Overview

This episode brings listeners a curated mix of the week’s top discussions, presented in the familiar, conversational, and at times sardonic style Armstrong & Getty fans love. Hour One focuses primarily on pressing geopolitical events (the Iran conflict, military strategy, and international intrigue), state and national politics (California’s gubernatorial race and political culture), personal anecdotes (childbirth and parenthood with Katie Green), and a critical look at media-driven panic around health scares. True to form, the show blends news analysis, pointed skepticism, and humor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Status of the Iran Conflict and U.S. Strategy

• Refuting Media Narratives (04:23–05:45):
  The hosts challenge claims of a “shattered” Iranian military, highlighting New York Times reporting that Iran has largely restored its missile capabilities, especially along the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Jack Armstrong: “Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz.” (05:32)
• Implications for U.S. and Allies (05:45–08:37):
  Despite intensive bombardment, Iran maintains 70% of its pre-war missile stockpile and 90% of its underground facilities. Armstrong expresses surprise at how little lasting impact air power alone has had.
  • Joe Getty: “Given the narrowness of the Strait of Hormuz and... modern weaponry... you practically cannot eliminate a country's capacity to do violence.” (07:27)
• Ground War vs. Air Power (08:03–08:37):
  Air power remains limited unless followed by a massive ground invasion—a lesson echoed from past wars.
  • Jack Armstrong: “You just can’t accomplish what you need to accomplish with air power. Unless you’re gonna put 100,000 troops on the ground... you can’t do what you want to do.” (08:03)
• Regional Military Developments (06:50–07:25):
  The UAE and Saudi Arabia’s secret participation in bombing Iran—kept quiet to avoid inflaming their own populations.

2. Logistics, the Strait of Hormuz, and Economic Leverage

• Logistics Workarounds (09:43–12:18):
  As attacks on shipping routes intensify, convoys of trucks ferry goods across the Arabian Desert, reducing the effectiveness of blockades.
  • Joe Getty: “Convoys of heavy duty trucks are now barreling across the Arabian Desert as an escape valve from the jammed up Strait of Hormuz.” (09:43)
  • 3500 trucks are now running from the Gulf to the Red Sea, making up for blockaded sea routes.
• Strategic Implications (12:18–12:36):
  If Iran can move goods over land and circumvent blockades, U.S. leverage shifts back to military force.
  • Jack Armstrong: “If they are getting things in and out... then we got no leverage other than bombing.” (12:18)

3. Parenthood, Childbirth, and Life Changes: Katie Green Calls In

• On-Air From the Delivery Room (16:10–20:20): News anchor Katie Green calls while actively in labor, bringing light humor and genuine reflection to the episode.
  • Jack Armstrong: “We could sell sponsorships... this contraction, brought to you by Pampers.” (16:21)
  • Katie Green: “There would be so many FCC violations if you guys tried to do that stunt.” (16:48)
• Realities of Childbirth (17:03–18:34): Candid discussion of the induction process and the relief of nearing delivery.
  • Katie Green: “There was a little bit of a starting process... that involved a balloon—not the kind you see at a party—and that was painful.” (17:45)
  • “I’ve been telling everybody I’m serving him an eviction notice. He’s out.” (19:22)
• On the Transformative Power of Parenting (20:42–22:17): Reflections on how having children literally and figuratively changes who you are, quoting writer Caitlin Flanagan.
  • Joe Getty: “You look at the world differently. There’s no understanding that unless you’ve done it.” (21:04)
  • “It is a miracle that will change everything about you in so many good ways.” (22:03)

4. Cultural Shifts in Childbirth Practices

• From “Trust the Science” to “Trust Nature” (23:42–24:40): The hosts recall the shift from whisking babies away at birth to the now-standard practice of immediate skin-to-skin contact, poking fun at past faith in flawed science.
  • Jack Armstrong: “Trust the science. You used to grab a newborn and take it away from their mom. Now we’ve decided... the best thing you could possibly do... is handed to mom and have it laying on mom’s chest.” (24:25)

5. California Politics: The Gubernatorial Race & Javier Becerra

• Candidate Profile: Javier Becerra (31:26–36:18): The hosts eviscerate California’s frontrunner for governor, characterizing him as uninspired and unqualified, having coasted on loyalty to powerful unions.
  • Jack Armstrong: “During the biggest pandemic in a century [as HHS Secretary], he was a non-entity... That shows you what a nothing he is. And he might be governor.” (32:22)
  • Joe Getty: “He comes off as a simpleton... What they used to call a mediocrity.” (36:18)
• Viral Interview Clip (33:57–34:49): Becerra is mocked for demanding a “profile piece” free of tough questions during an interview.
  • Javier Becerra: “By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece, right?” (34:12)
  • Jack Armstrong: “How weak is that?” (34:43)
• Press Dynamics in One-Party States (34:56–36:19): Discussion of how Democrats rise to power in California without ever facing real scrutiny, leading to embarrassing gaffes when finally challenged.

