Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Michaelangelo
President Donald Trump is currently meeting with the leaders of the G7, all our allies about the Middle east and where things are there. Benjamin, yet not met. The guy who is currently prime minister of Israel said that Trump is Iran's number one enemy, which might be true, certainly if Trump gave the go ahead or gives the go ahead, that could destroy Iran. And if it had been a different president, not so much, probably.
Joe Getty
What do you think their strategy is in making that statement? It's for somebody I don't know to discredit any turn toward regime change if the US Even winks in that direction.
Michaelangelo
Hmm. I don't know.
Joe Getty
I mean, surely they're not trying. Maybe the mullahs think if they can provoke Trump into actively joining the attack. Mike Lyons, our friend, suggested it was almost an aside, but he said it will take B2 bombers and bunker busters to really take out the Fordo nuclear enrichment site. And he expects that to happen. Is it trying to provoke Trump into doing something so the Arab world rises up against Satan?
Michaelangelo
Good luck with that. That's a poor plan.
Joe Getty
Yeah, agreed.
Michaelangelo
Benjamin Netanyahu is the current prime minister of Israel and he sat down with Brett Bear of Fox on a Sunday yesterday afternoon. And I said this, which I always raised both my eyebrows high up on my forehead. Do you have intel that the assassination attempts on President Trump were directly from Iran through proxies? Yes. Through their intel? Yes. They want to kill him. Look, he's enemy number one. He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with him in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars. He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed the Qasem Soleimani, he said, made it very clear, including now, it was a part before the beginning there. That was the important part there in that Bret Baier asked Bibi Netanyahu about Iran's attitude toward the United States and everything. And Benjamin Netanyahu listed off a bunch of things, including saying they tried to assassinate Donald Trump twice. They've been firing, you know, aiding the Houthis and the. And then Brett Bear said you have information that Iran was behind the two assassination attempts. And then BB Kind of fudged on the next part where he says they, they, they announced that they wanted him dead. Yes. Okay. No, no, no. You just listed in the list of things that they've done that they tried to kill Trump twice.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And then. Yeah. Speaking of fudging, I think I hear what you're driving at because Brett wasn't specific about the two actual assassination attempts in his follow up question.
Michaelangelo
Right.
Joe Getty
But there were Iranian plots to assassinate Trump.
Michaelangelo
Absolutely.
Joe Getty
And I think Bibi was referring to those and didn't hate it a bit.
Michaelangelo
Well, we don't have the.
Joe Getty
Kind of sounded like he also meant the geek on the roof and the guy crouching in the bushes. He was fine with it.
Michaelangelo
I don't think he was just insinuating. I think he flat out stated it. We don't have that part of the clip. But him just saying they tried to kill Trump twice. I think he absolutely wanted that to land with people thinking that Iran was behind those two assassination attempts, which is just not true. So this would be another one of those examples of, I'm on your side. Don't exaggerate things because it allows people on the other side to knock down everything else.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Don't gild the lily, as they say. Don't try to make something strong so perfect that you ruin it. Yeah. Just. Yeah. You can say there were plots behind the scenes to kill Trump. They were absolutely involved in those. The, the guy on the roof. I have no idea.
Michaelangelo
I thought this was very interesting to the whole. We talk about this all time.
Joe Getty
Although obviously, I'm sorry. BB is clearly trying any way he can to whip Trump up against Iran if he can.
Michaelangelo
Sure. Article in Politico. This guy Matthias Dor, who I don't know, called on the west to exercise moral clarity amid the unfolding war between Israel and Iran, saying when a society can no longer distinguish between good and evil, between victim and perpetrator, it gives up. He wrote, this dynamic is one of the great constants of human history. It's a lesson people in free societies and people in totalitarian societies who yearn to be free should keep in mind during the climatic showdown, climactic showdown between underway in the Middle east right now, blah, blah, blah. It's also a central front in a global contest in which the forces of tyranny and violence in recent years have been gaining ground against the forces of freedom, which too often are demoralized and divided. He's talking about the whole oppressor, oppressed thing where people in free societies jump on the side of the oppressed, no matter how evil they are, and are critical of the side of freedom for no good reason other than this weird belief that whoever's got the power must be bad and whoever's weaker must be good. Yeah, he goes on.
