That makes sense. 26 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:18.640 Yeah, there we go. 27 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.359 Thank you for the show, love it. Thank you appreciate 28 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.719 that clarification. 29 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.319 Hey, Gary and Shannon Uno Shannon, I was just wondering, 30 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.159 do you ever do things to purposely get Gary upset? 31 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.719 Because he is so much more fun when he's angry. 32 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.719 You guys have a good Christmas. 33 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.439 He is difficult to rile up. Its maddening. I'll often 34 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.040 try and pick fights just to just to see if 35 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.680 I can raise the temperature a little bit in him. 36 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.280 That's fun, it's. 37 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.719 Exercise and futility. It's hard. It's hard to make you angry. 38 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.200 That's why I laugh when I hear you on the 39 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.000 radio getting angry bent over something like the housing authority. 40 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.280 I'm like, that's what gets you. 41 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.840 Hey, Gary, I have a question for you with your 42 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.280 work wife Shannon, your real life Shannon, when they get together, 43 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.159 do they really gang up on you big time? Because 44 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.560 I can hear it just as sure as I'm sitting here. 45 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.879 It would be hilarious. You wouldn't have a fighting chance, 46 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.680 I don't think, would you. 47 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.520 I try to keep matter and anti matter apart, because. 48 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.479 Of the we had a really good time together. 49 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.560 Because of the potential of the universe folding in on itself. 50 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.240 If you only knew the texting side conversations that she 51 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.639 and I had during your show. 52 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.479 Well, she'll I don't know if you hear it. When 53 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.680 you text her, She'll pick up the phone and she'll 54 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.520 look at it and she'll go, your wife just texting me. 55 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:48.960 And I'll say, what did she say? 56 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.080 She didn't tell you, does she no? 57 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.520 But that's my point is she'd say it, and then 58 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.960 I say, well, what did she say? And she goes, 59 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.759 she didn't text you, she texted me. It's time for 60 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.400 swamp watch. 61 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:04.639 Swamp is horrible. 62 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.080 The government doesn't work. 63 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.479 Man gonna make it like a reality TV shoot A 64 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.639 bad boo. Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, 65 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:13.960 d C. 66 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.199 Hey, Joe, A town hall too clearly built on a 67 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.800 swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. 68 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.199 I have to watch a work boy said, dreamed the swamp. 69 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.919 I said, oh, that's so hell. You know the thing. Well, 70 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.120 we are watching, of course, what's going on in Washington, 71 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.680 d C. We are less than ten hours away from 72 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:40.360 a potential government shutdown, among other things. We've seen President 73 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.639 Biden criticized for having zero impact on this government shutdown talk, 74 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.560 I mean nothing. 75 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:49.639 What are you expecting from him at this time? 76 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.240 I don't know. 77 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.719 Not only is he lame duck, he's a he's got 78 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.479 about a half an hour of good time. 79 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.439 He he is not. Delaware's back in DC was planned 80 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.360 part of the trip. He is planning, I think, to 81 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.080 go to Italy or something. But the Vice President is 82 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.319 also back in DC. She was there maybe because if 83 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.360 this thing goes to the Senate and is close, then 84 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.439 she would cast a tie breaking vote. But right now, 85 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.879 there is a three pronged approach to fixing this Plan 86 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.639 C is three different bills that would go through get 87 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.399 rid of the suspension of the debt ceiling. We'll talk 88 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.319 about all of that coming up in the next segment. 89 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.279 But again, just to give you an idea, we know 90 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.399 that the government shutdown is looming. Zack Stanton put together 91 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.160 a piece in Politico that was pretty amazing to go 92 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.319 back through and look at. It's the outright worst political 93 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.000 predictions of twenty twenty four. Some of them again, and 94 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.160 these are credited too. I mean, he talks about who 95 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.240 made these predictions. John Harwood said that Joe Biden wouldn't 96 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.240 pardon Hunter. We all be part of the reason, he 97 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.079 said that is because Joe Biden himself. 98 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.360 Said, is that a prediction? When Biden himself is saying 99 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.720 I will not do this, right, that's not a prediction. 