Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong.

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: And Jack Katie and no Hey Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: Delta Airlines has importedly offered passengers on the flight that

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: Crass landed in Toronto thirty thousand dollars each in Delta credit,

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: with blackout dates excluded, and only on other upside down flights.

7
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. That is funny.

8
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 4: Yikes, how often you read those things. I'll give you

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 4: a free night's stay, not available around any holiday or

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: part of the year where you would ever travel. You

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: would have to dedicate like seventy two hours of your

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: life to taking advantage of that. General Yeah, exactly, speaking

13
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: of generous offers, this is breaking news, Michael, breaking news.

14
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: So much winning, you're gonna get tired of.

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: All the winning.

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: And that's a burrow. Thank god, we've already got one.

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: If you had to import a burrow from Mexico, now,

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 4: what would that cost?

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, my Huacimolei is going to be completely unaffordable.

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: An investment group led by Blackrock, the giant American asset manager,

22
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: which just abandoned all of their woke practices recently. Uh,

23
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: they've agreed to buy two ports in Panama that are

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: owned by a Hong Kong company, and it'd become the

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: subject to tensions between Panama and the Trump administration. The

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Blackrock will buy the ports, which sit at either end

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: of the Panama Canal and over forty others from the

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Hong Kong conglomerate C K. Hutchinson for about nineteen billion dollars.

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: So Trump got the canal pack essentially from the evil

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: grips of China, just indirectly and through a business deal

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and through a bunch of while irresponsible by the mainstream

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: media's point of view, threats. Yeah, about pretending he was

33
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: on the table to use military force to take it.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: And all that sort of stuff. You know that he does.

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Right in Hutchinson, which is the It sounds very British,

36
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: but it was Hong Kong based, which of course taken

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: over by the communist Chinese who put their boot heel

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: on the throat of everyone there. But they're induced by

39
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great opportunity. It looks like the

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: headwinds are starting to grow. The US is half crazy

41
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: they're offering a good price.

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, what the hell?

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 5: You know.

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: A lot of it is the art of the deal.

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: It's Trump's negotiation style, which is not my favorite to

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: deal with with. Somebody on the other side, we had

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: an agent for a while who was a little trumpy

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: in his negotiation style, and we much preferred the agent

49
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: we currently have and who's been very very good to

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 4: us in many in many ways. But we had an

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: agent for a while. It would just make things so

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 4: difficult on people, make him insane that he saw is

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: some sort of advantage by just refusing to call people back,

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: or just all kinds of different things. And I think that,

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: and he was a New Yorker, that just might be

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: the New York negotiating thing.

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Right, We're gonna have a tough guy contest before we

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: get down to brass tacks to take the measure of

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: each other.

60
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 4: Or you make people, you make people so discombobulated they

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: make mistakes, or I don't know exactly what all the.

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: Theories are, but yeah, yeah, well this one seems to

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: have borne some uh, you know, some great results, or

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: so it would seem so onward and upward.

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: You know, on the tariff thing, which we weren't going

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: to talk about. But last hour you had the Wall

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: Street Journal saying an SUV might cost nine thousand dollars

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: more with the tariffs that have kicked in. I mean,

69
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: holy crap, if that happens, that's not going to be

70
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: a subtle change.

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: Right right, Okay, well that's a biggie.

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: Well okay, So in case you were getting bored with

73
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: the way the world was, this all got added overnight.

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Oh so much stability, everything the same day after day.

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, just just tiring. Uh.

76
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of rejiggering what I wanted to

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: talk about and in what order because we kind of

78
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: covered that, and I do what was the hot to

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: trot about that for the first segment?

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: Was it that it might have been? Anyway? I wanted

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: to hit this really quickly. We'll get it out of

82
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: the way for you.

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: Uh. Carl Demayo, who's the assemblyman San Diego, has been

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: going after Gavy and some of the incredibly wasteful spending,

85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: which is just distribution of money to Crony's. Got to remember,

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: when you're talking about government spending, somebody is getting that

87
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: money and it's not selected randomly. It's handing out money

88
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: to Crony's and supporters anyway. So Demayo, and this is

89
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: being reported by the fabulous Katie Grimes in the California Globe.

