Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jetta and he arms wrong and yet.
Speaker 2: Live from studios C see Senior, a dimly lit room
Speaker 2: deeper from the bowels.
Speaker 1: Of the Armstrong in getting communications downbound and hey y'all,
Speaker 1: today we're under the two legitimur general manager the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party down but not out put practically out. Why is
Speaker 1: that our general manager?
Speaker 2: Most miserable approval ratings in a general two generations thirty
Speaker 2: five years at least for several polls out Democratic Party
Speaker 2: is dying for them.
Speaker 1: Or for any party for them. I just wondered if
Speaker 1: it ever been the Republicans have ever been that low? Oh
Speaker 1: oh oh, I see what you're saying. An interesting question.
Speaker 1: Let me check into that. I'm not sure any party
Speaker 1: has ever been this low in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: Uh no, that would be uh no, would be the answer.
Speaker 2: In fact, not within well fourteen I'm sorry. The Democrats
Speaker 2: are fourteen points.
Speaker 1: Slower, nine points lower than the Republicans have ever been. Right,
Speaker 1: So that's something that is amazing. Oh, it's miserable.
Speaker 2: U it's two thirds hold an unfavorable view of the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party, a mere third hold a favorable view.
Speaker 1: Just to get it out of the way, how do
Speaker 1: you want to handle the shooting? The media is talking endlessly.
Speaker 2: About, Oh my gosh, very briefly, another mentally ill, crazy
Speaker 2: person decided to hurt people on his way out.
Speaker 1: It's awful, it is you'd I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is I don't know if this makes any sense or not.
Speaker 1: But the fact that it happened like two blocks from
Speaker 1: the NBC studios is oh part of the reason it's
Speaker 1: getting so much coverage. A nut job in Reno and
Speaker 1: a casino killed three people yesterday. This dude killed four people.
Speaker 1: That's only one person difference. Have you even heard about
Speaker 1: the Reno shooting? Does is anybody we know about it
Speaker 1: because we live near Reno? But I think if you
Speaker 1: lived anywhere else in the United States, you wouldn't even
Speaker 1: have heard about it. So some of it. A lot
Speaker 1: of the coverage has to do with the location, right,
Speaker 1: And the reason I hesitate to bring this up is
Speaker 1: kind of making the argument these shootings happen all the
Speaker 1: time everywhere, which is not a good argument for not
Speaker 1: talking about it. But a shooting very close to is bad.
Speaker 1: Happened Reno in the afternoon and got no coverage. So
Speaker 1: just everything is outsized in New York, is my point.
Speaker 1: I'm slightly intrigued. I must admit I have not dug
Speaker 1: into it, but I saw the headline that the guy
Speaker 1: was actually targeting the NFL in that building and had
Speaker 1: some sort of CTE. Really well, which is hard to say.
Speaker 1: He seems to think he did. He was a high
Speaker 1: school football star, that was the end of his career.
Speaker 1: He could have CTE from that, or he could think
Speaker 1: he has CTE. I'm sure they'll dig into whether he
Speaker 1: had a diagnosis or not. He shot himself in the
Speaker 1: chest when he did kill himself in the way that
Speaker 1: a number of ex football players who believe they had
Speaker 1: CTE have done. He asked in his note to have
Speaker 1: his brain studied, so he thinks that's what's going on
Speaker 1: that you know, other NFL stars who have had ct
Speaker 1: killed themselves. They didn't kill four innocent human beings, including
Speaker 1: a woman cowering behind a pole hoping to live before the.
Speaker 2: Comes, two little kids and one more on the way.
Speaker 1: Yes, so that doesn't make any sense though, Yeah, just horrific.
Speaker 1: It is horrific. And again my argument toward it's getting
Speaker 1: it shouldn't obliterate all news coverage. That's my point. It
Speaker 1: shouldn't obliterate all other news coverage. It doesn't make any sense,
Speaker 1: right right, Well, yeah, I would agree completely. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about I don't feel like my job is
Speaker 1: breaking news anyway, just as a general How do you
Speaker 1: feel about Donald Trump? This makes me uncomfortable, but I
Speaker 1: have a caveat. I was just watching the video of
Speaker 1: him making news, making world news with comments about Gaza,
Speaker 1: Russian Ukraine tariffs, I mean world news, then with a
Speaker 1: giant pair of scissors cutting a giant red ribbon at
Speaker 1: his new golf course, because he was saying this in
Speaker 1: his golf clothes, with his red, this white golf glob on,
Speaker 1: making world news and then taking the giant scissors and
Speaker 1: cutting the ribbon at his new golf course in Scotland.
