• Joe: “He's almost certainly guilty of everything he's accused of. But it's extremely difficult to get a conviction on this sort of charge…” (09:44)

Summary

In this episode, Armstrong & Getty deconstruct the breaking indictment of James Comey, using it as a case study for analyzing escalating partisan "lawfare" and the breakdown of American political norms. They critique both sides of the aisle, underscore the media's role in partisan outrage cycles, and question whether any accountability will ever be truly had—while lampooning the grandiosity of figures like Jim Comey and Kamala Harris. Lighthearted asides—including party recaps, pop culture headlines, and listener mail—provide comic relief amid heavier content. The episode is essential listening for those seeking perspective (and sarcasm) on the week’s most controversial political drama.

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. Enough here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and get it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, man, I was just about to buy a bathroom vanity. Live from Studio C, a foreign one, huh? Dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. On a Friday. It's Friday and we're under the tutelage.

[Joe Getty]

Of our general manager, James Comey.

[Jack Armstrong]

Convict.

[Joe Getty]

Well, defendant.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, indictee.

[Joe Getty]

And if you indict the proverbial ham sandwich along with Comey Swiss and some nice spicy mustard on mine. Thank you.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're referencing an old saying.

[Joe Getty]

That is what you can indict a ham sandwich.

[Jack Armstrong]

And where does that. Why, why does that saying exist? I've heard that my whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Well, an indictment is. Has.

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[Joe Getty]

Has few of the elements of a trial. All you have is the prosecution trying to give the grand jury enough evidence to say, you know, we want to hold a trial and see if this guy might be guilty. And the grand jury says, yeah, go ahead if you want. And then the defense gets geared up and says, no, these charges are garbage. And then you have an actual trial. So the defense does not testify at a grand jury indictment hearing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sounds like a certain Joe Getty is standing up for the lanky law man, James Comey.

[Joe Getty]

And I wish Hillary had won. Yes, that's correct. No, it's. This kind of case is kind of difficult to prove.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let me tell you this as we'll.

[Joe Getty]

Hear from various experts. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Before you get into anything, let me tell you the mail. Let me tell you the landscape for people who don't take in lots of media. I've taken in lots of different media today. Pretty much everybody but Fox is treating this as one of the biggest things, if not the single biggest thing Trump has ever done as president. Either term. I mean, they're full on hair on fire. This is it. This is where it's crossed the line. This is the end of our democracy.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, by big you mean, like horrifying?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, yes. This is the. This is the biggest thing that has happened ever with Trump. According to, like, msnbc, that we're into completely new territory here, blah, blah, blah. I will say this. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know much about this, but I will say this.

[Joe Getty]

Fox had it.

[Jack Armstrong]

In their second segment of their first hour today on Fox and Friends, they didn't even get around to it. The first segment. They talked about legal news. They talked about how. Yes, exactly. They talked about how Trump was going to be at the Ryder cup golf tournament today and walk with the players and how cool that was and a couple other things, but they.

[Joe Getty]

Changes everything.

[Jack Armstrong]

They did not get around to the lanky lawman. So I have, I feel like if Fox thought this was a really good story for Trump, they would have not waited to the second segment to get it.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's, that's a good point. Yeah, yeah. Here, here's my reaction. Comey lies like a rug.

[Jack Armstrong]

So many questions. Standing in the woods, looking up.

[Joe Getty]

So many questions, so many lies, so many distortions, so many leaks. This, I will also say this, this prosecution is a stretch. And some of Trump's own people in the past have said, no, we don't want to do this. This is not a good idea. But he insisted as the statute of limitations approached, and I think probably it's not a good move. But here's my last reaction. Hey, Democrats, you're against lawfare.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know.

[Joe Getty]

Let me ask you again, you're against lawfare, is that right?

[Jack Armstrong]

I feel like in the intelligentia circles, anytime you bring this sort of thing up, you get accused of what about ism or all these different things? Do you not recognize everybody? We're on a trajectory. And if, if, if, if they're going to try to prosecute Trump for a gazillion different things that were completely bogus, then he's gonna do it to people. And it's just, we're just gonna keep going that direction and until, like, violence and everything else, until sides start calling out their own side. Like, if I was watching MSNBC and Joe Scarborough said we should have never tried to throw Trump in jail over the whole got a good deal on a loan thing. That was out of line and Trump shouldn't do this. I would listen to you, but since you cheered that right, and then call this the worst thing that's ever happened, it's a little hard to take.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and it doesn't mean you're in favor of what's happening now, but a, it's hard to take and be just the idea of a guy in, you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Know, a fist fight, breaking out a.

