Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he.
Speaker 2: Arms live a drum studio scene season your It is
Speaker 2: a dimmling lit room. We are broadcast from deep in
Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And
Speaker 2: hey y'all today, little Friday, we're under the tutelage of
Speaker 2: our general manager.
Speaker 3: They came riding out of the west from the lawless
Speaker 3: Valley of Sinacon when they came to Washington, not to
Speaker 3: cut throats, but budgets.
Speaker 4: It's the Doge Gang. How many people are in the
Speaker 4: Doje Gang at this point? Is it just Elon with
Speaker 4: a green voletor on his head in a room with
Speaker 4: a pen and pencil and a doll bat like al Capone.
Speaker 4: Here's something, Here's something I realized today. And I think
Speaker 4: this is the first time in twenty fifteen is now
Speaker 4: ten years ago, so probably not in the last nine
Speaker 4: and a half years. The name I heard the most
Speaker 4: as I went through all my different channels on TV
Speaker 4: and radio was not Donald Trump. For the first time
Speaker 4: in nine and a half years. Wow, is the Muskmellon,
Speaker 4: Elon Musk everywhere, no matter what you flip to Elon Musk,
Speaker 4: Elon Musky, Lion Musk, the way it was, it's always
Speaker 4: been Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Right, that's part of
Speaker 4: the whole Trump thing. So it's Trump adjacent. But it's interesting.
Speaker 4: So does Trump get like thirty percent credit for each
Speaker 4: mention of Elon Musk because you know, it's like a
Speaker 4: pyramid scheme. He recruited Elon's exactly share of his mansions.
Speaker 4: And by the way, I'm sorry if you have more
Speaker 4: on that go. I was gonna say that, I really
Speaker 4: really wanted to get to our honorary honorary general general manager,
Speaker 4: which was dudes playing women's sports. Fellas, you had a
Speaker 4: good run. You whooped up on those girls. You showed
Speaker 4: them men are better at everything, including being female athletes.
Speaker 1: You won all those medals.
Speaker 4: You stood on the grand stand with your attempt at
Speaker 4: makeup and your manly physique and jaw and the rest
Speaker 4: of it, and really showed those stupid girls. But I'm
Speaker 4: afraid all good things must come to an end. It's fun,
Speaker 4: well least it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, next, prisons.
Speaker 4: You know, fifteen percent of female inmates or dudes. No,
Speaker 4: it is not. Yes, it can't be that. Yes, all
Speaker 4: the blue stinks where all you have to do is
Speaker 4: self identify, just because comes time to go into prison.
Speaker 4: You're a bad You're a bad dude like corn Pop
Speaker 4: and you have to go to prison. And you think,
Speaker 4: you know, I'd rather be in a chick prison than
Speaker 4: a dude prison. I mean, there ain't no girls. I've
Speaker 4: seen those prison movies. This ain't gonna be fun. Ain't
Speaker 4: got go in the prison where the girls are. You're
Speaker 4: much less likely to get your arse kicked or get
Speaker 4: you have to, you know, have to get into some
Speaker 4: brutal gang to protect yourself. Sexual opportunities are a little
Speaker 4: better also as well. I was getting there. I was
Speaker 4: getting there.
Speaker 1: Valentino or what's what was the old lover?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: What was he?
Speaker 4: The old It doesn't matter, stupid old reference. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I was going to get to the lover first. I
Speaker 4: want to make sure my ass doesn't get kicked. If
Speaker 4: you don't mind. Fifteen percent, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Casanova, that's what I was looking for. Fifteen percent. I'll
Speaker 1: have to do about, dude.
Speaker 4: Those statistics. The Free Press was writing about that. Wow,
Speaker 4: that is something. Wow, it's insanity and why we are
Speaker 4: doing well because they've been convinced that to be woke
Speaker 4: is to be a good person, and they really want
Speaker 4: to be a good person. They really really want to
Speaker 4: be a good person, an independent thinker who asserts herself
Speaker 4: when she sees something wrong. Not so much. I want
Speaker 4: to be accepted. I want to be told I'm a
Speaker 4: good person. That's huge percentage of population are desperate for that.
Speaker 4: So I'm not paying close attention to the whole Elon
Speaker 4: Musk thing, but the way it's portrayed by the left.
Speaker 4: Tell me if I'm right or wrong. If I'm I
Speaker 4: could be wrong. If I'm wrong, that's fine. But this
Speaker 4: whole unelected bureaucrat attempting to the word they used in
Speaker 4: MSNBC yesterday gout the federal government, which is a word
Speaker 4: I love. I mean you you were using it like
Speaker 4: prejudicially to scare people. I think, gut away what PCT
Speaker 4: What a great word, Kenny Kenny accompliet. Where do I
Speaker 4: sign up for him? Gutting the federal government? That sounds awesome.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, honey, I need to turn this up
Speaker 4: and listen. Yeah, that sounds fantastic, but uh, nobody elected him.
