• Jack Armstrong: “Should the United States get involved in helping Israel attack Iran? Yeses. 16% 1 6.”

They discuss the implications of the poll's wording, suggesting that clarity could yield different results. The conversation parallels historical U.S. reluctance to engage in prolonged conflicts, drawing comparisons to Britain's 92% opposition to confronting Hitler pre-WWII due to war fatigue.

Jack and Katie speculate on the U.S. and Israel's potential military strategies concerning Iran, questioning the delay in action and its consequences.

They discuss Israel's dwindling missile defenses and the financial strain of continuous missile attacks, highlighting the urgent need for effective countermeasures.

• Katie Green: “They are spending a horrific amount of money every single day too.”

The hosts ponder the strategic decisions behind limited involvement versus full-scale military engagement, contemplating the risks and benefits of each approach.

The segment features a series of outlandish claims and comments from public figures, providing comic relief and satirical insight into media sensationalism.

---

Segment 6: Mailbag and Listener Interactions

Timestamp: [34:24] - [42:44]

Listeners' emails and messages are read and responded to, offering personalized interactions and addressing various topics ranging from AI skepticism to political satire.

• Katie Green: “Yesterday, in the third segment of Armstrong and Getty On Demand, Jack asked GPT about the origins of the phrase 'when the ass hits the fan'. GPT spat out a response stating the earliest cited source of the phrase was from the 1939 novel Singing the Blues by Hal Doby. I went to look into said novel and discovered it doesn't exist. Really? Really. Hallucination?”

This segment emphasizes the hosts' interactive relationship with their audience, blending humor with informative content.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Katie Green]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and get ready. Oh, boy, it's Friday. How excited it is.

[Katie Green]

That's Friday.

[Jack Armstrong]

Live from Studio C. See senor, dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y' all, Today we are under the tutelage of our general manager.

[Katie Green]

I don't have a strong candidate.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've got a great one.

[Katie Green]

Oh, good.

[Jack Armstrong]

A great one. Alcatraz Alligators.

[Katie Green]

What now?

[Jack Armstrong]

Alcatraz Alligators.

[Katie Green]

Is that like a soccer team? Sounds like one of those second tier soccer league teams.

[Jack Armstrong]

Does sound like a single. A baseball team, doesn't it? In the middle of Oklahoma. And you get their gear because it's really cool. There's a plan in Florida to somehow have alligators introduced into prison into the prison situation to try to help with keeping people from escaping.

[Katie Green]

It's innovative. I say we give it a try.

[Jack Armstrong]

Thinking outside the box. There are no bad ideas. What else? Anybody else have an idea?

[Katie Green]

Moats filled with hungry gators.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, so that's a good one.

[Katie Green]

They need that in New Orleans. We're staying in jail is, you know, voluntary.

[Jack Armstrong]

So they. We haven't mentioned that story forever because there are bigger stories. But they, they at a total of, I think 32 people arrested that were involved in helping those dudes escape in New Orleans. 32 people that were willing to help people escape at that prison. What is your hiring process? 32.

[Katie Green]

I think a lot of those people were outside people. 80 aiding in abetting. Not inside the prison. But there were. There were a handful inside.

[Jack Armstrong]

Quite a few.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

What is your hiring process? One should be too many. Having a half a dozen or a dozen seems like a lot.

[Katie Green]

There are parts of the country that absolutely answer to their own stereotypes. You know what I mean? A little fast and loose, a little good old boy, a little mobbed up a little. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today. You go poll that just came out with a very clear question. Should the United States get involved in helping Israel attack Iran? Yeses. 16% 1 6.

[Katie Green]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not a lot. Makes me wonder if I'm way off base. I mean, I'm not going to change my opinion based on the poll, but if I'm way off base on how many people are listening and thinking, you're right, Jack. As opposed to everybody practically saying what the hell are you talking about? I don't know.

