Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Armstrong and Getty.
David Fromm
And now here's arms.
Unknown
Live from studio C. Si, senor. A dimly lit room deep within the.
Jack Armstrong
Bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound.
Unknown
And hey, y'.
Jack Armstrong
All. Today we're under the tutelage of our.
Unknown
General manager, the Democratic party.
Jack Armstrong
Down but not out.
Unknown
But practically out. Why is that? Our general manager most miserable approval ratings in a generate 2 generations 35 years at least for several polls out. The Democratic party is dying for them or for any party for them.
Jack Armstrong
I just wondered, is it been the Republicans ever been that low?
Unknown
Oh, I see what you're saying. An interesting question. Let me check into that.
Jack Armstrong
I'm not sure any party has ever been this low in my lifetime.
Unknown
No, that would be. No would be the answer. In fact, not within. Well, 14. I'm sorry. The Democrats are 14 points lower. Nine points lower than the Republicans have ever been.
Jack Armstrong
Right. So that's something that is quite amazing.
Unknown
Oh, it's. It's miserable. It's.2/3 hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic party. A mere third hold a favorable view.
Jack Armstrong
Just to get it out of the way, how do you want to handle the shooting? The media is talking endlessly about.
Unknown
Oh my gosh, very briefly, another mentally ill crazy person decided to hurt people on his way out. It's awful.
Jack Armstrong
It is you. I don't know if this is. I don't know if this makes any sense or not, but the fact that it happened like two blocks from the NBC studios is part of the reason it's getting so much coverage. A nut job in Reno and a casino killed three people yesterday. This dude killed four people. That's only a one person difference. Have you even heard about the Reno shooting? Does anybody in the. Is anybody. We know about it because we live near Reno, but I think if you lived anywhere else in the United States, you wouldn't even have heard about it. So some of it. A lot of the coverage has to do with the location. Right. So. And the reason I hesitate to bring this up is kind of making the argument these shootings happen all the time, everywhere, which is not a good argument for not talking about it. But a shooting very close to as bad happened in Reno in the afternoon and got no coverage. So just everything is outsized in New York is my point.
Unknown
I'm slightly intrigued, I must admit. I have not dug into it, but I saw the headline that the guy was actually targeting the NFL in that building and had some sort of CTE.
Jack Armstrong
Related, which is hard to say. He. He seems to think he did. He was a high school football star. That was the end of his career. He could have CTE from that or he could think he has cte. I'm sure they'll dig into whether he had a diagnosis or not. He shot himself in the chest. When he did kill himself, in the way that a number of ex football players who believe they had CTE have done, he asked in his note to have his brain studied. So he. He thinks that's what's going on, that, you know, other NFL stars who have had CTE killed themselves. They didn't kill four innocent human beings, including a woman cowering behind a pole, hoping to live before they kill themselves.
Unknown
Two little kids and one more on the way. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
So that doesn't make any sense, though.
Unknown
Yeah, just horrific.
Jack Armstrong
It is horrific. And again, my argument toward it's getting. It shouldn't obliterate all news coverage. That's my point. It shouldn't obliterate all other news coverage. It doesn't make any sense.
Unknown
Right, right. Well, yeah, I would agree completely.
Jack Armstrong
How do you feel about.
Unknown
I don't feel like my job is breaking news anyway, just as a general.
Jack Armstrong
Me neither. How do you feel about Donald Trump? This makes me uncomfortable, but I have a caveat. I was just watching the video of him making news, making world news with comments about Gaza, Russia and Ukraine tariffs. I mean, world news. Then with a giant pair of scissors cutting a giant red ribbon at his new golf course. Because he was saying this in his golf clothes, with his red. With this white golf glove on, making world news. And then taking the giant scissors and cutting the ribbon at his new golf course in Scotland.
Unknown
Did he need the golf club to have a better grip on the scissors or.
Jack Armstrong
Well, he was. Then he. Then he immediately hit the first shot, so. But.
Unknown
Oh, I see. The inaugural ceremony. Right. Okay.
Jack Armstrong
No, my point is, are we okay with that it just seems a little weird. My. Here's my caveat.
Unknown
Very weird. It's very odd.