90
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: There is this twenty five million dollar program COVID nineteen

91
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: workplace outreach program that Gavian Company and the Democrats just

92
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: asked a committee in the Assembly to fund all the

93
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: way through twenty twenty nine. Okay, twenty five million dollars

94
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a year. They wanted to fund it through twenty twenty

95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: nine a COVID program and then let me flip ahead

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: because there's a lot to this. So Demayo and a

97
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: staff looked at each of the seventy six organizations that

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: this twenty five million dollars slush fund was funding. They

99
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: pulled their IRS filings and examined their websites. Shockingly or not,

100
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Demayo found that most of the organizations did not have

101
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: the qualifications or performance criteria for labor relations or workplace

102
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: safety or workplace outreach, the things that they were supposed

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: to be getting millions and millions of year dollars for

104
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: California taxpayers. Many of them are unions, he said, and

105
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: quote a special interest organization getting funding from taxpayers. Quote,

106
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: how can taxpayers conclude anything other than this is a

107
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: slush fund to fund left wing organizations, especially unions. I'm

108
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: sure that's what it is. Oh yeah, Assemblymen Demio read aloud.

109
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: The organizations getting millions of taxpayer money, including congregations organized

110
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: for prophetic engagement. What which is engaged in ballot harvesting

111
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: during elections? Why are we funding that organization in the

112
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: name of COVID nineteen workplace safety or is the funding

113
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: going to politics? Gee?

114
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: Come on, Carl, is that a rhetorical question.

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: They're funding right to democracy quote, empowering youth through civic engagement.

116
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Have a whole program that they fund on voter engagement

117
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: and empowerment campaigns. They're not COVID nineteen or healthcare experts,

118
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: they're not workforce safety experts.

119
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: They're a political organization.

120
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: Under the umbrella of this is because of COVID, you're

121
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: going to teach people you know about voting, and I'm

122
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: guessing the the method you're going to use highly pushes

123
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: people toward the Democratic.

124
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Party, right, right, tens of millions of dollars of COVID

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: workplace safety money going to a vote harvesting organization or

126
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: here's the ACCE Alliance for Californias for Community Empowerment, a

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: rent control budyist group.

128
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: This is this is.

129
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: What makes people like me so anti tax and why

130
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: you know, Milton Friedman said you should oppose all taxes always,

131
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: no matter what they're for, no matter how good it sounds.

132
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: For it might even be something you're one hundred percent agreement,

133
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: because the only way you can stop money from being

134
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: wasted is not give it to them in the first place.

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: It's the only power you.

136
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Have, right right, Yeah, the United Respect Education Fund, which

137
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: organizes protests in front of Amazon and Walmart saying they're

138
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: not ok enough.

139
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: God, that's frustrating.

140
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: This is really a story in a lot of ways,

141
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: whether you're talking about California or Illinois or New York

142
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: or the Blue states around the country. And you know

143
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: it's COVID, but it's putting up with this stuff is stuff.

144
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: I think that the takeaway from this is we are

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: either so unaware or so passive that we don't punish

146
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: just the most horrendous, felonious theft of tax money. Well

147
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: and or, as I pointed out a million times, they've

148
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: narrowed the tax base so much.

149
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: That's so it's gonna be really footing the bill.

150
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 4: They don't have the numbers, so at least on the

151
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: federal level, half people don't pay taxes, so there's half

152
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: you can wipe off of giving a crap, and then

153
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 4: you know, percentages smaller and smaller until you get to

154
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: high earners and then you get the Murney's or whoever

155
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: going out there, Gavin Newsom talking about the rich don't pay.

156
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: Their fair share. So, oh my god, it's just so maddening.

157
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: All right, here's the punch line. Assembly Speaker Robert Reeves, Democrat,

158
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: of course, moved Assemblying Demayo's Budget committee meeting to Friday

159
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: at five pm the next meeting, so that it would

160
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: get no news coverage, and if it did, it would

161
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: be on the Friday night news, nobody'd hear it, and

162
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: by Monday it'd be it had gone away.

163
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's frustrating stuff right there.

164
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: It makes you want to, you know, do something impolite

165
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: to the structure of government.

166
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: People really say that.

167
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: If people, if taxpayers really paid attention to where their

168
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: tax money went, which there should be a revolution in

169
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: the streets.

