Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty.
Ryan Seacrest
That call between Presidents Trump and Zelensky.
Joe Getty
We're doing very well with regard to Ukraine and Russia.
Jack Armstrong
And one of the things we are.
Joe Getty
Doing is signing a deal very shortly with respect to rare earths with Ukraine, which they have tremendous value in rare earth, and we appreciate that.
Ryan Seacrest
And so we're going to have a deal with them and then we're going to be in the mining business in Ukraine. Now, Zelensky responded to this. Here's a news report on that.
Joe Getty
Zelensky appearing to dismiss Trump's proposal.
Ryan Seacrest
The US Take ownership of Ukraine's nuclear.
Jack Armstrong
Power plants for long term security. All nuclear power plants belong to the people of Ukraine while leaving the door.
Ryan Seacrest
Open to one currently under Russian occupation. That is a completely different issue.
Jack Armstrong
We are open to discuss it.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay. I have no idea what's going on at this point.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, those are two different topics, the rare earth mining thing. And Trump just floated the idea off the top of his head. You know, he could help them with their energy plants, too.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay, we need to talk about this later. I'm worried about this myself. There have been 15, more than 15 of those swatting attacks against conservative influencers in the last week. Do you know what a SWAT thing is? It's really easy to do. I, I call the police and say, hey, Jim Jones at 1321 marking Mockingbird Lane. He's holding his wife, gunpoint. He just beat her up and he's holding her gunpoint. He says he's going to kill her. And then the cops show up, guns drawn at the door. Nothing has happened, nothing actually is happening. But guns drawn and there's the opportunity for something to go really, really wrong.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and at the best, at its best, it will be a terrifying and disconcerting experience for the people involved.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, sure, if I'm at home and I get boom, boom, boom, open up, I'm scared to death. Even if they're saying it's the police, Is it? I don't know if it's the police. I might have a gun when I.
Jack Armstrong
Show up at the door.
Ryan Seacrest
And then of course, I might get shot or they might get shot or all kinds of horrible things can happen. And this has become a, a tool that bad people are using to just disrupt, annoy, frighten their enemies. But anyway, 15 plus conservative influencers have been squatted, had a swatting attack in the last week.
Jack Armstrong
Wow, that's insane. I know. Pam Bondi has said we're gonna crack down on this like crazy and go after it. I certainly hope they do. It has resulted in injuries and death in the past. It's an incredibly dangerous thing.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, for everybody, for the cops and the person in the house.
Jack Armstrong
I mean, if you're in a rural area or a high crime area or something like that, and this has happened more than once and it's tragic, and you think it might be the cops or it might not. I'm gonna have a gun in my hand. When the cops who have been told something horrendous and violent was going on, see you with a gun in your hand and now you're dead.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, like you and I don't live in neighborhoods where this sort of thing happens ever, where there are police showing up and pounding on doors. So if in the middle of the night there's pounding on my door, somebody yelling, police. How would you react to that? I mean, you peer out the window. I mean, yes, that's the best.
Jack Armstrong
With a quick trigger finger.
Ryan Seacrest
Right.
Jack Armstrong
Thinks you're threatening them because again, they have been told that you are a violent lunatic who is about to kill people. Right.
Ryan Seacrest
So I might be peering out the window to shoot at them. So they don't.
Jack Armstrong
In their mind. Yeah, they're thinking, I want to go home to my wife and kids. I'm gonna, I'm gonna shoot before I'm shot. Right. Again, it's impossible to fully appreciate how incredibly dangerous this is. And you know, if it's some 16 year old jackass, you know, the, the sanction needs to be sufficiently strong that no other 16 year old jackass thinks it's a good idea. But if this is adults who are knowingly doing this, there's got to be extremely strong sanctions.
Ryan Seacrest
I think, I think you're right. I think the best way to stop it is that the penalty is just so high that you wouldn't want to mess around with it.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know how else to stop it.
Ryan Seacrest
And you know whether that would work because a lot of these people are crazy. I was just looking at a video, maybe we'll play the audio a little bit later of somebody cutting off a Tesla. I think it was in Washington state. But anyway, cutting off a Tesla in traffic and then the person pulling over because they were so rattled and then the person getting out of the car, coming up into being screamed at by a lunatic on the road because they drive a Tesla. Well, can you deter somebody like that with a penalty? Because they' clearly freaking nuts, but you gotta try.
Jack Armstrong
Well, we mentioned Speaking of things that Pam Bondi says she's gonna crack down on, she says it's clearly domestic terrorism and will be treated as such. We mentioned yesterday that of the four people arrested so far for vandalizing, destroying, bombing, shooting Tesla facilities, chargers and vehicles, three of them identify as transgender or non binary.