[Katie Green]

The obvious follow up to that is if you were to reword the question, are you. Would you support the US getting involved? As you just said, if it's limited to a very small number of critical airstrikes.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think a better question, I think the best question, because I keep bringing you back to this. Do you think it's okay to let Iran get a nuclear weapon? Because if it's no, then, okay, how you gonna stop it? You gotta do some unpleasant things.

[Katie Green]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I assume most people would say no. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

[Katie Green]

Yeah, I, I come across a fair number of folks who ask, and it's a perfectly reasonable question. Well, if Pakistan has a nuke and North Korea has a nuke, I mean, why is everybody getting so up in arms about Iran?

[Jack Armstrong]

I think it's horrible that Pakistan and North Korea have a nuke.

[Katie Green]

I would agree. And there are significant differences. That doesn't mean it's a bad question, but it's a question in a lot of people's minds.

[Jack Armstrong]

You married a crazy person before, got divorced. What's the problem with marrying another crazy person and getting divorced? It seems like to me, I mean, you don't want another bad outcome.

[Katie Green]

Right. You're in business now with two thieving murderers. Let's add another thieving murderer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Perhaps even the way that question was worded, I thought 16. That's not very many people.

[Katie Green]

Oh, yeah, that is, it's, it's, it's prejudicial in its vagueness because it, it almost implies in its vagueness that it is an unlimited door has opened to an unlimited level of involvement.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, people are going with their past experience of Iraq and Afghanistan, that Afghanistan was 20 years, Iraq was nine years. Nothing to show for it. Some people would argue that. I know if Dick Cheney or he did, the world was better with Saddam Hussein gone, he would say, which is probably true, but I'm not sure it's significantly different than what we got now in terms of helping the United States. Certainly Afghanistan was a. What did we get for 20 years of that? So if that's a hangover that people have gotten, that's where it's coming from, I think. Right.

[Katie Green]

But again, to not make it clear that the, the idea and, and like the unanimous idea is very limited involvement. No nation building, no boots on the ground, no mass invasion, no we take over their infrastructure, nothing like that. None of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Again, I'm pro attacking Iran and stopping them from getting the bomb, but my, my pushback on that would be. They said no nation building at the beginning of Iraq. They said no, you know, so mission creep, you know, look it up.

[Katie Green]

Right. And. Or just overtly being misled.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's interesting. The hangovers from previous wars or how reticent we all are to get involved in things. I'm continuing to take in a lot of information about World War II. Great podcast with Lex Friedman the other day with Tom Holland. Fantastic, fantastic historian who's got a. An amazing podcast. If you're a World War II geek, you got to listen to his podcast. I mean, it is a deep, deep dive and just put together so well. He walks the battlefields and talks about.

[Katie Green]

But anyway, there are no other podcasts. Is inaccurate.

[Jack Armstrong]

The.

[Katie Green]

Do you watch TV shows where they promote other TV shows? No, that would be insane. Only a maniac would do that on his own show. Stop it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Late in 1938. I don't know how good you are in your World War II history, but late 1938, Hitler had already started invading various places he wasn't supposed to invade. It was still a year before. He goes into. He goes into Poland, I guess, but he was already starting to. He was already eating up chunks of land. Very similar to what Russia. Russia's been doing around Ukraine for years with no pushback from the world. And polling in Great Britain was 92% of people were against getting militarily involved in stopping Hitler. 92%.

[Katie Green]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

You wonder why you were going. Well, he was going with appeasement. 92% of his country didn't want to do anything because of the hangover of World War I. If we're not getting involved in that ever again, sure. Iraq, Afghanistan, hangover.

[Katie Green]

And it's also universally recognized that if the Allies had moved on Hitler in 38, when he made it infinitely clear what he was up to, he was so weak and his military was so weak, they could have. They could have ended it right then and there, but so go the tides of history.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, he fooled people to a great extent. Here's a World War II story. And then I will stop. Then.

