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 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:10.839 I've been to Dallas. I've never been to the site 5 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.119 of the assassination. That would be interesting. 6 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.480 You could pretend you're the third gunman on the Grassy 7 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.719 Knoll and dodge around a bit. 8 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.920 Dodge if you will. I don't know, I don't know 9 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.839 if I'm not fascinated. You're a little fascinated by crime, 10 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.560 but I'm not. I don't want to go relive it. 11 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.159 You don't have to relive it. 12 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.240 It's just kind of fascinated that you would be standing 13 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.600 in a place where things happened. 14 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.119 Well, when I was a reporter in Seattle and they 15 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.399 finally caught the Green River Killer and they got Gary Ridgeway, 16 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.280 and one of the things that they were doing was 17 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.799 they had best basically set him up in an office 18 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.600 in South Seattle and they were interviewing him, trying to 19 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.719 tie up all the loose ends, because his death toll 20 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.119 was was like many of these serial killers, probably higher 21 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.159 than what he was ever charged for. And one of 22 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.879 the things that he was doing was helping them. He 23 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.159 was trying to remember where he put the bodies. And 24 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.480 there were a couple of times when the Sheriff's Department 25 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.519 and other law enforcement agencies would take reporters out to 26 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:24.519 the scene of where they were looking, and that was 27 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.879 enough that that was not I mean, the idea that that, 28 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.319 even if it was twenty five years ago, that this 29 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.519 guy had dumped the woman's body in that area. 30 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.680 Did not sit well. 31 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:43.319 I covered the worst mass deadliest mass shooting in Orange 32 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.159 County history. It was one of my last stories as 33 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.599 a reporter before I started anchoring for John and Ken, 34 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.400 and it affected me a great deal at the time 35 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.760 and still has. And I drive by the place where 36 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.280 it happened all the time, and. 37 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.200 It's still Salon Maritime. Yes, still just. 38 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.799 As chilling, and a friend of mine recommended, and it's 39 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:13.000 exceptional a restaurant that is right next to that location 40 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.199 because it stayed that Salon has kept the name and 41 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.919 everything as a showing of strength. But there's a restaurant 42 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.879 next door and it's exceptional. I mean, it is one 43 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.000 of the best meals I've ever had. But I can't 44 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.039 go because the whole time I'm sitting there reliving reporting 45 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.800 on that In all the details and knowing exactly what 46 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.199 happened and the stories behind it, I just can't do it. 47 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.039 It makes me ill, you know. 48 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.280 And every time I drive by, I drive by, and 49 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.000 I drive by the liquor store parking lot where I 50 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.280 had to park because the whole scene was cordoned off 51 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.879 with the crime scene tape. And I remember the guy 52 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.039 who ran the liquor store running out and telling me 53 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.680 that he was going to have the car towed because 54 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.639 I wasn't allowed to park there. 55 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.319 I remember starting crying. It was like a whole thing. 56 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.080 It's just like this, this moment sealed in time. I 57 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.240 would never want to but but we have personal connections 58 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.800 to those two stories, like in terms of covering them, 59 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.639 in terms of like a Jean Breonne Ramsey thing that 60 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.680 I'm far removed in true it might have more allure, 61 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.639 I guess, but even I don't know. It's really sick 62 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.719 though too. The whole time i'd be there, I'd be 63 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.039 looking around at all the people that signed up for this, going, 64 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.240 what the hell's wrong with you? 65 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.120 Anyway? We'll get into that coming up in True Crime Tuesday. 66 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.560 It's time for Swamp one. I'm a politician, which means 67 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.719 I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not 68 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.000 kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah, we got the 69 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.719 real problem is that our leaders are done. 70 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.039 The other side never quits. 71 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.280 So what I'm not going anywhere so. 72 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.520 That you train the swap, I can imagine what can 73 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.280 be and be unburdened by what has been. 74 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.639 You know, Americans have always been going a president. But 75 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.560 they're not stupid. 