Episode Overview

This episode of Armstrong & Getty covers the looming U.S. government shutdown, a rare mass gathering of military leaders with President Trump, concerns over military readiness, viral teen slang and generational divides, political violence, and classic Armstrong & Getty banter on current events and cultural oddities. The tone is characteristically irreverent, skeptical of media-driven panic, and peppered with humor and personal anecdotes.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Government Shutdown (03:10–05:10)

• Media Overhype & Public Apathy:
  The hosts lampoon media hysteria about government shutdowns, joking about absurd consequences (like turning Mount Rushmore into pickleball courts), and argue that outside of people directly dependent on government, most Americans "never heard one human being…bring it up."

  • Quote (Joe Getty, 03:58):
    “They led with the government shutdown. Saved me a lot of time. I’m not watching that crap. ...Nobody cares about that. But people who live or work in D.C. or work in the government, nobody else cares.”

• Real Consequences:
  Acknowledgement that military families and Social Security recipients sometimes express concern.

---

2. Military Leadership Gathering & "Warrior Ethos" (05:10–09:47)

• Unprecedented Meeting:
  President Trump attending a rare, all-hands meeting with around 800 top military officers at Quantico, VA. The stated purpose is to remind the military of its "warrior ethos," which hosts assert is necessary after a period where the military became “a woke jobs program.”

  • Quote (Jack Armstrong, 07:23):
    “There is absolutely no question that our military had become a woke jobs program under the Democratic administration. So go get it. We’ll see how it goes.”

• China & Russia as Context:
  Joe Getty wonders if the meeting is a show to China and others that the U.S. is vigilant.

• Host Tone:
  Both are openly supportive of moves to refocus the military on traditional strengths.

---

3. Russian Threats & Cable Sabotage (07:39–11:53)

• 60 Minutes Segment Recap:
  Russia’s undersea sabotage—dragging ship anchors to cut NATO nations’ undersea communication and energy cables. The hosts marvel at the drama of Finland's special forces boarding and stopping a Russian-backed ship, and the convoluted ownership designed to mask Russian involvement.

  • Quote (Joe Getty, 09:47):
    “It is an unsettled sea out there.”

• Implications:
  This, paired with Chinese aggression at sea, is evidence of an increasingly volatile global security environment.

---

4. U.S. Missile Stockpiles & Military Readiness (09:47–12:29)

• Production Shortages:
  Pentagon’s urgent meetings with weapons makers to ramp up missile production for a potential future conflict with China or Russia.

  • Missiles take up to 2 years to produce:
    • Jack Armstrong (11:06): “It’s two years time. ...They’re incredibly sophisticated machines.”
  • Strategic Concerns:
    Enemies (e.g., Russia, Iran, China) exploit slow production cycles by depleting Western stockpiles.

• Ukraine’s Situation:
  Russia is “draining” Ukraine’s defenses by targeting civilians relentlessly to exhaust defensive resources.

---

5. Viral Teen Slang: "6, 7" & Generational Divide (14:00–23:38)

• New Slang Phenomenon:
  The puzzling rise of the phrase "six, seven" (from a viral song and TikTok) among Gen Alpha (the next youth cohort).
  Armstrong & Getty admit total confusion, with Joe sharing a story about his son’s nonchalance to his discovery of it.

  • Quote (Joe Getty, 19:49):
    “They could have been from Kazakhstan and speaking their language, I would have had as much luck of understanding what the hell they were talking about...”
  • Quote (Jack Armstrong, 22:50):
    "Let the record reflect that it was at this moment that I gave up."

• Schools Respond:
  Some ban it for disruption, others fold it into teaching (e.g., six to seven-word writing assignments).

• Hosts’ Generational Exasperation:
  They express both amusement and resignation at their irrelevance in youth culture, half-jokingly suggesting stricter schools and the return of “the paddle.”

---

6. Mass Shootings, Political & Cultural Violence (27:15–33:35)

• Two Kinds of Violence:

  1. Acts by organized groups (e.g., antifa, political extremists).
  2. Violent outbursts by suicidal, isolated individuals seeking infamy (most modern mass shootings).
  • Quote (Jack Armstrong, 29:10):
    "And we've got to recognize this in the half wit jackasses in the mainstream media, never will because they have neither the capacity nor the desire to understand anything. And they suck at their jobs and I hate them.”

