Bethenny Frankel
Frankel from Just Be with Bethany 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. Do 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 justfoodfordogs.com right now and get 50% off your first box. No code.

And now here.
Jack Armstrong
Here's Armstrong and Getty.
No Kings Protester
Live.
Joe Getty
Welcome to a brand new week of the Armstrong and Getty show from the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Last week of last few days of March and today we are toiling under the title of the show. The protests worked.
Jack Armstrong
We don't have a King or the Marines ain't there to play.
Public Investing Advertiser
I like both those headlines.
Joe Getty
Want to discuss those in full. But first that that clip we play on Monday mornings of the band. Yes, like the middle school. The middle school band sounding horrible. Sorry I'm drinking my coffee which actually fits in with my band comment. My son is in a high school band and they competed with a whole bunch of other high schools in Los Angeles over the weekend and they were the best band at something or other and won some sort of award and the band is all excited. My son didn't care, but I'm sure band director, who's awesome was really, really happy about that. Anywho, I'm going to be drinking all the coffee today because they got home at 1:30 in the morning.
Public Investing Advertiser
Oh my.
Joe Getty
So I went and picked him up at 1:30 and came home and slept a couple hours and came to work.
Jack Armstrong
Oh my, the band contests.
Public Investing Advertiser
I remember them well.
Joe Getty
I do too.
Jack Armstrong
All day suckers. We were driving as far as they
Joe Getty
did no and they turned it into a whole thing. So they did the band contest for a couple days and then Disneyland for a couple of days. It was a very long trip, but which was more fun than any of the band trips I did.
Jack Armstrong
That was mostly hard shoes and ill fitting slacks and drive from one anonymous suburb to another to go into a high school gym much like ours and then drive home again
Joe Getty
at one time. Now this is band talk. Nobody tunes in for band talk but
Jack Armstrong
high school band talk.
Joe Getty
One time, I think it was junior high. Anyway, either way, we were at a contest and we were so bad that like one of the judges came up and did some like, instruction and stuff, like to I think, show the band teacher, which was just humiliating for her. She was only there for one though, I think show the band teacher that, like, look, I could get this out of them in like 15 minutes. What are you doing?
Jack Armstrong
Pants?
Ryan Reynolds
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
It's like if a coach came out of the crowd at the NCAA tournamen and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're running the wrong defense. Guards, guards, come here. Here's what you got to do.
Joe Getty
Yeah, standing there, it would be exactly like that. And you see, I, I taught them that defense in like five minutes. So is her.
Jack Armstrong
And that guy attacks the ball and then he goes back down, sits down, drinks his beer.
Joe Getty
Duke should have tried that yesterday, but they didn't. Boom. The Internet meme of every time Duke loses and a buzzer beater, an angel gets its wings, is my favorite meme of the weekend.
Jack Armstrong
Anti Duke ists, which is practically everybody.
Joe Getty
I saw people, I saw people putting out videos from being on planes where everybody was watching the game. And when Duke lost, the whole plane erupted in excitement.
Jack Armstrong
Is there as polarizing an entity in sports?
Joe Getty
I don't think so.
Jack Armstrong
Polarizing is the wrong word. You're either pro Duke or you're anti Duke. There's no like, it's not like Texas. You got your Longhorns fans, and the most of the rest of humanity couldn't give a damn whether they win or lose.
Joe Getty
Well, I think I've met one pro Duke person in my whole life, so it ain't a lot of people. But I think it's because you combine elite college, which some people hate automatically with winning all the time. Like, they're the New England Patriots. You combine those two things together, right, and you end up with this. Unlike, you know, it's, it's, it's quite the combination. Be like if Harvard won all the time. I mean, what would that be like?
Jack Armstrong
Right? Right. Obnoxious, horrible, Tough to take. Yeah. All I know is my fight and align I are in the final four. I say that my stress level rises. It's very important we all pull together and wear the proper clothes and sit the proper distance from the TV and do everything we've done during the previous wins and don't change anything. Same shirt, same everything.
