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 --> 00:00:13.599 on the iHeartRadio app. Justin Timberlake suffers mortifying wardrobe malfunction 4 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:14.800 at Nashville concert. 5 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.079 He was wearing a rigging to get hoisted up into 6 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.960 the air, which can cause accentuation of areas that don't 7 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:24.039 need to be accentuated. 8 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.160 It's like a dance belt. 9 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:27.640 Yeah, that's exactly. 10 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.159 The doll Jones industrial average back into positive territory today 11 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.039 after nine straight days of negative finishes, which means that's 12 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.280 the first time in forty six years that they went 13 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.560 nine days and went negative every days. It's dropped significantly 14 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.280 in the last few minutes because the Feds did cut 15 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.359 rates by a quarter point. So as of right now, 16 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.600 it's barely hanging on to positive territory. It's only up 17 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.320 twenty nine points right now. 18 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.840 News this morning at the House excuse me, House Ethics Committees, 19 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.079 he gretly voted to release Matt Gates's ethics report. John 20 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.519 Decker joins us now from the White House Press Corps 21 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.400 about all of the latest and so they voted on this, 22 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.560 John long time ago. 23 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.799 We're just hearing about it now. 24 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.799 Yeah, that's right. This was a secret vote. It was 25 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.599 taken a few weeks ago. We're now just hearing about 26 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.599 the fact that before this Congress breaks for their recess, 27 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.439 before they break for the Christmas holiday, they will release 28 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.680 this report about Matt Gates. This ethics report is based 29 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:40.560 upon over a year's investigation into Mat Gates. Various allegations 30 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:49.920 regarding illicit drug use, regarding sexual abuse, regarding campaign finance violations, 31 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.319 all of that will come out. We don't know specifically 32 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.519 what's contained in this ethics report, but Matt Gates obviously 33 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.239 fears for what's contained in it because he put out 34 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.359 a pretty nasty message on social media within the past 35 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.079 few hours. 36 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.960 The Justice Department did its own investigation into these allegations, 37 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.360 and they came back without any federal charges. What's the 38 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.879 difference between what the Justice Department is capable of doing 39 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.639 and what congressional investigators are capable of doing. 40 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.560 Well, keep in mind that a member of Congress has 41 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.719 to abide by House rules. If they're a member of 42 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.680 the Senate, they need to abide by Senate rules. On 43 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.719 Matt Gates may have violated House rules if he indeed 44 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.520 was accused of any of these violations by various witnesses 45 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.520 who testified behind closed doors before the House Ethics Committee. 46 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.240 This is a bipartisan committee, and in fact, the reason 47 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.879 that this report is being made public is because two 48 00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.280 House Republicans essentially reverse course, decided, you know what, we 49 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.560 want to release this House Ethics report regarding Matt Gates. 50 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.159 And they reversed the position that they held just a 51 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.879 few weeks ago when there was a vote along party 52 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.960 lines not to release this ethics report. 53 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.360 It seemed like people did not want this getting out 54 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.039 because it is not a Congress full of people who 55 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.560 live who walk the line. Shall we say that everyone's 56 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.560 got their own issues in the closet and that if 57 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.439 all of the dirty laundry is aired about Matt Gates, 58 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.879 well who's to say it won't be aired about the 59 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:35.400 next guy. 60 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.000 Well, that's what the Ethics Committee is for. So if 61 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.680 there's an ethical violation on the part of a member 62 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:48.879 of Congress and ethics investigation could potentially be started and 63 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:54.080 commenced against that individual. You're right, people in glasshouses shouldn't 64 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.840 throw stones. That's something that we all try to live 65 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.000 our lives by. The House is a different story entirely, 66 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.039 and Matt Gates did not make many friends in the 67 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.639 House of Representatives. He of course brought down a former 68 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.199 Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, and there's still bad 69 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.360 blood that exists in the House of Representatives for that 70 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.839 action that he took over one year ago. 71 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.000 What's the future for Matt Gates outside of the TV 72 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.560 show that I think he's going to be doing. 73 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.000 Does he sit on some sort of cardboard? 