• Social Media’s Role:
  Cited as exacerbating alienation and feeding both violence and rising stats of depression/anxiety.

  • Joe Getty (31:14):
    “Listening to Governor Cox last night talk about the social media thing ... and I was just thinking, is there a solution to this? I’m not sure there is.”

---

7. New York Politics: Eric Adams’ Exit; Why Young People Turn to Socialism (33:35–37:26)

• Eric Adams Withdrawing:
  Speculation on what deal was struck for the embattled NYC mayor to exit the race. Who stands to benefit?

  • Quote (Joe Getty, 34:36): "One crook dropped out so that now a different crook can run alone against the communist to see who’s gonna be mayor of New York. What a situation.”

• Generational Politics & Socialist Lean:
  Wall Street Journal analysis: The 2008 financial crisis (home foreclosures, bailouts) left a lasting scar, pushing young people to favor socialism.

  • Jack Armstrong (35:58):
    "It's unfortunate that so much of the crash was set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market... young people reacted to that with, ‘we need more crappy government policy. In fact, we need the government in charge of everything.’”

---

8. Cultural Odds & Ends

• Kamala Harris Book & Avoidance of Joe Rogan (42:04–45:18):
  The hosts gleefully mock Harris’ account of skipping a Joe Rogan interview during the campaign, noting logistical excuses are ridiculous given access to private jets.

  • Quote (Jack Armstrong, 44:59):
    "I literally gave them an open invitation. ... I'll do it at 9 in the morning. I'll do it at 10pm. I'll do it at midnight. Whenever you guys say, let's do it."

• Massachusetts Foster Parents & Affirming Trans Children (45:26):
  Brief mention and outrage about new foster care requirements, promising deeper discussion in the future.

• Soft-On-Crime Networks:
  Next hour’s tease—mapping interconnected organizations and ideas behind lenient criminal justice policies.

• Youth Fitness Anecdotes (46:08–48:46):
  Joe’s observations as a parent at a Boy Scout fitness event—surprised at which kids can do pull-ups and reflecting on how modern children are less active than those in prior generations.

  • Quote (Jack Armstrong, 48:07):
    “I think we are [getting weedier]. And it wasn’t character that made me do physical stuff all day long. It was my only option.”

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Americans bracing for a government shutdown. The deadline looming, the top four congressional leaders set to meet with President Trump at the White House. A last ditch effort to make a deal. That's right, the government shutdown. Mount Rushmore will be sanded smooth. Mount McKinley leveled, the Lincoln Memorial turned into pickleball carts.

[Joe Getty]

Why would they. Why would they sand smooth Mount Rushmore?

[Jack Armstrong]

Because of a government shutdown, we can't have nice things. All right, Shut it down. Or don't.

[Joe Getty]

I watch the Sunday talk shows, at least portions of them every Sunday, man. They all. They led with the government shut down. Saved me a lot of time. I'm not watching that crap. Nobody cares about that. But people who live or work, who live in D.C. or work in the government, nobody else cares. I've never heard one human being. And all these government shutdown things that have happened in our career, I've never heard one human being in real life ever bring it up.

[Jack Armstrong]

To me, the only time I've heard people actually plugged in is military families hoping they'll get their rent, whatever, or oldsters afraid of Social Security. But so much of the actual angst that exists, and there's much, much less than the media would have you believe, but some of it that actually exists is just because it's been whipped up by the media. Anyway, that's enough of that garbage.

[Joe Getty]

No kidding.

[Jack Armstrong]

So one of the departments of the government that people do care about cost.

[Joe Getty]

A lot of money to sand down Mount Rushmore.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you can't have. If your government is shut down, you can't have national monuments. Everybody knows that. Mojave Desert filled with water, etc. Grand Canyon Cement filled with cement.

[Joe Getty]

Is that what you want anyway?

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway. Oh, God, just the whole. You need the government. The federal government is the most important thing in the world. You need it. You need it. Oh, it makes me want to vomit. Anyway. You don't want to hear me vomit, so let's move along this. The Department of Defense is a department people actually do care about, and with good reason.

