Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
- [02:15]
Unknown
Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Get it live from Studio C Senior.
- [02:32]
Katie Green
It is a dimly lit room. We broadcast from deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.
- [02:38]
Unknown
And hey y'all.
- [02:39]
Katie Green
Today, Little Friday, we're under the Tutelage of our general manager.
- [02:43]
Unknown
They came riding out of the west from a lawless valley of Sinocon when they came to Washington, not to cut throats, but budgets. It's the Doge gang.
- [02:58]
Katie Green
How many people are in the Doge Gang at this point? Is it just Elon with a green visor on his head in a room with a pen and pencil and a.
- [03:07]
Unknown
Ball bat like Al Capone?
- [03:10]
Katie Green
Here's something I. Here's something I realized today, and I think this is the first time in 2015 is now ten years ago, so probably not in the last nine and a half years. The name I heard the most as I went through all my different channels on TV and radio was not Donald Trump for the first time in nine and a half years.
- [03:30]
Unknown
Wow. The musk Melon.
- [03:34]
Katie Green
Elon Musk everywhere. No matter what you flip to Elon Musk, Elon Musk, Elon Musk. The way it was. It's always been Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Right now it's part of the whole Trump thing. So it's Trump adjacent. But it's interesting.
- [03:47]
Unknown
So does Trump get like 30% credit for each mention of Elon Musk? Because, you know, it's like a pyramid scheme. He recruited Elon. Exactly. Share of his mentions. And by the way, I'm sorry, if you have more on that, go ahead. I was going to say there, I really, really wanted to get to our honorary. Honorary gentleman general manager, which was dudes playing women's sports. Fellas, you had a good run. You whooped up on those girls. You showed them men are better at everything, including being female athletes. You won all those medals. You stood on the grand stand with your attempt at makeup and your manly physique and jaw and the rest of it and really showed those stupid girls. But I'm afraid all good things must come to.
- [04:29]
Katie Green
It was fun while it lasted, wasn't it?
- [04:31]
Unknown
Yeah. Next. Prisons. You know 15% of female inmates are dudes.
- [04:38]
Katie Green
No, it is not that high. It can't be that high.
- [04:40]
Unknown
Yes. 15 people states where all you have to do is self identify just because.
- [04:47]
Katie Green
Comes time to go into prison, you're a bad. You're a bad dude. Like Corn Pop. And you have to go to prison and you think, you know, I'd rather be in a chick prison than a dude prison. I mean, there ain't no girls. I've seen those prison movies. This ain't to be fun. I think I'll go in the prison where the girls are.
- [05:02]
Unknown
You're much less likely to get your arse kicked or get shiv. Or, you know, have to get into some brutal gang to protect yourself.
- [05:08]
Katie Green
Sexual opportunities are a little better also, is what I was.
- [05:10]
Unknown
I was getting there. I was getting there. Valentino or what's. What was the old lover? What was the old. It doesn't matter. Stupid old reference. But anyway, yeah, I was gonna get to the lover first. I want to make sure my ass doesn't get kicked, if you don't mind.
- [05:26]
Katie Green
15%.
- [05:28]
Unknown
That's crazy, Casanova. That's what I was looking for.
- [05:31]
Katie Green
15 I'll have to dig up.
- [05:33]
Unknown
That was a bad dude. Those statistics. The Free Press was writing about that.
- [05:39]
Katie Green
Wow, that is something. Wow.
- [05:43]
Unknown
It's insanity.
- [05:44]
Katie Green
And why are we standing up for that?
- [05:47]
Unknown
Well, because they've been convinced that to be woke is to be a good person. And they really want to be a good person. They really, really want to be a good person. An independent thinker who asserts herself when she sees something wrong. Not so much. I want to be accepted. I want to be told I'm a good person. That's a huge percentage of the population are desperate for that.
- [06:08]
Katie Green
So I'm not paying close attention to the whole Elon Musk thing, but the way it's portrayed by the left, tell me if I'm right or wrong. If I'm. I could be wrong. If I'm wrong, that's fine. But this whole unelected bureaucrat attempting to. The word they used on MSNBC yesterday got the federal government, which is a word I love. I mean, you. You were using it, like, prejudicially to scare people. I think got away. Perfect. What a great word. Kenny. Kenny accomplished. Where do I sign up for him? Gutting the federal government. That sounds awesome.
- [06:44]
Unknown
Wait a minute, honey, I need to turn this up and listen.