170
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I agree completely.

171
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: Oh all right, well, that would that didn't make me

172
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: happier for the day. I don't know what your goal

173
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: was there, make me angry and.

174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Exposing the sins of those who were a thieving taxpayer dollars.

175
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: The vision is righteous.

176
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: Hey, you ever listen to Armstrong and Getty, they'll make

177
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: you angry and sad. It's fantastic. Oh, it's great.

178
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: If you're ever feeling too cheery you're optimistic, and tune

179
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: them in.

180
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: Trust me.

181
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: Hey, you're on your way to work or on your

182
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: home or whatever. It's a nice day, and you listen

183
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: to music and get the windows down. Flip over Armstrong

184
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: and Getty. You'll be angry and sad when you pull

185
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: in the driveway. All right now, I'm gonna flip a

186
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: little bit. Oh so, Jack's in favor of you being

187
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: blissfully ignorant and being stolen from sheeps to the slaughter.

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: Sheep to be shared, well, shared, then slaughtered. It doesn't

189
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 4: really matter whatever. No, I guess you'd want to share

190
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: them first because they'd be all bloody anyway. The point

191
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: is Jack wants you to be ignorant. I've shared many

192
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: sheep in my life, and you do it whilst alive.

193
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: In sheep sharing. I bow to your expertise.

194
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did some polling earlier on people's attitudes about

195
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: Ukraine and that whole dust up and everything like that,

196
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: got some international polling. It's pretty interesting to check in

197
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: on that give you a better idea of the situation.

198
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: Zelensky is in whether or not people feel the same

199
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: way as you do, among other things on the way,

200
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,359
Speaker 4: so stay here.

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 6: Ukraine and all its European allies clear that they need

202
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 6: to see a piece with guarantees, with enough Ukrainian strength

203
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 6: that Russia doesn't use or sees far as Ukraine says,

204
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 6: with factual backing, as they have done twenty five times

205
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: in the last decade, to refit, regroup, and then attack

206
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 6: Ukraine again. Yeah.

207
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: My current working theory is that. And I don't know

208
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 4: why this is unspoken. I would think they'd be having

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: these conversations behind the scene scenes, and maybe they are,

210
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: but that Trump and maybe the Europeans are saying, look,

211
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: shine the deal. We get some you know, troops there

212
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 4: to verify the deal. The United States is heavily involved

213
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: in your mining. Those are your guarantees, Those are your guarantees.

214
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: This is way different than all the other guarantees or

215
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: all the other you know, agreements that Putin broke. You

216
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: didn't have European troops on the ground, and you know,

217
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of US equipment and mine workers and

218
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: financial investment going.

219
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: On at the time, right, But well, we explanation, they're

220
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: just hoping Zelensky.

221
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: And as people pick up on the hints, why would

222
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: you just tell them that.

223
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: All right, that's right. So I don't know. I have

224
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 4: no idea what's going on behind the scenes. I'm actually

225
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,239
Speaker 4: kind of interested in hearing this. This is James Stravitus.

226
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: He used to run NATO. He is ahead of NATO

227
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: for the United States. His view of what this all

228
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 4: means since Trump announced yesterday cutting off all aid Ukraine

229
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,119
Speaker 4: were done.

230
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 7: Gosh, let me think it's gotta be Vladimir Putin. And

231
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: by the way, we underestimate this, but it's also Shijingping

232
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 7: in China, who is looking covetously at that small democracy

233
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 7: nearby called Taiwan. It benefits Iran, which is pumping military

234
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 7: aid into Russia for the war in Ukraine. It benefits

235
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 7: North Korea. Gosh, are those countries we want to be

236
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 7: aligned with?

237
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: I say no, I.

238
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: Set that up poorly, the question being who does it

239
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: benefit that Trump announced we're cutting off aid to Ukraine.

