00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.919
This is Gary and Shannon and you're
listening to k if I am six forty

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.719
the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. It's time for

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:12.519
swamp. Watching the swamp is horrible. The government doesn't work. Good man,

4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.480
gonna make this like a reality TV
show? Was bad? Dos always

5
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.399
a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe.

6
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.000
A town hall too clearly built on
a swamp and in so many ways still

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.559
a swamp. I have to watch
the malarkey, he said, drained the

8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.719
swamp. I said, oh,
that's so, you know the thing.

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.359
Well, we do expect to see
an update from the press room and there

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.399
at the White House. Corrine on
Pierre is expected to take the podium pretty

11
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.920
soon. I'm sure she can't wait. Yeah, if last week's was any

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.280
indication, she's just going to be
hounded by these questions coming up. So

13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.840
we saw, of course President Biden
sit down for an interview with ABC's George

14
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.799
Stephanopolis on Friday. They played the
whole thing they had to and was amazing

15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.560
because even in that coverage, even
on Friday afternoon, I ended up I

16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.920
didn't watch it until Saturday morning,
but I watched what ABC put out on

17
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:14.120
YouTube, which was the full show. It was half an hour basically,

18
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.680
the interview itself was twenty two minutes. So then afterwards they get Jonathan carl

19
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.760
their main political guy, out there, and his first reaction was one of

20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.599
the most negative reactions I think I've
ever seen to a presidential interview. I

21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.719
mean, just in this context,
where he said that did nothing, It

22
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.359
didn't help anybody, you know.
I guess what he did was he was

23
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.799
watching it while it was playing,
and he said he was texting back and

24
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.200
forth with a couple of Democratic politicians
who also said wow, yeah. That

25
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.280
was the word that was. One
of them just said wow yeah. So

26
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:57.359
it didn't do much. That hasn't
really allayed any of the fears that Democrats

27
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.920
might have, and so they continue
this tour. Joe Biden was actually on

28
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.039
MSNBC this morning and did a Fode
interview with Joe Scarborough and Mika Bruga Kinski.

29
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.039
The American Republic is not going to
move away from me as an average

30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.840
voter. And again, I'm here
for two reasons. Pal One to rebuild

31
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.439
the economy for hard work and middle
class people. Give everybody a shot.

32
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.439
It's a straight shot. Everybody gets
a fair chance. Number one. Number

33
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.520
two, remember all us talk about
how I don't have the black support.

34
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.319
Come on, give me a break, come with me? Why why?

35
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.120
So that was this morning Brad Sherman, Congressman Brad Sherman from here in the

36
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:46.639
Valley was on with CNN and talked
about what's going to happen going forward.

37
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.080
Ultimately, the delegates need to make
the decision. And these are pro Biden

38
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.240
delegates. These are grassroots people pledged
to Biden. They're not going to abandon

39
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.680
him if it's even close. And
I think that if the convention meeting today,

40
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.800
we'd be nominating Joe Biden, and
you would support that. I would,

41
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.879
I would very much. I'm very
glad that we have a month to

42
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.240
get more information. Okay, hold
on a lot of times, it's not

43
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.560
a lot of time, and either
you're all in or you're not all in.

44
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.840
I mean, I don't That was
a flimsy response. It just seemed

45
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:24.479
strange, but he did say again
is Brad Sherman. He said, Joe

46
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.439
Biden had one bad debate. My
big concern as he had a bad debate.

47
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.479
Okay, now contrast that with Trump. He's led a bad life.

48
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.319
Okay, fine, but my big
concern is he could have another bad debate

49
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.479
and we will slip further in the
polls. But I think that he'll rise

50
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.960
to the occasion. He's given himself
some additional tests. I'd like to see

51
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.479
him take as tough a test as
he can, so if the delegates can

52
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.599
make the right decision. Now he
didn't was he was not able to define

53
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.400
what that toughest test would be.
We assume he meant cognitive. No.