6. Media Panic and Health Scares: The Hantavirus Story

• Critique of Sensationalist Coverage (44:57–49:02): The segment mocks media for hyping the hantavirus outbreak—contrasting it with genuine national concerns like debt.
  • Jack Armstrong: “The Sunday talk shows... led with the hantavirus story... Like, half the show... Is anybody scared? Or did you just make that up completely?” (45:02–47:15)
  • Joe Getty: “This is the very week... the nation’s debt surpassed our GDP... and we’re worried about a couple of people on a cruise off the coast of Africa.” (46:32)
  • They lampoon cable news’ embrace of fear-based clickbait.

[Jack Armstrong]

You've tuned into the best weekend talk show in America. Hey, there we are. Armstrong and Getty. Man, we had a busy week of doing 20 hours of live radio. We talked about the war in Iran, of course, the Trump she summit, of course, and a lot of other news of the day. And you're going to hear the best stuff we did. We do 20 hours every week.

[Joe Getty]

Are you aware of reports that Pakistan

[Katie Green]

are allowing their bases to be used to park Iranian aircraft?

[Jack Armstrong]

Sir, I wouldn't want to comment on that based on the ongoing negotiations. I don't know why he didn't want to talk about that. That's Secretary My Word. Lindsey Graham. Our senator Lindsey Graham talking to Kane. General Kane.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And General Kane didn't want to go there for whatever reason. And Lindsey Graham kind of lost his mind a little later. Maybe we'll play that later about how angry he got about, you know, I don't trust these guys. No, you shouldn't trust them. They, they hid bin Laden from us and they're letting Iran park their planes so they can't be blown up and all kinds of other stuff. And they're the arbiters for this peace deal. It's ridiculous anyway. I don't want to get off on that this is the story that's getting so much attention today. It's in the New York Times. The Trump administration's public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military is sharply at odds with what US Intelligence agencies are telling policymakers behind closed doors. This is according to classified assessments from early this month that show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities. Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which of course, could threaten American warships and oil tankers transiting the narrow waterway. So I don't, I don't know anything about this. So I can't claim incompetence or, you know, anything really. I don't know anything about this, but I'm just shocked with, after all that bombing and the idea that we had decimated their ability to, you know, fire back at us, that we, you know, really had some supremacy in the skies and could do whatever we wanted, that they got 30 of 33 rocket launchers still going along the strait.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, we do have supremacy in the sky and all that sort of stuff. But it looks, and we ought to talk to Mike Lyons about this.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm going to, tomorrow.

[Joe Getty]

It looks like they, they, they went to ground in a way. They, they hid their stuff and buried it or whatever, took it deep underground, knowing that the attacks were coming in

[Jack Armstrong]

general for the whole country. Iran still fields about 70% of its mobile launchers across the country and has retained roughly 70% of its pre war missile stockpile, according to the assessments. That stockpile encompasses both ballistic missiles, which can target other nations in the region, and a smaller supply of cruise missiles which can be used against shorter range targets on land or at sea. That is pretty troubling stuff. Now, at the same time, the story came out today that yesterday the story came out that the UAE had also bombed Iran during this whole war. Today the story's out that Saudi Arabia joined Israel and us in the bombing and kept it quiet the whole time for obvious reasons. I mean, that could disrupt a lot of their population. I mean, if it was a big splashy headline that Saudi Arabia joins the Jews in bobbing Muslims.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you write that headline in Saudi, you get your hands chopped off if you're lucky. Yeah, yeah. And they say they have regained access to roughly 90% of its underground missile storage and launch facilities nationwide. I'm reminded of our last conversation with Mike Lyons in which we were talking about the fact that given the narrowness of the Strait of Hormuz and, you know, just a modern weaponry, drones and otherwise, you, you practically cannot eliminate a country's capacity to do violence. All you can do is eliminate their will to do violence by beating them down so hard they say, let me up, I've had enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't understand it, but it's clearly true. Having lived through, well, Vietnam as a really little kid when I, you know, was reading about it later when I got older, but also Iraq, Afghanistan, now Iran, you just can't accomplish what you need to accomplish with air power. You just can't, apparently. And it doesn't quite make sense to me, but it clearly is true. Unless you're gonna put, you know, 100,000 troops on the ground and go through cities with guys you can't do what you want to do. Apparently.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot you can do by putting, say, a missile launching system on an elevator and taking it six stories underground. Apparently, then we have to use our super giant ordinance to get to those. And if you have hundreds of them, it's just, it's tough to make that happen. You got to get your enemy to capitulate.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we can move on to other topics. But it certainly seems to me on this that if Trump is going to, as he said again yesterday before he got on the plane headed to China, if he says, if he's sticking to his guns, and I sure hope he is, that, look, only one thing matters. They are not going to get a nuclear weapon, then we got to go back to bombing the crap out of them.