Joe Getty
Right to your titles of the show today, the no Kings thing. We've got a great clip. We're going to play for the opening clip. Yeah, thank God it worked from one of the. That we, we ended up with no Kings. So must have been a successful protest. Oh my God. There was some insufferable stuff over the weekend. Did you see Bruce Springsteen and Jane Fonda together? Boy, if you're an 80 year old protester, you really enjoyed that.
Jack Armstrong
An 80 year old protester with no self awareness. I mean seriously. Bruce and Jane and Trey Hobbs.
Joe Getty
Oh my God. Her heyday of protest was 66, something like that.
Jack Armstrong
We have so much great audio for folks really from the so called no Kings protest group therapy session for people seeking a purpose for their lives.
Joe Getty
And your other title was involved with
Jack Armstrong
our troops headed green there to play
Joe Getty
and more and more troops headed there and more ships and more everything.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I think Car island is about to become Trump Island.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it's a matter of decent reason, matter of when. Funny thing, first of all, the Sunday morning talk shows become more and more relevant on a week by week basis and most of you never watched them anyway, but they, they, they really have no relevance now. But the media coverage outside of Fox is just so uniformly negative. It's, it's disturbing to me. It's amazing how far they go out of their way to try to have the most negative view on any story around a war that their own country is participating in. And I don't need the media to be cheerleaders like their William Randolph Hearst and the Spanish American War, but to just have the most negative view of everything. And one hilarious moment was John Carl on ABC this week Yesterday opened with a quote from the Art of War by what's his name? Who wrote that?
Jack Armstrong
Sun Tzu.
Joe Getty
Sun Tzu's Art of War. And the quote was something like the most important thing as a leader in war is to be inscrutable to your enemy. And then he goes on to bitch for, for, for 20 minutes about how nobody has any idea what Donald Trump's. He says one thing one day and another thing another day. I'm like, you read that quote and you're not putting that information together. I just, I don't even know what's happening here.
Public Investing Advertiser
Look up inscrutable in the dictionary. You can even do it online.
Jack Armstrong
You don't need to own a dictionary.
Joe Getty
But I assume you picked that quote on purpose. But then why the constant compl Every one of your Republican guests on what is he talking about? He says one thing one day and another thing another day. It's hard for anybody to have any idea what he's about to say.
Jack Armstrong
What's the word I'm looking for?
Joe Getty
What's the word? Maybe I thought what.
Jack Armstrong
Hey, I tell you what, on a slightly more serious note, I came across some poll numbers of, well, folks in general, but they broke it out by political party as to their opinion on should America be a world power or even a regional power. And the level of self hatred and or just anti Americanism of like a quasi religious feel surprised me among the left. I thought I had a pretty good feel for it. But a lot of people on the left are like we shouldn't even be a power in our own neighborhood. We should let other countries run everything. And these are children. These are stupid little children. I'm sorry if you find that demeaning. This is an odd, odd experiment we're running here as an empire.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And as I always say, I don't know if anybody's ever done it before. I don't know if anybody. Oh, surely not. I don't know. I've never read any history about any empire turning self hating like this.
Jack Armstrong
There's never been an empire so prosperous, comfortable and soft.
Joe Getty
Which is probably what's driving it. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
None that I'm familiar with. Yeah.
Joe Getty
We should start the show because the opening clip will kind of fit in with that sort of thing. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It is. How did it get to be Monday, March 30th already the year 2026 where Armstrong and getting. We approve of this program.
Jack Armstrong
Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and regs. Here we go at mark.
No Kings Protester
There is only one solution. Communist revolution. Communist revolution. There is only one solution.
Jack Armstrong
There is only one sol.
No Kings Protester
Communist revolution.
