7
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>high alert today. So I had this vacation planned well

8
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>before Bill decided to throw a wrench in that and

9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>take his own vacation. And so here's the deal. When

10

11
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to do mornings during the week, you don't

12
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>say no. But I had this vacation plan, so I said, well,

13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I'd be happy to do it. I have to take

14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>some dio equipment with me. So, Amy, you were talking

15
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>about the weather. Valley is supposed to be ninety degrees today.

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Something, Yeah, mid nineties.

17
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>So I actually am broadcasting this morning from northern Michigan.

18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh what's the weather like there?

19
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've got a camera here and you can't see

20
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>this on the rad I owe, but here you go, Amy,

21
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I will show you outside my window.

22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 4>Oh, ice and snow icen snow. Yeah, so it is

23
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 4>still March, so.

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>You know it is still March.

25
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

26
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>And I was supposed to put some buckets on trees

27
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 2>so I could make some maple syrup, but I didn't

28
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>do that because it was too cold and windy. I

29
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 2>woke up early, early, early this morning, which was still

30
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>last night in California, and the wind was blowing, and

31
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I'm gonna lose power and I'm going to

32
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>screw this up and I'm not gonna be able to

33
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>do the show and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

34
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's gonna be so angry with me. But fortunately power

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>held on, and so that's really great. Lots of snow,

36
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>lots of ice on the trees, and I'm super excited

37
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to be here the rest of the weekend. And I

38
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>spent watching basketball. I know Cono did too. How much

39
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>money did you have ride no one things, Conel. Of

40
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>course that's totally illegal and I would never out you

41
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>for that. How much How many brackets did you have?

42
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 6>So I had twenty two?

43
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Come on, dude, you need rehab.

44
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 5>No I don't. I had four different apps. If you

45
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 5>divide that, that's around seven brackets. No, it's around six brackets,

46
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, an app okay, and I ask him how

47
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 5>he's doing.

48
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how you doing on that? Oh?

49
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 5>And I'm in the top five hundred thousand out of

50
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 5>twenty four million for real?

51
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought you.

52
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 3>I thought all of them got busted.

53
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 5>They did, And yesterday was the final bracket got busted.

54
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 5>Zero perfect brackets out of twenty five.

55
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Nobody made it through the first weekend at a single person.

56
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 5>So that's Warren Buffett did give a million dollars to

57
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 5>any employee who got thirty out of the first thirty two?

58
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Right? Oh, is that right?

59
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 6>It's correct.

60
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good.

61
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 6>He's pretty sweet.

62
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good. I was feeling people were asking me

63
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>about my bracket and mine was busted after the first game.

64
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>So I had I had Creighton losing the first game.

65
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>They won, and so that was it for my perfect

66
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Bracket challenge. But I'm I'm eight point seven millionth h

67
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>So you're at the top five hundred thousand.

68
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, My Elite eight is there, My Final four is there.

69
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So that's what I got going for me too,

70
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>is my Elite eight is still there. And Amy's looking

71
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>at us like we're speaking French.

72
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 3>No, I get it. I just I just don't care

73
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 3>about basketball at all.

74
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I know some beautiful he's beautiful thing about this. You

75
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>don't have to because you're just you're just picking names

76
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>off of a sheet.

77
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 6>Give you because look at your heads up.

78
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, look at people like kno who's a total fan

79
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>and follows it.

80
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's got one decent bracket. He's not telling

81
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>you about the other twenty one that are total crap.

82
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>He's telling you about the one that's doing really well,

83
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>which was probably his least favorite bracket that he filled out.

84
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>When he filled that one out, Yeah, he filled that

85
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>out thinking I'm just gonna take some of the top

86
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>seeds here, I'm not gonna worry about anything. So all

87
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the other ones he was picking upsets and was but

88
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>this has been such a slow tournament that people like

89
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>me who were what they call going chalk on a

90
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of these different.

91
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 6>You know, matchups, actually doing Okay.

92
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>It's how you end up in the top eight point

93
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 2>seven million of the twenty four on ESPN, is what

94
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 2>I did. All right, handle on the news. Let's start

95
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>in Venezuela. Off we go, the first flight carrying Venezuelan immigrants.

96
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>This from CNN dot com deported from the United States

97
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>landing in Venezuela early this morning, the two governments reaching

98
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.879
<v Speaker 2>an agreement to resume repatriation flights. Nearly two hundred deportees

99
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>on the plane, specifically one hundred and ninety nine. I

100
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know why we couldn't get that other one on there,

101
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Not exactly sure. They landed just north of Caracas. And

102
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>everyone's so happy, and Venezuela is so happy, and we've

103
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>got to peace and love and goodwill toward all people.