[Katie Green]

Oh, no, it's great.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then I'll move on to the Roman Empire. I don't think I'd ever heard this story before, or I have the advantage of being old. So stories are new to me every time I hear them because I forget them like I'm Joe Biden. Hitler was showing off the Luftwaffe, his air force, his new planes to some. Some French people. So to try to show the French how strong they were, this is when everybody was still friendly enough, right? And he only had a handful of planes. So they would go to an airstrip, he would show the representative from France their. Their fancy new planes on the airstrip and everything like that. And these are the best planes that ever been made in the world, which was true at the time and, and very scary for the rest of the world. And he said, we'll drive over to the other airfield and I can see. Show you some more of them and then get in the car and they drive. On the way to the airfield, those planes would get up, fly around, come in, land on that other airfield. They would go to that airfield and say, here's our fancy planes. We have thousands of them.

[Katie Green]

Put on a fake mustache. It's just the same dog.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was just the same planes over and over again. Which is a good, which is good trick. Yeah, it's like the Marx Brothers running. And it worked anyway. I don't know. Sixteen's a low number, no matter how you word it. You would think you'd get up a little higher than that.

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Trump might be seeing those polls. Maybe that's why he's, he's slowing down and hesitating. And how that's landing in Israel, I have no idea.

[Katie Green]

Well, the poll numbers about some of the immigration enforcement aren't too awe inspiring either. There is not a will among the American people for widespread roundups of non lawbreakers.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then change the law.

[Katie Green]

Illegal immigrants, then push to. Exactly. No, you're 100. The Armstrong Doctrine will be recognized by historians as the correct path. It will also be recognized as the path we did not take.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. We should start the show officially. And we do need to get to alligator Alcatraz because that is a fantastic idea. Whoever raised their hand at the meeting and said, why don't we put alligators in the prisons? That guy needs a gold star in his own, his own parking spot. Because that is a really good idea. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, June 20th, the year 2025. We are Armstrong and getting. Tomorrow's the longest day of the year and they start getting shorter again. That's it. That's a half glasses, half empty attitude, isn't it? We're Armstrong and getting. We approve of this program.

[Katie Green]

Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, leaping into action at mark.

[Jack Armstrong]

I have a message directly from the President and I quote, based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take.

[Katie Green]

Place with Iran in the near future.

[Host 2]

I will make my decision whether or.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not to go within the next two weeks. Two weeks, I think a lot of us were thinking we were hours away from the bunker busters, falling from the sky and it getting, getting exciting. And two weeks was pretty shocking. I wonder how shocking it was to Bibi Netanyahu, who is presiding over a country that is running out of missile defense as Iran continues to shoot at them. Got another one through last night and blew up a building. So two weeks might seem like a long time to him.

[Katie Green]

Super duper extra shocking. That's how shocking it is that, yeah, they are spending a horrific amount of money every single day too. So, yeah, I'm sure he's not pleased with that. Could be a faint by Trump, who knows? By the way, misinformation and disinformation from Jack Armstrong. Today is the longest day of the year. It's National Pessimism Day today.

[Joe Getty]

It's the darkest day.

[Katie Green]

Yeah, whatever. Brightest.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, whatever. I had another point about the putting it off for two weeks. Oh, yeah. Obviously saying two weeks from now, if you're planning to attack today is a great idea.

[Katie Green]

Oh, yeah, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean that's a really good idea. Say, okay, unwad your beard. We got a little time here.

[Katie Green]

Well, was it a week ago? He's like, hey, yeah, see you Tuesday for them, those talks. Really looking forward to that. We'll meet you then. Yeah, Tuesday for the talks. That'll be great. And then Israel brought the thunder.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Katie Green]

With Trump's knowledge and thumbs up.

[Jack Armstrong]

I got more on that. We'll get to that later. And we got Katie's headlines on the way. Clips of the week today. Oh my gosh, it's a fun Friday. Stay here.

Our best policy hey, it's Karen and Georgia from My favorite Murder. Thanks to Hyundai, we got to take a post show drive in the Ionic five.