[Joe Getty]

Probably. Yeah, yeah. Can't imagine any other.

[Jack Armstrong]

The other thing that he's not going to say out loud, but I think is also true. They can't control the straight of Hormoves.

[Public Investing Platform Disclosures]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I think that's just as true. If those two things are absolutes, no nukes, straight opens back up again, we got to start bombing the crap out of them again.

[Joe Getty]

Even then, it's going to be a tough nut to crack, especially the straight. Given what I was saying about, you know, capability and drones and the rest of it. Here's, here's the. What I love about events and laws and things that human beings do that I always accuse the left of not taking into consideration. There are secondary effects if a happens, how will people adjust? What will they do that will change the world? And convoys of heavy duty trucks are now barreling across the Arabian Desert as an escape valve from the jammed up Strait of Hormuz. And it's Just absolutely spectacular.

[Jack Armstrong]

Moving stuff across the border by land.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, exactly. Lots and lots and lots of trucks, mostly running around the clock. Two drivers each. There's an executive at Alcoa, a former executive who's been watching this unfold and has connections. He says 600 trucks became 1600 became 2000. Now we've got 3500 trucks running from the Gulf to the Red Sea. They paused just long enough to refuel while one dude sleeps in the back.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's interesting because I didn't bring this. The other day some Iranian foreign minister speakers whatever said our border is twice the length of the distance across the United States. Our entire border around our country. You can't police all of that. We can move stuff over land and get stuff in and out of the country that way. I thought that does sound like a problem.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Yeah. So here's an expert said they will have caught up. Well, okay, so he's in the fertilizer business. This one guy being quoted. Who he is doesn't matter that much.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sun Tzu or whatever the name of that guy is who wrote the Art of War. Yeah, he's got to have some saying in there. This truism. The other side gets a vote because that is the most truest thing about all fights and wars and business deals or whatever. Oh yeah, the other side gets a vote. You can come up with your plan, but they get to come up with their plan. And you don't always guess correctly what that's going to be.

[Joe Getty]

Right. So here's the CEO of a Saudi state controlled mining company that was caught up in the blockade and serious about it and helped get the giant number of trucks going. He said they'll have caught up on its export backlog by the end of May. He said, whether I truly believe we could do it or not, I don't know. The drive is making a meaningful dent in its fertilizer shortage that's threatening the global food supply. But we're making real progress.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the only current leverage we have. If we're not going to bomb. The idea is we're crushing their economy because they can't get anything in or out. Well, if they are getting things in and out and if they're caught back up to normal in two weeks, then we got no leverage other than bombing. Wow, that's quite a development.

[Joe Getty]

Yikes.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's gonna be fun to watch.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Katie Green does our news and is part of the show every day. And she is having a baby, like, very shortly. And we're about to put her on the air and I think, think if we can somehow drag out the conversation.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

She'll lose track of time and have the baby on the air. And I think that would really be good for us. And we could sell sponsorships.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Be a great rating stunt, this contraction.

[Jack Armstrong]

Brought to you by Pampers.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, wow, wow. Can you charge them retroactively for that? Do we have Katie?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Ladies and gentlemen, the fabulous Katie Green, live from the delivery room, calling in. Hi, Katie.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Katie Green]

There would be so many FCC violations if you guys tried to do that stunt. That would not work.

[Jack Armstrong]

You are. You are a dedicated radio professional. Are you actually. You're actually at the hospital in a bed.

[Katie Green]

I am at the hospital in a bed having contractions as we speak.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. In the, in the, like, super nice modern delivery room setting or what?