Speaker 4: He's been given these kingly powers to do whatever he wants. Now,
Speaker 4: Am I right or wrong about this? He's not signing
Speaker 4: any pieces of paper that can get rid of agencies
Speaker 4: or employees. He's recommending them to Trump's executive and they're
Speaker 4: signing the pieces of paper. Yes, yeah, exactly. He is
Speaker 4: making recommendations to his boss. He is an advisor, so
Speaker 4: this is just a presidential advisor. This fits in with
Speaker 4: my This is the first time I've heard somebody's name
Speaker 4: more than Trump in nine and a half years. Hearing
Speaker 4: Elon's name all the time. So they must the left
Speaker 4: must feel like as a political win, making Elon Musk
Speaker 4: a bad guy is better than making Trump the bad guy,
Speaker 4: because Trump's the guy who wants this done, is ordering it,
Speaker 4: and is then then signing off on the recommendations.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, Trump just got elected and not only whooped tiny
Speaker 4: in the Swing States, won the electoral college handily, but
Speaker 4: won the popular vote, which really shocked Democrats. And they've
Speaker 4: been howling that he's the Antichrist and is going to
Speaker 4: come eat your infant since twenty fifteen or twenty fourteen,
Speaker 4: and so perhaps the smartest horses over there on the
Speaker 4: left side of the island follow me are saying, look,
Speaker 4: let's let's go after Elon. Maybe we can get people's
Speaker 4: attention because he's rich and evil, and they like the
Speaker 4: superhero movies where there's a rich, evil super villain.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can stir people up with that they're desperate
Speaker 1: for a message.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder how well it's working. Maybe it's working.
Speaker 4: I don't know what most people think about Elon. I
Speaker 4: know what I think, but and I'm not scared of
Speaker 4: people just because they're billionaires. That gets thrown into the
Speaker 4: sentence regularly, an unelected billionaire who's attempting to gut the
Speaker 4: federal government. I don't know what the billionaire part's got
Speaker 4: to do with anything. Well, right, well, it's completely phony.
Speaker 4: I mean, the billionaire is a good selling point if
Speaker 4: you're going like I said, it's absolutely the most worn
Speaker 4: out of arch villain tropes. He's got to be a billionaire,
Speaker 4: that's just a thing. So they're just trying to build
Speaker 4: him up into you know, Lex Luthor or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't have a sense of how this is landing.
Speaker 4: Maybe there'll be some polling on this at some point.
Speaker 4: Or something on the idea of trying to reduce the
Speaker 4: federal workforce and spending everybody I know, but you know,
Speaker 4: you end up hang out with people like yourself loves
Speaker 4: the idea.
Speaker 1: Of shrinking beside the government.
Speaker 4: So it's not a horror. It's like, yeah, cool, can
Speaker 4: you do twice as much? Is there any way you
Speaker 4: can go faster? It's not oh my god. And the
Speaker 4: other thing. I like the idea of some sort of polling,
Speaker 4: but what I've observed on a number of really important
Speaker 4: issues that's crazy important to me at least, whether it's
Speaker 4: the woke garbage and DEI, or men playing in women's sports,
Speaker 4: or or you know, various federal programs. The polling starts here,
Speaker 4: but we have the truth and reasonableness on our side
Speaker 4: on a lot of this stuff. And the polling moves
Speaker 4: fairly swiftly as people who are busy going about their
Speaker 4: days and don't obsess over this crap.
Speaker 1: And I'm so envious a few people as.
Speaker 4: They learn more about it, they think, oh my god, no,
Speaker 4: you can't have that big, hulking dude beating up on girls.
Speaker 1: And you see the poll numbers shift quickly.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if this vision got anywhere but Fox.
Speaker 4: But I'm looking at Fox, and they got Trump surrounded
Speaker 4: by these beautiful little girls signing them no more dudes
Speaker 4: in sports act. Yeah, it was on ABC News a
Speaker 4: whole lot the way that was framed. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: framed on Fox News, of course, no more biological males
Speaker 4: playing in girls sports.
Speaker 1: On ABC News.
Speaker 4: It was transgender women and girls will no longer be
Speaker 4: able to play in girls sports. I mean, the implication
Speaker 4: being you don't need to be a genius, that that's
Speaker 4: the sports that they are. Girls probably not being allowed
Speaker 4: to play in girls' sports, most likely leading to their suicides. Well,
Speaker 4: most of them have already committed suicide. Yeah, that's correct,
Speaker 4: according to the left. Yeah, let's start the show officially,
Speaker 4: speak of renting and raven about Elon and cutting the government.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 4: It is Thursday, February sixth, getting close to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: The you're twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting
Speaker 4: we approve of this program. Let's begin then officially FCC
Speaker 4: rules and regulations. We actually have some FCC news coming
Speaker 4: up later. Oddly enough, here we go at Mark in
Speaker 4: the United States Senate, we will not cooperate.