100 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.800 Kamala Harris would win the presidential election. They specifically credit 101 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.040 Rob Reiner with that one, but I mean a bunch 102 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.360 of people also did that the time. Yeah, I don't 103 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.839 know why he gets the credit for it. There are 104 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.839 millions of people who thought that that Elon Musk would 105 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.439 either lose control of Twitter or sell it. That's author 106 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.720 Scott Galloway. He said that this that Twitter or Musk 107 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.040 would dispense with the social media platform for financial reasons. 108 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.279 It has become a massive player in politics in these 109 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:41.120 last two months. 110 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.839 I mean, I think that's what squelched the bill right. 111 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.680 Well, absolutely, but also think about the impact that it 112 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.720 had on going into November fifth, the impact that each 113 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.120 one of his messages made. Scott Adams, of course, the 114 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.759 Dilbert creator, has come out as would you say a 115 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.399 conservative commentator. I don't know if I've seen a lot 116 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.519 of it, so but I mean a lot of his comments, 117 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.959 but I mean on Twitter, he's that kind of a follow. 118 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.920 He said that the twenty twenty four election would see 119 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.000 a landslide of election election rigging claims and that the 120 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.560 Supreme Court would have to hash things out to make 121 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.839 a way for a Trump presidency. It was really quiet, Yes, yeah, shocking, 122 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:28.120 shock and refreshing, delightful. Michael McKenna said that if Trump wins, 123 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.800 there would be riots in Washington and New York. I 124 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.879 kind of thought there or would be too. I kind 125 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.759 of thought that this if he was as evil as 126 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.680 everybody says he is, well he's a Hitler at least 127 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.519 he's Hitler squared or whatever. They said that there would 128 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.800 be people who Now that's not to say that the 129 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.759 inauguration is not going to see some some hygiens and 130 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.120 even you know, the day of certification. 131 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.240 But aren't we tired? 132 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.600 That's the thing. I think people just got worn out politically. 133 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.600 Everybody got so tired of it. George Conway, of course, 134 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.759 the husband at one time of Kelly Yan Conway, said 135 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.639 that Trump was going to lose the immunity case at 136 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.240 the Supreme Court, that he was going to go on 137 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.839 trial in March and that he was going to spend 138 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.759 the rest of his life in prison. Well, now it 139 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.959 looks like there won't be any criminal case against Trump 140 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.439 that Joe Biden is. This was the one that I 141 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.360 think just killed me, that Joe Biden's advisors told him, 142 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.680 you can only stand to benefit from an early debate. Remember, 143 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.680 the debates usually don't take place until August or September 144 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.800 and sometimes into October for presidential candidates. But they agreed 145 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.759 to that June or the late June debate. On May fifteenth, 146 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.399 the Biden campaign said that it was publicly offering to bring 147 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.639 forward the first presidential debate by three months meant to 148 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:52.000 jolt American's attention sooner than later about their consequential choice 149 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.639 in twenty twenty four. Well, that true, well, and that 150 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.240 could have been written by either side, but that was Biden. 151 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.519 Biden's advisors have long believe that the dawning realization of 152 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.680 a Trump Biden rematch will be a bomb for the 153 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:10.000 president dreopy approval rank. That sounds like mois bomb and droopy. 154 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.399 But everybody knows that June twenty seventh debate was the 155 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.639 beginning of the end of his candidacy, and everybody realized. 156 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.639 Democrats realized that they did not have a strong enough candidate. 157 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.480 Trump will know show the debate with Biden. James Carville 158 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.439 had suggested that that the markets would crash if Trump 159 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.080 is convicted in New York, that Matt Gates would be 160 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.759 the next Attorney general. All of these things came listen. 161 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.480 Matt Gates was a bad choice to begin with, and 162 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.639 I'm surprised that people as many people supported him as 163 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.559 did as they did when his name was announced. A 164 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.879 prediction from Howard Lutnick that RFK Junior wouldn't be picked 165 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.039 to lead the HHS. 166 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.360 What does Howard Lutnick know? 167 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:57.039 Well, nothing in this case, No, they said it. Could 168 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.399 it have been a bad prediction from Howard Lutnick? Could 169 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.399 it have been an outr lie or an instance of 170 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.080 hubrist from someone who was not quite as read into 171 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.679 Trump's thinking as he presented himself. 172 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:13.039 Or the appetite for change? Well, and even he misread 173 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.720 the appetite for change. People want RFK in there? 