- [06:46]
Katie Green
Yeah, that sounds fantastic. But nobody elected him. He's been given these kingly powers to do whatever he wants. Now, am I right or wrong about this? He's not signing any pieces of paper that can get rid of agencies or employees. He's recommending them to Trump's executive branch. And they're signing the pieces of paper.
- [07:07]
Unknown
Yes. Yeah, exactly. He is making recommendations to his boss. He is an advisor. So this is just a presidential advisor.
- [07:16]
Katie Green
This fits in with my. This is the first time I've heard somebody's name more than Trump in nine and a half years. Hearing Elon's name all the time. So they must. The left must feel like, as a political win, making Elon Musk a bad guy is better than making Trump the Bad guy. Because Trump's the guy who wants this done, is ordering it, and is in then signing off on the recommendations.
- [07:38]
Unknown
Yeah, well, Trump just got elected and not only, whoop, tiny in the swing states, won the Electoral college handily, but won the popular vote, which really shocked Democrats. And they've been howling that he's the Antichrist and is going to come eat your infant since 2015 or 2014. And so perhaps the. The smartest horses over there on the left side of the aisle, follow me, are saying, look, let's. Let's go after Elon. Maybe we can get people's attention because he's rich and evil and they like the superhero movies where there's a rich, evil super villain. Maybe we can stir people up with that. They're desperate for a message.
- [08:16]
Katie Green
Yeah, I wonder how well it's working. Maybe it's working. I don't, I don't know what most people think about Elon. I know what I think, but. And I'm not scared of people just because they're billionaires. That gets thrown into the sentence regularly. An unelected billionaire who's attempting to gut the federal government. I don't know what the billionaire part's got to do with anything.
- [08:35]
Unknown
Well, right. Well, it's completely phony. I mean, the billionaire is a good selling point if you're going. Like I said, it's absolutely. It's the, the most worn out of arch villain tropes. He's gotta be a billionaire. That's just a thing. So they're just trying to build him up into, you know, Lex Luthor or whatever.
- [08:54]
Katie Green
Yeah, I don't have a sense of how this is landing. Maybe there'll be some polling on this at some point or something. On the idea of trying to reduce the federal workforce and spending everybody. I know, but, you know, you tend to hang out with people like yourself. Loves the idea of shrinking the size of government. So it's not a horror. It's like, yeah, cool. Can you do twice as much? Is there any way you can go faster? It's not. Oh, my God.
- [09:18]
Unknown
And the other thing, I like the idea of some sort of polling, but what I've observed on a number of really important issues, that's crazy important to me at least, whether it's the WOKE garbage and DEI or men playing in women's sports or, or, you know, various federal programs. The polling starts here, but we have the truth and reasonableness on our side on a lot of this stuff, and the polling moves fairly swiftly. As people who are busy Going about their days and don't obsess over this crap. And I'm so envious of you people. As they learn more about it, they think, oh, my God, no, you can't have that big hulking dude beating up on girls. And you see the poll numbers shift quickly.
- [10:03]
Katie Green
Well, I don't know if this visual got anywhere but Fox, but I'm looking at Fox and they got Trump surrounded by these beautiful little girls signing the no more Dudes in Sports Act.
- [10:13]
Unknown
Yeah, it was on ABC News. Although the way that was framed. Yeah, it was framed on Fox News. Of course. No more biological males playing in girls sports. On ABC News, it was transgender women and girls will no longer be able to play in girls sports. I mean, the implication being, you don't need to be a genius. That that's the sports that they are girls probably not being allowed to play.
- [10:40]
Katie Green
In girls sports, most likely leading to their suicides.
- [10:43]
Unknown
Oh, most of them have already committed suicide. Yeah, that's correct. According to the left. Yeah.
- [10:47]
Katie Green
Let's start the show officially. Speak of ranting and raving about Elon and cutting the government. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, February 6th, getting close to the Super bowl, the year 2025. We are Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.
- [11:03]
Unknown
Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. We actually have some FCC news coming up later, Oddly enough. Here we go at Mark in the United States Senate, we will not cooperate.
- [11:15]
We will cooperate.
- [11:16]
With no appointments when it comes to the State Department, there should be hundreds of thousands and millions of people descending.
- [11:23]
Katie Green
On Washington, D.C. we must resist. We must be in the streets about cutting the size of government. There should be hundreds of thousands or millions of people in D.C. angry about cutting the size of government. Are you freaking kidding me?
- [11:39]
Unknown
Evidently, we must yell into microphones mostly.
- [11:42]
Katie Green
How are you acting like this is one of the great crisises of your life that we want to cut the size of the damned government? Cut away, cut it in half. And if next week we need more, we can add it back in. We'll be fine. They're flailing.