240
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: He believes it benefits putin president g in Iran. Trump

241
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: would say, well, he's trying to force Zelenski to the

242
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: you know, into a peace deal, and so then that

243
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 4: will end that war, which is good for everybody. I guess,

244
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: so wanted to get to this polling of is a

245
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: Yugov poll of a whole bunch of European countries. Most

246
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: Europeans feel Ukraine is not getting enough Western support is

247
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 4: the headline of the pole. Are the current measures against

248
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 4: Russia and aid given to Ukraine enough to prevent a

249
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: Russian victory? Overwhelmingly these countries say it's not enough. Denmark

250
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: two thirds, Sweden two third, Spain almost two thirds, Britain

251
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: almost sixty percent, Germany fifty four percent, Italy fifty three percent,

252
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: fifty two percent, so solid majorities in every country think

253
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: that we're not a Western support is not enough for

254
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: to stop Russia from winning. However, However, on the different

255
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: question of how should your country manage support, it's being

256
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: it's giving to Ukraine currently, increase, reduce or maintain. Having

257
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: just heard that poll where two thirds to solid majorities

258
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: of all these countries say we're not giving them enough

259
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: to keep Russia from winning. They don't want to give more.

260
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: Only twenty nine percent of Swedes and that's the highest number.

261
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: I want to give more twenty one percent, of Britain

262
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: twenty one percent, Germany seventeen percent, then Mark seventeen percent,

263
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: Spain fourteen percent, France eleven percent Italy. So while you

264
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: got solid majorities say we're not giving them enough to

265
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 4: keep Russia from winning, tiny percentages say let's give them more.

266
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: Does that not tell you everything you need to know

267
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: about Europe current to Europe. That's pathetic. Somebody should do something,

268
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: somebody should give more, somebody should help them. And now,

269
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: if you'll excuse me, I'm off to munch on a

270
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: baguette in my beret.

271
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: Well, and then how is from the world and the

272
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: mainstream media in the United States? The story always that

273
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: the United States is abandoning his friend is frent Trump

274
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: is abandoning our friends and blowing up, you know, a

275
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: relationship that has benefited the world since the end of

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: World War two, and blah blah, blah blah blah.

277
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: Europe.

278
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 4: Who you can see I can see Russia from my house.

279
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: I mean, they're actually within shooting distance, many of these

280
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 4: countries of Russia, and they're not interested in increasing enough

281
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: to make sure Russa doesn't win. Why should we care

282
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: more than them? That's been my question for a long time.

283
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: I think Europe has the character of a trust fund punk.

284
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: It absolutely does.

285
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: In every way, soft, entitled, weak, resentful.

286
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: Now I want to I want to support Ukraine.

287
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: I believe it's important, and even if it only benefits us,

288
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: I still think it's worth it. And we're we're weakening

289
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 4: one of our biggest foes.

290
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: On the planet. But uh, you know, that's been my

291
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: ultimate position.

292
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: But the idea that we care more than Europe is very,

293
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: very frustrating. And your your example is right, trust fund kids. Yeah, yeah, frustrating.

294
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: There are some in Trump's inner circle that are in

295
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: favor of giving Ukraine to Russia, giving Taiwan to China.

296
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: It'll be fine if you're on has a new we

297
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: can manage that. I need to pull back from the

298
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Middle East, going to be just going to be a

299
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: different world.

300
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.

301
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: And and even if you're right, even if you're one

302
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent right, the getting there is going to be

303
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: really violent and turbulent.

304
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 4: Trump's argument, it might be that all that's going to

305
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: happen no matter what, whether we try to stop it

306
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: or don't try to stop it, that's what's going to happen.

307
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: Fascinating debate which we don't have nearly the time for,

308
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: but we will engage with the rest of the world

309
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: in the months to come. Much more to come about

310
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: your sleep, for instance, and how it affects your health.

311
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

312
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: Time for tonight's show sponsors an So sponsors. It's a

313
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: night show sponsor. Payday.

314
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 8: We Gorilla glued sixty peanuts together, enjoy Staples. You know

315
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 8: you can steal all this stuff from work, right, That's funny.

316
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 8: Sun Chips, find us a subway and basically nowhere else.

317
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 8: Hard Rock Cafe eight months Roll six near Eddie Van

318
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 8: Halen's jockstrap.

319
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: Instacart.

320
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 8: They were out of frozen pieces, so we got you

321
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 8: a gallon of milk and fifty carrots.

322
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: He said, col yeah, nakdden yeah. The glue thing that

323
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention it.

324
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I got Gorilla like their version of super glue on

325
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: my lips the other day. What now you and you're

326
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: doing in your private life. I am huffing gorilla glue.