Joe Getty
So that's from, that's from the no Kings rally in New York City. And when I first saw that they the camera was kind of in on like five people with a hammer and sickle flag. And I thought okay, you know, you get five communists there, whatever. But then they backed out and went to later in the parade and there was a giant contingent of communists with the hammer and sickle flags. I mean it had to be a hundred people out of a giant, giant parade. But there were a bunch of communists there.
No Kings Protester
Communism is gonna win, baby.
Joe Getty
The, the ideology that killed more people than any other maybe ever in the history of the world had a big contingent marching in the no Kings protest. And it doesn't make the news if you have a, a right wing protest, which there rarely are because we have jobs and children and we don't have time for that sort of thing and we think protests are stupid. But when you have one near the right like the Tea Party, if you had, if you could find two people in the country you could claim had a racist sign or something, that was the focus. Yes, in New York City you got hundreds of communists marching and, and all they say on the evening newscast is the biggest no Kings protest yet. As many people came out of their homes to protest Donald Trump. You're not even going to mention that
No Kings Protester
communism is going to win?
Jack Armstrong
Barry, two thoughts. Number one, I, I was struck by the same thing you were, that if we had even something close to honest coverage of these things, it would be a completely different reality in the minds of the American people who don't go to the idiotic protests. But you know, I might as well wish for, you know, Sauvignon blanc falling from the clouds to fill my glass for free. It's not going to happen. I just need to get over.
Joe Getty
Boy, that'd be weird.
Jack Armstrong
And the second thing is, well, and sticky too. When the sun came out. The second thing is to hear young jackasses chanting for communism is like hearing somebody chant there can be no compromise. Stick hot pokers in your eyes because the outcome is every bit as horrifying and it's every bit as guaranteed to be horrifying.
Joe Getty
What is the what?
Jack Armstrong
It's what?
Joe Getty
Could there be a worse more ill
Jack Armstrong
advised chant than yay, yay.
No Kings Protester
Communism is going to win?
Joe Getty
Barry, you dumb bastards. How did we go from. If there was a sniff of you're a communist, you could get booted out of Hollywood or government or your job or end up in jail or your life ruined or all kind of stuff to communists march in the street in New York City and nobody pays any attention.
Jack Armstrong
There is an excellent answer to that question and it reminds me of what I've learned from James Lindsay, the Darvo technique. You deny the charge, then you attack and you reverse victim and offender. So the excesses of the anti communist thing back in the day, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, even though the State Department was riddled with communists, feel I can recommend several books if you'd like to Hollywood, the media riddled with communists, absolutely lousy with communists. But some of the excesses of the right were seized upon by the left. And because partly because they had the mouthpiece of the media academia, they seized on those excesses and said the excesses are the entire movement. The excesses is what you should judge on the whole anti communism thing on and they successfully transmitted that message. So everybody saw it. And we grew up with the idea that oh you know, it was all McCarthy and the witch trials and the blackballing of poor honest people. That's all that was. And they left out the rest of the iceberg under the water which was all the communism. They they were successful.
Joe Getty
Now you get to march in the street and nobody pays any attention.
No Kings Protester
Apparently communism is gonna win, baby.
Jack Armstrong
What the right wingy counter marches are are coming coming back. Wow.
Joe Getty
I'd like to have that guy in the air. I wish we could talk to him. Love to hear his theories. Anyway, we got Katie's headlines on the way. We got to get into a lot of news that happened over the weekend. We got to talk Tiger woods at some point. Lots of good stuff coming up. Stay here.

Isaiah Thomas
As a kid, you always dream of those moments. Like I bet every kid was in their backyard or at a community center or counting down. 10, nine, eight, seven. You know, wanting to be Michael Jordan, wanting to be Kobe Bryant. So that moment for me was like, it took me back to a kid like, Kobe Bryant is my favorite player of all time. The Lakers are my favorite team. Like, obviously. So to be in Staples center, to have the last possession, it's a tie game in the championship setting. Like all of that is going through my mind at that point, which is crazy to even think of. Like, I should be focused on the last play. Like I'm thinking about what would Kobe do? I'm thinking about it's the Staples Center. Like, it's the Perfect situation.