174 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.919 The people do, yes. I wonder how much of the 175 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.080 It's one thing to say that that that exists from 176 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.919 the people, But what did was Trump listening to the 177 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.639 people when he promised RFK to nominate him to HHS. 178 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:32.600 I don't know if that. 179 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.080 Thin at the base, like the groundswell of support that 180 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:37.919 RFK had. 181 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.399 Yes, but that's different than saying that he was hearing 182 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.039 the people. I hear the people sing I can lay 183 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:46.679 miss are. 184 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.159 The people now? 185 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:52.919 Oh so anyway, there's it's just a great article. They 186 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.840 said that the history was going to repeat itself with 187 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.919 a chaotic Democratic convention in Chicago. 188 00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.399 Those were that you were packing for it. 189 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.879 Those were with some of the most mild I mean 190 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.879 compared to the two conventions that we went to eight 191 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.759 years ago. Those were completely mild. 192 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.279 Yeah, you were expecting the worst. You had your Camo 193 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.879 backpack packed, you had your special underpants, you were ready, 194 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.759 which which which supportive ones with the dance belt. 195 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.759 With the dance belt built in. Now you're going to 196 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.159 get me in trouble. Series of atmospheric rivers are expected 197 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.120 to impact northern California over the weekends. We might see 198 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.440 some holiday travel complications if you're headed up there. The 199 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.679 first of those storms expected to move into the Bay 200 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.159 Area tomorrow morning, with about a half inch to three 201 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.240 quarters of an inch of rain and an event that 202 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.240 celebrated the top restaurants in LA sickened at least eighty 203 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:48.799 people neurovirus outbreak linked to raw oysters. LA County's Department 204 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.399 of Public Health confirmed to ABC the outbreak stemmed from 205 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.600 an event at the Hollywood Palladium celebrating the LA Times 206 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.600 list of the one hundred and one best restaurants. 207 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.759 Once you get freight and it's not rocket. 208 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.879 They didn't say which this restaurant brought the raw oysters, though, 209 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.480 did they? That's kind of fun. We are in the 210 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.559 midst of swamp watch and talking about what's going on 211 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.440 in Washington, d C. We were talking a little bit 212 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.279 earlier about this article that came out from Politico, a 213 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.559 pretty good exhaustive list of the worst political predictions of 214 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.759 twenty twenty four. One of the ones I wanted to 215 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.919 revisit that we didn't get to was the expectation that 216 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:25.399 Nicki Haley was going to be the nominee for the Republicans. 217 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:31.200 And I don't even think a year ago. At this time, 218 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.159 we knew that that Trump had thrown his hat back 219 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.440 into the ring and was going to run. But we 220 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:42.600 also had names like Ron DeSantis, we had Nicki Haley. 221 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.960 Obviously we had people like Tim Scott, Chris Christy was involved, 222 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:51.000 and it seemed like at the time that Trump announced 223 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.320 that he was going to run again, it seemed like 224 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.799 people had kind of lost their taste for him. They 225 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:57.639 didn't want to go back to what they considered to 226 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.279 be the four years of chaos that they saw from 227 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.000 the White House because the only but I should say, 228 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.039 the only primaries that Haley won were in Vermont and Washington, 229 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.919 d C. So he cruises to the Republican nomination. They 230 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:15.080 also thought Ari Fleischer, for example, a member of the 231 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.960 White House at one point said that Ari that Nikki 232 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.879 Haley was going to end up being the candidate for 233 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.519 president for the no Labels ticket, which never materialized. As well, 234 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.799 they said that NETANYAHUO was going to be unseated as 235 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.519 the Israeli Prime Minister. It never happened. I mean, all 236 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.759 these things, it goes to show you that politics like 237 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:39.480 that can be a finicky thing to try to try 238 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:40.879 to predict going forward. 239 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.399 Hey, you are your Jeopardy question. 240 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.080 Oh yeah, for Robert. 241 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:53.799 Category is histories mysteries. Okay, for twelve hundred dollars dead 242 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.240 by your own hand in thirty BC She was thought 243 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.360 to have been buried in Alexandria, but her too has 244 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:07.080 never been found. Is it you're going to make up 245 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:07.440 an answer? 246 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.399 Who was Cleopatra? 247 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.159 Who was feeding you these answers? 248 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:13.879 Oh? 249 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.240 I'm sorry, Keana? 250 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.159 Did I get it right? 