WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.160 on the iHeartRadio app. You got to know the rule 4 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.599 to break the rules. Sometimes you do not need to 5 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.839 be a rule follower. Okay, Sometimes you need to realize 6 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.920 that your common sense is there for a reason, and 7 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.039 your common sense is this cycle has gone through three times, 8 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.800 it does not turn green. Let's go ahead and go 9 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.440 with the other green traffic straight ahead when there's no 10 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.320 cars coming in the opposite direction. We should be fine, folks. 11 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:31.399 Let's let's be adults here. 12 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:33.840 Didn't work out that way. 13 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.119 It took a while, but then when the floodgates opened, 14 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.759 there was no stopping that line of cars through the red. 15 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.479 Yeah. What is the Oh? Thanks, I totually forgot my Wow. 16 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.000 You have people bringing you your wife. 17 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.799 He just brought you there. 18 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.759 This is a cut sheet. That's like part of the job, 19 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:55.920 not bringing you water. What do you handle? 20 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.320 I just my big jug in the other room. I 21 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.320 can jugs. 22 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.119 We get some ham and cheese. 23 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.319 What is the what is the allotted time for there 24 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.480 to be a red light that doesn't turn green that 25 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.480 you can finally go through. 26 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.079 I'd say one cycle of knowing. I mean, because if 27 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.640 you go this way to get to the two ten, 28 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.719 you go every morning pretty much. These aren't new people, 29 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.760 so you know when the cycle is supposed to hit green. 30 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.319 You know how it works, you know, And so I 31 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.200 think one missed green through one cycle. 32 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:31.799 Yourself, Okay, something's wrong? And uh okay, I think this 33 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.439 one three cycles. 34 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.120 And I'm a generally, I'm a rule follower, so I 35 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.280 would be the guy who would at least wait that one. 36 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:40.799 But there's a star, I'd wait the. 37 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.159 One because how do you know? Then you're just running 38 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:43.680 the red light? 39 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:45.799 Did you make it? 40 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:46.200 Are you? 41 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:47.920 Are you? Okay? I made it? Okay? 42 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.480 By hairs on my chin? 43 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.519 The irony of you wearing a red shirt while talking 44 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.640 about red lights? 45 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.439 Also, is it a lot? That's a lot? Okay? Yeah, 46 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.079 I apologiz. Have you planned that? 47 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.760 Universe planned it and you just fell prey to the 48 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.840 universe's plan? The universe is powerful, Yeah, gave you a 49 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.479 red light? What are the red things could happen today? 50 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.560 I mean outside of like speaking of China's Chinese tariffs and. 51 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.039 Stuff China, I mean, what more could you have? 52 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.479 It seems like there's a lot of things going on here. 53 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.759 Interesting, a flesh wound, I could get a flesh wound. 54 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:25.639 Why would you do that? 55 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:26.960 Bleed from it? 56 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.159 Oh my blood is red when. 57 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.080 It comes out, as opposed to blue when it stays in. 58 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.479 People said, that's not really true. It's just darker red. 59 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.879 Who cares? And why would you argue about that. 60 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.000 Dark red is blue? I know, yes, but the. 61 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.479 Idea that people will be like you guys are so lame. 62 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.360 Oh we got oh my god, we got one of those. 63 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.439 I think it was a Facebook message over the weekend 64 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.400 and it was someone who was so pissed off with us. 65 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.719 It's thing, Oh god, I don't know where it is now. 66 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.319 But I was like, sir, you don't remember what it was. 67 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:09.960 It was so silly. 68 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.879 It was so silly, and it was like, great job, guys, 69 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.719 we'd go like you said it was wonderbread when it 70 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:17.719 was really weep bread. 71 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:18.960 Good job, you idiots. 72 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.560 It's a way to go. It's really donchic. 73 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.000 It wasn't even that. I can understand somebody getting upset 74 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.240 with scrawling up a pronunciation or something like that, but 75 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.199 it was something so ridiculous and it's like, clearly it 76 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.800 was not about the milk. Well, clearly there's something going 77 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.719 on that person's life. 78 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.560 Oh, cloudy this morning, this afternoon, it's going to be 79 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.000 more cloudy. I think by late tonight is when we 80 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.039 expect to see some rain here in southern California. 81 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.400 Yesterday, when we were doing show prep, it was called 82 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.520 an atmospheric river. Today it's called a Pineapple Express. 83 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.240 I mean, if we could just get our fear click 84 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.680 bait in order and be clear about what exactly it is, 85 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:57.439 I would be great. 