[Joe Getty]

Department of War.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, I get confused because various media outlets are still calling it the old time name, which is the legal name. It's like the Gulf of America. Anyway. God, the modern world tires me out. Uh, President Trump is going to join that unusual gathering of US Military commanders convening tomorrow. We told you about that. Last week, all the 800 or so generals and admirals, as well as senior enlisted folks were ordered on short notice to convene at Quantico, Virginia for the event unprecedented in recent decades. This has not happened in many, many moons or at all. I don't know. But anyway, Trump was talking to NBC News over the weekend and said it's really just a very nice meeting, talking about how well we're doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a, a lot of good, positive things. We have some great people coming in, and it's just an esprit de corps. You know the expression esprit de corps. That's all it's about. Further, Hegseth is expected to address the senior officers and enlisted leaders. Enlisted leaders on his calls to cultivate a warrior ethos in the armed services and the other priorities of the Pentagon's current leadership. You've got various folks complaining it'll be expensive. They should be able to get on a zoom call or something. All right. Okay.

[Joe Getty]

But, so is, is Pete feeling that there's not a warrior ethos in the military? Is that what he's trying to say?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, he made it very, very clear during the election and transition that he thought not enough the military had become a woke jobs program as opposed to a, an organization of warriors. So I suspect this is just another step in the, the transition.

[Joe Getty]

I just, I wonder if it's just not a signal to China, for instance, that, hey, we're, we're, we're staying on top of things.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, probably. So. I like it. Hey, have at it. Because there is absolutely no question that we had, our military had become a woke jobs program under the Democratic administration. So go get it. We'll see how it goes.

[Joe Getty]

Well, that, so that second story on 60 Minutes last night, if you happen to see it, and the, the short version of what happened there is over the last several years, Russia has been cutting cables, undersea cables that various NATO members need for communication, energy, all that sort of stuff. And the most recent example being this big giant oil tanker that 60 Minutes, with seven months of investigation, was able to trace back to Russia dropped to anchor this big giant tanker ship dropped its anchor to the ocean floor and drug its Anchorage for 60 plus miles, cutting all kinds of important cables of communication and energy between Finland and Estonia, particularly in that sea there, right by Russia. Russia's on the other side of it and obviously deliberately doing it Finland. So as it's going on, they catch up when it's going. And it was heading toward an even more important cable. They knew what was happening. They landed like their version of Seal Team 6 on the ship and took over the ship, which is really quite the dramatic thing. Wow. And, and, and I am the cabin. I am the captain now. Let's have a sauna. Yeah. And, and stopped it from going any farther and causing any more damage. And there were many, many layers of distance between the, the people running the ship and then the people owning the ship and then the people financing the ship. And they had to go much investigation to go back, back, back to get to where it was. Russia, but it's clearly Russia. The, the captain of the ship and the crew claiming we had no idea our anchor was down, which all other people that they interviewed says nonsense. There's no way. You don't know you're dragging your anchor across the ocean floor. But isn't that crazy? It's between Russia dragging anchors around the sea to cut cables and getting away with it and China bumping into ships in the Philippines and doing their stuff, man, it is an unsettled sea out there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which brings us to the previous story we were talking about and one more. I think Trump and Hegseth both believe that the Department of Defense needs to understand it is a department of war and that the prospect for armed conflict is not imaginary. It's not, you know, just taking classes on World War II. It's something that could be happening in front of us very, very soon. To that end, the Pentagon, alarmed at the low weapons stockpiles that we would have on hand for any potential future conflict with China, is urging its missile suppliers to double or even quadruple production rates on a breakneck schedule. So there have been a series of high level meetings between Pentagon leaders and senior reps from our most prominent missile makers in which it has been made infinitely clear to them, you need to gear up fast and we will buy everything you can make. So get on it.

[Joe Getty]

Man. Serious times are coming, man.

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael, how long would you guess it takes to assemble an individual missile, a typical missile used by the United States? The production time. Production time.

[Joe Getty]

Hour and a half.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, I'm going to say about, I'll say a year. It's two years time. Well, because they're, I mean, they're incredibly sophisticated machines. Wow.

[Joe Getty]

So we shoot off those missiles, it takes two years to replace one.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Which is why, as we were discussing last week, those. I can't remember the Shahid Drones that Iran is cranking out are in such demand because they're big and nasty enough they can provoke a country, the us, Israel, Europe, Ukraine, whatever, to use, squander, waste all of their anti aircraft missiles. Right. And they know our production schedules hell better than we do. That's Xi Jinping. Makes that his business. Yeah, that's the game they're playing. Drain us or Russia?