- [11:56]
Unknown
They're flailing. Nobody's buying what they're selling. I hope. I hope they are. Except the soft heads that would believe everything they said.
- [12:06]
Katie Green
Again, I only know my own life. I did not grow up in a house where anybody would think cutting government was something scary. It's like, whoo.
- [12:15]
Unknown
Always. I really don't think this is going to catch on. I just like that brand of democratic politics. And it's very prevalent in certain deep blue districts where if you are shouting and angry and acting offended, people think, yeah, I'm going with them. They're an activist.
- [12:32]
Katie Green
Yeah, doesn't matter.
- [12:33]
Unknown
If you're making sense of major issues.
- [12:35]
Katie Green
In my adult lifetime. Civil rights for black people, equal rights for women, gay marriage, things that, you know, people got worked up about and shouted about and then happened and then making sure government workers get to stay employed for the rest of their lives. It doesn't quite fit in with those other ones.
- [12:54]
Unknown
Here's a take that will surprise you. I think for once they may be at least partially sincere when they're pretending to stand up for the working class and black America and blah, blah, blah. It's completely fake. But now we're coming after their turf and their wealth and they're actually upset.
- [13:13]
Katie Green
Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, talking about the household I grew up in, they've grown up in a household where mom and dad worked for the government and grandma and grandpa worked for the government. We all work for the government and we all get to stay in place for the rest of our lives no matter what. No matter what happens. Whether the agency we're working does anything good ever, or we suck at our job or the country gets this far deep in debt or whatever, nothing is ever going to change anything. We just get to keep our jobs forever.
- [13:39]
Unknown
And the unions that profit from all of those people are profiting. The politicians you just heard shouting into microphones, do they know?
- [13:47]
Katie Green
And then I'll shut up.
- [13:48]
Unknown
Then shut up.
- [13:49]
Katie Green
The rest of us worry about losing our jobs every day of our entire lives. Our entire lives.
- [13:58]
Unknown
They have no idea.
- [13:58]
Katie Green
When you get your first job until you retire, you worry every day that this is going to come to an end and am I going to ever be able to get employed again?
- [14:06]
Unknown
I think a lot of those people would answer you. Well, we need to extend the protections that we enjoy to the private sector and become France.
- [14:14]
Katie Green
And I need to learn how to poop. Wooden gold bars or something. Lots of ways to solve problems.
- [14:21]
Unknown
Favors to the Egyptians.
- [14:23]
Katie Green
How does mail by cars?

Oh, it's fine. We got to get to it.

- [18:33]
Katie Green
Is that right?
- [18:34]
Unknown
I don't know. Oh boy. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. I absolutely love this one. Continuing on our theme of change, Jack, you're going to dig this one too. This is from Confucius. Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
- [18:54]
Katie Green
That's pretty good.
- [18:57]
Unknown
Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
- [19:00]
Katie Green
And there aren't very many of that first one.
- [19:03]
Unknown
So that is a conundrum folks.
- [19:05]
Katie Green
Don't think that is your problem.
- [19:08]
Unknown
You know, if you're wondering, I wonder if I'm a first group or second. Well, bad news.
- [19:15]
Katie Green
Confucius was like the way they structured their lives in China for many, many, many centuries. It's interesting.
- [19:22]
Unknown
Oh yeah, by all means. I think we all ought to have a better idea of his philosophies. Not that you need to follow them or anything, but I just to be exposed to the philosophies that have guided, you know, huge civilizations for centuries is I think useful. It's interesting at the very least. Mailbag Interesting at the very least. It's kind of what we're going for. Drop us a note and be interesting at the very least. Mailbagarmstrongygetty.com please. Joe Control Jack writes Ed Pacific Northwest ad I'm pretty sure Jack dropped an F bomb. Hour four yesterday when talking about slang Ed, if I could control Jack.
- [20:00]
Katie Green
Do we know that?
- [20:01]
Unknown
I doubt he did. I've got a time stamp, fellows. I'll get it to you. Okay, the new activist Trump FCC we're going to be talking about a little bit later on. And I am going to turn Jack in immediately after the show. Let's see, Paolo, with a really interesting point. Deportations, the optimistic view you've suggested. It'll take a long time to clean up the immigration mess. After all, it's taken a while to create it. Maybe that's good. Here's the interesting part. There have been a lot of resistance to the deportations, I think because the idea that illegal immigrants just get to stay has been reinforced for years, especially the last four. Disregarding the law has been happening for so long that it's become normal and expected by many. Changing any status quo that's become comfortable for many, be it good or bad, can take a long time. We're lucky. The deportations will also take a long time even just to get through. Those with existing orders of deportation, those with criminal records, the more or less airtight ones, by the time we're through the airtight cases enforcing immigration law will become, will have become the new normal accepted and respected by all, even those who disagree. That's an interesting point, Paolo. I think you're right to a large extent. Yeah.
