0:00This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty. And now he is Armstrong and Getty. I am Philip on this security changes. Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward, given you have now been shot at? I don't know if I can hail looking 20 pounds heavier. Somebody is guy. Somebody is guy. It's a physical specimen. Somebody is guy. The lighter side of assassination attempts. Trump is a unique guy.
1:02He is psychologically. Yes. I know what his brushes with death did to him or for him. You know, it's funny just a quick departure. The bit of Scott's email we didn't squeeze in before the top of the outbreak was why was the shooter so calm taking his selfies before walking into his almost inevitable death? Accepting that you're already dead is calming and liberating. I've heard that and this is certainly I don't claim any personal knowledge. And it's probably not universal, but I've heard guys who've dealt with combat say the only way you stay sane and you lose like your fears to accept, all right, I'm going to die. So let's get the job done. So I wonder. Anyway, I wonder if there's an aspect of that and Trump's personality. Well, remember when we had Corey Lewandowski on and when we were at one of the conventions that's Chrissy Knowham's old man. And the one that doesn't wear the big balloons under a shirt.
2:02And Corey Lewandowski said one of the things about Trump. He said he is fearless. He is absolutely fearless. And I think there is some and maybe he's got like some something wrong with his brain. Where he cannot be it's weird that he can be on one hand so easily but hurt by the slightest insult by a meaningless character that he needs to respond immediately. Like be fearless about lawsuits being shot at about his personal life falling apart in public. Oh, that stuff just doesn't seem to phase him. A comedian you've never heard of saying something about his hair will make him go berserco at the same time. And completely step on his own messaging. Yeah, to his own detriment. I mean, it's not harmless. Yeah, you're right. I do a deep dive on this now. Just wanted to put this on the plate for a conversation later.
3:02It's a it's a bigger deal obviously in California than for the rest of the country. The entire bullet train thing. But you should be aware of this just from a the fact that it happens over and over again. These government projects that balloon and get out of hand. The California high speed rail project put out their new projection yesterday. So it's the California post responded to the editorial board said it's time to end the high speed rail disaster. That's got to be the 50th time they've written that piece. The call for the end of the high speed train. But they put out their new cost projection. $231 billion. Seven times now the original estimate. Seven times what voters approved. Now $231 billion. They're still as 60 minutes showed us a couple of weeks ago. Ain't no dang train. Hardly any there ain't no actual track. There's just a couple of cement things in the middle of nowhere.
4:04Little track bed. Yeah. Keeping in mind. Keeping in mind when they said it's now going to be about $100 billion. One was at two, three years ago. I was screaming. There's not a chance in hell. It'll be less than $200 billion. Your ridiculous stop lying. And here they've exceeded my estimate. So one one critic actually did the math on this. The amount of money involved in here. At current demands LA between San Francisco. You could fund roughly 200 years of air travel before the money would run out. Holy crap. Well, that was back when it was $126 billion. The California post points out that now you can double that. So you've got 400 years of flights that you could pay for. For the current demand of people that fly back and forth between LA and San Francisco. 400 years worth.
5:05I mean, that is a stunning number, which is interesting. The whole thing is stunning Gavin. And what makes us insane, although I've had to just kind of put it aside and accept it, is that it is an utterly, how do I put this, guileless crime. The crime is happening in the open. It's openly discussed. It's undeniable. Millions of people are acutely aware of it. But there are enough people who are either in on the scam or are so ignorant. They have no idea of it. The same scammers get elected over and over again. Or they hate Trump so insanely. They just keep voting for these who continue the scam. You've just got to take a deep breath and accept that this is the most glaring, bright, spotlight example of the failure of democracy perhaps in our nation's history. In fact, if it's not, I want to know what's a bigger, uglier illustration.