Ryan Seacrest
And that's something. What percentage of the country is trained? Of course, if you're at Brown University, 30% of the student body is trans. But I mean, in the general population, it's like.01%. But for people who destroy Tesla dealerships, it's half or three quarters or whatever it is.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah, it's something. I'm scrolling through the headlines and the news pictures and the rest of it. And of course, the delightful headline from a Colorado newspaper. Woman arrested for vandalizing Tesla dealer. And there's a picture of a full grown dude. He's a man. He's clearly a man. Beyond anybody's reasonable questioning, he is a man. Woman arrest. Well, he said he's a woman, so that makes him a woman. Seriously, how insane. If somebody had brought you that 10 years ago, you'd think, oh, my God, they've lost their mind.
Ryan Seacrest
But if it's the picture I saw, they weren't even presenting as a woman.
Jack Armstrong
No.
Ryan Seacrest
Or trying.
Jack Armstrong
No.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, I thought you had to. I mean, because you can't. You can't expect me to call you a woman if you're not even attempting in any way to look like a woman.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yes, you, you are. And you'd better, or we will ruin you. We'll dock you, we'll hound you, we'll end your career.
Ryan Seacrest
This swatting thing worries me. I've had people actually ask me, are you worried about that? I don't know. I had. Because there's a whole bunch of just like Twitter accounts to get a lot of attention or radio shows that have said things and getting swatted ain't cool.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, no, it's not.
Ryan Seacrest
Somebody's going to get killed at a tail at a Tesla dealership or in one of these squatting. There's going to be death at some point. And then I don't know if that gets people's attention or we come up with new rules or what?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I can't remember when we talked about this yesterday. Was it, was it this hour or the next hour about the, the incredible divorce, literally and figuratively between white college educated women and white men.
Ryan Seacrest
No degree stunning.
Jack Armstrong
It's different worlds. Donald Trump. There's an 80 point spread of approval. 80 points. JD Vance Similar doge, it's an 80 point. Is that 70 point spread DEI 71 point spread between those two groups of people. They are from different planets. And what's interesting is white men, no degree have, when you poll on specific issues, only become slightly more conservative. Who they vote for has changed recently, but in terms of issues, they're slightly more conservative. White college women with a college degree or higher education have swung so violently toward the left, nobody can recognize them, I feel like.
Ryan Seacrest
So for a long time the, if you're going to break down groups of people that has a college degree meant a level of education up until, I don't know, however many years ago. But now it doesn't mean you've got any different level of edge. Well, your education, you've been educated in Marxism or craziness or whatever. You don't, you're not any more knowledgeable in terms of things that are going to get you a job than anybody else. So the term a college degree, it's almost, it's almost misleading as a term.
Jack Armstrong
Yes, I see what you're saying.
Ryan Seacrest
Instead of saying college educated women, you might, it might be more accurate to say college indoctrinated women vote this way at this percentage as opposed to non college indoctrinated men.
Jack Armstrong
Honestly, I think that would be more accurate. And I'm not trying to be an exciting, nasty right wing talk show host. I think that's actually true. I mean we had that, that reel of it was all women significantly who had just gotten their Ph.D. or master's or whatever. It was in non binary decolonialization dance symbolism. Right.
Ryan Seacrest
And that's not even an exaggeration really.
Jack Armstrong
Oh no, no, it's. It's like a random word generator thing. They were all throwing them out. It was like a parody, but it wasn't a parody. And so you look at that and do you call those educated people that call them indoctrinated?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, that's not the right term based on the way we've used it throughout history. So no, university indoctrinated people vote this way. Non university indoctrinated people vote that way. Is the way we should go forward.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's like if the Boy Scouts taught nothing but hand to hand combat and you said, well that young man's an Eagle Scout. Well, it means something very, very different than it used to. And the colleges have, many of them have transformed themselves in a way that's nearly that drastic. So I don't know where this ends. Nobody knows. I mean I've got a couple of different examples. And they're really good, they're really encouraging about how DEI has been shed at this corporation and that investment fund and, and this government and the rest of it. We're making great progress. But the problem is not to get like super gross with you, but, and I'll be, I'll be gentle, but there are situations in medicine where you can clear up everything but the main source of infection, but you still have the main source of infection. And the main source of infection of this neo Marxist mind virus is the education system. And we are barely, barely scratching the surface of it. Some of them are in retreat in a way, like that poor beleaguered gal who's running Columbia University right now. Armstrong's your name. Is she what, Your sister? And the. I think it was Wall Street Journal did a profile of her about how she's in an impossible position because, you know, if she makes even a gesture toward what I would describe as sanity or complying with the Trump administration's demands so they get their $400 million in grants back. If she makes a single move in that direction, her left flank, which is like the Entire faculty saved 10% and the entire student body and staff saved May percent of them will go nuts. And, you know, I was tempted to feel sympathy for this woman who's supposed to be a nice gal and a smart gal, she's a doctor. But I thought, you know, thus the expression, you have created a monster. The unsaid part is now you're screwed because you have a monster. You haven't created a mild inconvenience. You've created a terrible beast that will. Will bloody you and tear your limbs off you. I mean, you've created a monster. Good luck dealing with your monster, sweetheart.