74 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.360 Yeah, no, I don't think of board. I think that 75 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:35.360 he has signed up to join a very prominent lobbying 76 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.000 firm here in Washington, d C. So not only will 77 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.240 be he hosting a program on the One American News network, 78 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.319 he will also be pulling in a revenue stream associated 79 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.600 with that lobbying firm. And you know, look, he still 80 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.279 has very good connections in the House of Representative and 81 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.759 that's something that he can take advantage of. But as 82 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.600 far as a political career is concerned, I think it's 83 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.279 very unlikely. Certainly in the near term, anybody can repair 84 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.360 their reputation, and everybody in America generally gets a second chance, 85 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.160 and certainly Matt Gates may get that second chance. But 86 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.480 right now, a political future is not in the offing 87 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.879 for Matt Gates. 88 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.800 And then quickly, I know that you had a chance 89 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.639 to ask President Biden about the drone situation in the Northeast. 90 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.199 What was his response, Well, it was the first response 91 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.639 that President Biden has given regarding these drone sightings in 92 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.759 New Jersey, other states in the Northeast. 93 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.439 First time he's responded to a question. I asked him 94 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.160 a question last evening as he was leaving the White 95 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.639 House to board Marine one and bottom line headline here 96 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.879 he says, nothing the farious here, there's nothing that should 97 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.240 concern Americans in regards to national security or anything of 98 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.759 that sort. And you know, he's sort of repeating the 99 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.199 line that's been given by a lot of other US 100 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.480 government officials over the course of the past week, since 101 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.519 those dr own sightings really increased in late November. 102 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.040 Yeah, it certainly feels like hysteria at this point, but 103 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.399 I guess we'll just wait and see. 104 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.240 John, Thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate your time. 105 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.360 Absolutely, thank you, Bye bye. 106 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.480 iHeart reporter there in Washington, d C. 107 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.040 The Federal Reserve is lowering rates for a third time 108 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.959 this year. It is cutting interest rates by a quarter 109 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.720 of a percentage point. This brings the FEDS benchmarks short 110 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.920 term rate to a range of four and a quarter 111 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.600 percent to four and a half percent. They say they 112 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.959 anticipate this not being the case next year, that we 113 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.279 will not see that there will be fewer reductions next year. 114 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.879 The all important speech by Jerome Palace. What comes next 115 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.199 when he gets into details about the meeting? Ooh sexy, woof, 116 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.680 it's almost my god, Janet Yellen style. 117 00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.160 Just put a fan on me and. 118 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.000 U fan on. 119 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:05.759 Congressional leaders. 120 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.759 Also, yesterday I talked about this bipartisan deal to punt 121 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.879 the government shutdown deadline into March. Because we go from 122 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.399 hot Jerome Powell talk to hot Continuing Resolution talk. 123 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.800 Republicans still fighting about all of this. 124 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.279 But this bill, called the Continuing Resolution, extends federal funding 125 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.720 until March fourteenth, includes one hundred and ten plus billion 126 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.959 for disaster relief as a couple of local priorities. Clears 127 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.040 the way for the DC the District of Columbia to 128 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.079 take over some land so it can negotiate with the 129 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.519 Washington commanders for a possible NFL stadium. Also commit to 130 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.839 the federal government to pay the full cost to rebuild 131 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.560 the Francis Scott key Bridge there in Baltimore. After that, 132 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.480 after the cargo ship ran into it and just destroyed 133 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:51.839 that thing. 134 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.639 Would you like your Jeopardy question bodies of water for 135 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:05.680 a thousand?

So I mean they 150 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.440 lost one Soto, so they do need a good outfielder 151 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.080 and he can do that. You can play first base 152 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.279 if he needs to as well, So good good for 153 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.080 the Yankees. Why would I say something? 154 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:03.519 I don't know? 155 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.360 It's it's it's the Jesus season and you're being charitable. 156 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.399 I am being charitable. 157 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.759 Oh, by the way, about Jesus we're going to talk 158 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.879 about Jesus models being needed. 159 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:16.960 You Tom, you mentioned your brother. 160 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:17.759 I mentioned my. 161 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.440 Brother was Jesus in the Christmas play Spit and Image 162 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.840 because he was a teenager and he'd gone through the 163 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:25.960 gross spurt and he was really thin and he could 164 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.159 see his ribs and everything. It's perfect. Jesus on the 165 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.519 cross guy. And my mom texted me and said that 166 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.600 was Easter Service where Andy was carrying the cross. 