Joe Getty
Philosophy unspeakably idiotic.
Michaelangelo
He goes on and I thought this was good. Consider the regime that Israel is fighting in Iran. Women are systematically oppressed and abused. Homosexuals are murdered. Those who think differently are imprisoned and tortured. If the perpetrator. Victim reversal that has been repeatedly observed since October 7th applies even in the most obvious case here with Iran, then this can only be interpreted to mean that we are in the process of losing the world culture war, which in reality has long since become a war of civilizations. I don't think that overstates it at all. This is a worldwide culture war, therefore a war of civilizations. And we're divided and that we have, you know, college campuses full of people who think we're the bad guys and Iran's the. The oppressed.
Joe Getty
Right.
Michaelangelo
That's so nuts.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it is. It absolutely is. That's why I'm so adamant about this stuff. A, it's utter, utter stupidity and B, how important it all is. The, the whole now we're fine or a superpower will always be fine. Oh my God. That's how superpowers go away. There are evildoers of all sorts of descriptions plotting our demise and actively pursuing it as we speak. Always have been, always will be the, the naive comfort of some of the so called woke. Right. Thinking that if we withdraw from prosecuting the case for democracy, and I'm not talking about some sort of, you know, trying to install a Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq. I'm talking about just defending the Western world, the free world. If we stop that for a minute, they think it'll lead to a peaceful, prosperous. You mind your business, we'll mind our business. Wow. Wow. Okay. For the first time in human history.
Michaelangelo
And Rand Paul on, I think it was Meet the Press yesterday, saying this was an, this is an unjust war. Preemptive or preventative wars are unjust wars, which is crazy. You're gonna let your opponent who's been vowing to kill you get the worst weapon men have ever developed, at which.
Joe Getty
Point you can't stop them short of a nuclear holocaust.
Michaelangelo
Right. That's so crazy. I can't believe anybody so smart can have that point of view, but lots of you do. It's nuts to me.
Joe Getty
It reminds me of the horrors of in Afghanistan, our, you know, Marines and infantrymen, special forces were told, hey, you can't like preemptively attack. You gotta wait till the barrels of their guns are pointing right at you. That's your new rules of engagement. Horrifying.
Michaelangelo
Anyway, before we take a break and move on to something else, do you think Iran gets the bomb?
Joe Getty
No.
Michaelangelo
Yeah, that's interesting. I was just reading Mark Halperin's piece and he stated his reading of Trump and people who know Trump and are reporting to him on behind the scenes conversations is one thing Trump is adamant about. This isn't like tariffs or something like that. He's adamant about he is not going to allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
Joe Getty
Right, Right.
Michaelangelo
And won't budge on that. So at some point maybe we are like you were talking about Mike Lyons on our show. Our to get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on Demand believes we will be helping with our bunker busters take out Fordo that last, hopefully last nuclear site.
Joe Getty
Buried under a mountain. My favorite detail is that they have no long corridors. They're built at right angles at least to contain a blast energy.
Michaelangelo
Yeah.
Joe Getty
How cautious they are about being blasted out of existence.
Michaelangelo
Yeah. I have a report on how far along that project has gone from satellite imagery, but we can get to that a little bit later. We got other stuff to talk about too.
Joe Getty
In the mood for a jarringly idiotic.
Michaelangelo
Transition now or next?
Joe Getty
Right now.
Michaelangelo
Okay, let me get my feet at shoulder width. Okay, I'm on the ball.
Joe Getty
Get ready to go to break.
Michaelangelo
I'm on the balls of my feet. I'm bouncing. I'm ready to go.
Joe Getty
Enough nuclear holocaust talk, Jack. Coming up next, it's getting pricier to fly with your pet.
Michaelangelo
Oh my God.
Joe Getty
Oh my God.
Michaelangelo
Okay, that's stupidity and other stuff on the way.

