Raymond, we spoke earlier in this week, just just. 12 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:41.759 Right after the Pope had passed. 13 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.280 Any surprises that you've seen this week, I know that 14 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.119 you know they've had to extend hours, They've They've talked 15 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.719 about this sort of pomp and circumstance. Even as downplayed 16 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.119 as Francis wanted his funeral, We're still going to see 17 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.000 pretty ceremonial things tomorrow. 18 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.880 Oh yeah, there certain protocols that remain in place. But 19 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.599 you know, I remember reading his autobiography and in it 20 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.079 he said that he wanted to be buried not like 21 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.640 a man of great power, but as any normal Christian. Well, 22 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.519 the challenge there is, of course, he's not any normal Christian. 23 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.319 He is he's to Catholics, the vicar of Christ and 24 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.239 the successor of Saint Peter. And I think, you know, 25 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.560 this is where Pope Francis's personal preferences sometimes overwhelmed the 26 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.519 office that he even occupied, because you know, he forsook 27 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.480 a lot of the Vestmans. He didn't like, you know, 28 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:39.680 certain parts of the protocol of being pope. And you know, 29 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.719 I knew his two predecessors, and truth be told, Carol 30 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.280 Boy Tabor, John Paul the second. He was also a 31 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.319 kind of humble guy that didn't like all the ceremony 32 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.959 and the pump, but he absorbed it and accepted it 33 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.519 as part of the office that he was assuming and 34 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.040 would you know, continue on. But he did it in 35 00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.719 the kind of rugged way, so you can do it 36 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.879 style that's more grounded and not like some lordly emperor. 37 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.000 And I think Pope Francis was uncomfortable in the world 38 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.800 really throughout his entire pontificate, and that's where you saw 39 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.439 him sort of break protocol, go out to people and 40 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.080 try to do things his own way. Here, you're kind 41 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.080 of in depth. You're sort of caught at the end 42 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.479 because the formality of the office and the vaticant does 43 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.599 overwhelm you. Even though they say this is a simplified event, 44 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.520 and it will be in some ways, but to the 45 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.439 general public they may not see it that way. 46 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.560 Now, the vow of poverty is a keystone to this 47 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.919 way of life, is lifestyle. I think an ostentatious pope 48 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.080 would not go over well, anything close to an ostentatious pope. 49 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.599 But yes, you do all the pomp and circumstance for 50 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.639 the title. Now, and when it comes to the conclave, Raymond, 51 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.919 there is a convicted cardinal who wants a vote, and 52 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.120 there's some controversy surrounding this cardinal who does have an 53 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.879 apartment at the bat as his appeal makes its way 54 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:02.719 through the process. 55 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.840 Well, here's again. This is a cardinal. Beshu is his name. 56 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.639 He was the number two at the Secretary of State. Okay, 57 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.400 so the number two diplomatic official for the pope and 58 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.479 a very close friend to Pope Francis. The truth is 59 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.159 po Francis shielded him from a lot of this investigation 60 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.120 for many years. Finally, after public outcry. I mean, they 61 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.680 spent ten million dollars on some apartment complex in London 62 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.560 and lost everything. And Beshu was at the heart of that. 63 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.800 Pope Francis shielded him, took away he was convicted, by 64 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.879 the way, he's convicted of all kinds of larceny, you know, 65 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:44.520 stealing funds. The Pope took away his cardinal designation. But 66 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.439 then in twenty twenty three, and again this is the 67 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.960 Pope kind of doing things his own way for his pals. 68 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.479 He led Beshu into a gathering of cardinals, a Senate 69 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.960 of cardinals. He invited him back in. He said it 70 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.759 was a merciful gesture. Well, now Beishu is using that 71 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.639 gesture and saying, wait a minute, guys, the Pope let 72 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.080 me into the last gathering. I wont into this one. 73 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.800 The truth is he's convicted, you know, in the eyes 74 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.560 of a Vatican he's a convicted felon essentially, and his 75 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.520 cardinalational designation has been stripped. And he said, if you 76 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.040 read the formal document which I saw today, of all 77 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.759 the lists of the cardinals in attendance, he's listed as 78 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.600 a non voter. So I don't know how much success 79 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.319 he's going to have trying to muscle his way in, 80 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.920 particularly now that his protector and friends is is deceased. 81 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.240 A lot of fictional accounts of what happens in conclave 82 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.959 have been, you know, have been out there for in 83 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.759 culture for a long time. Is it as political as 84 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.879 it is portrayed. Are these cardinals doing the jockeying behind 85 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.079 the scenes ahead of conclave or is that strictly kept 86 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.680 to behind closed doors in those meetings? 