Today, 11 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.559 the skeleton hasn't really been dealt with. 12 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.359 What do you think what do you think is the 13 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.199 issue that people are most interested in chiming in about today? 14 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:31.920 Yeah? 15 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.119 Oh, you being able to unhook a woman's bra with 16 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:39.479 just a simple hug. 17 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.520 Accidentally accidentally, No, that's not it. No, No, it's chlorine. 18 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.159 So interesting fact about chlorine from somebody in the pool 19 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.520 industry for thirty years. Chlorine itself will not turn your 20 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.520 hair green unless you have metals in solution in the waters. 21 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:57.039 Such as copper. 22 00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.640 If you have high copper and high chlorine, it will 23 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.920 turn your head grain. Also, if you can smell chlorine 24 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.519 in a public pool, it's because of what's. 25 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.719 Called chloramines, where the chlorine. 26 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.719 Is mixed or combined with byproducts such as ammonia, which. 27 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:12.760 Is sweat pea. 28 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:13.760 That's why you can smell it. 29 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.439 Okay, chiers why they don't have vinyls in London. 30 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.000 I was gonna say he's more knowledgeable because of his accent. 31 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640 Hey, Gary and shatter, Just another little trivia fact about 32 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.959 the pool chlorinus of it's not the actual chlorine that 33 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:29.879 makes your eyes red. 34 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.519 It's usually the acidic but the pH of it. 35 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.640 But mostly it's the urine in the pool that's it 36 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.239 makes your eyes red. So yeah, I mean, you love 37 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.439 the urine in the pool, so good for you, guys. 38 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.680 But it's the pea in the pool that you guys. 39 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.359 We were just having a little fun. We were just 40 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.920 having a little bit of fun that was not well researched. 41 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.200 We don't need Gary John here. 42 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:52.719 Pool guy. 43 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.400 You know what that chlorine smell that you think you're smelling. 44 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:57.879 It's not actually chlorine. 45 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:04.159 It's the chlorine breaking cell walls of microorganisms in there 46 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.519 and off gassing there. 47 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.719 So that's it. 48 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.000 It's not you're not smelling chlorine, you're smelling killing. 49 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:11.199 Uh. 50 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.240 Can I just scold myself for ignorance for my entire life, 51 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.719 I didn't know about pool guys.

I mean they're chemists, understanding all. 55 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.840 I just thought that, you know, like my dad would 56 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.840 have for our pool, he would have one of these 57 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.280 little plastic cylinder things. 58 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.120 And you put the it looked like a pan. 59 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.919 Float exactly, and you'd put a drop of water and 60 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.319 you'd put some chemicals in and you'd make sure the 61 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.240 p H is right. And that was that. There was 62 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:48.520 no science involved. 63 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.280 Well that is tech. That is exactly science. 64 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.520 Right, But it looked like you know, child's apparatus. 65 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:57.000 It didn't seem high levels. 66 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.960 So it did not Good morning, Gary and jan almost 67 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.599 afternoon whatever, Shannon.

She did not outperform me in any 135 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.600 counties in the entire country. Is he sounded like he 136 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.319 has more energy than he has in a long time. 137 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.000 He is excited. 138 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.480 I don't think he could have beaten Trump.