- [21:07]
Katie Green
The last number I heard is they have rounded up 8,000, roughly illegals. 8,000. 8 million people came in illegally just in the last four years. The total number of legals, we don't know really, but it's 15 to 20 million. So 8,000, it's not, I mean, if you look at it that way, it's not quite as completely out of control rounding everybody up as you might think it looks on television.
- [21:33]
Unknown
Well, as the great Confucius reminded us, Jackie, journey of a thousand miles begins with a single 8,000 deportations. So moving along, Joe, Trey Gowdy said the more you get to know Tulsi, the more you'll like her and endorsed her nomination. Why is Gowdy's endorsement of Cash Patel good enough for you, but not Tulsi? I don't know enough about what he said. I think Tulsi's half a crackpot, but we'll just see how she does. Then he passes along this freedom loving quote of the day from Dennis Miller. Socialism is like going to a nude beach. Seems like a good idea until you get there.
- [22:10]
Katie Green
I looked up Confucius and how long his teachings were the main philosophical legal structure of China from 140 BC until about 1900. So damn near 2000 years.
- [22:28]
Unknown
Wow.
- [22:29]
Katie Green
Confucius was a leading philosophy in China. Isn't that something we should we in the west should know more about him.
- [22:36]
Unknown
Yeah, we should know more about China and their philosophies in general.
- [22:39]
Katie Green
Well, we'll all know more if they take over the world. We'll be living their their lifestyle. We got a lot more news of the day on the way. If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

That's right, the Chiefs are going for their third super bowl in a row, which has never been done. It's more rare than seeing an empty veggie platter at a Super bowl party. It's like, I saw this this week. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called out the ridiculous conspiracy theories that referees have been tilting games in favor of the Chiefs. The rest were like, we'd never favor one team over another, whether it's the Philadelphia Eagles or the legendary and handsome Kansas City Chiefs.

It happens. I get it, too. So I have some interesting sleep stats for you. Everybody sleeps or talks about sleep. It seems everybody does sleep. It does seem everybody talks about sleep. I am having a, I now officially called a crisis, a sleep crisis for the first time in my life. So I got to spend some time looking into figuring this out. I mean, it's a crisis. I've had periods in my life, like lots of parents, where I wasn't getting enough sleep. But that was just because I didn't have, you know, the opportunity to spend enough time in bed sleeping. It wasn't because I couldn't figure out how to sleep. Now I can get into bed. And just like last night, I went to bed at, I don't know what it was, 9 o'clock. I laid there till at least 2am last time. I know. Completely awake the whole time. Oh no. I had no caffeine from 10:00am I mean, I just, and I have no idea where this has come from. And it's just happened kind of out of nowhere. It's driving me nuts. It's a horrible feeling. And then obviously you got all the problems with being asleep looking at government statistics. This is from one of your national health organizations. Something or other. Nearly.

Unknown
Before we get to that, have you dealt with the guilt you have for having staged bum fights for all those years?
- [27:14]
Katie Green
Still staging bum fights. The money is great, and it's shame. It's easier than ever to find crazy, violent drum bums, so.
- [27:24]
Unknown
Oh, that's a good point. Yeah.
- [27:25]
Katie Green
It's really the golden era of staging bum fights.
- [27:28]
Unknown
Wow.
- [27:28]
Katie Green
I could go right outside the radio station right now and find two crazy, angry people who'd be happy to fight each other for a couple of bucks.
- [27:34]
Unknown
He's not joking.
- [27:35]
Katie Green
I am not joking. Well, I'm joking that I'm going to do that. I'm not joking that I could find two angry, violent people downstairs that would fight. Or maybe over in the sales room. I don't know. 40% of adults report falling asleep during the day without meaning to at least once a month. Do you fall asleep during the day at least once a month? 40% of Americans. I fall asleep driving way too often. Always have. Really?
- [28:05]
Unknown
Oh, gee, Money. That's not a minor story. Yeah. Katie's like, wait, wait. What? I know. I've been hearing this for years.
- [28:13]
Katie Green
You don't fall asleep driving.