[Host 1]

We had snacks, laughs and we even recorded a special episode featuring some unforgettable car themed stories.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Take a listen.

[Karen Kilgariff]

The Montgomery Bus Boycott Success was dependent on the action and dedication of many individuals, of course. But today we're going to focus on the work of one of those people in particular. A woman in her 30s. And yes, I love her name. It's Georgia Gilmore.

[Host 1]

Oh yes. Today's story is centered on a group of courageous women dedicated on taking down Hitler during World War II. They banded together to form an all female ambulance cor which became the first unit of its kind to join an official combat division on the Western front. This is the story of the Rochambeau group, best known by their nickname, the Rochambelles.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Oh, my God.

[Host 1]

Right? This episode is brought to you by the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5.

[Jack Armstrong]

My son and I are going to the Dodgers game tonight. 72 degrees, first pitch. That sounds pretty nice. Perfect.

[Katie Green]

Oh, wow. Spectacular.

[Jack Armstrong]

Three chili dogs in me. By then maybe a milkshake. I'll be groaning.

[Katie Green]

Oh, why would you do that to yourself? Coming up next segment, we've. I think we're gonna do this. It's a three way dumbest take of the week off. Three candidates for the single stupidest thing said this week. And it's gonna be a tough choice. We'll need your help. Stay with us. We got clips of the week also.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we got a lot to fit in.

[Katie Green]

Oh, goodness sakes. Yeah. I don't know. Well, we'll make it all work. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Starting with NBC, neighborhoods empty out as Israel and Iran exchange attacks.

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

And so like all those people who left Tehran in that giant traffic jam that we all saw that looked like the Bay Area on a Friday at 3 o' clock. Are they going to come back? I mean, you can't just stay away from home for two weeks, can you?

[Katie Green]

You know, that's such a funny comparison. I mean, in Iranian newspapers, do they have pictures of people, you know, just stacked up. Americans flee Los Angeles as the threat grows. I mean, it's just rotney traffic from Fox News.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Trump scores major win against Newsom in.

[Jack Armstrong]

Battle for National Guard control. Yeah. Because he obvious. I mean, that's one of the things he obviously has the ability to do.

[Katie Green]

Yeah. And the fact that a San Francisco hippie district court judge.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hippie judge, yeah.

[Katie Green]

Stepped in and just screwed this all up with his idiotic ruling that wasn't going to last for five minutes in front of an appeals court. Well, that's why we have appeals courts.

[Georgia Hardstark]

From the Washington Post, LA Dodgers block.

[Jack Armstrong]

Federal agents from setting up in stadium parking lot. Yeah. So there, there is some egging on going on. I hope this doesn't happen tonight at the Dodgers game of trying to get a boycott going since 40% of the Dodger fan base is Hispanic and they're trying to get some sort of push of a boycott of the going to games to force pressure on something. So we'll see.

[Katie Green]

Wow. And the Dodgers are like we're not a branch of the government.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Georgia Hardstark]

ABC Sherry Papini claims ex boyfriend abducted her in 2016.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, did she realize.

[Katie Green]

Just be quiet.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did she realize everything was over? They did the special and everything was over. She done her interview, now nobody cares and she has to make up news stories now. What a crackpot. From the New York Post. Shocking audio reveals Cassie threatening to kill.

[Georgia Hardstark]

A man over a video of a Diddy freak off.

[Jack Armstrong]

So are we into the tearing apart the witnesses stage of this trial?

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Katie Green]

Putting on its case or what? Or is this cross examination? I've totally lost track.

[Jack Armstrong]

So they're trying to claim to make it look like she's violent and nutty too. Okay, this is the defense.

[Katie Green]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Study finds 1 in 3Americans admit they wake up exhausted. Yep, I wake up exhausted. I've woken up well rested maybe once in my life. But I'm just giving myself the benefit of the doubt. I don't actually remember it.