54
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.000
I actually think he meant like do
a full week of campaigning, or like

55
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:11.000
the physical or even it's something presidential, I mean if an event takes place

56
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.079
but not after eight pm. So
that's the other thing is when when the

57
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.399
democratic when the governors went to see
him, and whether he was trying to

58
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.639
be funny and said that, you
know, he needed more sleep. He

59
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.079
needed to make sure he gets more
sleep and no events after eight pm or

60
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.519
cut back on that. You're the
leader of the free world. You need

61
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.319
to be You're on call twenty four
to seven, three sixty five. We're

62
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.680
continual. Well, right now,
let me see if I can dip in

63
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:46.199
really quickly. Cringe. Jean Pierre, White House Press secretary is briefing members

64
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.319
of the media. She's actually going
through right now, just a bunch of

65
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:55.040
schedule stuff, rehashing what the president
has been doing the last couple of days

66
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.279
and talking about some of the positive
coverage that he's gotten in terms of job

67
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.399
numbers and things that. So if
the conversation changes they get into questions about

68
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.560
Biden, will we'll definitely bring that
up. Here was another talk back that

69
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:14.079
we get. What I hate is
that the media is focusing on Biden when

70
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:21.240
Trump didn't say one true thing during
the debate. He did nothing but lie.

71
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:28.439
And people are up in arms over
Biden having a bad night. What

72
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.120
about Trump having a bad life and
all the lives he affected? Kids in

73
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.360
cages? Come on, kids in
cages, proving that that has happened for

74
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.160
a very long time and it wasn't
just under Trump. But I will say

75
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:47.680
this about that and the discussion about
the fitness, the mental fitness of anyone

76
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.279
to be president. If we're having
conversations about whether or not Joe Biden can

77
00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.439
run for president, it seems to
me like there should also be a question

78
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.480
of is he is he fit to
be the president? And I don't know

79
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:10.279
if there's a world where he resigned, he takes himself out of candidacy for

80
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.199
the presidency, right, he does. He's not going to run anymore,

81
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.120
but he will finish out his term. Is is there a world where that

82
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.399
exists? Or is it if he's
going to resign as the candidate step down

83
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.519
as the candidate? Is the next
step for him to resign the presidency and

84
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.800
hand it over to the vice president
because of questions about his mental fitness?

85
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.839
Right? I mean, it's well, if you're going to continue with your

86
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.439
campaign and you're going to continue to
do this and then George Stephanoppolive's last I

87
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.839
just butchered his last name because I'm
talking too quickly, George Stepanopolis. Of

88
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.759
what happens if you don't win in
January, Well, let's just say,

89
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.600
let's just say that the polls right
now are wrong. And if you're looking

90
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.800
at the polls that Biden's looking at, you know, whatever those are,

91
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.480
that he pulls this off for more
years, what does that look like for

92
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:08.800
him? And that that's why I
think the conversation is people are being unseerious

93
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.319
when they talk about everything's fine,
Okay, you may not you may not

94
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.240
believe that it's as bad as it
is, or you may not believe it's

95
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.160
as bad as some people do.
But you can't just say everything's fine.

96
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.519
It was one bad night. It
was the reasons that even Joe Biden has

97
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.319
given for the bad night, jet
lag when his last trip was two weeks

98
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:38.639
prior to that, a cold,
the sleepy whatever, whatever reasons he's given,

99
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.199
those are not excuses. And the
only response I would have to her

100
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.360
in terms of, you know why
people aren't saying anything about Donald Trump.

101
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.959
Donald Trump is not the president.
I mean, I know he's trying to

102
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.519
be, and I know why people
want to vote against him or vote in

103
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:58.720
favor of somebody else, But Donald
Trump is not the guy right now doing

104
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.839
the job. He wants the job
again, I'm worried about the guy who's

105
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.319
doing the job right now that already
has it. And to her point,

106
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.959
I have seen that, as I
was telling you in the break, I

107
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:15.199
have seen that. Why aren't the
networks everybody in the media asking the convicted

108
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.199
felon to step out of the race, right? Yeah? And that's I

109
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.360
mean, that's fine. It just
seems like we've asked that before multiple times.

110
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.720
It's not just that, Yeah,
but the other guy. That kind

111
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:33.519
of conversation doesn't really get anywhere in
terms of getting us closer ending whatever division

112
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.799
we have, or at least reducing
the division that we have. And I

113
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.840
mentioned this earlier. Michael Moore,
longtime filmmaker, huge Democratic donor, had

114
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.320
said that what he saw at the
debate was really, really bad. The

115
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.559
problem here is that I think there's
a form of elder abuse going on here

116
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.519
where the Democratic Party and the people, the people that are part of the

117
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.360
apparatus pushing him, pushing and pushing
him to stay. And then he comes

118
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:09.600
out he says I'm staying, and
the family says I'm staying. And I

119
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.360
don't know about you, Aim.
But in spite of my criticisms of al

120
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.440
Kaza with Biden, watching the debate
a week ago was heartbreaking. The heartbreaking

121
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.200
was the word that he used.
I also think it's telling that Congressman Adam

