AOC and all these different people at various times speaking they had this live stream going all day long and they were hoping to really build momentum to this for this. And they at times had as few as 400 people watching. Eventually pulled the plug on it way early because it was not working. I mean at one point there were 200 people watching. Oh nationwide. Whereas the White House did a live feed also and had a hundred thousand people watching. So at the time, at the time that the live band. This is some inside DC stuff. No normal person knew this was going on or cares at all. None of you, you listening now. And none of your friends were on either of these live streams or paying attention to them at all. This is completely DC media crap. But anyway, if you were following both live streams at the same time, at the time that The Democrats had 400 on theirs and the Republicans had 100,000 on theirs. One of the Republicans tweeted out the White House is schlonging Democrats on the viewer count here. Oh, now I think. Was it you, Katie, that brought us that schlonging is a verb. Now a while back, I possibly.

[Joe Getty]

It sounds like something I'd say.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think schlonging has become over all that. Might have been one of your kids that said that.

[Katie Green]

Schlonging.

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like it made it onto the air somehow.

[Joe Getty]

Anyway, we please get to a definition before that word is spoken anymore. It's a untoward. It's.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a. Is it Yiddish or anything like that or is it just a. Yeah, it's derived from the Yiddish slang word schlong.

[Joe Getty]

Is it an FCC violation, this word?

[Jack Armstrong]

If so, I'm obviously fired.

[Joe Getty]

So only if you're an anti Semite.

[Jack Armstrong]

Whatever you're reading from there about it being a Yiddish word for male genitalia.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but it implies a humiliating defeat.

[Jack Armstrong]

As a verb, schlonging. Well, if a word's going to become popular, I need to be able to use it properly.

[Joe Getty]

There's no hiding it.

[Jack Armstrong]

We got to work harder. I mean there's a, there's a Republican congressperson that put out that the White House is schlonging the Democrats on the viewer count right now. And it has 100, 000 on one side and 400 the other side.

[Joe Getty]

Please, Claire, what else would you call it?

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't want to be, you know. What?

[Joe Getty]

The White House.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe you do want to be schlonged. I don't know. It's none of my business.

[Joe Getty]

Don't ask, don't tell. Right. What was the White House streaming? Do we know that?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Similar pro funny Mexican videos maybe.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

Trump is all five mariachis and Hakeem Jeffries in a black mustache and sombrero.

[Jack Armstrong]

So why is in the fake video Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the House, wearing a sombrero and a big black mustache. It's two with the mariachi band playing in the background. That is Trump on the trumpet. It's to draw attention to the whole. Illegals, usually of Hispanic descent are going to get free health care paid. Paid for by the taxpayer. You're an illegal and you're getting taxpayer funded health care under the Democrats plan. Is that to what extent that's true or not? I haven't looked into it because I'm not going to look into it. I know how this works after all these years. Legislation gets so complicated. You can have two different things that are opposite statements be true at the same time. Very easy when it comes to legislation. It's so. It's like the famous John Kerry. I voted for it before I voted against it, which was technically true. It just didn't work as a political message. It was just right. Legislation gets very complicated. But as Charlie Hurt pointed out yesterday on Fox, the Democrats earned people being skeptical about their stance on. Because all mainstream media is saying that is a lie. By the way, the Democrats proposal does not allow illegals to have health care paid for by the taxpayer. Well, they earned this position. Let's remember in the Democrat primary for 2020, all the Democrats running, there are about a dozen of them on stage were asked which ones of them supported giving free health care to illegal aliens paid for by legal taxpayers. Every single one of them raised their hands. So I don't even know why they're pretending to, to refute this and to claim that this isn't what they're doing because this is exactly what they promised their voters, their Democrat voters that they would do. Do you remember that? I remember coming in the next day and talking about it. I was flabbergast watching on tv. Every single person raised their hand up for who's in favor of free health care for illegals.

[Joe Getty]

And I remember famously senile Joe Biden didn't raise his hand. Then he looked around, then he raised his hand late.

[Jack Armstrong]

So crazy. But yeah. So you earned skepticism about this. It's, it's a lot more difficult. Not. That is not true. We would do not believe in free health care for illegals.