Joe Getty
Welcome to la where something is always on fire. Yes, we've had a little unrest. Here's how super dangerous this situation is within the area where it's happening. A little curfew area a few blocks the LA Opera is located and they're still going on. Rigoletto is still playing there. So little tip, if you're planning on looting, wear a tuxedo.
Jack Armstrong
Okay?
Joe Getty
This is, this is such a minor crisis. Mayor Bass didn't even leave town.
Michaelangelo
And the crowd, the LA crowd laughing at that. Two, two breaking news things. Don't have to dwell on them because Joe has other stuff. Iran has just announced they're they're about to launch the biggest attack against Israel ever. I don't know why you announced that ahead of time, so I doubt. Makes me skeptical. But this, everybody's reporting this now. Iran is pushing to halt the fighting and return to nuclear negotiations. They're saying we want to go back to negotiations.
Joe Getty
That's why you would announce you're about to launch the biggest talk attack ever.
Michaelangelo
Got. Gotcha.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah, we're serious now. Let's have some meetings or something. We'll bring the food. Yeah, Israel. To which Israel will say, yeah, no. And we're not going to dwell. But as I said earlier, October 7 showed Israel the flu, the fruits of negotiating and living peacefully side by side with Islamists who vow to wipe them off the map. Moving along, I thought this was interesting. A plane crashed in. Oh, several stories about aviation back to back to back. A plane crashed in India and everyone blamed Boeing. But it's not so simple, writes Joan Ocera for the Free Press. Essentially he reached out to a bunch of different aviation experts and said, is this another Boeing screw up? And he could not find a single one of them to say yes. They all said it's a great airplane and we need to investigate because something weird happened. And they also made the point that I tell you what, once you lose your reputation, this is true for human beings too. Kids, take it from your old Uncle Joe. Reputation takes a lifetime to build in a minute to destroy. Once you've lost your reputation, it is so hard to get it back, back. I certainly hope for Boeing that's the case, that it wasn't a problem with the aircraft. It's an important American corporation.
Michaelangelo
You don't think with a company you can like clean house, get all new people and people you know will come back fairly quickly.
Joe Getty
Not with airplanes. Just as the turnaround. It's not like, you know, Judy and I had this sushi place we went to occasionally and it just last couple meals. Disappointed, they went under new management, redecorated place is great. Now it's harder to turn around Boeing than a strip mall sushi place. Anyway, moving along, this got almost no attention. It happened last week. Ukraine's F16 took down a Russian fighter jet in a historic first. An F16 fighter jet given to Ukraine reportedly shot down an advanced Russian plane thanks to the assistance of a Swedish reconnaissance airplane. Probably downed a Russian Su35 jet. These are the airplanes that Ukraine was begging for. And a number of folks, including people we are close to, said, no, there's no point in getting those to Ukraine. It would take a year to train the pilots. Yeah, well, here we are three and a half years later. Anyway, well done, Ukraine. It's getting harder and pricier to fly with your pet.
Katie Greene
Good.
Michaelangelo
Make it impossible. You do not need to fly with your pet.
Joe Getty
Wow. I was going to take a much more conciliatory attitude about different people having different beliefs and relationships.
Michaelangelo
No.
Joe Getty
That sort of thing. No, says Jack. Apparently it's much, much more expensive. The rules are much more strictly enforced and sometimes you read the, the airplane, the airplane, the airline rules online. You think, okay, good to go. Then you get to the airport and they say, yeah, no, those rules are out of date. Here's what you need to do. And you haven't done it. So you and your dog get, get. You can fly. Your dog can't turn it loose in the terminal. Let's. Is there any facts we need? Yeah, just. It's more difficult, more expensive.
Michaelangelo
Well, it was more difficult. Apparently. It was. There was no barrier whatsoever a couple of years ago.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah.
Michaelangelo
Let's see.
Joe Getty
The transportation department banned emotional support animals in 2021 after a surge of incidents. Barking, biting, pooping. The only animals allowed in the cabin now are service animals with proper documentation, small pets and approved carriers that fit under the seats. And they all have fine print that you better read or they will turn you and your precious pooch away. And thank goodness for it as a Lincoln file. I was somewhat excited by this. A copy of the 13th Amendment. Like a copy at the time, a contemporary copy is going on auction. They think it could fetch $8 million. The 1863 proclamation originally signed by Lincoln issued during Civil War and declared all enslaved people in the Confederate states would be set free. The minimum is 3 million. They think it could go for 8.
