Leave the f out what Well, 21 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.640 I wouldn't have even said that. 22 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.519 I think your wife posted the LFG yesterday. 23 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.760 Really yeah, well, but not about this. No, Okay, yeah, 24 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:23.000 that'd be crazy, right. The swamp is horrible, man, make 25 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.920 this like a reality TV show. 26 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.439 Bado always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. 27 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.640 Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a 28 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.319 swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. 29 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.159 A batch of malwarkee, he said, drained the swamp. I said, Oh, 30 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:39.879 that's so hope. 31 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.840 You know the thing, but we've got to start with it. 32 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.120 Speaker Mike Johnson is urging the House Ethics Committee to 33 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.920 not release its report on Matt Gates. Pressure is mounting 34 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:58.239 on the panel to publish its findings because uh Trump 35 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.079 has selected him to be Attorney General, and the fallout 36 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.879 has gotten louder, and it's gotten more pointed. The woman 37 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.280 who is at the center of this investigation into sex 38 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.599 trafficking allegations surrounding Gates testified to the House Ethics Committee 39 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.719 that he had sex with her when she was seventeen 40 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.199 years old. This is according to sources familiar with the 41 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:26.199 investigation who spoke with ABC News. She's now in her twenties. 42 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.439 She sat for multiple days of testimony where she testified 43 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.840 to the committee that Gates had sex with her when 44 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.080 she was a minor in high school and if you 45 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.439 missed the scathing editorial oh my gosh, one of went 46 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.520 through Trump's biggest fans published today. 47 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.719 Ben Dominic is his name, and wrote in The Transom, 48 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.919 which is his website, he said, I realize we're occasionally 49 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.960 given to hyperbole about the untoward nature of politicians, but 50 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.479 let me be clear. Matt Gates is a sex trafficking, 51 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.639 drug addicted piece of s. He is abhorrent. His eyes 52 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.039 are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. 53 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.039 In person, he smells like overexposed axe body spray and 54 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.400 stale astrogram. 55 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.400 He talked about how ninety nine percent of Republicans on 56 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.800 Capitol Hell have an opinion, and it's to keep him 57 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.080 away from their mothers, their wives, their daughters, anybody that 58 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.039 they care about. He ended it this way, after calling 59 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.960 him a walking genital. There are pools of vomit with 60 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.120 more to offer the earth than this std riddled testament 61 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.120 to the failure of fallen masculinity. 62 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.800 No punch is held now. Okay, So this is where 63 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.319 I'm not uh, this is where I don't quite understand. 64 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.639 Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, was asked about this 65 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.759 and was asked about this ethics report that the House 66 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.680 Ethics Committee has been working on and apparently has completed, 67 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.840 and like you said, had interviewed witnesses and interviewed potential 68 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.199 victims in this case and have come up with a report. 69 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.520 The vote today was to be was to decide whether 70 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.319 or not they were going to release the report. Well, 71 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.800 Matt Gates has resigned from Congress. He resigned from Congress 72 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.800 soon after Donald Trump said that he was going to 73 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.439 be nominated to be the next Attorney General. Because he's 74 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.240 no longer a member of Congress. There's no reason, I 75 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.279 mean in congressional terms, there's no reason for them to 76 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.519 release this report. And in fact, Mike Johnson had said 77 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.560 it would go against tradition to release a report for 78 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.160 somebody who's no longer a member of Congress. 79 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.480 It is not unprecedented. 80 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.439 In nineteen eighty seven, the panel released its report into 81 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.279 former Representative William Bonner out of Tennessee after he resigned 82 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.680 from the House. Oh we can say, Boner asked about 83 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.240 that instance. Johnson says it reflected precedent being broken. He said, 84 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.199 I think it would open up Pandora's box. Well, maybe 85 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.800 it should maybe you should hold yourselves to a higher 86 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.319 level of decorum and responsibility as a sitting member of Congress. 87 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.480 I looked that guy up because I have never heard 88 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.000 of William Bonner at the representative out of the Great 89 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.160 State of Tennessee, largely uncelebrated member of Congress. His largest 90 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:16.079 legislative accomplishment was a bill to recognize National Sewing Month. 