327
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Hati's making me. How did you get gorilla

328
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: glue on your lips?

329
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: Face? Yep, need to hear this story.

330
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: Authorities are unsure precisely how the gorilla glue got to

331
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: be on my lips, but it has to do with

332
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: the fact that I was eating breakfast. I got to

333
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: sing on my thumb. That kind of splits open and

334
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: it's painful, but if you can superglue it, it holds it

335
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: together and it heals. So I did that, and then

336
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: I wiped off the needle that I'd used, because after

337
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: the first time you use the damn stuff, you gotta

338
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: remount the opening every time.

339
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 4: That's the worst part of superglue and always has been,

340
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: is most of the time the containers are one use

341
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: container because you're never.

342
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: Going to be can't get any out of it ever again.

343
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: So again it was just the needle in the paper

344
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: town owl. And then assuming the glue was dry, so

345
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: I could go ahead and have the paper towel on

346
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: the table as I was eating my protein bar, completely worthless, tasteless,

347
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: trying to lose weight. Actually they're pretty good bars, but breakfast,

348
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know if i'd like touched my finger

349
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: to it.

350
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: And then but I realized, wait a minute, what's that

351
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: weird feeling?

352
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: I've got like paper towel glued to my lips.

353
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 4: So it was, but you didn't get your lips glued together.

354
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: No though, But that's what I was afraid of, Yeah,

355
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: because then you'd have had to do. Will the nail

356
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: polish remover work on gorilla glue the way it does

357
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: on super glue?

358
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: I suspect it would, But I don't want that in

359
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: my mouth either. No. I just want to let you know.

360
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 5: For the small price of about four dollars, you can

361
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 5: get something called liquid skin at your local drug store.

362
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: It's a reallyquid bit. Yeah.

363
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 5: You put it over a little cuts like that and

364
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 5: it works like a band aid and it won't glue

365
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: your lips together.

366
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, about your sores? What does your leprosy doctor recommend?

367
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: He won't see me except from a distance. I can't

368
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: hear him clearly.

369
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 8: What.

370
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: No, it's a I don't know if that would work, Katie.

371
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: It's got to be sturdier than that, because there's a

372
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: lot of stress on my thumb right there.

373
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: That's all means keep glowing your lips. Shut all right,

374
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: you shut up? Who asked you?

375
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: But that's a life hack, right. You get a paper cut,

376
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: you use super glue to glue it together.

377
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and it's super durable.

378
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: If it's like on your thumb that you like play

379
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: golf with, and musical instruments and all sorts of stuff.

380
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: It's gotta be tough anyway.

381
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: An update to a previous story about Assemblymen of California

382
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: Carl Demayo uncovering the incredible waste and abuse. Alphons Nominus,

383
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: who's a friend, says, and this is worth keeping in

384
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: mind when you look at you know, or listen to

385
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: radio reporting and politics and stuff. I think Tomayo is

386
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: correct about the twenty five million dollar stuff, but it's

387
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: worth noting that he also made a big deal about

388
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: wanting various organization to provide him with information. They pointed

389
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: out that the info was in the package of stuff

390
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the committee members were given already. He also called it

391
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: the COVID, YadA, YadA, YadA, and they pointed out that

392
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: it was renamed already, and the sea stands for California.

393
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: Now, now that's interesting.

394
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it was COVID and you just change it

395
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: to California. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not still the same. Right,

396
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call no harm, no foul on that one.

397
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: During the hearing, he said he might not attend future

398
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: hearings because he doesn't have faith in the accuracy of

399
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: the info department provided by the Department of Finance and

400
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 4: the legislative analyst, which is to say, he seems to

401
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: be grand standing as much as legitimately asking questions, which

402
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 4: is his Here his modus operandi. Saying he might not

403
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: attend hearings, he makes it easier for the speaker to

404
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 4: replace him so he could grandstand some more. Those who

405
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: worked with him in San Diego say privately that while

406
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: he is right about most political stuff and is an

407
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: effective critic of waste, he is also all about taking

408
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 4: credit for everything, with lots of grand standing and pissing

409
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 4: off every one of the encounters, including political allies, which

410
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: is definitely what I've heard through the years. And then

411
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: final note from mister Nanymous. It's pretty awesome though that

412
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 4: the Democrats punished a gay guy, a Muslim guy, and

413
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: a woman of color because they are Republicans who are

414
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: taking on the bureaucracy shows how they only adhere to

415
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 4: identity politics when it aligns precisely with their bigger priority

416
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 4: of ruling with an iron fist.

