Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Enduring Impact of Christianity on Western Culture

[03:10]–[07:46]

• Tom Holland’s “Dominion”: Jack Armstrong reflects on historian Tom Holland's thesis that Western culture is deeply rooted in Christian ideals—even for “woke” movements, which ironically inherit much from Christianity’s elevation of the marginalized.
  • Quote: “Tom Holland’s book came up a lot because his book ‘Dominion’ was all about how Western culture really is Christianity. Whether you're a Christian or not… We're all living on in Christianity.” (Jack, [05:26])
• Debate on 'No Western Culture': Echoing controversies about statements downplaying Western cultural significance (alluding to AOC's European remarks).
  • Quote: “One of the most stupid things that's ever been uttered in the English language or any other.” (Joe, [05:20])
• Armstrong recommends Holland’s accessible videos for new perspectives on Good Friday.
  • Quote: “If you want a different perspective… I highly recommend looking into that.” (Jack, [07:03])

---

2. Geopolitics: The Straits of Hormuz & European Military Lethargy

[08:02]–[10:16]; [32:35]–[37:45]

• The Straits of Hormuz remain closed, raising questions about Iran’s global leverage.
  • Quote: “Iran… has enormous power over the world economy through that little stupid expanse of water.” (Joe, [08:37])
• Discussion about Europe’s inability or unwillingness to shoulder military responsibilities, especially compared to swelling U.S. defense spending.
  • Quote: “They are utterly drowning in their welfare states and have completely lost the muscles of developing military power.” (Joe, [09:28])
• NATO’s relevance is questioned, with Macron’s critique of Trump and Trump’s barbs at European leaders highlighting fractures.
  • Macron: “Those were neither elegant nor befitting a president. I’m not going to respond to them.” (relayed by Jack, [31:34])
  • “Trump is hollowing out NATO every day by making these comments.” (Macron, via Jack, [34:37])
  • Quote: “They’ve so devalued themselves as allies, they’re practically useless except economically.” (Joe, [34:48])

---

3. Media, Public Concern, and Political Disconnect

[10:16]–[12:38]

• Armstrong questions how truly impactful Washington political dramas (like the firing of the Attorney General) are to everyday Americans.
  • Quote: “Is it one in a thousand? It might not even be that many people who care whether or not the Attorney General got fired…” (Jack, [10:16])
• The group jokes about discussing such topics at social gatherings, predicting apathy.
  • Quote: “Try bringing it up at a little gathering this afternoon and have everybody look around.” (Jack, [11:06])

---

4. Gender, Humor, and Sports Officiating

[12:52]–[16:36]

• Segment introduces a (fictionalized) lawsuit by an NFL female referee alleging discrimination.
• Hosts riff on old jokes about women in sports and the difficulty of officiating jobs, mixing satire with self-aware critique of sexist tropes.
  • Quote: “However, many complained she kept penalizing players for things they did four games ago. A classic. A classic. Women, you know, huh?” (Joe, [12:52])
  • “It’s funny because we don’t believe it’s true. That’s why it’s funny.” (Jack, [15:48])
• Quick debate over whether some sports jobs are ‘men’s work,’ all delivered satirically and flagged as such.
• Katie Green, as the woman in the room, participates and the crew discusses the mechanics of comedy and stereotype.

---

5. News Roundup with Katie Green

[20:19]–[23:06]

• World News:
  • Trump’s strong rhetoric towards Iran (“hasn’t even started” after strikes).
  • Israel/US determination to “crush Iran” and missile capabilities.
  • Discussion about the symbolic and strategic importance of bridges destroyed in Iran.
• Domestic News:

• The segment blends news, irreverent reaction, and light banter.

---

6. International Relations: Trump, Macron, and NATO Tensions

[29:58]–[37:45]

• Trump’s off-the-record jokes about Macron and his wife (“whose wife treats him extremely badly”) are leaked; Macron rebuffs as “not worthy of a response.”