87 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.480 Well, you know, well there are rules governing, you know, 88 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.680 like you can't make a deal, for instance, to be 89 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.120 a pope. You can't. You can't promise people things. That's 90 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.000 that's an excommunicable incident. So if you are and I 91 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.079 are going to conclaim and say, look, guys, vote for 92 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.879 me and I'll make sure you get venice, and you're 93 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.720 gonna end up with malan, I mean, that's not that's forbidden, 94 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.399 So it should not happen. It cannot happen. The politics 95 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.480 that goes on is really a kind of meet and 96 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.240 greet the conclave. The business of the conclave happens right 97 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.120 after the funeral once the pope, this pope is later 98 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.439 to rest. They're nine days of what they call public mourning. Okay. 99 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.199 In those nine days, the cardinals are meeting each day. 100 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.160 Then they go to dinners and small events all over Rome, 101 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.360 and it's really there where they size each other up. 102 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.120 They see who who are you hearing? Who are you 103 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.839 looking at? Who should I consider? And they're meeting and 104 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.720 greeting people. It's a little bit like when you you 105 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.560 know what, like uh, you know, Pam Boondi's nominated as 106 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.439 an attorney general Jess to go visit all the senatorial 107 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.519 offices before her hearing. That's sort of what this period is. 108 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.040 It's just much more informal and laid back. There are 109 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.839 people advocating for certain candidates, but it's not the hard 110 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.399 knumble politics because there's nothing to be gained really. And 111 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.319 there's an old saying any man that goes into the 112 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560 conclave of pope comes out a cardinal, and you know 113 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.839 that's and that math kind of holds. The most ambitious 114 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.279 among them usually get weeded out pretty fast. It's I know, look, 115 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.680 the last three popes, none of them really wanted the job, 116 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.360 not none of them. And it was a surprise, I think, 117 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:33.399 to all three of them. 118 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:34.279 Why is that? 119 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.920 Well, I mean, you got to go because if one well, 120 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.759 I'll tell you exactly what I knew John Paul the 121 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.800 Second and Benedict personally. I had lunches with them, dinners 122 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.759 with him, Benedict before he was a pope and after. 123 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.800 And in his case, he wanted to retire. He'd served 124 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.600 thirty years John Paul the Second as his doctrinal officer, 125 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.399 he had done his time. He had bought a house 126 00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.920 with his brother. They were going to retire back to German. 127 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.639 He was going to play piano and write books at theology. 128 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.399 Then yeah, he goes and he had a pet cat 129 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.639 in the countryside what's not below. So he had his 130 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.680 plan set. He goes to John Pole's funeral, he goes 131 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.199 into the conclave and they elect him pope. He was 132 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.480 very reluctant to take the job, and I think that's 133 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.480 part of also why he retired, because he felt the 134 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.800 weight of that and the age of it. I think 135 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.759 that was a big mistake, by the way, for Benedett 136 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.959 to retire. It was it was folly on his part. 137 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.879 As Jean Paul the Second ones told me, a father 138 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.360 never leaves the family. 139 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.920 Yeah, that didn't go over well. 140 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.639 No, it didn't go over well. And it led I 141 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.759 think to bad adds so. But he was a holy 142 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.360 and good man. But I think that was definitely a misfire. 143 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.439 But that's just a case. And John Paul was the same. 144 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.199 He thought he'd go back to poland continue his work there. 145 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:51.720 But he was a mystake, you know, he's much more 146 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.920 mystical than the others. So when when it befell him, 147 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.759 he absorbed it and said, well, this is God's will, 148 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.399 this is what I'll do, and embraced it. But it's 149 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.920 a heavy cross. I mean, imagine you're now responsible for 150 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.480 a billion souls and if you really believe what the 151 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:10.000 church teaches and not what the Conclave movie preaches, uh, 152 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.360 there's hell to pay for making the wrong decision. And 153 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.399 uh you know there's a real weight there. There's a 154 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.399 real weight there and a judgment that awaits you, particularly 155 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:20.360 as a pope. 156 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.160 Well, we'd love to check back in with you, Raymond 157 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.040 as we get closer to Conclave. And then, of course 158 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.959 while it's going on, great stuff. 159 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.519 I'm gonna do every day, We're going to do updates 160 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.240 on a Royal Grande show on YouTube.