6:07Yeah, it might be the biggest disconnect between taxpayer and money spent. And that is a heck of a thing to say in our nation's history. As is pointed out, they don't even claim anymore that it's a train between San Francisco and L.A. It's not even close to that. It gets you like within an hour and a half drive of each of those towns. At a cost of 231 billion dollars. Since we're on it, might as well finish this off. I mean, you thought that was outrageous? Here you go. And if you accept that number, I got some magic beans I'd like to sell you dumb, dumb. Right. You're right. That's not the ending number anyway. So the bosses at the California high speed rail are weighing currently giving the CEO even more power to make decisions on his own without any other input whatsoever. The board of directors mulling and granting Ian, I don't know how to pronounce his name. Do you know his name? Chordery. He's a villain. I don't care what kind of guy he is. He's a villain for not coming out and saying we got to stop this.
7:08It would give him more authority over spending and operations. For instance, he can approve contracts worth 25 million dollars without any board approval whatsoever. One guy, now how do you think you keep corruption out of that? If you've got one individual who can approve contracts up to 25 million dollars and you've got 200 some billion dollars to spend. Oh my God. I know it's astonishing. I've got a great piece around here somewhere. Oh, there it is. California fraud is not a bug. It's a feature. It's the way the system is supposed to function according to the people running it. The fraud is on a massive scale. I mean, the bullspit train is just one example and I have half a dozen other examples. Thousands of inmates, murders, rapists, death row inmates received up to a billion dollars on unemployment benefits.
8:08An estimated 146 billion was lost to fraud from Medi-Cal. At least 32 billion was lost in fraudulent payments from the unemployment department under Gavin's leadership. By the way, he's spending 19 million dollars of taxpayer money on a New York PR firm to dust off California's image, which is just lovely. How about the $37 billion since 2019 to curb homelessness? The result homelessness, bombs and junkies increased while the funds disappeared without so much as a mechanism to measure their effectiveness. It is sickening. Thanks for taking my money. I agree with her. Well, back to this guy, young woman, is the voice of the taxpayer. Back to this guy running the high speed rail. How are your pronounceers name? Ian Chudry. Thief McGrathty. Well, he might be a decent honest man.
9:09I would say he's kind of by definition not because if he was, he would be out in front of microphones and cameras saying, look, I've looked at the numbers. This doesn't make any sense. We need to end this today. And since he's not saying that, I'm going to assume he's a bad guy. But you've got somebody 100% true. Who on his own can sign off on a $25 million check and the board is trying to give him more power so it could be contracts up to $100 million that one guy. Now, if you have the ability to give a $100 million to this guy, this guy or this guy, and you can do that without any favor toward one of them because they tell you they'll give you this or that or help out your kid here or your wife that or give you a car or whatever, you should get st.hood because I'm not sure there's any human being on earth that put in that position could do that. Keeping in mind that there will never be any accountability for what you decide. So go ahead. Imagine the sort of personality you'd have to have to be able to be completely
10:13fair when you have the on your own with no oversight decision making on $100 million for that one, that one, that one, that one. Over and over again. Is it the largest piece time theft of government funds in the history of humanity? Very well could be. It could be. Putin has got to be looking at that saying, geez, what is the deal? I thought I was good, man, that's good. Yeah, I just don't want. I think I'm for the grace of God. This guy should be. Now the guy has the balls to run for president. Gavi who when he was a lieutenant governor, right? It was like, this math doesn't work. This train will never run. This is a boondoggle. But then he got his cut. And so now he's part of the theft machine. And now suddenly, oh, no, no, we got to do this. This proves California's on the leading edge. Great. The theft of taxpayer funds in human history. I'm sticking by that claim. I used to live next door to a woman, herner husband, but she was one of those Medtech sales people.