[Katie Green]

Yeah, it's actually, it's a beautiful room. It's huge. And I'm. The bed's actually comfortable, which is odd. And it's been great.

[Jack Armstrong]

And of course, you didn't know this, but we had a radio contest last week where five listeners got to be there. So if you got the listeners there, we're watching. You have the baby.

[Katie Green]

Plus, those are the people that keep coming to the door.

[Jack Armstrong]

Those are listeners who want to contest.

[Joe Getty]

Plus, when you sign the paperwork to start working with us, you signed away the naming rights to the baby. So please welcome Baby mcbaby Face

[Katie Green]

Damn it. It's always the fine print that I don't read.

[Joe Getty]

Right. So how you feeling?

[Katie Green]

I feel pretty good. There was a little bit of a starting process to this whole getting induced thing that involved a balloon and not the type that you would see at a party. And that was painful. But now that that part's over, we're good. And then in about an hour, they're talking about breaking my water. And then little Jack, Joe. Mike. Mike will be here shortly after that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. In about an hour?

[Katie Green]

Well, yeah, depending on how long it takes from there. But that's apparently when they break that water. That's when it's like, go time.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure. Are you ready to have that baby out of you? Holy hell.

[Katie Green]

Am I over over it.

[Joe Getty]

You know, Katie, there are, there are a number of steps in the miracle that is having and raising a child where God's plan is so wise. I mean, because childbirth is no walk in the park. And you know that, obviously. But at the.

[Jack Armstrong]

I found it fairly easy.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. Wow. I'd have your head on a swivel walking to your car. All of our women listeners are going to be here to murder you. All the moms anyway. But at the point that you're ready to give birth, you're like, I don't care. Let's get this done. It's like when your kid finally leaves the house, you'd think you'd be heartbroken, but they're so sassy. You're like, yeah, I'm going to cry,

[Jack Armstrong]

but good luck, right?

[Katie Green]

Yeah. Oh, the amount of people that have told me, you know, really enjoy these last couple of weeks because you're gonna miss it. The hell I am.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Katie Green]

I've been telling everybody I'm serving him an eviction notice. He's out.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Eviction notice. That's funny. The time is up.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a two year process for that if you're having a baby in California. So anyway.

[Katie Green]

Oh, great.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you know, we're super crazy excited for you and happy for you and got our fingers crossed. And a lot of the folks listening, hopes and prayers and fingers crossed as well.

[Katie Green]

I appreciate you guys very much. And you guys, you'll be in the. On the list, the first to know when he's here. So I'll be texting you guys shortly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, we'll announce it on the air then. It's going to happen while we're on the air today. That's crazy.

[Katie Green]

Yeah, hopefully that's what that, that's my entire goal is to make sure that it happens while you guys are still on the air.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trying to back time it to the top of the hour.

[Joe Getty]

What a what? What a trooper. Oh, my gosh. Hey, give our best here, mom and pop. And stay in touch, all right?

[Katie Green]

I absolutely will. Thanks, guys.

[Joe Getty]

[Joe Getty]

One big push and just shoot him out.

Wow, wow, wow. I know. Such a big deal.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, impossible to summarize.

[Jack Armstrong]

No. There's the life before you had a kid and the life after you had a kid, and they are very different. And not including. And this is the part you just can't possibly know all the changes that happen in your brain. I mean, because of course you can't know your brain changes.

[Joe Getty]

It literally changes neurologically.

[Jack Armstrong]

Your hormones change and your brain changes when you have a baby. When you have a kid. Men and women, the responsibilities never. You look at the world differently. There's no understanding that unless you've done it.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. The fabulous Caitlin Flanagan, who's we mentioned, I guess last week she wrote a great piece for the Free Press. Has another piece out. It was for Mother's Day and she was talking about how, you know, the question of to have a kid or not at all is a thing among young women. And she made the joke that women, young women are looking at it exactly the way men have been telling women to look at things forever logically and, you know, pluses and minuses and blah, blah, blah. And that young women never get the. It is a miracle that will change everything about you in so many good ways.

[Jack Armstrong]

Talk.

[Joe Getty]

It's out of fashion. It's just a dollars and cents convenience. Career vacation will become difficult. I don't get to do things on my schedule anymore. It sounds like a net negative to me.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're right. Nobody talks up the part that most parents talk about being the greatest thing that ever happened in your life.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Why don't you pull, say a thousand parents and ask them if you could go back again when you undo it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, God.