251 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.000 You flip through these things when she's not looking, don't you? 252 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.960 I do not know, Clio Patra. I have my theories. 253 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.440 What is your theory? 254 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.080 He's a cheating cheaterson, isn't he? 255 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:27.519 Yeah? 256 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:31.080 I think so. Sometimes I see the little thing moved 257 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.639 on my desk. It's a little bent in the corner. Cleopatra. 258 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:36.399 You don't know this? 259 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:37.360 Well? 260 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.440 It was either Cleopatra or never TD. 261 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.399 You just like saying TD, Well, who doesn't. 262 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:45.960 The House Republicans still trying to find a way to 263 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.639 go avoid this government shut down. The latest basically is 264 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:54.200 that they after refusing the first two bills, they came 265 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.000 up with the plans ce. Senate Republicans meanwhile, have to 266 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.000 sit on their thumbs and for the House to figure 267 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.600 this out. Two Senate Republicans, one of them said it 268 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.200 was a fiasco what they're watching in the house. The 269 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.840 other said this was a dysfunctional s show. John Thune. 270 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.480 Of course, the incoming Senate Majority leader will be the 271 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.320 majority leader at the beginning of January, says, I guess 272 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.039 it's back to the drug board. A House Republican told 273 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.519 The Hill dot Com that the overwhelming consensus in the 274 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.399 room was in favor of bringing last night's bill back 275 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.720 to the foe, back to the floor minus the debt 276 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.879 limit language, and then try to pass it under the 277 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.159 suspension of the rules. That would require two thirds. Democrats 278 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.759 and a bunch of Republicans objected to the debt sealing language, 279 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.679 but it's not clear if enough of those no votes 280 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.919 would actually come on board to get the needed two 281 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.080 thirds majority if they're going to do it outside of 282 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.240 the suspension of the rules, outside of the rules, So 283 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.600 we'll see again. They've got ten hours, less than ten 284 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.759 hours to figure this out before government finger quotes shuts down. 285 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.879 Oh side note, somebody suggested that Air Force two's pilots 286 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.320 might be furloughed if there's a government shut down, which 287 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.279 would explain why Kamala Harris was back in DC. That 288 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:17.120 doesn't make sense either. But we've, unfortunately you and I 289 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.759 had to talk about end of life circumstances over the 290 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.519 course the last couple of years because of deaths in 291 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.639 our family. But it has raised a whole lot of 292 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.720 conversations about what to do in the end of life, 293 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.159 what to do at the end of life for loved 294 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.480 ones or for yourself if you find yourself in the position, 295 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.120 and there's a whole new push for psychedelics to be 296 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.799 used at the end of life. 297 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:45.120 Yeah, I'm conflicted on this. I understand alleviating pain making 298 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.720 someone very comfortable, but we saw with your parents when 299 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:54.159 they're in that kind of in between space between living 300 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.919 in the end of life, things can get very muddled. 301 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.519 Like you're muddled already. 302 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.879 Your mom thought she saw her brother and was saying things. 303 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.200 And when you use these psychedelics, I don't know if 304 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.600 you want to exacerbate that, because I think it can 305 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.519 be You don't know how you're going to react to 306 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.399 it is it. Will it be comforting or will it 307 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:15.159 be terrifying? 308 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.759 Yes, your hands turned into spiders. 309 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.720 Gary and Shannon kf I am six forty Live Everywhere 310 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.159 on the iHeartRadio app. 311 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.600 Let's try that again. Go ahead and take two. 312 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:31.279 Go Gary and Shannon I am six forty Live everywhere 313 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.440 on the iHeartRadio app. 314 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.440 Better, let's try a third time, though, I want to 315 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.519 see if no tunicastle for you tonight. That was very 316 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.360 low ta and I apologize for that one thing we 317 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:49.159 forgot to mention during swamp Watch. There was an awful 318 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.720 takedown of Kamala Harris from within her own party yesterday, 319 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.440 and I don't know if you saw any of the 320 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.600 coverage of this. A woman named Lindy Lee, she's the 321 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.440 woman's chair of the Democratic National Committee, and the question 322 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.359 was posed to her, what kind of future does Kamala 323 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.759 Harris have when it comes to, you know, being at 324 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.599 the higher echalons of the Democratic Party. Does she run 325 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.039 for president again? Does she sort of take over the 326 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.559 mantle of kind of being the head of the party 327 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.240 because she was the candidate for the party. 