[Joe Getty]

Knife, and then the other guy breaks out a knife, and the first guy says, sweet God in heaven, he's brought out a knife.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, yes, yes, you did, too. So that's pretty Funny.

[Joe Getty]

Your full outrage and forget God's sake. Would somebody listen to us? Somebody, anybody. Well, you folks are. Thank you very much. You can't do stuff that changes norms that then you will say is abhorrent when your opponent does the same. Stop it. Stop it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Good Lord. A knife.

[Joe Getty]

How dare you, sir?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the UN right now, he's got a map out and I have a feeling he's going to lay the wood to them with. What are you talking about? A Palestinian state? What are you even talking about?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, phony, phony. Yes, we'll have some, that is, we'll.

[Jack Armstrong]

Have some highlights of that later. Back to the James Comey thing because this is going to be the dominant media's only story for today and maybe for some time to come. Andrew McCarthy of the National Review, who many people who lean right, including Fox News, tend to listen to his headline. I haven't read the whole article. Is another ill advised indictment. He's not a fan of this, apparently.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think Comey, absolutely. He got that Steele dossier into the record and into the whole bloodstream of the Justice Department and everything. Like knowing it was crap and just, and leaked it on purpose. And Andrew McCabe testified that the old FBI director and nobody's, no, nothing's going to be proven. Comey's not going to jail.

[Joe Getty]

No, but that's what happened. He's, he's almost certainly guilty of everything he's accused of. But it's extremely difficult to get a conviction on this sort of charge, which we'll describe later on and have legal experts who know what they're talking about describe. Yeah, I just, it's just one more step down the road of ugly. You know, I get Trump's utter bitterness about his opponents at this point and how advisors, and there are several of his high level advisors who are telling him, no, don't take the bait. Take the high road. Stay on the high road. And Trump saying, f the high road. I've been taking this stuff for what? When did he come down the escalator? A decade ago.

[Jack Armstrong]

June 2015.

[Joe Getty]

Thank you. And he's like, no, no, no, nobody's been on the high road for ages. It's like an abandoned railroad track. Stop it with that. I'm getting on the low road and I'm gonna punch him in the mouth a little bit.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, by the way, to my opening comment of I was just about to buy a vanity. Trump announced a bunch of new tariffs on a variety of things, big trucks of some Kind and vanities. Bathroom vanities for some reason.

[Joe Getty]

And the pharmaceuticals. But there are lots of carve outs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, a bunch of different things. We'll hit you with that list coming up. A little bit later. We had a big soiree last night. Radio soiree. You were there, Michelangelo.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, yes, I was.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it was quite the party. We were all there.

[Joe Getty]

I could not make it. I was unavoidably detained.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was a big radio get together with clients and whatnot at a fancy restaurant with food and, you know, the kind of food where you stand up with a little tiny plate and that people carry it around, say, would you like to try the blah, blah, blah. And then you stand there and you try to talk to people while you're eating really tiny food with your hands.

[Joe Getty]

Without spitting on them.

[Jack Armstrong]

And then you get stuff all over your fingers and people wants to shake hands. One of them. Yeah, one of those kind of deals. But the food is fantastic.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you have the short rib tacos, Michael?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, I had a bunch of them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Damn good.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God, that was good stuff. I remember when we could afford long rib tacos, but those days are gone.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I know. Thank you, Biden.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, this is Joe Biden's America Tacos.

[Jack Armstrong]

Made with short little ribs.

[Joe Getty]

Any little ribs.

[Jack Armstrong]

I had a point with the party last night. Oh. Lots of standing around smiling, working on my new face, my new pleasant face. So I don't look like I want.

[Joe Getty]

To raise your eyebrows just a little bit, as if you expect to hear something interesting.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't. I don't expect to hear anything.

[Joe Getty]

Well, that you're faking it. That's the point.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can only go so far.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I thought you did good, Jack.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thank you. Thank you very much, Michael.

[Joe Getty]

Nice. No, as far as your resting face, it was very good.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was the most dressed up person there, I think, outside the women. I wore a snazzy suit. Our top sales guy didn't even tuck in his shirt.

[Joe Getty]

And he's.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's so far the top salesperson. He doesn't have to. He just. He can just do whatever he wants.