Jack Armstrong
Here's my caveat, though, for people on the left who complain about the Trump family and business. The Biden family got rich also. They just pretended it was government business. At least Trump's making it. This is my family business, which I'm sure benefits from the fact that I'm president, but it's separate. The Biden family got ungodly wealthy, claiming it was government work. Neither one of them may be good. I don't know. I don't know the particulars of the Trump deal well, and.
Unknown
Or entirely clandestinely. Yeah. And the Democrats, I'm sure, in spite of their miserable approval ratings, which were well earned, they are investigating as hard as they can, trying to find malfeasance, illegalities, unconstitutionalities, wherever they may be. So I wish them well in that endeavor. I don't want anybody to violate the oath of office. But, you know, I'll, I'll hear about it if, if they come up with anything over and over again.
Jack Armstrong
Got a couple of big stories that we're going to touch on throughout the day that everybody's talking about, but the coverage is making me insane. I looked at the breaking news. Joe just said, we don't do breaking news. But here's the breaking news from Washington Post that I woke up to today. Gaza's Death toll surpasses 60,000. Health officials say. Yeah, that's your headline.
Unknown
Health officials. What? Also, what Health officials.
Jack Armstrong
What? Health officials. Oh, the Ministry of Health. Okay, so I go to chat. GPT. What is the Gazan Ministry of Health? Oh, it is the health organization organized under Hamas and under the control of Hamas, I'll be darned. So we're asking the Nazi party for the official stats on how many Germans have been killed by the allied forces. And taking their word for it, and.
Unknown
More specifically, unspoken but unmistakably, we're asking the Nazi health officials whether the allied attacks are causing more suffering among the German people than can possibly be justified. And the Nazi health officials say yes. Yes, and the allies should stop npr. Same thing. Today I'm going to be listening to punish myself for my sins.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, And MSNBC was huge on how Netanyahu's a monster and he's only doing this to stay in office. And the military objectives were met a long time ago. Now, this is just, you know, something close to a genocide, which is interesting. Then I flipped on News Nation, which I'm kind of a cheerleader for News Nation. What is what do they call themselves? What's their tagline? News for all Americans. Anyway, they're an analyst guy, man. He was.
Unknown
Wow, that includes me. Go ahead.
Jack Armstrong
Their analyst guy in News Nation was angry at the suggestion that anybody would take these numbers at face value. And he said I have to get the clip of this. I thought it was amazing to hear having flipped around like you did hearing NPR's version and all that different sort of stuff. He said, well, for Hamas, the deaths of Palestinians is a feature, not a bug. Their goal is to have as many Palestinians die. Well, good for you for pointing out what is obviously true and what Democrats used to say out loud, like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. They would say that out loud because it's so obviously true. Sure.
Unknown
Well, and I would put it that Hamas cannot defeat Israel with arms, so they are attempting to defeat them with misinformation and propaganda. Is there suffering and horror and hunger? Of course there is. Of course there is. But the idea of quoting one of the combatants without disclosing that it's one of the combatants, you know, I happen to be back on the elliptical yesterday. My back is healed, I feel great and I'm kicking ass and I'm dropping weight and I'm getting strong and my ticker, my ticker's like that of a 40 year old.
Jack Armstrong
Are you yoked?
Unknown
I'm not yet, but I'm working on it. I'm still in my pre yoked state.
Jack Armstrong
The yoking has begun.
Unknown
Yes.
So anyway, I'm on the elliptical watching my newses and I watched the 5 for a little bit as it was that time of day and it was good until it just became mindless pro Trump cheerleading, which is fine, I just don't need that. And then so I switched over to Jake Tapper on CNN and the Five having led with stuff about the trade deal and a couple of other significant stories. Jake Tapper on the unwatchable and unwatched CNN. The first 10 minutes I think was all on the horrible cruel Israeli caused starvation of the poor people in Gaza made heavy use of the, the health ministry's statistics had hot and cold running sad footage of starving looking people and violence. And that was like it's the only story on earth. NPR likewise, when I was listening before the show and do we have time for this? Yeah, I'll make this very brief. According to, you know, the very people, these sort of people generally quote, the situation in Yemen over the last several years has been the greatest humanitarian disaster on planet earth for quite some time. Wild levels of actual starvation, attempted genocides, blah, blah, blah.