[Joe Getty]

For, for the, the record, the legislation does not specifically say and we're going to give this to illegals. It just lets it happen. It does not include the safeguards to prevent it. So y. They can make a lawyerly argument that no, this doesn't give it to illegal aliens in the right, but it's, it's misleading.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that's why I think they're getting schlonged on the issue.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, up and up one side and down the other. Are you kidding me?

[Jack Armstrong]

Repeatedly schlonged.

[Joe Getty]

I was watching an interview last night on, on Fox News and it was one learned commentator talking to another. And, and the one guy said just read the legislation. It's right there. Oh, that's right. It was. John Roberts was interviewing Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House. And Mike Johnson said, Look at section 61, subsection B32B. It says right there Then. And Robert stopped him. He said, I did read it. I couldn't figure out what it meant. And they had a bit of a chuckle. But to your point about schlong, you know, God bless it, he can't be stopped. Michael, you have the microphone button right.

[Jack Armstrong]

In front of you.

[Joe Getty]

Do the right thing. Have the courage, Michael, to do the right thing. Anyway. But to your point, John Roberts, who's a very bright guy, was like, I would like to say I agree with you, but I can't. I can't make any sense of this legislative language. So, yeah, it's just, oh, there's so much dishonesty. That's why we're supposed to have a small government. Oh, well.

[Jack Armstrong]

So a different topic. I think the WNBA players are about to make a huge mistake. So the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement is set to expire end of this month, and they are talking about a work stoppage that they're going to walk out.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that government shutdown thinks that's a bad idea. Yeah, the government shutdown thinks, boys, anybody going to care? Man, oh, man. So the players wearing the shirts that say, because the playoffs are going on right now. You didn't know that. Which is part of the point. You didn't know that the playoffs are going on right now because very few people watch. And it. It's. It's precious. God bless. Bless your heart. Is that what you're supposed to say? Bless their hearts. That all your mainstream sports broadcasts will throw that in because they think they should to be nice. It is not driven by any interest in it. If it were a male sport that got as much attention as the WNBA does, they wouldn't cover it. The playoffs are going on for indoor soccer, for instance, wouldn't make it onto your sports cast.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Because there's just not enough juice to it. And there's not for the WNBA and they're wearing the T shirts for the playoffs to pay us what you owe us. Well, they. They are. You've been subsidized to death by the NBA this entire time. You would not be solvent at all if the NBA wasn't subsidizing this.

[Joe Getty]

How do they not get that?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know who's. Whoever. Their leaders are not being straight with them.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. And. Or. And I keep thinking I fully appreciate this and I keep being amazed anew the capacity human beings have to ignore facts that are inconvenient to their ideology, including, like, ignoring all of the facts. How can, as a WNBA player, you, you suggest that you're getting ripped off. The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA to build goodwill and because they had a string of players who abused women or raped women or whatever, and they thought, oh my God, we got to do something positive for women.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the reality.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. There are lacrosse leagues that, you know, have as many. Till Caitlin Clark showed up. Of course, that's another controversy. The, the various heads of the union and stuff are again saying Caitlin ought to shut up. The only reason she's earning these riches is because of the wnba.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, well, they might drive her into ice cubes three on three competition. Eventually she might think, you know what? Screw this.

[Joe Getty]

Form the. And, and I want to cut of this if it happens. Caitlin. All right. Form the Harlem Girl Trotters women's razzle dazzle basketball league. And she jacks up 50 footers regularly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

They play the Washington General or whatever and you know, the, the barnstorming tour for us. You make plenty of money then Washington General. Let's are not going to elbow her in the side of her head either.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't take any glee in this. It's fine with me that the WNBA exists and the fans that like it, like it. That's fine. It's just the, the pretending it's more than it's not is. Well, it's just dumb.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah, it's. It's an odd thing, affirmative action for.

[Jack Armstrong]

A sports league and these girls that have worked so hard and, and everything their whole lives to, to get into this, being misled that you're just being really stolen from now. Now, if the NBA was going to be honest about it, they'd say, you know, this is a loss for us. We should probably, probably let this go.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, it's. I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

I'm tired and you can't fix the world and you're. People don't understand commerce and you're every.