I mean you 153 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.800 had people coming out and saying not Trump, not Trump, 154 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.879 not Trump, Oprah, Beyonce. 155 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.000 What have you. 156 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.720 Yeah, but you did have a lot of people. 157 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.120 Coming out that have worked with Kamala Harris and saying 158 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.399 this is what she stands for, this is who she 159 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.759 you know what I mean? That was missing because I 160 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.000 almost have whiplash thinking about us sitting here reporting on 161 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.160 all the reports that came out about her staff and 162 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.800 the exodus because she was such a not nice boss 163 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:05.279 that that we went from that almost within a couple 164 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.959 of months to her being the candidate and them trying 165 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:08.800 to shine that up. 166 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.120 There are a couple things about the aftermath of the election. 167 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.959 One of them was that Iowa Des Moines Register poll 168 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:25.560 that came out. That's an interesting, weird outlier poll and 169 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.199 the woman who was in charge of it comes out. 170 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.680 But also what is four b oh? 171 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.240 Is this that. 172 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.680 The Asian women feminist movement? 173 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.639 Korean feminists? Yeah? Four b and what it has to 174 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:41.920 do with the election? 175 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.519 Hey, Garry Shannon loved the show and all that. You 176 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.439 guys are great, Just curious, are you guys gonna be 177 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.560 keeping that Satan swamp watching? Are y'all gonna be you know, 178 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.759 changing it up and mixing it up. Won't be upset 179 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.639 either way, Just very curious about that. 180 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.439 I think the plan would be to do it at 181 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.519 the changing of the guard. Shall we see January January 182 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.879 probably whether we do it January first or whenever we're 183 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.040 there that week for the beginning of the Congress or 184 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.160 at the inauguration. 185 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.920 Right but early next year, we'll say that. 186 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.040 Sure, we do have our eye on that fire, the 187 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.360 massive one in Ventura County, fourteen thousand, five hundred acres 188 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.600 at this point, zero containment this morning. Nothing short of 189 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.279 heroic efforts from all of the authorities there for that 190 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.720 ground effort. In those firefighters, they said that the environmental 191 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.279 recipe for this one is what made it a killer. 192 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.759 Two years with above average rain means a lot of grass, 193 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.120 which means fine fuels receptive to wind and warmth, which 194 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.120 is what these red flag conditions bring us. Channel seven 195 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.039 counted this morning eighty three homes lost in Camaro Springs there, 196 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.200 so we will keep our eye on that. There is 197 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.759 another fire that is popped up in Orange County along 198 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.240 the ninety one in Anaheim, so they've closed a lane there. 199 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.200 It's right east of Imperial Highway. 200 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.919 Back into swamp Watch. 201 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.279 We'll talk about President elect Donald Trump and the plans 202 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.600 that he's got for these next several weeks before he 203 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.600 gets inaugurated, and that's going to be putting together all 204 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.639 of the appointees that have to make up the Trump 205 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.679 government as we go forward. Robert Sherman from News Nation 206 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.320 is joining us once again. And this is this is 207 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.120 not an unusual task. Every president incoming president has to 208 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:28.840 do it. But is he going to take a different 209 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.879 tack on it this year? 210 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.639 Yeah, I mean that's what it seems at this point. 211 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.480 I Mean, one of the points that they've made is 212 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.480 very clearly is that they want all this to look 213 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.919 different than it did in twenty and sixteen. And from 214 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.639 all indications so far, that seems to be the case. 215 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.639 I mean, just from some of the names that you've 216 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.639 heard him mention that he wants to be involved in 217 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.399 the government in some capacity, whether that's Robert F. Kennedy Junior, 218 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.159 whether that's Elon Musk. I mean, all of this is 219 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.240 still very much so in the stratosphere. Nothing has been 220 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.279 finalized yet, but here's some of these names. I mean, 221 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.440 this does all seem like a different tact for sure. 222 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.759 This is a guy who is all in when it 223 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.960 comes to nepotism. Do you see his sons taking up 224 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:10.639 any posts. 225 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.759 I mean, especially on the transition team. That's our understanding 226 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.120 is is that both Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump 227 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.440 are going to play a role in this whole vetting 228 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.799 process at least. I mean, that's what the indication has been. 229 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.240 And keep in mind is that the election only happened 230 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.279 two days ago. But these conversations about what a transition 231 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.480 process would look like and what a transition team would 232 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.279 look like, this has been ongoing for months up to 233 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.440 this point, so some of those frameworks are starting to 234 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.000 come together. 235 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.480 Any big names in terms of potential cabinet positions or 236 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.320 is it too early for that sort of discussion. 