76 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.479 A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 77 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.199 Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch? 78 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.639 They're all well. We mentioned that. 79 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.560 A short time ago, Carolyn Leavitt, the new Levitt, the 80 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.000 new White House Press Secretary, held her first official press 81 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.759 briefing of the second term, dominated by the pause on 82 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.399 federal grants and loans that will start this afternoon. President 83 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.600 Trump's administration says it's doing an across the board ideological 84 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.600 review of its spending, which has caused some confusion and 85 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.759 some panic among some organizations. They said this was necessary 86 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.000 to ensure that all funding does comply with the executive 87 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.160 orders intended to underdo, sorry, intended to undo a bunch 88 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.519 of steps on transgender rights, environmental justice, diversity, equity and 89 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.399 inclusion efforts. Also said that federal assistance to individuals, and 90 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.519 she kept repeating this direct federal assistance to individuals will 91 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.600 not be affected, including Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, and 92 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.879 programs like that. Although this freeze, you're talking about the 93 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.480 potential for it to be millions of dollars at least temporarily. 94 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.319 Jim Acosta is leaving CNN. This is a big deal. 95 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.879 Longtime reporter and anchor, Jim Acosta, CNN newsroom anchor. You 96 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.639 know him from going toe to toe with Trump during 97 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.199 the first administration. He was a thorn in the side 98 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.759 in that press room. And this is curious. I mean, 99 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.279 CNN did announce days ago around two hundred layoffs, predominantly 100 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.560 in TV. They're trying to revamp their digital operations. The 101 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.720 shakeup of the broadcast schedule would have replaced his ten 102 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.720 am hour with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown's Situation Room. 103 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.439 He says, after giving all of this some careful consideration 104 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.959 and weighing in an alternative timeslot that CNN offered me, 105 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.240 I've decided to move on. Was this CNN ousting Jim 106 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.560 Acosta because of his bad relationship with Trump in an 107 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.959 effort to claw back some of the people that would 108 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.639 turn their back on CNN forever in light of the 109 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:06.160 new administration, the renewed tracks administration. That's because CNN is 110 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.279 I think that's the bigger version, that's the bigger concern. 111 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.040 They've got to do something. I mean, is it maybe 112 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.680 them moving a little towards not you know, well listen 113 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.680 breaking him over the coals at every turn. 114 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.759 One of the most popular viral creators, I guess is 115 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.519 the right term or star of some of the viral 116 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.000 moments that's come from CNN lately is Scott Jennings, who 117 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.800 is a pretty conservative guy who shows up on these 118 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.240 CNN panels and those are the those are the clips 119 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.680 that exist on Twitter, you know the next morning, is 120 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.839 him saying something that that makes the more liberal people 121 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.560 on their panels upset? 122 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:50.160 Whatever? I mean? 123 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.000 So, I don't know, it's a I don't know exactly 124 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.759 what the reason is and where Jim Acosta ends up. 125 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.360 This is not a Don Lemon thing. This is not 126 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.920 a Don Lemon issue because Jimsta had a much better 127 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.319 reputation I think than did dun Lemon. California Department of 128 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.800 Water Resources says the military did not come into California 129 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.000 and turn on the water. And the reason they had 130 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.720 to say that was because lately, yesterday President Trump on 131 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.959 truth Social said, the United States military just entered the 132 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.920 great state of California and under emergency powers turned on 133 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.360 the water flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest. And beyond 134 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.600 the days of putting a fake environmental argument over, the 135 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.639 people are over enjoy the water California. California Department of 136 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.839 Water Resources had to come out and put a post 137 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.720 also on Twitter that said the military did not enter California. 138 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.759 The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were 139 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.959 offline for maintenance for three days. And again there's still 140 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.680 no valve that exists somewhere between California. 141 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.480 And the Great Pacific Northwest. Despite what the President says. 142 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.839 We talked about AI and deep seek and China's ability 143 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:04.600 to use cheaper chips computer chips to develop as just 144 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.360 as well as we have advanced AI technologies. We had 145 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:14.079 asked AI to create us a Christmas play this year, 146 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.160 just to see what would happen, and we finally kind 147 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.279 of dug into it and found what it created. 148 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.279 Because we did our own that Gary wrote. 149 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.560 But we'll get into what AI thought we should have 150 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.360 presented you in the twelve o'clock hour. 151 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.399 It's called the Christmas Wish by AI. 152 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.120 It's really it's really pretty goofy. I have to go 153 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:36.399 through and. 154 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.240 Check it south would you use Well, let's get to this, yeah, 155 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.519 side hustles. More and more people in America are getting 156 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.440 into the side hustle business. Why well, rising costs, I've 157 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.879 got to I've got the extra time, I can pick 158 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.559 up something extra. Let's just get it done and help 159 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.960 the bank account. 160 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.840 There's a bunch of different places that you could go 161 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.960 to find I mean just the websites alone.