Speaker 1: Did he need the golf club to have a better
Speaker 1: grip on the scissors or well he was then and
Speaker 1: then he immediately hit the first shot. So but oh,
Speaker 1: I see the inaugural ceremonial, right, Okay, No, My point is,
Speaker 1: are we okay? It just seems a little weird. Here's
Speaker 1: my caveat, very weird, very odd. Here's my caveat. Though
Speaker 1: for people on the left to complain about the Trump
Speaker 1: family and business, and the Biden family got rich also,
Speaker 1: they just pretended it was government business at least Trump's making.
Speaker 1: And this is my family business, which I'm sure benefits
Speaker 1: from the fact that I'm president, but it's separate. The
Speaker 1: Biden family got ungodly wealthy claiming it was government work.
Speaker 1: Neither one of them may be good. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know the particulars of the Trump deal well
Speaker 1: and or entirely climbdestinely. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the Democrats, I'm sure, in spite of their miserable
Speaker 2: approval ratings, which were well earned, they are investigating as
Speaker 2: hard as they can, trying to find mal seasons, illegalities,
Speaker 2: constitutionalities wherever they may be.
Speaker 1: So I wish them well on that endeavor. I don't
Speaker 1: want anybody to violate the oths of office, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'll hear about it if they come up with anything.
Speaker 1: Over and over again, got a couple of big stories
Speaker 1: that we're going to touch on throughout the day that
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about. But the coverage is making me insane.
Speaker 1: I looked at the breaking news. Joe just said, we
Speaker 1: don't do breaking news, but here's the breaking news from
Speaker 1: Washington Post that I woke up to today. Gaza's death
Speaker 1: toll surpasses sixty thousand. Health officials. Say, yeah, that's your
Speaker 1: headline health. Also what health? What health officials? Oh? The
Speaker 1: Ministry of Health? Okay, So I go to chat GPT.
Speaker 1: What is the Gosen Ministry of Health? Oh? What is
Speaker 1: the health organization organized under Hamas and under the control
Speaker 1: of AMAS. I'll be darned. So we're asking the Nazi
Speaker 1: party for the official stats on how many Germans have
Speaker 1: been killed by the Allied forces and taking their word
Speaker 1: for it all more specifically, unspoken but unmistakably, we're asking
Speaker 1: the Nazi health officials whether the Allied attacks are causing
Speaker 1: more suffering among the German people than can possibly be justified.
Speaker 1: And the Nazi health officials say yes, yes, and the
Speaker 1: Allies should stop.
Speaker 2: NPR same thing today. I happen to be listening to
Speaker 2: punish myself for my sins.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And MSNBC was huge on how Netnahu's a monster
Speaker 1: and he's only doing this to stay in office, and
Speaker 1: the military objectives were met a long time ago. Now
Speaker 1: this is just, you know, something close to a genocide,
Speaker 1: which is interesting. Then I flipped on NewsNation, which I'm
Speaker 1: kind of a cheerleader for NewsNation. What do they call themselves?
Speaker 1: What's their tagline? News for all Americans? Anyway, they're an
Speaker 1: analyst guy man. He was, how that includes me? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Their analyst guy A. NewsNation was angry at the suggestion
Speaker 1: that anybody would take these numbers at face value, and
Speaker 1: he said, I have to get the clip of this.
Speaker 1: I thought it was amazing to hear, having flipped around
Speaker 1: like you did, hearing NPR's version and all that different
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. He said, Well, for Hamas, the deaths
Speaker 1: of Palestinians is a feature, not a bug. Their goal
Speaker 1: is to have as many Palestinians die. Well, good for
Speaker 1: you for pointing out what is obviously true and what
Speaker 1: Democrats used to say out loud, like Bill Clinton and
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. They would say that out loud because it's
Speaker 1: so obviously true. Sure well, and I would put it
Speaker 1: that Hamas cannot defeat Israel with arms, so they are
Speaker 1: attempting to defeat them with misinformation and propaganda.