104
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 2>It looks like world peace has finally been achieved. Done.

105
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Problems are all solved. America is now all safer, and

106
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>everyone is happy. No one is disappointed, and there will

107
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>be no more gnashing of the teeth.

108
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 6>So off we go.

109
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>The economy should be cooking now. We got rid of

110
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>the the ninety nine Venezuelan undocumented immigrants that are here,

111
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So problems are all solved.

112
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 6>Feeling good about that. Take care of America, have a

113
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 6>good one.

114
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 4>America, Okay. Staying put. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says,

115
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going anywhere. There have been more and more

116
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 4>calls for him to resign his position. Because of his

117
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 4>support for the funding bill that prevented a government shutdown.

118
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 4>He was on the Sunday shows yesterday and said, you

119
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 4>know what, I'm sticking by my decision. He said, I

120
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 4>know that there was going to be controversy, but that

121
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 4>while the Republican's funding bill was bad, a shutdown of

122
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 4>the government would be a lot worse.

123
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where Schumer is screwed here is that Schumer came

124
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 2>out to start with and said he was not going

125
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to vote for the bill, and he was telling everybody

126
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 2>about how terrible it was and what a bad, bad,

127
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>bad idea was. And two days later he flipped. And

128
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>what happened is Schumer got ahead of himself. He didn't

129
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>count the votes first, and so what he didn't realize

130
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>is that he was not going to have enough people

131
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 2>to stop the bill from being passed. He didn't have

132
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>enough people to oppose it in order to make the

133
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>filibuster stand. And so then he was suddenly looking like

134
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>he was going to be in the minority, and he

135
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 2>wanted to come out looking like a leader. So well,

136
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it passed because I said it was okay, So he

137
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>was really he put himself in a bad position, pitied

138
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>himself into a corner, and then all of a sudden

139
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.040
<v Speaker 2>he says, well, look, we had to do it. This

140
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is what leaders do. They picked the Sometimes you have

141
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to pick the lesser of two evils, and off we go.

142
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>The problem is he had just told us two days

143
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>prior that it was so bad that you couldn't possibly

144
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>vote for it because all of the children would go hungry,

145
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>and the buses would stop running, and grandma was going

146
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>to be put to sleep because her medicaid would no

147
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>longer be accepted, and if you're on Social Security, you

148
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>might as well start begging for money. Now, go paint

149
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 2>yourself a nice sign so you can sit by the

150
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 2>freeway exits. And then two days later he was but

151
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I voted for it, So he did this to himself

152
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>and the Democrats right now we are in total disarray. And

153
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>that's because they don't have leadership, and even the leaders

154
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know what they're doing. They are not doing a

155
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>very good job of communicating. There's just no conversation going on,

156
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 2>and they're putting themselves in a bad spot and it's

157
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna be tough to recoup from this. What the Democrats,

158
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>some of the Democrats are saying, well, why don't we

159
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 2>just keep giving Trump enough rope and he'll hang himself,

160
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>which could be the case. You know, he likes to

161
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>make bold, He does things that are unpopular. He does

162
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>things that in a vacuum people like to talk about.

163
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>People like to scream about things like shutting down the

164
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education when they're in the primaries. But when

165
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>the rubber meets the road, to use a cliche, suddenly

166
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>people go, wait a minute. I didn't think that people

167
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 2>were gonna lose their jobs. Oh wait a minute. I

168
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't think we'd be canning one hundred thousand people. I

169
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't think this would affect the unemployment. I didn't think

170
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>he was going to cut the stuff that I cared about.

171
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 2>And now all of a sudden, we go, oh, well,

172
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what it looks like. And so the Democrats are going, well,

173
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>hopefully he screws things up fast so we can win

174
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 2>an election during the mid terms. They better figure out

175
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 2>a message quick, because either you're going to oppose him

176
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>or you're gonna let him have enough rope. And I

177
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>think what some of the Democrats are fearing is if

178
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 2>we keep giving him rope, he might become popular. There

179
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 2>might be some people that really like him. And some

180
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>of the numbers coming out right now are showing that

181
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 2>he is gaining support in certain demographics that the Democrats

182
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 2>have traditionally held, like the Hispanic demographic. He's doing very

183
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.600
<v Speaker 2>well in Hispanic demographic right now. And they're terrified of that.