[Joe Getty]

Showed up dresser. Was it like an untucked shirt designed to be untucked?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know, but it just. He didn't care. Trust me. He didn't put any thought in with. He did not care. He doesn't need to care. He's got. He's got. He's got that sort of leverage.

[Joe Getty]

Ah, good man.

[Jack Armstrong]

Me, on the other hand, clinging to a mediocre career. I had to get all dressed up hoping people would respect me.

[Joe Getty]

Just trying to run out the strike.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just trying to run out the clock. Okay, we got 80s headlines on the way. We'll get into some of the news. We are not going to forget clips of the week today. We just will not. All of that is coming up. Stay here.

I am Joe Biden. Dementia has set in. I have forgotten to start the show officially. I think twice in the last. I don't know, both have been this week. Yeah, I just. I don't know what's going on there.

[Joe Getty]

Outrageous. And where's the buzzer for that? Michael, this is the media bias you hear about. When I screw up, I get the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Buzzer good and loud, and it's fun.

[Joe Getty]

Jack drops a. Jack drops the ball and nothing. Kid gloves. You're like the New York Times with Democrats. Michael, I'm with Joe. Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now on, you get the buzzer.

[Joe Getty]

Knew I could count on you. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

From now on, if I signal to break without starting the show officially, full buzzer and mockery and all the mockery that comes with it.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Where's Joe's retribution?

[Joe Getty]

Exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Retribution.

[Joe Getty]

Prosecute you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

All right, here.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Jo Getti on this. It is Friday, September 26th, the year 2025. We're Armstrong and. Get in. We approve of this program.

[Joe Getty]

Let's begin the show officially. Now, according to FCC rules, rags at. Mark, my heart is broken for the Department of Justice.

[Jack Armstrong]

Shut up.

[Joe Getty]

But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith. Oh, so we gotta play more of.

[Jack Armstrong]

That because it's classic Comey. It's so over the top. I will not go. I will not live on my knees, and neither should you. What the frig are you talking about? This is what. And then we'll get to the headlines. This is what Mark Halperin wrote today. He said, I have long been mystified at the deification of Jim Comey, a man whose public actions and statements have been put in sharp relief. What a complete unprincipled phony. And liar he is. Well.

[Joe Getty]

And if you were trying to do a comedy skit where you like parody how pompous and self righteous he is, you couldn't do it. You couldn't parody it. You can't out Comey Comey.

[Jack Armstrong]

But Mark Halpern, who tries really hard to be nonpartisan, said jim Comey is a complete phony and liar. You know why? Because he's a complete phony and liar.

[Joe Getty]

And everybody knows it. Yeah. Yes, Everybody knows.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

All right, let's figure out more on that to come. We have expert legal commentators weighing in on the topic. So you will know much more than your friends and neighbors and co workers if you stay tuned. But first, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Katie, Just along with our opening clip from abc, former FBI director James Comey posts video after indictment. I am innocent.

[Jack Armstrong]

And if you've ever wanted to see what it looks like when somebody's hair is on fire, flip over to MSNBC at some point today they are treating this like the worst thing that has happened in Trump's presidency that he's ever done. And they stated that.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

This from the free Beacon NBC said ICE held a five year old autistic girl to pressure her father to surrender. He actually abandoned her wife while fleeing from law enforcement.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those are two different versions of a story. Wow.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

And that false version started with Representative Ilhan Omar.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, Ilhan Omar. Yeah. We've got a great Ilhan Omar clip coming up, by the way. Very amusing. Yeah, Just complete propaganda from NBC who quietly corrected it. But finally, unbelievable from the Washington Post.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Trump announces new tariffs on, quote, big trucks, furniture and pharmaceuticals and vanities.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was gonna buy a bathroom. I was gonna buy a bathroom vanity today. Actually I planned it for September 26th and unfortunately my timing was bad.

[Joe Getty]

Now you gotta keep brushing your teeth in the toilet. Geez. Thanks Trump.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From the New York Times, Israel is continuing to find flatten parts of Gaza City.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it is not getting as much attention as I thought it would be because we got so many big stories going on domestically.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. I was going to say it's the usual suspects saying the usual things with the usual flaws in their reasoning. And I think people are just tired of it. But that's a factor too.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From NBC News, Amazon to pay $2.55 billion to settle FTC allegations that it duped customers into enrolling in Prime.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we talked about this yesterday and one of the parts of the penalty that they're paying. This biggest penalty anybody's ever had to pay is that they made it impossible to cancel your prime subscription. I want this to scare other companies who make it impossible to cancel your. Your. One of your cell phones you got or you know, your gym membership or whatever the heck you've signed up for. And they make it impossible to cancel.