122
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:33.120
Schiff, who was a massive proponent
of Biden, didn't come out and say

123
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.440
that outright, that you know,
you should stay in it to win it

124
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.720
sort of a thing. He's been
very selective in how he's handled this,

125
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.600
very careful, very careful, thank
you, you know, He notes that

126
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.919
the performance on the debate stage was
not great at all, and he is

127
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.799
basically saying, Joe Biden is running
against a criminal. It should not even

128
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.960
be close, and there is only
one reason why it is close, and

129
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.159
that's the president's age. I don't
know how they do it. I mean,

130
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.399
we talked earlier about those that the
four senior Democrats that have come forward

131
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.879
and asked him to stand down from
reelection, which include Jerry Nadler, Adam

132
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.759
Smith out of Washington, Mark to
Connell from here in California, and Joe

133
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.200
Morrell out of New York. That
includes on top of that, Jim Heims

134
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.879
a Connecticut, Zoe Lofgren, John
byer Rick Larson. This is not those

135
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:41.480
are tiny numbers compared to but their
loud voices, it's a growing chorus.

136
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.200
I just I'm Saturday politics. Yes, makes me sad. All right,

137
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.440
stories that we're following, we'll talk
more about tropical storm Burrels making her way

138
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.399
through Texas, knocked out power to
almost three million homes of businesses, and

139
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.600
flooding streets. With these fast rising
waters. At least two people have been

140
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.639
killed, and according to Aloraities,
both of them killed when trees fell on

141
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.039
their homes, so first responders have
been spending the day trying to rescue stranded

142
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.679
people. There's a lot of images
of people being stuck in flooded roads.

143
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.240
They're stuck in their cars. Police
in the suburb of the Houston suburb of

144
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.240
Rosenberg have been telling people to stay
off the roads. One of their high

145
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.360
water vehicles was hit by a falling
tree while returning from a rescue. One

146
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.440
thousand flights. More than a thousand
flights have been canceled at the two airports

147
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.559
there in Houston, and they're expecting
as much as eight to ten inches of

148
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.480
rain just in the Houston area.
We'll be talking with ABC's Jim Ryan,

149
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.960
who is in Dallas for a situation
report for what's going on in Dallas.

150
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:54.440
Four volunteers spent more than a year
living in a small three bedroom home in

151
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.200
the valley, not really seventeen hundred
square foot home that was three D printed

152
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.360
by NASA. Have you ever seen
this? You ever seen these? It's

153
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.240
a They put this building in a
massive warehouse in NASA. It's called the

154
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.480
Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog.
It's a series of missions that they say

155
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.120
would simulate a year long stay on
the surface of Mars, surface of Mars,

156
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:31.320
and that the four crew members who
volunteered lived in what they call Mars

157
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.120
Dune Alpha, about seventeen hundred square
foot habitat. They did simulated spacewalks,

158
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:43.080
provided information on a bunch of different
factors that physical, behavioral, health and

159
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.240
performance and everything. They grew their
own vegetables, they maintained equipment, they

160
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.080
participated in so called Mars walks.
Uh. One of the stressors that they

161
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.600
also faced was each other. Seriously, three you said more than a year?

162
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.080
Three hundred and seventy eight days.
Yeah, my goodness, twenty two

163
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:07.159
minute communication delays with Earth. Okay. So I saw this great documentary called

164
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.840
The Martian and start a guy named
Matte Damon when he was on Mars.

165
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.440
That was the craziest and most frustrating
aspect of that entire movie for me was

166
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.200
we are so used to immediate communication, and he had to figure out the

167
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.519
patients to send a message to the
people who he didn't even know if they

168
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.080
were watching what he was doing,
and he had to try to send them

169
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.279
a message, not to spoil the
movie or anything. This is the voice,

170
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.600
so release This is the voice of
the crew chief who welcomed everybody back

171
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:50.879
to the real world. The crew
for putting your previous careers on pause for

172
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.159
a year and committing yourself to research
that is going to enable our future exploration

173
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:03.720
of space. The path to Mars
is beset with challenges, and the crew

174
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:09.159
and their families have committed a year
of their lives and service to Nasatha,

175
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.240
to the country, and to humanities
exploration of space. Okay, they can

176
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.039
create a building that's supposed to be
like Mars, but they can't get a

177
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.879
microphone that works. Oh yeah,
I'm going it kind of is that the

178
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.679
twenty two minutes delay. We're just
talking about the three D printed habitat,

179
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.799
like I said, was put up
in this giant warehouse. And if you