Speaker 2: Is there suffering and horror and hunger. Of course there is,
Speaker 2: of course there is, but the idea.
Speaker 1: Of quoting one of the combatants without disclosing that it's
Speaker 1: one of the combatants.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I happen to be back on the elliptical yesterday. My
Speaker 2: back is healed. I feel great and kicking ass and
Speaker 2: I'm dropping way. I'm getting strong, and my ticker takers
Speaker 2: like that of a forty year old.
Speaker 1: Are you yoked?
Speaker 2: I'm not yet, but I'm working on it. I'm still
Speaker 2: in my pre yoked state.
Speaker 1: The yoking has begun, yes, So anyway, I'm on the
Speaker 1: elliptical watching my news is and I watched The Five
Speaker 1: for a little bit, as it was that time of day,
Speaker 1: and it was good until it just became mindless pro
Speaker 1: Trump cheerleading, which is fine. I just don't need that.
Speaker 2: And then so I switched over to Jake Tapper on
Speaker 2: CNN and the Five having led with stuff about the
Speaker 2: trade deal and a couple of other significant stories. Jake
Speaker 2: Tapper on the unwatchable and unwatched CNN. The first ten
Speaker 2: minutes I think, was all on the horrible cruel Israeli
Speaker 2: caused starvation of the poor people in Gaza, made heavy
Speaker 2: use of the Health ministries statistics had Hot and Cold
Speaker 2: running a sad footage of starving looking people in violence,
Speaker 2: and that was like, it's the only story on Earth.
Speaker 1: NPR likewise, when I was listening before the show and
Speaker 1: do we have time for this? Yeah, I'll make this
Speaker 1: very brief.
Speaker 2: According to you know, the very people, these sort of
Speaker 2: people generally quote, the situation in Yemen over the last
Speaker 2: several years has been the greatest humanitarian disaster on planet Earth.
Speaker 1: For quite some time. Wild levels of actual starvation, attempted genocides,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. A couple of Africa similar Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna get to those, but yeah, you're you're
Speaker 1: absolutely right. Because it is.
Speaker 2: Brownish people against Brownish people, or in the case of Africa,
Speaker 2: Blackish people against Brownish people, or Blackish people against Blackish people.
Speaker 2: No interest in it, none, no coverage, despite the multiples
Speaker 2: and multiples of more people starving in the Yemen situation,
Speaker 2: I mean, not even close to the extent that the
Speaker 2: goals the thing can be documented at all. They have
Speaker 2: no interest in it because it is not the primarily
Speaker 2: white Western civilization against the poor, colonialized, down trodden brown
Speaker 2: people that's why this is getting so much attention, even
Speaker 2: if the media jackasses don't know that, because that's the
Speaker 2: schooling they got from K through grad school is that's
Speaker 2: the only thing that matters on earth.
Speaker 1: Cudiculous, you know, that's a good idea pointing that out.
Speaker 1: That's what should be pointed out all the time. Hey,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of these going on around the world.
Speaker 1: Why do we only focus on one and demand in
Speaker 1: one instance that the one side should stop? How come
Speaker 1: you're not yelling at whoever's in charge in Yemen and
Speaker 1: killing and starving people or in this particular African nation.
Speaker 2: Well, and there was just going back a few years,
Speaker 2: the whole situation in the Balkans with the Servs and
Speaker 2: the Crots and the Muslims and all, when all the
Speaker 2: white people were slaughtering each other, and it was unspeakable horror,
Speaker 2: the whole thing. When white people were killing each other,
Speaker 2: no one cared. It's when they started killing vaguely Brownish
Speaker 2: people for precisely the same reasons and precisely the same place,
Speaker 2: then that became a cause celeb That.
Speaker 1: Is the most underappreciated part of this whole story. We
Speaker 1: should talk about that more later, but we got to
Speaker 1: start the show. Officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
Speaker 1: on this It is Tuesday, July twenty ninth. We're almost
Speaker 1: out of July people there twenty twenty five or Armstrong
Speaker 1: and getting we approve of this program. Okay, let's begin then. Officially,
Speaker 1: according to FCC rules and rags, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 1: Our biggest problem is we have so much growth at
Speaker 1: the fed one cut. What the oh my, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh I just feel like enough with the white cut.