We'll 175 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.799 talk about what's going on with Pete Hegseeth, among other things. 176 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.440 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 177 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:21.559 AM six forty. 178 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.679 Now it's time for butt, which. 179 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.919 Means I'm a titian, a liar, and when I'm not 180 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.120 kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipop. 181 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:31.399 Here. 182 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.879 We got the real problem is that our leaders are done. 183 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.200 The other side never quits. 184 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.080 So what I'm not going anywhere? 185 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.200 So that now you train the. 186 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.759 Swat, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened 187 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.039 by what has been You know, Americans have always been 188 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.480 gone at president. 189 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:49.759 They're not stupid. 190 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.679 A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 191 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.399 Have the people voting for you with not swamp watch. 192 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:56.440 They're all counting on. 193 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.639 You know. 194 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:02.159 The President says he stands behind Defense Secretary Pete haig Seth, 195 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.759 But yet all of these headlines suggests that there's a 196 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.080 shadow campaign to get rid of him, because all you're 197 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.000 seeing about Pete hag Seth is a department, a pentagon 198 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.120 in chaos, in turmoil. You're seeing that he had this 199 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.480 dirty line connected to his signal app on his personal computer, 200 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.960 that he wanted polygraphs and the Justice Department, all these 201 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.919 negative headlines that you would think could be buried if 202 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.120 he really did have the support of everybody. 203 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:40.480 Joe Casper is the now departed Secretary of Defense chief 204 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.480 of staff. The latest twist in all of this the 205 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.639 role of They say that he's leaving it voluntarily and 206 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.759 he would become a part time special government employee with 207 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.200 a focus on science, technology, and industry. 208 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.879 It's bad when your chief of staff cuts ties. 209 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.559 Yeah, it is bad when Trump's White House chief of 210 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.200 staff cut ties. How many times he had four or 211 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.440 five of them, I think during the first term. In 212 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.600 this case, he's going to be like I said, that 213 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:15.399 special government employee, and that's the same designation that Elon 214 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.960 Musk currently has that he may work up to one 215 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.799 hundred and thirty days as a government employee in any 216 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:25.559 one year period. Joe Casper again has been discussing this 217 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.159 move for weeks. This is not a surprise. Pete Hegseth 218 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.360 appeared to allude to the possibility in an interview he 219 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.120 did earlier this week, said that he is a great 220 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.720 American and was certainly not not fired. But this is 221 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:45.879 on top of the signal app chats, on top of 222 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.120 the supposed yelling at the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 223 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:55.360 that Pete Eggseth reportedly yelled at Admiral Christopher Grady. I'll 224 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:59.039 hook you up to an effing polygraph trying to figure 225 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.120 out this. Of course, is the investigation into who leaked 226 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.399 information about Pete Hegseth's meeting with Elon Musk from several 227 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:11.840 weeks ago. So the noise has not quieted down to 228 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.639 your point, even if he's got a vote of confidence 229 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:15.279 from the President. 230 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.879 I've been waiting for the Democrats to grow some sort 231 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:22.159 of teeth, for the party to wake up and get 232 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.039 its head out of the sand, because it doesn't want 233 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.240 to pay attention to Trump and go after this thing. 234 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:29.960 Act like you want it right. 235 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.279 I mean, you thought that after he beat Hillary in 236 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.480 twenty sixteen that there would be kind of a soul 237 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.440 searching of the Democratic Party. 238 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:39.960 What do we need to do? 239 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.480 And they would have come to the conclusion less wokeness, 240 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:50.039 fewer gender, bathroom discussions, more helping working Americans who are struggling, 241 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.080 the people who turned out for the Republican ticket in 242 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.360 twenty sixteen, all the communities that felt forgotten by the 243 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.919 Democratic elite on both coasts. How do we change the 244 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.039 thinking about the Democratic Party. What do we do about 245 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.720 the Hispanic vote? How do we get that back? All 246 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.799 these really realistic questions that just didn't seem to get answered, 247 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.360 just seemed a party of the weak stream. 