167 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.879 Jesus was a baby at Christmas. 168 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:39.159 L O L. Yeah. 169 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.360 She makes a very good point. 170 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.600 Why would Jesus be. 171 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:43.840 On the cross at Christmas? 172 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.399 Right? That would be confusing the holidays. 173 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.559 But I mean I could see the I could see 174 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.159 the usefulness of an adult Jesus at Christmas sure to help, 175 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:55.639 you know, describe the story. 176 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.120 And yeah, I mean where he started in the manger, 177 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.080 where he ended up. 178 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:00.919 Up where he is now? 179 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.679 Yeah? 180 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:06.000 Right, So yeah, but that's kind of not what Christmas 181 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.279 is about. It's celebrating the birth of Christ. You don't 182 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.120 want to deal with the cross and the whole bit 183 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:11.559 on Christmas. 184 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:11.879 Not that. 185 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.039 Yeah, it doesn't end well, I mean it ends well eventually, yes, 186 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.279 it ends well. It's a hard good Friday was not great, No, 187 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.960 we'll say that. And why is it called that because 188 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.840 it ports that's right, that's. 189 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.679 Right, because he died for our sins on Good Friday. 190 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.639 It was good for us. 191 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:29.559 It was good for us. 192 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:30.120 It was good for us. 193 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.320 An excellent point. Probably uncomfortable for him. 194 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.919 Also, I mentioned maybe you becoming an elk, and you 195 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.639 said that it's it's not done at this point in 196 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.120 your life. 197 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.919 Petros is an elk. 198 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.320 That makes yes. Now that makes also perfect sense. 199 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.159 Yeah, it does, doesn't it. He's probably like the Lord 200 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.240 of the elks, the Lord. I could see him being 201 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.320 like the guy. 202 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.399 There are a couple of college football games today. 203 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.879 The bowl games continue. 204 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.399 The last night was the Scooter's Caffie Frisco Bowl. Tonight 205 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.679 is the book of ratone Bowl between Rostern Kentucky and 206 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.240 James Madison and then the Art of Sport LA Bowl 207 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.759 at so far between cal and UNLV. 208 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.039 Why is UNLV involved with our bowl? Our California Bowl? 209 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.039 I don't know who they choose for those bowls. 210 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.600 Obviously they take up they pick a team from California. 211 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.559 But speaking of sports and politics, former NFL running back 212 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.519 herschel Walker has been selected by President elect Trump to 213 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.399 serve as the ambassador. 214 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.039 To the Bahamas. Tough job. 215 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.600 Sixty two year old Herschel Walker, former US Senate candidate 216 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.519 from Georgia, if you remember, he lost to Rafael Warnock 217 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.039 a couple of years ago, despite Trump's endorsement there. 218 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.600 Donald Trump is all up in Canada all over again. 219 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.159 Early today, he suggested turning Canada into part of the 220 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.519 US called a great idea, he said on his Truth 221 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.440 social platform. No one can answer why we subsidize Canada 222 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.679 to the tune of over one hundred thousand dollars. 223 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.000 A year one hundred thousand dollars. 224 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.759 Use me a million, one hundred million dollars a year, 225 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.960 he wrote, makes no sense. Many Canadians want Canada to 226 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.039 become the fifty first state. They would save massively on 227 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.919 taxes and military protection. I think it's a great idea, 228 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.480 fifty first state. Exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. 229 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:24.519 Is this one of those things where he's trying to 230 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.000 be funny. 231 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.120 He's been talking about Canada all week. On Monday he 232 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.679 talked about the finance minister resigning. 233 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:36.320 Well, and Justin Trudeau is very likely seeing the waning 234 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.759 days of his premiership. 235 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.480 One of the reasons is because Trump has been threatening 236 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.879 to impose that twenty five percent tariff on Canadian goods. 237 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.200 And he and the Financial Minister completely disagreed on what 238 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.679 to do about it. Right, she wanted to, She wants to, 239 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.240 you know, double double finger it down right there at 240 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.919 the double finger it. Yeah, I mean double flipoff, double burns. 241 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:05.559 Hey. 242 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.799 The Supreme Court is in Washington, d C. 243 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.679 And today they've agreed to hear arguments that a law 244 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.879 that would effectively ban TikTok if its parent company doesn't 245 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.679 sell the social media app would violate the free speech 246 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.799 protections in the Constitution. So the Supreme Court has scheduled 247 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.480 oral arguments in this case for January tenth, that is, 248 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.480 just nine days before the law is supposed to take effect. 