[Joe Getty]

And look at that teeny tin tiny number. It's like a trial with no defense attorney. All you have is the prosecution of the idea of motherhood. Talking about women now, obviously, but the defense never gets to speak. It's a weird culture. It's partly that our media and so many of our idea shapers are of a monoculture.

[Jack Armstrong]

I can't believe she called in while we're on there.

[Joe Getty]

I know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hours before she's going to have a baby.

[Joe Getty]

I know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like maybe an hour before she's gonna have a baby.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. We didn't ask her to. No. Yeah, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Make it clear. We did not demand that she call in.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God, no.

[Jack Armstrong]

An hour before she's having a baby.

[Joe Getty]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. Very exciting.

[Joe Getty]

You'd hate to get scammed out of your baby. And that's why incogni is so important. Yeah. I didn't have anything better. When did that transition to the birthing rooms where, you know, you shouldn't be

[Jack Armstrong]

filthy, but in the 90s?

[Joe Getty]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Was it earlier than that?

[Joe Getty]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, when did they stop? I talked about this list. This. This one horrifies me for whatever reason, because it happened to me. I don't. I'm. But the whole whisking the baby away from mom.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

When did they stop doing that? Here's your baby. Everything that you know intuitively about nature would be. Mom is gonna stay with the baby. I'm sure that's the way it's been for a million years. But we're gonna take your baby away and go put it in a room full of screaming babies with bright lights.

[Public Investing Platform Disclosures]

Right?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

What the hell? Whose idea was that? And how did it last so long? But when did that change? Because they would never do that now.

[Joe Getty]

No, no. Yeah. We. As I've made the point before. America fell in love with science in the 20th century and got way carried away. Well, that's.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's what people should think about when you say trust the science. Trust the science. You used to grab a newborn and take it away from their mom.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Now we've decided, like, the best thing you could possibly do in their entire lives.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is handed to mom and have it being laying on mom's chest.

[Joe Getty]

Trust. Trust the nature. Yeah. Kate, our oldest, was born in 1992, and we had the comfortable, nice birthing room. We're quite pleased with that. And she actually had some significant complications during the birth, but the minute they determined she was fine. Yeah, she was with mom.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did you ever consider doing the hot tub birth?

[Joe Getty]

No.

[Jack Armstrong]

You have the baby in the hot tub?

[Joe Getty]

No, I don't really love hot tubs at all. And neither does Judy, so she likes it more than it is.

[Jack Armstrong]

We have some friends that did the home hot tub birth. Really?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And seem to be fine.

[Joe Getty]

Is the kid underwater? When I think, yeah, it's a.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's a water birth. They call it a water birth.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

Why?

[Jack Armstrong]

It's Some sort of. It's more natural because that's.

[Joe Getty]

Ma', am, the answer is no. Give birth in the air. Not in the air, but in air.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think it's just hot tubs feel good, so.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, it's nothing wrong with that. I get lightheaded in hot tubs. If they're over, you know, like a certain temperature, then I'm afraid I'm going to slip under and drown like Chandler from Friends from Lightheadedness.

[Jack Armstrong]

We start with Katie there in the birthing room and we end with don't want to drown like Chandler in a hot tub.

[Joe Getty]

Right, right. That's an embarrassing obit. You don't want to die a caveman death, but you don't want to die a Hollywood drug addict death either.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, you don't. Okay. As soon as Katie has her baby, she will be calling us back and I doubt it. You don't think she will never hear

[Joe Getty]

from her again, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, we got more on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty

[Jack Armstrong]

I just saw a thing up on the King Charles was addressing Parliament for some reason and there might be a new election there and the Prime Minister might go. Anyway, King Charles was there at Buckingham Palace. I didn't know they did this. He was sitting on the throne. A throne. I suppose it's the Duth Throne. Is sitting on the throne reading the newspaper. Not colloquially like it's a toilet, like in an old timey movie. Throne. It looked exactly like it. Like Henry viii. And he's on this big giant gold throne with plush red pillows and he's got this giant cape around his shoulders and a big freaking crown on his head. Yep. How did they still do? I I don't. I don't like the whole king thing at all. But you call him a King and he wears a suit and he, you know, he speaks to parliament now. But the actual sitting on a throne with a crown, how do you hang on to that?

[Joe Getty]

And the big fur cape, I love that. I know. Especially because I'm reading Tim Sandifer's Fabulous.

[Jack Armstrong]

I need a unit. Somebody give me a couple of units.