- [28:15]
Unknown
You just tried to slide that right by us.
- [28:17]
Katie Green
You don't fall asleep driving.
- [28:19]
Unknown
No, I am operating.
- [28:22]
Well.
- [28:22]
Katie Green
I don't want to. It's not like I think it's cool.
- [28:27]
Unknown
I know. I know, Katie. I know.
- [28:30]
We're on the radio, and I don't. I don't know what to say. You just.
- [28:34]
Katie Green
Well, 40 is. A lot of Americans fall asleep during the day without meaning to at least once a month. Do you, Katie?
- [28:43]
Unknown
No, no, no. I actually.
- [28:45]
Katie Green
I can't be driving at your desk or anything like that.
- [28:47]
Unknown
No, I. I simply can't do that. And I don't know.
- [28:50]
Yeah, we're the same. That would be astonishing to me if that happened.
- [28:54]
Katie Green
Yeah. I don't know if I believe this number, but it is. It's from the National Institute of Health. Health. Not. Not that I believe their statistics, but it's not most sleep statistics you hear. Oh, and then look for this. Almost all sleep statistics you hear about pillows and sleep and whatever, you look at the bottom, and it's paid for by a mattress company or a pillow company or whatever. That's crap. But this is from the National Institutes of Health. That'd be a shocking number if 40% of adults fall asleep during the day. Unintentionally once a month.
- [29:26]
Unknown
I mean, even when I had my desk job and I'd go and have a big lunch and I was on the west side of the building, Gladys. I tell you, I remember it so well. And the office would get so warm with the afternoon sun shining on my office and I'd have a full belly and I'd close the door like I was on an important call and just think maybe I catch 10 minutes or so.
- [29:48]
Katie Green
But that's all I was.
- [29:50]
Unknown
That was entirely on purpose.
- [29:52]
Katie Green
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do that regularly in the car or sitting in a chair or wherever.
- [29:56]
Unknown
Yeah, I think falling asleep on accident is like narcolepsy, isn't it? You just kind of start nodding off.
- [30:02]
So it's a sign for sure. I sometimes fall asleep during hour three of our show. Wow, that was way out of line.
- [30:15]
Katie Green
I'll tell you what it is before I give the percentage. We've been trying to do this for years because if you give the percentage first, by the time you get to the what it was, nobody remembers percentage.
- [30:22]
Unknown
Exactly.
- [30:23]
Katie Green
This is the percentage of adults who had trouble falling asleep most days or every day in the last month. That would be me, 14 and a half percent, which is pretty, pretty big chunk. Having trouble falling asleep almost every day I have my whole life. So I just think that's the way I built pretty much. But not like lay there for hours like has just hit me recently for some reason it increases. And this is where I thought it was particularly interesting. And this is from the cdc. The percentage of people who have trouble falling asleep goes up as your education goes down, as your family income goes down and as you become more rural, which is surprising to me.
- [31:08]
Unknown
Really.
- [31:09]
Katie Green
Yeah.
- [31:11]
Unknown
Lower income rural people have more sleep problems than hard driving urbanites. Yeah, this is, that's counterintuitive.
- [31:19]
Katie Green
Yeah, I agree.
- [31:21]
Unknown
But that's the dark of the, the country night. You got the crickets, a chirping you just had. You know, you got flapjacks. What's the John Denver song?
- [31:33]
Katie Green
I don't know. What is the John Denver song?
- [31:35]
Unknown
You know, with the, the thank God I'm a country boy. Oh, got me my pipe I got me old fiddle when the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle.
- [31:43]
Katie Green
Sounds pretty good.
- [31:43]
Unknown
Not fall asleep with that lifestyle.
- [31:45]
I wonder if they, I. If they have more trouble falling asleep because they're not as busy throughout the day. Maybe like the slower lifestyle they're not. So go, go, go.
- [31:55]
Katie Green
I don't know, I have no idea what that is. But then there are the. There the statistics on staying asleep, which is a whole nother thing too, which I, and I know lots of people have. You fall Asleep. But then you wake up at one in the morning or two in the morning for some unknown reason and you lay there for a while, which I hate. I just hate that feeling. It's just the worst. And then, you know, you keep looking at the clock and it gets closer to when you got to get up and you're still tired. I hate it. But breaking it down again. So education, income goes down, the likelihood that you're not going to be able to sleep goes up. A greater percentage of white adults had trouble staying asleep every day in the last month than Hispanic, black or Asian. Any idea why that is?
- [32:39]
Unknown
My white guilt me up. I know.