[Katie Green]

I spring out of bed with a song in my heart and a twinkle in my eye.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I get up in the morning, my eyes open. I think a day. Another one of these. Good Lord from the Wall Street Journal. Want a better relationship with your teen children?

[Katie Green]

Yeah, it does help.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I've noticed he's been gone this week on his boy scout trip and the walking to the gym by myself is pretty lonely. I. I'm at 36. I still work out with my dad. Cool. And finally the Babylon B technical foul. WNBA players use Caitlyn Clark's head as the ball.

[Host 1]

What?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that league need to needs to decide how they want to handle their best player that gets him the most attention. The NBA changed the rules for Michael Jordan because they thought look what we got on our hands. They ought to do that in the wnba.

[Katie Green]

Well, I have it on good authority she eggs players on and has it coming.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Katie Green]

Great, great.

Hey, it's Karen and Georgia from my favorite Murder. Thanks to Hyundai we got to take a post show drive in the Ionic five.

[Host 1]

We had snacks, laughs and we even recorded a special special episode featuring some unforgettable car themed stories.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Take a listen. The Montgomery Bus Boycott Success was dependent on the action and dedication of many individuals, of course. But today we're going to focus on the work of one of those people in particular. A woman in her 30s. And yes, I love her name. It's Georgia Gilmore.

[Host 1]

Oh yes. Today's story is centered on a group of courageous women dedicated on taking down Hitler during world. They banded together to form an all female ambulance corps which became the first unit of its kind to join an official combat division on the Western front. This is the story of the Rohambeau Group, best known by their nickname, the Rochambels. Oh my God, right? This episode is brought to you by the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5.

[Jack Armstrong]

Science knows.

[Katie Green]

Was anybody asking that question?

[Jack Armstrong]

Old people smell. Dogs come from.

[Katie Green]

Come on. Also, I must apologize. I said we would do the dumbest take of the week here. I had forgotten. We have clips of the week. It was a hasty and ill advised promotional announcement and I take full responsibility. We will kick off next hour with.

[Jack Armstrong]

Said featurette and it's gonna be good. All three of the dumb dumb takes deserve conversation.

[Katie Green]

Tough to pick a winner. That's right. But first, it is indeed time for the Friday tradition. Let's take a fond look back at the week that was it's Cal clips of the weekline way implying it just.

[Jack Armstrong]

Called me, I think a sleazy feline here in Washington. It was a celebration officially to mark.

[Georgia Hardstark]

The army's 250th anniversary. Authorities say a suspected gunman impersonating a.

Police officer targeted two Democratic lawmakers, the Supreme Court conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban.

[Unknown Speaker]

Pilots over the skies of Tehran will.

[Jack Armstrong]

Deal blows to the Ayatollah regime that.

[Unknown Speaker]

They cannot even imagine.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're gonna see some surprises that will make the beeper almost seem simple.

[Katie Green]

Israel identified a window to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

[Jack Armstrong]

The President says, we know exactly where the so called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target.

[Katie Green]

Two very simple words, a very simple unconditional surrender. Iran's Supreme Leader has said unconditional surrender is effectively out of the question. And this is a generational moment and.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think we've got to take advantage of it in the United States right now.

[Katie Green]

You don't know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. But it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency and effectively end it. Why are we so afraid of them? Why are they the biggest threat if they're a weak country that's on its knees? Because they're trying, I'm trying to keep track.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're trying to develop, be a little less snarky.

[Katie Green]

I know, you're right. That is a problem that I have. I'm sorry. When you come to America, you're a guest and you have to behave like a guest.

[Jack Armstrong]

We love immigrants.

[Georgia Hardstark]

We love you, dude.

[Jack Armstrong]

Love immigrants. You stupid mother. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained?

[Katie Green]

King, thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God.

[Katie Green]

That deserves a full play. The Senator, Alex Padilla, barely holding back the tears as he describes the nightmare of being wrestled to the ground just because he charged, shouting at Kristi Gnome. And then three seconds later, he is fine, but he's trying to make himself into a martyr. Hilarious.