[Joe Getty]

Better get me a couple. In case the first one gets fired out.

[Jack Armstrong]

What do you got there? Make him a new unicorn. I want him to sing. I want him to sing later for me.

[Joe Getty]

I say, yeah, especially I'm reading Tim Sandifer's wonderful book Proclaiming Liberty. And the early part of it has to do with the relationship of the colonies and the crown and parliament and how England, you know, went through a couple of kings and beheaded one and ran the other one out of town. And then there were big disputes about how much power they ought to have versus Parliament, blah, blah, blah. So for the longest time, maybe forever, they've been like, what is a king anyway? What? I mean, we gotta have one, right? Everybody knows we gotta have a king, but we don't know what he ought to be really or do. And so get rid of it. But yeah, Tim is on the show

[Jack Armstrong]

tomorrow, be talking about his book, among other things.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, fantastic. Excellent.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just thought that looks so ridiculous. You got the crown on. Come on.

[Joe Getty]

Speaking of leadership, the biggest state in the union, Cal Unicornia, trying to elect a new governor because the old one is termed out and wants to be the president even though he's a putz. And the Democratic Party in a one party state of hacks has churned out some pretty uninspiring choices, including the current frontrunner, Javier Becerra, who I'll tell you more about in a minute.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Joe Getty]

But he utterly undistinguished his congressman. He's a handsome guy and he's reasonably well spoken, but did nothing as a congressman. Inexplicably, he was named state attorney general, did nothing but sue Trump, and then became health secretary in the Biden administration and was, according to Biden officials, a complete embarrassment. So why wouldn't he run for governor?

[Jack Armstrong]

We talked about that political piece from last week in which they are quoting all kinds of former Biden people saying, I mean, they're laughing behind the scenes and slapping their forehead. This guy's going to be the governor of California. He is. He doesn't know anything about anything. And the way you know, this is true, and it didn't even occur to me until it was pointed out by Politico, he was the secretary of HHS. During the biggest pandemic in a century. And he was a nothing. You have no memory. I have zero memory of him saying or doing anything ever. He was a non entity when his department with the biggest budget in America. He had no role in the pandemic. That shows you what a nothing he is. And he might be governor. That's hilarious.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, they described him as an embarrassment at briefings and that sort of thing. Tell me he's the, he's the front runner and we'll get to some great audio in a second or two.

[Jack Armstrong]

Can you hand me my phone?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, sorry.

[Jack Armstrong]

Joe's got my phone.

[Joe Getty]

I was going through it, making him take all the nudes of me out of there, so better not be copies.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we're about to play this clip of Javier Dicera sitting down for an interview. And I saw this online yesterday and David Axelrod, who is the campaign manager for Barack Obama, so he knows a little something about running for office and politics and Democratic politics. He said as HHS secretary during COVID Beceri rarely was the administration's point person in communicating the American public on the pandemic. This may be the. Here's what it sounded like in the interview yesterday.

[Joe Getty]

So he interviewed with Annie Rose Ramos for KTLA 5 in Los Angeles. And this is going completely viral. It's 90 and 91. Let's go with 91st. Michael.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

This is the start of our interview with Javier Becerra in Highland Park.

[Javier Becerra]

By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece. Right.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

Well, look, I think these questions are fair. It's in order to learn about you as a candidate and so long as about the profile. I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to begin the interview.

[Javier Becerra]

The way I describe profile is you talk about all the things that I've done, things I want to do and along with some tough questions. But not only tough questions.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. So he's begging her for a softball interview while the cameras roll and he's getting killed for this.

[Jack Armstrong]

How weak is that?

[Joe Getty]

Even the New York Times. As Becerra rises in polls, he draws fire for trying to direct interview. And they soft pedal it in the New York Times. How humiliating it was your point about

[Jack Armstrong]

it being a one party state. So everybody that rises to, you know, a high level in, in, in, in California you're in a, a one party state. You're never challenged by anybody with a compliant media.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so the same thing happened with Katie Porter. The whole, you know, where she Cut off that interview and got all angry and everything like that was basically the same thing. Like. Like, why are you. Why are you asking me hard questions and treating me like a politician here?