86 00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.360 Sometimes you can just throw everything at the wall. 87 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.360 Sometimes have to name everything. Also, this is also just rain. 88 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.319 It's February. But when they say atmospheric river or Pineapple Express, 89 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.080 you start to think, well, it's gonna be several inches 90 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:09.479 of rain. 91 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:10.520 That's not the case. 92 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.400 I mean, especially tonight's storm is you know, maybe you 93 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.240 get a half an inch of rain in downtown LA. 94 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.839 That's not a lot compared to by the way, Mount 95 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.879 tamil Pious, Yeah, had ten and a half inches. 96 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.199 Of rain over seventy two hours. 97 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.360 It's got to be beautiful. 98 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.680 That's up in northern California and Morin because they've they've 99 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.680 been getting rain for a couple of days now. They've 100 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.480 actually been doing pretty well storm wise. They have hit 101 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.839 a lot more. They're more regular when it comes to 102 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.600 the rainfall they've had so far this season compared to 103 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.160 southern California, where we've had nothing. 104 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:45.959 They haven't been to Mount Tamond forever. 105 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.040 But tonight and Thursday nights when we expect to see 106 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.120 some rain, we'll talk next hour, we'll talk about there's 107 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.360 there's more to it, because they're concerned about obviously the 108 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.079 burn scars and the potential that for mudslides and debris 109 00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.040 flow and stuff like that. 110 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.079 Before my husband and I were married, you know, he 111 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.399 likes to hike, and he also does not care about 112 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.560 hiking trails. He likes to just get out there and go. 113 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.720 Yeah, the old people did it, I mean the way 114 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.480 they did it in the old days, right, not the 115 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:12.519 old people, right. 116 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.360 But old people do that too. That's why they get 117 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.000 lost and we have silver alerts. But anyway, yeah, this 118 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.160 was now. 119 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.000 Of course I have hiking trails and maps coming out 120 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.040 my ears when I go on a hike with him. 121 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.480 But this was back when I was like, okay, whatever, 122 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.800 and I would just follow him hiking. And there was 123 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.959 a forty nine er game on that afternoon that we 124 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.319 started hiking him out tam and let's just say, we 125 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.800 just went, let's just go. I think we're the words. 126 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.199 And the hike ended up being a much longer hike 127 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.959 than one wanted because someone wanted to be home for 128 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.680 kickoff and someone was not. And fact like. 129 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.600 There's a lot of people in this story when there's 130 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.439 really only two people, right, huh. 131 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.800 Anyway, so let's just after that day, we know where 132 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.360 the trail ends, we know how long it's going to take, 133 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.639 and we don't go on Sunday. 134 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.399 The tariffs were not imposed on Canada, as we kind 135 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:14.879 of predicted yesterday during the show. 136 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.839 There was a phone call. 137 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.160 There was a discussion between Justin Trudeau and President Trump. 138 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.519 So they've paused the tariffs against Canada for another thirty days, 139 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.160 similar to what we saw with Mexico. But the ten 140 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.240 percent additional tariffs were imposed on China, where we will 141 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.800 start seeing those price increases. 142 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.800 It was probably in our drug cabinet. 143 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.079 Yeah, it looks like prescription drugs pretty much across the 144 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.120 board when it comes to generics. I had no idea 145 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.959 how many generic prescription drugs were made in China. We'll 146 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.399 tell you which drugs specifically, could you see the changes 147 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.399 in pretty much within the next couple months. I say 148 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.839 that these drug companies have contracts that expire every six 149 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.199 months or so, so it may take a couple month, 150 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.959 but you will see hike in those generic prices. RFK 151 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.720 Junior's nomination for head of the Department of the HHS 152 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.839 is heading to the Senate floor. Vote was fourteen to 153 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.240 thirteen at the Senate Committee, voting along party lines. Later today, 154 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.600 Tulci Gabbert faces a critical committee vote as well. 155 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.800 She actually got a couple of people, Todd Young I believe, 156 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.560 out of Indiana and Maine Susan Collins, have said that 157 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.560 they would vote to confirm her, So she may actually 158 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.439 get out of committee, despite everybody saying that she wouldn't. 159 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.040 What I have discussed is we'll have some good meetings 160 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:37.600 with China. We have meetings planned and we'll see what happens. 161 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.920 But that was just an opening salva. If we can't 162 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.240 make a deal with China, then the tariffs will be very, 163 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:45.160 very substantial. 