Ryan Seacrest
It's like the monkey on that new movie.
Jack Armstrong
Film? Yeah, we thought it was a. What was it? I can't remember. I found that phrase very funny. Or that sentence. We thought it was an accident. It wasn't an accident. It was a monkey.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay, so I don't want to talk about the California gubernatorial race, but a new straw poll out shows a certain Republican, a certain person at the top of the Republican list, and it's a famous crazy drunk actor. So we'll mention that among other things on the way. Stay here.

Jack Armstrong
As if Tesla isn't having enough problems, they just recalled nearly all cybertrucks because the roof panels can detach while driving.
Ryan Seacrest
It's dangerous.
Joe Getty
I mean, if the roof blows, people could see you in a cyber truck.
Jack Armstrong
Anyone seeing that?
Ryan Seacrest
Quite a long string of bad stories for Tesla, no doubt about it.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, rocky times.
Ryan Seacrest
So these early polls and various things are dumb because. Especially if nobody has like risen up as a choice. So we had the example the other day. AOC was at the top of the list for presidential candidates or something like that in some dumb poll just because there's nobody out there. So her, her number was like 12%, but it was the highest number. Yeah. So, you know, it doesn't, it doesn't mean anything. But similar sort of poll taken in California really early in the going for who should be the Republican candidate to run for governor. And at the top of the list. I didn't even know anybody was considering this. Mel Gibson, the actor.
Jack Armstrong
There's Mel now.
Ryan Seacrest
I, I don't know Mel Gibson's current mental state. We had made great sport of Mel back in the day when he had. What was the. What happened there? So he called an ex his wife or he had a meltdown of some sort.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, his, his woman who he was on the outs with and, and, and read her the riot act on her answering machine.
Ryan Seacrest
Yes, we have more of those clips. Yeah. Glum C. That's right.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, that's, that's. It's tough to bounce back from that. You can't unsay that, Mel.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, we should get, we should get the phone call. It's an entirety, not the clips, because it's pretty undammed entertaining, if I remember correctly. The whole thing, the, the rant that he went on. But you have any idea why he's at the top of our list here?
Jack Armstrong
I had no idea he had aspirations.
Ryan Seacrest
I didn't either.
Jack Armstrong
To be governor of California.
Ryan Seacrest
And is he now a sober, reasonable gentleman who doesn' Call women he disagree, disagrees with? Glum seas.
Jack Armstrong
And has he lightened up on the Jews also?
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, right. I'd forgotten that was an aspect of his personality there for a while.
Jack Armstrong
Devout Catholic, a little hardcore on the. The Jews killed Jesus. You know, it's. It's been a few thousand years. I say, you know, let it rest. But that's me.
Ryan Seacrest
Wow, that is awful on so many levels, Sue.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Mel Gibson. I. No, no, I can't take that seriously. You're a pain in my ass and.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay, God dang it. I don't know that I've ever been that unhinged, I don't think. But if I ever have been, I'm glad it's not on tape for me to ever have to hear.
Jack Armstrong
And there was that the friend who was the son of somebody or other and it doesn't really matter, but Mel was unhinged and he started recording the unhinged rants on his smartphone, I guess. Do we have any of that, Michael? At lunchtime?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, when you're. You see, that's when you're. You're brought to the level of just grunting. Basically.
Jack Armstrong
We don't have the. Who wants to eat? Hooray.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, you. You are a pain in my. And here's a guy who wrote. Who's written Oscar winning films, he's written his scripts. So he's a writer. And you come up with, you are a pain in my ass. Stop being.
Jack Armstrong
That's not the least bit unhinged. Yes, Katie, that's often how I called my children to the lunch table. It would appear he's been sober for 15 years. Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay, fantastic. Well, there you go. There you go. So he's a new man and maybe he'd make a great governor. Or not, I don't know.