248 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.159 Well. 249 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.840 Alissa Slotkin, who is a former CIA analyst. She's now 250 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.720 a Senator in a battleground state. She won her seat 251 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.159 last year in a state that Trump, that Trump carried 252 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.399 by the way, defeating her Republican challenger. It's given her 253 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:32.360 some cachet among Democratic Party leaders, operatives, donors, and activists, 254 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:37.440 and she has begun road testing what she calls a 255 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.159 war plan to contain and defeat Donald Trump. She gave 256 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.399 a first of a series of speeches about the Democratics 257 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.320 Party's Democratic Party's path out of the wilderness. She's from Michigan, 258 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.440 if I did not mention it, and she says the 259 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.759 weak and woke party needs to change. She's urging Democrats 260 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.919 to effing retake the flag with appeals to voter sense 261 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.480 of patriotism, to adopt the ged alpha energy of Detroit 262 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.279 Lions coach Dan Campbell, and to embrace an airing out 263 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.879 of potential twenty twenty eight presidential candidates in a broadly 264 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:17.240 contested primary, fight for it show who wants it? 265 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.639 Let people fight it out. I love this for them. 266 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.399 Well, it's interesting to me that this relative unknown, at 267 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.039 least on the national scene, is the one who's coming 268 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.840 forward with a very loud voice in a platform right. 269 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.240 Now because she can right, she can break things. You know, 270 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.080 Gavin Newsom can't break things because he's got to make 271 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.320 headway in the primary. 272 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.240 Yeah, And if she doesn't have any plans of leaving 273 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.200 the Senate anytime soon. She's guaranteed her spot for the 274 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.759 next few years. Yeah, but think about the names that 275 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.399 have been making a lot of headlines lately. Have been 276 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:58.080 garnering headlines include Alexandria Cassio Cortes because she's been traveling 277 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.440 around with Bernie Sanders. She has a new, slickly produced 278 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.600 video that people are saying is probably sort of a 279 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:09.440 soft entry into the twenty twenty eight presidential race. Corey Booker. 280 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.039 Corey Booker gave a record breaking speech on the floor 281 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.399 of the Senate that did nothing. There was no outside 282 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.799 of the fact that he broke a record. Nobody talked 283 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.360 about Corey Booker in the three days after that. It's 284 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:30.399 interesting that she's also going after Democrats are hoping that 285 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.559 they can secure a court victory in the Kilmar Abrego case, 286 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.360 Abrego Garcia case. This is the Maryland guy deported to 287 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.360 El salvador I. Just to me, that case is not 288 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.840 the one. 289 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.200 I would not want to pay my hat on that. Guys. 290 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.080 We said it last week. 291 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.080 Okay, so the best the best thing that happens for 292 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.759 Democrats is that the Supreme Court slaps the wrist of 293 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.919 the Trump administration forces them to make a deal with 294 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.399 El Salvador to get this guy back into Maryland. And 295 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.480 then what he goes before an immigration court and has 296 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.919 whatever immigration holds on him taken away, but they turn 297 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.960 around and to port him again. 298 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.440 Let me ask you, this a family that's struggling to 299 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.639 feed the kids. Do they give a crap about this 300 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.600 guy in this case and what it means and precedent. 301 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.879 No, they care about making ends meet. 302 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.759 This is again the I'm a politician and I'm focusing 303 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.480 on things that don't matter to everyday Americans. 304 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.679 You know, she. 305 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.799 Does plan to deliver another speech next month. It's set 306 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.960 to focus on killing sacred cows. She said, I love 307 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.440 this quote. I don't think we need to hide the 308 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.320 fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us 309 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:50.000 look twelve different ways at the same time. But again, 310 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.399 I come from the national security background. There's no end 311 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.559 of fighting unless you're dead. Interesting, well, I guess she's 312 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.159 going to be one. Apparently we got to keep our 313 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:00.759 eyes on just to watch. 314 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:07.119 Let's talk about my age at which it all goes south? 315 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.359 How did this make it into the show? The age? 316 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.200 And when it all goes south? Do you think I 317 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.319 want to go into the weekend thinking about. 318 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.359 That, smoking, booze, lack of exercise. There's an age when 319 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.880 those three things start to trigger the downfall of you. 320 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.000 Oh yeah, I've passed that. 321 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.279 That was like so many years ago. 322 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.680 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 323 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.799 AM six forty. 324 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.720 It was an interview with Time magazine that Trump said 325 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.960 she had called him to talk about trade. Said he 326 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.920 did not think it was a sign of weakness. China says, no, 327 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.960 that that did not happen. In no world did that happen. 