Speaker 1: The comm's Boomleck. That's Jim Kramer, the economist. Jim Kramer
Speaker 1: on CNBC dropping an F bomb because he was so
Speaker 1: excited about the Trump economy and he's not a Trump fan,
Speaker 1: dropped an F bomb. Ain't apologizes endlessly. His co host said,
Speaker 1: it's okay, we're on cable, It's okay. He just felt horrible,
Speaker 1: and then he tweeted about it later in the day.
Speaker 1: I'd like to apologize to all the listeners, like Deally
Speaker 1: look around quite hinged, but do you walk around to
Speaker 1: the world. I don't like it either, but he gets
Speaker 1: thrown around a fair amount. I appreciate the apology. Jim
Speaker 1: but you're okay, try not to do it again. We're okay.
Speaker 1: We got Katie's headlines on the way more news of
Speaker 1: the day. I hope you can stay here. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I completely made my point. Here comes some salty
Speaker 1: language from the text line. Somebody texted Jack, you're an
Speaker 1: ass licking Israeli shill, which is pretty hard. Good lord,
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I agree, it's harsh, but I my uh,
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't make this clear. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening in Gaza, but neither do you. If you're quoting
Speaker 1: the Gaza Health Ministry, you can't use that is your
Speaker 1: statistic and tell me you know what's going on. That
Speaker 1: doesn't work. That's your source, says the Alis. I will
Speaker 1: be starting all slams with ass licking. If you're sore, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's enough of that. Seriously. If you're seriously, if your
Speaker 1: source is Hamas, you don't get to make an argument
Speaker 1: about what's happening and tell me I'm a shill for
Speaker 1: the other side. Are you kidding? I mean that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: No, okay, no, I agree completely. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 2: figure out who's reporting what it's the lead stories.
Speaker 1: Katie Green hit it well.
Speaker 4: Right in that with ABC News quote worst case scenario,
Speaker 4: famine unfolding in gossip.
Speaker 1: Right, that is the big headline because a couple of
Speaker 1: organizations who are aligned against all these world organizations are
Speaker 1: aligned against Israel, and they take Gaza numbers verbatim, no
Speaker 1: matter how many times they turn out not to be true.
Speaker 4: From The New York Times, Starmer edging closer to rec
Speaker 4: uganizing Palestinian statehood.
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that McCrone did in France last week.
Speaker 2: I didn't even mean they don't have an intech government.
Speaker 2: You never you never do that if there's not an
Speaker 2: identifiable government with whom you've established relations.
Speaker 1: Well, practically, yes, that is true. I think the what
Speaker 1: it means is we've all held together for all these
Speaker 1: years and not recognizing them, and now it's starting to break. Apart.
Speaker 1: From Breitbart dot Com, two hundred.
Speaker 4: Illegal alien child sex offenders arrested in Houston in six months.
Speaker 1: Wow, Pikes, we'll have to break into that story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to know more about that.
Speaker 4: From Reuters, Trump sets the new deadline for putin for
Speaker 4: ten to twelve days, not.
Speaker 2: Fifty, right, right, what's the next we'll find out in
Speaker 2: a few days.
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal AI is wrecking an already fragile job
Speaker 4: market for college graduates.
Speaker 1: Yeah I read that.
Speaker 4: No go ahead, Yeah no, just chat GVT at other bots.
Speaker 1: Can do the entry level jobs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the statistics are already pretty striking.
Speaker 1: It's begun, So we got to go into that story
Speaker 1: in depth more too. That sounds really interesting now your
Speaker 1: previous story. I want to mention about Trump and the
Speaker 1: sanctions around Russia again, watching News Nation, their analysis was
Speaker 1: if Trump follows through on this, it'll be the harshest
Speaker 1: penalty on Russia. Wavy on anything Biden Obama ever even
Speaker 1: hinted it doing for the so called Putin shill from
Speaker 1: steady fines.
Speaker 4: Major study warns that weak sleep rhythm is linked to
Speaker 4: eighty three diseases.
Speaker 1: I want to get into that story. You can bring
Speaker 1: in us lots of good stories today.