184
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 2>They're terrified. They're pooping themselves. There's poop, got democratic poop

185
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>all over the place. To Canada and the Great White North,

186
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 2>we go the Prime Minister there, the new guy.

187
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 6>You know his name, No, you haven't learned it yet.

188
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 6>Mark Carney is his name.

189
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>And he used to be a banker, not like a

190
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>bank teller, but an actual banker, which means that he

191
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 2>was taking your money, I guess. And he has now

192
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 2>called for the dissolution of parliament, he said, and I'm quoting.

193
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I've just requested that the Governor General dissolve Parliament and

194
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>call an election for April twenty eighth. She has agreed. Now,

195
00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 2>the Governor General is a representative of King Charles the Third,

196
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>which evidently Canada still has to ask King Charles if

197
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>it's okay since they're part of the British Commonwealth. It's messy.

198
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Right after asking permission from Britain if it was okay.

199
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Carney said, we are facing the most significant crisis of

200
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>our lifetimes because President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his

201
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>threats to our sovereignty. Again, threats to our sovereignty, and

202
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 2>he's able to say that after he gets permission from

203
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>King Charles to be able to say that. So that's

204
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 2>really nice, that's sovereign. I'm asking Canadians for a strong,

205
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 2>positive mandate to deal with President Trump, adding that the

206
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Republican wants to break us, so America can own us.

207
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 2>We will not let that happen.

208
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 6>What do you suppose the odds are that?

209
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he says he's not gonna meet Trump until

210
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Trump recognizes Canadian sovereignty, which got me thinking his Trump

211
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>not recognized that Canada is its own nation. And a point,

212
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>does Trump just start referring to Canada as the fifty

213
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>first state. He keeps saying it should be the fifty

214
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>first state. At what point does he just say Canada

215
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 2>is the fifty first state. Say it enough times people

216
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>will start to believe you. Right. So maybe at some

217
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 2>point we just absorb Canada without even asking the rest

218
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of the world just starts acknowledging that, yeah, you're part

219
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. I could see it happening. I

220
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>got nothing else, Amy King, It's off to you.

221
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 4>The two sides are talking, but the two sides aren't talking.

222
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 6>Here's what I need both of them.

223
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 4>A US delegation led by Steve Whitkoff is talking with

224
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 4>Kremlin negotiators in Riod, Saudi Arabia today. The meeting today

225
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 4>comes after talks between a US team and Ukraine's defense minister.

226
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 4>They had meetings yesterday. But while everybody's talking, Russia and

227
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Ukraine aren't actually talking. And while that all goes on,

228
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>the war rages on. Lots and lots of drone strikes

229
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 4>over the weekend.

230
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I saw that, yeah, lots of drone strikes. If we

231
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>can break this down, So what you have here is

232
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 2>you've got the United States is talking with Ukrainians, and

233
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 2>then the United States is talking with Russians, but those

234
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 2>two are not talking with one another. This is if

235
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you've ever been through a divorce and you're trying to

236
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>figure out custody matters, This is not uncommon. She's in

237
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>one room, he's in the other room, and then you've

238
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 2>got this mediator that goes back and forth between them

239
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>because the two can't stand to look at each other anymore.

240
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 2>They just if they see each other then they're gonna

241
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 2>But so they after the negotiating in separate rooms, and

242
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 2>then eventually the mediator will say, well, she says you

243
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 2>can have this, and then he'll go back and say,

244
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>well he says you can have this, and then hopefully

245
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>they sign an agreement and off they go. That's kind

246
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>of what's happening here. I know my example is a

247
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>bit reductive, but it's the best I got.

248
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 6>Right now, it's Monday.

249
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>You know. I mentioned earlier that the Democratic Party is confused.

250
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Nancy Pelosi privately offering some advice for Hakim Jeffries as

251
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats are devolving into bitter infighting over a government

252
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>funding bill. She told Jeffries, use your power. They had

253
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>an hour long sit down at his office earlier this month,

254
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>says the Jeffery's needs to flex his muscle with Chuck

255
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Schumer and sharpen the party's strategy with a shutdown looming.

256
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 2>That according to a person briefed on their conversation, obviously

257
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>they did not sharpen anything. They dulled after a week

258
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>back home, where the Democrats took an earful from their voters.