417
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: That part is true, faux show. Moving along to what

418
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: I'd intended to talk about. You're not gonna like this,

419
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: but you're gonna take it like a man. Unless you're

420
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: a woman, then take it like a woman. New study

421
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: published in the Journal of Immunology finds a direct link

422
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: between poor sleep quality and significant changes and specialized immune

423
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: cells called monocytes. These altered cells appear to drive widespread inflammation,

424
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: the same type of inflammation associated with obesity and numerous

425
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: chronic diseases. The research shows how even a nights sleep

426
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: deprivation triggers an increase in inflammatory non classical monocytes, immune

427
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: cells that amplify inflammation. Study authors examined three factors increasingly

428
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: recognized as critical determinants of overall health, sleep, body weight,

429
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: and inflammation. Bah our findings underscore are growing public health challenge.

430
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Advancements in technology, prolonged screen time, and shifting societal norms

431
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: are increasingly disruptive to regular sleeping hours. This disruption sleep

432
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: has profound implications for immune health and overall well being.

433
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 4: So why did you say you're not going to like this?

434
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: Because practically everybody doesn't get as much sleep as.

435
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: They're supposed to, and practically everybody knows they should and

436
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: struggles with it and probably doesn't want to hear about

437
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: it anymore.

438
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: I'm going through the worst sleeping of my life last

439
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: several months. It's really frustrating. I dread going to bed,

440
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 4: and you're sick. But correlation does not prove causation.

441
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 2: It was going anyway, it was going on before I

442
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 2: was sick. Sure, yeah, blah blah.

443
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: The studies more compelling finding emerged when researchers discovered that

444
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: poor sleep quality correlated with increased non classical monocytes regardless

445
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: of body weight. Even lean participants who experienced sleep disruption

446
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: showed elevated levels of this, suggesting that sleep deprivation itself,

447
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: independent of obesity, may trigger inflammatory responses.

448
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be something if the whole obesity thing is

449
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: because we don't sleep.

450
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Enough, Oh my gosh, wow, Or even if it's forty

451
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: percent of it or you know, a third, that would

452
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: be something. Final note, these findings highlights sleep's crucial role

453
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: in immune regulation.

454
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Where is it to.

455
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Sleep quality matters as much as quantity.

456
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: You know.

457
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: My guilt is a loves must gotch late in the evening,

458
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: you know. And there's just no doubt that alcohol use

459
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: reduces the quality of sleep, even if you're in bed

460
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: for a long time.

461
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 4: Sleep efficiency, I don't know about my sleep quality.

462
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: I don't have really any idea.

463
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: I got to get one of them apps or something.

464
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Sleep efficiency the percentage of time in bed actually spent sleeping,

465
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: it was significantly lower, and obese individuals those with higher

466
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: body weights also experienced more wake after sleep onset periods,

467
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: indicating fragmented sleep patterns that may contribute to immune dysregulation. Anyway,

468
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll post this or repost this at armstrong and getty

469
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: dot com in Today's hot Links, and if you want

470
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: to read more about it, go ahead.

471
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: It's pretty interesting.

472
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: But then I wanted to get to this too unless

473
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: you had another comment on it. This is also about

474
00:25:53,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: sleep and the whole blue light thing. Yeah, well, warning,

475
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: exposure to blue enriched light significantly improved sleep quality and

476
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: stability of daily activity patterns in older adults.

477
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: So they've tried.

478
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: A news study from the University as Surius found that

479
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: the right light at the right time makes a significant

480
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: difference in adults older adults sleep and daily activity patterns.

481
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: Morning.