• Macro-level tension: France, Britain, Germany’s military weakness vs. U.S. frustration at bearing NATO’s load.
  • Quote: “They should listen to what you were hinting at there. But I’m not sure they can.” (Joe, [09:28])
• Dilemma over European bases “actively getting in the way” of U.S. action by refusing logistical support.
• Speculation whether current developments will be seen as “Trump destroying the greatest alliance of all time or… just going that direction and maybe he hurried it along?” (Jack, [35:19])

---

7. Labor Market, the Economy, and Generational Opportunity

[37:28]–[38:03]

• The strong jobs report sparks banter about perceptions vs. reality—why do so many still think the economy is bad?
• Teaser: Armstrong mentions Wall Street Journal’s “sure path to financial success,” with Getty joking:
  • Quote: “You're too old. Forget it. You failed. Rap. No. You have no future. But others might.” (Joe, [37:57])

[40:49]–[46:20]

• Listener mail covers topics from Supreme Court rulings and the Strait of Hormuz to fun facts about rocket launches and space missions.

Summary for Non-Listeners

This Armstrong & Getty episode sees the hosts at their trademark best—navigating the world’s weightiest debates (from the roots of Western morality and culture in Christianity, to the shifting tectonics of international alliances and NATO), while laughing loudly at society’s oddities and idiocies (everything from gender battles in sports, to T. Rex handbags, to Tiger Woods using “the President” as a get-out-of-jail card). If you haven’t listened, expect a lively, funny, and intellectually curious conversation that ranges from history and war to modern politics, all while embracing the messiness and contradictions of the moment.

[Washable Sofas Announcer]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Get it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Special Good Friday edition of the Armstrong and Getty Show. How you all doing? Deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, where we toil today under the title of the show,

[Joe Getty]

Blondie Bondi, Going, Going Gondi.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or if you prefer,

[Joe Getty]

if you prefer, let's all muse about the Straits of Hormuz. It's the key to everything, Jack. The key to everything.

[Jack Armstrong]

Somebody to compile all these into a book. A coffee table book.

[Joe Getty]

A poor, poorly selling book, but a

[Jack Armstrong]

big coffee table book. Lots of pictures of you and all

[Joe Getty]

these different titles gesturing like a Shakespearean actor. I'm told that book is being produced. Beautiful.

[Bethany Frankel]

Go ahead.

[Joe Getty]

Fantastic. How y' all doing?

[Jack Armstrong]

It's Friday.

[Joe Getty]

We made it to Friday.

[Jack Armstrong]

We all made it.

[Joe Getty]

You wondered for a while if you're gonna make it, didn't you?

[Jack Armstrong]

We all did, but I don't know

[Public Investing Disclosures]

if I'm gonna make it.

[Joe Getty]

But you made without cracking. Fantastic. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, it is Good Friday. And do you remember why a month or so ago, we were talking about Tom Holland, the historian, all the time. He ended up in the news, at least in conservative circles. Historian Tom Holland. His book Dominion. Why did that burble up into the news flow?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my goodness. We're discussing his ideas, certainly, but I don't remember.

[Jack Armstrong]

It wasn't just us, though. It became a thing on the right. And I don't remember what drove it. Doesn't make any difference at this point because it was some discussion that was going on in America about focusing on the Roman Empire or something. I don't know what it was, but anyway, I was thinking about that today on Good Friday. Just if you have any interest in a new perspective. It was new to me anyway. Perspective on the whole. Christian. Oh, I know what it was now. It was that there. I think it was the whole. There is no culture. Western civilization has no culture.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, my God. One of the most stupid things that's ever been uttered in the English language or any other.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, it's coming back to me now. So AOC speech there in Europe about, you know, Western culture and There is no Western culture and all that different sort of stuff. And the pushback on that, that there is Western cult is, is there is a Western culture and it's a very, very big deal. And Tom Holland's book came up a lot because his book Dominion was all about how Western culture really is Christianity. Whether you're a Christian or not, you're, you're just. We're all living on in Christianity. Whether you've don't believe at all have never been a church in your life. It's just been that dominant a philosophy. Some of your most Western culture is

[Joe Getty]

fundamental precepts about the way humans should behave.

[Ryan Reynolds (Mint Mobile)]

Right.

[Joe Getty]

Come from the Judeo Christian tradition, whether you know it or not. Yeah, right.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly. And he, he makes the argument that like a lot of your woke stuff which is kind of, you know, odd because the woke crowd tends to be really anti religion is all driven by it to my mind in a. An overreach of the idea of, you know, the least of us and all that sort of stuff. But, but that's where it all comes from is the Christian idea or at

[Joe Getty]

least that's one of the pry bars they use to acquire power is to appeal to our Christian beliefs about the underdog and the rest of it. Yeah, exactly.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is a long way for me to getting to remember why I even learned about this.