Ryan Seacrest
Not getting near the attention I thought it would, but the Associated Press is reporting Israel's renewed military offensive could be even deadlier more destructive than the last, which is hard to imagine. What you're gonna make the rubble pieces smaller in terms of the destruction.
Jack Armstrong
I think there's more and more honesty emerging that there's no way we can live in peace side by side with anything run by Hamas. And we are gonna keep going till we are victorious. Period. Darrick there's gonna be no 2 state solution if Hamas is within a million miles of it gonna be no ceasefire. They've made it clear they're not going to return the hostages. We're done blanking around. If I were to interpret. So back at least briefly to the topic of reducing the size of the government and Doge and the rest of it. I found some of the underlying attitudes Americans have about this sort of thing just so interesting. For instance, the Wall Street Journal, which again they're they're reporting, seems to be swinging a bit leftward lately in A way I find annoying. Headline. Maybe it's the editor. Why many Americans are on board with federal worker firings. And they. You know what? This is not lefty. Now that I think about it, this is a good explainer for people who are left. Some envision bloat and cushy jobs and guaranteed pensions that nobody else gets and the rest of it. And they have lots of quotes about actually. So you got fired from your job? I've been fired from my job more than once.
Ryan Seacrest
They actually say that sort of stuff, that people were expecting cushy jobs with ridiculous benefits?
Jack Armstrong
Well, no, that, that. That's what other Americans see.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, oh.
Jack Armstrong
Cushy jobs and benefits they don't have.
Ryan Seacrest
Yes, that is what I see.
Jack Armstrong
I know the fact.
Ryan Seacrest
I know tons of people in that situation. They retired long before me because they went to work for the government.
Jack Armstrong
Right? Yeah. Government employees overall have long experienced a lower rate of layoffs than their private sector counterparts, especially during shocks such as the early COVID 19, et cetera. Federal employees also tend to spend less time unemployed in their lives because they're less likely to lose their jobs, blah, blah, blah. And they quote a bunch of normal Americans who say, yeah, it's too bad, but I'm not gonna like fall to my knees weeping over your misfortune. I've dealt with it myself and it's fine. I soldiered on. Anyway. I thought this chart was. Was interesting. Indeed. If you look at Republicans and Republican leaning independents and ask them, see share of Americans who say they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in career federal government employees, whatever that means.
Ryan Seacrest
And before. Before you give a. So what are my choices here? Scale of 1 to 10 or.
Jack Armstrong
No, you're just asking. Do you have a great deal or a fair amount of confidence in career employees?
Ryan Seacrest
No.
Jack Armstrong
Of the Federal bureau, I do not. So from 2018 to today, among Republicans and Republican leaning independents, the number who said yes to a great deal or a fair amount has gone from 49 to. It looks like about 35%. Is that right? Yeah, 33%. So it's gone from almost half to about a third.
Ryan Seacrest
All right.
Jack Armstrong
Among Democrats and Democratic leaning independents, it's gone from what looks to be 70% down to about 63% and then back up to 72% have a great deal or a fair amount of confidence in career employees of government agencies. That is just a real divide in attitudes. As Robert Shapiro, professor of government at Columbia, said, public support for federal workers varies widely. Blah, blah, blah. People on the left just are generally Much more supportive of Democrats, of, of government, government workers and programs. Well, if Democrats have said another researcher, give me a second. Democrats have tended to favor a government that does more to solve problems. Republicans have been more likely to say the government does too much.
Ryan Seacrest
If you lean right, your hero is Ronald Reagan, who ran on the scariest eight or nine words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you. I mean, that is a declaration that I don't think most federal workers are, whatever that scale is, doing a great job or a reasonable job or whatever. I mean, isn't it, I mean, if you're, if you say that's the scariest phrase in the English language, it's, this is probably not going to be good for me.
Jack Armstrong
Right. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that those attitudes underlie a lot of the poll results you're seeing now. Moving on, kind of. The Trump administration announced they're more or less shutting down in the way they have other things. I mean, they cut the staff and budget to the bone, so it can't really operate. They're terminating the grants for Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, the Voice of America, the Office of Cuba, Cuba broadcasting all the Voice of America type broadcast things that I think we're all dimly aware of through the years.
Ryan Seacrest
They have traffic and weather together.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know. I don't know. Perhaps not. As a professional jabberer and a patriot, I've long thought, you know, maybe someday I should retire and go just work for nothing at the Voice of America and just craft messages to help people who live under nasty regimes around the world understand how great this country is and how great could be for them and, you know, how cool self governance is and that sort of thing.