[Joe Getty]

Ukraine, obviously. Russia attacked Kiev with a relentless flurry of drones and rockets over the weekend. Almost entirely civilian targets, which nobody seems to pay any attention to, but with the same theory, I guess that eventually the defense system will run out of all the technology before you can rebuild it. Because it takes, as you just said, longer than we thought.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, right. Do we have the budget?

[Joe Getty]

Don't have a choice.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right. But the money's got to be switched around in our system somehow or other. Because analysts say that hitting the Pentagon's aggressive targets would cost tens of billions of dollars. And the big beautiful bill providing an additional 25 billion in five year munitions funding. But the actual need is much higher than that. A word from our friends at Trust and Will. You know you need to do this, get security and peace of mind by making an estate plan. Now, do you need a trust or a will? What's the difference? They will coach you through all of that. They make it easy and affordable. Now you've heard it's really expensive, right? Well, you can create and manage your custom estate plan starting at 199 bucks. A trust is a little more, but again they'll help you understand which is which and why you need whatever you need.

[Joe Getty]

Oh man. This is going to bring you such peace of mind and have you set up for the future. And it's just a good idea all the way around. Have all your important documents in one place. Bank level encryption with the live customer support through chat, phone or email. This step by step process is going to guide you through the whole thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yep. Secure your assets, protect your loved ones with trust and will. You know you need to do this and it feels so good when it's done. Judy and I just got done. Trust me, it's a good feeling. Get 20% off on your estate plan documents by visiting trustandwill.com Armstrong. That's trustandwill.com Armstrong. Or doom your family to tearing themselves apart after you're gone because you didn't do it. Trust and Willcom slash Armstrong. That was guilt at the end. That was an overt appeal to a guilty conscience. And it was over the top And I apologize.

[Joe Getty]

The schools across the country are trying to deal with the 67 phenomenon, which I had never heard of. And if you bring it up to your teenager, they are going to laugh at you, guaranteed. But I had never heard of it at all.

[Jack Armstrong]

So.

[Joe Getty]

So bring you up to speed on that. It's one of those things that young people know about but older people don't know about. We'll get to that next segment and.

[Jack Armstrong]

One more story about the military and in this case, Russia. Do you remember back when old, old man Prigozhin and his, his boys were, were such a force? What was the name of his organization? I can't even remember though. The Wagner group or Wagner Group, I'm sorry, studied German for years. I can't bring myself to pronounce it Wagner. But the Wagner group was a huge military force in Africa. And a lot of African countries said, look, our military is a little weak. We're not sure we can trust our generals. Come in and help us, would you? And so Russia had spread its umbrella of and power all over some critical parts of Africa. Well, the Kremlin's efforts to keep the Wagner group going post Prigozhin's unfortunate airline incident has been very, very unsuccessful. And so all these countries are calling the US Again, saying, hey, you remember how we used to be friends and you would help us against our Islamist lunatics? Are you guys still available? So our influence is filling that vacuum again, apparently, which is probably a good thing as Russia continues to deplete its, you know, its forces, its weaponry and its influence.

[Joe Getty]

Couple of mass shootings over the weekend that we might want to touch on. It's just, is there anything to say about any of these that does anybody any good is the question, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

But maybe later in getting ready to start the show, I always do the same thing, which is go through everything I had prepared over the last couple of days and decide which of it would still be great. And some of it is kind of out of date or it's been replaced by more urgent stuff. And I found myself saying, oh, that was two rounds of horror ago. We're not talking about that anymore.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

So though it is relevant and important, we'll just. Now I'll get rid of that because we have so much new horror to talk about. It's not pleasant.

[Joe Getty]

Teachers and their clever ways to deal with the 67 phenomenon. It's actually kind of funny. Among other things.

[Jack Armstrong]

On the way. Stay here, Armstrong and Getty.