Speaker 1: We will cooperate with no appointments. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the State Department.
Speaker 4: There should be hundreds of thousands and millions of people
Speaker 4: descending on Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: We must rees asked. We must be in the streets
Speaker 1: about cutting the size of government.
Speaker 4: There should be hundreds of thousands or millions of peoples
Speaker 4: in DC angry about cutting the size of government?
Speaker 1: Are you freaking kidding me? Evidently?
Speaker 4: We must yell into microphones mostly, how are you acting
Speaker 4: like this is one of the great crisises of your life?
Speaker 4: That we want to cut the size of the damned government?
Speaker 4: Cut away, cut it in half, and if next week
Speaker 4: we need more, we can add it back in. We'll
Speaker 4: be fine. They're flowered, they're flailing. Nobody's buying what they're selling,
Speaker 4: I hope, except except the soft heads that would believe
Speaker 4: everything they said. Again, I only know my own life.
Speaker 4: I did not grow up in a house where anybody
Speaker 4: would think cutting government was something scary. Whoa always, I
Speaker 4: really don't think this is going to catch on. I
Speaker 4: just like that brand of democratic politics, and it's very
Speaker 4: prevalent in certain deep blue districts where if you are
Speaker 4: shouting and angry and acting offended, people think, yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: going with them.
Speaker 1: They're an activist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rano, it doesn't matter if you're making sense of
Speaker 4: major issues in my adult lifetime. Civil rights for black people,
Speaker 4: equal rights for women, gay marriage, things that you know,
Speaker 4: people got worked up about and shouted about then then
Speaker 4: and then happened, and then making sure government workers get
Speaker 4: to stay employed for the rest of our lives. It
Speaker 4: doesn't quite fit in with those other ones. Here's a
Speaker 4: take that will surprise you. I think, for once, they
Speaker 4: may be at least partially sincere. When they're pretty tend
Speaker 4: to stand up for the working class and black American
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, it's completely fake. But now that we're
Speaker 4: coming after their turf and their wealth and they're actually upset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. I mean.
Speaker 4: Talking about the household I grew up, and they've grown
Speaker 4: up in a household where mom and dad worked for
Speaker 4: the government and grandma and grandpa worked for the government.
Speaker 4: We all work for the government, and we all get
Speaker 4: to stay employed for the rest of our lives no
Speaker 4: matter what, no matter what happens, whether the agency we're
Speaker 4: working does anything good. Ever, or we suck at our job,
Speaker 4: or the country gets this far deep in debt or whatever.
Speaker 1: Nothing is ever going to change anything. We just get
Speaker 1: to keep our jobs forever.
Speaker 4: And the unions that profit from all of those people
Speaker 4: are profiting the politicians you just heard shouting into microphones.
Speaker 1: Do they know then I'll shut up, Then shut up.
Speaker 4: The rest of us worry about losing our jobs every
Speaker 4: day of our entire lives.
Speaker 1: Our entire lives.
Speaker 4: When you get your first job until you retire, you
Speaker 4: worry every day that this is going to come to
Speaker 4: an end.
Speaker 1: And am I going to ever be able to get
Speaker 1: employed again.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of those people would answer you, well,
Speaker 4: we need to extend the protections that we.
Speaker 1: Enjoy to the private sector, all right and become France.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to learn how to hoop wooden gold
Speaker 4: bars or something. Uh, lots of ways to sell pro
Speaker 4: favors to the Egyptians. How does mail battle? Oh, it's fine,
Speaker 4: we got to get to it.
Speaker 1: Colds on the way. Our text line is four one
Speaker 1: five two nine five k FTC. I think my head's
Speaker 1: getting rounder, which is not my goal. IFQU had a dating.
Speaker 4: Pro profile, which I don't, I would say I have
Speaker 4: a perfectly round head. For instance, that's when it comes
Speaker 4: through the clutter presented as a positive walks on beaches,
Speaker 4: I like to laugh and to cry.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a very round head, girls, very round.
Speaker 2: I wonder.
Speaker 4: I wonder how round a parracle like a globe or
Speaker 4: a ball swipe?
Speaker 1: Right? Is that right? I don't know. Yeh boy, here's
Speaker 1: your freedom loving quote of the day. I absolutely love
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 4: Continuing on our theme of change, Jack, you're gonna dig
Speaker 4: this one too.
Speaker 1: This is from Confucius.
Speaker 4: Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change, and
Speaker 4: aren't very many of that first one. So that is
Speaker 4: a conundrum, folks.