Speaker 4: Katies well on finally the Babylon b Trump secures fifteen
Speaker 4: percent tariff on extra U in British spelling.
Speaker 1: I agree, hilarious. What's weak sleep rhythm? I don't even
Speaker 1: know what that means. Oh boy, you're probably a victim
Speaker 1: of it, then, boy, I live it every night, you're
Speaker 1: completely Yeah, I don't know what a week. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: it's just you don't get into the normal going into
Speaker 1: rim and out thing that you're supposed to do. And
Speaker 1: it's probably a character flaw. So we'll get into a
Speaker 1: lot of those stories coming up. Stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: You probably heard that you're supposed to get like ten
Speaker 3: thousand steps a day, but according to new research, just
Speaker 3: seven thousand steps a day could be enough to improve
Speaker 3: your health.
Speaker 1: Do I hear six?
Speaker 3: It really sounds like scientists have lowered their expectations for us.
Speaker 3: Explains why the new Surgeon General warning on cigarettes says
Speaker 3: do not smoke during pregnancy unless it's your second kid.
Speaker 1: Then what else? Yeah, I like the jokes, but the
Speaker 1: problem is the original ten thousand step thing was completely
Speaker 1: made up them with a lot of health stats, and
Speaker 1: we're about to get into some here. Is Uh, they're
Speaker 1: misinterpreted regularly. Oftentimes they're very very small, preliminary studies that
Speaker 1: the researchers themselves would never put out there as a
Speaker 1: national story to talk about. But it's something exciting about
Speaker 1: something that can cause cancer or eliminate cancer or whatever,
Speaker 1: and so the media goes crazy with it. And then
Speaker 1: there's studies that are paid for by like, you know,
Speaker 1: mattress companies or candy bars or whatever, and lo and
Speaker 1: behold the study says eating more chocolate leads to better
Speaker 1: sex life or whatever. You know, So sure you gotta
Speaker 1: watch out for that. Before we get to that stuff,
Speaker 1: a couple of things real quick. First of all, can
Speaker 1: we make a vow? We need to make a vow.
Speaker 1: I don't think we can keep it, but we should try.
Speaker 1: We should make a vow every day and work toward
Speaker 1: this goal. To stop talking about cable news as if
Speaker 1: anybody's watching it because nobody is. So that's so fine
Speaker 1: with me. Yeah, I agree. But anytime let me talk
Speaker 1: about Jake Tapper said this or whatever. It might be
Speaker 1: interesting for some reason, but nobody is watching that show. Nobody.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm looking at the stats that Byron York
Speaker 1: just put out from Fox. It's more likely you're watching
Speaker 1: a Fox show, certainly, but uh, CNN's total audience during
Speaker 1: their five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven PM hours.
Speaker 1: Your cherry picking added together don't beat one showing of
Speaker 1: the five, which is not even one in Fox's highly
Speaker 1: rated shows oh, so talking about anything on CNN or MSNBC,
Speaker 1: really is you? Who are you talking to? Boy?
Speaker 2: It is the ultimate example of something holding on to
Speaker 2: just any reputation based entirely on its gloried pass and.
Speaker 1: By people who are old enough to remember when it mattered.
Speaker 1: If you're younger, you don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1: So right, Well, it's on in airports and explic complete.
Speaker 1: We got this CNN have a picture of the head
Speaker 1: of the FAA with a mule or something. I mean,
Speaker 1: how is CNN on an airport's all over America? That
Speaker 1: is almost that is almost certainly the explanation. Well, there
Speaker 1: you go. Anyway, moving along, we got this text about
Speaker 1: that horrible story in New York, the shooting. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to deal with it real quick in case I
Speaker 1: did use sloppy language. You're putting out fake news again.
Speaker 1: The shooter in New York never played in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to imply that he did. I thought
Speaker 1: I said he was a high school star and that's
Speaker 1: where his current You never stated anything that could be
Speaker 1: taken to indicate that he played in the NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess you made reference to other Okay, Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: that's fine, Okay, fine, he didn't play in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but he he did see some budsman weighing in there.