11:20Medical sales and she would take doctors out and schmooze them to try to get them to buy their version of medicine. And they take them out to ridiculously expensive dinners and give them stuff and everything like that. And that's for a tiny, tiny fraction of the kind of money we're talking about. Can you imagine what these companies do to try to get this guy to make the choice to go with them for $100 million? Keeping in mind again, there's no accountability. Yes, I imagine that. God, that would be something to see. They got to make a documentary out of that. Well, this is a small time scam indeed trying to steal all your life savings. But every spam call, every scam text, every sketchy email with your name starts the same way. Somebody found you on a data broker site. All of your info is sitting on data broker sites right now getting sold, but you can do something about it. Yeah, and we all know that this stuff is floating around here. That's why we get those damn texts and calls and emails all the time that are trying to hack into us. And it's so easy to fall for one. If you ain't paying attention, well, the only way to get them off is if you use the law,
12:23and Cogni can actually do that. They contact hundreds of data brokers and legally force them to remove your information. There's a good way to try it. Sign up with them, Cogni, and see if you don't start getting fewer scam texts, emails, and calls. That's a nice thing. They can't spam you if they can't find you. And right now, get 60% off with an exclusive deal at incogni.com slash Armstrong. Very affordable. Go to I-N-C-O-G-N-I dot com in Cogni.com slash Armstrong and take back your privacy. That's incogni.com slash Armstrong. Man, oh man, so many things came together in a bad way for humanity. The falling apart of the media world, the news world, the actual investigative journalism world. Newspapers going away, you know, Craigslist destroyed newspapers to talk about consequences that you don't think about. And then so it's like, I almost dropped an S-bomb. Crap like this can go on, and there's just nobody around to report on it anymore.
13:23Yeah. Clickbait has displaced journalism in a very real way. Plus, you've got Trump, the arrangement syndrome. If Gavin says that's Trump trying to ruin our California dream, people would be like, how dare Trump call for taxpayer accountability? I hate him so much. And it enables the criminals to perpetrate this astonishingly big crime. I like it. You do your cowardly line. I laugh. Okay, you believe me. Okay, we got a lot more on the way there. Armstrong and Getty. According to a new survey, 30% of respondents said that they have removed a friend or family member from a group chat in the last year. And for those who aren't in a family group chat, it was you. Here's my, here's the headline of the day. I'll have to look into this story more. Iran eyeing mind carrying dolphins to attack U.S. warships in Strait of Rome or Moose.
14:26Oh, Iran is going to use mind carrying dolphins. And then they train the dolphin to go by the ship. How do you do that? Dolphins are complete sluts for a macro. They'll do anything. So, yeah, they train them like they train them to leap up and hit the little orange thing at the dolphin show. Really? Yeah. How do you do that? Did they do that ahead of time? Or do you do it all of a sudden? Or does it only take five minutes or I don't understand this? Oh, it takes a while. I remember reading fascinating stuff as a youngster, a teenager, about how both the U.S. and Soviet Union were experimenting with training dolphins and whales to accomplish various underwater skull dugaries. So, yeah. That reminds me last year when I went to Florida and Henry got to do the thing where he's in the water with the dolphins and put his hand on both their fins and they pulled him across this little pond really fast. What a cool thing to do. Yeah. Yeah.
15:26My headline of the day is actually incredibly discouraging, so I'm going to leave it out for now. Please do. I will unleash my righteous biblical prophet's screed on ye later on. Oh, speaking of the Bible. The Bible. That's right, Mr. President. I realized something about myself the last night that I really don't like. Still trying to be a good person, like healthy psychology at my advanced age, sorry youngsters, it never ends. If you have any self-awareness, so I'm going to admit it. It's unflattering. Now we're later. It's part of my healing process. I don't think I have time now. Maybe we could do all that one two minutes because I've got two minutes. I've got my two things I got wrong this week that I need to apologize for. We'll call it confession is good for the soul. Yeah, maybe we'll do that. Yeah, okay. Sounds good and talk to Katie about maternity leave. Katie's last day before she goes and you said you got the bedroom all decorated and everything?
16:29Yeah, it's all done. Thank God with the thing for being a baby zoo animals. Oh, I'm so cute. A classic. And it's a classic for a reason. It's perfect. Did you tell me a boy or a girl or is that a secret? That's a boy. Its name is Joe Mike. We know that. Judy and I have been referring to him as JJ just to save time because Jack Joe Mike, Mike's a little cumbersome. It's a good name though. Yeah. It's a good name. Okay. Well, do we get to reveal the name? You know, you let us know and we'll make the big announcement. Sure. I already did, but I think it went in one ear and out the other. Like a week ago. Yeah. Yeah. Assuming everything goes okay. You know, God willing. It's always the case. How soon after the baby is born will we be on the air? Five minutes. Yeah. Hello. I'll be on there while it's happening. I don't care. Live team coverage. Yeah. Oh, my God. Live team coverage from the birth. Yeah.