Speaker 1: Don't think that is your problem.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: If you're wondering, I wonder if I'm first group or second?
Speaker 1: Well, bad news.
Speaker 4: Confucius is like the way they structured their lives in
Speaker 4: China for many, many, many centuries.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Oh yeah, By.
Speaker 4: All means, I think we all ought to have a
Speaker 4: better idea of his philosophies.
Speaker 1: Not that you need to follow them or anything, but.
Speaker 4: I just to be exposed to the philosophies that have
Speaker 4: guided you know, huge civilizations for centuries. Is I think
Speaker 4: it's interesting at the very least, mailbag what interesting? At
Speaker 4: the very least, it's kind of what we're going for.
Speaker 4: Trump us a note and be interesting at the very least.
Speaker 4: Mail bag at Armstrong e getty dot com. Please shoe control,
Speaker 4: Jack writes ed Pacific Northwest Ed. I'm pretty sure Jack
Speaker 4: dropped an F bomb our four yesterday when talking about slang.
Speaker 1: Ed if I could control Jack? Do we know that?
Speaker 4: I doubt he did. I've got a time a stamp
Speaker 4: of fellows. I'll get it to you. The new activist
Speaker 4: Trump FCC we're going to be talking about a little
Speaker 4: bit later on, and I am going to turn Jackie
Speaker 4: in immediately after the show. Let's see Paolo with a
Speaker 4: really interesting point deportations.
Speaker 1: The optimistic view.
Speaker 4: You've suggested, it'll take a long time clean up the
Speaker 4: immigration mess. After all, it's taken a while to create it.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's good.
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting part.
Speaker 4: There have been a lot of resistance to the deportations.
Speaker 4: I think because the idea that illegal immigrants just get
Speaker 4: to stay has been reinforced for years, especially the last
Speaker 4: four just reguard. The law has been happening for so
Speaker 4: long it has become normal and expected by many. Changing
Speaker 4: any status quote that's become comfortable for many, be it
Speaker 4: good or bad, can take a long time. We're lucky.
Speaker 4: The deportations will also take long time, even just to
Speaker 4: get through those with existing orders of deportation, those are
Speaker 4: criminal records, the more or less airtight ones. By the
Speaker 4: time we're through the air tight cases, enforcing immigration law
Speaker 4: will become will have become the new normal, accepted and respected.
Speaker 1: By all, even those who disagree.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting point, Pal, I think you're right to
Speaker 4: a large extent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Last number I heard is they have rounded up eight thousand,
Speaker 4: roughly illegals. Eight thousand eight million people came in illegally
Speaker 4: just in the last four years. The total number of
Speaker 4: illegals we don't know really, but it's fifteen to twenty million.
Speaker 4: So eight thousand it's not I mean, you look at
Speaker 4: it that way, it's not quite as completely out of
Speaker 4: control rounding everybody up as you might think it looks
Speaker 4: on television.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the great confused.
Speaker 4: She's just reminded us Jackie Journey of one thousand Miles
Speaker 4: begins with a single eight thousand deportations. So moving along,
Speaker 4: Joe Trey Goudy said, the more you get to know Tulsi,
Speaker 4: the more you like her.
Speaker 1: An endorsed her nomination.
Speaker 4: Why is Goudy's endorsement of cash buttell good enough for
Speaker 4: you but not Tulsi. I don't know enough about what
Speaker 4: he said. I think Tulsi's half a crackpot, but we'll
Speaker 4: just see how she does. Then he passes along this
Speaker 4: freedom loving Code of the Day from Dennis Miller. Socialism
Speaker 4: is like going to a nude beach. Seems like a
Speaker 4: good idea until.
Speaker 1: You get there.
Speaker 4: I looked up Confucius in how long his teachings were
Speaker 4: the main philosophical legal structure of China from one forty
Speaker 4: BC until about nineteen hundred. So damn here, two thousand years. Wow,
Speaker 4: Confucius was a leading philosophy in China. Isn't that something
Speaker 4: we should we in the West should know more about him? Yeah,
Speaker 4: we should know more about China and their philosophies in general. Well,
Speaker 4: we'll all know more if they take over the world.
Speaker 4: We'll be living their lifestyle. We got a lot more
Speaker 4: news of the day on the way if you miss
Speaker 4: a segment at the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 6: The Chiefs are going for their third Super Bowl in
Speaker 6: a row, which has never been done. It's more rare
Speaker 6: than seeing an empty veggie platter at.
Speaker 1: A Super Bowl party.
Speaker 6: I saw this this week. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called
Speaker 6: out the ridiculous conspiracy theories that referees have been tilting
Speaker 6: games in favor of the Chiefs. The rest were like,
Speaker 6: we never favor one team over another, whether it's the
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles or the legendary en handsome Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4: My oldest son, who's now in high school, is going
Speaker 4: to go to some friend's house to watch the Super
Speaker 4: Bowl Sunday, at another milestone in the family development. As
Speaker 4: he is not going to be part of our deal.