Jack Armstrong
Couple of places in Africa similar.
Unknown
Oh, yeah, yeah, I was going to get to those. But yeah, you're absolutely right, because it is brownish people against brownish people. Or in the case of Africa, blackish people against brownish people or blackish people against blackish people. No interest in it.
Jack Armstrong
None.
Unknown
No coverage. Despite the multiples and multiples of more people starving in the Yemen situation. I mean, not even close to the extent that the Gaza thing can be documented at all. They have no interest in it because it is not the primarily white Western civilization against the poor, colonialized, downtrodden brown people. That's why this is getting so much attention, even if the media jackasses don't know that, because that's the schooling they got from K through grad school is that's the only thing that matters on earth. Ridiculous.
Jack Armstrong
That's a good idea, pointing that out. That's what should be pointed out all the time. Hey, there's a bunch of these going on around the world. Why do we only focus on one and demand in one instance that the one side should stop? How come you're not yelling at whoever's in charge in Yemen and killing and starving people? Or in this particular African nation?
Unknown
Well, there was just going back a few years, the whole situation in the Balkans with the Serbs and the Croats and the Muslims and all, when all the white people were slaughtering each other and it was unspeakable horror, the whole thing.
Jack Armstrong
When all.
Unknown
When white people were killing each other, no one cared. It's when they started killing vaguely brownish people for precisely the same reasons in precisely the same place. Then that became a cause celeb.
Jack Armstrong
That is the most underappreciated part of this whole story. We should talk about that more later, but we got to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, July 29th. We're almost out of July, people. The year 2025. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.
Unknown
Okay, let's begin then. Officially, according to FCC rules and regs, the show starts at mark. Our biggest problem is we have so.
Jack Armstrong
Much growth that the Fed won't. What the. Oh, my.
Unknown
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I just feel like enough with the economy's booming.
Jack Armstrong
That's Jim Cramer, economist Jim Cramer on cnbc, dropping an F bomb because he was so excited about the Trump economy and he's not a Trump fan. Dropped an F bomb and apologized endlessly. His co host said, it's okay, we're on cable. It's okay. He just felt horrible and then he tweeted about it later in the day. I'd like to apologize to all the listeners. It's like, do you walk around Quite hinged but do you walk around the world? I don't like it either, but it gets thrown around a fair amount.
Unknown
I appreciate the apology Jim, but you're okay. Try not to do it again. We're okay.
Jack Armstrong
We got Katie's headlines on the way. More news of the day. I hope you can stay here.

Jack Armstrong
Not sure I completely made my point. Here comes some salty language from the text line. Somebody texted Jack, you're an Ass licking Israeli shill, which is pretty hard. Wait a minute. I agree it's harsh, but I. My, my. Maybe I didn't make this clear. I don't know what's happening in Gaza, but neither do you. If you're quoting the Gaza Health Ministry, you can't use that as your statistic and tell me you know what's going on. That doesn't work.
Unknown
That's your source. As the A L, I, s, I.
Katie Greene
Will be starting all slams with ass licking.
Jack Armstrong
If your source.
Unknown
Oh, no, no, no, no. That's enough of that. Seriously. If your source.
Jack Armstrong
If your source is Hamas, you don't get to make an argument about what's happening and tell me I'm a shill for the other side. Are you kidding? I mean, that's ridiculous. No, okay.
Unknown
No, I agree completely. Yeah. All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Greene. Hit it.
Katie Greene
Well right in that with ABC News, quote, worst case scenario, famine unfolding in Gaza.
Jack Armstrong
Right. That is the big headline because a couple of organizations who are aligned against all these world organizations are aligned against Israel and they take Gaza numbers verbatim no matter how many times they turn out not to be true.
Katie Greene
From the New York Times Starmer edging closer to recognizing Palestinian statehood.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, I didn't know that. Macron did in France last week.
Unknown
I didn't know even mean they don't have an intact government. You never ever, you never do that if there's not an identifiable government with whom you've established relations.