[Joe Getty]

But anyhow.

[Jack Armstrong]

And it also.

[Joe Getty]

The whole woke thing bears so many of the hallmarks of a fundamentalist religion. But you know, it's a topic for another day.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you want a different perspective on the whole Christianity thing on this Good Friday, you don't have to read the thousand page book if you don't want to. There's plenty of YouTube videos of Tom Holland and he's, he's a very easy to listen to, likable guy. Explains things in a very easy way about the crucifix. Crucifixion on Good Friday and, and the way that changed Western culture and how it was completely different way of looking at the world of the powerless, having the power over the powerful and everything. And it's, it was absolutely fascinating to me like mind blowing different way of looking at all of it. And on this Good Friday, if you want to take a fresh perspective, I highly recommend looking into that.

[Joe Getty]

That is a fabulous thing you've brought to us. I brought squat in terms of perspective. You brought those titles. But dad, please, please, they're a mouse next to the elephant of your excellent recommendation.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's all muse about the Straits of Hormuz. I Mean, that's fantastic.

[Joe Getty]

It's. My God.

[Jack Armstrong]

Maybe I'll go into a later 9 o' clock hour when we, we stretch out sometimes because we're just tired of the show and really just going through the motions the last hour of the show. Explain a little bit of what Tom Holland is saying by that. Why the crucifixion was an upending of world philosophy that we are now all live in.

[Joe Getty]

I could not love that idea more.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let's do it. That's good stuff. Straight of Hormuz still closed looks like. Still no, no ships going through there.

[Joe Getty]

And that has become the focus of all of the efforts, all of the planning, all of the what if ism is centered on the Straits of Hormuz. Because Iran, which has very, very little, you know, power to project power, opportunity to project power, has enormous power over the world economy through that little stupid expansive water. And it's very difficult to pry that away from them.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Is this end up going to end up being a forcing mechanism on Europe to have to become a military power or at least wake up to the fact that, geez, we probably ought to be a military power. We probably ought to be able to protect ourselves and project our own interests around the world and not just count on the United States all the time.

[Joe Getty]

That question opens up another delicious can of worms. I was just looking at the budget request from the White House, which includes record setting spending on defense, which is absolutely necessary in my mind, and the point was made by at least one learned commentator that the rub is our welfare programs are on autopilot growth and we're already going broke. So how are we gonna square that? Well, Europe has got that problem times six. I mean, they are utterly drowning in their welfare states and have completely lost the muscles of developing military power, both personnel and technically. So man, they're, they're hurting. They, they should, they should listen to what you were hinting at there. But I'm not sure they can.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's a good one. I said this yesterday, right when we got off the air, the news broke that Trump had fired the Attorney General. The news media, and most of them live in Washington D.C. or New York, they're so into that sort of stuff. I would like to know the actual number. Is it one in a thousand? It might not even be that many people who care whether or not the Attorney General got fired or paid any attention or it means anything to them at all. I don't think it'd be one in a thousand.

[Joe Getty]

I don't know. I don't have a sense of that. I think it's more than you think, but I don't know how much more. Here's, Here's a question for you. How many people will bring it up in conversation today?

[Jack Armstrong]

Nobody.

[Joe Getty]

Because that's a pretty good threshold for how much you care about something or how interested you are, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, try this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Try bringing it up at a little gathering this afternoon and look. And have everybody look around.

[Joe Getty]

Like what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Somebody say something about sports or something? You know what?

[Joe Getty]

I'm going to be part of a gathering this evening. I. I'll try it if you want. Yeah. It's a pretty aware crowd, but we'll see.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think even then, I'll bet the conversation doesn't last more than a minute.

[Joe Getty]

So you preferred the Straits of Hormuz headline over the Bondi one? I have.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, the Bond headline is really good. I still think it's an interesting story.

[Joe Getty]

Right? Yeah. Yeah. What a thankless task that is. I'm going to bring it up. Being Trump's Attorney General. Oh, Lord, you would have to, you know, he called. Hey. And you'd have to say to your, your wife or your husband, who's probably young and hot, because I have a feeling the next person will be young and hot. You'd have to say, wow, this is like the honor of a lifetime. And I'm just gonna get murdered. It's gonna be six to 12 months, and then Trump is gonna throw me out on my ear for failing to execute his wishes. What do I do?