249 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:37.200 Congress passed the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act the FACA 250 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.120 due to concerns that TikTok's Chinese ownership was presenting a 251 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.360 national security risk. 252 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:43.600 So the Court of. 253 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.480 Appeals for DC upheld the law on December sixth. That 254 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.639 said the DOJ had offered persuasive evidence demonstrating the divestment 255 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.360 is narrowly tailored to protect national security, and the Supreme 256 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.120 Court said today it's going to hear challenges to the 257 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.919 law filed jointly by TikTok and by byte Dance, as 258 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.080 well as. 259 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.159 A group of users of TikTok. 260 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.720 Now, when this came down, remember we talked to a 261 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.240 business owner who said that if it wasn't for TikTok, 262 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.799 she would not have a business right because of the 263 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.320 incredible advertising platform. 264 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.879 You've got a pivot, don't you. You've got a pivot? 265 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.000 Well, yeah, I mean you pivoted to get on to TikTok. 266 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.000 Right, you're creative enough to do that. 267 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.240 You could probably sure hopefully, I mean option right. 268 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.799 New polling shows Republicans hold an overwhelmingly positive view of 269 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.080 RFK Junior, most approve of Trump's decision to put Kennedy 270 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:45.639 in the incoming administration. Recent pulling from the AP also 271 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.799 shows that Americans overall are less positive about Kennedy. There 272 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.480 is not broad support for some of his stands, which 273 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.960 include closer scrutiny of vaccine recommendations, additives and foods and 274 00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.200 pharmaceutical drugs. 275 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.200 Where what's the source for that? Because I found something 276 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.320 interesting that you just said. 277 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.279 The AP Nork Center for Public Affairs Research and AP 278 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.440 vote casts. 279 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.960 Okay, Because usually when he's written up. He's written up 280 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:16.600 as an anti vaccine crusider or an anti vaccine conspiracy theorist. 281 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.759 He's also a Trump pick, so that comes with its 282 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.120 own bias. 283 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.200 But they said specifically there The line was that he 284 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.960 wants closer scrutiny for vaccines. Yeah, not that he's an 285 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:34.320 anti vaccine conspiracy theorist. He wants closer scrutiny for vaccine, 286 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.159 which is which is a delineation that a lot of 287 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:38.519 news agencies don't make about it. 288 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.600 How much of the hate is about that and how 289 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.320 much of it is don't touch my food and don't 290 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.919 touch my pharmaceutical drugs. 291 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.200 Well, he's those. 292 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.679 Are very touchy subjects in this country. 293 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.919 We are addicted to pills and bad food. 294 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.399 One of the questions is when you talk about chronic 295 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.960 disease in Americans specifically, would you rather talk about lowering 296 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.679 the cost of drugs to deal with it or asking 297 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.080 people to change their lifestyles to deal with it. There's 298 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.200 a and I mean to your point, people don't want 299 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.639 to change their lifestyles. People don't want to They don't 300 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.320 want to be the weird person at the table who 301 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.840 won't eat farm raised or you know, corporate farm raised 302 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.799 foods or whatever however you want to put it, whatever term, 303 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.679 but he sounds like he's the guy who wants to 304 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.120 put a little bit of that, at least plant the 305 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.000 seed in your head that you're going to take some 306 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.559 responsibility for your own health. 307 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:40.799 Speaking of healthy, Speaking of healthy. 308 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.320 Justin Worsham, host of The Bad Dad, The Bad Part 309 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.679 Dad Part Bad Dad Pod, Well, isn't the song you 310 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.679 play for him called bad Daddy? 311 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.159 Yes? 312 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.960 Now, I think that's what was in my mind. 313 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.840 It's a bad bad daddy, Justin Warsham, when we that's 314 00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.639 a dad that takes the kids to the bar and 315 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.399 then except the woman's pregnant again at the end of the. 316 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.839 At the end of the song, we never get there. 317 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.119 We don't, we don't. 318 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.039 I don't want to impose another kid on him if 319 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.759 he doesn't want one. 320 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.039 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI 321 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.400 AM six forty. 322 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.359 Completely manufactured bord angry boredom.