- [32:40]
Katie Green
Yep.
- [32:41]
Unknown
Yes.
- [32:41]
Katie Green
Yeah.
- [32:42]
Unknown
Robin D'Angelo really talked some sense to me. And now I can't go to sleep at night knowing that my ancestors 175 years ago did bad stuff.
- [32:50]
Katie Green
The crowd that has the least trouble, it would look like from the statistics, is urban, educated Asian people. Almost nobody has trouble sleeping, getting to sleep or staying asleep.
- [33:01]
Unknown
Wow.
- [33:02]
Katie Green
Why that is, I have no idea.
- [33:03]
Unknown
Tiger moms, their heads hit the pillow and they're out.
- [33:06]
Katie Green
Yeah. If you have any guess as to why that is, what the. Because in my mind, you go up in income and education and people are like go, go drinking coffee, high pressure. But that's not. Doesn't fit in with the statistics.
- [33:25]
Unknown
Okay, here's your hillbilly elegy analysis.
- [33:29]
Katie Green
Okay.
- [33:30]
Unknown
We are heavily weighted in semi rural to rural America with the former manufacturing job on disability, drinking too much, taking drugs, smoking cigarettes. Crowd and their lifestyles just aren't conducive to getting sleep. They're obese, they don't get enough exercise. Is that weighted the statistics, Is that.
- [33:56]
Katie Green
The typical rural lifestyle at this point? That's not my experience. But is that overwhelm the statistics now?
- [34:03]
Unknown
Well, yeah, that's. I chose my words carefully as always. I think that is weighted those statistics in that direction. I don't know if it's typical or not, but there are a hell of a lot of people who do live like that.
- [34:18]
Katie Green
If you have less than a high school diploma, one in six haven't been able to get to sleep most days in the last 30 days. So education going down, is that, is that the stress of how do I make a living? Or do you think that's because we've always liked the statistic to make this point of what is the statistic we like two out of three. That's my favorite. People who, people who get divorced are more likely to smoke or it's the other way around. People who Smoke are more likely to get divorced. Smoking doesn't cause divorce or vice versa. But there's a lifestyle that goes with smoking generally. And so that's looking at life. So what I'm wondering about the, the less than a high school diploma, are you more likely to like drink red bulls until 10:00 at night and then try to get to sleep then if you have a college education? I don't, I don't know that.
- [35:17]
Unknown
Yeah, that's. I think, yeah, you, you've led us to the promised land and well done. I say, I think if you looked at a list of say four or five or six, I, I don. This stuff, I don't know, quote unquote, sleep disruptive habits or activities, I think they would be more heavily on the lower income end. But I don't know.
- [35:37]
Katie Green
Scratchers. The scratchers keep you awake trying to figure out if you match three numbers.
- [35:44]
Unknown
Don't know. Bondo on your car. I don't know.
- [35:50]
Katie Green
Right. I don't know if you've got any idea why as education goes down, sleep problems go up. Now, I am a college graduate in a suburban area. I don't know, I shouldn't be having. I don't know what the problem. I do drink Red Bull all day long. No, I actually can't drink that stuff. I don't know how anybody does. My son and all his friends do. They love it. And that's horrible. It's horrible. I limit him a lot.
- [36:11]
Unknown
Disgusting.
- [36:13]
Katie Green
Horrible. But, you know, I don't, I don't know. I might actually have to see a doctor about this. At this point, it's become a crisis. It's a crisis in my life.
- [36:22]
Unknown
Wow.
- [36:23]
Katie Green
And I dread, over the last several weeks, I dread going to bed even though I'm exhausted.
- [36:28]
Unknown
Just.
- [36:29]
Katie Green
Oh God. I can't just lay there. And then of course that adds to it. It's like when you're worried. If you're worried about your blood pressure, your blood pressure checked.
- [36:36]
Unknown
Oh, tell me about it. Yeah. No kidding.
- [36:40]
Katie Green
Yeah, it's just kind of a loop, you know, you can't stop. So anyway, I'd be interested if anybody's got any thoughts on that text line. 415295KFTC. We've got Katie's headlines on the way.

I gotta read from this piece in the New York Post today where they're quoting some dude who has been a negotiator in the Middle east for many, many years, saying he thinks behind the scenes. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt. They're freaking loving this. Finally, let's do something about this.
- [41:10]

Tell you what, I've got some really interesting perspectives to share as well from longtime Middle east watchers who have a very interesting and kind of counterintuitive of take on the whole deal. So looking forward to that.