[Jack Armstrong]

We never. He's like a little baby. We never, sir, we didn't ever play the clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger on the View, saying it was on the clips of the week there. The. When you come to this country as an immigrant, you're a guest and you need to behave. And everybody in the View looking at him wide eyed. Well, you're not supposed to say that. You're supposed to talk about how Trump's Hitler.

[Katie Green]

Who watches those hags? Excellent question. I want to know the numbers and I want to see the demographics.

[Jack Armstrong]

That needs to be a pejorative term somehow. Daytime TV watchers, people who watch the View or Judge Judy or whatever your life is, that you're watching network television during the day. It's always been a certain crowd, but especially now with all the other options out there, you're still watching what the three big Channels have for you. Oh my God. You're a certain sort of person.

[Katie Green]

Wow. Well, your cruelty knows no bounds. You're probably an idiot.

[Jack Armstrong]

It.

[Katie Green]

I feel sorry for those people. I feel no need to like come up with new pejorative terms.

[Jack Armstrong]

I do put them in a camp. Sad or certainly don't let them vote.

[Katie Green]

Wow. Deny them the vote. I do enjoy a good judge show now and again. I used to get my hair cut at a place there that was all they had on during the, the afternoon when I'd go is judge shows. And that's the only time I'm gonna sit still for a half hour watching it.

[Jack Armstrong]

But key in that whole phrase is now and again. Sure, I could find myself in a situation where I could kill some time watching a judge show perhaps, but who's tuning into these every day? How is your life? And again, then again, you're still watching network tv. That's your thing.

[Katie Green]

All right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, fine.

[Katie Green]

Yeah, we mentioned the other day that May, this past May was the, the dawn of the age of streaming dominance. More Americans watched TV streamed than cable and broadcast combined.

[Jack Armstrong]

My kids haven't got the slightest concept of like abc, NBC, cbs. Not, not, not. They, they wouldn't know those letters.

[Katie Green]

So you don't make them go and hold on to the aerial during the fourth quarter of the basketball game to make sure the reception is good. Oh, an old timey reference, folks.

[Jack Armstrong]

Some of you got it. There's another clip in there I wanted to reference. Oh, just on the whole Trump delaying for two weeks, do you think there's any chance you think he's just being deliberate or do you think he's getting cold feet, thinking maybe he doesn't want to get involved in something that could spin out of control?

[Katie Green]

Yeah, it's tough to separate those two things. Yeah, I, yeah, I think it's a combination of those things. Honestly, two weeks is. There's no need for that. I can't imagine what will happen in the next two weeks that would further clarify the decision. Well, I have seems like just delaying it to me. Unless he actually thinks the Ayatollah might come. Correct.

[Jack Armstrong]

I have a possible explanation for that that I heard this morning.

[Katie Green]

Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

But first, this reporting, I think from, I don't remember who it was. From one of your news outlets. And it's either true or is it not? Trump continues to make decisions with only a small handful of officials within the White House. This is the group that he's got with him discussing this stuff. You'll notice some names missing, including one Prominent the group that he's sitting with every day, Vice President J.D. vance. I have no idea what J.D. vance's take is on this deal. I haven't heard him. I mean, he's probably, you know, going along with his boss. But you think? Yeah.

[Katie Green]

That statement he made on Twitter the other day was pretty much, the president has earned our trust on this. We have to trust his judgment.

[Jack Armstrong]

You think if he was president, we wouldn't be doing this?

[Katie Green]

I don't know. It's a slippery character he's putting it. And in a real maneuver, it reminds me a little of Josh Hawley.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump is meeting with JD Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who he obviously really trusts. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who's probably just saying as long as there are no illegal immigrants in Iran, that's all I care about.

[Katie Green]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

He's meeting with Marco Rubio, who's both the Secretary of State and the acting National Security Adviser, as we all know. And that's it. A couple of names not there. Tulsi Gabbard, your dni. Okay. That one is defendable, as we were talking about yesterday. But no. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, the Sec Def is not involved in the biggest military action of the last quarter century. What's that about?

