Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. It's not likely to be just the automakers. I mean, the president is going to decide this today, but he's talking about it. But I think it's likely that it will cover all USMCA compliant goods and services. So that which is part of President.
Joe Getty
Trump's deal with Canada and Mexico are.
Jack Armstrong
Likely to get an exemption from these.
Joe Getty
Tariffs for a month. Is that what they're saying?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Well, the John continues the negotiations, the talks, if you will.
Joe Getty
Will it keep working to do this? If every time. Yeah. Back off of it?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. At some point even panty waste. Trudeau, pick up the phone. Say, look, can we skip this part? What do you want?
Joe Getty
So tariff on all Canadian goods started what, midnight Monday or Tuesday, and then except for the car makers they announced yesterday and now today they're saying and everything else except for the cars and everything else. So it's on hold.
Jack Armstrong
Canadian bacon, which the president has renamed Montana ham.
Joe Getty
Well, I refer to Canada as gay North Dakota.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, wow, wow, wow. That is way out of bounds. Speaking of gay usmca, it's fun to trade in the usmcaa. And yes, I am doing letters. Oh, Canada. We got more on that as we got develops. Yes.
Joe Getty
We got this text earlier. Jack, your laugh is infectious. Love hearing it. My life actually is infectious as I.
Jack Armstrong
Have the flu, ironically. Yes, yes.
Joe Getty
And I'm going to talk sneeze in his cough. Yeah, I was going to talk a little bit about the flu and flu vaccine and stuff as I've learned a few things about it. As I didn't get the vaccine and I got the fluid. I'll tell you what, I'd get the vaccine every year if I could avoid this. Although I've only got the flu, I think once in my life. So if I only get it once every 40 years, not getting the vaccine, it's not much of A risk. But more on that.
Jack Armstrong
You're old now, you fool. That's the difference.
Joe Getty
Does that make it more likely that you get the flu?
Jack Armstrong
It makes it more likely. It really, really hurts you, huh? Oh yeah, it's like Covid. Just think of it like Covid. Nobody healthy under the age of 55 should have done a damn thing, especially not the kids. Similar with the flu.
Joe Getty
I'm not dying the flu.
Jack Armstrong
Old. Yeah, well, we'll see. Anyway, there's so much I want to squeeze into this half hour and, and then at the bottom of the hour, the hour, we're going to play some audio from the hearings yesterday in Congress where they hauled a bunch of sanctuary city mayors into the hearing room and berated them. Good fun for everyone. But I got a bunch of stuff to get to. All of it deserves a couple of minutes. I've changed my mind on one thing we've got to get these two stories on. They're both from Cal Unicornia and either many of our listeners are Cal Unicornians, many are not. So it's either directly applicable to you or trust me, somebody's going to try to introduce this in your state soon and you need to be forewarned. Let's begin by playing Joe Getty's how they Gonna Solve it, the brand new game show everyone loves. Jack. First of all, in an irony among ironies, California leaders are facing a quandary arising from the rise of sales of electric cars. As more people buy fuel efficient zero emissions vehicles, the public's consumption of gas has declined. So the revenue from gas taxes has declined significantly. It's increasing problematic, says this professor of urban planning at UCLA. Gas tax revenues could are about 13 billion last year. They could fall as low as $5 billion in the next quite a few years.
Joe Getty
You're talking about just the state of California here.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, just state of California.
Joe Getty
Well, I know they're, I know how they're going to fix it.
Jack Armstrong
Although there are federal taxes also they get into the fact that for all their benefits, electric vehicles still create problems. Equipped with heavy batteries, these fuel efficient cars and trucks tend to weigh more than their counterparts. So they do more damage to. They unleash more micro rubber fragments and plastic from the tires into the atmosphere. They also accelerate more quickly which increases the risk of collisions, blah, blah, blah. So all of these problems, Jack, can you guess how are they gonna solve it?
Joe Getty
Yeah, in California they're just gonna, they want you to stop driving gas powered cars. So of course they'll just add more tax to a gallon of Gas with the idea that thanks to electric cars, blah, blah, blah. In states where, well, in people don't like electric cars, they're not buying them, so it's not an issue. Oh, I, I see. I was at the Tesla charging thing yesterday and it, it, when I first started charging my car there three years ago, there'd be two cars there, maybe no cars. This particular Tesla charging thing by the station, there's, I don't know, 15 stalls now it's regularly full and you have to wait. And so that's a pretty limiting factor, I think. And that's for Teslas. If you have a regular, if you have a different kind of electric car, you can't charge it anywhere. I mean, none of those things work. So I just, I don't. It seems so incredibly unworkable. And then you add in the politics of it, if the bloom is off the rose for Tesla because people hate Elon so much. Only lefties were really into electric cars to start with, aside from me, because I just wanted the world's fastest car. But only lefties really were into electric cars. Anyway, now they've turned on Elon. What's it gonna do that might blow up the whole electric car thing? Just people's hatred of Trump.