Speaker 4: He's going to go it over to some other dude's house,
Speaker 4: where I'm sure he'd rather hang out than with his
Speaker 4: little brother and dad.
Speaker 1: I get it. It happens.
Speaker 4: I get it too. So I have some interesting sleep
Speaker 4: stats for you. Everybody sleeps or talks about sleep. It
Speaker 4: seems everybody does sleep. It does seem everybody talks about sleep.
Speaker 4: I am having a I now officially called a crisis,
Speaker 4: a sleep crisis, for the first time in my life.
Speaker 4: So I got to spend some time looking into figuring
Speaker 4: this out. I mean, it's a crisis. I've had periods
Speaker 4: in my life, like lots of parents, where I wasn't
Speaker 4: getting enough sleep, But that was just because I didn't have,
Speaker 4: you know, the opportunity to spend enough time in bed sleeping.
Speaker 4: It wasn't because I couldn't figure out how to sleep.
Speaker 4: Now I can get into bed and just like last night,
Speaker 4: I went to bed at I don't know when, it
Speaker 4: was nine o'clock. I laid there till at least two am.
Speaker 4: Last time, I left completely awake the whole time. Oh,
Speaker 4: no idea. I had no caffeine from ten am. I mean,
Speaker 4: I just and I have no idea where this has
Speaker 4: come from. And it's just happened kind of out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: It's driving me nuts. It's a horrible feeling. And then
Speaker 4: you obviously you got all the problems with being asleep.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at government statistics. This is from one of
Speaker 4: your national health organizations something or other. Nearly before we
Speaker 4: get to that, have you dealt with the guilt you
Speaker 4: have for having staged bum fights for all those.
Speaker 1: Years, still staging bum fights. The money.
Speaker 4: The money is great shame, and it's shame. It's easier
Speaker 4: than ever to find crazy, violent drum bums. So oh
Speaker 4: that's a good point. Yeah, it's really the golden era
Speaker 4: of staging bum fights.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I could go right outside the radio station right now
Speaker 4: and find two crazy, angry people who'd be happy to
Speaker 4: fight each other for a couple of bucks. He's not joking.
Speaker 4: I'm not joking. Well, I'm joking that I am going
Speaker 4: to do that. I'm not joking that I could find
Speaker 4: two angry, violent people downstairs that would fight, or maybe
Speaker 4: over in the sales room.
Speaker 1: I don't know'm.
Speaker 4: Fort of adults report falling asleep during the day without
Speaker 4: meaning to at least.
Speaker 1: Once a month. Do you fall asleep during the day
Speaker 1: at least once a month? Americans? I fall asleep driving
Speaker 1: way too often, always have.
Speaker 4: Really, Oh that's not a minor story. Yeah, Katie's like, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 4: what I know. I've been hearing this for years. You
Speaker 4: just tried to slide that right by us.
Speaker 1: You don't fall asleep driving.
Speaker 7: No, I am acting to die that way well, I
Speaker 7: don't want to.
Speaker 1: It's not like I think it's cool. I know, I know, Katie,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to say.
Speaker 4: You just well, a lot of Americans fall asleep during
Speaker 4: the day without meaning to, at least once a month,
Speaker 4: do you, Katie, No I actually driving at your desk
Speaker 4: or anything like that.
Speaker 5: No, I simply can't do that.
Speaker 1: And I don't know we're the same.
Speaker 4: That would be that would be astonishing to me if
Speaker 4: that happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I believe.
Speaker 4: This number, but it is. It's a from the next
Speaker 4: Institute of healths health. Not not that I believe they're statistics,
Speaker 4: but it's not most sleep statistics you hear, Oh, and
Speaker 4: then look for this. Almost all sleep statistics you hear
Speaker 4: about pillows and sleep and whatever. You look at the
Speaker 4: bottom and it's paid for by a mattress company or
Speaker 4: a pillow company or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's crap. But this is from the nasty National Institute's
Speaker 1: a belt.
Speaker 4: That'd be a shocking number if forty percent of adults
Speaker 4: fall asleep during the day unintentionally once a month. I mean,
Speaker 4: even when I had my desk job and I'd go
Speaker 4: and have a big lunch and I was on the
Speaker 4: west side of the building, Gladys, I tell you, I
Speaker 4: remember it so well, and the office would get so
Speaker 4: warm with the afternoon sun shining on my office, and
Speaker 4: I'd have a full belly and i'd close the door
Speaker 4: like I was on an important call, you.
Speaker 1: Saying maybe maybe a good shit ten minutes to show.