482
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't understand why the blue light things still

483
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 4: exists if it's so bad for us now. I remember

484
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: hearing once is this true or not that the blue

485
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: light only became a thing because of the movie. What

486
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: was that Harrison Ford movie about the future way back

487
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: in the day, blade Light Runner? That in Blade Runner

488
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: they're super fancy computers. This is before everybody had a

489
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: computer had a blue glow come out of it. So

490
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: when the computers got started, they kind of like an

491
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: Elon Musk sort of way, thought it'd be cool to

492
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 4: have blue light coming out of the computers, just like

493
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 4: in the futuristic movies showed. And then that's where blue

494
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 4: light blue light came from originally. I don't know if

495
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: that's true or not. I remember reading that. But if

496
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 4: blue light disrupts our sleep the way they say, then

497
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 4: get rid of it. Why do we have it in

498
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: all our screens? And I don't also know the answer

499
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 4: to this. On your iPhone for instance, or any Apple product,

500
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: I can go on there right now and turn my

501
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: blue light on or off. Look it's off. I keep

502
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: mine off all day long. If I have mine not now,

503
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: it distorts the colors so things don't look quite the

504
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 4: way they're supposed to. But I don't care if I

505
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 4: have my blue light off all the time. Does that

506
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: does looking at my screen do the same kind of harm?

507
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: Or No? I haven't heard an answer to that question.

508
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: Uh No, I suspect from what I've heard that it's better.

509
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: The interesting part about oldsters, and it's not just blue

510
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: light at night, because you need it from like sunlight

511
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: in the morning. And you know, it's funny. I was

512
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: going to bring this up in a different context. We

513
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: are so designed to rise with the sunlight and get

514
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: to work and shut it down when it's dark. All

515
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: of our body regular, our hormonal flow, are neurofunction. It's

516
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: all coded to daylight. My obvious reasons were diurnal.

517
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: My dad's close to live that way his whole life

518
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 4: and certainly up until he left home because they didn't

519
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: have electricity. So that's what everybody did because you know

520
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: what else you get, Yeah, it's got.

521
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: To be good for you.

522
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: So the idea of getting blue light in the morning,

523
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: extra blue light as an older person, here's why part

524
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: of the problem lies in the aging eye.

525
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: As we get older, our eyes undergo natural changes.

526
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: The lenses yellow pupils get smaller, and we have fewer

527
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: photoreceptor cells as our bodies shut down to get us

528
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: out of the way. For the younger generation, all these

529
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: changes mean less light reaches the brain's master clock, located

530
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: in a tiny region called the hypothalamic super chismatic nuclei SCN.

531
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: The yellowing lenses particularly problematic because it filters out blue

532
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: light wavelengths. Specifically, it's like wearing subtle yellow sunglasses all

533
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: the time. This matters because blue light is especially powerful

534
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: at regulating our body clocks. With less blue light reaching

535
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: their brains, older adults, internal clocks can become weaker and

536
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: more prone to disruption. And so if you have a

537
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: specific program of exposing yourself to extra blue light at

538
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: specific times, your body says, oh, it's like you know, honestly,

539
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: as a musician, it's like when you lose the groove

540
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: of a song and the drummer's off a little bit,

541
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: everybody's like no, no, oh no, And then when you

542
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: find the groove again, it's like, oh, okay, all right,

543
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: everything's going to be okay, and that we actually have

544
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: that as we get older with the way light.

545
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Triggers are brains. Isn't that interesting?

546
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: So like, for instance, I got custom lens replacement thanks

547
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: to Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, but I got

548
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 4: my lenses replaced, so the yellowing lenses I had removed,

549
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 4: I know, have perfectly clear lenses, made all the colors

550
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: better and everything like that. But that's also beneficial to

551
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: me from a blue light standpoint. Yeah, in the morning maybe,

552
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 4: So that might be a recommendation for avoiding the lenses

553
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: yellowing over your lifetime right there. That's interesting, But that

554
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: that's always been true for human beings. But you weren't

555
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: staring at blue light screens prior to right, you know,

556
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: twenty years ago.

557
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but older folks having trouble speaking, not speaking sleeping,

558
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: is uh? I mean, that's been true like for all

559
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: of human existence. And this is part of the reason why,

560
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: because you know, we focus on the blue light keeping

561
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: us up at night, but the blue light waking us

562
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: up in the right way at the right time every day.

563
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: That goes backward in effect and helps us know when to.

564
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: Go to sleep. Huh.