180
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:35.720
imagine a robot that squirts out frosting, that frosting then hardens and becomes the

181
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.639
walls. So you know, it's
a large version of what you could find

182
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.720
in a home three D printer,
and it's just that the materials they use

183
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.159
are going to be that much bigger. So they put together again a seventeen

184
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.679
hundred square foot habitat that included quarters, private small rooms, a kitchen,

185
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.399
dedicated areas, for medical recreation,
fitness work and crop growth activities, as

186
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:09.919
well as technical work and two bathrooms. The first mission began June twenty fifth

187
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.480
of last year. The second one
will start sometime next year, and then

188
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.519
a third analog mission IREE, would
start in twenty twenty six. And these

189
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.240
are all with different volunteers. The
next mission, of course, what do

190
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.879
we know about there? So they
just were released and now they're back into

191
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:33.159
the wild. Yeah, as in
real life their mental health now they're all

192
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.879
crazy. Well, there were five
when they went in, and there's four

193
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.960
when they come out here. And
I'm so proud, an honor to be

194
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.720
part of this crew and project and
to be a part of a small,

195
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.600
incremental part of the work work being
done here on Earth that will one day

196
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.759
enable humans to explore and live on
Mars again. They can't find a microphone

197
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:54.519
that works, even though they spend
a year in space. Very grateful to

198
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.919
have had this incredible opportunity to live
for a year within the spirit of planetary

199
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:08.440
adventure towards an exciting future. There's
boy, you've got to find people who

200
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:15.399
are willing to stop what they're doing
for a year, and even if you

201
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.080
know, even if you're going to
like that guy said, do it in

202
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:25.799
the spirit of advancing humans knowledge of
space by you know, sort of laying

203
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.240
the groundwork and the foundational stuff that
needs to be done before we actually go

204
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:34.799
to Mars. That's a lot.
It's a lot to ask anybody. You're

205
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.080
leaving your family, you're leaving your
career, everything put on hold for a

206
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:45.000
year for this. I mean,
I applaud them. They're very is patriotic

207
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.919
the right word, but yes,
I could, Yeah, I could use

208
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.399
that. Yeah, they're great patriots
to do this. They're better than I

209
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.440
am. Do they get paid?
They must get paid. It says they

210
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:03.720
were volunteers. Now I don't know
if that means that they were unpaid volunteers

211
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.240
or they were given some sort of
a stipend or whatever. I don't know

212
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.960
that for sure. Wow. So
if you're interested twenty two twenty two minute

213
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.640
communication cap between you sending a text
message, oh goss, and your loved

214
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.920
one returning that text message you thought
you were left on read before a couple

215
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.319
stories that were following. Obviously,
President Biden has been punching back. He

216
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:33.279
sent a letter to congressional Democrats saying
that he will not drop his candidacy.

217
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.559
Despite the dismal debate performance, he
wrote a two page letter today. The

218
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.319
quote says, the question of how
to move forward has been well aired for

219
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.400
over a week now, and it's
time for it to end, and he

220
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.759
stresses that the party has one job, which is to defeat Trump. Biden's

221
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:55.079
letter was sent from his campaign to
Democratic lawmakers as they come back to DC

222
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.480
following the July fourth recess. The
Republican National Committees Platform Committee, by the

223
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:07.079
Way, is adopting a policy document
that reflects Trump's position on abortion. It

224
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:14.680
would oppose a federal abortion ban,
a federal abortion ban, and would actually

225
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.160
seed limits to the states. That's
the first time that a national abortion ban

226
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:27.720
has been taken out of the Republican's
official platform. Is this the same as

227
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:33.160
Project twenty twenty five, You know
what. I'm trying to wrap my head

228
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:40.440
around what that is. I feel
like that's more of a retribution arm.

229
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.559
I don't know if Project twenty twenty
five is specifically deals with abortion itself,

230
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.680
but I don't know for certain sure. I've been trying to find out what

231
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.000
Trump is distancing himself from that.
He says, I don't have anything to

232
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:57.759
do with it. And then French
far right leader Marin Lepine appeared to be

233
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:03.559
closer to power than ever last week
after her National Rally party triumphed in the

234
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.559
opening round of legislative elections there in
France. All of that stuff is going

235
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:17.519
up, but most importantly socks.
The socks back in our day were just

236
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.640
socks. There was no such thing
as no show socks or quarter socks,

237
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.880
or they were just socks. My
sisters had socks. You may have had

238
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.519
these. It had that little ball. Oh yeah I did. Yeah,