164 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.839 So Beijing fought back. 165 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.920 We imposed ten percent terraffs on a bunch of different 166 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.079 ten percent additional tariffs on a bunch of different products. 167 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.000 As of midnight Eastern time, and they announced a broad 168 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.600 package of economic measures to target the UNIS United States 169 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.079 to hit back at those terriffs. 170 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.480 They say this will likely drive up the cost of 171 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:09.040 generic drugs and the US. About half of generic drugs 172 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.560 we take here in the United States, including cancer drugs, antibiotics, 173 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:19.800 blood thinners, are made entirely overseas. Obviously, manufacturing is cheaper there, 174 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.240 and even greater share of active pharmaceutical ingredients are called 175 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:29.240 APIs used in these drugs comes from abroad eighty percent 176 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.600 up to eighty percent. Now, China is obviously at the 177 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.399 forefront of making these materials. 178 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.080 How do we not look at those numbers and think 179 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.200 to ourselves. 180 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.600 We've got a problems based on our relationship currently with 181 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:45.840 China that that's not a national security issue. What happens 182 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.120 in the event that China says we're not going to 183 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.080 send any of these drugs or the precursors for these 184 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.600 drugs pharmaceuticals specifically, we're not going to send you prescription 185 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.039 drugs or the precursors for these prescription drugs anymore. 186 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:03.080 Do you have any idea Did you know that that 187 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.759 that high of a percentage of drugs I knew. 188 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.720 It was significance, okay, but until this, until this issue 189 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.679 came up about the tariffs, I didn't. 190 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.519 Realize that it was mean too. 191 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.440 I had a feeling that that's what was happening, but 192 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.679 I didn't know it was that high. That would be 193 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.879 the number one, by and large, head and shoulders above 194 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.919 anything else that would piss people off in this country. 195 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.000 If you mess with people's drugs, people's pills, holy health. 196 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.759 And I mean, yes, it's anger inducing, but also then 197 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:31.919 what happens to people's health? 198 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:32.159 Right? 199 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:37.200 I mean, if these drugs are life saving, many of 200 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.399 them are. They're not all, but many of them are 201 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.759 life saving, and we cut off that supply immediately. There's 202 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.320 no way that we can replicate that quickly. There's no 203 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.519 way you can stand up an entire pharmaceutical industry quickly 204 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.799 to keep the people healthy. 205 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.080 The only thing I can think of in terms of 206 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.840 the how does this happen? How do we let this happen? Question, 207 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.320 is that China needs us as much as we need them. 208 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.200 We need them to make the pills cheaper, They need 209 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.279 us for a variety of Financially. 210 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.480 Yeah, they have us to buy it exactly. 211 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.639 I just I feel like My wife and I have 212 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.440 this conversation all the time because we have scintillating conversations 213 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.840 like this, isn't it possible that China is just trying 214 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.399 to drug us into lethargic? 215 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.559 I had the exact same thought. The processed foods, yes, 216 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.679 the screens, the AI, the drugs, I mean, all the 217 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.480 things that make us sheep and thoughtless brainstems are coming 218 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:38.279 from China. 219 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:39.240 And the plastic. 220 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.440 Yeah, I think that's I think that's sexy conversation. 221 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:45.440 I mean plastic in the in the idea of go 222 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.720 to a go to a store and I'm not going 223 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.679 to name names, but go to a discount store where 224 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.519 you could buy things four oh slightly under a dollar 225 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.360 something like that. 226 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.159 The majority of the things. 227 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.879 That you're buying are made in China and are all 228 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.159 we're doing is then shoving it into a garage or 229 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.519 a storage facility so that the tanks come rolling off 230 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.720 of the amphibious vehicles at Oxnard and we're tripping over 231 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.440 plastic and we can't defend ourselves. 232 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.600 Well, speaking of plastics, we're going to get into it. 233 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.039 There was an article in the Washington Post that found 234 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.480 that we have at least a spoonful of plastics in 235 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:29.279 our brain. Because of how common these plastics are. I 236 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.120 don't even know why we're calling the microplastics anymore. 237 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.279 Because they're any bitty If. 238 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.039 They're a spoonful in our brain. How many spoonfuls do 239 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.000 you think you've got up there? 240 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.679 Couple couples. I had a lot of. 241 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.720 Well you've got the lead in there too, process. 