Ryan Seacrest
Welcome to the Voice of America. Remember the phrase that pays is Democracy is better than authoritarianism. If you're caller six and can recite the phrase that pays, you get a free Constitution in the mail.
Jack Armstrong
Well, that would be exciting. So the headline from the Wall Street Journal editorial board is A US Retreat in the War of Ideas. Trump Shuts Down Network that Helped Evade dictatorships firewalls. And their opening is actually quite persuasive. President Trump. Trump. Trump.
Ryan Seacrest
Trump.
Jack Armstrong
There's no President Trump.
Ryan Seacrest
I don't even know who you're talking about.
Jack Armstrong
President Trump has adopted Ronald Reagan's peace through strength theme to echo the Gipper's successful foreign policy realism. But what Mr. Trump ignores is the idealism that was the other half of Reagan's message. The Promotion of human freedom that undermines dictatorships from within.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, I got.
Jack Armstrong
I. I have a great sympathy toward that philosophy. Yeah, I bet.
Ryan Seacrest
I got to admit that I haven't looked into the story. I'm glad you have, but I just assumed that the Voice of America has gone left like everything else has, and.
Jack Armstrong
It'S basically a hell of a leap, sir. That's a hell of an assumption to make. Stay tuned.
Ryan Seacrest
And it's basically broadcasting NPR to the rest of the world or the 1619 Project or something, so it didn't really bother me that much. Wow.
Jack Armstrong
Way to steal my thunder, you jerk.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, I don't know. That's just what I was assuming.
Jack Armstrong
They go into the history of it. The news agencies were created to counter communism and spread the truth in countries where the media are controlled by the dictatorships and. And they lie about the rest of the world. It's like in. I, Judy and I took a. A cruise around parts of Europe last year at Christmas time, and one of the places we ended up in was Bratislava, which was part of.
Ryan Seacrest
You made that up.
Jack Armstrong
Yugoslavia. Yeah, there is. And that's a real place. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah. But it was interesting because the tour guide grew up the daughter of a guy who turned out to be an anti Soviet activist, but he kept it very, very, very, very quiet. He was. He was, like, not a big activist, but he believed in his heart that freedom needed to come back to his people, and he wanted it to happen. But he dared not even tell his daughter that he was listening to the Voice of America. And that because you would be jailed, beaten, tortured, maybe killed for being caught listening to the Voice of America. So, anyway, that made a hell of an impression on me and what she told us in the tour, because I think it might have even been me who asked her what she thought of the west or what they're taught about the West. And she said, oh, we were taught that. That people were just starving, that it was miserable. There was crime everywhere, nobody could eat, Kids were starving in the streets, and dogs. And the reason that our country is walled off, literally walled off and protected by armed guards everywhere, was because everybody in the west was trying to get in because they were so desperate.
Ryan Seacrest
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
So that is the history of the Voice of America, and that's why I've always been such a fan of the idea of it. Well, here's a headline from the Washington Free Beacon, which I think does some of the best conservative journalism around these days. They've refused to call a terrorist a terrorist. Voice of America's demise comes after years of liberal training sessions, pro or and bias, and even Russian propagandists. And then they go into when Trump or Drump, if you prefer, moved this weekend to dismantle the Voice of America. MSNBC wrote that the move brought an end to pro democracy media outlets. Blah, blah, blah, all the good stuff we were talking about. But VOA's liberal staffers have not only faced criticism from running a left wing broadcaster similar to npr, they're also accused of operating a pro Iran bent, producing anti Israel news coverage and at least two cases publishing Russian propagandists said, oh Lord, I don't want to quote Carrie Lake on anything unless it's how to look good in high heels, but she retails or she mentions a couple of those complaints and then she discusses how she's not really running the voa, she's running the umbrella organization. The current director apparently sees things differently, telling the journalist Mark Halperin that he considers himself a caretaker taker who's happy to help Blake as she takes on responsibilities for. All right, let's get into the main part. A White House fact sheet accompanying the executive order cited an assortment of reports, including those published in the free beacon, detailing VOA's left wing biases and sympathies toward Tehran. It took aim at past VOA contributors, ties to the Kremlin, including a Russian anti US propagandist who produces videos with anti US and anti Semitic themes. Ba ba ba. VOA's liberal leanings, which became particularly pronounced during Trump's first term, run counter to the broadcaster stated mission to, quote, represent America and present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively. In fact, in many cases, its advanced narratives preferred by America's adversaries and aligned itself with the anti Trump Trump left. VOA reporters, for example, are instructed to be fair, impartial and objective in all public spaces. In 2019, a collection of those reporters took to social media to trash the administration they're meant to highlight abroad. Just littered with anti Trump posts without.