Speaker 4: But that's all that was entirely on purpose. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I do that regularly in the car or sitting in
Speaker 4: a chair or wherever. I think.
Speaker 7: Falling asleep on accident is like narcolepsy, isn't it.
Speaker 5: You just kind of start nodding off.
Speaker 1: So it's a sign for sure. I sometimes fall asleep
Speaker 1: during hour three of our show a second assignment.
Speaker 4: Wow, that was way out of line. I'll tell you
Speaker 4: what it is before I give the percentage. We've been
Speaker 4: trying to do this for years because if you give
Speaker 4: the percentage first, by the time you get to what
Speaker 4: it was, nobody remembers the percentage exactly. This is the
Speaker 4: percentage of adults who had trouble falling asleep most days
Speaker 4: or every day in the last month. That would be
Speaker 4: me fourteen and a half percent, which pretty big chunk.
Speaker 4: Having trouble falling asleep almost every day I have my
Speaker 4: whole life, so I just think that's the way I
Speaker 4: built pretty much, but not like lay there for hours
Speaker 4: like has just hit me recently for some reason.
Speaker 1: It increases.
Speaker 4: And this is where I thought it was particularly interesting,
Speaker 4: And this is from the CDC. The percentage of people
Speaker 4: who have trouble for a sleep goes up as your
Speaker 4: education goes down, as your family income goes down, and
Speaker 4: as you become more rural, which is surprising to me really, Yeah,
Speaker 4: lower income rural people have more sleep problems than hard
Speaker 4: driving urban nights. Yeah, this is that counter into it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I agree, but that's the dark of the country night.
Speaker 4: You got the crickets a chirp, and you just had
Speaker 4: you know, you got flapjacks. What's those John Denver song?
Speaker 1: I don't know what is the John Denver song?
Speaker 4: You know with the thank God I'm a country boy.
Speaker 4: Oh got me and my pipe, I got me old Phil.
Speaker 4: When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
Speaker 4: How can you not fall asleep with the lifestyle?
Speaker 7: I wonder if they have more trouble falling asleep because
Speaker 7: they're not as busy throughout the day, maybe like the
Speaker 7: slower lifestyle, they're not so go go go.
Speaker 1: I don't know, well, I don't know, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what that is. But then they're the they're.
Speaker 4: The uh statistics on staying asleep, which is a whole
Speaker 4: nother thing too, which I and I know lots of
Speaker 4: people have. You fall asleep and then you wake up
Speaker 4: at one of the morning or two in the morning
Speaker 4: for some unknown reason and you lay.
Speaker 1: There for a while, which I hate. I just hate
Speaker 1: that feely. It's just the worst.
Speaker 4: Uh. And then you know, you keep looking at the
Speaker 4: clock and it gets closer to when you got to
Speaker 4: get up and you're still tired.
Speaker 1: That I hate it.
Speaker 4: But breaking it down again, so education, income goes down,
Speaker 4: the likelihood that you're not gonna be able to sleep
Speaker 4: goes up. A greater percentage of white adults had trouble
Speaker 4: staying asleep every day in the last month than Hispanic, Black,
Speaker 4: or Asian.
Speaker 1: Any idea why that is? My white guilt keeps me up.
Speaker 4: I know, yep, yes, yeah, Robin DiAngelo really talks some
Speaker 4: sense to me. And now I can't go to sleep
Speaker 4: at night knowing that my ancestors one hundred and seventy
Speaker 4: five years ago did bad stuff. The crowd that has
Speaker 4: the least trouble, it would look like from the statistics
Speaker 4: is urban educated people. Almost nobody has trouble sleeping, getting
Speaker 4: to sleep, or staying asleep.
Speaker 1: Wow, why that is? I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Tiger moms their heads hit the pillow and they're out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: if you have any guess as to why that is
Speaker 4: with the because in my mind, you go up in
Speaker 4: income and education and people are like, go go drinking coffee,
Speaker 4: high pressure.
Speaker 1: But that's not doesn't fit in with the statistics.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's your hillbilly elegy analysis. We are heavily weighted
Speaker 4: in semi rural to rural America with the former manufacturing
Speaker 4: job on disability, drinking too much, taking drugs, smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 4: Crowd and their lifestyles just aren't conducive to get in sleep.
Speaker 4: They're obese, they don't get enough exercise.
Speaker 1: Is that the statistic?
Speaker 4: Is that the typical lifestyle at this point? That's not
Speaker 4: mean to experienced. But is that overwhelmed the statistics?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: Well, like, yeah, that's I chose my words carefully as always. Uh,
Speaker 4: I think that has weighted those statistics in that direction.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's typical or not, but there
Speaker 4: are a hell of a lot of people who do
Speaker 4: live like that.
Speaker 1: If you have less than a high school diploma, one in.
Speaker 4: Six haven't been able to get to sleep most days
Speaker 4: in the last thirty days.