Jack Armstrong
So this think tank gal who they quote, suggested a variety of policy solutions, including mostly new taxes or fees that could hinge on how many miles you drive, no matter what you're driving, or how many cars a household owns. Soon you'll have to report your mileage to Uncle Gavi and be taxed on it, no matter what you're driving, and taxes will go up and that's how they're gonna solve it.
Joe Getty
So with the goal of driving more people into electric cars, which has got a ton of problems that I just pointed out nice.
Jack Armstrong
And is absolutely not clearly an environmental win according to any sober analysis. And I'm not anti, I'm not pro, I don't care. And then this also from Cal Unicornia, compiled by loyal listener Paolo, excellent correspondent. You may know this. Blue states all over the country have been subsidizing rooftop solar electric installation and generation. More precisely, non solar customers have been subsidizing solar customers through various means. And solar customers generally have higher income. So that's not sitting well with the non solar crowd, nor with the equity minded, the progressives in government. And that doesn't include one in particular of the equity minded, Gavin Newsom, who promoted policies that led to this. I mean, Gavi has been hammering solar like a lunatic since he came Onto the scene. But it can't be his fault. So California is blaming an unlikely villain for your high energy bills. Da da da da. So the state government now is turning the people who listened and installed solar and responded to the incentives and all as the scapegoats. California regulators, analysts, and even the governor himself have recently blamed popular solar incentive programs for saddling other rate payers with higher energy. Indeed, the arguments from state officials pit the energy bills of two groups of California customers, the haves and have nots, at home solar against each other. It's a dramatic pivot from the state with more rooftop solar panels than any other. So if you have solar, look to get hammered by the very government that berated you to get solar. Yeah, you laugh.
Joe Getty
I laugh. Well, that's the sort of thing that happens when government starts getting involved in the free market. You know, getting back to the electric car thing. 7,500dollar subsidy on electric cars, so you go out and buy it one of the cheaper Teslas and you're in the right income range. The rest of US taxpayers pay 7, $500 of your car so that it's more affordable for you. What kind of wealth redistribution is that? And if that goes away, tons of those electric cars, those smaller ones that people buy, they ain't gonna buy.
Jack Armstrong
Right? Right. And again, all of this for something that's not a clear environmental win. Finally, this, at least for this segment. Jack and I are both firearms owners, enthusiasts, not experts. But South Carolina plans to execute a man by firing squad tomorrow.
Joe Getty
Whoa, I didn't know any state still did that. Was old sparky on the fritz?
Jack Armstrong
No, they just thought, hey, let's save a little money, old Sparky. You know, it's a high maintenance, that sort of thing.
Joe Getty
Did somebody any point say, you know, it'd be fun? I mean, how did they come up with this idea?
Jack Armstrong
Well, in terms of the process of death, there could be nothing less painful than sudden catastrophic gun injury.
Joe Getty
I think lethal injection's pretty well, they.
Jack Armstrong
Got a jab you and find a vein. Sometimes they have to jab you over and over again.
Joe Getty
As much as I hate needles, I think I'd take the lethal injection over being shot, Even though I realize it probably not be very painful.
Jack Armstrong
As many people have pointed out, Inert gas, inert gas, you fall asleep and then you die for the lack of oxygen. It would work easily.
Joe Getty
I don't think it would hurt to get shot. Read Executioner song by Norman Mailer sometime. If you want to know a lot about the death penalty and getting shot. Because that's how it ends. He gets shot. But the fear leading up to it would be brutal sitting there in that chair.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, it would. I hope they Xanax you up or something like that. Anyway, that's the. We're not here to talk about that. Jack, can I have a little something.
Joe Getty
To take the edge off, like a. I don't know, a Goldschlager shot or margarita or something?
Jack Armstrong
You know what? I've recovered my footing here. I'm obviously working with a progressive here. Hey, don't slaughter people in cold blood. You won't have to worry about it.
Joe Getty
Point you always.
Jack Armstrong
The hell.
Joe Getty
We always get into this conversation and put it as if it were us. Well, it's not going to be us because I'm not going to do some horrific crime that serves the death penalty.
Jack Armstrong
Exactly. I was going to yell at you, but you yelled at you pretty effectively, so I'll let it go. Do we have time for this? We really don't have time for this. I will describe to you why even firearms experts are questioning whether this is a good idea.
Joe Getty
Oh, wow.