The people who say 167 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.440 that they're going to cut down on what they things 168 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.799 that they spend way too much money on, including clothes 169 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.080 or makeup or I don't know what do you call 170 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.200 manicures and pedicures and things like that, And a side 171 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.159 hustle is a way for you to bring in more money, 172 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.000 but it doesn't change your circumstance necessarily if you're continuing 173 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:42.679 to spend. 174 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.600 Workers with more than one job hit the highest level 175 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.159 since twenty nineteen. That was last reach during the Great Recession. 176 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.919 Here are some examples. A Google contractor who sells cell 177 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.440 phones at Walmart. An English teacher who moonlights at a 178 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:02.039 baseball stadium, maybe concessions. An accountant who sells eggs and 179 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:03.639 chickens farmed off her land. 180 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.679 I would totally do that, and I would buy those two. 181 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.919 I mean, I would buy chickens, but I would buy 182 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.879 the chickens eggs. A taco bell manager picking up shifts 183 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.519 at KFC. 184 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.440 There's enough out there, and it's flexible enough depending on 185 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.480 what kind of schedule you have at your first job, 186 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.720 your primary job. Right if you work a regular nine 187 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.279 to five something like that kind of job, there are 188 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.720 opportunities for you to go out and do things in 189 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.240 the evenings or on the weekends if you want. 190 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.960 It's out there and it's available to you. 191 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.480 In some states, the percentage of workers with multiple jobs 192 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:44.279 was roughly double the national average. Those states Wisconsin, North Dakota, 193 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:50.399 and Hawaii. Now multiple job holders spoke with the Washington Post, 194 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.840 and they said that doing this came at a cost. 195 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.600 What was the cost sleep, mental health, and of course 196 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.600 time spent with their families. High school English teacher and 197 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.559 Prince George's County, Maryland says she sleeps four or five 198 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.799 hours on nights. She sells merchandise at National Parks in 199 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.919 d C. The Taco Bell manager who moonlights at KFC 200 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.799 says that when he is able to get his desired 201 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.799 hours at KFC, rarely. 202 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.240 Sees his kids. 203 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:24.679 Now. 204 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.679 Is this used to be like a fun little story 205 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.559 right the side hustle of you know, you're doing something 206 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.559 fun on the side or what have you, or something 207 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.000 you know, maybe social media, maybe you're making money off 208 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.279 social media something like that. This seems to be like 209 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.759 the cost of everything is up and people are having 210 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.679 a hard time making ends meet with their one job, 211 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.559 so they're having to find a second job. 212 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.919 Yeah, and I mean the hustle part of it. It 213 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.279 goes beyond just getting that second job. I mean your 214 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.519 point of or your example of the Taco Bell also 215 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.320 doing KFC, those are very similar jobs. 216 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.759 You're doing it in two different places. 217 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.240 If you're doing let's say you're the Taco Bell manager, 218 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:09.399 and you want to start flipping items for profit. You 219 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.919 buy low and sell high. Whatever it might be. You 220 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.360 spend time a goodwill or yard sales or a state sales, 221 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.679 or flea markets or Facebook marketplace or something like that. 222 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.440 That takes a lot of energy and effort unless you're 223 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.519 really good at finding those, you know, diamonds in the 224 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.559 rough that you could then turn around and make some 225 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.600 big money off of. You could freelance your skills, you 226 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.639 could sell spreadsheets. You could do a local service business, 227 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.879 so you could do a ride share driver thing. You 228 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:43.519 could be somebody who's in charge of vending machines, vending 229 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.879 machine resupply companies and things like that. 230 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.600 All of those could turn into larger things. 