Speaker 1: He did seem to be blaming that brain mouth function
Speaker 1: that you can get from playing football, though, as he
Speaker 1: had a note about that and shot himself in the
Speaker 1: chest and wants his brain to be studied, Which doesn't
Speaker 1: make him some sort of anybody to look up to
Speaker 1: because he killed a bunch of innocent people like a scumbag. Right,
Speaker 1: if you didn't get enough sleep last night, you've doubled
Speaker 1: your chance of ganggreen. I hope you're happy.
Speaker 2: Oh no, not another bout of gang creen, another bout.
Speaker 2: It ruined my summer vacation. Oh wow, it certainly ruined
Speaker 2: my beach.
Speaker 1: Look my beach body getting to big studies. This is
Speaker 1: pretty damned interesting and a bit of a breakthrough. I
Speaker 1: think we've been talking about sleep stuff a lot. Everybody
Speaker 1: that I know deals with sleep issues or if you're
Speaker 1: getting enough sleep. They found a way pretty simple with
Speaker 1: having instead of self reporting about sleep, which is all
Speaker 1: you had to really go on up until fairly recently,
Speaker 1: now you can have everybody wear these little devices that
Speaker 1: report on how much sleep you're actually getting. And there
Speaker 1: are way too many fake long sleepers in all studies
Speaker 1: we've ever heard. They actually that's what they actually call them,
Speaker 1: fake long sleepers in studies that we've heard about through
Speaker 1: our whole lives. It's people maybe like me, who report
Speaker 1: a certain number of hours asleep but actually get much less.
Speaker 1: If you actually wear a device that measures how much
Speaker 1: you're sleeping, just because you're in bed and semi unconscious,
Speaker 1: that amount of time doesn't mean you're actually sleep sleeping.
Speaker 1: And so they had people wear these devices trying to
Speaker 1: track how much like actually you were a sleep sleep
Speaker 1: you got. The numbers are a lot lower, and so
Speaker 1: those other numbers skewed everything we've ever had about sleep
Speaker 1: because you got a whole bunch of people in there
Speaker 1: claiming they sleep eight hours a night and they're actually
Speaker 1: sleeping six. Is anybody struck?
Speaker 2: Anybody else struck by the hilarious irony of self reporting
Speaker 2: sleeping habits. I mean, if there's one one period of
Speaker 2: my life I can't really account for, it's when I'm asleep.
Speaker 1: True. It's the largest study of its kind ever. Researchers
Speaker 1: strapped fitness trackers on nearly ninety thousand adults for a
Speaker 1: week followed their health for almost seven years. Among people
Speaker 1: who claimed to sleep more than eight hours nightly, nearly
Speaker 1: a twenty two percent, so a fifth we're actually getting
Speaker 1: six or less. That's a big chunk of people who
Speaker 1: thought they were getting eight hours of sleep and are
Speaker 1: getting six or less. That's that's enormous.
Speaker 2: Yes, statistically, that's like, why are you even talking about
Speaker 2: the previous numbers?
Speaker 1: They're ridiculous, right, But let me jump to the headlines
Speaker 1: from it, other than the headline that everything you've ever
Speaker 1: heard about sleep studies is fake because of what do
Speaker 1: they call them, lying bastards. That's not what they called them,
Speaker 1: fake long sleepers. Lying bastards would be too harsh. That'd
Speaker 1: be appropriate. Sleep rhythm matters more than sleep duration. Inconsistent
Speaker 1: or weak daily sleep rhythms were linked to eighty three diseases,
Speaker 1: and then they list them and we could get into
Speaker 1: that later. With the sleep rhythm mean when you're going
Speaker 1: in and out of ram like happens. If you've ever
Speaker 1: learned anything about sleep disease, burden is comparable to smoking
Speaker 1: or obesity. Up to thirty seven percent of Parkinson's these
Speaker 1: numbers can't be true, can they? Up to thirty seven
Speaker 1: percent of Parkinson's and thirty six percent of type two
Speaker 1: diabetes could be attributed to disrupted sleep patterns. That's a
Speaker 1: lot that that's an extraordinary claim. I am, I got
Speaker 1: my fur up p too. I'm very free. Wow. What's
Speaker 1: what's our source here? What's our publication? Is this? Uh?