Jack Armstrong
South Kakalaki. You gotta check yourself. Stony, tell us to come.
Joe Getty
What's next in the South?
Jack Armstrong
Well, if the shooting goes well, we might think about stoning. Yeah, why not?
Joe Getty
You know, I got something about the medieval justice system that will fit in with this just fine that I came across yesterday.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, which burnings and stuff or.
Joe Getty
Yeah, the media. Medieval justice system. Not that great. Not that great. We got a lot more on the way. Stay with us.

Joe Getty
Meanwhile, at the old timey Executions desk, here's Joe Getty.
Jack Armstrong
So in South Carolina, one of my many adopted home states, the South Carolina Department of Corrections is going to execute a dude tomorrow. Theoretically, he's they're gonna strap this Brad Sigmund, who by the way, didn't like his ex girlfriend's parents so beat them to death with a baseball bat 23 years ago.
Joe Getty
Anytime you get into the what the person did, all of a sudden I don't care how they're murdered.
Jack Armstrong
Doesn't matter to me anymore so they're gonna strap him to a metal seat in the same small indoor brick death chamber where South Carolina has executed more than 40 other prisoners by electric chair and lethal injections since 1985. It's kind of like that room in your house. It's an all purpose room. Anyway, if the execution goes According to plan, 6:00 Friday evening, Eastern time, Sigmund's head will be covered by a hood. A target will be placed over his heart. Three prison employees will be prepared to shoot Sigmund from a distance of about 15ft.
Joe Getty
That's awful close.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. In Utah, which is the only state.
Joe Getty
Why would you want to be further away?
Jack Armstrong
Where?
Joe Getty
Obviously the farther you are away, the more likely you miss.
Jack Armstrong
Well, right, right, sure. Now, Utah, the only other state that's executed prisoners by firing squad in the past 50 years, does the traditional five shooters, four with a live round, one with a blank. So all of them, if necessary, can convince themselves it wasn't me. Kill the guy.
Joe Getty
Yeah, read.
Jack Armstrong
It's an interesting deal.
Joe Getty
But seriously, Executioner Song is one of the most interesting books I've ever read about crime and punishment and everything else. But anyway, back to you.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, anyway, says South Carolina. Shut up. Utah, they got three guys, each with a live bullet. Anyway. They got three guys.
Joe Getty
Three guys with a hammer. And they ain't sober.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, boy. Reads the execution order. The team will fire, the protocol states. And they will also have journalists, lawyers and family members sit in a space directly beside the gas chamber behind a class glass partition. But firearms inspectors.
Joe Getty
Who wants to watch that?
Jack Armstrong
Ah, boy. I don't want to get like, crazy, crazy gross. There are ways you could make it less bad, but again, I don't. People haven't tuned in for that. But firearms experts who are no left wingers are saying, guys, I wouldn't shoot in that space. I wouldn't even be in the room. It's just an unnecessary risk. Well, yeah, you got a small room built of brick and a guy strapped to a metal chair.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I would agree. So, I mean, if I had to, you know, Christy Gnome style, get rid of a farm dog. I'm not putting them in a brick room. That'd be crazy.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and you wouldn't strap them to anything but strapped to a metal chair. That's just a terrible idea. Depending on what you know, the chair's made of in the sort of ammunition, the rest of it, the firing squad chair, SC said, no, we're good. The firing squad chair is surrounded by protective equipment and the prison installed bullet Resistant glass between the witness room and the death chamber. The witness room looks uncomfortably like someone's home theater. It doesn't quite have the really reclining chairs, but they look quite comfortable.
Joe Getty
And is there a concession stand?
Jack Armstrong
Oh, boy. Oh, Jack. Ricochets aren't the only danger when bullets are shot in closed spaces. Since lead particles and noxious gases are released, people who use shooting range are required by law. Oh, shut up.
Joe Getty
Must have ricocheted.
Jack Armstrong
Hearing loss is another risk. Wear headphones, you morons.
Joe Getty
I wouldn't want to watch that. I don't quite get going to an execution anyway. I mean, thank God I've never been in this situation and hopefully never will be, where a loved one is, you know, so horribly murdered by someone that they get the death penalty. But I don't need to watch them snuffed for any sort of closure or anything. I'm not criticizing anybody who does. You get to do whatever you want, but I can't imagine wanting to do that.
Jack Armstrong
As long as it is an open enough process that we're assured that it was carried out according to the laws of the state and the country and what, he's tortured or anything like that, I'm fine with that. But, you know, one interesting truth about the death penalty, which I'm not against exactly, is that families think it will bring them closure when the person is finally executed after decades and it almost never does.