Ryan Seacrest
Looking into it at all. I just assumed this. I've assumed. Why would Voice of America be much different than npr? Similar sort of situation. And NPR is ridiculous, right?
Jack Armstrong
Listen to this. Now, under the Biden administration, the umbrella organization spent about $24,000 in taxpayer funds to teach reporters under its wing how to be, quote, balanced and bias free. Okay. Oh good, that's a good expenditure. The contract to do this Eduma Kate and went to the Poynter Institute, a liberal journalism group that in 2019 released a blacklist of conservative news outlets, including the Free Beacon, which it deemed unrelia criticism. Pointer withdrew the list, which was put together with its partners from the far left, Southern Poverty Law. Wow.
Ryan Seacrest
But they're involved at all? Shut down Voice of America.
Jack Armstrong
That's your how to be balanced and bias free educators.
Ryan Seacrest
I would love to see that list. I'm sure. Npr, New York Times, anything like that. Probably some of your cable news channels were not on there as being biased in any way.
Jack Armstrong
The Pointer Institute, largely funded by George Soros, Craig Newmark, Bill Gates and Tim Gill, an activist whose husband served as former president's ambassador to Switzerland, which would be a really cool gig. Anyway, they used US money to pay Pointer for at least four balanced and biased training sessions. Then VOA shifted further left during the so called racial reckoning in the spring of 2020 after George Floyd doing stories like what is white privilege and whom does it help? Thanks for tuning in what you speculated.
Ryan Seacrest
Thanks for tuning in, Voice of America. If you're listening in Sudan, here's your weather today. Fundamentalist Muslim groups are going around slaughtering people. So bring an umbrella, Right?
Jack Armstrong
Exactly. And America is evil and racist. In fact, it's the most racist country on earth. So the one thing you must not do is act like America. This is the vice of America.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Strip it to the bone. Rebuild it with sanity. I would be happy to run it.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. And put us on.

No, I wouldn't. I can't. Take the cut and pay.

Tesla thing is really weird and getting weirder. This is a story from the Seattle area.
Joe Getty
I was thankfully by myself.
Ryan Seacrest
Lee was on the way to a.
Joe Getty
Doctor'S appointment in Linwood Wednesday morning when.
Jack Armstrong
She says all of a sudden a.
Joe Getty
Driver behind her just laid on the.
Jack Armstrong
Horn as they came up to a red light.
Joe Getty
Things spiraled out of control when a.
Jack Armstrong
White SUV followed her and cut her.
Joe Getty
Off, stopping in the middle of the road.
Ryan Seacrest
Gets out and walks straight up to my door window.
Joe Getty
So I crack my window and I said, what. What is the problem? He goes, you need to sell your car. This is a Nazi car. You're driving it. You need to sell your car.
Jack Armstrong
Lee says she's been driving a Tesla for the last two years.
Joe Getty
She says a man wearing a camouflage jacket and a ski mask attacked her for it. It's really sad like that.
Ryan Seacrest
This is what's happening to people who, honestly, it doesn' affect how I believe or what I believe.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. And.
Ryan Seacrest
And leave, you know, left out of that story. She had to be scared to death. A dude stops in the middle of the road, cuts her off, and is walking up to her car. I'd be thinking, ski mask. I think I would have driven off. I. I wouldn't have waited around to see what the guy in the ski mask wants after he just driven over him. Yeah. I'm not rolling down my window and talking to a dude in a ski mask.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Ryan Seacrest
That's a scary story. How freaking crazy are these people?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
You realize, of course, I assume, that the person driving the Tesla almost certainly is on your side politically. Almost certainly. They drive a Tesla that does. I mean, I don't fit that profile, but most Tesla drivers do.
Jack Armstrong
And this is so obvious as to be a little tiring, but if it was some, you know, MAGA person doing something similar to some gay person or whatever, it would be seen as a horror. And a maniac was on the loose, quite appropriately. Yeah. It wouldn't have stopped strangers in traffic and terrifying them like that.
Ryan Seacrest
That wouldn't have just been on the Seattle Evening News. That would have been on the CBS Evening News. If that had been a guy in camo who was walking up to. Well, go back six months. You go back six months, and a guy in camo walking up to a Tesla cut off in traffic and said, you believe in climate change, you fascist weirdo. Or something like that.
Jack Armstrong
Right, right.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, my God, the coverage of that. Anyway, I don't know where this is going. I don't think it's over.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, no, no. I think the crazy people are getting emboldened, if anything, and desperate as they're fed the. The harem scaram rhetoric of their side.