[Jack Armstrong]

What's the name of the guy they slid in? Flips out of my old mind. What's his name? But we've been talking for a couple of weeks, or at least. Mark Halpern's been writing for a long time. He's the Attorney General. He's the.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, the deputy.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, he's. What's his name? Somebody come up?

[Joe Getty]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

He, he, he's Todd Blanche. Yeah. Todd Blanche has, has been the power there for a long time. Everybody recognizes him as, like the grown up. Okay, now the serious person's here, so he's gonna fill in. He might just, he might just hang on to it, you know, like Trump sometimes also does.

[Joe Getty]

Whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. Let's start the show officially on a Friday. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday. Good Friday, April 3rd, the year 2026, where Armstrong and Getty and we approve this program.

[Joe Getty]

Let's begin then. Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark. A female former NFL ref is suing the league for being fired because of her gender. However, many complained she kept penalizing players for things they did four games ago. A classic. A classic. Women, you know, huh?

[DraftKings Announcer]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

I remember all the jokes that came out when she got named the ref. It was the. You throw a flag. What did I do? Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you. You know, that sort of thing. Right, right, right. Katie's shaking her head. She does not like this misogyny.

[Joe Getty]

You should know.

[Katie Green]

Let's just show women, huh?

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy. Yeah. She's citing gender based scrutiny, humiliation and open hostility among the indignities she suffered during her three seasons as a league official.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was thinking the other day about the umpires because baseball season started and they got the robot umps and everything like that. Very hard job to sit back there and try to call balls and strikes. But you don't have to run up and down the field or the court like you do in the NBA or the NFL. That would be quite the different job. You gotta be in such good shape to be a ref in those two sports.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Constantly running for like a basketball especially.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Up and down, up. And hockey referees and linesman. Yeah. Crazy fit.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. If I had, if I had to be in that, that line of work. I like the one where I just stand in one spot. Just gotta keep my eye on something.

[Katie Green]

I like the tennis judges.

[Jack Armstrong]

They get to sit.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah, tennis judges. That's even better. Sitting under an umbrella. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

I just sit under umbrella with it, please. It's got to be the easiest one. Here's a controversial statement, and I will stand by this. Being an NFL referee is men's work, period. Have men do it. The problems with the women is that they're just too too many.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's too many women.

[Joe Getty]

No, no, the problems are too many.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, oh, okay. Kind of like the. The deal with women in the military, you mean?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

It just creates a dynamic that's too. Got too many issues.

[Joe Getty]

Right. It's just. No, no, do something else.

[Jack Armstrong]

You don't mean like make a sandwich? You mean just something.

[Katie Green]

Go vacuum or something?

[Joe Getty]

Well, I would enjoy a sandwich. And the floor's not gonna vacuum itself, but no, I'm in a different profession. Oh, my God. Oh, that reminds me. That reminds me. During our little promos that we record, so they run on stations all over the country so people hopefully will tune in the next day. I mentioned the Wall street journal the quote unquote surefire new path to American prosperity. What line of work is that? We will reveal that to you.

[Jack Armstrong]

I like that. Briefly back to us throwing back our heads in laughter over the, you know, vacuum or something. That's the classic Ricky Gervais. It's funny because we don't believe it's true. That's why it's funny.

[Joe Getty]

Right? Correct. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great example. And those trying to discredit us as they have through the years we won would say listen to the sexist jokes they made. Right. But and they all laugh at that.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's confirming that that attitude is not good. That's why it's funny. A woman made it so yeah, I want that. Plus you made it right. That woman is Katie. And we have Katie's headlines next Armstrong and Gettysburg.

McCrone and Starmer said some pretty snarky things about the war and Trump yesterday in response, I guess, to Trump saying snarky things about them the day before. Anyway, we can touch on that a little later.

[Joe Getty]

Keir Starmer, who's got the similar approval ratings as gonorrhea. All right, more on that. Let's figure out who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green.

[Katie Green]

Katie from the from the Alphabet Network's NBC Trump warns United States, quote hasn't even started after strike destroys Iran Bridge ABC Israel and the US Will continue to crush Iran, according to Netanyahu and cnn US Intelligence assesses Iran maintains significant missile launching capability.