Joe Getty
Right. That is one of the biggest problems with it.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, this is not a debate about the death penalty in general, but I wonder if South Kakalaki is going to go ahead.
Joe Getty
Well, what's the argument against it? It just sounds awful.
Jack Armstrong
Or most of the arguments against specific methods of execution are phony. They're just efforts to postpone it in general.
Joe Getty
Yeah, because you're against it and you can be against it. I mean, you can make a solid argument against the death penalty. As a libertarian, I mean, there's all kinds of, you know, good reasons to argue against it.
Jack Armstrong
I find a single.45 caliber slug while someone sleeps would be completely merciful, but we don't do that. Most of the arguments are funny.
Amy Brown

Joe Getty
Take your seat, sir.
Jack Armstrong
Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted Disruption of property. Decorum. The chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber. The ejection of Al Green. Not the sole singer. The representative. Was it racism? No, it wasn't. Does anybody have any other questions? It's because he's an idiot.
Joe Getty
So he got censured.
Jack Armstrong
That's correct, Jack.
Joe Getty
Whatever. Whatever. Geez, I'm surprised that Norm hasn't been blown up. And in that somebody just keeps doing things and getting censured. Like, go ahead, censure me. What do I care?
Jack Armstrong
All right? These people have no shame. You can't. They can't be. Shame. Shame on you. I. I have none.
Joe Getty
Well, and just the public doesn't care.
Jack Armstrong
So, yeah, it's all so performative.
Joe Getty
Yes, it is.
Jack Armstrong
And it raises money. So speaking of the House of Representatives, such as it is, they hold held a House hearing on sanctuary cities yesterday, which is a topic well worth talking about. Oh, heck, my goodness. Declaring yourself immune from cooperating with federal authorities or above the law, or so righteous as to not have to participate in our great self governance experiment. That's the way I see sanctuary cities anyway. So, yeah, it should be looked into. I'd love for the Supreme Court to weigh in on it eventually.
Joe Getty
House hearings are usually not the best way to get to the bottom of anything. Yeah, the Supreme Court just needs to rule. Finally, they need to skip to that and just say, is this okay or not? The Supreme Court's gonna say, nah, you can't do that. That's the end of it.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, right. I fear the dreaded narrow ruling, but yeah, I would love to see it work through that process, and I suspect very strongly it will. One has to remind oneself, which is really, don't talk in real life, that Trump's been in office for what, six weeks, five weeks, something like that? Yeah, like six weeks. So there's plenty of time to get to that. Anyway, so the House of Representatives, the hearings, as Jack indicated, not the best way to actually get to the bottom of issues, but they're an excellent opportunity to yell at people and be entertained. So first of all, we've got Congressperson Gill, who I don't think I know their act, joined with Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, who if there were three of them, that would almost amount to normal intelligence. He is a union hack and a liar and a cheat and a communist and a hundred other things. Clip 81st. Michael and Jack, you jump in anytime. It's a little longish. We can bail as needed. Mayor Johnson, I want to start with You. One of your first actions as mayor was establishing a deputy mayor for immigrant, migrant, and refugee rights. I want to ask you a series of questions. If you could answer with a yes or no answer, that'd be great.
Joe Getty
Yes. No, first of all, do you support.
Jack Armstrong
Allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses? Just yes or no. Can you pause that? The city of Chicago has been a welcoming city for over 40. So we all know the yes, no question thing is just a trap game and it's stupid and performative. And if anybody ever said just yes or no, even if I had a simple yes or no answer, I would launch into some long screed just to piss them off. And Gil is on my side of this. I agree with him completely. But that's just a game.
Joe Getty
Although on driver's licenses for illegals, that's a. That's a yes or no, isn't it?
Jack Armstrong
It certainly can be. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, let's go. Brandon Johnson continues. I'll take that as a yes.
Joe Getty
Next question. That's the policy that we will hold to.
Jack Armstrong
Do you support tax dollars subsidizing or paying for the health care of illegal aliens?
Joe Getty
I support investments in all residents of the people of Chicago, and that's what I do.
Jack Armstrong
That's a yes as well. Do you support free or reduced college for illegal aliens?
Joe Getty
Again, I support the investments of all residents of the people of Chicago.
Jack Armstrong
That is a yes. Next question. Do you support. Okay, if you get to five yeses, he gets booted out of office or what? Okay, that's enough of that. And he works his way to. Do you support taxpayer funding of abortions for illegal aliens? And Johnson gives the same, you know, reasonably diplomatic effort answer, rather, hey, all residents of Chicago get the same thing. That's not a bad dodge. Again, I'm staunchly against, you know, a lot of these policies. I'm just talking about the strategy of arguing it.