259
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.799
<v Speaker 2>They demanded that the Democrats hold a tougher line with

260
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>President Trump. Jeffries is facing new pressure to forego his

261
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 2>cautious demeanor and then lead a charge against the White

262
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>House and then take the reins of his party strategy

263
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>from Schumer. I don't know how much strategy Schumer has

264
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>right now. Schumer doesn't seem to have much of a strategy.

265
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Suber can't even agree with himself day to day, So

266
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what Jefferys is going to be able

267
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>to do. I think right now the Democrats are just

268
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>generally looking for somebody that wants to step up and

269
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 2>be the leader. And right now they're all kind of

270
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 2>pointing at each other. Not it, not it? Not it? Hey?

271
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Are we going to see gas prices drop? Amy King?

272
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 6>No, Oh, we thought maybe the price of the pump

273
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 6>might come down a little bit.

274
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, so lawmakers are going to look for new funding

275
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 4>for road repairs, but I don't think it's gonna be

276
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 4>because of a decrease in the gas tax, or well

277
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.480
<v Speaker 4>they won't, so you know what, you you may be correct,

278
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 4>because here's the deal.

279
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 6>The broken clock is right twice.

280
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 3>A day, gas Tech. No, you're you're more right than me.

281
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 4>Gas tax revenues are expected to drop by like five

282
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 4>billion dollars a year by twenty thirty five because more

283
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 4>people are buying electric vehicles.

284
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.399
<v Speaker 2>That's so they're not initiative, right.

285
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, So they're not going to be paying the gas taxes,

286
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 4>which is fifty nine cents a gallon, highest in the US.

287
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 4>So they're like, oh, oh, we're going to have to

288
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 4>fix this reduction in revenue.

289
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 3>So if you still it's up in the air.

290
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Are they going to eliminate the gas tax or are

291
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 4>they going to add something new because the gas tax

292
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 4>isn't going to pay for the road repairs, that's the

293
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 4>big question, all right, Okay, so yeah, so go ahead,

294
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 4>they're going to They're going to do a road use

295
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 4>tax instead, at least that's what they're looking at.

296
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So it's kind of like a mileage tax, right, So

297
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 2>if you drive X amount of miles and then you'd

298
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 2>have to report that at the end of the year

299
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and say I drove this far and they would say, okay,

300
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 2>well you owe it's this much money. And right now,

301
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I think there's some registration fees that are going with

302
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.679
<v Speaker 2>your electric vehicles because you're not paying gas tax, and

303
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 2>so they're trying to figure out how to offset this.

304
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So in effect, what happens is everybody ends up paying

305
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the taxes, whether you drive an electric vehicle or a

306
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>gas powered vehicle. So my guess, just because I've seen

307
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 2>how government works, my guess is that they will institute

308
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the mileage tax without doing much in the way of

309
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>reducing the gas tax. That would That would be.

310
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.960
<v Speaker 4>My guess too, is because once you have a tax,

311
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 4>it's hard to get rid of it.

312
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And they might say, oh, we're gonna we're gonna eliminate

313
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 2>some of the gas tax. Like you said, fifty nine

314
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 2>cents a gallon, So I mean, maybe they drop it

315
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>by a quarter, and you know, we're still paying I

316
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know whatever fifty nine minus twenty five is, and

317
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's still thirty four and so everybody's still

318
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 2>paying thirty four cents. Might see the price of the

319
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.720
<v Speaker 2>pump coming down fifteen cents, but then everybody's gonna start

320
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.159
<v Speaker 2>paying this mileage tax as well. And then if you

321
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>are if you are in the transportation business, you are

322
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.600
<v Speaker 2>really going to be pissed because then you're paying your

323
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.799
<v Speaker 2>mileage tax, and you're paying a gas tax, and you're

324
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>looking at all the other cars out there, especially the evs,

325
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.200
<v Speaker 2>and you're saying, they're still not paying their fair share,

326
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>and we're all getting hosed on this. So while the

327
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 2>price of the p may come down a little, your

328
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Uber Eats cost is going to go up. Great.

329
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, here, why don't they put a tax on the

330
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 4>charging stations?

331
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, that's a really good question. You would

332
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 2>think that they would be able to do that, probably

333
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.319
<v Speaker 2>because we work so hard to protect the power companies

334
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and the last thing we want to do is make

335
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the power companies sad. Hate to do that. We've got

336
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.039
<v Speaker 2>to protect those power companies. They've got houses to burn down.