Michaelangelo
That's pretty cool.
Joe Getty
And then they go into the history of this stuff. I wish I had a little more time, but the copy of the US Constitution sold the billionaire Ken Griffin for more than $43 million in 2021. And I can't. He bought it or the person who sold it. Prior to that it was like 7 million or 6 million. Interestingly enough, Lincoln stuff is crazy hot. Jefferson stuff has declined in value.
Michaelangelo
Has its own market.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. There seems to be passion for it. Washington stuff is not on the increase. It's just a stable market.
Michaelangelo
Yesterday was the anniversary of two very, very big deals. We can tell you about that coming up. How much damage has Israel done to Fordo that big underground nuclear facility? That might be the thing that is going to hold up this war ending. Got the latest on that also, so a bunch of stuff on the way. Hope you can stay here.

This moment, there are no direct American strikes against Iran. And that includes critically, the deep underground nuclear facilities they have under a mountain at Fordo. And you can't stop Iran from going nuclear, which they could do within a few months unless you hit those sites. That's why Israel is so set upon getting the Americans directly involved.
Joe Getty
As of right now, President Trump has said I want no part of that.
Michaelangelo
So that's Ian Bremmer. He's on CBS to news. Of course, the question of the day is do you pronounce it fordow or Ford? Ow. I've noticed the problem. It's spelled differently. Sometimes it's D O and sometimes it's D O W. So if it's D O, I'm going to pronounce it fordo. Anyway, Ian said Ford O. I'm going to go with him. So you got two big nuclear facilities, even though there were others that were hit. But the two big ones and this is the whole deal, right? This is the whole point of the war. Iran and the rest of the free world, or Israel and the rest of the free world does not want the weird beard mullahs to have a freaking nuclear weapon. Once again, reiterating, in case you don't know, these are many, many, many multiples times more powerful than the stuff that we dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Like, like, not even close. Not even in the same league really. So it'd be a very big deal if Iran got one of those. And Israel has vowed because it's their survival to not let them do it. But a couple of the centers, they have like underground facilities. So before we get to Fordo, the IAEA just came out and disputed Israel's claims that they had destroyed the Natanz nuclear sites ability to continue to enrich uranium. So Israel came out over the weekend and say, we've, we've, we've done that one with so much damage it's no longer functional. The IAEA says, no, that's not true. We're monitoring all kinds of, you know, radiation and all that sort of stuff. And from what we can tell, that there would be more radiation, there'd be more, all kinds of different stuff. I won't bog down in the many paragraphs, but there would be more indication that you had destroyed it and you haven't gotten to the underground. You got the top part and their electricity's out and all kinds of stuff, but their ability to enrich, enrich uranium underground still exists. So that's either true or it's not. If it is true, that's horrifying.
Joe Getty
I've got to admit, I'm weirdly darkly amused by the IAEA saying, in essence, no, you need to hit them some more.
Michaelangelo
Excellent point. This from the Dispatch is reporting today Israel attacks on Iran's nuclear sites have also have continued, but there may be limits to the damage Jerusalem could inflict. Flicked Israeli forces reportedly struck Iran's Fordo nuclear site overnight again, but satellite imagery showed only limited damage to the enrichment plant built into the side of a mountain. The bad news is that there are still centrifuges enriching as we speak. That is bad news. The bad news is that there's still a large, highly enriched uranium stockpile. The bad news is that Fordo, the heavily fortified fuel enrichment plant under almost 300ft of rock in Central Ren, is still intact. Says this guy who's the senior director for the foundation for the Defense of Democracies about Iran's nuclear program. While the Israelis have been very military, militarily successful, there is still a lingering question mark over the counter proliferation operation that triggered this whole thing. So if they're still actually spinning and enriching and then you got the whole stockpile that allowed them to build weapons from anywhere from 8 to 50, depending on who you ask. But 8 would be plenty. That's a problem. I mean, we're a long way from done if that's the case.