Speaker 1: So education going down? Is that? Is that the stress
Speaker 1: of how do I make a living?
Speaker 4: Or do you think that's because we've always liked the
Speaker 4: statistic to make this point of what is the statistic?
Speaker 1: We like two out of three? That's my favorite. Uh,
Speaker 1: people who.
Speaker 4: People who divorce, who get divorced are more likely to smoke,
Speaker 4: or it's the other way around.
Speaker 1: People who smoke are more likely to get divorced.
Speaker 4: Smoking doesn't cause divorce or vice versa, but there's a
Speaker 4: lifestyle that goes with smoking generally, and so that way
Speaker 4: you have londering at life.
Speaker 1: So what I'm wondering.
Speaker 4: About the less than a high school diploma, are you
Speaker 4: more likely to like drink red Bulls until ten o'clock
Speaker 4: at night and then try to get to sleep?
Speaker 1: Then if you have a college education, I don't know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I think, Yeah, you've led us to the
Speaker 4: Promised Land, and well done, I say.
Speaker 1: I think if you looked at a list of say
Speaker 1: four or five or six. I don't study this stuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know quote unquote sleep disruptive habits or activities.
Speaker 4: I think they would be more heavily on the lower
Speaker 4: income end.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: Scratchers. The scratchers keep you awake trying to figure out
Speaker 4: if you match three numbers.
Speaker 1: Don't know Bondo on your car.
Speaker 4: I don't know, right, I don't know if you've got
Speaker 4: any idea why as education goes down, sleep problems go up.
Speaker 1: Now I'm a college graduate in a suburban area. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be having to I don't know what the problem.
Speaker 4: I do drink Red Bull all day long? No, I
Speaker 4: actually can't drink that stuff. I don't know how anybody does.
Speaker 4: My son and all his friends do. They love it,
Speaker 4: and it's horrible. It's horrible. I limit him with losing
Speaker 4: But and I don't I don't know. I might actually
Speaker 4: have to see a doctor about this at this point.
Speaker 4: It's become a crisis. It's a crisis in my life.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: And I dread over the last several weeks. I dread
Speaker 4: going to bed, even though I'm.
Speaker 1: Exhausted, just oh god, I can't just lay there. And
Speaker 1: then of course that adds to it.
Speaker 4: It's like when you're worried about if you're worried about
Speaker 4: your blood pressure, get your blood pressure checked.
Speaker 1: Oh tell me about it. Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 4: It's just kind of a loop. You know, you can't stop.
Speaker 4: So anyway, i'd be interesting. Anybody's got any thoughts on
Speaker 4: that text line four one, five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 4: We've got Katie's headlines on the way. A lot of
Speaker 4: suggestions on the text line, of course, on the sleep
Speaker 4: crisis that.
Speaker 1: Has invaded my life. And it is a crisis at
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 4: But your gut biome, you gotta get a full gut panel. Uh,
Speaker 4: you get those poop transplants. Menopause. It's not menopause. Pretty
Speaker 4: sure it's not menopause. Could be somebody suggested the three
Speaker 4: ms magnesium, melatonin, and masturbation.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, wow, what night after night to get and
Speaker 1: stay asleep?
Speaker 4: Exercise physical exercise, clearly, get I get exercise.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not doing anything different, that's what's crazy.
Speaker 4: Note no changes in my life, just all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: can't sleep at all, like hardly age man age.
Speaker 5: I wonder if the bang bangs are getting to you right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know the double meal eating for those
Speaker 1: not familiar with.
Speaker 7: The term, I don't sleep great when I eat like
Speaker 7: crap sometimes, so maybe I don't know.
Speaker 5: Stop going to Wiener Snittel.
Speaker 4: He does eat like a bear having discovered an unlocked
Speaker 4: door of the Lake Tahoe cabin. What did I have
Speaker 4: for dinner last night? Let's just use like a random
Speaker 4: meal like last night.
Speaker 1: This is science.
Speaker 4: Last night for dinner, quarter pounder with cheese and a mcflury.
Speaker 4: So there's nothing to Katie's theory whatsoever.
Speaker 5: Clearly, I'm just taking it up.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, who eats like that?
Speaker 4: Over the kas Katie, he's hitting Bull's eyes. Let's figure
Speaker 4: out who's reporting what. It's the elite story with Katie
Speaker 4: Green Katie.
Speaker 5: Starting with NBC.
Speaker 7: Trump defends Gaza proposal, says the territory would be quote
Speaker 7: turned over to the United States by Israel.
Speaker 4: I got to read from this piece in the New
Speaker 4: York Post today that where they're quoting some dude who
Speaker 4: has been a negotiator in the Middle East for many,
Speaker 4: many years, saying he thinks behind the scenes, Saudi Arabia Jordan, Egypt.