17:29Katie's giving birth. We go to Katie. We're up against a hard commercial. Katie, you're going to have to hold it. Hold it together. Yeah. We'll be back after this break. You got to do a live, a live spot. Oh, you hang on a second, but we have to talk to you about. Yeah. There are four human beings in the room when we come back. There'll be five. Stay right there. Good luck. After this quick word from incogni.com. That's right. Oh, so on a totally different topic. Chatbot addiction. Scientists. Science. Science. Have now identified three distinct kinds of chatbot addictions. Okay. Interesting. And you might have them. I hope I don't. I use a chatbot a lot, but not for the weird reasons I don't think. Anyway, all on the way, including apologizing about a couple of big news stories. Armstrong and Getty. We got the first big update on this story. Since President Trump told us a couple of weeks ago that the White House and the FBI were
18:30going to be investigating possible links between these scientists that have either gone missing or turned up dead over the last two years. Well, so far. I mean, they're individuals. Some were sick. Some leftist earth. Self-inflicted. But so far we're finding that there's not much of a connection. Yeah, that's the whole wire. So many scientists disappeared or died story. That is fascinating from like a logic standpoint. Or I don't know what the right term is. Joe, Joe, explain it. It's the only person I've heard explain it anywhere. Is that you could make it about, you know, who's killing the great chefs of Europe? You could make it about chefs or baseball players or any large group you wanted. Especially over three year period. Do you know how many former major league baseball players have died in the last three years? Or disappeared. And a lot of the disappeared are right over here. Nobody looked. Right. And then you dig into it and you realize, well, two of those guys never made it past double A.
19:34And one of those guys is still alive. It's utter crap. You know, it's funny. Well, see, the reason I wanted to bring this up was I saw the other day China's having the same problem. This many Chinese scientists, nuclear scientists have disappeared or died in the last three years. Well, yeah, it's because you can extrapolate it to really any large group of people. And make it seem like something exciting happened. And also Chinese farmers and performance artists and wet bat dealers from the wet market. Exactly. We're speaking of dealers. Speaking of which, I was deep and sought listening to that clip and as Jack started to talk. I'm going to I'll just present it as Joe Getty's. What do you have performance art? Modern world performance art. Guys, the house is on fire. Honey, we really need new drapes. Dad, why are we out of peanut butter? The house is on fire. Hey, dad, I need to ride to soccer. The f-ing house is on fire.
20:35All of these stupid, stupid stories. And objects of conversation, nobody's paying attention to the house being on fire. But I'm not going to bring you down with that. I'm not. I started to sound like Trump there when he starts to get reflective. It's a crazy world. Aren't you afraid? Crazy things happen. Anyway, let's just hit a couple of headlines that are worth mentioning. Jack, we need to call our fabulous agent Eric and demand he do a better job. Elon Musk's Tesla compensation last year surpassed $158 billion. He had a good 2025. Clearly, according to regulatory filing and indeed his 10 year deal could be worth a trillion dollars if Musk hits every milestone, which includes growing Tesla's market cap to $8.5 trillion. He almost certainly is going to become the world's first trillionaire. Part of that is because of the whole inflation thing because a trillion dollars a day,
21:37just like $100 a day, ain't close to what it was in the year 2000. And that was the screen I'm holding myself back from. Maybe we'll get to it next hour. You will be second and horrified and angered, disappointed, but smarter. It will ruin every possible positive thing that could happen this weekend. It will crush your joy like an elephant stepping on a grape. But you'll be smarter. If you have any harm, you're going to be left. Yes, what? The most depressing radio show. It's not even close. Are you kidding? Anyway, so yeah, Elon Musk, although if you missed this, we just posted it. I think it aren't strongly getty.com under hot links. The absolutely fabulous piece by a French economist. Whoever he is. Jacques Cousteau. Yes. Describing how quote unquote billionaires, they don't consume that money.