something about the straight Hormos yesterday that I didn't know. The Straight of Hormuz that I didn't know. Yeah, I'm operating on like three hours sleep. It's going to be a long day anyway.
Jack Armstrong
The second language.
Joe Getty
That's all coming up.
Jack Armstrong
Stay here. Yeah. So bad. Oh, it's a bad feeling. All right, let's figure out who's reporting what is Lee store who's getting ready ready.
News Reporter
From the Alphabet Networks. ABC Trump threatens Iran infrastructure strike strikes if talks fail. CNN Iran called the US Proposal to end the war unrealistic as the war escalates and oil prices rise. And NBC Iran says it's quote, waiting for a possible US ground assault as 3,500 troops arrive in the Middle East.
Jack Armstrong
Here's the key to the Karg island argument. You can't take out every missile that threatens the Strait of Hormuz. So you take something from them they can't live without as leverage. Now you're gonna stop firing missiles, ain't ya?
News Reporter
From the New York Post, NBC apologizes after mistakenly airing wrong Tiger woods crash footage.
Jack Armstrong
Well, there's so many.
Joe Getty
Oh my God. Yeah, I can't wait to talk about Tiger Woods. Unbelievable.
News Reporter
From the Wall Street Journal. Everyone hates iPhone.
Joe Getty
Autocorrect.
News Reporter
An update fixes one of the biggest problems.
Joe Getty
Oh, I want to hear about that.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, but only one.
News Reporter
Only one.
Jack Armstrong
Don't get excited.
News Reporter
From the Guardian quote, he can say he went to the gym. People are pumping themselves with fat from corpses to perk up their pecs, boobs and butts.
Joe Getty
Corpse fat. Where do you get that at, like GNC or someplace?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
News Reporter
Corpsefat.com study find boring diet is best. Why eating the same healthy foods every day may be the key to weight loss.
Joe Getty
I heard somebody say the other day it's one of the best things I've ever heard about this. If you really enjoy more than like one meal a week, you're not eating, right?
Jack Armstrong
Oh, true.
Joe Getty
But I know. I hate that. I thought that's probably true and probably awful.
News Reporter
Wait, more than one?
Joe Getty
Yeah, you shouldn't really, really enjoy your meals. It's a bad sign. Unless you're one of those weirdos that's gotten used to, you know, lettuce and kale or something.
Jack Armstrong
Kale for dessert after your lettuce.
News Reporter
Okay, this one from the Babylon Bee. Emphasis from the Babylon Bee. I did not write this. Black half of Tiger woods tased by cops after Asian half crashes the car.
Joe Getty
Well that's.
Jack Armstrong
That's provocative. Trafficking stereotypes I'm surprised at the Babylon. I actually insisted Katie read that headline, partly because it's funny and partly because it's it's a sign that the woke apocalypse is clearly over. You think the fact that the Babylon Bee would go ahead with that gently ethnic related

headline? Who doesn't roll a vehicle a couple of times in their lifetimes on a suburban street in perfectly okay weather?

An anti war message is central to
Jack Armstrong
the latest no Kings protests. Millions on the streets across the country from New York to Austin to Los Angeles.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I thought that was interesting. The anti war angle to the no Kings thing.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, I that's John Carl of ABC News participating in the cleansing job that we were discussing the last half hour when the mainstream media reduced the no Kings protest to whatever completely acceptable vanilla oversimplification they chose to pass it off as. Interestingly, your even slightly more conservative media pointed out over the weekend that, wow, I went and there are signs anti war, there are signs about anti ice, there's all sorts of other immigration, other pet causes. It's just a huge mishmash of I don't like Trump and or I'm a progressive. And so there doesn't appear to be any specific purpose to this other than look at us, we're all together.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I'm looking at my town usa, which had a peaceful protest. Nothing got out of hand like it did in Los Angeles. But you're right, the lots of Stop ice, keep ICE out of our schools, that sort of stuff, which, you know, it's own particular issue.