[Jack Armstrong]

Which is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I never did get to the finally understanding why it's all about the rockets thing. I'll have to get to that today because it's pretty darn interesting. It kind of changed my view of the war a great deal. Right?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I was looking at that, too. And Victor Davis Hansen on how he thinks it's going. Love vdh. Looking forward to reading that to you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you see that video of us blowing up their big bridge?

[Joe Getty]

Mm.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's something.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah.

[Katie Green]

From the Wall Street Journal. Hiring defied expectations in March with 178,000 new jobs.

[Jack Armstrong]

We beat expectations, everybody. Nice job.

[Joe Getty]

Stupid expectations.

[Katie Green]

From the athletic body cam footage shows Tiger woods telling police he was, quote, just talking to the President.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the all time. Do you know who I am? Of all time.

[Joe Getty]

You gotta.

[Jack Armstrong]

You gotta watch the video. And we'll play the audio later. But it is something. Yeah, I was just on the phone with the president. All right.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. They say, hey, we need you to stand over here, please. And he's like, yeah, I was over there because I was talking to you, the President. Oh, God.

[Katie Green]

I would think that would piss Trump off.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Look at your car. Look at, look at it.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's on its tires. On the bottom now.

[Joe Getty]

No, they're kind of off to the side. Shut up and sit down.

[Katie Green]

From USA Today, a new fashion statement comes to town. T Rex leather.

[Joe Getty]

Ooh.

[Katie Green]

Scientists. Scientists and designers have created. They're starting with a handbag, but it's manufactured from fragments of fossilized T Rex remains.

[Joe Getty]

All right.

[Bethany Frankel]

Fantastic.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Golf shoes. T. Rex golf shoes. Yes.

[Katie Green]

From study finds that antibacterial soap in your bathroom may be fueling a global health crisis. They're saying that the antibacterial chemical they're using may help create conditions that make dangerous infections harder to treat.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, yeah. I've been on this for 20 years. Yeah. The routine and needless use antibiotics is a terrible idea.

[Katie Green]

And finally, the Babylon Bee. Trump says Pam Bondi, quote, not quite hot enough to be this bad at her job.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, boy.

[Jack Armstrong]

How Part with the part where they get into the conversation, the cops and Tiger, about the value of his golf clubs that are still in the vehicle. Do you want to get your golf clubs out? And he said, Yeah, I won 14 majors with that putter.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, God.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Joe Getty]

Did you tell the president that Armstrong

I was just watching the Highlights of Bronnie, LeBron James. Kidd playing point guard for the lakers in their 40 point loss, 45 point loss to Oklahoma City. Oh, man, he was. Granted they're playing the best team in the league, but. Oh my God. He kept trying to bring the ball up the court like three times in a row. They just took the ball away from him and went down and made a lap. They were actually laughing.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

About him trying to get the ball across half court before they take the ball away from him.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, that's just hurtful.

[Jack Armstrong]

That had to be hurtful for LeBron. Yeah. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Oh my gosh. So much to talk about today. So let's get underway. But first let's take a fun look back at the week that was. It's Cal Clips of the week.

[Jack Armstrong]

And lift off the crew of Artemis 2 now bound for the moon.

[Joe Getty]

They'll go deeper into space than any human has ever gone before. Turns out there's about 60 on the far side.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think that has never been seen by human eyes.

[Washable Sofas Announcer]

We're going back to the the moon. That's why.

[Joe Getty]

Guess where we are. Guess who's here.

[Jack Armstrong]

No.

[Bethany Frankel]

Kings do it.

[Jack Armstrong]

What is that?

[Joe Getty]

Is that's how you get the horses to come back to the barn. I don't. What was that?

[Bethany Frankel]

Communism is going to win, baby.

[Joe Getty]

Is there any decision in particular you disagree with?

[Washable Sofas Announcer]

Okay, so I would start with

[Joe Getty]

we lost the plot. We as Democrats nationally, from Latinx to defunding the police. Well, I'm a truth seeker. They need to know the truth. Weird. Sharon, you know, forgive me, this is embarrassing.

[Bethany Frankel]

And this is not about Chinese billionaires or billionaires from other countries. This was about slaves.

[Joe Getty]

Probably the best line of the oral argument where John Sauer said, we're in a new world now, as Justice Alito pointed out. Then John Roberts replied, well, it's a new world.