Joe Getty
Right. Well, I wasn't sure how to take how seriously to take Netanyahu statements that this might take days or weeks. I thought, wow, weeks of this stuff. But that speaks to that statement. Right.
Michaelangelo
So I've heard so many different experts with different ideas. One expert's idea was, well, yeah, Israel hasn't gotten there yet, but they're going to keep pounding that same site. They don't have the one bunker buster bomb that you can drop and get it done with one drop, but they can continue to pound and pound and pound away and eventually they will pound their way through. That makes sense. Just from a, you know, if you've ever tried to destroy anything standpoint, you could use one giant explosion or you can keep hitting it with a hammer like a million times and maybe get through.
Joe Getty
But meanwhile, I'm sure the strategy involves we'll also destroy the entrances and the roads leading up to it and the trucks that would carry the materials and the launch pads and the rocket factory and the tire factory that supplies the trucks and you know, down the road, every possible input they could identify.
Michaelangelo
So if Trump is committed to the idea that Iran doesn't get a nuke, then at some point we're going to have to join in and help and we'll see. As Trump, we read this earlier, Trump told Atlantic magazine, hey, America first or whatever the MAGA movement is about, I make those decisions, I'm the leader. So people can't scream and yell that this isn't America First. I came up with the term, I'll define it and my definition includes getting rid of Iran's nuclear program, which I think was an interesting thing for him to say.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I'm just thinking out loud here. But in the same way that, and we. Jack, you described this beautifully. I think the first time Trump was running that Trump isn't a racist, but he didn't want to run off what he perceived as kind of the redneck, maybe racist southern vote. And so he just kind of soft pedaled any sort of criticism of that sort of people, especially because the mainstream media was calling absolutely Everybody a racist at that point for everything they did. And so I could absolutely picture Trump, who's good at building coalitions, convincing the restrictionist crowd, the isolationist crowd, whatever you want to call that. Yeah, I'm. I'm down with you. You got a lot of good ideas over there. That's some good points you're making. But when, you know, it comes time to, you know, the. To get down to brass tacks, he's down with the destruction of Fordo, for instance. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
Michaelangelo
Me neither. I'm sure we'll have more on that tomorrow and over the next several weeks, maybe years. Anniversary of two very important things. Yesterday, June 15th. First of all, my favorite song of all time. It was the 60th anniversary of Bob Dylan walking into a studio and recording like a rolling stone 60 years ago yesterday.
Unknown
That's my.
Michaelangelo
That's my favorite song of all time.
Joe Getty
Wow. Excellent. Good to have one.
Michaelangelo
And. And if you've seen the movie with a little Timothee Chalamet, they spend a lot of time on that particular recording session, and it's very cool.
Joe Getty
Oh, cool.
Michaelangelo
More importantly, it was the anniversary yesterday, the 809th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Its date of birth is June 15, 1215. In which, for the first time, for the least, kings of England said, hey, King, you're still king and everything, but we got to sign off on it first. You can't just do whatever the hell you want. All right?
Joe Getty
Right. So, yeah.
Michaelangelo
And he agreed. The king agreed. Otherwise he'd have had his head cut off or something.
Joe Getty
Go ahead, Chili. Once, once upon a time, the king wasn't worth a dime. Congress in its prime. They needed rights, didn't they?
Michaelangelo
Look. Look at Joe. Combining like a rolling stone with the birthday.
Unknown
Poorly.
Joe Getty
Very poorly.
Michaelangelo
The birthday of the Magna Carta. Fantastic.
Joe Getty
That was art.
Michaelangelo
That was really artistic. We've been playing Bill Maher jokes throughout the morning, and he. His Friday night HBO show is what we're playing the jokes from. He's got another show that I watch regularly where he sits down in a basement and smokes pot with various celebrities and has very, very long conversations. I love that show. It's very interesting.
Joe Getty
And he drinks hard liquor, too.