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah. I know this is crazy for a small government guy like me to. To advocate, but we need a department of canceling stuff. And it might just be like 20 people who open subscriptions to gyms and Amazon prime and cable packages or whatever and then try to cancel them. And if they run into any headwind whatsoever, the full force of the federal government comes down on that company National.

[Jack Armstrong]

Guard in their front lobby.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I love that idea.

[Jack Armstrong]

Cancel. Yeah.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From the Wall Street Journal, Hegseth orders top US Military officers to Washington for mystery meeting.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do we know why yet?

[Joe Getty]

I have a theory.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay. Joe's theory that, that we have to wait till Thursday. The Thursday theory.

[Joe Getty]

Joe's Thursday theory. We gotta wait a week. Nobody's gonna care. They'll have had the meeting. I demand a second theory.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From USA Today. William Shatner pokes fun at hospitalization reports saying quote, don't trust tabloids or AI. Did you see this story?

[Joe Getty]

No.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

It was everywhere. That 94 year old William Shatner rushed to hospital after medical emergency. And it was on all the websites and it was, it was fake.

[Jack Armstrong]

And he wasn't.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

No, he was fine.

[Jack Armstrong]

He got somebody.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

There was.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, there was like an.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Apparently an AI picture of him being wheeled out and all of it.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my gosh.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, he is suffering from space chlamydia that he got from one of those hot alien chicks.

[Joe Getty]

The green chick. Yeah. If there are humans more comfortable in their own skin than Bill Shatner, it is a short list.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, he's enjoyed life a lot.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I'm such a Bill Shatner fan.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From the New York Shout out.

[Joe Getty]

Bill, if you're listening. We've chatted with Bill three years and just a. Just a really, really likable guy. Hope you're well float villa.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

From the New York Post, Greta Thunberg's flotilla radio hacked to blast ABBA music in Javid. Activist or porn ABBA dancing queen.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Oh, okay, little gimme, gimme, gimme.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, I'm a fan. All right.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Finally, from the Babylon Be. Kamala's audiobook lets you pick which accent you want to hear for each chapter.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's pretty funny. So Joe's got a the why Hegseth demanded all the generals show up. We also talk a little more about the Comey indictment, which is either the biggest thing ever or not. I don't know. We'll figure that out and clips of.

Hi, I'm William Shatner. I have searched earnestly and desperately for intelligence and perception in the universe, and I have it everywhere except here on Armstrong and Getty. Thank you. James Tiberius Kirk, who is not in hospital. He is not sick. It was an Internet rumor yesterday. I just had an idea. Hanson executive producer, who is posted on a picture with the rest of the everybody on Twitter last night from our party. We need some drops from the Comey Instagram video he put out. I want to hear. I believe in the Justice Department. I will not live on my knees. You know, just some of that stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Is my heart is broken.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right. His over the top ridiculousness. He's one of the most annoying human beings in America. And I think everybody agrees with that, like left, right and center.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but it's funny. Depending on who is besetting Comey or angry at him at any given moment, the other side rushes to his defense like he's a paragon. Wait a minute. You said he was Satan like last week. Oh, my gosh. Our politics are broken. What are you going to do? We're going to do this. We're going to take a fond look back at the week that was. It's cow clips of the.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so on that terrible day, September 10, 2025, our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

He wanted to save young men just.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like the one who took his life.

[Joe Getty]

It is better to face a gunman than to live your life afraid to speak the truth.

[Jack Armstrong]

That man, that young man, I forgive him. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erica. If you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do, there it was. That's. That's it. A selfless act of grace. President Trump saying that Ukraine, with NATO's help, might be able to win back land taken by Russia. Are you surprised to hear that? A little bit.

[News Reporter / Segment Host]

Do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian Aircraft if they enter their airspace.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, I do.

[Joe Getty]

The Finnish answer is to be cool, calm and collected. Take a sauna, take a nice bath and then take the right action.

[Jack Armstrong]

Don't take Tylenol. There's no downside. Don't take it.

[Joe Getty]

I fear that we will not have an election in 2028.