Ryan Seacrest
A different topic before we hit the top of the hour. First of all, wasn't it, like, a week ago that we mentioned coastal grandmother style or something like that?
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, coastal grandmother chic. That's right. It's right.
Ryan Seacrest
And it's got to do with. It's got to do with clothes and the way you decorate your house. Anyway, I just came across this in The Wall Street Journal. Grandpa style.
Joe Getty
Cool.
Ryan Seacrest
Guys love grandpa style. How to make cardigans and pleated pants look modern. So cardigan sweaters. Completed pants. Grandpa style.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, I'm busy over here.
Ryan Seacrest
That's not the one I was going to talk about. I was going to talk about the growing popularity of sock shoes. It's got a particular brand here. Brave pudding. They're 380 bucks, which is a pretty pricey shoe. They're socks with hard bottoms on them. Sock shoes. The shock shoot. The sock shoe trend has been embraced by fashion influencers and fancy moms. Whatever. Whatever the hell a fancy mom is.
Jack Armstrong
Most moms not one of those.
Ryan Seacrest
Most moms. I know the last thing they would call themselves at this point in their life is fancy.
Jack Armstrong
You gotta go with shooks, right?
Ryan Seacrest
It looks pretty comfy though. I mean, it's basically like a sandal you slip on. It looks like wearing socks.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know.
Ryan Seacrest
I might try that. I don't know if I'll get the.
Jack Armstrong
400 version, but it sounds stupid looking. I'm not looking at the picture, but it.
Ryan Seacrest
Well, you look like you're wearing socks. You just walk around outdoors.
Jack Armstrong
You want to look like you are wearing socks in public. That would brand you as a mental patient or an escaped convict.

Armstrong & Getty On Demand: "Way To Steal My Thunder, You Jerk." – Detailed Summary
Released on March 21, 2025 by iHeartPodcasts
In the episode titled “Way To Steal My Thunder, You Jerk,” hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty delve into a variety of pressing topics, ranging from international relations and domestic security issues to societal divides and media bias. The discussion is enriched with insightful commentary, personal anecdotes, and noteworthy quotes, providing listeners with a comprehensive overview of the current socio-political landscape.
The episode opens with a discussion centered on the ongoing relationship between the United States and Ukraine, particularly focusing on the potential deal involving rare earth elements.
Jack Armstrong highlights the significance of Ukraine's rare earth resources:
“...we are doing very well with regard to Ukraine and Russia. And one of the things we are doing is signing a deal very shortly with respect to rare earths with Ukraine, which they have tremendous value in rare earth, and we appreciate that.” ([03:10])
Ryan Seacrest raises questions about the specifics of the deal, especially concerning nuclear power plants:
“The US Take ownership of Ukraine's nuclear power plants for long term security... I have no idea what's going on at this point.” ([04:01])
The conversation underscores the complexity of international agreements and the strategic importance of rare earths in global politics.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to addressing the alarming rise in swatting attacks against conservative influencers. Swatting involves making false emergency calls to provoke a SWAT team response, posing severe risks to all parties involved.
Ryan Seacrest elaborates on the dangers:
“...15 plus conservative influencers have been swatted, had a swatting attack in the last week.” ([04:52])
Jack Armstrong expresses concern over the implications:
“...it has resulted in injuries and death in the past. It's an incredibly dangerous thing.” ([05:38])
The hosts discuss the psychological and physical dangers associated with swatting, emphasizing the urgent need for stringent penalties. Jack Armstrong calls for strong sanctions:
“...if this is adults who are knowingly doing this, there's got to be extremely strong sanctions.” ([07:15])
Ryan Seacrest concurs, suggesting that high penalties could deter potential offenders:
“I think the best way to stop it is that the penalty is just so high that you wouldn't want to mess around with it.” ([07:25])
The segment concludes with a shared sentiment that swatting is a severe and growing threat that demands immediate attention from law enforcement and policymakers.
The discussion shifts to recent acts of vandalism targeting Tesla facilities, intertwining with broader themes of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Jack Armstrong notes the troubling demographics of the perpetrators:
“...of the four people arrested so far for vandalizing, destroying, bombing, shooting Tesla facilities, three of them identify as transgender or non-binary.” ([08:05])
The hosts critique media portrayals and societal reactions to these incidents. Jack Armstrong sarcastically remarks on the reporting biases:
“There’s a picture of a full grown dude. He's a man. He's clearly a man. Beyond anybody's reasonable questioning, he is a man. Woman arrest. Well, he said he's a woman, so that makes him a woman.” ([08:45])
This segment highlights the intersection of gender identity and criminal actions, questioning societal perceptions and media representations.