91 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.600 That's what he's known for now. The investigation was a 92 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.959 close relationship that he apparently had with a government contractor 93 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.160 that is very different than the allegations of underage sex 94 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.360 trafficking and drug abuse. Not to mention all of his 95 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.879 at the very least lack of decorum instances on the 96 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.959 House floor, and this guy's being put up as the 97 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.439 potential Attorney General of the United States. 98 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:49.360 He openly bragged about crushing viagra and mixing it with 99 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.959 red Bull to last throughout the night during his sexcapades. 100 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.759 Like that was that was, like, you know, just plain 101 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.399 conversation with Matt Gates. Small talk for him was telling 102 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.639 people that he does this. That's disgusting. 103 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.319 Prove to me that this guy should be Attorney General. 104 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.240 I don't even think he should be sitting in Congress. 105 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.680 Let alone. He's not. 106 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.160 I mean, the kind of guy that he is belongs 107 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.560 on one of those lucrative soft landing spot for politicians 108 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.680 boards that we never have to hear about him again. 109 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.639 And you know, people like this guy too. 110 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:26.879 Sure. 111 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.839 That's what I said yesterday was that I don't know 112 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:35.680 if these these allegations are true, but they're believable, and 113 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.079 that says more about his character and his personal the 114 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.720 profile that he has put out there publicly. 115 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.839 Hey, Gary and Chennon. One of the things I love 116 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.000 about your show, Gary that you play the talkbacks good 117 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.079 or bad, and no other shows do that on KFI. 118 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.600 So you guys, keep up the good work. Don't let 119 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.519 people get you down. 120 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.920 Screw all the Bible thumpers up there that think they're better. 121 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.360 And everyone uh listening to your guys show for years, 122 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.160 and you guys do a good job of actually promoting 123 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.959 Christianity and religions. Happy Friday, take care. 124 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.399 I'm perfectly fine with Bible thumpers, I am. They have 125 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:13.079 a good sense. 126 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.600 Of humor, yes, And I also like to play the 127 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.319 bad stuff. Who only wants to play the good stuff? 128 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.519 Lame? Boring? 129 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.720 Hey, holier than now, Christian dude, just chill, oh, kill bro, 130 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.600 all right, I too am Christian.

So just chill, bro, Like Mike 134 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.800 Tyson says, you don't like. 135 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.240 It, turn off the station. 136 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.079 Is that what he says? 137 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.800 Oh? Yeah, somewhere there is a SoundBite of him. Okay, station, 138 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.839 that's great. Back in DC, we just got word that 139 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.560 the Trump can campaign or the Trump Transition team hows that, 140 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:08.480 has named Stephen Chung as White House Communications director for 141 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.879 the next administration. Has been a pretty constant presence at 142 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.720 the former president's side, key member of the campaign run 143 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:21.120 by Susan Wiler, Susie Wiles, and Chris Lasovita. He has 144 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.560 relied Trump has relied on Chung, a former communications professional 145 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.199 for the UFC, to send out statements that reflected his 146 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.919 boss's penchant for rhetoric like a political knife. Kept a 147 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.720 low profile. You probably wouldn't recognize him if you saw him. 148 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.919 But Stephen Chung, raised by Chinese immigrant parents here in California, 149 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.159 went to work for several Republican campaigns before he troined, 150 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.639 before he joined the UFC and worked in the communications 151 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.879 office for UFC. Also, probably the least controversial pick of 152 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.240 all in the potential upcoming cabinet is Doug Burgham. 153 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.559 Yeah, nobody has a problem with good old Doug. 154 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.840 Burgham ruptured and Achilles and was still able to stand 155 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.480 on the debate stage for ninety minutes. 156 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:14.759 He said last night, I don't know why, but even 157 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.000 even Trump knows that he tried to, you know, sprinkle 158 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.600 a little bit of excitement into this, because last night, 159 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.360 at an event at Mar a Lago, Trump said, I 160 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.240 won't tell you his name, it might be something like 161 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.159 Bergham Burgham. He's going to be announced tomorrow for a 162 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.960 big position. He's going to head the Department of Interior. 163 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.960 He's going to be a fantastic good Doug. Good Doug 164 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.919 like dog dog, but good Doug. I'm not going to 165 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.600 tell you anything about who I'm gonna nominate good Doug 166 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.320 for what I'm not going to tell you, but Department 167 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:49.919 of Interior. 168 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.879 It's funny because the headline of this article in Politico 169 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.440 is Hill Republicans rejoice over Burgham pick for inferior. Has 170 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:02.080 anybody ever rejoiced over Doug burg But like the boringness 171 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.559 of Doug Burgham is so refreshing from Trump that that's 172 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.519 what's caused for rejoicing. 