337
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Last thing we want to do is putting more onus

338
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 2>on them. All right, twenty three and meters. It's filed

339
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 2>for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection. So sounds like they are

340
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 2>dun they say, after a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, Well,

341
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>that is just a corporate bingo, there isn't it. After

342
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a thorough evaluation of strategic initiatives, we have determined that

343
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>a court supervised sale process is the best path forward.

344
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 2>To maximize the value of the business. Of course, the

345
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 2>value of the business is nothing. That's why they're going bankrupt.

346
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 2>The company said last year they were cutting about forty

347
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 2>percent of the workforce and they were discontinuing further development

348
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>of all their therapies as part of their restructuring, and

349
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>that did not do the trick. So the company went

350
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>public in twenty twenty one. Never made a profit. Stock

351
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.720
<v Speaker 2>shot up following the listing, briefly developing the company about

352
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 2>six billion dollars, and the primary shareholder became a billionaire

353
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>in a hurry. But now he's not a billionaire. The

354
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.319
<v Speaker 2>core product is an at home DNA testing kit that

355
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>offers quote personalized genetic insights end quote that the company

356
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.359
<v Speaker 2>says can flag potential health risks like one's likelihood of

357
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>developing Alzheimer's or certain cancers.

358
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was defined long lost relatives.

359
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 2>So you've got that too. So there are a number

360
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>of different DNA testing organizations. There's I'm trying to think

361
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 2>family Tree my Heritage twenty three. There's another one. I

362
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>can't remember. I only know this. My father in retirement

363
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 2>has become sort of a genealogical sleuth and he was

364
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 2>able to explain to me in far more detail than

365
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I ever asked for how some of this works. Now

366
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>they're able to track down and triangulate potential suspects. Remember

367
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the the was it the Golden State killer? Was that

368
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 2>the guy in Bay Area? And they got that guy

369
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>by triangulating all of his other relatives, and you got

370
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>this one. You've got this relative matches, and that relative matches,

371
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.680
<v Speaker 2>and when you do all the different maths on how

372
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 2>close the matches are, they were able to narrow it

373
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>down to two people. And then they surreptitiously got some

374
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 2>DNA samples from the guy after he discarded like a

375
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.000
<v Speaker 2>paper cup or something and tested it and then they said, yep,

376
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.359
<v Speaker 2>that's our guy. It matches the DNA that was preserved

377
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 2>from a crime scene from years and years.

378
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 6>And years ago.

379
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So the most interesting thing to me, and it's not

380
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 2>being reported in the CNN article, is what happens to

381
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.799
<v Speaker 2>all of the data, the data and or the DNA.

382
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if twenty three and MES saves

383
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>your spittle in a giant spit safe or if they

384
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>simply save your genetic results and then discard your TOUA.

385
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>So what We don't know, though, is what happens to

386
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 2>that data. So if you're somebody that took a twenty

387
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.279
<v Speaker 2>three and me test, and twenty three and me is

388
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>going out of business and they're trying to sell off

389
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the value of the company, and I'm guessing they're probably

390
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>their computers and office chairs and such, what happens to

391
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the data and what happens to your personal information that

392
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 2>is of concern for anyone that took one of these

393
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty three and me tests. So in many cases, I'm

394
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 2>going to guess that they're going to try to work

395
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.759
<v Speaker 2>with some of the other companies so that you could

396
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 2>potentially migrate your information over, hopefully for no cost. But

397
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they do with that with that,

398
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they do with the genetic material,

399
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know what they do with your DNA data,

400
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>because I would assume that they can't simply discard it.

401
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.359
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know how safe you would feel if

402
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.240
<v Speaker 2>if they told you we're just going to trash everything

403
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that you've got. I don't think you'd feel real safe

404
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 2>about that potentially being out there in the ether. When

405
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:24.319
<v Speaker 2>can talk about id THA, there's nothing more, nothing more

406
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 2>personal than your DNA. So that's a concern, says I,

407
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and I should know because I have to listen to

408
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 2>my father drone out about this for way too long.

409
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Here's the concern.

410
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 4>If you're in the Defense Department, somebody's leaking and the

411
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 4>Defense Department is not happy about it. So they have

412
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 4>decided that they are going to use light detectors. They're

413
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 4>going to have their workers submit to light detector polygraph

414
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:54.960
<v Speaker 4>tests as part of their investigation into who is releasing information.

415
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.759
<v Speaker 4>The DoD Chief of Staff Joe Casper said, the use

416
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 4>of polygraphs in the execution of this investigation will be

417
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.079
<v Speaker 4>in accordance with applicable law and policy. They will commence

418
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 4>immediately and culminate in a report to the Secretary of Defense.