Jack Armstrong
Well, practically, yes, that is true. I think the. What it means is we've all held together for all these years and not recognizing them and now it's starting to.
Katie Greene
Break Apart from Breitbart.com 200 illegal alien child sex offenders arrested in Houston in six months.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Unknown
Yikes.
Jack Armstrong
Want to break into that story?
Unknown
Yeah, I want to know more about that from Reuters.
Katie Greene
Trump sets the new deadline for Putin for 10 to 12 days, not 50.
Unknown
Right, right. What's next? We'll find out in a few days.
Katie Greene
Wall Street Journal AI is wrecking an already fragile job market for college graduates.
Unknown
Yeah, I read that. So. No, go ahead.
Katie Greene
Yeah, no, just chat. GPT and other bots can do the entry level jobs.
Unknown
Yeah, and the statistics are already pretty striking. It's begun.
Jack Armstrong
So we got to go into that story in depth more too. That sounds really interesting that your previous story I want to mention about Trump and the sanctions around Russia again watching News Nation, their analysis was if Trump follows through on this. It'll be the harshest penalty on Russia, way beyond anything Biden or Obama ever even hinted at doing for the so called Putin shill.
Katie Greene
From study finds Major study warns that weak sleep rhythm is linked to 83 diseases I want to.
Jack Armstrong
Get into that story. You're bringing us lots of good stories today, Katie.
Katie Greene
Well, and finally the Babylon be Trump secures 15% tariff on extra you in British spelling.
Jack Armstrong
I agree.
Unknown
Hilarious. What's weak sleep rhythm? I don't even know what that means.
Jack Armstrong
Oh boy. You're probably a victim of it then.
Katie Greene
I live it every night.
Jack Armstrong
You're completely yeah, I don't know what weeks. I'm guessing. It's just you don't get into the normal going into REM and out thing that you're supposed to do and it's probably a character flaw. So we'll get into a lot of those stories coming up.

You probably heard that you're supposed to get like 10,000 steps a day, but according to new research, just 7,000 steps.
David Fromm
A day could be enough to improve your health.
Unknown
Do I hear sex? It really sounds like scientists have lowered their expectations for us. Explains why the new surgeon General warning on cigarettes says do not smoke during pregnancy unless it's your second kid.
David Fromm
Then whatevs.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I like the jokes, but the problem is the original 10,000 step thing was completely made up. The problem with a lot of health stats, and we're about to get into some here, is they're misinterpreted regularly. Oftentimes they're very, very small preliminary studies that the researchers themselves would never put out there as a national story to talk about. But it's something exciting about something that can cause cancer or eliminate cancer or whatever. And so the media goes crazy with it. And then there's studies that are paid for by like, you know, mattress companies or candy bars or whatever. And lo and behold, the study says eating more choc leads to better sex life or whatever, you know? So sure, you got to watch out for that. Before we get to that stuff, couple of things real quick. First of all, can we make a vow? We need to make a vow. I don't think we can keep it, but we should try. We should make a vow every day and work toward this goal to stop talking about cable news as if anybody's watching it because nobody is.
Unknown
So that's fine with me.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I agree. But anytime you talk about Jake Tapper said this or whatever, it might be interesting for some reason, but nobody is watching that show. Nobody. I'm just, I'm looking at the stats that Byron York just put out from Fox. It's more likely you're watching a Fox show, certainly. But CNN's total audience during their 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11pm hours.
Unknown
You're cherry picking.
Jack Armstrong
Added together, don't beat one showing of the Five, which is not even one of Fox's highly rated shows. Oh, so talking about anything on CNN or MSNBC really is. Who are you talking to?
Unknown
Boy, it is the ultimate example of something holding on to just any reputation based entirely on its gloried past and.
Jack Armstrong
By people who are old enough to remember when it mattered. If you're younger, you don't even know what it is, so.
Unknown
Right. Well, it's on in. In airports, inexplicably.
Jack Armstrong
We got this.
Unknown
Does CNN have a picture of the head of the FAA with a mule or something? How is CNN on an airports all over America? That is almost.
Jack Armstrong
That is almost certainly the explanation.
Unknown
Well, there you go.