[Bethany Frankel]

It's the same constitution. I do see a deal in Iran could be soon.

[Joe Getty]

Iran's president penned a letter to the American people saying that Iran is not a threat. The blunt warning from Iran, any American troops invading would be set on fire.

[Bethany Frankel]

We're going to bring them back to the state stone ages where they belong.

[Joe Getty]

President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. You can ask Khomeini about that.

[True Nature Meats Announcer]

Police found two white pills in woods pocket.

[Joe Getty]

He was sweating profusely.

[True Nature Meats Announcer]

His movements were lethargic and slow.

[Jack Armstrong]

I was a fornicator, I was a pornography addict and I Used to get drunk.

[Joe Getty]

Did you know I once bought a dog from a blacksmith? As soon as we got it home, it made a bolt for the door. Clips of the week. Those are funny jokes. Speaking of AI, which that turned out to be, I was reminded during clips of the week of the little kid asked by cnn, why are you so excited to be here, be part of history at the big launch. And Katie and I both, well, we were talking about using the clip. People were making a big deal out of it because he dropped an F bomb. Katie and I both saw the clip where he quite clearly said frickin yeah, going back to the freaking moon. And then you saw a clip where he quite clearly dropped the F bomb.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

And. And Katie and I came to. Was ours edited? Was yours edited? Which one was real? We're not matter in this case, but clearly, you know, it matters in the big picture.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, there's gonna be a lot of that going forward.

[Joe Getty]

Did that interview even happen? Who knows?

[Jack Armstrong]

No kidding. So Trump was making jokes about Macron and his wife. Do you remember the incident from the plane where there were cameras, the door was open to the plane, they were inside the plane and she shoved him in the face.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Kind of a half slap, half punch.

[Joe Getty]

Get back from why you lose air.

[Jack Armstrong]

What did we decide?

[Joe Getty]

Panty waste.

[Jack Armstrong]

What did we decide on that? The dysfunctional marriage, you think

[Joe Getty]

a forceful shove of the face. There's no.

[Jack Armstrong]

That didn't seem cool. That's beyond playful. That's a little much.

[Joe Getty]

No, no, no, no. There was, there was anchor there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, so Trump referenced that the other day behind closed doors, but it leaked out. Sounded like this.

[Bethany Frankel]

Then I call up France Macaron, whose wife treats him extremely badly and. Still recovering from the right to the jaw, and I say Emmanuel.

[Jack Armstrong]

So yeah, so that wasn't supposed to be. That was, that was with, you know, just his friends and somehow the White House posted that accidentally and it came out. So I don't know if Macron knows that or not, that it wasn't supposed to be public. That might not make any difference anyway, so Macron was asked about that yesterday over in Europe, and McCrone said those were neither elegant nor befitting a president. I'm not going to respond to them. They don't deserve a response.

[Joe Getty]

You just responded. You don't get to do both.

[Jack Armstrong]

But then he said, and you know, whether he would have said this on its own or not, who knows, he might have. I don't know if I had a little dust up with my wife and Somebody made a joke about it, I'd be pretty freaking mad.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, but if you're a public figure and it occurred in public, come on.

[Jack Armstrong]

But another leader, another person in your job stir dust again.

[Joe Getty]

Yep, you're right. You're right.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's pretty out of bounds. Anyway, so Macron was asked about what Trump said. Trump said, france and Europe has an unserious approach to war. And Macron said, well, when we're serious, we don't say the opposite of what we said the day before, which is, you know, not exactly where we usually are in terms of the NATO alliance. No.

[Joe Getty]

And as contemptuous as I am toward Macron and the French in general to say, hey, don't spring s like this on us. You got to give us a heads up. That's, that's not a crazy, you know, request to make. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Macron brushed aside Trump's latest threat to carry out devastating attacks against Iran and talks about having Europe open the Straits of Hormuz. And Macron said, I'm not here to comment on an operation that the Americans decided on the Israelis, on their own, they can later complain that they aren't being supported in this operation that they decided on alone. It's not our operation. I don't get the not letting us use your bases to, like, refuel or land. I mean, that's not exactly engaging in the war.