Speaker 1: It's a dirty Chinese research led by doctor Quinn Chen
Speaker 1: Army Medical University and Cheng Wang Peck Peaking University. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you concerned that the Chinese are trying to infiltrate
Speaker 1: our sleep device? Yeah, I'm I'm highly skeptical about all
Speaker 1: of this. The idea that that bad sleep rhythms are
Speaker 1: more serious a problem than we understand, that's perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 1: But a bunch of commies there at p King. I
Speaker 1: thought we were supposed to say Beijing these days. Maybe
Speaker 1: they kept the name for the university, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: The study linked various sleep problems to one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy two different diseases across virtually every system in the
Speaker 1: human body. Some diseases showed dramatic associations. For example, people
Speaker 1: with the most disrupted sleep rhythms faced more than triple
Speaker 1: the risk of age related physical debility. I don't really
Speaker 1: doubt that. Well, yeah, but triple, but I don't doubt that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Your previous sentence about Parkinson's caught my ear, partly because
Speaker 1: both my mom and my grandfather died of complications from Parkinson's.
Speaker 1: But so little is known about what causes Parkinson's. I mean,
Speaker 1: could there be some correlation without causation or half and half?
Speaker 1: That's that's utterly unclear to me. But my guess would
Speaker 1: be that whoever wrote this article took the numbers and
Speaker 1: presented it as if its causation, when it could just
Speaker 1: be those two things to go together for unknown reasons.
Speaker 1: But I want to get back this because I thought
Speaker 1: it was funny. Paul be You've got a gene mutation
Speaker 1: that causes poor sleep rhythms and parkinson for instance, Parkinson's

Speaker 1: saw you, I saw your hinge profile, and you mentioned
Speaker 1: the Gangreen right up toward top. So it shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been a surprise anyone. Oh my goodness. So this sentence,
Speaker 1: this is the one you're having trouble with. And researchers
Speaker 1: estimated that up to thirty seven percent of parkinson Parkinson's
Speaker 1: disease risk. I exactly shoot them. That means nothing. Sorry,

Speaker 1: variety of reasons. But I've been on this kick all
Speaker 1: summer long. Of at sunset, I schedule my evening around this.
Speaker 1: At sunset, I ride my bike to the edge of town.
Speaker 1: It's about two and a half miles, and then I'm
Speaker 1: in a looking at a wheat field. I'm from Kansas,
Speaker 1: so I like seeing the sunset over wheatfields. So I'm there,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this wheatfield with the sunset, and I
Speaker 1: do this combination of prayer and affirmations and just kind
Speaker 1: of talking to myself or whatever. I don't bring my
Speaker 1: voe in and I do it every night, and it
Speaker 1: has become like my favorite part of the day. Like

Speaker 1: because the sunset's coming, because it's just there's clearly some
Speaker 1: like nourish I'm getting from that that I look forward

Speaker 1: lately thinking how am I going to keep this going
Speaker 1: when the days are shorter and the sun setting at
Speaker 1: five point thirty and dinner and blah blah blah it's rain.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm going to miss it. I

Speaker 1: mail bag on the way and some more news of
Speaker 1: the day. Trump said, I think Israel's being unfairly criticized
Speaker 1: for what's going on in Gaza. I'll say that, I
Speaker 1: think all the news organizations taking the health Ministry of
Speaker 1: Hamas at face value is ridiculous. But Trump said something
Speaker 1: so dang stupid last night, the whole thing, about the
Speaker 1: whole thing, Are you kidding me? Sorry? Trump fans, we
Speaker 1: know he's doing great stuff, doing great stuff, but he
Speaker 1: said some dumb stuff. Anyway, So we got mail bag

Speaker 1: write as kids and why they're so weak. That is
Speaker 1: very funny. Yeah, I've got a.
Speaker 2: Great school related feature myself. Later on, let's get a
Speaker 2: freedom loving quote of the day. Was going to continue
Speaker 2: on with the big man William Howard Taft, but got
Speaker 2: a nice note from Jan who was enjoying our series
Speaker 2: of Thomas Soul quotes and sent along a couple of
Speaker 2: her own.
Speaker 1: So I thought, with the heck top of mind, I'll
Speaker 1: do it today.
Speaker 2: Two quotes Number one when people get used to preferential treatment,
Speaker 2: equal treatment seems like discrimination.