Young people have always had their slang or whatever, right, that the older crowd doesn't know. And it's how you separate yourself as a young. Oh, I had a funny experience with my. My high schooler and his buddy. We picked up at his house and we're driving back and listening to them talk in the backseat of my truck.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

They could have been from Kazakhstan. And speaking their language, I would have had as much luck of understanding what the hell they were talking about, various terms they were using. So I read this article about 6, 7 last night, and my son is out. So I text him. I said, do you or any of your friends say six, seven? He said, there's no way. You're just becoming aware of this. I thought, well, I just did. What does 6, 7 mean? The new brain rot slang kids are saying, according to this article. And of course, six, seven, it's not. Well, that's part of it. Well, that's it. Yeah, right there from that song. It's not new. According to my son. You're just now learning about this. A new viral trend has taken social media by storm, and it's creeping into classrooms across the country. It's called the 6, 7, 7 trend. While the name suggests numbers, there's no math involved. Decoding what it actually means is very tricky. It comes from this song. Can you hit that again? 6 7, by Skrilla, called Doot doot. And it features a recurring lyric, six, seven, over and over again. Six, seven, six, seven, six, seven, six, seven. In the. In the song doot doot, you say six, seven, and it's become a popular sound to select when you post videos on TikTok or Instagram. It also has an association with Lamelo Ball, a basketball player who's 67 somehow is factored into this. I don't quite understand. But anyway, it's become. Become ingrained in general Generation Alpha language. Is that what we're supposed to call young people now? Because we went through Z and we're back to A.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right.

[Joe Getty]

It's as common as LOL and YOLO were to millennials back in the day. Here's my favorite part, though. What does it mean? That's still up in the air. It can be used as a casual descriptor. To say something is so. So refer to someone as tall or simply as a joke without a punchline. Basically, it means nothing, which annoys parents and teachers. Since kids are constantly saying it, writing it, singing it. Six, seven.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of your big dictionaries had their list of new words came out a few weeks ago, and one of them was skibidi. And what struck me was their standards included terms that are likely to endure in the langu language for many years to come. And I thought, that's not gonna endure till Christmas.

[Joe Getty]

Some schools are trying to ban it because it's become so disruptive. Others are embracing it. And they had a teacher here who counts up to five and then waits for the kids, the kids to all say, six, seven. And then they all laugh to make it feel like, you know, I'm. I'm one of you. She's found a way, this teacher, to incorporate it into teaching methods. We're reading from page six and seven today. And then everyone laughs. Six, seven. Or writing challenges. You have a writing challenge in English in which you are allowed six to seven minutes to write what you're gonna write, or you do it in 67 words.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let the. Let the record reflect that it was at this moment that I gave up.

[Joe Getty]

Me too.

[Jack Armstrong]

Michael and I have given up together.

[Joe Getty]

Are you even as someone in your early 30s, too old for 6 7?

[Jack Armstrong]

I. I have no idea what they're. I.

[Variety Host / Cynthia Littleton (voiceover)]

At least when I was younger, our slang meant something.

[Jack Armstrong]

And I'd like a definition.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well. And like I said, I asked my son about. He's like, you're just now learning about it. So the new slang is old and tired for whatever. Just letting you know I'm old and tired. I hear you. The fact that English teachers are saying we're gonna have an essay writing assignment and you have six to seven minutes to write it. To try to hook in people, I guess.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or we need military academies all over this country, every state, every town.

[Joe Getty]

We need school uniforms. We need short hair. We need skirts below the knee. We need all of it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Bring back the paddle. Yes, all of it. The moment has arrived.

[Joe Getty]

Clapping erasers. Everything needs to come back. Something needs to be done.

[Joe Getty]

This is yet another message of it's.

[Jack Armstrong]

Not us and them, it's us.

[Joe Getty]

It's a country. It's a people. And when these things happen, instead of the Divide.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is the time to unite. That is a sheriff in Michigan talking about how we've got to do something about all this violence in the wake of, I don't know, pick your favorite bit of horror of the last week and a half to a month.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I didn't know where you were going to say there if it was somebody in North Carolina from that guy that shot up that bar, whatever. Yeah, I don't know. So on the political violence stuff, it's easier because you can talk about the rhetoric and how we're all Americans and this is only going to get worse if we don't blah, blah, blah. On just the random. I'm just mad at this church, bar, school, whatever. I don't know, my life. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

We have in my mind two distinct things happening. Number one, there is political violence that is the culmination of a maybe stupid and crazy but thought out formation of a political philosophy. You got your antifa violence, for instance. They know what they're doing and why they're doing it. They all talk about it all the time. They are a group. You have various groups on campus. You got the up with Hamas, people committing various acts of violence. You have some folks on the right who are loonies, they have their militia in the woods, whatever. Once in a great while they committed an act of violence. That is one thing. Then the other thing is, and we've got to recognize this in the half wit jackasses in the mainstream media, never will because they have neither the capacity nor the desire to understand anything. And they suck at their jobs and I hate them.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, the other thing that we have going is the I'm angry, I'm probably suicidal. I think other people should be hurt. And sometimes those people grasp onto an ideology like in the last four months before they commit their glorified suicide.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, that's what most of these are, glorified suicides.