Jack Armstrong
Anyway, moving along, we got this text about that horrible story in New York, the shooting. I just wanted to deal with it real quick in case I did use sloppy language. You're putting out fake news again. The shooter in New York never played in the NFL. I didn't mean to imply that he did. I thought I said he was a high school star and that's where his career ended.
Unknown
You never stated anything that could be taken to indicate that he played in the NFL. Well, I guess you made reference to other. Okay, yeah, whatever. That's fine. Okay, fine, he didn't play in the NFL, but heighing in there.
Jack Armstrong
He did seem to be blaming that brain malfunction that you can get from playing football though, as he had a note about that and shot himself in the chest and wants his brain to be studied, which doesn't make him some sort of anybody to look up to because he killed a bunch of innocent people like a scumbag.
Unknown
Right?
Jack Armstrong
If you didn't get enough sleep last night, you've doubled your chance of gangrene. I hope you're happy.
Unknown
Oh no, not another bout of gangrene.
Jack Armstrong
Another bout.
Unknown
It ruined my summer vacation.
Jack Armstrong
Oh wow. It certainly ruined my beach look, my beach body. Getting to big studies. This is pretty damned interesting and a bit of a breakthrough. I think. We've been talking about sleep stuff a lot. Everybody that I know deals with sleep issues or if you're getting enough sleep, they found a way pretty simple with having instead of self reporting about sleep, which is all you had to really go on up until fairly recently. Now you can have everybody wear these little devices that report on how much sleep you're actually getting. And there are way too many fake long sleepers. In all studies we've ever heard. They actually, that's what they actually call them. Fake long sleepers. In studies that we've heard about through our whole lives. It's people maybe like me who report a certain number of hours of sleep but actually get much less. If you actually wear a device that measures how much you're sleeping. Just because you're in bed and semi unconscious that amount of time doesn't mean you're actually sleep sleeping. And so they had people wear these devices trying to track how much like actually you were asleep sleepy.
Unknown
God.
Jack Armstrong
The numbers are a lot lower. And, and so those other numbers skewed everything we've ever had about sleep because you got a whole bunch of people in there claiming they. They sleep eight hours a night and they're actually sleeping six.
Unknown
Is anybody struck. Anybody else struck by the hilarious irony of self reporting sleeping habits? I mean if there's one. One period of my life I can't really account for, it's when I'm asleep.
Jack Armstrong
True. It's the largest study of its kind ever. Researchers strapped fitness Trackers on nearly 90,000 adults for a week. Followed their health for almost seven years. Among people who claimed to sleep more than eight hours nightly nearly of 22%. So a fifth were actually getting six or less. That's a big chunk of people who thought they were getting eight hours of sleep and are getting six or less.
Unknown
That's. That's enormous. Yes. Statistically that's like. Why are you even talking about the previous numbers? They're ridiculous.
Jack Armstrong
Right. But let me jump to the headlines from it. Other than the headline that everything you've ever heard about sleep studies is fake because of. What do they call them? Lying bastards. That's not what they call them. Fake long sleepers. Lying bastards would be too harsh.
Unknown
Be appropriate.
Jack Armstrong
Sleep rhythm matters more than sleep duration. Inconsistent or weak daily sleep rhythms were linked to 83 diseases. And then they list them. And we could get into that later with the sleep rhythm being when you're going in and out of REM like happens. If you've ever learned anything about sleep disease burden is comparable to smoking or obesity. Up to 37% of Parkinson's. These numbers can't be true, can they? Up to 37% of Parkinson's and 36% of type 2 diabetes could be attributed to disrupted sleep patterns.
Unknown
That's a lot. That. That's an extraordinary claim. I am. I got my fur up.
Jack Armstrong
Me too.
Unknown
I'm very Free.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Unknown
What's. What's our source here? What's our publication is this.
Jack Armstrong
It's a dirty Chinese research led by Dr. Quinn Chen, Army Medical University in Changuang Pek. Peking University.
Unknown
Okay.
Jack Armstrong
Are you concerned that the Chinese are trying to infiltrate our sleep devices? Don't trust China.