419
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.519
<v Speaker 2>We are going to track them down. If you leaked,

420
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:15.440
<v Speaker 2>we are going to ask you about it, and if

421
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you lie to us, then you're gonna be busted. And

422
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 2>it's all hell is going to break loose, because as

423
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 2>we all know, these light detector tests are infallible. If

424
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 2>you take a lie detector test and it says that

425
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you were lying, then you definitely lied. And if you

426
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>take a lie detector test and it shows that you

427
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>are telling the truth, then you most certainly are telling

428
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the truth. So infallible investigation going on at the Department

429
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 2>of Defense, we're gonna track down those horrible people that

430
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.160
<v Speaker 2>are talking to media. What I would love to see

431
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 2>is an expansion of the polygraph. I'd like to see

432
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 2>this everywhere, and I mean everywhere. And I know what

433
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking, Oh, it'd be nice if the president would

434
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 2>have to take a polygraph. Yeah, sure it would. But

435
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.359
<v Speaker 2>let's go one step further and start using this in

436
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:09.079
<v Speaker 2>all different circumstances. So suppose that you have Medicare and

437
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get your bill paid and you call

438
00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Medicare and they say you're not covered. I would like

439
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.680
<v Speaker 2>for that person to take a polygraph test to find

440
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.519
<v Speaker 2>out if I'm actually not covered or if they're just

441
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>lying because they don't want to have to deal with

442
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 2>your claim or deal with you.

443
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 6>In fact, we should use this everywhere.

444
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean every aspect of government should have an ongoing

445
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>polygraph test.

446
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Imagine.

447
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Remember we put body cams on cops so that we

448
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>could monitor what they were doing and make sure that

449
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 2>if somebody filed a complain against a police officer that

450
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 2>they weren't making it up. Or if somebody filed a

451
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 2>complain against police officer, then we had evidence that said, yeah,

452
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 2>sure enough, this officer was behaving badly. What if we

453
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 2>just equipped police officers with polygraphs everywhere they go? So

454
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.119
<v Speaker 2>you say do you have any do you have any

455
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 2>weapon in the vehicle? And they go no, officer, and

456
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.079
<v Speaker 2>then a big red light would flashing. Yes they do everywhere.

457
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we should put it everywhere. I'm all for

458
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the polygraphs. These are great more polygraphs. They are infallible.

459
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>As we all know, you're probably I got bad news

460
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>for you. You're probably going to die soon in a

461
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>manner that you didn't see coming. And I know for

462
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you you probably spend a good deal

463
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>of time sitting around wondering what will be my devius. Well,

464
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 2>as we find out it's probably going to be fungus,

465
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's a real downer because you did not think

466
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you were going to die of a fungus. For those

467
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 2>of you just joining us, we are all going to die.

468
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 2>New cases of a drug resistant dangerous fungus identified in

469
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:58.680
<v Speaker 2>two state hospital systems the Canada, Not Canada, Candida, orris

470
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Or see or us. Thank goodness, we shortened that identified

471
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>almost ten years ago. Now we're finding it in Georgia

472
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and in Florida. So the CDC has called this Candida

473
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>orius and urgent anti microbial resistant threat. It is resistant

474
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>to anti fungal drugs, making it hard to treat an

475
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>infection once it occurs. And if you get infected with

476
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 2>this passage pathogen, excuse me, there is no treatment that

477
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we can give to help you combat it. You're on

478
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 2>your own. According to a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics

479
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 2>at the University of South Carolina. So if you get this,

480
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it is going to be a bad deal. How do

481
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.119
<v Speaker 2>you get it? They say you can get it with

482
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 2>a catheter, and that is the last place that you

483
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>want a fungus to infect you. You can get it

484
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>through breathing tubes, feeding tubes, and pick lines. Those are

485
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 2>at the highest risk levels because the pathogen can enter

486
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the body through those types of devices. And once you

487
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 2>get it, it is hard to figure out what's going

488
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.839
<v Speaker 2>on because the symptoms that are like any other infection.

489
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You get fever and chills, and and it also stays

490
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 2>on surfaces, countertops, bedrails, door knobs, and it sticks around

491
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 2>for ever.

492
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.839
<v Speaker 6>So uh, it's no fundsies.

493
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:25.240
<v Speaker 4>And the last of us comes to real Life's.

494
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Not about that?