[Jack Armstrong]

And the way they get attention for their suicide is to take a few or a bunch of people with them. That is a different thing. And, and we need to recognize that as a society, I think. But as far as going over the details of the latest horrors and the, the suspected motivations and blah, blah, I just don't have it in me.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and there's there, well, not only that, is it depressing and I don't have it in me? There's just no, there's no point. There's just no point in it. So the governor of Utah was the lead story on the season premiere of 60 Minutes last night. You know, that got so much attention after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in his state. And he was again on 60 Minutes last night going on about social media and the evils of it and how it's making us all insane and crazy. Do you think that plays a role at all in the glorified suicide stuff? I wonder if it does. Just because it makes the world seem worse than it is.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, and. And I think it is just. I think the culture of this has got to be posted online to validate the experience online is what life is that a lot of the. Because you point out to me, please, the next time one of these shooters turns out to be an outgoing person who was involved in several civics organizations and not. He spent all his time online. He smoked a lot of potty, played a lot of video games. So their worldview is it's got to be big and be posted online to matter.

[Joe Getty]

Man. I was listening to Gov. What's his name? What's the governor of Utah's name?

[Jack Armstrong]

Cox.

[Joe Getty]

I can't remember his name for the version. I was listening to Governor Cox last night talk about the social media thing and the algorithms and how it dominates our lives and how many hours it day people spend on it and that sort of stuff. And I was just thinking, is there a solution to this? I'm not sure there is. Just he's right about all that. I think he's 100% right about the damage it's doing and how it's crazy. It's making us and depressed and it seems like there's nothing good in the world and. But I don't know if there's anything that can be done about that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Spreading awareness of what you just said.

[Joe Getty]

Through what? Facebook?

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. You got to post it online.

[Joe Getty]

Post it on Tick tock. Have a tick tock dance about. This is bad for you here. I'm with the cat.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. The newest trend is to reject all trends.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not optimistic about that. Okay, so that's that. Here's a different story that got a lot of attention in the last 24 hours.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's five. You always go ahead. You always say that. And you're right. But that is the solution. It is clearly the solution. Anybody who's looked at it knows it's the solution.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but it's never going to happen. That's why I dismiss it.

[Jack Armstrong]

It is going to happen.

[Joe Getty]

You think people are going to turn away from. From the Internet?

[Jack Armstrong]

I think the people who turn away from the Internet are going to Turn away from the Internet.

[Joe Getty]

It's going to be a small percentage.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of people and we'll be very happy.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, you're talking about individuals. I'm talking about society.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I'm wanting society to get better. I'm wanting all these shootings to stop, for instance. That's not going to stop.

[Jack Armstrong]

True.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, well then we agree on that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, well, yeah, I know. It's, it's, it's. Yeah, it's an entirely rhetorical distinction. In the same way that a corporation is people. As Mitt Romney tried to point out to much mockery, society is a collection of individuals. There is no fixing society, quote unquote. There's only fixing individuals. But that is doomed as well.

[Joe Getty]

Why would anyone listen to this show? Can't imagine when you have many other options out there. Listen to some happy music or somebody talking about sports or something like that. Anyway, here's a different news story for you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Just five weeks before election day, the.

[Announcer 1]

Scandal scarred mayor of New York City.

[Jack Armstrong]

Eric Adams is dropping out of the race.

[Joe Getty]

Despite all, all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign. So the big question is who gave him what both, both Republicans and Democrats. Trump offered him a job a while back and Adam said he didn't want to take it, so. But there's all kinds of people offering him jobs. Spots on, you know, a corporate board where you're not going to have to do anything, where you're going to get paid a lot. Just get out of the damn race. There's so many people left, right and center who don't want the communists to become mayor. Democrats don't want it because it's gonna, they're gonna have that hung around their neck for however long he's mayor of New York is you want this, this party, this guy. Republicans don't want it because he's gonna bring policies that are gonna be awful. So no, nobody wants this guy. So I, I just wonder what did Eric Adams get to drop out? That's one story.