Speaker 1: They're freaking loving this. Finally, let's do something about this.
Speaker 1: Tell you what.
Speaker 4: I've got some really interesting perspectives to share as well
Speaker 4: from longtime Middle East watchers who have a very interesting,
Speaker 4: kind of counterintuitive take on the whole deal.
Speaker 1: So looking forward to.
Speaker 5: That from CNN.
Speaker 7: White House says it will cancel eight million.
Speaker 5: Dollars in Politico subscriptions.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 7: Doge uncovered that there had been eight million dollars a
Speaker 7: taxpayer money spent on Politico.
Speaker 4: Suo wow wow.
Speaker 7: From the Washington Post, Federal workers must decide on deferred
Speaker 7: resignation offer today.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't have the slightest idea how many people are
Speaker 4: taking advantage of that. Yes, some aspects of this strike
Speaker 4: me as a little too fast and a little too furious,
Speaker 4: But you know, there's so much more to come. I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna pretend to be upset about it.
Speaker 1: Go too far, go too far, to go way too far.
Speaker 4: I'm sure we can claw back bigger government.
Speaker 1: Pretty quickly if we need to. Oh yeah, one hundred
Speaker 1: percent From the.
Speaker 7: New York Post, Ice Raids target one hundred hundred trend
Speaker 7: Dea Ragua gang bangers and Aurora, Colorado, months after the
Speaker 7: government claimed they didn't exist.
Speaker 4: Right, they did not have nearly the success rate they'd
Speaker 4: hoped to because somebody tipped off a lot of gang
Speaker 4: members from inside the government or media or somebody because
Speaker 4: no human being is a legal or some crap.
Speaker 5: From the Daily Mail.
Speaker 7: US Army hits record fifteen year recruiting high after Trump
Speaker 7: won the election.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great headline, which you probably haven't seen
Speaker 4: very many places.
Speaker 1: Unless you watch Fox. I haven't seen anywhere with Fox.
Speaker 4: Who is the other direction, of course, would be it
Speaker 4: would make the CBS evening.
Speaker 7: News from ABC. As the Super Bowl nears, Nor Orleans
Speaker 7: grapples with how safe is safe enough? A lot of
Speaker 7: people saying they're still really vulnerable and there's going.
Speaker 5: To be a lot of people there.
Speaker 1: Well maybe I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'll bet it's gonna be like when I was in
Speaker 4: Vegas after nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: I just it was miserable to be there.
Speaker 4: You couldn't hardly you couldn't stand anywhere without a policeman
Speaker 4: yelling at if you can't stand there.
Speaker 1: I'll bet that's what it's gonna be like in New
Speaker 1: Orleans this weekend.
Speaker 5: Uugh, from Reuters.
Speaker 7: Lawmakers pushed to ban deep seek from US government devices.
Speaker 1: I didn't take long, olp.
Speaker 5: From Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sorry. I was in the midst of
Speaker 4: preparing something. First, You've got to get over the fact
Speaker 4: that wait a minute, all sorts of government workers download
Speaker 4: Chinese communists to influenced apps onto their government devices. What
Speaker 4: are the rules right here? Good lord, you have to
Speaker 4: ban that. You have to tell people to take it off.
Speaker 3: Where are they on?
Speaker 7: From Breitbart dot com, ESPN clowned for not using quote
Speaker 7: men and boys, and they're post announcing that Trump blocking
Speaker 7: trans athletes from women's sports. So they posted a tweet
Speaker 7: yesterday and it said President Donald truck will sign an
Speaker 7: executive order designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned
Speaker 7: male at birth from participating in women's in girls sports.
Speaker 4: ESPN leads the way in trying to stay on the
Speaker 4: right side of the woke geez.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've observed that for years.
Speaker 4: Sports broadcasters are desperate because they don't have the intelligence
Speaker 4: to understand this stuff in the experience, so they're desperate
Speaker 4: to stay on the right side of it because they
Speaker 4: don't really get it.
Speaker 5: And finally, from the Babylon.
Speaker 7: B Liberals outraged as Trump says men can't punch women
Speaker 7: in the face for sport.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 4: By the way, one more sleepstat since you brought it up.
Speaker 4: According to the CDC, the percentage of adults who have
Speaker 4: trouble falling asleep decreases with increasing age, tire among eighteen
Speaker 4: to forty four year olds and with the sixty five
Speaker 4: and older.
Speaker 1: I'm not that old, but maybe I need to get older.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the problem. Well, it'll happen ly, that's gonna happen. Yeah, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna dig into Doge a little bit, and Elon
Speaker 4: Musk the biggest villain in America, and a whole bunch
Speaker 4: of other stuff coming up in hour two.
Speaker 1: I hope you can get it, Armstrong and Getty