[Jack Armstrong]

I really mean that.

[Joe Getty]

When Democrats like Gavin Newsom, what they're doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence.

[Jack Armstrong]

Unless the rhetoric stops.

[Joe Getty]

It's not over. And it's just. It's scary, you know, and maybe I was being too cautious with a great deal of sadness about also the fact. What?

[Annabe Sofa Advertiser]

That it might have been a risk.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's look on merit.

[Joe Getty]

And I can tell you, on merit, he's a failure. And on merit, she's a failure.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true. I've been right about everything. Everything. All of these predictions that were made by stupid people. The wind doesn't blow. I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. These are the two things I got from the United Nations. A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much. Yeah, Trump gets talked about so much and too much. But I heard a good back to back earlier this week somewhere, long clips of Charlie Kirk's wife and her amazing, moving speech that was not about politics. It was all about redemption and Jesus and forgiveness and all that sort of stuff. Back to back with Trump. You know what? I hate my enemies. I hate them. I know I shouldn't, but I do. Maybe you can talk to me, Erica. But I hate him. I hate him and I want him to fail. And that is one of the. I mean, nobody, no other politician in the history of America would have gone on that stage after her speech and said that. And it worked for him.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

It made him bigger, stronger in his own crowd. I mean, it's just, he just, he. That is an amazing political trick.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, you're right. It's completely unique. And yeah. On the other hand, I would like to submit to you that Kamala Harris is the most consistently entertaining entertainer in the history of the world. More consistent than the Beatles, Jerry Seinfeld.

[Jack Armstrong]

He'd have to have a bracket and it'd come down with different entertainers and he'd have Kamala Harris versus Frank Sinatra and everybody Vote right.

[Joe Getty]

Frank had his off moments, put out a couple albums that were a little bit flat. But Kamala never fails to entertain Come on now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Her parenthetical speaking is just, wow, it's amazing somebody can't fix that for her.

[Joe Getty]

Come for the gobbledy, stay for the gook.

[Jack Armstrong]

So what is. I want to hear. I actually want to hear this. What's your theory on why Pete Hegseth, Secretary of WAR I keep forgetting to say that because that's actually what it. Well, it's not actually what it is now. It's what the sign says on his door. But. But Congress hasn't actually approved it yet. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, called all the generals and admirals and everybody together and with no revealing why.

[Joe Getty]

So why?

[Jack Armstrong]

What happened?

[Joe Getty]

Escape room party. Everybody says, I don't want to do that, but when they get there, they have a great time. So that's my theory. Escape room party.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's a gift bag at the end, right?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. It's fun. It really is fun. No, the theories are either unveiling a big new national defense strategy, emphasizing the Western hemisphere, that whole spheres of influence, a giant master plan. We've been discussing that. Trump at times seems like he's leaning toward. And some people think it's just going to be some sort of big overhaul of the Pentagon in some way. But no, nobody. Nobody knows. In fact, the theories are just theories. I haven't even seen any decent leaks.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of the. You'd think there would be leaks. One of the thinkers at the party last night was speculating that it was to frighten Russia, although unless it's coordinated with the timing of something else, I don't know why it would have any effect.

[Joe Getty]

Putin hasn't been afraid of anything but Covid since he was 11 years old. He's the Iceman. It'll be interesting to see. I hope it's, you know, biggish. If you're like, you know, running the 7th Fleet way the hell out in the Pacific and you're told you got to be in Washington Tuesday. That's. That's a, That's a big deal. And we have many, many generals and admirals around the world. I don't know what the total number is. Have you heard?

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[Joe Getty]

How many people?

[Jack Armstrong]

This is. No.

[Joe Getty]

Hell of a lot.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I don't know how to handle the whole James Comey thing. I think it's just from the legal experts that I read that are conservatives, that just from a law standpoint, it's not likely to get a conviction. From a. Don't cry any tears. From Comey standpoint, though, there's a lot there. Oh, yeah, Mark Halperin in his newsletter today, talking about everything that has happened throughout the however many years with Trump and the back and forth in the legal department and all that. And he said, and where was James Comey? Floating above it all, halo polished by podcasts and cable hits, framed as the dutiful Boy Scout against the orange menace. The irony writes itself. The public sees the clerisy protect its own, and they start to want, yes, a pound of flesh, not tortures and pitchforks. Lawful accountability hearings with teeth, Inspectors general with bite. Pfizer reforms that don't evaporate at cocktail hour, naming names, mapping processes, clawing back authorities the bureaucracy assumed was theirs by birthright. And he goes through all the, you know, clearly lying to the FISA court about getting warrants to be able to search various people leaking the steel dossier. So then he could say, there are reports out there, Mr. President, I need to tell you. Yeah, there are reports out there because you leaked them. I mean, the whole thing is so flipping phony, and he's never had to pay a price for it.