231 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.480 It's just a matter of the strain on you as 232 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.960 a human being, strain on your health, strain on your 233 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.360 family life. Hopefully not a strain on your finances, because 234 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.320 that's why you got that second gig in the first place. 235 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.399 But what else would you do? Just don't say deli 236 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.320 where I. 237 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.759 Would probably try to get a job working in the 238 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:15.879 NFL as a second gig or that is my second gig, okay. 239 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.200 But then what after that? I'm looking for your third 240 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.360 and fourth gig, keep you busy. 241 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:21.679 Hmm. 242 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.120 I don't really have any other sciritable skills. I mean, 243 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.120 I guess I could. You know, I would totally work 244 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.879 at like a Jersey Mix or Jimmy John's or any 245 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:39.480 of those places, because I do love making sandwiches. I 246 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:40.840 really have an affinity for it. 247 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.840 You're good at it. 248 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.080 I'm pretty damn good at it. 249 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.039 Yeah, that's what I hear. 250 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.799 It's very rare that I can say that about anything. 251 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.320 When we come back, we'll talk about how bosses are firing. 252 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:52.799 Gen Z. 253 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.039 Listen to gen Z.

I should say. She 266 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.720 read out a list of some of the illegal immigrants 267 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.279 who have been detained during raids. 268 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.600 This week. Some of the worst of the worst. 269 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.519 These are not people who are criminals because they came 270 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.360 here illegally. These are people who came here illegally and 271 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.120 then committed heinous crimes. 272 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.240 These are people that we've had a. 273 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.840 Way to get them out of the country just practicing 274 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.159 basic law and order, and we have shielded them from 275 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.639 being sent out of the country because I have no idea, 276 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.000 I have no idea why it can't be just feeling. 277 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.600 We're not talking about a grandmother of six. 278 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.159 We're not talking about the young couple who came here 279 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.600 to better the lives for their children. We're talking about 280 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.759 rapists and murderers and the worst of the worst who 281 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:18.000 are also here illegally but have been kept safe because. 282 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.440 They're here illegally, hiding behind others, my God, hiding behind 283 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.440 the people that do come here simply looking for a 284 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:29.480 better life. And Vidia dropped seventeen percent yesterday, of course, 285 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.799 fueled by investor concern about the Deep Seek artificial intelligence 286 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:38.000 startup out of China, and video shares tumbled seventeen percent yesterday. 287 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.759 It's the biggest drop since March of twenty twenty five 288 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.799 hundred and eighty nine billion dollars in market cap lost yesterday. 289 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:47.440 Now in Vidia has recovered a bit. 290 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.480 It's back up about seven percent as of right now. 291 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:55.320 The NASDAK in general has come back and is in 292 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.519 positive territory by about two percent. 293 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.200 Both the Dow and the S. 294 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.320 And P five hundred also up in the positive territory 295 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:03.039 so far today. 296 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.720 Well, with each new generation comes a different way of 297 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.159 interacting at work. Every generation is a little bit different 298 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.480 when it comes to what they bring to the workplace, 299 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.720 and sometimes you have to just change the way you 300 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.559 do things to accommodate for them, because in this day 301 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.360 and age, it's not it's not vice versa, is it. 302 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.080 I mean, it seems like at least a handfull of 303 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.320 years ago, we know some people in management who had 304 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.600 to go to special training to learn how to deal 305 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.600 with the kids coming out of college and how to 306 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.799 make them feel safe and seen in all of the things. Well, 307 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.399 now it seems like could the pendulum be swinging the 308 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.480 other way. Fortune magazine has an article out about bosses 309 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.919 firing gen Z grads just months after hiring them and 310 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.360 that there are several things that need to change. They 311 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.399 are cutting ties with these young workers who are not 312 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.440 up to scratch just months after they hired them. 313 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.079 Yeah, About six in ten say they have already fired 314 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.519 some of the gen Z workers that they hired just 315 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.559 out of college in just the last few months. Intelligent 316 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.920 dot com is a website dedicated to helping professionals navigate 317 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.319 the future of work young professionals, specifically, said they surveyed 318 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.960 one thousand different bosses around the country. 