Unknown
Yeah, I'm. Yeah. I'm highly skeptical about all of this. The idea that. That bad sleep rhythms are more serious a problem than we understand, that that's perfectly reasonable. But a bunch of commies there at Peking? I thought we were supposed to say Beijing these days. Maybe they kept the name for the university.
Jack Armstrong
That's a good question. The study linked various sleep problems to 172 different diseases across virtually every system in the human body. Some diseases showed dramatic associations. For example, people with the most disrupted sleep rhythms faced more than triple the risk of age related physical debility. I don't really doubt that. Well, yeah, but triple. But I don't doubt that.
Unknown
Yeah. Your previous sentence about Parkinson's caught my ear. Partly because both my mom and my grandfather died of complications from Parkinson's. But so little is known about what causes Parkinson's. I mean, could there be some correlation without causation or. Half and a half? That's. That was utterly unclear to me.
Jack Armstrong
But my guess would be that whoever wrote this article took the numbers and presented it as if it's causation when it could just be those two things to go together for unknown reasons. But I wanted to get back this because I thought it was funny. Well, it could be.
Unknown
You've got a gene mutation that causes poor sleep rhythms in Parkinson's, for instance. Parkinson's, for instance.
Jack Armstrong
Sure. So people with bad sleep triple the risk of age related physical debility. Also, you doubled the risk of gangrene compared to those with the robust sleep patterns. Yeah. Again, don't I eliminate the any chance of gangrene by getting a tetanus shot?
Unknown
Ruined my beach vacation. It's. It's. It's hurt my golf game. The gangrene. It's terrible.
Jack Armstrong
How many people have you ever known who've gotten gangrene? Unless you're 180. 80 years old.
Unknown
My dating life has been poor for it. Listen, you're a great guy, but you're. You're gangrenous.
Jack Armstrong
Well, I saw.
Unknown
You said to me.
Jack Armstrong
I saw your hinge profile and you mentioned the gangrene right up toward top. So it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone.
Unknown
Oh my goodness.
Jack Armstrong
So this sentence, this is the one you're having Trouble with. And I don't blame you. Researchers estimated that up to 37 of Parkinson's. Parkinson's disease risk. Exactly.
Unknown
Sure what that means? Nothing. Sorry, I hate to be killjoy.
Jack Armstrong
You're not killing anything for me. I didn't write this study. I have no investment in this.
Unknown
You and Katie brought it to us. We need a meeting. A long meeting.
Jack Armstrong
Okay.
Unknown
Questions. Long meeting. Prolonging questions.
Jack Armstrong
I would not be surprised if a lot of the problems we have though, in the modern world is people not getting decent sleep.
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah. And I've become re. Re. Re. Re. Re convinced about the omnipresence of screens and smartphones being a reason for people's mental problems recently.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Unknown
I heard it presented in a religious context by a man of the cloth who was repeating what I think man has known for. For thousands of years. But. Well, I'll just say what he said. Leave time in your life for God. Leave time in your life for prayer and meditation and contemplation. Put down your damn screen.
Jack Armstrong
You know, I didn't even do this on purpose. It has just kind of happened for a variety of reasons. But I've been on this kick all summer long of at sunset. I schedule my evening around this. At sunset, I ride my bike to the edge of town. It's about two and a half miles. And then I'm looking at a wheat field. I'm from Kansas, so I like seeing the sunset over wheat fields. So I'm there, I'm looking at this wheat field with the sunset. And I do this combination of prayer and affirmations and just kind of talking to myself or whatever. I don't bring my phone. And I do it every night. And it has become like my favorite part of the day. Like I just say, oh boy, I got to get this done. Because the sunset's coming. Because it's just. There's clearly some like, nourishment I'm getting from that that I look forward to it. And I really go out of my way to make sure I've arranged so that I can do it.
Unknown
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Just organically making me want to do it every night.
Unknown
Yeah, I. I have a similar ritual. I drink myself incoherent and fall asleep muttering angrily about the people who've wronged me with fox on really loud some nights. Yes, you do you man.
Jack Armstrong
You do you. I. I've actually been lately thinking, how am I going to keep this going when the days are shorter and the Sun's sitting at 5:30 and dinner and blah, blah, blah. It's rain. I don't know, but I'm going to miss it. I got to come up with a with a substitute for when the beautiful weather is over because it has become super important to me.