Jack Armstrong
Right, right. And then you've got. And communists and the unions were a big presence. The public employee unions, teachers unions, all wanting more, you know, more sweet, sweet milky money from the government teeth and just, it's just a mishmash of we're progressives and we want more of the things we want. But again, it was puffed up and polished and made simplified by the media just to be presented as some sort of monolithic anti Trump gloriousness. Let's, let's, let's start with off putting. We'll move through hilarious and then get back to off putting. This is Believe it or not. Oh, this is so short. Jane Fonda and Bruce Springsteen. Believe it or not. 43.
Randi Weingarten
Michael, guess where we are. Guess who's here. No Kings do it.
Joe Getty
A couple of old hippies in the tent before Bruce goes on stage and sings that ridiculous Minneapolis song up there in Minnesota.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, and then this chant we played you earlier. 42. This is New York City.
No Kings Protester
There is only one solution. Communist revolution. Communist revolution. There is only one solution. There is only one solution.
Jack Armstrong
And as Jack pointed out, there were many hundreds of people amongst this group. Communism's gonna win, baby. Shouts the young man.
No Kings Protester
Communism is gonna win, baby.
Joe Getty
And again, anything on the right, if you can find a couple of bad actors, you, you taint the entire protest movement with those bad actors. On the left side of things though, that doesn't happen at all. You got hundreds of communists marching and that just. Well, they're just a subset of an overall resist movement, which we can all agree with here.
Jack Armstrong
The lovely Randy Weingarten explains why she's anti war. I mean anti ice, I mean pro immigration or what are you for?
Randi Weingarten
The only way the government acts for the people, listens to the people, responds to the people, is if it is a government of the People, by the people, for the people. That's why standing up and showing up, being in solidarity, like millions of us are doing today, is so important. It is the only way we can get the government to act in our interest, act in our kids interests, act in working people's interests. It's the only way we can tackle housing costs and health care costs and child care costs.
Jack Armstrong
This is taking years off my life retirement.
Joe Getty
I was about to say. So we need to be in solidarity about what? So, you know the most famous protests that practically the only protests ever did anything in American history, civil rights protests, I guess the anti Vietnam War protests, which would fit in roughly with it. But in both cases, you know exactly what the protest was for. It was very clear.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
She just rattled off rent and schools and ice and all kinds of different things. So I just, I don't even know what the protest is about.
Jack Armstrong
Well, that's what it is. It's actually, you've. The answer to your question is kind of your. Your question. It's the permanent omnic cause. It is, as you've called it, the NATO of grievance or what have you, where your teachers union swears to the transgender crowd, we'll stick with you if you'll stick with us. And the we want more money to the homeless industrial complex crowd tells both of those people, we'll stick with you if you'll stick with us. And the welfare fraudsters in Minneapolis say, all right, you cover our ass and we're with y'.
Coldwater Creek Advertiser
All.
Jack Armstrong
That's the solidarity she's talking.
Joe Getty
Yeah, because I did see a. And I have no idea what percentage this was of the overall thing anywhere, but I did saw see some dudes with women's breasts in their shirts off. So you were seeing hooters walking around with signs that said, something like, you know, donald Trump keep your hands off of this woman's penis, or something like that.
Jack Armstrong
Which is an interesting can do answered the White House. Meanwhile, as was documented on the show Friday, and it was, I think it was the free press writing about how heavily 40 plus white these protests are. It's a bunch of your Vietnam era types and the people who admired it, who want some of that spirit coming out for this, this stuff in heavy measure, not exclusively by any means, but Michael, we'll start with 44 and go from there. Here is a liberal white granny on the street explaining what she's all about.