173 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.120 And of the names that have been connected to the 174 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:17.360 specific appointments that they're talking about, it seems like Doug Bergham, 175 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.840 super boring North Dakota governor, is probably by far the 176 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:27.919 most qualified for his job as Department of Interior, Federal Lands, energy, 177 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.000 mineral production, gazing, recreation, all of that sort of stuff 178 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.600 seems like it would be right up his alley. So 179 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.440 the other thing that's going on is with all of 180 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.600 these cabinet picks, these potential cabinet picks, the transition team 181 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.600 has apparently bypassed some of the traditional FBI background checks. Yeah, 182 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.399 this comes back to what we were talking about at 183 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.320 the beginning, which is Matt Gates as the potential Attorney General. 184 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.600 Well, they believe that the FBI system is fraudulent, right, 185 00:10:55.919 --> 00:11:01.559 that there are issues that slow and that this is 186 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.799 going to impede the quick work of implementing the agenda. 187 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.879 The question I would have is are you willing to 188 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.159 are you willing to look at the bad things that 189 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.399 your private company would find if you have a group 190 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.639 of private investigators outside of the FBI that you say 191 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.679 are doing the background checks on potential Director of National Intelligence, 192 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:29.120 Tulci Gabbard, Pete Hegseeth as Defense Secretary, even Matt Gates 193 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.799 as Attorney General, and they do come up with something 194 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.279 that would compromise their position or would raise doubt, would 195 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.799 you be willing to listen to that? 196 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.000 I don't think so. I don't think Trump cares about 197 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.360 background checks. I don't think he would have his own 198 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.120 team investigate and vet these people. 199 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.720 He doesn't care. He's going to pick who he wants 200 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.039 to pick. 201 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.600 He's just doing it up pass be damn for loyalty, right? 202 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:57.000 Would you like your Jeopardy question weather for twelve hundred dollars? 203 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.879 According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, hail with a 204 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.960 diameter of four and a half inches is comparable in 205 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.840 size to this. 206 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:12.320 Fruit four and a half inches. Yeah, a grapefruit? 207 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:13.120 Yes, Oh. 208 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.919 Okay, I would say softball sized hail. 209 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.759 Well, that's not what the Severe Storms Laboratory says. They 210 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.039 compare it to a grapefruit. 211 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.399 That's very that's a big that's assuming that people know 212 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.919 what grapefruits. 213 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.159 Are that's true. It's probably quite antiquated. Do you think 214 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.559 more people know what a softball is? 215 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.879 It's probably a real ding dog? 216 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.000 Yeah, I agree. 217 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.559 You much of baseball? Ways? 218 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.519 I'm sorry, do you know how much a baseball ways? No, 219 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.279 it's football season. Nobody cares how much of a baseball? 220 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:45.559 Ways? How many ounces? 221 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.639 Yes? Ounces? 222 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:47.720 Six ounces? 223 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.559 I think it's between five and a half and six 224 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:50.039 and a half. 225 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.480 So I nailed it. 226 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.480 You said five regulation baseball weighs between five and five 227 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.639 point two five ounces. 228 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:02.639 Boom, nailed it. Boom. Okay, winter coming up? 229 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.159 Speaking of sports, there was like six different balls jokes 230 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.080 that I just ran through in my head and I 231 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.519 did not do any of them. 232 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.559 And I would like, you're pointing to our Jesus. 233 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:12.879 I think. 234 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.039 I think we're onto something here. 235 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.440 Just having him in the room is kind of tidying 236 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:19.720 things up inside my head. 237 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.639 I mean, not a complete overhaul. 238 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.120 Not crazy, right, I mean, he's not going to get 239 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.000 rid of He's doing some dusting. He's not going to 240 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.879 get rid of all of your sin some light dusting. 241 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.039 You're human, after all, so were you. 242 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.720 So was Jesus. 243 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:44.360 But Jesus was also God, son of God. Okay, we 244 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:52.600 need to go back through this part. God took human form, that's. 245 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.360 His See this, I think this is where we have 246 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.360 differences in Catholic versus Christian. 247 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.399 Yes, yes, yes, but there's also you also have to 248 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.720 take that leap of faith, which is there are some 249 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.000 things I can't explain. 250 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.799 But God sent his only son down to die for 251 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.399 our sins, which makes it even that much of a 252 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.159 better story. 