22:39They allocate it where they think it's going to be the most productive, which spawns. Zillions of jobs and it's so good for society in every single way compared to if the government says we're going to put a tax on billionaires and we're going to take that money out of equity. How they just squander it and hand it out to their cronies and it becomes utterly unproductive. Really, really good informative stuff. It's at Armstrong and getty.com under hot links. Anyway, dirt moving along. Oh, here's one of the stories that got obscured. It is becoming more and more clear that the Biden administration, Anthony Fauci and his minions engaged in utterly bold faced and illegal cover ups, cover ups of the various aspects of COVID. Whether it was the side effects of the vaccine or the needlessness of vaccine mandates or the lab leak, etc. They were violating all of our government transparency laws for reasons that are infinitely clear,
23:43but practically nobody's talking about it. This should work. It's a word. This should work. Cut to clizm to hit the world. Since World War II, there was a giant cover up and nobody's talking about it. Yeah, it should get more attention. So, somebody's being charged with something or investigated with something. What's the actual headline? Yeah, this character, Dr. David Morons, former National Institute to Health official, is being charged with essentially fraud and cover ups and violating government transparency laws. you lost. And what's so, man, when that's the trial, that that that could, I hopefully when it actually, a trial actually happens, yeah, learn more about it. It gets more attention because it should, like you said, this is a big deal. Yeah, but what, what makes me insane and I got to take deep breaths and deal with and just accept is that the press, the media is portraying it as political retaliation because Trump headed in for Fauci. So it's
24:43more of the law fair, they're charging them with this silly stuff. Well, we don't help your case when you do crap like the seashells James Comey thing or exactly. And that's, that's yet another example of Trump stepping on his own messaging. He was so intent on punishing Comey for his law fair, which I get that he stepped over all over this gigantic story. This ought to be, they ought to be every cabinet member ought to be talking about this because it was so important to our, our civil liberties, our economy, our health, our armed forces. It's, it's difficult to fully describe how enormous this was, but it's gone in the noise of the missing scientists, quote unquote in the Comey seashells in the rest of this horsecraft. Again, guys, the house is on fire. Oh, well, never mind. Nobody cares. I'll move along. I can accept it. You want another house is on fire headline. I won't, I won't go into it. I really don't, but yes, guest essay in
25:46the New York Times today by Robert de Kaplan, who I'm a big fan of his writing and stuff like that. He's an analyst, US military stuff, writes a lot of good books, the tragic decline of the American Navy. And it is really an interesting piece. And how the world has benefited so much from the dominance of first great Britain and then the United States of keeping the oceans free for commerce, 90% of commerce, even now in the age of aeroplanes, 90% of commerce going around on the seas at some point and keeping the seas open and free and it's over. Those days are over according to him. We just, we just don't have the Navy to do it. As soon as China flexes their muscle down, we're like 40% of commerce goes through. They're going to control that. We're seeing what's happening with the straighter hormones. So those days are over. And I remember I formulated Joe Getty's unified theory of civilizations a number of years ago in that civilizations veer from one guardrail to the other and
26:47have no idea that they've hit the sweet spot when they hit it. And they just keep going till they hit the other guardrail. Great example of that. We with our incredible military and naval might in particular said, no, the world's going to be open to commerce. You're not going to choke off the commerce of the nations to extract, you know, it's piracy essentially, whether it's literally stealing the goods or just exacting tolls and that sort of thing. We're not going to let that happen. Yeah. And you can, you can say that, you can say that all day long, you have to be able to enforce it. And we could. Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's precisely my point. And much like a society that beefs up its policing, it has a robust justice system. If you break the law, you get arrested, you get tried, you get convicted, you get jailed, blah, blah, blah. All of a sudden people look around, say, there's no crime. We don't need all these cops. We don't need this draconian inequity sentencing. We don't need a giant, powerful navy. There's no threat to international shipping. And so you dismantle your navy and you hit their guardrail
27:51and, you know, got to help us home. Speaking of defense, this is a big headline. Very important. I'm a clog fan. I got to hit you with these numbers just because I do. I love about the navy. And then I'll shut up. This is interesting. At the beginning of World War II, we had 800 ships. At the end of World War II, we had 7,000 ships. And that's how we have dominated the sea all this time. 7,000 ships. We now have currently at latest measurement. Ladies, gentlemen, in active service, 290 ships. We had 7,000 at the end of World War II. And obviously you don't need to keep that number. But 290 now, currently the Chinese navy has about 400. Yeah, I was going to say I think we're the second largest navy on earth. We made the neighborhood too safe. We fired all the cops. We dismantled all the locks on the doors. We went with the guardrail. We went with the AOC defund the police plan. Because the navy is the police. We defunded the police for the world.