319 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.880 One in six bosses say they're hesitant to hire recent 320 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.240 college grads again. One in seven have admitted that they 321 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.000 may avoid hiring them altogether next year. 322 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.079 Three quarters of the company's surveyed said some or all 323 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:39.799 of their recent graduate hires were unsatisfactory in some way. 324 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.000 All right, so what's wrong with these people? What's wrong 325 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:47.279 with the young people? Well, lack of motivation or initiative. 326 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.240 That that is the reason why things didn't work out 327 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.079 with their new hire, according to fifty percent of the leaders. 328 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.279 They also point to gen Z being unprofessional organized, having 329 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.319 poor communication skills the top reasons for having to fire 330 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:04.839 these people. 331 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.880 I think poor communication skills is so key. I've told 332 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.519 this story before and I'll tell it again. When I 333 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.039 went to Chico State was making the decision and we 334 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.960 were on that tour with our parents and prospective students 335 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.480 and things like that. One of the talking points of 336 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.000 the tour was the tour guide saying, Chico State has 337 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.839 the highest percentage of people getting hired right out of graduation. 338 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.960 Why do you think it is? Do you think we're 339 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.839 the brightest minds? No? But it's a social campus. 340 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.039 It's where you learn how to talk to people and communicate, 341 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.359 and that is so key when you enter the workforce 342 00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.559 no matter what you do, being able to talk to 343 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.559 you don't have to be a social butterfly or the 344 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.039 life of the party, but just being able to communicate 345 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.960 with people and talk to people is so key in 346 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.720 moving ahead. 347 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.359 And if you're not the social butterfly, life of the 348 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.720 party person, your friend is and you deal with them, 349 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.559 or your maybe your adversary is, and you have to 350 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.000 deal with that. I mean, that is a layer that 351 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.599 is not I don't think Chico State or schools like 352 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.839 that go out of their way to promote that, but 353 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.240 that is a layer that is just it's just there. 354 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.359 It just exists. I don't on some campuses that others don't. 355 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:16.200 Think they promoted it. 356 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.519 It was just kind of the social lifestyle that that 357 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.119 campus was and this was a byproduct of learning how 358 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.200 to communicate with people and different people from different areas 359 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.680 just better. 360 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.640 The bosses say they've struggled with the gen z's tangible challenges, 361 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.480 things like being late to work, being late to meetings. 362 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.359 They're not wearing office appropriate clothing, They're using language that's 363 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:42.400 not appropriate for the workplace, not looking at you. 364 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.240 I've been good today. I haven't said anything today. 365 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.640 Now, they said. 366 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.119 More than half of hiring managers have come to the 367 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.759 conclusion that some college graduates are simply unprepared for the 368 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.200 world of work. 369 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:59.240 Twenty percent say they can't handle the workload. They say 370 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.960 colleges know that students are wholly unprepared for the workforce. 371 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:04.799 Of course they do. 372 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:10.799 It's the college campuses that have fostered this whole weird, 373 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.759 for lack of a better term, snowflake situation we find 374 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.000 ourselves in.