253 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.879 The Catholics tell a pretty good story. 254 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.000 But what if it was what it means? It's that 255 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.399 the stay it's the same story. I mean, you're just 256 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.360 the background. 257 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.159 Still have to say, we're not going to have this 258 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.320 fight on a Friday, do. 259 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:35.200 You want to bet? Certainly not eating meat today. 260 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.879 You're just pissed because I knew in a. 261 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.519 Baseball way, we're trying to get a hold of rich 262 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.080 and we may we may bump him to the next 263 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:41.000 segment just in case. 264 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.519 But Tropical Storm Sarah expected to weekend before it gets 265 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.679 to Florida next week. It's slowing down, it's dealing in 266 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:54.399 Honduras right now, flooding mud slides there. Gonna head over 267 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.000 to Belize over the weekend. But they say that Sarah's 268 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.120 interaction with a cold front along with land will slow 269 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.399 it down, so it's not going to be a huge deal. 270 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.960 It's going to bring a lot of rain to Florida, 271 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.639 but it shouldn't wreak havoc. 272 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.720 Biden administration officials are working against the clock. They're trying 273 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.440 to dole out billions of dollars in grants and taking 274 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.480 other steps to try to preserve at least some of 275 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.840 Biden's legacy before Donald Trump takes office again in January. 276 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.399 In fact, one of those cabinet members, Transportation Secretary Pete Boodaget, 277 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.639 says it's the administration's responsibility to spend the funds that 278 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.360 Congress has authorized for us. His statement comes as Trump 279 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.679 has pledged to rescind unspent funds in Biden's landmark climate 280 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.360 and healthcare law and stop some of the clean energy 281 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:42.399 development projects that are on the books already. 282 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.879 We'll get into it when we talk about our wellness 283 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.120 or do you want to just do that now? 284 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.399 Okay, we'll make sure you get rich in the next segment. 285 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.440 I just want to throw this in there. 286 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.519 The nomination of RFK Junior to lead the Department of 287 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.960 Health and Human Services is getting backing from across the 288 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.919 aisle which is sometimes something it was a little bit odd. Yeah. 289 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:07.759 Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polus praised this pick, saying Kennedy 290 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.320 will face strong special interest opposition, but that he wants 291 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.759 to partner with Kennedy to truly make America healthy again. 292 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.399 That we are being crushed. This was from Trump by 293 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:24.679 the industrial food complex and drug companies who engage in deception, misinformation, 294 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:30.200 and disinformation about public health. This is this is true. 295 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.919 Former Vice President Pence is calling on senators to reject Kennedy. 296 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.600 He pointed to his position on abortion, saying that it's 297 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.840 an abrupt departure from the pro life record of our administration. 298 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.440 Should be deeply concerning. What the hell this is a 299 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.200 position on abortion? Mean anything in that regard. It sounds 300 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.480 like Pence is lining his pocket somewhere. 301 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.879 What is he doing lately? 302 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.679 I don't know. 303 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.559 I mean, after he it's a aborted sorry to use 304 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.840 that word in this term, but the aborted presidential campaign 305 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.079 that he had. I haven't seen what he's I don't 306 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.799 know where he does. He used to have a talk show. Yeah, 307 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:13.240 so all right, So this new study published in the 308 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.240 Lancet says that nearly three quarters of US adults are 309 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:22.079 overweight or obese. That compares to nineteen ninety when it 310 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.279 was just over half of adults who were overweight or obese, 311 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.559 and shows how many more people are becoming overweight or 312 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.039 obese at younger ages than in the past. And again, 313 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.240 I know that RFK Junior brings with him some baggage, 314 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.759 but this is one of the massive issues that he 315 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.039 talks about. This is where he would be at the 316 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.799 forefront when it comes to making it because it's not 317 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.920 only a health issue. It's not only that we're unhealthy 318 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.680 and that's bad for us as a as a culture. 319 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.519 It's physical health, it's mental health, it's the money, it's 320 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.839 the healthcare system. 321 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.279 It's financial it's a national security issue. If you can't 322 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:03.880 recruit soldiers, an airman and Space Force guardian, we are 323 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:09.480 in trouble Space Force. The study ARCT documented the increases 324 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.559 in the rates of overweight and obesity across ages, particularly 325 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.799 alarmed at the steep rise among children children, and. 326 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.640 That's the thing that makes me very sad. 327 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:23.160 Without aggressive intervention, Without aggressive intervention, the number of overweight 328 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.599 and obese people will continue to go up, and that 329 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:31.079 by twenty fifty we'll see two hundred and sixty million 330 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.960 people who are considered obese. 