[Joe Getty]

Who was, who were you quoting just then?

[Jack Armstrong]

Mark Halpern's writing.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's really good. That's really good writing. Yeah, I would agree. It's, you know, this is mostly exhausting to me in that, first of all, you have the never ending. When one side pushes the. The bounds of any sort of restraint in the executive branch, you have the other side saying, oh, my God, it's horrible. And then they switch sides and the other side pushes the bounds of what the executive ought to be doing. They say, this is good. And just the other side says, oh, my God, that's horrible. Or they switch again and the roles are reversed and it keeps moving in the same way.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, well, we. We say this is good and just because. Look, what last time. Which is true. But we end up in a race to the bottom, as I keep saying. We just. We just go further down the road of no norms and, and discourse. That's just. You're an effing liar. No, you're an effing liar.

[Joe Getty]

Right. And in the past, the idea that. And a lot of people are saying this with a perfectly straight face, and I would hope this is the sort of thing you. You come to us for. Not quit with the old, you know, cliched half lies. I just, I don't have any patience for them anymore. For instance, the idea that there is a high wall of separation between the Oval Office and the Department of Justice. That's half true. It reminds me of Speed limits it says 70 so you don't go a hundred but everybody's going 75 to 80. To 85. Whatever you say there's a separation between the President and the Justice Department so things don't get too obvious and too over the top. Like I don't know, prosecuting your enemies cuz you're off at them. But it happens, but it's kept within a certain level of lawlessness. This is a step toward. No, you're just your, your job is to, to prosecute and, or persecute depending on your point of view. My opponents. Now go do it. And if you won't like the guy in the Eastern district of Virginia, if you won't, I'll fire you and get somebody who will.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right or not prosecute my friends or family. In the case of Hunter Biden and you had people, you know, whistleblowers in the Justice Department saying in any other case we would have done this but we didn't hear right.

[Joe Getty]

There are lots and lots of examples for it. As you often say Jack, until you're calling out your own side, save your crocodile tears. It doesn't help. So here's a practical. This is a life hack, ironically cuz it's like anti hacking. TransUnion just confirmed a breach. Over 4 million people affected. That's a wake up call for you friends. These breaches happen a lot. That's why we strongly suggest you use Webroot Total Protection. It's not just antivirus, it's identity protection for up to 10 people. Dark Web monitoring, up to a million bucks in fraud, expense reimbursement.

[Jack Armstrong]

A lot more companies get hacked then your information is out there. You know Webroot, they actually scan the dark web looking for your info to see if it's out there and can help you out with that, which is pretty, pretty cool. Webroot Total protection, Identity protection for up to 10 people, dark web monitoring as I said and up to a million dollars in fraud, expense reimbursement, plus 24.

[Joe Getty]

7 US based support, elder fraud hotline, VPN, cloud backup, antivirus, the whole package. And it's much more efficient than the a lot of the other guys. It runs a lot faster. Get 50 off webroot total protection or webroot [e-mail] Armstrong that's webroot.com Armstrong One more time. Webroot.com Armstrong Looking at our picture from.

[Jack Armstrong]

The party last night that I posted. You know what most people commented about you Michael?

[Joe Getty]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

How thin you look.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Congratulations on your thinness.

[Joe Getty]

Thank you. And then there's that's out of necessity, out of health.

[Jack Armstrong]

There was a fair amount of how old some of us look. But what are you going to do about that?

[Joe Getty]

Hansen? Can you take that down and Photoshop me into it? I don't want rumors to start that, you know, I'm, I'm like dead. Like Paul McCartney's second Beatles reference of the half hour.

[Jack Armstrong]

I remember the last party similar to this. I wasn't there because I had covet. Remember that?