239
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.119
we're cute. But I don't know
why you'd wear it with a little ball

240
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.920
hanging off of it. Oh,
it's just a thing. Yeah, it's

241
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.279
just a thing, like a like
an ankle bracelet. I think a little

242
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.640
little flare. And then my sister, well, one of my sisters was

243
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.880
a cheerleader and she would wear she
would wear cheer shoes without socks, or

244
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.599
at least without visible socks. And
I always thought that looked weird, that

245
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:59.079
looked funny. So I played.
I was a cheerleader. What did we

246
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.079
I don't remember my socks, see, it's just it's non But I played

247
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.400
my big thing with socks. And
think of when I played softball, and

248
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.119
I always loved the stirrup, sure, the whole thing. I always had

249
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.079
like the full length stirrup, But
I didn't like how you didn't like the

250
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:15.960
little baby. No, I don't
like. I like the the full look,

251
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.440
but on the opposite. So I
when it comes to socks, I

252
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:26.680
am a no show, low cut
ankle sock girl, which means I'm old.

253
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.720
It's apparently I didn't. I didn't
realize this. Yeah, but it

254
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.640
says if you're wearing low cut socks, it means you're thirty plus, said

255
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:40.000
a twenty six year old software developer
and Cruise sock advocate. She told The

256
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:45.079
Wall Street Journal that they said there's
a constant push and pull between forging the

257
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:51.960
unique identity or history repeating itself.
So gen Z makes fun of our stuff,

258
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.559
even if those very styles were all
the rage way back, like we

259
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.440
did it first. Trust me.
When I saw guys start starting to peg

260
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.440
their jeans again a few years back, definitely peg, I thought that you

261
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.240
guys, we did that. We
we've done that. It wasn't the great

262
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.079
It wasn't a great fashion then,
it's not a great fashion now. But

263
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.599
well, I always had to peg
the pants Uh, here's the thing with

264
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.359
this. First of all, if
you haven't seen Gary socks they do,

265
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.759
you do get the approval I would
think from gen z Ers because you are

266
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.680
wearing these are good socks. These
are good what would you call that mid

267
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.359
mid calf Okay, probably mid calf
socks. They've got a little color on

268
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.319
them too, which is nice little
style. There. I'm wearing heels and

269
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.799
I have no socks on, but
figures. Of course, here's the thing.

270
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.559
I wear heels all the time if
I'm not running because I'm not tall.

271
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.799
So as that's why I said,
I'm like your dog, Peter,

272
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.240
I'll have the same sized legs as
your dog. I didn't mean like,

273
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.559
I just meant short, have short
legs portionately. So if I have,

274
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.720
if I were to wear, uh, you know these socks that are a

275
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.079
little taller on me, then you
wouldn't really have there wouldn't be a lot

276
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.200
of leg to show for me.
Well, it is funny. Christa Figueroa

277
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:18.200
is thirty two years old X ray
technologist. She said, I'm five to

278
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.000
two on a good day, and
I have short legs, so if I

279
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:25.519
wore cruise socks, there be no
differential. A differentiation between my thoughts and

280
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.359
my ank Krista and I'm five to
one on a good day. So there

281
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.480
you go. And then let me
say this also, if you're going to

282
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.119
work out, I don't. I
don't want all that extra material on me.

283
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.160
I don't if I run, Yes, I wear I wear Ballega Balega.

284
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.559
Is that the brand? I think
that's what it is. My absolute

285
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:48.000
favorites, and they are no show. I mean they're very how about this,

286
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.079
they're not no show, they're very
little show. Yeah, because you

287
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.240
gotta get just up enough around the
littor because you don't want to you would

288
00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:02.279
go underneath. Yeah, I'm a
Bombas girl. Bombas reports that they sell

289
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.559
forty two percent of their business.
This is the weirdest statistic, but forty

290
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:17.519
two percent of Bomba's business in April
was visible socks or forty two percent uh.

291
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.480
In fact, they said there's a
corresponding decline in no show sock fail

292
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.960
sock sales, which fell nine percent
this April compared to last year. That's

293
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.640
funny. I didn't know that Bombas
was a part of this because I genuinely

294
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.200
I love those form my running They're
so comfy and they provide just enough support,

295
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.839
and yes, I will Bombas.
I will keep the uh the No

296
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:44.200
Show socks alive or the little one
looking for a sponsorship from Bombas. That'd

297
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.079
be good. Maybe'll look go on
sale. I do realize that I will

298
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.960
ask. I'll run things by my
