Ladies & Gentleman...THE BEAGLES!

The hosts of Armstrong & Getty On Demand dive into a chaotic week of global headlines, starting with the controversial 'Project Freedom' raid on a Wisconsin beagle research facility—where activists freed beagles used in biomedical testing, sparking debate over animal ethics and media sensationalism. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty express skepticism about the mainstream media's focus on the 'sweet' narrative of beagles going to good homes, while questioning the real purpose of the research. They contrast this with the escalating tensions with Iran, where Trump’s abrupt cancellation of 'Operation Epic Fury' is attributed to a furious call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS, and the U.S. has since destroyed Iranian tankers attempting to flee. The hosts critique the lack of strategic clarity in U.S. foreign policy, calling it a 'doting father patient with his four-year-old' approach. They also dissect the economic distortions caused by AI, arguing that the latest jobs numbers are meaningless because nearly all growth is concentrated in AI-driven sectors, while the rest of the economy remains stagnant. A biting critique of mandatory foreign language education follows, with Getty arguing that teaching Spanish in high school is a waste of time when students can’t speak it, and proposing a radical shift to conversational, real-world language learning.