Joe Getty
How do you not politically say no, though? Because it's not popular even in Chicago. No, it's definitely not part popular nationwide. I don't think he's got his sights set on national office, but it's not even popular in Chicago or New York at this point. All this stuff for illegals. Why wouldn't you just say no? Even if in reality, every citizen, every citizen, every resident gets the same treatment.
Jack Armstrong
You know, the, the, the college president gals who were pro antisemitism just didn't want to admit it. They're the rare, rare example of a. Where a non answer isn't the best answer because Johnson's diplomatic half answer just. It's hard to get to stirred up over it.
Joe Getty
So what's the justification for every resident gets the same treatment?
Jack Armstrong
That's just their philosophy of G governance. They'd say we don't. We don't pick and choose. We don't worry who's who in the city of Chicago. We look out for everybody because we're one big happy family.
Joe Getty
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
All right. You know, effectively, you know, budgetarily. That's insane. But it sounds good because difficult.
Joe Getty
It wouldn't be difficult to, you know, you got to show an ID showing your. Of course. Then how to. Who do you ask to prove? Because I've never been asked to prove I'm a US citizen for anything.
Jack Armstrong
White privilege right there, folks. Do you hear that?
Joe Getty
So you're just gonna. Anybody who's kind of tan, you're gonna make them come up with some documentation that they were born here.
Jack Armstrong
Speaks with an accent. Right. That there are practical issues. You know, I'm trying to be fair about this.
Joe Getty
Saw you watching soccer match on your phone out there in the lobby. You got any documentation?
Jack Armstrong
Well, right. And what's interesting to me is asking him about specifics. He actually has a reasonable case to make that. No, we don't worry about who's what, citizenship status. As long as you live here, we take care of you. But a sanctuary city in general if it extends to we do not cooperate with ICE when they tell us you have a dangerous felon you're about to let out. We need to take him and get rid of him. I. I despise that. A little bit of Byron Donald's of Florida talking to a handful of mayors. Next clip. Michael, did your city spend on illegal immigration?
Joe Getty
Do you have much over the last couple of years on all newcomers, whatever their status was? It's around 79 million since 2022. 79 million. Mayor Johnson, Chicago, how much is the city of Chicago spent on illegal immigration? If you referring to the 2022 up to 2024 of the buses coming from Texas, roughly the same percentage of the state of Texas. About 1% of our overall budget. What is that because we don't have the city's budget in front of me numbers? It's 1%. And if you want the actual calculation.
Jack Armstrong
We can make sure someone.
Joe Getty
You're the mayor. You don't have the math in front of you. It's 1% of the overall budget over the last reason why you were failing. Which is the same number that New York actually state of Texas legal immigration Mayor Johnson, I already asked you. You don't have a hard number and if you don't have a hard number, you're not running your city well. Mayor Adams, how much did the city of New York actually spend on illegal immigration? 6.9 billion of taxpayers. $.9 billion of taxpayer money on a problem that was fostered on the American people. Mayor Wu, in the city of Boston, how much did you spend?
Amy Brown
We don't ask about immigration status and delivering.
Joe Getty
You don't ask about how much money the city of Boston has spent on illegal immigration. Out of your mind.
Amy Brown
Between immigration status, do you manage your budget or not?
Joe Getty
Mayor.
Amy Brown
That is how we keep.
Joe Getty
Mayor Wu, do you manage your budget?
Amy Brown
Budget or numbers to prove it? I manage my budget. I have a triple A bond rating dating back 10 years.
Jack Armstrong
Of Boston.
Joe Getty
Just understand that your mayor does not care how much of your resources she has spent on people who are not citizens.
Amy Brown
The city of Boston.
Joe Getty
Mr. Bear, I have a question for you because I understand Cato's perspective when.
Jack Armstrong
It comes to illegal immigration. I understand that. Okay, that's enough of that, isn't it?
Joe Getty
Who, who here can do a one handed push up?
Jack Armstrong
I can't.
Joe Getty
I just keep hitting them with questions.
Jack Armstrong
You can't do a one handed push up. Mayor Woo. Bringing it there. Woohoo, says I. And then do you want to hear people yelling at each other? It's Ayanna Presley who hates America and James Comer. What?
Joe Getty
There's obviously something flawed with these hearings and that. I'm not digging the questioners even though I agree with them 100%. It's that the process is just not the best.
Jack Armstrong
Well, it's. It's not even pretending to fulfill the purpose it claims to be there for. You know what I mean? They're not. It's not a hearing. It's. It's a. It's a debate.