28:57Thank you. Everything's fine. Seas will look like the suburbs. No, they won't. They'll look like Somalia. Oh, good one. Good one. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Well, we're going to try to break on time as if this hasn't driven you. Just bring it. What is it with us? I wonder all the mental problem. Should we see a shrink? A show to drink together? Is it on the air? Should we have a therapist come on the air with us and talk to us about what a downer show we are and how maybe we've gotten in some sort of like doom loop or something? I don't I don't think we are though. I think we're walking we we all of us. Hello, friends. We're all walking through a coal mine with dead canaries scattered everywhere. You know, we have we've experienced this in some workplaces. I won't say what workplaces. We've experienced this in workplaces where people are trying to go with the positive attitudes. Like there are no solid real indications that we should be positive. Right. The needles pointing south
30:07on everything. Yes. Yeah. And it always turns out to be true. Sometimes I have a bad attitude or negative attitude is just realizing the facts on the graph. Sure. But at the same time if you're the biblical prophets say who's just constantly yelling at people that they're doomed. After a while, people like, oh my God, there comes Jeremiah again. Just turn act like you don't see him. I guess that's what we don't want to be. We don't want to be the show. It's a guy on the stand in on the corner with the end is near sign just yeah. Every day. Yeah. You walk past him. Okay. So I'm I'm ashamed of myself. I have a confession to make next segment. I have a flaw in my personality. Terrible flaw. And I will. You want anyone else to point it out or you're going to need to be great. Why don't I save you the trouble and go ahead? Okay. All that's on the way. Aren't strong and getting a lot of stuff to jam in today. May 1st, by the way, happy Mayday or some coming something. All right. So we need to get right into this. This is
31:10a quirk of human psychology that we've actually died well aware of it. We've talked about it on the show several times. So Judy and I have just gotten done with a big remodel of our house. We love our house. We're just so happy. Where we are. Love the view, bubble. Our new-ish neighbors had us in our other neighbors over for a couple of drinks, some, you know, the hors d'oeuvres. That's sort of thing last night. And it was a hoot. It was great. Wonderful people. Really like him. Lucky to have him as neighbors. Their house is beautiful. It was beautifully designed. And their view is at least as good as ours, blah, blah, blah. I get back home. I look around. I think I don't like this house. Wow. I wish I had their house. Wow. While fully aware of what was going on in my brain. I mean, it's not like I woke up later and thought, oh my gosh, I should be grateful. No, as it was unfolding, I'm like, what the hell is the matter with you? The whole people are happier making 80,000.
32:18If the people next to them make 70,000, then they are making 120,000. If the people next them are making 130,000. Yeah. Which is definitely a flaw in our personalities. Right. It's a flaw in the programming. What anthropologically is going on there to win the mate, your mate, you have to be like the best warrior to make you a striver. Maybe it's that. It's just so you're not satisfied. It's so you strive. But in terms of a happiness thing, it's a horrible flaw in the programming. Yeah. Our old producer, positive Sean, complicated dude, but he had this collection of sayings that he'd accumulated through his life bits of wisdom. And one that really knocked my socks off was comparison is the thief of joy. No doubt. Boy, I was thinking about that last night. What is it with humans? Anyway, I'm going to work on it. I'm going to ask my counselor, Claude, to talk me through gratitude exercises,
33:19perspective, because there's always somebody richer, like Sheryl on musk. There's always somebody with a nicer, better wife. You're going to make yourself insane. Plus the knowledge that the incrementally better this or that doesn't actually make you happy. Anyways. So, right. I mean, if you've had, if you've been able to run that experiment a few times, somebody pointed this out to me when I was way younger. I don't remember who, but just was talking about cars driving down the road. Like everybody else, you know, this car or that car, you only notice the ones that are better or cooler than yours.