Unknown
It's not as good. Videotape it then watch it on your.
Jack Armstrong
Screen, carry it around on my phone.
Unknown
But don't like say wow, that was really good. That was really soothing. Now that I have my screen open though, let's do a little doom scrolling.
Jack Armstrong
No, no. Right. We got Mailbag on the way and some more news of the day, Trump said. I think Israel's being unfairly criticized for what's going on in Gaza. I'll say that I think all the news organizations taking the health ministry of Hamas at face value is ridiculous. But Trump said something so dang stupid last night about the whole thing. About the whole thing? Are you kidding me?
Unknown
Sorry Trump fans. We know he's doing great stuff. Doing great stuff, but he said some.
Jack Armstrong
Dumb stuff anyway, so we got Mailbag on the way. Stay here.

Hard news.
Jack Armstrong
Got a funny comedy thing about what kids read in school today versus what we read as kids and why they're so weak. That is very funny.
Unknown
Yeah, I've got a great school related feature myself later on. Let's get a freedom loving quote of the day. Was going to continue on with the big man, William Outrage Taft, but got a nice note from Jan who was enjoying our series of Thomas Soul quotes and sent along a couple of her own. So I thought, what the heck. Top of mind, I'll do it today. Two quotes. Number one, when people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination. Absolutely true. Witness the universities. And the second one, which I love. If you don't believe in the innate unreasonableness of human beings, just try raising children. The great Thomas Sowell with a tip of the cap to his fellow parents.

Jack Armstrong
Well, yeah, that or we're just talking about something that's irrelevant. So.
Unknown
Right.
Jack Armstrong
No, what's the point?
Unknown
Let's see, on the topic, the unfortunate topic, the regrettable topic of the so called Burbank butt sniffer yesterday, a guy's been repeatedly arrested for squatting behind women and, and, and apparently smelling them. Arrested over and over again. Turned loose on the streets. Over and over. Bill in central Mexico. Right. Well, buenos dias, Bill. Hey, give the guy a break. If a male or female can identify as the opposite sex than a man can self identify as a dog. Haven't you seen dogs sniffing peoples and other dogs butts? It's coarse Point, Bill, but a fair one. I was just reading how the polygamy movement has really taken hold. If you can have gay marriage, you ought to be able to have a throuple or a quadruple or two moms and one dad in a couple of different states. There are court rulings out and the argument during the argument about gay marriage that was made was that, well, this will lead to marriage being anything you want it to be. You know, I always thought not necessarily. But Bill's point is it Bill? Yeah. Is that if I can identify as a different sex completely in defiance of the biological reality, well, why can't I claim to be a different species with straight face? It seems like that would never happen. But I've seen a similar movie before.
Jack Armstrong
Isn't this the kind of the argument though? What's next? Marrying dogs about gay marriage?
Unknown
Yeah, but a different degree. Wouldn't you say a throuple is between like gay marriage and marrying dogs?
Jack Armstrong
Definitely.
Unknown
Yeah. Okay, let's see. This is from Aaron on the same topic of the B essing man from Burbank. You guys can joke all you want on your rarely funny fascist adjacent AM radio show.
Jack Armstrong
Wow, that's a good phrase. Don't let that one slip by too quick. Rarely funny, fascist. Fascist adjacent.
Unknown
Okay, yeah, some good writing all. All through. But rising aggression, boundary violations and bizarre dominance rituals are in fact increasing under ecological and social collapse. What you're calling quote butt sniffing is just one expression of how climate driven stress, economic instability and collapsing norms hit vulnerable group groups hardest. Especially men who are conditioned to assert power when everything else is out of control. Ignoring this link isn't humor. It's part of the same colonial white supreme capitalist mindset that created the climate crisis in the first place. Deny the science, mock vulnerable groups, pretend individual behavior exists outside of systemic collapse. Pretend? Pretending this isn't happening is a white denial privilege.
Jack Armstrong
I get it.
Unknown
That is some fine parody. It is pretty well written, sir. Fascist adjacent.
Jack Armstrong
Why I oughta I don't agree with Donald Trump's view of the so called famine that's going on in Gaza. Among other things. We'll get into in hour two.