Joe Getty
Yeah, like rather than the yes, no, I'll take that as a yes or you don't know the raw number. I would like to hear him explain your philosophy of why you think taxpayers should have to support illegals.
Jack Armstrong
Is there any limit to the number of illegal immigrants that you think? I mean, is there any limit to the amount of money you'd be willing to spend? Taxpayer money. And at what point do you think the taxpayers might revolt? Blah blah. Yeah, be an interesting discussion, but there's no time for that. More yelling coming up in a moment. Stay with us. Speaking of policy and how at least results every 26 seconds thanks to progressive policies that I'm Sure. Mayor Wu enjoys a burglary takes place in the US that means by the time you know, our show ends, dozens of homes will be targeted and broken into. But with Simplisafe's Active guard Outdoor protection, it can help prevent break ins before they happen.
Joe Getty
So you've got AI powered cameras backed by live professional monitoring agents to monitor your property. And if someone's lurking around or acting weird and suspicious, those agents will actually see and talk to them in real time. Activate spotlights. I love that. Flip on the spotlight.
Jack Armstrong
Say, hey, what are you doing over.
Joe Getty
There behind the bushes, you scumbag? And then they go running off, tail between their legs. They'll even contact the police. All before they have a chance to get inside your home.
Jack Armstrong
Low no. What? No long term contracts or cancellation fees. Monitoring plans start affordably at around a buck a day. It's amazing. Simplisafe.com Armstrong claim 50 off a new system with a professional monitoring plan in your first month free. That's simply safe.com Armstrong there's no safe like simply safe. I haven't actually heard this, but I. I heard it's decent. Ayanna Presley, who hates America, part of the squad. And James Comer, who's a bit of a hard ass, battling here in clip 83. Michael. Mr.
Joe Getty
Chair, can I. I have several articles.
Jack Armstrong
I need to enter them.
Joe Getty
Let me just go ahead with the.
Amy Brown
What the articles are.
Joe Getty
What's the next. Next article?
Jack Armstrong
Let me proceed.
Joe Getty
Data from Texas shows that U. S. Born Americans commit more rape murder than immigrants. In this trend of you all trying to get thrown out of committee so you can get on MSNBC is going to end. We're not going to put up with it. You can go. You can go with Mr. Frost and Mr. Green claiming my time. That's what you want. No, Ms. Presley. I've been very. I have been very accommodating to you, Mr. Subrajan.
Jack Armstrong
Let's go.
Joe Getty
I will insert into record this is my right.
Jack Armstrong
Thank you.
Joe Getty
No, no, it is. Mr. Subraman.
Jack Armstrong
Mr.
Joe Getty
Chair.
Jack Armstrong
No.
Joe Getty
You know the process of unanimous consent. You. You are not recognized. I have several articles to enter into the record. Mr. Superignan, if you don't go, we're.
Jack Armstrong
Going to recognize Mr. Timmons. Oh, no. The simple truth, be it, be it shoplifting, murder or yelling, your wackadoodle squad talking points, even though you're breaking all the rules, is if the sanction is inadequate to deter the action, the action will continue.
Joe Getty
Yeah, and I again, I equipped the.
Jack Armstrong
Sergeant at Arms with a taser simple as that.
Joe Getty
Bring out the compliance belt. I think it would have been more effective to let her say those freaking ridiculous statistics about so, so what's your logic here? Let's. Let's ship out all us born citizens and bring in people from other countries because they commit rape and murder at a lower rate. I mean what, what is the hell is the point here? But I'd rather have her say it and then have people push back against it, either statistically or philosophically.
Jack Armstrong
And sure, yeah, native borns commit rape at 1.3 per hundred thousand, immigrants at 1.2 per 100,000. So we've imported 50,000 rapists. Explain to me how that's a good thing, right? An okay thing since the rate was a little lower. Yeah, exactly, you bald headed America hating freak.
Joe Getty
Okay, we got more coming upstairs.

Joe Getty
The possible scientific breakthrough. These extra furry rodents are called woolly mice.
Jack Armstrong
A Dallas company that works on da.
Joe Getty
Extinction genetically modified them with hair to resemble the traits of a woolly mammoth. The company says it plans to revive the actual woolly mammoth to walk the earth again as soon as 2028.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
Within three years. But there's a lot missing in that story. It sounds to me like all you did was genetically modify mice so they have woolier hair and then made the leap that you're gonna bring back the woolly mammoth.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, see, that's my problem with this whole thing. I read the long account of it yesterday. Yes, they've just bred Harry mice, which, you know, is kind of novel. They're cute, the little bastards. But. And so in reading into this, these people, what they're going to try to do is manipulate the genes of heffalumps until they look kind of like woolly mammoths.