Michaelangelo
He drinks whiskey and smokes pot. And I must say, yeah, I must say I usually have to bail out because he starts to get laughing at everything. And he spaces out all the time because he's high. What were we just talking about? Anyway? But I've seen some really, really good conversations with comedians, actors, politicians, all kinds of different people. He had Sean Penn on the other day and I haven't actually seen this, but he got angry at Sean Penn because Sean Penn came in and criticized the Bill Maher for meeting with Trump, for sitting down with Trump. And Bill Maher said, I wish I could say the word because it makes it better. You met with effing Castro and Hugo Chavez. That's pretty good.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
I wonder where it went from there.
Michaelangelo
I know. I might check it out. Might have to tune in.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Michaelangelo
That crowd, whatever. All right. Good for you.
Joe Getty
I know. They just wear me out.
Michaelangelo
I do need to watch some highlights of the parade. If you, if you haven't seen the, the military parade, the army birthday parade, if you haven't seen the soldiers marching with those robot dogs, I thought that was freaking cool and frightening because we ain't, we ain't the only people that are gonna have robot dogs.
Joe Getty
Wow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I'd seen it. I actually it was a busy day Saturday and I flipped on the TV a couple of times when I had a free moment to see if there was any coverage of it and I really didn't get any.
Michaelangelo
I'm sure they did on Fox. My I was talking to my dad last night for Father's Day and he said they watched the whole thing beginning to end and found it very, very enjoyable.
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. I'll bet it's available somewhere to watch again. But yeah, the more I hear about it, the more I think it was everything we were hoping it would be and really nothing of what everybody on the left particularly said it would be an un American North Korea style, blah blah blah. Actually, some people on the right said that too. Come to think of it, you only.
Michaelangelo
Used to get juiced in it. We will finish strong.
Joe Getty
Next Armstrong and Getty.

The only reason I would not accept an invitation is because I see, I see no. So it's a long flight and I see no. Really. You'll meet with, I don't think Castro and Hugo Chavez, but not the President of the United States. Yeah, I saw good results come out of some of those things. In terms of I had, I don't think that there's anything that I would, I just personally wouldn't trust anything that was said in the room.
Michaelangelo
Oh my God.
Joe Getty
Including the personality. It's not a matter of trusting it, it's a matter of seeing it better. Of experiencing better. Knowing it. Yeah. More now. It's like saying I don't want this medical test because I, you know, I don't want to know. I want to know.
Michaelangelo
That's Bill Maher talking to Sean Penn, high and drunk in the basement of his shack that he has behind his house.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Michaelangelo
These people are so self referential of themselves in a way that the rest of the world doesn't get. Sean Penn. I of course I met with Hugo Chavez because I feel like I accomplished a lot. You didn't accomplish anything. He doesn't, he doesn't care what you think. Sean Penn and I don't know if I'd accomplish Anything. With Trump, you. You feel like you could meet with a different president and accomplish something because you're Sean Penn. What are you talking about?
Joe Getty
Yeah, that was a reasonably bright guy trying desperately to find an argument and being unsuccessful.
Michaelangelo
You think these communist leaders meet with you because they are want to hear your valuable input on things and it isn't just because it helps give them some legitimacy that a giant movie star is meeting with them.
Joe Getty
I would have dropped everything and paid all expenses to meet with Joe Biden. Of course, me too.
Michaelangelo
If somebody said I could get you a dinner with, it be you and three other people and the president. Name a president. I'm going, are you kidding?
Joe Getty
Right? Yeah, that's a. Well, it's Trump derangement syndrome.
Michaelangelo
It's also over inflating the fact that he thinks he has a hand in major policies around the world because he's.
Joe Getty
Sean Penn or something. Yeah, yeah. How odd, huh? So, touched on this briefly. Did you want to talk about the survivor of the Air India crash? Because I'm reading more from aviation experts and they are virtually all saying pilot.
Michaelangelo
Error on the plane crash. Yeah, that's good news though, right? Isn't that good news? It's better than mechanical area. You can do something about pilot error, get better pilots.