495
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I love that.

496
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Well.

497
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Season two is coming up, and that's the one.

498
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 2>With Pedro Pascal, right, yeah, that's I'd watch him.

499
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 4>The Fungus invites invades everybody in the altar onto zombies.

500
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, great, I could see that.

501
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 6>We're already at zombie stage there.

502
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 4>All right, what's in a name a lot? If you're

503
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 4>an eaglet in a nest overlooking Big Bear Lake, As

504
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 4>you've heard us talking about Jackie and Shadowed, the Bald

505
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Eagles had three eaglets. Two of them have survived so

506
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 4>far to the point where the Friends of Big Bear

507
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 4>Valley say it's time to name them. So they open

508
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 4>their naming contest and they're just asking that if you

509
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.480
<v Speaker 4>would like to suggest a name, you make a small donation.

510
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.400
<v Speaker 4>So for five bucks you can suggest one name, for

511
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.920
<v Speaker 4>ten you can suggest three, and for twenty five dollars

512
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 4>you can suggest ten names. Friends of Big Bear Valley

513
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 4>is nonprofit and they're the ones who have that camera

514
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:25.440
<v Speaker 4>up one hundred and forty feet up in a tree

515
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 4>so we can watch the little Eglitz as they grow

516
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.279
<v Speaker 4>and watch Jackie in Shadow, and then after they get

517
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 4>all the suggestions, then they randomly pick the finalists, and

518
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 4>elementary school kids in Big Bear get to make the

519
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:41.000
<v Speaker 4>final decision.

520
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Well that's fun.

521
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 6>I know.

522
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that it's random. I don't believe that

523
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:47.920
<v Speaker 2>they're randomly choosing the finalists.

524
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I mean, you're gonna pick it out of a hat.

525
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>What if you end up with the C word MACF

526
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>word face, Right, they're not going to hand that to

527
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of elementary kids like.

528
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.599
<v Speaker 3>They're going to suggest Seaward McGuff word face.

529
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 6>It would only cost me five dollars, I might all right.

530
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.960
<v Speaker 4>We're rooting for Rocky, at least for the little one.

531
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Why why do you like Rocky?

532
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 4>Well, because there were three eggs. Two hatched right kind

533
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 4>of back to back, and then the third one didn't

534
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 4>hatch for almost a week because it was late almost

535
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.160
<v Speaker 4>a week later, so it was right on schedule.

536
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 3>But he was a lot smaller than the other ones.

537
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 4>And we said he's going to have to be a

538
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.640
<v Speaker 4>fighter if he's going to make it, and and editor

539
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:35.119
<v Speaker 4>Carla said we should name him Rocky.

540
00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's I think that's great. Yeah, the one

541
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.880
<v Speaker 2>that died though, I guess they did name that one.

542
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Speaker 3>They did.

543
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:46.039
<v Speaker 4>They they named it Misty after former friends of Big

544
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 4>Bear Valley Kathy mister Lee, who passed away from cancer,

545
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 4>so they commemoratively named the one that didn't make it.

546
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sound insensitive. In fact, I'm trying

547
00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:58.359
<v Speaker 2>to do exactly the opposite.

548
00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, go for it.

549
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Why would you named the dead bird after her? I mean,

550
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you want to do one of the living birds

551
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 2>after heard so that her memory lives on symbolically?

552
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 3>Got a point.

553
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>It was weird to me. It feels strange, one of

554
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the odds we end up with Birdie mcbird face.

555
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 4>Then zero to none. But if you want to do

556
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:24.640
<v Speaker 4>it it spriends of Big Bear Valley. He it's their

557
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 4>website and it's through Friday.

558
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Eagle Mick pecker Face. It's a bird's You don't have

559
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:36.680
<v Speaker 2>to dump that cono. That's fine. You can leave that.

560
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:37.319
<v Speaker 2>That's fine.

561
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 6>I was talking about the beak.

562
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 2>It's fine. What do we do it? Oh, let's go

563
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>to the Bay Area. Ah, it's a nice place to visit,

564
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

565
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 6>Golden Gate safety nets are reducing suicide deaths.

566
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's good. Newly installed safety nets on the Golden

567
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Gate Bridge reducing suicides there by seventy three percent. So

568
00:29:57.640 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 2>if you try to jump off the bridge, you landed

569
00:29:59.359 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a net.

570
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 3>Now have people jumping gone down?

571
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I think so because there's a net in the way.