[Joe Getty]

Do you not understand how this works?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. You do a profile piece that is a puff piece about all my accomplishments.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

And don't say anything that's going to make me look bad. That's the way it's been my whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Why.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why is it changing now?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Aside from. And I swear this is true. It's not hyperbolic. I'm not trying to be persuasive or bomb Chucky or anything like that. Aside from, you know, just general. Some charisma. The only thing you need to gain high office in California is to check the boxes of acceptability to the big unions, the public employee unions and nurses unions, etc. The teachers unions, God knows, and the trial attorneys, among others. And as long as you pledge that you will faithfully execute exactly what they tell you to do, you will be anointed whatever the office happens to be. I mean, Kamala Harris is the proof, beyond proof of that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, but how could you rise to the level that this Javier Becerra is and, like, be completely he. You haven't ever seen on television people running for big offices and doing interviews and having to answer questions.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Have you've never. You've never encountered that in your life.

[Joe Getty]

He comes off as a simpleton.

[Public Investing Platform Announcer]

He does.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like a child.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is a profile piece. Right. You're just supposed to talk about my accomplishments.

[Joe Getty]

Well, a profile piece is when you talk about the things I want to do and what I've accomplished. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm a professional reporter.

[Joe Getty]

Annie Ramos is thinking, yeah, I'll ask

[Jack Armstrong]

you what I want. Plus you. The fact that you are unaware that the press might lead you. Because Joe and I have run into this many times in our grief. They are all friendly and like, in that sort of stuff and try to get you to say stuff.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

And hurt you or. Or come up with something that's exciting that people will want to read or watch.

[Joe Getty]

Exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

But how is he completely unaware that. Well, because of the reasons we just said. He's had nothing but puff pieces his whole life.

[Joe Getty]

Right. But don't worry, it gets worse.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

During your time as HHS secretary, a New York Times investigation found the Health department confined some 85,000 children it had released.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's not accurate.

[Javier Becerra]

What you just read is not accurate. First, that's what I'll say, because it was never the case that we could not Find kids. You're essentially. I don't know if you got those talking points from Donald Trump.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

It's from a New York Times article.

[Javier Becerra]

That's not what the New York Times article said. The New York Times said that individuals, the children and their sponsors did not respond to calls. They didn't say we couldn't find kids

[Interviewer (Michael)]

working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machineries and factories. Children as young as 14 years old.

[Javier Becerra]

That part occurred after these children had left the care of Department of Health and Human Services.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

Do you let these children go into those individual sponsors in their responsibilities?

[Javier Becerra]

Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn some money, started working in places that were very exploitive during

[Interviewer (Michael)]

your time as HHS secretary. A New York Times investigation found the health Department.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's where it started to repeat. So she was making the point. So you released them to their sponsors who put them to work in roofing, in slaughterhouses. Well, yeah, during the giant open border. It's almost surreal looking back on it. We had a president, an entire administration that threw the border wide open. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Without the specifics of what he's talking about in both of those clips, he talks like Frosty the Snowman.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is a profile piece, right? I have a magic hat.

[Joe Getty]

He is what they used to call back in the day when people used fancy words, a mediocrity. He is undistinguished in any way other than being handsome and an absolutely loyal lackey of the powers that be in the state of California. Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

And he was. He was looking like he's going to be governor. But I wonder after this stuff went viral, because there's a lot of Democrats fighting it out to be the other candidate other than Steve Hilton.

[Joe Getty]

Katie Porter is beside herself with glee right now. She's put the boiling potatoes she was going to throw on somebody back on the back burner. She's thinking, things are shaping up well for me.

[Jack Armstrong]

She went on the GLP1, she lost a bunch of weight.

[Joe Getty]

Good for her health.

[Jack Armstrong]

Get out of my effing kitchen. I heard an NPR piece yesterday where they had a bunch of academics and experts on and why the jungle primary system is a terrible idea. That is what we do in California in some states where the top two vote getters coming up here in a couple of weeks run against each other for governor, even if they're both Republicans. Well, they put it that way so that they. They thought they'd never have a Republican running at all, that. That every cycle it'd be two Democrats running against each other. It was basically, we're a one party state. Why are we going through this charade?

[Joe Getty]

It's the illusion of choice, like China.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why are we going through this charade of having a Republican run against a Democrat when we all know it's going to be a Democrat? He might as well have the two best Democrats debating it out. But then this time around, it might be two Republicans, so they want to do away with it. It's unfair and it's, it's, it's leaving a bunch of people out of the conversation and okay, all of a sudden

[Joe Getty]

like Vladimir Putin is the Secretary of state or something. So this Dan Schner, who's a longtime political analyst, teaches at UC Berkeley, usc, been following him for years. He says candidate for governor, California shouldn't just expect gotcha questions, they should welcome them and thrive on them. He added, given questions that have been raised on his ability to handle high profile pressure situations, this is not what he needs right now.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, obviously he's a punk and he sounds like Frosty the Snowman. Yes. Even without the substance of what he's talking about, I don't know what's going on here. That's what he sounds like.