[Joe Getty]

No, that's. That's not what he said. Which is, it's your operation that's active disengagement. Yeah. Since we routinely use those bases and have been protecting their lazy, welfare drowning asses for quite some time from those bases.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. You can make the argument, if you're France or Britain, that we're not sending a ship or fighter planes. We didn't start this war, if you'd ask us. We would have argued against us. Blah, blah, blah, whatever.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the not letting you land to refuel or park your planes there for a while or whatever is actively getting in the way of us prosecuting the war, which is a different thing.

[Joe Getty]

Well, yeah. Honestly, in this, this little dust up, our relationship with France, it reminds me of Macron's relationship with his wife. Pugilistic wife.

[Jack Armstrong]

Everybody ought to calm down who may or may not have junk. We don't know.

[Joe Getty]

No, no, I will not go there, Candace. No, everybody needs to calm down and quit posturing. Come on now. We're old friends. Our first ally, France, back when they were not useless. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know where this is going

[Joe Getty]

in general or the Europe, NATO aspect

[Jack Armstrong]

of it, well, the whole thing, really. But yeah, the Europe, NATO thing, is it, Is it coming to an end? Macron goes on to say that Trump is hollowing out NATO every day by making these comments.

[Joe Getty]

Again, he might have a point, but the Brits and the French have so hollowed out their, their ability to project power in any way. And the Germans, yeah, Germans, not quite as badly as those other two because at least they have the will to turn it around, I think. But, I mean, they have so devalued themselves as all allies, they're. They're practically useless as allies, except economically, that. You know, with all due respect there, Frenchie, oh, you're a weakling.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is not a point worth arguing about. But the Germans, because they've been under

[Joe Getty]

the American security umbrella. Right, go ahead.

[Jack Armstrong]

But the Germans have the number one economy in Europe and are as weak as they are. And they were. And they, and they signed off on a pipeline with Russia to be dependent on their energy sources.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, that was.

[Jack Armstrong]

The hell is that?

[Joe Getty]

That was under the horrifying Angela Merkel, who history cannot judge harshly enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, I don't know. What I wonder is how this is going to be portrayed 15, 25, 50 years from now when people look back on this, will this be Trump destroying the greatest alliance in all of all time, or was it just going that direction and maybe he pointed it out or hurried it along or whatever?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, it'll probably have something like an Enron feel where, you know, when the investigation's done, people will be like, oh, my God, this was crumbling for like, two years before it actually crumbled. Yeah, I don't know. That would be unfortunate because NATO obviously has been such an amazing force for stability. But, you know, don't you think in

[Jack Armstrong]

a real Crisis that Article 5 is designed for an attack on one is an attack on all? Well, we'll all, for the most part, be in it together anyway. If China attacked France, you don't need the NATO agreement to have the United States, Great Britain, whoever, come to defense,

[Joe Getty]

right? Yeah, yeah, probably. I just keep thinking, you know, your good old friend finally rallies to your side. Let's forget those little differences we've had. We've been friends for centuries, we're with you, but they show up with one

[Jack Armstrong]

arm in the sling and the other

[Joe Getty]

one, like, I abhor violence. Like, oh, my God, thanks for rallying to my aid, France.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or maybe somebody speaking, speaking a different language than French, who says, I'm on the other, I'm for the other side.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, Britain, the greatest naval force on the planet for what? A century? A century and a half. Two centuries now is so hollowed out they can barely launch a regatta from Britain. They can barely go deep sea fishing their navy. It's terrible.

[Jack Armstrong]

So we can run through what all the experts are saying about the jobs numbers that came out really beat expectations. What does that mean? All those jobs. Significantly more than they thought. Where does that fit in with the whole 77% of Americans think the economy is bad or Trump's policies have made things worse. How does that all fit together so

[Joe Getty]

and the sure path to to financial success according to the Wall Street Journal. Next.

[Jack Armstrong]

I want to hear that. I need. I need to write that down. Who? Huh?

[Joe Getty]

All right.

[Jack Armstrong]

That down. Put that into action today.

[Joe Getty]

You're too old. Forget it. You failed. Rap. No. You have no future. But others might.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's disappointing. What are you gonna do? Is that my good Friday? You have no future. What's your good Friday? So we got Mailbag next. Stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm wearing a Dodgers hat today. I've decided to just jump on the bandwagon.