Joe Getty
There's a lack of diversity here today, that it's mostly people who look like you and I, and I just this is not.
Protest Participant
It is not for black people, for people of color to be. To get out on the street. They're at risk when they do that. If anybody's gonna get arrested here, it's gonna be a black person. It is not safe for them. And they don't need to participate. We need to walk in their name.
Joe Getty
Gotcha.
Jack Armstrong
Okay, well, okay, that's not at all paternalistic. So the white granny is walking for the poor black folk who clearly be arrested right away. You remember that during the George Floyd riots, right? Oh, Lord.
Joe Getty
Next clip. What do you think about voter ID?
Jack Armstrong
Do you think it's racist?
Protest Participant
It's 100% a tactic to control the population and prevent people from voting so that the only votes that. So that the. So that. That the gerrymandering can work. So that white voters can vote in white Christian males.
Jack Armstrong
What is it? 76% of Democrats believe in voter ID.
Joe Getty
Yeah. I know some people on the right with similarly wacky views. They're not mainstream anyway. But between like people like her and people like some of the people I'm thinking about just. I don't know how we function as a society. I mean, she's so far off of reality.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah.
Joe Getty
But I am. I imagine she spends a lot of time taking in news. It's not like she's uninformed. My guess would be. But she takes in tons of information.
Jack Armstrong
She takes in propaganda.
Joe Getty
Well, right, but that, that's my point. That's what everybody's doing now. We're just a couple of years away from. There's nobody left who even comes close to having an idea what's actually happening.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
And I don't know what happens then.
Jack Armstrong
I'm trying to come up with a nickname for. It's. It's coming together. Play the last clip.
Joe Getty
Michael, have you been voting blue your most of your life?
Protest Participant
I voted blue in the womb.
Joe Getty
Wonderful.
News Reporter
Yeah.
Joe Getty
If you had to vote for Republican J.D.
Jack Armstrong
vance or Rubio, which one would you pick if you had to?
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Protest Participant
I would slit my throat.
Joe Getty
That made you really. That made you wide Eyed Katie, the. I voted blue in the womb. You see, the funny thing about that is.
Klarna Legal Disclaimer
Yeah.
News Reporter
No ish.
Joe Getty
Your. Your crowd might kill you in the womb. So.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, dark and accurate. How do you like Che Guevira? Or let's see.
Joe Getty
I get it.
Jack Armstrong
Che Guevira. That's. The nickname's got. It's close.
Joe Getty
Oh my God.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, Carlene Marks.
Joe Getty
But you know, I'd be happy to focus on her side because there's plenty of her but that poll, that worldwide poll we had from a couple of weeks ago, where we're the only country in the world where the. Where the majority thinks the other side is evil.
Jack Armstrong
Yes.
Joe Getty
Or immoral.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, I do.
Joe Getty
We can't function like this.
Jack Armstrong
That's right. Well, I tell you what. There was one speaker I think can bring us all together. That clip 48, Michael. And then we'll move on.
Joe Getty
What was that?
Jack Armstrong
I don't know.
Joe Getty
What was that? First thing they said.
Jack Armstrong
Some horse ass.
Joe Getty
What is that? Is that a lighting?
Jack Armstrong
Namaste. Or eventually she called for ISIS to.
Joe Getty
To take action.
Jack Armstrong
Or what?
Joe Getty
Or she stepped on attack by accident. I don't know what happened there.
Jack Armstrong
Or that's how you get the horses to come back to the barn. I don't. What was that?
Joe Getty
What do they look like? Did they have a sign? What? What? It's probably a white woman.
Jack Armstrong
More questions than answers.
Joe Getty
She has a master's degree in something. Almost certain.
Jack Armstrong
Well, if you see her walking around your neighborhood, you sure as hell want to keep her out of your house. And that's where Simply Safe Home Security comes into. Simplisafe's Active Guard Outdoor Protection can help prevent break ins before they happen.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah, your Active Guard Outdoor Protection would spot her right away before she gets in.