242 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.639 What does that mean? 243 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.080 The lead from the paint? Yes, ah, I think there 244 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.399 was a lot of leaded paint around. I letted fuel maybe, 245 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.879 but not leaded paint when I was here. 246 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.279 Oh, come on, you don't think you've been expected. I mean, 247 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.639 do you went to public school in the eighties. We 248 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.600 were all exposed to leaded that's all it was. 249 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.440 That and't as best as floors. Oh my god, he. 250 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.960 Used to walk around, roll around on the floor, play 251 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.840 with the little fibers. 252 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.840 Oh yeah, we'd lick that lead paint right off the walls. 253 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.120 You went to a different school than I did. 254 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.720 The jokes right themselves, don't they It's almost like we 255 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.759 can't even make them because they're too easy. 256 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.720 Well, I understand the idea of a former president and 257 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:25.679 the speaking tour that would be expected, right, I mean 258 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.600 Bill Clinton has made millions of dollars. 259 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:32.600 Bill Clinton was the president in his early mid forties 260 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:38.559 and was a great speaker from go. Joe Biden's never 261 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.120 been a great speaker. It's not his thing. He's a 262 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.000 guy who reaches across the aisle. Everyone loved Joe Biden, 263 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.080 That's why he had such a long career in the Senate. 264 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.639 But being a great orador is not his situation. 265 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.240 Would heyst what if. 266 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.279 He does a whole corn pop movie, like sells the 267 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.360 rights to a corn Pops. 268 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.559 These are the jokes I was speaking of, although I 269 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.720 did not get that far in my creativity process. I'm 270 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.399 in like a corn pop like maybe Dennis Quaid's in 271 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.200 it as Joe Biden kind of made for TV Hallmark situation. 272 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.320 He plays a lot of those religious made for TV 273 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.720 movie type le okay, So I see him as maybe 274 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.279 the middle aged Joe Biden looking back at the young 275 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.639 Joe Biden. Maybe there's a pool in the valley somewhere, 276 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.480 a public pool in the valley that still has a 277 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.279 diving board, because I believe a diving board was prominent 278 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.360 in the corn Pop story. 279 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.440 Oh yeah, because he talked about he was yelling at him, Hey, there, 280 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.120 get off of that board up there. 281 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.000 You can't do that, right, I don't remember. 282 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.679 There's got to be a public pool in the valley 283 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.759 with a diving board. Yeah, and like a ledge where 284 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:51.480 he could put his legs, legs. Yeah, kids, gangs. Wasn't 285 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:52.480 corn pop in a gang. 286 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.799 I don't know if it was an organized gang, but yeah, 287 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:57.440 it was a gang. 288 00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.039 Quick fire update. 289 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.879 The donations are still coming in, but organizers of that 290 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.120 fire aid benefit concert from last Thursday night said that 291 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.759 they will probably end up raising more than one hundred million. 292 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.320 Dollars for wildfire recovery. 293 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.320 The first round of the fire a G grants should 294 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.080 be awarded by mid February, and today a banner day 295 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.759 for spaceflight. They're expecting five different rocket launches around the 296 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.759 world in the next twenty four hours. SpaceX launched a 297 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.919 batch of Starlink satellites this morning, Blue Origin that's Jeff 298 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.840 Bezos's group helps to send up an uncrewed research capsule. 299 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.440 A New Zealand space company has a rocket launch, the 300 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.399 Russians have a rocket launch, and then SpaceX rounds out 301 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.080 the day with a second launch from Kennedy Space Center 302 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.000 over in Florida. 303 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.519 Do we think do you think we could have your 304 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:53.039 wife on to break down the Baldoni Blake Lively fight, 305 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.600 because I keep seeing deep dives on it and I'm intrigued. 306 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.440 But I want the cliff notes version, Like I don't 307 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.919 want to put time and effort into reading through all 308 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.960 the things. I just want someone to hit me at 309 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:09.200 the highlights. Too much time, So just an idea, speaking 310 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:09.879 of your wife. 311 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.679 Or likely respond to your text in mine? 312 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.519 Really she gets mine. 313 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:13.919 All the time. 314 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.919 Well, maybe you shouldn't send her superfluous messages. 315 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.519 Like the word superfluous. 316 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.799 Yes, it's speaking of your wife. It's a big day 317 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.840 in the Hoffman household. Something for everybody on Capitol Hill. 318 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.360 You've got RFK and Tulsi Gabbart. 319 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.960 Here was was fourteen eyes thirteen nays. The boat was 320 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.519 fourteen thirteen. The nomination is reported. 321 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.559 Are you guys just gonna throw on c SPAN and 322 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.879 have dinner and watch that look together? 323 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.200 Candle just romantic music in the background. I don't think. 