[Joe Getty]

Wow, you can't beat them. Oh, is that all there is here? Just you've capitulated. You've joined the evil empire. Okay, all right, fair enough. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing on our series about lore war, I found both of these very interesting and somewhat ironic. First of all, this one from Robert E. Lee. Damn Reb. What a cruel thing war is to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors. And this from one of my intellectual heroes, Ludwig von Mises. If men do not now succeed in abolishing war, civilization and mankind are doomed. I would ask all old Lou von Mises, Louis, how are you going to abolish war? Wow. As long as there are greed heads or the evil or racists or religious fanatics, they're gonna make war. So I've got to be ready for war. What are you talking about?

[Jack Armstrong]

So is that a childish notion or was that him just stating like kind of in a sarcastic way, we're gonna destroy ourselves and there's nothing no stopping it.

[Joe Getty]

I really don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. Well, greater philosophers than we have taken on that question. And failed.

[Public Investing Announcer]

So let's move on.

[Jack Armstrong]

Mailbag by the way, if I want to wear a hat for the best record in baseball so far, a weekend, I'd be wearing a Florida Marlins hat.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, how about that? Yeah, drop us a snow at [e-mail] Got this from Mark San Francisco longtime correspondent Shout Out. Mark Mark, if the Supreme Court is going to make that stupid ruling, meaning not or continuing to allow birthright citizenship and the Supreme Court has made many tremendously wrong rulings over the years, birthright citizenship could be addressed by Congress by passing a law. This will have to be dealt with eventually, unless we're determined to commit a slow but steady national suicide. I would agree.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's the answer for changing times.

[Joe Getty]

Sure, sure. Of course. Another J in San Jose writes, if the Strait of Hormuz is open to free flowing commerce in the next couple of weeks, I think most Americans would care even less about the war than they do or its outcome because gas prices would fall in, the market would go way up.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're right.

[Joe Getty]

I also think we should leave some of those bases that are in countries that wouldn't let us use them. Leave them exposed. I hear you talking, my friend. Fascinating note from longtime correspondent Alvin in Berkeley. Heard you guys talking about how rockets get a boost from the Earth's spin as they blast off from Florida and Texas. The Earth's speed at the equator is about 1039 miles per hour. The circumference of the Earth is around 25,000 miles, as I'm sure you know. I've forgotten. But yeah, I think I learned that 73 times in my life. When you divide that by 1039, voila, you get 24 hours in a day. See, it's easy. And when a rocket blasts off toward the east and it gets above the atmosphere, it benefits from the fact that the launch pad was already moving east at over a thousand miles per hour. I learned these things while getting a master's degree from MIT in 1964. Be before Epstein. That's funny, Alva. Those five years were great for this farm boy from Texas. Even got a trip to Cape Canaveral from Dr. Charles Draper and saw Saturn 5 on the launch pad. Even met Edwin Aldrin once. He was in the Aeronautics and Astronautics class with us. Great to have lived through all these things and so neat to hear you guys on the radio. Thanks, Alvin. What a great note. I'm gonna try to commit that to memory, but who knows how I'll do.

[Jack Armstrong]

My high schooler said one of his Friends was super into the space launch and had his phone out during class to be able to try to catch the launch and everything like that. I'm glad it's, you know, capturing some people's imagination.

[Joe Getty]

Good. Yeah. Yeah. That's such a healthy thing. How about this from Eric, Space cadet karate in beautiful Astoria, Oregon. The malfunction. Oh boy. Please let me be adults about this discussion. Excuse me. The malfunctioning crapper on the Artemis 2. Eric, try to be more elegant than that in the future, okay? Has drawn a few chuckles, but it's worth recalling. The Apollo 8 mission had it much worse. Colonel Frank Borman evidently was sick at launch. They just didn't know it and. And had a. An intestinal flu ish problem. About 12 hours into the mission, he vomited twice and also had problems at the other end. And I. That's just.

[Jack Armstrong]

I remember that he had. He had. He had eaten two large Papa John's pizzas the night.

[Joe Getty]

I don't believe that's accurate. No. His crewmates James Lovell and William Anders did their best to clean up the Drifting Goblets. I'll leave it at that. These early astronauts were even bigger heroes in my eyes. The more I learn about what they went through. Godspeed, Artemis 2. God. It's nothing a parent hasn't dealt with 25 times.

[Jack Armstrong]

I used to sing in an acapella group at Renaissance fairs. We were called the Drifting Goblets.

[Joe Getty]