[Jack Armstrong]

The immunity.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that could be. Yeah. And then so you got the interesting thing of one crook dropped out so that it's now a different crook can run alone against the communist to see who's gonna be mayor of New York. What a situation. But the reason I wanted to bring this up is Wall Street Journal had an article of why young people are turning to socialisms. What was socialism? What is the moment that got them all interested in socialism? And according to the Wall Street Journal, the main moment for Mamnami himself and a lot of his Friends and a lot of people of that ilk today. It was the 2008 meltdown, financial crisis, people that were of the age that they were out and about, and new people who were losing their homes because the mortgage rate jumped all of a sudden because, you know, you bought it at 3% and then it jumps to whatever it was going to be after five years. And people said they didn't know that or whatever. But that whole thing where the world crashed, that's what the Tea Party grew out of. When we had the $800 billion bailout for these companies that had gone around ripping people off, they got bailed out. That is the ground zero for all the socialist communists out there of what turned them. The direction they got turned.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. It's unfortunate that so much of the crash was set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market. Barney Frank and Bill Clinton telling the banks, you gotta lend to anybody who fogs a mirror, otherwise we'll bring you down. They said, all right, we'll go ahead. And then they lent to people who had no business having a mortgage, and it all went kablooey. Credit default swaps, etc. But the young people reacted to that with, we need more crappy government policy. In fact, we need the government in charge of everything. That's how we'll prevent this. It's like we were saying last week, socialism is one of the greatest, most clever scams ever created by humankind because you can get young people to fall for it over and over again.

[Joe Getty]

It'll be interesting to see what the first polling is with Eric Adams out. And it's, you know, well, some of those people that were supporting him go to Momdami the commie. Or will they all go over to Andrew Cuomo, the woman grabbing old person killing liar and crook, and I love you.

[Jack Armstrong]

And that was the short version of Cuomo's resume right there. Yeah, yeah. Can we just call him the villain Cuomo or something to summarize it?

[Joe Getty]

And he's the. The great hope to stop the. The awfulness of the communists. Darling, I kissed a woman on the cheek. All right. Yeah, Funny situation.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know what? I'm desperate for something cheery. And. And after a quick word from our friends at Prize Picks, the gift that keeps on giving.

[Joe Getty]

In her new book, Kamala Harris said Gavin Newsom avoided her call after Biden dropped out of the race. To be fair, when she calls, it's usually at 3am after she fails a Breathalyzer.

[Announcer 1]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Gutfeld in his Kamala's a drunk theme. Okay, fair enough. Ah, so if Gutfeld had written Kamala's book, I'm not sure it would as thoroughly embarrass her as her own book does. Of course, I don't believe she wrote it. She just jabbered to some writer for a while and he crafted it into a book. But. Or she. But it is the gift that keeps on giving. She has explained, finally why she did not ever appear on the Joe Rogan Experience. Okay, that infamous incident, they were scheduled, they were talking about doing it and then she didn't do it. And we said it was because she and her people realized she can't she, she, she's not smart enough. She's too, you know, mushmouth. Well, they made just a bad idea.

[Joe Getty]

They made the argument the time that he wouldn't agree to their terms, but they made their terms unagreeable on purpose.

[Jack Armstrong]

So Harris recounts her side of the Rogan story in a section of her new book. She writes that she really wanted to do an interview with Rogan even as campaign aides argued it was a bad idea. That was in the book. And they were right. When Rogan's team asked Harris to come to Austin for the interview, however, Harris was uncertain about, quote, spending time in Texas so close to the election when every minute in a swing state mattered. But then she traveled to Houston.

[Joe Getty]

You lost every single swing state, so.