Podcast Summary: Armstrong & Getty On Demand – "The Yolking Has Begun"
Release Date: July 29, 2025
Hosts: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty
Produced by: iHeartPodcasts
Episode Title: The Yolking Has Begun
The episode kicks off with Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty delving into the precarious state of the Democratic Party's approval ratings. They highlight unprecedented lows that have not been seen in at least two generations.
Jack Armstrong [04:00]: "I just wondered, is it been the Republicans ever been that low?"
Unknown Guest [04:25]: "No, that would be the answer. In fact, not within... Well, the Democrats are 14 points lower—nine points lower than the Republicans have ever been."
This stark comparison underscores the shifting political landscape, raising concerns about the party's future viability.
Armstrong and Getty critique the media's selective coverage of tragic events, emphasizing how location and demographics influence the extent of media attention.
Jack Armstrong [05:09]: "A nut job in Reno and a casino killed three people yesterday. This dude killed four people. That's only a one person difference... a lot of the coverage has to do with the location."
They argue that incidents involving predominantly white Western societies receive disproportionate attention compared to similar events in other regions, such as Reno.
The hosts discuss former President Donald Trump's remarks and actions, particularly focusing on his statements regarding Gaza and his promotional activities.
Jack Armstrong [07:30]: "I don't like it either, but it gets thrown around a fair amount."
They express discomfort with Trump's behavior, including his dual role as a political figure and businessman, contrasting it with the Biden family's public-private wealth dynamics.
A significant portion of the conversation centers on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, critiquing how media outlets report conflicting statistics from sources like the Gazan Ministry of Health.
Jack Armstrong [09:46]: "Health officials say... Oh, the Ministry of Health. So we're asking the Nazi party for the official stats on how many Germans have been killed by the allied forces."
They draw parallels between the selective reporting on Gaza and other global tragedies, questioning the motivations behind such focused coverage.
The discussion shifts to recent sleep research, challenging long-held beliefs about sleep duration and its impact on health.
Jack Armstrong [34:02]: "If you didn't get enough sleep last night, you've doubled your chance of gangrene. I hope you're happy."
They explore a study from Peking University that links disrupted sleep rhythms to a myriad of health issues, questioning the validity and sources of such research.
Unknown Guest [37:39]: "A day could be enough to improve your health."
The hosts express skepticism about the study's claims, particularly given its origins, and discuss the broader implications of misinterpreted health statistics.
Armstrong and Getty share their personal routines aimed at improving sleep and mental health amidst modern life's challenges.
Jack Armstrong [40:43]: "I've been on this kick all summer long of at sunset. I schedule my evening around this... It has become like my favorite part of the day."
They emphasize the importance of disconnecting from screens and incorporating rituals like prayer, affirmations, and nature observation to enhance well-being.
The hosts engage in humorous discussions about societal issues, including controversial topics like polygamy and bizarre criminal cases.
Jack Armstrong [51:33]: "Isn't this the kind of argument though? What's next? Marrying dogs about gay marriage?"
These light-hearted segments provide comedic relief while subtly critiquing societal norms and debates.
In the mailbag portion, listeners share their thoughts, leading to critiques of cable news consumption and societal behaviors.
Dave from South Carolina [49:58]: "Stop mentioning cable news. Yes, finally you've realized it. You guys give them the air they need to keep breathing. Knock it off."
The hosts respond with agreement, reinforcing their earlier stance on the irrelevance of cable news in contemporary discourse.
Throughout the episode, several impactful quotes stand out:
These quotes encapsulate the episode's critical themes on political disillusionment, media bias, health misconceptions, and societal denialism.
As the episode wraps up, Armstrong and Getty reflect on the day's discussions, reiterating the need for balanced media consumption and informed political opinions. They tease upcoming segments, promising deeper dives into the topics covered and more listener engagements.
Final Thoughts
In "The Yolking Has Begun," Armstrong and Getty offer a candid and critical examination of current political dynamics, media biases, and societal issues. Through engaging dialogue and incisive commentary, they encourage listeners to question mainstream narratives and seek a more nuanced understanding of the world's complexities.