[Katie Green]

I'm surprised to hear that.

[Jack Armstrong]

My guess would be he feels like the people from the Pentagon are the when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail crowd and they're always pushing you to go to war. He that's what I'll bet Trump thinks.

[Katie Green]

Oh, yeah. And you could make the argument that it's because I would say this is the most pivotal military decision in the last 25 years as opposed to biggest. And I'm not just quibbling. It's that it's if indeed we can limit it to a couple of bunker buster strikes, there's no need to get a lot more information on the, the, the logistics of it. He has that. Well, we'd be still, it's surprising the SEC Def isn't there.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's going to war with Iran. What's bigger than going to war with Iran over the last quarter century? Yeah, I mean that's by definition going to war with Iran, right?

[Katie Green]

Sure.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know if you have any guess why the secretary of defense wouldn't be in the meetings. You know, let me know. But here's the pushback on your why would you wait two weeks? Because I, I wondered that too. I was watching General Wesley Clark on News Nation this morning. I don't know if you remember him, him, he's a half a crackpot when he tried to run for president as a Democrat many cycles ago, but he was the commander of the allied forces during the whole Kosovo thing. So he knows something about what he's talking about with regime change and that sort of stuff. And he said it took weeks for us to punish Milosevic enough before he finally realized, I'm gonna lose everything, including my life and my family if I don't come to the negotiating table. And. And Wesley Clark thinks that might be what's going on here is that Iran is just. Israel is going to continue to. Because they did overnight. They took out a whole bunch more stuff last night. They took out the. The factories that make the rockets, for instance. That Israel is going to continue to punish Iran and that it might take weeks to get the mullahs to realize, okay, this is definitely not working.

[Katie Green]

Okay, yes, they have fewer and fewer options on the table. I could see that.

[Jack Armstrong]

But it sure looks like Israel's starting to get punished a little, too. And at least the Wall Street Journal reported earlier in the week that Israel's running out of defense and they're spending.

[Katie Green]

Up to $200 million a day.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Katie Green]

Yeah. Yeah. Not to mention something like 400 million and counting in repairs and reconstruction costs just from the missile strikes that have gotten through. So, you know, they don't have an un. They don't have an unlimited time. Well, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But if you run out of your air defense capability. Oh, things would change fast.

[Katie Green]

Oh, sure. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

When those.

[Katie Green]

What does it look like?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. When those 150 Iranian drones are headed toward Tel Aviv and you can't shoot them down, maybe then we can because we got the assets in the area. I don't know.

[Katie Green]

Some of them. Yeah. Or does Israel go with. With massive deterrence? Probably not a mushroom cloud probably, but like massive, massive attacks on Tehran.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. And go it alone because they don't want to wait two weeks. Who knows? We got mailbag on the way. And then as Joe mentioned, this is one of the best things. I mean, I don't remember the last time I was this excited. Three of the stupidest things that have ever been said in one segment. That all happened in the last 24 hours. We have those to kick off.

Hanging around, drinking wine and eating fancy foods.

[Karen Kilgariff]

You laugh.

[Jack Armstrong]

I laugh. More on that later.

[Katie Green]

Here is your freedom loving quote of the day. Now I've got a very verify I'm a human. Yesterday when I was on your page. You idiots.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, are you?

[Katie Green]

This one is controversial. I may be AI poorly constructed. Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. Alexis de Tocqueville that's an ongoing debate question in libertarian conservative circles. Can you have morality without faith? Faith? I think you can. It's just a bit of a different beast. But that is a thick discussion for another day.

[Jack Armstrong]

You certainly can in individuals and individuals. You can have plenty of morality being a hardcore atheist. But can you culturally wide scale? I don't know. It's never been done before, has it?