328 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.200 In the meantime, Trump says trade deals with other nations 329 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.279 are about three to four weeks away. 330 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.079 There is a company that has announced plans to create 331 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:59.880 dinosaur leather. Tell me More. It does a collaboration between 332 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:05.799 the organoid company and Lab Grown Leather Limited and a 333 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.880 creative agency VML, and they say that this leather is 334 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.559 going to be developed in a lab in the UK 335 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:19.119 by using DNA from a Tyrannosaurus rex. They will, once 336 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.720 they've made sure that it looks genetically similar to that 337 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.160 of a t rex, they'll incorporate it into their own 338 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.640 lab grown leather cells and grow it, producing a dense 339 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.119 network of collagen similar to the middle layer of skin. 340 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.160 Which will then become what is that? What is a 341 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.240 t rex leather collage? What is that? You don't remember 342 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.680 what that is? 343 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.640 We could put some t rex collagen in your skin, 344 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.079 but they're talking about handbags and shoes and all kinds 345 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.839 of stuff like that. 346 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.759 Interesting with t rex leather, which would be great. 347 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.319 Speaking of lack of collagen, when does it all go south? 348 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.480 You have found science it tells us. 349 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.160 So scientists tracked the health of hundreds of kids born 350 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:08.119 in nineteen fifty nine, specifically tracked them until they were 351 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:14.160 sixty one years old, and looked at how consistently people 352 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.759 smoked or drank, or smoked and drank or smoked and 353 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.079 dranked and sat around lazy for a long time and 354 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.880 didn't exercise very much. 355 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.200 When does it catch up with you? Is that the question? 356 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:28.599 Basically, I would say it would be in all honesty, 357 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.720 when you start noticing all of your choices in your 358 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.680 body and on your face. 359 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.279 I'd say it would be like mid thirties, because I. 360 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.240 Remember thinking or reading something years ago that a woman 361 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.559 is most beautiful at age thirty four, because you're center prime, 362 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.160 you're out of your twenties, you kind of figure it out. 363 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.000 You're comfortable in your skin, you're happy because you've gotten 364 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.200 some sort of security in terms of career and family 365 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.279 and all of that. And so I would assume it's 366 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.759 somewhere at like right after there, like thirty five, thirty six, 367 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.599 thirty six. 368 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.960 They said that their health started to decline at the 369 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.640 age of thirty six, those who were consistent smokers, drinkers, 370 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.759 and lazy people. Yeah, that if they had all three 371 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.079 of those things together to show thirty six is when 372 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.519 it really started to affect the health. 373 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.119 I believe that. 374 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.759 And they said heart disease and cancer caused almost three 375 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.000 quarters of deaths worldwide. By following a healthy lifestyle, you 376 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.119 can obviously cut those risks of developing the illnesses. 377 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:28.119 They said. 378 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:32.039 Lack of exercise was particularly linked to poor physical health 379 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.319 in those smoking was mainly linked to poor mental health 380 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.359 amongst that group, Yeah, I. 381 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.160 Mean all of those. 382 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.200 An alcohol, they said, was associated with the clients in 383 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.920 both mental and physical health, and the impact was greater 384 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.519 for those who indulged in those habits over longer periods. 385 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.440 Obviously, duh. 386 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.039 The longer you do it, the longer it's going to 387 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.200 the more toll it's going to take on your life 388 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:03.440 later on. Lack of exercize causes things like organ failure, cancer, stroke, 389 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.279 heart attack, early death. Smoking can cause lung cancer, heart 390 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.599 and breathing problems. The previous research looked at how bad 391 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.599 habits affect people during middle ages, and then followed people 392 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.440 from a much younger age to work when to see 393 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.039 to work out when the rot they refer to it, 394 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.960 when that sort of sets in for your body. The 395 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.480 results are applicable to people born in the fifties and 396 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.000 early sixties, they said, but may not be as relevant 397 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.400 to younger people because lifestyles have changed significantly over the 398 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.079 last several decades. There's much more of an emphasis. I 399 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:43.640 don't ever remember my parents exercising, and I mean like 400 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.680 a workout now. They were active people. They always had 401 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:52.079