565
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: But so then my clear lens of making the blue

566
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: light worse at night better in the morning.

567
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: It could, Yeah, depending on what you're doing.

568
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, although I turn off my blue light on my

569
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: iPhone and I still have never heard an answer of

570
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: does that actually work or do any good? If you know,

571
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: any of you Silicon Valley geniuses, please text four one

572
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: five nine five KFTC. I'd like to actually know. We

573
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: should all be doing that. If it makes a difference anyway,

574
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: We will finish strong next.

575
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: Strong.

576
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 9: The FBI hasn't had obviously, they haven't looked at the

577
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 9: thousands of pages of documents that they've just received Friday.

578
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 9: But Cash has a team going through them, and it's

579
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 9: always about protecting the victim. But you know what, we

580
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 9: believe in transparency, and America has the right to know

581
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 9: the Biden administration set on these documents, no one did

582
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 9: anything with them, and why were they sitting in the

583
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 9: Southern District of New York. I want a full report

584
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 9: on that, and everything's going to come out to the public.

585
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: The public has the right to know.

586
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: I feel like the Trump team kind of painted themselves

587
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: into a corner on the whole Epstein files thing, promising

588
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 4: some were insinuating there's some really exciting details that were

589
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: going to come out that we're being hidden from you,

590
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: and they ain't got the exciting details, as my guess.

591
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 4: And I mean, they were waving around some binders the

592
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: other day with the names are in here, and then

593
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: turned out there wasn't really anything and those binders specifically.

594
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: So I don't know how this is going to play out.

595
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: Are you how you're going to satisfy the crowd that

596
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 4: thinks there's really a giant scandal there, right?

597
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: And what I don't know enough about.

598
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: I suppose there's some people I could ask is the

599
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: ethics of if a person who is not guilty of

600
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: anything has their name come up in an investigation, what

601
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: are the ethics of putting that out, especially if that

602
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: brings them like harm and misery or lost a reputation,

603
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: or god forbid, some lunatic you know, decides to attack

604
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: them or something. I don't know how that works.

605
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw some interesting stuff online yesterday about people

606
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: really upset about this Epstein file thing.

607
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Well, there's Jack Agan, there's show Man.

608
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of pus this show with Katie Green and

609
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: Michael Langelo.

610
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: There are friends they're like mand again, they're our radios.

611
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: So look there they're final thought people where they have

612
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: to go. Hey, it's Stabby the clown. That thing is

613
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: so creepy.

614
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: Let's get to final thoughts with your host, Joe Getty.

615
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: How about a final thought from everybody on the crew.

616
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: There he is pressing the buttons are technical director Michaelangelo.

617
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: Michael final thought. I blame sporting events.

618
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: I should be getting a good night's sleep, but I

619
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 4: always always.

620
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Get, you know, stuck watching a sporting event. I guess

621
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: I just got to turn them off. That's a good one.

622
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Indeed, Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.

623
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 5: I have posted a new Katie's Corner at Armstrong and

624
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 5: Getty dot com And if you go there you can

625
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: see this live cam of the big Bear Bald Eagles.

626
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 5: Their babies are hatching right now and they're very cute.

627
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 5: These animals are majestic.

628
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: Majestic the national bird. Did you know that?

629
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: Jack Gee? Yes, bigs, yep, that's gold shirts Jack. Final thought.

630
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: You know, I've been saying for years that the State

631
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: of the Union address isn't even really worth watching, and

632
00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 4: that's what Trump's basically doing tonight and guaranteed it's worth watching.

633
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: I mean, there's almost no chance that newsworthy stuff doesn't

634
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: come out of this one way or the other.

635
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it will be much more substantive than these things

636
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: virtually ever are. It's going to be fairly simple, straightforward

637
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: and according to the White House powerful, well.

638
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 2: What the Resistance has planned, and just all the way

639
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: around the coverage of it. My final thought is it'll

640
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: be powerful.

641
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: Okay, Armstrong and Getty wraping up another grueling four hour workday.

642
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,239

657
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 4: you just fell out of a coconut tree?

658
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: Try a time of blood for dam't play. Let's go

659
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: with a fine. What would James Madison say? I'm gonna

660
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: scratch my butt and where's my check? And I want

661
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: to watch the Real world right.

662