Joe Getty
Well, hang on now. My next sentence was going to be the con. The consensus was that the majority of accidents are either pilot error or maintenance error, according to airline consultants and in pilots forums, which are not necessarily going to be correct because sometimes, you know, people bark up the wrong tree. But in pilots forums, they point out that the 737 Max, that was the Boeing plane that had so many problems a number of years ago. Unlike that plane, the Dreamliners tried and true, any tendency toward mechanical failure would have emerged years and years ago. It is a great trusted aircraft and pilots know it. So why do most airline professionals believe it was pilot error? Mainly because the video showed a series of things that didn't make sense to them. First, the flaps on the wings were up. A huge mistake. The up position pushes the plane down to use during landings. Second, the landing gear was never retracted. That's something pilot usually takes care of the moment the plane leaves the ground. Anybody who's ever flown knows that. I mean, you're barely off the ground and you hear the clunk, clunk on a form used by professional pilots. I saw these two observations again and again, writes this journalist in a thread. Gear down, flap up. And then this retired pilot who flew for Delta for years and years found the flat mistake Extremely puzzling, to say the least. Quote, at Delta, the rule is that you don't even begin taxing to the Runway until both the pilot and co pilot have physically looked at the flaps. They turn and look out the window to make sure the flaps are in the right position. It's almost fail proof. And several people speculating that perhaps the pilot near India veteran somehow hit the flap control instead of the landing gear control.
Michaelangelo
Was he drunk or stupid or poorly trained or what's the deal or all of the above?
Joe Getty
I don't know. The other factor was 107 degrees that day. The flight was full passengers, luggage and fuel. Another expert said if the crew didn't factor in the high temperature to set the correct engine thrust to account for the plane's weight, the engines might not have generated enough power to keep the plane airborne after liftoff.
Michaelangelo
Well, I just think that that guy who survived in seat 11E, he should already, already have an agent so he can become a motivational speaker or a religious figure or get on Dancing with the Stars or something.
Joe Getty
All of the above. Are you kidding? Who wants final thoughts? Who wants final thoughts? Go have some final thoughts.
Katie Greene
Hooray.
Michaelangelo
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe.
Joe Getty
Getty, quick on air meeting. Michael, the opening clip of the show. That's gonna be my final thought. Let's get a final thought for everybody on the crew to wrap up the show for the day. There he is, Michelangelo, pressing the buttons. What's your final thought, Michael? Yeah, I just. I always get amusement when movie stars think they made a difference. That's like me writing to Donald Trump and saying, I want you to close the border. Then he does. You know, a couple of months later, I say, he did it because of my letter.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand: "That Was Art." – June 16, 2025
In the June 16, 2025 episode of Armstrong & Getty On Demand, hosted by Joe Getty, Jack Armstrong, and Michaelangelo, the trio delves deep into pressing geopolitical issues, aviation safety, and cultural milestones, all while maintaining their signature blend of insightful analysis and sharp commentary.
The episode opens with a comprehensive discussion on the escalating tensions in the Middle East, focusing on President Donald Trump's staunch position against Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Joe Getty addresses the strategic maneuvers in international politics:
"[03:08] President Donald Trump is currently meeting with the leaders of the G7, all our allies about the Middle East and where things are there. Benjamin Netanyahu, the guy who is currently prime minister of Israel, said that Trump is Iran's number one enemy, which might be true... which are totalitarian societies who yearn to be free."
The hosts analyze Netanyahu's recent statements regarding alleged Iranian assassination attempts on Trump, questioning the intent behind these declarations. Michaelangelo elaborates:
"[06:17] But there were Iranian plots to assassinate Trump."
The conversation shifts to a Politico article by Matthias Dor, highlighting the global culture war and its impact on perceptions of good versus evil:
"[07:00] An article in Politico discusses how societies are losing the ability to distinguish between good and evil, especially in the context of Israel and Iran, framing it as a war of civilizations."
The discussion further explores the challenges Israel faces in neutralizing Iran's nuclear facilities. The hosts express skepticism about the effectiveness of Israel's "bunker buster" missiles against deeply fortified sites like Fordo:
"[31:19] Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear sites have continued, but satellite imagery shows only limited damage. The Fordo facility remains a significant threat with ongoing uranium enrichment."