Jack Armstrong
I tell you what, you wake up in the middle of the night, she's in your bedroom making that noise. Your blood would run cold.
Joe Getty

Joe Getty
I'm despondent. You know, maybe it's because I was up all night long.
Jack Armstrong
No, no, it's not. There's a good reason to be despondent. Yeah, I'm wide aw despondent.
Joe Getty
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my God. I would so love to talk to some of the heavyweights of American journalism and ask them the question. When you see a conservative protest of some sort and it's 80% this, 10% this, 5% and 5% that, how do you report that? Do you focus on that? 5% that you find the most inflammatory or you know, most damning of the protest now on the left. Or do, do you do the same thing or do you ignore those 5% of radicals? And you know, they would probably lie, but I would just love to have them answer that question on the record, on microphone or camera, just to trot it out there. Oh my God, it's egregious.
Joe Getty
Yeah. That group of communists in New York City, I mean, biggest city in the country, got a whole bunch of communists marching with the hammer and sickle signs.
No Kings Protester
Communism is gonna win, baby.
Jack Armstrong
And seriously, it is up there with like swigging down gasoline in terms of being ill advised, advocating for communist. It's so, it's so monumentally mountainously stupid. It's hard to comprehend anybody actually saying it. Great Scott.
Joe Getty
I know. I would love to have heard interviews with lots of those young people dancing around with smiles on their face. What the hec hell they mean. I really, I honestly would. I can't imagine how they. They came to that view through years of being told that I. I don't even know what.
Jack Armstrong
And after I put down the impulse to. To beat it out of them. Yeah, I would like to know what their, what would you call it, their infl information infrastructure has been throughout their lives. How have they taken in info beat
Joe Getty
it out of them. What are the kick.
Jack Armstrong
What is worth. It's worth a try.
Joe Getty
Okay, we got Mailbag. Okay.
Jack Armstrong
Oh yes. So true.
Joe Getty
Oh my God.
Jack Armstrong

The LA Dodgers decided they'd test the line of what fans are willing to put up with in terms of costs, and they found the furthest out point and the feedback was overwhelming. We'll talk about that a little bit later. The $75 Shohei Ohtani souvenir Cup What?

Yeah, yeah. Unbelievable. I saw that too.

75 bucks for a plastic cup full of pop?

Here is your freedom Loving Quote of the day. Have I ever done this one before? From Thomas Edison There will one day spring from the brain of science, a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled and so abandoned war forever.
Joe Getty
Wow. I've probably heard that 10 times in my life, but I don't know. I don't remember hearing it. That's very interesting. That kind of fits in. I I. Well, he's wrong, but See Drones See 60 Minutes drone story last night. Want to talk about that a little bit later? Holy crap, was that frightening.
Jack Armstrong
Oh my. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Mailbag, drop us a Note. Mailbag@armstronggetty.com is the email address Frequent Correspondent J in Livermore what's missing from the Olympic announcement on banning trans women? Men is the term you're looking for. It didn't escape my notice that the IOC banned trans women, quote, unquote, but they didn't ban trans men, I. E. Women from competing with men.
Joe Getty
I wonder why? There's no advantage that men have over women, stupid.
Jack Armstrong
P.S. hot dogs are dogs.
Joe Getty
Oh man.
Jack Armstrong
That's from Ryan Newson, another frequent correspondent. Dear Sergetti and Duke Armstrong. I like that people get out and protest. I don't get what they're doing, but they are passionate. You don't want no kings, then do your God damn job. What I can't stand is members of the legislative branch talking about no kings.
Joe Getty
That's your job.
Jack Armstrong
Maybe do less than the bare minimum. We won't have to worry about the reach of the executive branch. So true.
Joe Getty
I think protests are mostly a worse a waste of time. Like 99% of the time they're bad group therapy. We need to move on.