[Jack Armstrong]

But she traveled to Houston, which according to some experts is in Texas for a, quote, big rally on reproductive rights in late October.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

And Rogan said, hey, why don't you come to Austin the next morning? Harris writes, they said they could do it at 8:30am not later. As Joe had commitments. I had commitments as well. And it wasn't feasible to get from Houston to Austin by 8:30am by the way, there are multiple flights every day. If you fly commercial in coach, it's an hour. Okay. She was flying on Air Force Two and spent $2.6 million on private jets for campaign staffers, including herself, the month of that rally. Rally. The month of that rally. So the idea that she couldn't get to Houston to Austin is absolutely hilarious. Let's see. And then Harris claims contradict Rogan's account of the saga. Rogan said she had an opportunity to come here while she was in Texas. I literally gave them an open invitation. I said, anytime she's done at 10 o', clock, I'll come back here at 10 o'. Clock. I'll do it at 9 in the morning. I'll do it at 10pm I'll do it at midnight. Whenever you guys say, let's do it.

[Joe Getty]

And of course you would because, I mean, you can't hardly get a bigger. Get them that right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But Kamala's inner book says no. They told me it was 8, 8:30am and only 8:30am and it wasn't feasible to get from Houston to Austin, so couldn't do it. Well.

[Joe Getty]

She'S the same person she was, you know, when those decisions were being made. She possibly thinks she's actually going to run for president. I do not know.

[Jack Armstrong]

But yeah, yeah, it's absolutely hilarious. It won't happen, but it's Fun to talk about. Massachusetts is forcing foster parents to affirm trans children.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fighting against that boy.

[Joe Getty]

So you do the whole foster parent thing, which is a heck of a deal. It makes you a very special person, assuming you're not a nut job. And then the government forces you into this deal. Oof.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Yeah. And also next hour I'd like to get into how the whole soft on crime thing actually works. It's a system of interlocking organizations and ideas and we'll trace it for you so you know who's doing what. It's pretty interesting. I think.

[Joe Getty]

Yesterday I was at the, my son's boy scout physical fitness thing. There's like 20 scouts there and they're all doing push ups, doing sit ups, doing pull ups and running. And it's like a six week thing here. So you do it every couple of weeks. You time yourself, you count the numbers of whatever you're doing. Then you try to practice in between and see if you can improve. That's basically.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's cool.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it's a good idea. And then they talk about stuff you should eat and you know how the deal is. I am fit. I don't know if I'm more fit than the average 13 year old, but I'm more fit than Most of these 13 year olds, for better or worse. But it's amazing on how you can't look at a kid and have any idea how many pull ups they're gonna be able to do. I'll tell you that because I was.

[Jack Armstrong]

In charge of the pull up bar.

[Joe Getty]

With my clipboard and my pencil and everything like that. Counting the pull ups.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

There's just no way you can, you see a, you can see a wiry kid and you think this kid's gonna do ten, he, he does a half of one and then you see a different kid. You think, I don't know if he can do any cranks out eight. I don't know. It's just, it's the randomness of pull ups. Pull ups need to go away as a test of strength because nobody understands why some people can do it and some people can't.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. And how often do you have to pull yourself up in life? Thank God, not that often ever.

[Joe Getty]

But very seldom have I really needed to lean upon that skill.

[Jack Armstrong]

I haven't hopped a fence in many moons. So it's kind of, you know, you grab the top and you pull out that same muscle group.

[Joe Getty]

I suppose one very cute like 13 year old girl decided she, she might have been 11, she decided to skip the entire one mile run, which is a very 11 year old girl sort of thing to do. Very cute though.

[Jack Armstrong]

You gotta know your strengths, she said as she sat down for a smoke. No, I'm kidding. Not a smoke. Certainly not.

[Joe Getty]

I would like, I would like to have compared the group of 13 year olds from yesterday, the scouts from yesterday to, I don't know, 20 years ago, 40 years ago. I feel like we're getting weedier. I could be wrong.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh no, no, of course. I think we, we are. And it wasn't character that made me do physical stuff all day long. It was my only option if I wanted to amuse myself. It was either going to be a book or playing physical games, riding a bike.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. And you wouldn't have to go that many generations back before your average 13 year old was doing farm work.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Which is a great deal of exercise. You don't do a lot of push ups playing video games or watching Tick Tock.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, well, famously still, the guy with the hardest slap shot ever recorded in hockey was Bobby Hull whose training program was I'm a farm boy.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Bailing hay.

[Joe Getty]

Trump is meeting with Netanyahu. Sure to be news coming out of that at some point during the show today. And we'll have that for you. Trump has just slapped a 100% tariff on all movies made outside the United States. Hundred percent tariff? What is that going to mean to you? The moviegoer or watcher? Yeah, there's already a lot of opinions out. That and other stuff.