[Jack Armstrong]

Player but Caitlin Clark, who's already rich enough she didn't have to work again all those other plays. You're going to be in Europe playing for even a smaller crowd, for even less money if this goes away. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see if they, if they actually do a work stoppage and outworks. I mean, it, it, it hurt Major League Baseball. And, and that was at a time when baseball was really beloved and it really, really damaged that sport. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Part of it resentment, but part of it, just as I said yesterday about my baseball viewing, I just fell out.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of the habit and there's lots of entertainment options in the modern roll, lots.

[Joe Getty]

Of them more than ever, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Said every time she walks into a pub in Ireland, people give her free drinks. She left out that it's from a bowl on the floor.

[Joe Getty]

All right, didn't have my headphones on. What did I miss?

[Jack Armstrong]

Nothing. So why didn't I notice this? Obviously so mentioned earlier in the show, Elon is once again the world's richest person. He briefly was dethroned by Paul Allen who had had a huge he, he, he gained $100 billion in one day because again, anybody's ever had in one day in personal wealth and passed Elon. But Elon's back on top again after yesterday. And why didn't I notice that? This obviously happened. Tesla stock skyrocketed on their earnings report.

[Joe Getty]

Why?

[Jack Armstrong]

Because the $7,500 EV mandate ended yesterday or day before whatever, the end of September and and people ran out like crazy to buy Teslas before it went away. And Tesla stock just screamed up in the last month. Why didn't I think of that? That's an obvious one. It's a no brainer.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but why would the stock go up? I mean, because it won't continue.

[Jack Armstrong]

It works. People were anticipating what they anticipated, I guess, you know, and then it will.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, it had gone up.

[Jack Armstrong]

I see. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

But because of that, Elon, his net worth went up so much with Tesla stock back up to a crazy level. He's now worth, for the first time ever, we have someone on planet Earth worth a half a trillion dollars. He's a half a trillionaire. $500 billion. Wow. That's crazy money.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. I would like to have more money than I have. I don't need that much money.

[Jack Armstrong]

How much would it change your life? My kids always say, what would you do if we won the lottery, dad? They like to play that game. I'd say pretty much exactly what I'm doing now. I don't think I'd do much different.

[Joe Getty]

Oh no, I. I would. Yeah, I would. Very different. I would have. I'm serious. I would have houses. All my favorite places. Instead of like staying in hotels and schlepping my stuff there and back.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't want to go renting a car and all. I see that, that, that eliminates that need for me. I don't want to go anywhere.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. See, I like, I would pick four or five golf meccas and have homes there where I could bring, bring my friends and we would just stay at my super cool house and go play golf and stuff like that. Other than that, probably not much. Oh, I'd fly private for sure if.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you, if I went anywhere, I would. Yes.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

But I'm hoping not to. I don't know, I just.

[Joe Getty]

I'm a simple man with simple needs. I love the fact a private jet and four or five homes.

[Jack Armstrong]

I love the fact that Elon, you know, he's not like Jeff Bezos thinking, well, I need to get the world's biggest yacht. Even bigger than the. The mbs. Has to show how freaking cool I am. Elon doesn't seem to care about that all stuff. All. What he cares about the most is saving the planet. He thinks climate change is a big problem. That's why he started electric car company. He also and impregnating hotties and having 15 kids from 13 different women. And he also thinks the only species that can survive in the universe needs to be multi planetary. That there have probably been Other species on in the world, but they only lived on one planet. Eventually that planet either gets ruined or dies on its own. So that's the end of the species. So for humans to survive, we need to be on more than one planet. He believes that to his core. And that's what he's going to spend his money on.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, I get that. I would love to talk to him about that. Just because, you know, my, my skeptical take is that anything truly cataclysmic is unlikely to happen for so many years. There's just too much chance for other things you haven't anticipated to happen. That there's no point in planning for what's going to happen in 3 million years. So you think you should just go.

[Jack Armstrong]

Out and buy the biggest. I'll buy an even bigger yacht than Jeff Bezos has.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah, and a wife with big bolt ons too. That is what Bezos did. Popcorn, peanuts, pot. Final thoughts.

[Jack Armstrong]

Get your final thoughts here. Yeah, that was from our conversation earlier. Wondering at big, big concert festivals, do they not now like you have a beer stand, do you have a weed stand at concerts? Somebody should probably can tell us.

[Joe Getty]