Jack Armstrong
If you didn't hear that piece we talked about Friday, the bad group therapy thing. Grab the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. It's absolutely worth a listen by an author and psychotherapist. This is so interesting from Sideshow Bob. Guys, take a look at the information Google's Gemini AI provided to me Friday afternoon. Note the time. This was 23 minutes before the Tiger woods crash press conference started. This is one reason I don't want AI deciding when to fire nukes. And indeed he has a screen capture of Google Gemini AI readout Sheriff John Boudensek confirmed in the 5:00pm ET press conference. Remember, it hadn't happened yet that Tiger woods was not at fault in today's two vehicle accident. Investigators determined the other driver failed to yield right away causing the collision. Key updates Blah blah blah blah.
Joe Getty
I did that.
Jack Armstrong
Sobriety Authorities found no evidence of impairment for either driver. No citations or charges will be filed against Woods.
Joe Getty
Then a bleary eyed Tiger woods went
Jack Armstrong
off to jail all pilled up, having rolled over his vehicle for what, the third time?
Joe Getty
Whatever it is, it's none of your business.
Jack Armstrong
I think it is our business, Tiger. Stay off the sidewalks. Tiger's driving. Hire a blanking chauffeur, you moron.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I want to talk more about this later. His personality type and everything like that, but yeah, God dang it, if I had that kind of money I would never drive.

Let's see. Karen in beautiful Pioneer California writes, guys love the most depressing show on the air thing, but perhaps after all the sturm and drong you could offer some hours or hour. If that's all the hope we have of hope, particularly as we steam toward the 250th birthday of our country. I'm convinced there will be plenty of attempts to ruin the day. So looking forward to a little encouragement. That will not be the case.
Joe Getty
You're right, there will be plenty of attempts to ruin that day.
Jack Armstrong
I love that idea. Karen.
Joe Getty
Should we have one positive hour a week or a day or what?
Jack Armstrong
What should we shoot for or one positive day a week?
Joe Getty
I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
Or celebrating this wonderful country deliberately and intentionally and not getting caught. Not dancing to the tune of the leftist media. I love that idea.
Joe Getty
I don't have any problem with that. If we're going to talk about the founding of the country, I can stay endlessly positive about that pretty easily. But just in terms of the negative tone of the show, I wonder if we should have a positive hour or something.
Public Investing Advertiser
I don't.
Joe Getty
I don't know about one segment. One segment per day, right?
Jack Armstrong
Per week, A month. Paolo with a great note about how to understand quantum computing that we'll get to a little later.

Oh, can't wait.

Podcast Announcer
is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
In this episode, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty dive into the countrywide "No Kings" protests—nominally anti-Trump demonstrations that evolved into a grab bag of progressive causes, from anti-war and anti-ICE to the outright promotion of communism. The hosts dissect the media's handling of protest coverage, the presence of far-left ideologies, the incoherence of modern protest movements, and the growing polarization in America. Sprinkled through are their signature humor, mockery, and frank societal commentary.
Protests as a Progressive Gong Show (03:46; 27:39):
Communism Front and Center (12:00; 30:14; 40:18):
Left vs. Right Coverage:
Satire & The Babylon Bee (23:19):
Protest as Omnicause:
Diversity & the Optics of Protest (34:03):
Sunday Talk Shows Are Obsolete:
Tiger Woods Crash & AI Foresight Woes (21:58; 49:02):
Armstrong & Getty’s Ongoing Pessimism (49:36):
On protest incoherence:
On the spectacle of protest:
On communist chants at the march:
On media hypocrisy:
On polarization:
With characteristic irreverence, Armstrong & Getty question the purpose and coverage of modern protest culture, highlighting inconsistencies in media narratives and the dangerous normalization of extreme ideologies, while lamenting the loss of national cohesion. Their blend of mockery, concern, and cultural critique makes this episode both lighter fare and deeply sobering for listeners wrangling with American identity and polarization in 2026.