Joe Getty
Okay, that's not the same thing, all right?
Jack Armstrong
No, it really isn't. Yeah, it's. It's phony.
Joe Getty
Now, there are projects to bring back the woolly mammoth with, like, various genetic material they have from frozen carcasses of woolly mammoths and that sort of stuff that could be, like, actually bringing back that beast. But this just harrier elephants. Yeah, Being manipulated again.
Jack Armstrong
Novel. Attractive. We got this text, would they shed or would you have to, like, send them to the groomer?
Joe Getty
So we got into the conversation about bringing back you Know, woolly mammoths and dinosaurs and all this stuff that has been talked about for a long time. Kind of Jurassic Parkish. Although the technology is coming real, we got this text. Soon AI will be clashing with dinosaurs for world domination. Yeah, it's like two different things that mankind couldn't do before, now can. And everybody's thinking, is this a good idea? But we're screaming toward it anyway.
Jack Armstrong
AI vs. The Dinosaurs, produced as like a Japanese 1950s horror flick. How good would that be?
Joe Getty
But speaking of AI, and this is minor AI if you have, I don't know, to your Google phones, Android phones have this. They probably had it a year before Apple did. But the new Apple software, it gives me suggestions for all my text responses. And I gotta say, sometimes it's really like exactly what I was gonna say. I had one of those this morning where it was like, haha, yeah, I doubt it. And I thought that's exactly how I was gonna respond. And, and, and I feel like, like there's something wrong if I just press send on the pretty close to what I was gonna say reply. I feel like I'm just opening the door to yes, what am I doing here?
Jack Armstrong
Right, right. Because what if they're reply act. That's a problem. It's just entering into that, that realm.
Joe Getty
If their reply is you're so funny or I mean, if there's ever two replies in a row that were AI and we just pressed send, now what are we doing?
Jack Armstrong
Right. That's troubling, isn't it?
Joe Getty
And, and, and I was texting somebody, I remember the other day and said, was this an AI reply? Because they heard me talking about this and they're like troubled by the idea of me sending a hi because they aren't as meaningful or real or whatever.
Jack Armstrong
But you're right, two in a row would be monstrous. Yes, yes.
Joe Getty
And very quickly could become the whole half the conversation. But so far I've not sitting there.
Jack Armstrong
Ignoring each other, letting your AIs converse.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Getting the gist of what they said. AI has a good reply. That's good enough. You press send. It's weird. There's something weird then. I haven't quite put my finger on it, but so far I have not used. I don't know, I should turn it off. I don't. Maybe there's a way to turn it off. I don't.
Jack Armstrong
Well, every great authority on philosophy, religion, you know, emotional health, says the same thing. Best to disconnect even more from your friends and loved ones. Yeah, make it even more about screens and computers. Ugh.
Joe Getty
I do like the long text summaries and email summaries that I'm getting from AI. Pretty damned helpful. A glance at my emails in the morning and it's, you know, like my son's teacher I had emailed about something it says, says, that's fine, we'll see you Sunday. You know, and they just break it down to the the main points. That's pretty cool.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe Getty
Yes, Katie. The only problem I'm seeing with that.
Jack Armstrong
For me at least, is I'm reading.
Amy Brown
Those things and I'm going, okay, and I'm not responding.
Joe Getty
Oh, right. I've done that a few times too.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, whoops. Yeah, yeah, whoops. I'm still involved in this process. So Blockbuster fourth hour of the show. Maybe you don't get the fourth hour. Grab it later via podcast. Armstrong and Getty on Demand. You probably ought to subscribe or maybe.
Joe Getty
Just have your AI listen and then you have to waste your time.
Jack Armstrong
Summarize the show for you. Right?

Jack Armstrong initiates the conversation by addressing the implications of President Trump’s negotiations under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Joe Getty: Responds with skepticism about the sustainability of ongoing negotiations, questioning if the President would continuously back down on tariff implementations [04:00].
The discussion underscores the uncertainty surrounding trade policies and their impact on USMCA-compliant goods and services.
Timestamp: [05:00] - [11:43]
The hosts transition to exploring California's fiscal challenges stemming from increased electric vehicle (EV) adoption. As consumers shift to zero-emission vehicles, gasoline tax revenues have plummeted, causing a significant shortfall in state funds.
Joe Getty: Highlights the practicality issues with EVs, such as longer charging times and limited infrastructure: “...I was at the Tesla charging thing yesterday... there's, I don't know, 15 stalls now it's regularly full and you have to wait.” [08:05]
Jack Armstrong: Critiques the environmental benefits of EVs, questioning if they are indeed the sustainable solution cities perceive them to be: “...it's absolutely not clearly an environmental win according to any sober analysis.” [09:51]
The conversation delves into how California plans to address declining gas tax revenues, including potential mileage-based taxes and increased regulation on vehicle ownership, while also critiquing the political motivations behind these policies.