324 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:47.720 Oh wait, honey, Tulci's coming up. 325 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.120 She speaks. Yeah, So Kennedy's out of the Finance Committee. 326 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.960 It's likely that rfk's nomination to take over as HHS 327 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:02.000 Secretary goes to the full Senate next week, and it 328 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.600 was a surprise. Bill Cassidy, a doctor, this was the 329 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.159 committee member that they were most concerned about voting no. 330 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.399 And while he is a doctor and as a doctor, 331 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:23.320 apparently had some issues with the vaccine thoughts of RFK Junior. 332 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.240 He eventually decided that he was going to go with 333 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.559 RFK Junior to vote to move him out of committee 334 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.840 to the final full Senate floor. One of the reasons, potentially, 335 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.039 I don't know much about his thinking because he didn't 336 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.080 really speak much about it. 337 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:37.440 Today. 338 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:44.080 He represents a state that went for Trump by twenty 339 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.559 two points, and if Bill Cassidy's up for reelection anytime soon, 340 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.360 that's going to be something that he's going to want 341 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.759 to pay attention to. You do not go against the 342 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.919 president when the president wins by twenty two points in 343 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.720 your state. Tulsea Gabbard maybe a different issue. This was 344 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:01.879 her from her confirmation hearing last week, is. 345 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.839 Edward snowed In a trader to the United States of America. 346 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.720 As someone who has to go on in combat, I 347 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.359 understand how critical our national security. 348 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.799 Farely you don't. 349 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.920 She kept it calm, but didn't really answer the question 350 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.799 about Edward Snowe. 351 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.000 That's one of the things. 352 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.400 But the Senate Intelligence Committee is expected to vote today 353 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.759 and vote to pass her on to the floor session, 354 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.200 to the floor of the Senate for Director of National Intelligence. 355 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.400 There were two key Republicans who had come out and 356 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.839 suggested that they would in fact vote to confirm her, 357 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:47.240 Republican Senator Todd Young from Indiana and Senator Susan Collins 358 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.920 out of Maine. She's probably the more Commons. She actually 359 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.960 voted against Pete Hegseth, her Secretary of Defense. So it's 360 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.720 not a guarantee that Tulca Gabbert or even RFK Junior 361 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.200 do get confirmed, but it does make it more likely. 362 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.880 It is also possible that somebody votes to get the 363 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.680 nomination out of committee and then votes against that person 364 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.279 once they make it to the full floor of the Center, 365 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.559 so we'll see where that goes. 366 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.599 But both of those final votes are. 367 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:19.920 Expected if Gabbard is passed by the committee today. 368 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.160 The full vote is expected sometime next week. 369 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.519 A new study shows microplastics are making their way into brains, 370 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.359 which means cognitive decline. 371 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.559 Gary Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on the 372 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.720 iHeart Radio of Top of the Hour, we'll talk about 373 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.799 what we can expect when it comes to rain. Also 374 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.480 sort of a fire round. Up State Farm is now 375 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.759 complaining that those little sausage rolls. Do you see those 376 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.680 little sausage roll about the puff paste? Don't say no, 377 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.599 sweet and salty piggies in a blanket? 378 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.559 Yes, okay, those are those are on the list. 379 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.440 Are they really on the list? Don't tell me they're 380 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:53.720 on the list. 381 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.839 If they're on the list, Wow, I've had the recipe already. 382 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.279 She told me. She's the one who told me about it. 383 00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:57.920 Oh my god. 384 00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.480 Yeah, I'm really excited. 385 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.319 So we got to write that down State Farm. What 386 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:04.240 they want a high insurance rates because they have to 387 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:11.960 pay up. And then Rick Caruso is acting very responsible. 388 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:16.640 I mean, he's starting this new foundation called Steadfast LA 389 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.039 and he's doing things that the government can't do but 390 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:24.079 should do. I'll actually hear from some of his interviews 391 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.000 of the last couple of days. 392 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:31.079 Hey, guys, adults are not supposed to drink milk after 393 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:35.319 a certain point. It's not good for your digestive system. 394 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.160 But anyways, there is all kinds of different almond milks 395 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.759 and oat milks My favorite, and it's actually really healthy 396 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.279 for it is the oat and almond milk combined. We've 397 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:51.039 got good protein in there and none of these unhealthy 398 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:51.920 stuff for adults. 399 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.640 I just feel like those milks, almonds and oats and 400 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.000 coconut and all that sort of stuff, it's just a 401 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.000