328 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.480 And there's talk of her becoming California. 329 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.720 Running for governor evernor right, Lindy Lee, again the Women's 330 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.799 chair of the Democratic National Committee, said. 331 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.839 November fifth was a decisive defeat for the Democratic Party. 332 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.920 She lost every single swing state. Kamala Harris's indulging in 333 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.200 delusions of running for governor of California possibly in twenty 334 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.640 twenty six, or even president again in twenty twenty eight. 335 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.799 America has said, this is not what we don't want. 336 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.359 To be coconut pilled. We do not want Kamala Harris. 337 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.000 We don't want failed border policies I've never. 338 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.200 Heard of she did. She says she has been ostracized 339 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.480 from her fellow Democrats, referred to the party as a 340 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.559 cult because she dared to speak up about what kind 341 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.519 of political future Kamala Harris might have. 342 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.640 Wouldn't running for governor be a demotion for her? 343 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.160 No, well, it would be a demotion on its face, yes, 344 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.440 but then you're still the head of the fifth largest 345 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:21.160 economy in the world. I mean, it's big, it's a 346 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:22.960 I wouldn't say it's an easy job. 347 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.039 No, but she would easily win here, at. 348 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.480 Least for name recognition. Yes. 349 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.559 Well, and it's they vote. We vote for Democrats here. 350 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.400 That's what we do. 351 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.000 That's what we do. Doesn't matter. 352 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.759 Last Republican to be governor of the state of California, Schwarzenegger. 353 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.519 We've talked about this. You and I have talked about 354 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.440 this very rarely have we ever done it on the radio, 355 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.640 but we My father passed away last year right about 356 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.720 this time. Mom passed away the year before that. Mixed 357 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.599 in there, I have a brother in law who passed away, 358 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.720 a cousin who passed away, an uncle passed away. Like, 359 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.440 there's just been this. It's the time of life. Everybody 360 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.920 has these times in their lives. Yes, and the issues 361 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.240 around hospice care and late stage medications and all of 362 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.720 that has come up. And this I thought was an 363 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.559 interesting thing because this was one of the issues that 364 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.720 we talked about. For example, both mom and dad lost 365 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.640 their lives to cancer. And one of the things that 366 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.200 we had offered we as the kids, had offered our 367 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.400 parents was how about a little bit of pot or 368 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.000 just something like something something to maybe stimulate your appetite, 369 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.519 just take away some of the uncomfortability. There's concern, there's worry, 370 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.440 there's paranoia, all of that stuff. Just something that just relax. 371 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.079 It doesn't have to be pot, but just something to relax. 372 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.839 And there's an article in the New York Times regarding 373 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:54.599 psychedelics and specifically psilocybin clinics. In Oregon can operate a 374 00:19:54.599 --> 00:20:00.079 psilocybin clinic and it is a way for you to 375 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.359 get high. I mean, it's not a that that's the 376 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.599 only way to put it is to get high to 377 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.559 kind of stop worrying about the end of life. 378 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.400 Well, I don't think that psychedelics are used to get high, 379 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:16.440 per se. I think they offer you kind of a 380 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.079 step into the mystical, or they give you a glimmer 381 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.319 of something. They alter your perceptions in a way that's 382 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.960 not necessarily getting high, but stepping into a different realm 383 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:28.400 of reality, real or unreal. 384 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.160 Uh. 385 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.319 Doctor Michael Fratkin is a palliad of care specialists here 386 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.960 in California, said a lot of the patients that he 387 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.400 treats with ketamine, for example, experience a marked relief from 388 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.279 fear and anxiety and even physical pain. 389 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.440 Yes, and that like with your father, he was so 390 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.440 much at his end of life was anxiety and fear. 391 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.119 He wasn't sure, he wasn't sure what to expect. He 392 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:54.559 didn't know what was on the other side. He didn't 393 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.480 know if it was going to hurt. I mean, and 394 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.240 this is a guy who had lived with cancer for 395 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.960 thirty years in some form or another, and by the 396 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.160 time it got bad, it was all over his body 397 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.119 and it was causing pain in an area. I mean, 398 00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.119 I can't imagine what pain he was experiencing to begin with, 399 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.319 and then was worried that there was going to be 400 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:15.480 more pain. 401 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.519