572
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Officials say there have been an average of thirty confirmed

573
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 2>suicide deaths per year for the last twenty years, and

574
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:13.680
<v Speaker 2>they put they put in this stainless steel barrier on

575
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.839
<v Speaker 2>both sides of the bridge. They did have a pushback

576
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 2>from people who were opposing modifying the bridge's Art deco style.

577
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>It was doing some work in San Francisco when they

578
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 2>were arguing about this, and this was one of those

579
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 2>deals where I get that it's iconic, I get that

580
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 2>it's really nice, but you got people jumping off of

581
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it all the time. There's an easy way to fix it.

582
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You put in this net and they go, yeah, but

583
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be ugly. Yeah, but thirty people a year

584
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.039
<v Speaker 2>jumping off of it, and they go, yeah, but we

585
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>really like the way it looks, which just seemed really

586
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 2>bizarre to me. So anyway, they took a look and

587
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>everything's better. Now, before the installation, there were two and

588
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a half suicide deaths per month at the bridge. Now

589
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>it has dropped to one point eight three sides per

590
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.039
<v Speaker 2>month during the installation period and points sixty seven suicides

591
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.519
<v Speaker 2>per month after installation. I'm guessing that's an average and

592
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily that just two thirds of one's body died.

593
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>So researchers finding this big reduction after they put the

594
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 2>nets in. So that's great. And if you have ever

595
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.200
<v Speaker 2>talked with someone that has tried to take their own lives,

596
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 2>once they are saved, they they oftentimes they don't do

597
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it again.

598
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 6>The people that really want to.

599
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.519
<v Speaker 2>So if they are landing in this and by the way,

600
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:36.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not like it's a big cushy circus net, You're

601
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 2>not bouncing in and out of this thing. It's a

602
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 2>big steel, you know, barrier that is not comfortable. So

603
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 2>if you jump off of it and you land on

604
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.240
<v Speaker 2>this barrier, it's it's gonna hurt. So the other thing

605
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>with people who are trying to take their own lives,

606
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 2>they don't really want to suffer. The whole point is

607
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 2>to end suffering. They want to they want to just

608
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:03.200
<v Speaker 2>go quickly. So that's yeah. If you can't go quickly,

609
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 2>then you find somewhere else to do it. And if

610
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>if the bridge isn't available, it's it's deterring people. So

611
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm a big fan of this. I always thought

612
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 2>the argument because it's a nice bridge, it looks so nice.

613
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 6>It's I thought that.

614
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Was a silly argument. When we take a look at

615
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 2>what matters, Amy, you want to you want to do

616
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>one more and we want to get you to news.

617
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.119
<v Speaker 4>A shift is in the works. FBI Director Cash Btel

618
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.599
<v Speaker 4>also serves as the acting director of the ATF, the

619
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.359
<v Speaker 4>Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Yeah, he has a

620
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 4>plan to move as many as one thousand ATF agents

621
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:41.160
<v Speaker 4>over to the FBI, cutting the current ATF agents by

622
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 4>more than a third. So apparently they're not losing their jobs,

623
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.000
<v Speaker 4>they're shifting their jobs.

624
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, have we overstaffed the ATF? Is that the thinking here?

625
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 2>We just there's too many people investigating alcohol and tobaccos

626
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and firearms and explosives, so we'll just send them over

627
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the FBI. Do they have to be retrained? We don't

628
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 2>know what their jobs are. We just know that they're

629
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 2>shifting from one department over to the other one.

630
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Well, the ATF is going to temporarily assign about

631
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and fifty agents from field offices to other

632
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.519
<v Speaker 4>ATF field offices. It does not really clear, but they

633
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 4>there's some of them would be moved over to help

634
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.519
<v Speaker 4>with border patrol.

635
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:26.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh there you go. All right.

636
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I wondered where we were going with it. So that

637
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 2>makes sense now, okay, so it's serving the larger goal

638
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.680
<v Speaker 2>then the border patrolling. I'm telling you we're not gonna

639
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.319
<v Speaker 2>have anybody here without documents in the not so distant future.

640
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 6>And then what are we gonna complain about?

641
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Because if the economy isn't fixed, if jobs are still

642
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:51.440
<v Speaker 2>not available, and you don't have migrants to blame, who

643
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna blame? Throughout history, we've been able to

644
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>blame ferners for anything that's gone wrong. But if we

645
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 2>don't have ferners, who are we going to blame? God?

646
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I have to do the unthinkable and take responsibility for ourselves,

647