Joe Getty underscores the gravity of the situation:
"[35:47] He [Trump] is adamant about he is not going to allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon."
Transitioning to aviation, the hosts examine the recent Air India crash, debating whether pilot error or mechanical failure was to blame. Joe Getty highlights inconsistencies observed in the crash:
"[46:55] The flaps on the wings were up and the landing gear was never retracted—both critical errors that puzzled aviation experts."
Michaelangelo adds:
"[48:48] Most airline professionals believe it was pilot error, but the specifics of the flight's configuration suggest otherwise."
The conversation emphasizes the importance of thorough investigations to maintain aviation safety standards.
The episode also covers military developments, notably Ukraine's reported success in downing a Russian Su-35 fighter jet with the assistance of a Swedish reconnaissance aircraft:
"[20:20] Ukraine's F16 fighter jet has successfully shot down an advanced Russian aircraft, marking a significant achievement in the ongoing conflict."
The hosts commend Ukraine's resilience and strategic advancements:
"[20:20] Well done, Ukraine. It's getting harder and pricier to fly with your pet."
Shifting gears, Michaelangelo and Joe Getty discuss the evolving regulations surrounding pet travel on airplanes. The Transportation Department's ban on emotional support animals has led to stricter enforcement, increased costs, and added complexities for pet owners:
"[22:25] The transportation department banned emotional support animals in 2021, allowing only service animals with proper documentation and small pets in approved carriers."
Joe Getty laments the inconvenience faced by pet owners:
"[22:33] It's more difficult and more expensive. The rules are strictly enforced, often changing last minute at the airport."
The hosts touch upon the auctioning of significant historical documents, including a contemporary copy of the 13th Amendment and the US Constitution. They discuss the soaring prices and the cultural significance of these artifacts:
"[51:00] A copy of the 13th Amendment is expected to fetch up to $8 million, while the US Constitution sold for over $43 million in 2021."
Michaelangelo reflects on the value and reverence these documents command:
"[23:23] Lincoln-era items are exceptionally hot in the market, showcasing the enduring legacy of these historical figures."
Celebrating cultural history, the hosts acknowledge the 60th anniversary of Bob Dylan's iconic song "Like a Rolling Stone" and the 809th anniversary of the Magna Carta. They draw parallels between these milestones and contemporary governance:
"[35:47] Yesterday marked the 60th anniversary of Bob Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' and the 809th anniversary of the Magna Carta, both pivotal moments in music and legal history."
Joe Getty humorously intertwines these events:
"[36:49] Combining 'Like a Rolling Stone' with the birthday of the Magna Carta—That was art."
The episode concludes with critiques of media personalities, notably Bill Maher, and their influence on public discourse. The hosts express skepticism towards Maher's interactions with figures like Sean Penn and his approach to controversial topics:
"[37:32] Bill Maher’s interactions with celebrities like Sean Penn on his show often lack substantive impact, leaving the audience questioning the value of such dialogues."
Joe Getty sums up his dissatisfaction:
"[44:55] I just think that guy who survived in seat 11E, he should already have an agent so he can become a motivational speaker or a religious figure or get on Dancing with the Stars or something."
In their closing remarks, the hosts reflect on the state of global affairs, cultural shifts, and personal anecdotes, maintaining their characteristic blend of humor and critical analysis.
Joe Getty shares a final thought on political dynamics:
"[49:31] Joe Getty: Getty, quick on air meeting. Michael, the opening clip of the show. That's gonna be my final thought for everybody on the crew to wrap up the show for the day."
Michaelangelo offers a glimpse into upcoming events and personal interests:
"[50:12] Fans of competitive eating like me are rejoicing as Joey Chestnut will be returning to Nathan's hot dog eating contest on Fourth of July."
The "That Was Art." episode of Armstrong & Getty On Demand provides listeners with a multifaceted exploration of international politics, aviation safety, cultural anniversaries, and media critique. Through engaging dialogue and pointed analysis, the hosts offer valuable insights into the complexities of today's world, making it a must-listen for those seeking informed and thought-provoking commentary.