[Joe Getty]

I know we're running late. Michael, play 90 again real quick.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

This is the start of our interview with Javier Braceta in Highland Park.

[Javier Becerra]

By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece. Right.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

Well, look, I think these questions are fair. It's in order to learn about you and as a candidate.

[Javier Becerra]

So long as about the profile.

[Interviewer (Michael)]

I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to begin the interview.

[Javier Becerra]

The way I describe profile is you talk about all the things that I've done, things I want to do, and along with some tough questions. But not only tough questions.

[Joe Getty]

I'm melting my corn cob pipe.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is a profile piece, right. What an embarrassing thing to say.

[Joe Getty]

Happy birthday, class A moron.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Joe Getty]

outbreak now heading to the United States.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God. The passengers are in the United States now. We're all gonna die. Why did we let the man die? What about the children? We're on the fly. A gerbil. I think I got the rat fever already. Get your affairs in order. A will and or trust. We'll do the ad later. Get your affairs in order. We're all gonna die. The hantavirus is exactly like Covid. Millions are dead.

[Joe Getty]

They're about to close schools for copulating with a rodent. Ted Cruz, I don't think you have to copulate with it. But Back to you, Dr. Jack.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know what to make of the coverage of this hantavirus thing. So for now, and especially yesterday, the Sunday talk shows, which in theory are for smart people. Your meets the press. Your face is. The nation that led with the hantavirus story went on for like, half the show. This is why we're at war. This is why all this stuff is going on half the show with various experts, this sort of thing. Play it. Michael, what is your message to Americans

[Bombas Sport Announcer]

who are still scared?

[Jack Armstrong]

We have been repeating the same question, the same answer many times. They would go on with an expert who would say. All right, since you said. Since you just said people are still scared, I guess I'll pretend that's true. Is anybody scared? Is anybody?

[Joe Getty]

Maybe you like being terrified by gonorrhea, but you never get with hoes. I mean, why.

[Jack Armstrong]

Why are you.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. We are so stupid. This is the very week, last week, in which the. The nation's debt surpassed our gdp. Our total gdp, which is a horrifying milestone. And we're worried about a couple of people on a cruise off the coast of Africa.

[Jack Armstrong]

What the hell?

[Joe Getty]

Well, they're now on our shores, Jack.

[Jack Armstrong]

Run free lives.

[Joe Getty]

Run free lives.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. I honestly don't know what to make of the. Every host on all these different shows that I saw said the same thing. People out there are very scared. They're worried this is a repeat of COVID Are they? Or did you just make that up completely?

[Joe Getty]

Like most stews, Jack, I think this one has a number of delicious ingredients, including the tendency of people on the left to really like being scared.

[Jack Armstrong]

True.

[Joe Getty]

Now then they can draw together with other people and they like that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Like I remember, for instance, Face a Nation. Margaret Brennan, who had a baby, she would. Every week she would say, mothers like me are really wondering when can our babies get The COVID shot our one year olds. And I would think, why are you worried about that? Since, like, no kids are dying. Not a single kid died from COVID if I remember correctly.

[Joe Getty]

Right. Why in the name of heaven would you get your tiny kid shot?

[Jack Armstrong]

And why are you assuming that this is the question on everybody's mind? Because I don't think it is. So I guess extrapolate it to the hantavirus. I just. Again, I don't understand the coverage of this story.

[Joe Getty]

Well, that and everything is quick bait and everyone's a grifter, and so that's good. There's a scary sounding disease that's killing people. Are you at risk?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and every story for now, for two weeks includes three have already died. You have the same three that you mentioned last week and the week before. It's only those same three, right? Because it's very hard to spread.

[Joe Getty]

Three have died of hantavirus. You hear? Five days after you heard three have died of hantavirus, and you think, oh, my God, three more. No, no. Clickbait.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure looks in the picture. Like that poor woman's legs are bending the wrong direction. How often does this happen?

This is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be with Bethenny Frankel. Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize. Not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. Here's the thing. You care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy so why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies. Go to JustFood for dogs.com right now and get 50% off your first box. No code. Just try it. Because once you see the difference, you're not going back.