A significant focus is placed on the growing divide between white college-educated women and white men, examining how educational backgrounds influence political and social attitudes.
Jack Armstrong presents alarming statistics:
“...white college women with a college degree or higher education have swung so violently toward the left, nobody can recognize them.” ([10:25])
Ryan Seacrest discusses the impact of education on political leanings:
“...college indoctrinated women vote this way at this percentage as opposed to non-college indoctrinated men.” ([11:44])
The hosts argue that higher education institutions are fostering ideologies that significantly diverge from those of non-educated or less-educated demographics, exacerbating political polarization.
Jack Armstrong further asserts:
“The main source of infection of this neo Marxist mind virus is the education system.” ([12:23])
This contentious viewpoint underscores the perceived role of higher education in shaping and, in the hosts' perspective, skewing political ideologies.
One of the most extensive discussions revolves around the Trump administration's decision to shut down the Voice of America (VOA), criticizing its alleged liberal bias and questioning its role in international propaganda.
Jack Armstrong critiques the shutdown:
“Trump Shuts Down Network that Helped Evade dictatorships firewalls.” ([31:57])
Ryan Seacrest shares his assumptions about VOA:
“I just assumed this. I just assumed why would Voice of America be much different than NPR?” ([36:49])
The hosts dissect the implications of the closure, arguing that VOA had deviated from its mission to present unbiased American policies.
Jack Armstrong recounts anecdotes illustrating VOA's impact:
“...a tour guide's father was an anti-Soviet activist who secretly listened to VOA, risking severe repercussions.” ([33:09])
Ryan Seacrest criticizes the perceived liberal tilt:
“MSNBC wrote that the move brought an end to pro-democracy media outlets.” ([38:31])
The segment emphasizes concerns over the loss of a governmental media outlet intended to counteract authoritarian narratives, suggesting that VOA had instead become a platform for internal political biases.
In a lighter yet controversial segment, the hosts discuss the surprising straw poll results positioning actor Mel Gibson as a leading Republican candidate for the California gubernatorial race.
Ryan Seacrest introduces the topic:
“...top of the list. I didn't even know anybody was considering this. Mel Gibson, the actor.” ([15:39])
Jack Armstrong expresses skepticism about Gibson’s suitability:
“I had no idea he had aspirations to be governor of California.” ([20:38])
The conversation touches on Gibson's past controversies and questions whether his public persona aligns with the responsibilities of a gubernatorial candidate. The hosts remain doubtful about his political viability, reflecting on his history of unhinged rants and extremist views.
Analyzing public trust in government workers, the hosts examine shifting perceptions among different political groups.
Jack Armstrong cites a Wall Street Journal article:
“Why many Americans are on board with federal worker firings.” ([27:09])
Ryan Seacrest discusses republican attitudes:
“Among Republicans and Republican leaning independents... confidence has gone from almost half to about a third.” ([28:22])
Jack Armstrong contrasts this with Democratic views:
“Among Democrats... confidence... back up to 72% have a great deal or a fair amount of confidence in career employees of government agencies.” ([29:00])
The discussion underscores a growing partisan divide in trust towards federal employees, reflecting broader tensions over the role and effectiveness of government institutions.
Shifting away from politics, the hosts briefly explore emerging fashion trends, specifically the rise of sock shoes.
Ryan Seacrest introduces the topic:
“...the growing popularity of sock shoes.” ([44:58])
Jack Armstrong expresses skepticism:
“You want to look like you are wearing socks in public. That would brand you as a mental patient or an escaped convict.” ([46:09])
The segment provides a humorous take on evolving fashion, highlighting generational differences in style acceptance.
The hosts discuss Tesla’s recall of nearly all Cybertrucks due to safety concerns, criticizing the company’s practices and public reactions to assaults on Tesla drivers.
Jack Armstrong unravels Tesla’s recent challenges:
“As if Tesla isn't having enough problems, they just recalled nearly all Cybertrucks because the roof panels can detach while driving.” ([18:35])
Ryan Seacrest attributes these issues to broader societal tensions:
“That's a scary story. How freaking crazy are these people?” ([43:29])
The conversation links Tesla's operational difficulties with aggressive anti-Tesla sentiments, suggesting that conflicted political ideologies fuel these adversarial behaviors.
Throughout the episode, the hosts intersperse their discussions with advertisements for various products and services, including Chumba Casino, Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford, Clorox Scentiva, and financial planning services. While these segments are primarily promotional, they provide insights into the sponsors supporting the show.