[Katie Green]

Not successfully, I don't think. I'm sure historians will contradict us, but that would we would all learn something. So contradict away friends. Mailbag Perhaps you can contradict us at [e-mail] that is our email address. John from Kansas yearns for a More light hearted show like that of yesteryear, the Armstrong and Getty show. I include some examples. Very amusing. John from Kansas. We're aware, we are aware of the times we're living in.

[Jack Armstrong]

We are on a war footing.

[Katie Green]

Moving along. Aaron from beautiful North Carolina writes. Jack, Joe, I keep hearing that Trump is gonna bomb Frodo. What is Frodo doing in Iran? He's done so much for Middle Earth. Don't bomb Frodo.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. Well, you gotta look everywhere for the ring.

[Katie Green]

Oh. In a similar vein, Mike writes, and he uses a rather explicit, well, a somewhat explicit reference to. To the act of love. Whether limited airstrike is. Is a realistic estimate of how much involvement we would have in attacking Iran. His summary being if you're in, you're in you and it is you and I, I, I answered actually yeah. Both actions do have a history of escalation. Even if you plan on limited involvement. Wow. Or entry as it were. If you, if you go that far.

[Jack Armstrong]

And your plan is limited involvement. What kind of plan was that?

[Katie Green]

Oh, I don't know that you plan. Are we on the act of love or bombing Iran? The act of love. How do you. Confused by the metal.

[Jack Armstrong]

My plan is limited involvement. Well, I'm good. What do you mean you're good?

[Katie Green]

Often the plea is made or occasionally I will only.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, are we, are we 19 in this scenario?

[Katie Green]

Well, you're in that scenario. In this scenario the age is immaterial.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, how would you ever have the situations like grown ups though?

[Katie Green]

I know, I know. Well, you wouldn't think right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Katie is. Katie's staying out of this conversation completely.

[Katie Green]

Oh, why?

[Jack Armstrong]

She probably should. Hell yeah. I am.

[Katie Green]

Drew the millennial right Trucker Tom. It's not actually Tom, but that, that'll do. Whose email we read overtly anti Semite and woke. Right. And the rest of it illustrates the woke right phrase very well. They have so much contempt for the people opposite them politically, but don't realize how similar they are with the woke left. It's funny to watch. Among many other characteristics is the circular reasoning of argumentation. I'm willing to bet that he has already responded with something like See the Zionists call any criticism of them anti Semitic to suppress any scrutiny. It's the same circular reasoning. What's a racist? Someone who does racist things. He'll claim he's the victim of Zionist oppression of thought, claim he'll be tarred for anti Semitism for any questioning of Israel Judaism, then say something flagrantly anti Semitic. And when the obvious bigotry is pointed out. He'll claim that proves his point. It's like the Ryan Long Woke versus Racist video. One of the best bits of political parody I've ever seen. All of these people need to hang out together, develop some self awareness. I I believe Ryan Long's Woke versus Racist belongs in the pantheon of the greatest humor soaked editorials in American history.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sure, it's like Samuel Johnson or any of the great thinkers. I mean, it's amazing.

[Katie Green]

Mark Twain, Hunter Thompson. I think he moved millions of minds with that that video. Ryan, we salute you. This from Chris in Spirit Lake, Idaho. I've never been to Spirit Lake, but it sounds fantastic.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah.

[Katie Green]

Anyway, he says I'm very skeptical of AI. It looks like more of a parlor trick than anything. Yesterday, in the third segment of Ang on Demand, Jack asked GPT about the origins of the phrase when the ass hits the fan chat. GPT spat out a response stating the earliest cited source of the phrase was from the 1939 novel Singing the Blues by Hal Doby. I went to look into said novel and discovered it doesn't exist. Really? Really. Hallucination?

[Jack Armstrong]

Really?

[Katie Green]

I haven't looked it up myself, but that's what Chris claims.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'll look into that because that'd be fascinating. I know. It's a the hallucinations a real problem Nobody note.

[Katie Green]

And some other good ones coming up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody knows why AI does that either, or if they can stop it from doing that. If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