Speaker 1: Absolutely true. Witness the universities and the second one, which
Speaker 1: I love. If you don't believe in the innate unreasonableness
Speaker 1: of human beings, just try raising children. The great Thomas
Speaker 1: soul with a tip of the cap to his fellow
Speaker 1: parents God, particularly as I go through the I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm deep into the heart of teenagerdom. What a wild
Speaker 1: ride that is. Oh yeah, and so different than all
Speaker 1: the other parenting. It's a completely different thing. Yeah, ye
Speaker 1: here here mailbag.
Speaker 2: You may communicate with us via text, of course, and
Speaker 2: also email mailbag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com. Keep
Speaker 2: it shortish if you can, but you know, if it's
Speaker 2: eloquent and brilliant and interesting, let it stretch a little bit.
Speaker 2: Day from South Carolina Wrights stop mentioning cable news. Yes,
Speaker 2: finally you've realized that you guys give them.
Speaker 1: The air they need to keep breathing. Knock it off.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that or we're just talking about something that's irrelevant.
Speaker 1: So right, No, what's the point.
Speaker 2: Let's see on the topic, the unfortunate topic, the regrettable
Speaker 2: topic of the so called the.
Speaker 1: Burbank butt sniffer.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, guys been repeatedly arrested for squatting behind women and
Speaker 2: apparently smelling them.
Speaker 1: Arrested over and over again.
Speaker 2: Turd loose on the streets, over and over, Bill in
Speaker 2: Central Mexico. Right, well, bitos die this, Bill, Hey, give
Speaker 2: the guy a break. If a male or female can
Speaker 2: identify as the opposite sex, then a man can self
Speaker 2: identify as a dog. Haven't you seen dogs sniffing people's
Speaker 2: and other dogs?
Speaker 1: Butts? Uh. It's a course point, Bill, but a fair one.
Speaker 1: I was just reading how the polygamy movement is really
Speaker 1: taken hold. If you can have gay marriage, you ought
Speaker 1: to be able to have a threuttle or a quadruple,
Speaker 1: or two moms and one dad in a couple of
Speaker 1: different states. There are court rulings out and the argument
Speaker 1: during the argument about gay marriage that was made was that, well,
Speaker 1: this will lead to marriage being anything you want it
Speaker 1: to be. You know, I always thought not necessarily. But
Speaker 1: Bill's point is a bill, yeah, is that if I
Speaker 1: can identify as a different sex completely in defiance of
Speaker 1: the biological reality, well why can't I claim to be
Speaker 1: a different species with straight face?
Speaker 2: It seems like that would never happen. But I've seen
Speaker 2: a similar movie before.
Speaker 1: Isn't this the kind of the argument though? What's next?
Speaker 1: Marrion dogs about gay marriage? Yeah, but a different degree.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say a thruple is between like gay marriage
Speaker 2: and marrying dogs?
Speaker 1: Definitely? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's see this from Aaron on the same topic
Speaker 2: of the b s ing and from Burbank, You guys
Speaker 2: can joke all you on on your rarely funny fascist
Speaker 2: adjacent AM radio show.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a rod phrase. Don't let that one slip
Speaker 1: by too quick. Funny fascist fascist.
Speaker 2: Adjacent Okay, Yeah, you had some good writing all all through.
Speaker 2: But rising aggression, boundary violations, and bizarre dominance rituals are
Speaker 2: in fact increasing under ecological and social collapse. What you're
Speaker 2: calling quote butt sniffing is just one expression of how
Speaker 2: climate driven stress, economic instability, and collapsing norms hit vulnerable
Speaker 2: group's hardest, especially men who are condition to ascertain power
Speaker 2: when everything else is out of control.
Speaker 1: Ignoring this link isn't humor.
Speaker 2: It's part of the same colonial, white, supreme capitalist mindset
Speaker 2: that created the climate crisis in the first place. Deny
Speaker 2: the science, mock vulnerable groups, pretend individual behavior exists outside
Speaker 2: of systemic collapse. Pretending this isn't happening is a white
Speaker 2: denial privilege.
Speaker 1: I get it. That is some fine parody here. It
Speaker 1: has well written sir fascist adjacent to II oughta. I
Speaker 1: don't agree with Donald Trump's view of the so called
Speaker 1: famine that's going on in Gaza, among other things we'll
Speaker 1: get into an hour two Armstrong and Getty