331 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.279 They're saying, we are at a crisis point in this 332 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.160 regard and it's time to turn the tide. Whether it 333 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.440 means cracking down on the tobacco industry that pivoted into 334 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.960 processed foods, whether it's an advertising situation of maybe not 335 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:53.240 advertising six value meals for one in one sitting, or 336 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.640 in this weird thing where we're just embracing and celebrating. 337 00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.400 It well, and then we're trying to medicate our way 338 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.319 out of it as opposed to dealing with those core 339 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.640 issues at the beginning of it. We're trying to medicate 340 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.279 our way out of it. We've seen that with these 341 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.920 GLP ones, right, and we've talked a lot about ozempic 342 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.720 and Wegovi and all those. There is a forty one 343 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.599 year old guy who was initially thrilled at the weight 344 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.000 loss success that he had with weygov but he had 345 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.559 to quit in April of twenty two because he couldn't 346 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.279 afford it. She sorry couldn't afford it, and she ended 347 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:31.319 up not only regaining the weight that she had lost, 348 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:36.599 but actually got heavier than when she started. That's how 349 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:38.400 weight loss works for the most part. 350 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:43.079 Unfortunately, because your body is fighting against you, you drop 351 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:47.720 a ton of weight. Keeping it off is nearly impossible 352 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.559 just because of your body chemistry. 353 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.799 And listen, you can be on one of these drugs, 354 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.960 but you've got to change habits. That's the only thing 355 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.400 that's going to make the long term change is that 356 00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.799 you've got it. 357 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.279 Where does that start? It starts in your head, right, 358 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.880 starts in I don't know. It's a whole lifestyle change. 359 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.000 I would assume. I know it's easy for me to 360 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.759 say that I have the appetite of a gnat, but 361 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.039 you know, we all have different biologies and different systems. 362 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.400 But we've gotten really far off course when it comes 363 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:25.519 to celebrating unhealthyness right and unhealthy practices. 364 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.880 And then looking at people who do try to do 365 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.480 things that are relatively healthy and point them out of. 366 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.880 That freak shaming them. 367 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.440 Why do you eat? Why do you drink? 368 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:34.480 That? 369 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.880 Is that all you're going to eat? 370 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:41.160 Yeah? And I cannot believe that this may was This 371 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.000 was the last time we talked to Rich Murata was 372 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:49.599 seven years ago. I know when the Mayweather McGregor fight, right, Rich. 373 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.759 Murata, course, our KFI longtime family member, always a family member. 374 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.640 Here a sports canter, founder of the Nevada Boxing Hall 375 00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.200 of Fame. 376 00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.240 And wait a minute, before we even get that far, 377 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:04.480 don't forget Southern California Sportscasters Hall of Fame the California 378 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.839 Boxing Hall of Fame. He's in inductees to both of those, 379 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.640 Like you said, started the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. 380 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.799 He has been honored with four Local Emmy Awards, ten 381 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.200 Golden Mics, and those two Hall of Fames. 382 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:19.880 I was going to go through that whole list. 383 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.240 I'd take all the time up for the love of God, 384 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.279 Rich good to hear you again. So this is kind 385 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.960 of cool. Mike Tyson, isn't the villain in this one? 386 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.839 Yeah? Isn't that funny? Yeah? Jake Paul is actually and 387 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:39.599 he's embracing this villain role. And you know, he's a 388 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.119 hell of a promoter. You know, as far as the 389 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.359 event is concerned itself, and it's hard to get a 390 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.960 handle on it or quantify it in some way, we 391 00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.000 just haven't seen anything like it. A thirty one year 392 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.000 age difference between these guys. So you know a lot 393 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.720 of people are wondering and I'm actually in the last 394 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:02.519 half hour, I've gotten two tech one from the woman 395 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.240 who used to produce our show in the morning on 396 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.119 bill Handle, producer Jennifer, who lives up in Seattle. Haven't 397 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.480 heard from her for a while. She's texted me asking 398 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.839 about this fight. My daughter ten minutes ago literally texted me, Dad, 399 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.440 is this just a stupid thing? Or is this for real? 400 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.799 So you know, is it a novelty act? Is it 401 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.200