Timestamp: [10:01] - [11:43]
Continuing with California's environmental policies, Jack and Joe discuss the backlash against rooftop solar installations. They explain how the state's subsidies for solar energy have inadvertently shifted costs to non-solar customers, leading to increased energy bills.
Jack Armstrong: Summarizes the situation: “California is blaming an unlikely villain for your high energy bills... it's a dramatic pivot from the state with more rooftop solar panels than any other.” [10:01]
Joe Getty: Points out the economic disparity created by these policies, emphasizing that higher-income solar customers are benefiting at the expense of others: “...Blue states all over the country have been subsidizing rooftop solar electric installation and generation.” [10:01]
The segment highlights the complexities and unintended consequences of renewable energy incentives, questioning their equity and effectiveness.
Timestamp: [12:17] - [22:07]
A significant portion of the episode centers on South Carolina's controversial plan to execute a prisoner via firing squad. Jack and Joe scrutinize the method, expressing moral and logistical concerns.
Jack Armstrong: Describes the execution protocol: “...they're gonna strap this Brad Sigmund... to a metal seat... three prison employees will be prepared to shoot Sigmund from a distance of about 15ft.” [18:03]
Joe Getty: Criticizes the inhumane aspects of this method: “I don't think it would hurt to get shot... I’d take the lethal injection over being shot.” [13:09]
The hosts debate the ethical implications, effectiveness, and public perception of reintroducing archaic execution methods, ultimately questioning the move's humanity and necessity.
Timestamp: [25:26] - [38:24]
Armstrong and Getty analyze recent House hearings targeting sanctuary cities, where mayors and city officials were scrutinized for their immigration policies. They critique the hearing’s format and the effectiveness of its outcomes.
Joe Getty: Reflects on the performative nature of the hearings: “...they’re an excellent opportunity to yell at people and be entertained.” [26:07]
Jack Armstrong: Expresses frustration with the lack of substantive dialogue: “...it's not a hearing. It's a debate.” [27:05]
The segment features a mock interrogation of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, exposing the rigidity and defensiveness of sanctuary city officials. The hosts argue that such hearings prioritize political theatrics over meaningful policy discussions, highlighting the polarized nature of immigration debates.
Timestamp: [42:06] - [46:46]
In a lighter yet thought-provoking segment, Jack and Joe discuss the integration of AI in personal communications, specifically focusing on AI-powered text suggestions on smartphones.
Joe Getty: Shares his unease with AI-generated text responses: “...I feel like I'm just opening the door to yes, what am I doing here?” [44:07]
Jack Armstrong: Adds to the concern by pondering the authenticity of conversations: “...what if their reply is you're so funny or I mean, if there's ever two replies in a row that were AI...” [44:07]
The discussion explores the implications of AI in reducing the personal effort in communication, questioning whether this trend diminishes genuine human interaction and emotional connection.
Timestamp: [42:06] - [44:07]
Touching on scientific advancements, the hosts briefly discuss a Dallas company's attempt to revive woolly mammoths through genetic modification of mice, contrasting it with broader themes of AI development.
Joe Getty: Critiques the feasibility of reviving extinct species: “...they've just bred Harry mice... it's phony.” [42:46]
Jack Armstrong: Compares the scientific ambitions to pop culture fantasies: “AI vs. The Dinosaurs, produced as like a Japanese 1950s horror flick.” [44:01]

Jack Armstrong: Encourages listeners to stay informed and engaged: “More on the way.” [47:03]
Joe Getty: Summarizes the overarching theme: “...we're screaming toward it anyway.” [44:07]
The hosts conclude by reiterating the importance of understanding the multifaceted nature of policy decisions and technological advancements.
Jack Armstrong: “It's not likely to be just the automakers... it's part of President.” [03:13]
Joe Getty: “I support investments in all residents of the people of Chicago.” [29:32]
Jack Armstrong: “A single .45 caliber slug while someone sleeps would be completely merciful...” [22:32]
Joe Getty: “I'm not going to do some horrific crime that serves the death penalty.” [14:13]
Jack Armstrong: “Al Green... was it racism? No, it wasn't. Does anybody have any other questions? It's because he's an idiot.” [25:26]
Joe Getty: “Take your seat, sir.” [25:26]
Jack Armstrong: “Simplisafe.com Armstrong claim 50 off a new system...” [35:59]
Joe Getty: “AI has a good reply. That's good enough. You press send. It's weird.” [45:43]