[Joe Getty]

Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So there are a bunch of pictures floating around where I wasn't there as I was on my, my db, my deathbed. We've got mailbag on the way and a bunch more news of the day that we've got to get to stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just spoke at the UN. He had set up giant loudspeakers around Gaza City blasting his speech in to hopefully be heard by other Palestinians and the hostages, he said. Which is an interesting plan.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah. Indeed. More on that to come. Plus we have promised a couple of times and will pay off. Next hour, various thinkers and sages and experts talking about the indictment of James Comey and what it means and how likely it is to succeed and the sins of Comey. And just good. Imagine this. We'll bring you all sides of the story and of the question so you understand what's going on. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day from writer Brendan o', Neill, who wrote a piece recently about what he characterized as Britain's working class uprising. I was talking about this a little bit yesterday, how the ruling class in Britain, which is the protected class, it can unleash all sorts of policies on the country that it never feels. It's not living next to some migrant hotel where rape gangs are victimizing their daughters and on and on the whole bizarro queer thing. There are no men in their wives dressing rooms anyway, he writes. I wonder if it is the destiny of the English to do with peaceful protest what Donald Trump has done with executive orders. Push out all the destructive eccentricity that has self identified his wisdom these past few years. There's a brilliant gender critical group called Sex Matters. To that we might now add borders matter and sovereignty matters and communities matter. That's what I hear working class communities saying right now to their too often often indifferent superiors, we matter.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, that's why I know you don't pay attention to this and why would you? But British politics. It's expected that the Reform Party is going to win the next election and and have a Prime Minister from their party, probably that Nigel Lafarge defarge and that's a huge deal. That'd be like a third party winning in the United States.

[Joe Getty]

Which is why the left is so desperate to let children vote because that might usher in the far left party, Left Labor. I mean. Oh, ugliness. Mailbag Drop us a note mailbagarmstrongetti.com here's your meme of the day, sent along by somebody or other. It's Obama throwing his head back and laughing. And the caption is when you preach climate change, income inequality and racism are America's biggest problems, yet you buy a 1518 million dollar mansion on the water in an all white neighborhood. Yeah boy. Yeah. How about this? On the topic of TMJ's trained monkey jobs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trained monkey jobs came up at the party last night. Everybody was discussing what job have you had that a somewhat trained monkey could have done when you were younger?

[Joe Getty]

Right? We got a number of responses. I like this one from Jeff Listener from day one. Thanks Jeff. Jeff Guys, unloading rocks from a semi, pick up a rock, walk to the opening, toss the rock out, repeat for six hours.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, I had that kind of job too. And seriously, a monkey could do it. In fact, the monkey would might say this is beneath me and swing away on the branches.

[Joe Getty]

Yes, yes, if it had any sense. Al Anonymous Writing on the topic of this was part of the Armstrong and Getty One More Thing podcast from yesterday talking about different ways to achieve sobriety, among other topics topics and he says My wife has been using naltrexone for quite a while now. It's been extremely helpful. It essentially blocks the dopamine hit you get from either drinking or opioids, and it makes the experience of intoxication simply a physical chore, not an enjoyable experience from the outside. It seems to have simply helped her rewire her emotional relationship with alcohol no longer fixes bad feelings, doesn't make the party more lively, and drinking out of boredom is just an immediate nap.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you take it every day or do you?

[Joe Getty]

Is it a that that doesn't make that clear? Signs off this is where I'd like to insert some astute observation about the human condition, but it's late and I'm dumb.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just wonder because I keep thinking about my sugar thing. Since I can't taste sugar that makes me want to eat more sugar. I wish I could find a way around that.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, interesting. We talked about that too, Tom and SoCal writes guys, Kamala Harris's book tour comments or just reinforcing her lack of qualifications to hold most any job?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, please.

[Joe Getty]

The presidency. No individual thought excuse after excuse, general lack of awareness and leadership. Not to mention the insult that Americans would never accept a black woman running with a gay man. We don't care. What we care about at this stage after enduring the Biden Harris regime, the corruption and the damage done is that all political parties pick qualified Americans qualified regardless of race, sex, sexual preference or whatever new category you come up with. Next, next, next time. Enough racism, sexism, misogyny. No, you weren't qualified and it was blatantly obvious.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if she knows it yet, but her book tour this week I think killed any chance of her being able to run for President. She put the final nail in the coffin of her political career.

[Joe Getty]

It's hilarious to me that anybody who thought that those hopes were alive in a real way, but if they were, you're right. This ended it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wild, huh? You put out a book hoping to run for president and it ends your political career. We got a lot more on the way. If you miss a segment or an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty.