237 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.600 Yeah, I mean there are names that are being thrown around, 238 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.480 and there's a swirl, you know, as to you know, 239 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.639 who the base wants and such. I mean some of 240 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.279 these names that you've seen on the campaign trail, they Ramaswami, 241 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.279 Doug Bergham. I mean, we hear these names a lot again. 242 00:10:59.360 --> 00:10:59.720 Robert F. 243 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.240 Kenney Junior, Elon Musk. I mean, those are some of 244 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.879 the names that you're hearing being thrown around. Nothing has 245 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.559 been formally flatted, I would say that with emphasis, but 246 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.519 keep in mind you are talking about a finite time 247 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.279 frame here of seventy four days until the inauguration or so, 248 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.840 so there is a lot that has to be done 249 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.039 from now until January. 250 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.639 One of the names that I would I would be 251 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.320 curious to see if it gets any traction is Ron DeSantis, 252 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.039 obviously governor out of Florida, who did run for the 253 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.039 nomination but didn't do very well in terms of stacking 254 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:37.759 up against former President Trump. But he is wildly successful 255 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.759 now in Florida, which has become a pretty reliable red state. 256 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.720 Does would he have any position? 257 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.080 I mean, that seems like he would be an easy 258 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.000 pick to at least garner a good favor for the 259 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.759 people in Florida. 260 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.679 Yeah, I mean it's quite possible. I mean you even heard, 261 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.480 you know, Florida Governor Ronda Santa is putting out his 262 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.120 pick for helping human services, you know, who he would 263 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:03.639 like to see there. So, I mean he's been vocal 264 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.480 about who he'd like to see on the cabinet in 265 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.879 terms of could he be there, I mean possibly, I 266 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.399 mean anything is open right now. And keep in mind, 267 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.399 you know, I mean there's there's a whole process, you know, 268 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.960 when it comes to putting people onto the cabinet as well, 269 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.840 so there's a long way to go with all of this. 270 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.320 I mean, it just totally remains to be seen because 271 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.799 it is so early in the ballgame. 272 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.480 And Baron's out right, he's not He's got school to 273 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.000 go to. He's not going to be anything. 274 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.000 Could just say never say never about anything at this point. 275 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.879 But we shall see. We still see how all this 276 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.440 plays out. 277 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.200 He'd definitely be the center in the pickup basketball game though. 278 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.399 I think he's about seven foot seven by. 279 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.320 Now, no doubt. 280 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.600 Robert Sherman, thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate it. 281 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:46.919 Thank you. 282 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:47.639 Robert. 283 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.600 There from a news nation. Vladimir Putin has entered the 284 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:51.799 group Chat okay. 285 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.279 He says, I would like to take this. 286 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.399 Opportunity to congratulate Trump on his election as president of 287 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.679 the United States of America. As to what he expects 288 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.120 from a second Trump presidency, he said, I don't know 289 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.440 what will happen now. I have no idea for him. 290 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.399 This is still his last presidential term. What he will 291 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.360 do is his matter. But he did add about Trump's 292 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.879 comments when it came to Ukraine and restoring relations with 293 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.360 Russia and wanting to help end the Ukrainian crisis. They 294 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.840 said that this was somebody who claimed he would negotiate 295 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.039 an end of the conflict in Ukraine in twenty. 296 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.120 Four hours, and he said he would do it before 297 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.320 he even became president. 298 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.759 Ah. 299 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.279 There are some women who say they are trying to 300 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.080 take back their agency, and they're turning to a radical 301 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.440 Korean feminist movement to do so. It's called four B. 302 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.279 The B is actually a shorthand for the word no 303 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:57.120 in Korean. So the four knows no sex, no dating, 304 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.919 no marriage, no children, wow, in order to take back 305 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.679 their agency? 306 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.399 Is this like a Handmaid's Tale type? Ida ever watched it? 307 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:09.519 So? 308 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.720 No sex though? Huh? Well with men?

Just what you said, 315 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.879 you do you? No, that's not I love that. You 316 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.480 don't shut the door on love.

You know, we suffering. 331 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.120 People are obviously in this country talking about the election, 332 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.080 and some people are having some some feelings. 333 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:33.720 Related to the election. 334 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.120 And today you're going to be telling us about free 335 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.840 apps for relaxation and stress relief. 336 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:39.799 Yeah. 337 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.720 I think everybody in every country has been talking about 338 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.759 the election. You know, it's not just that's true in 339 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.360 the US of a. 340 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.080 How are people in other countries reacting though, with trauma 341 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.840 and stress and sadness? 342 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:54.879 Yes and no. 343 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.240 I mean, obviously we don't have as much skin in 344 00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.039 the game as those who live in the country, but 345 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.679 as as a Canadian, the US is our biggest trading partner, 346 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.200 so that could affect it could affect us. 347 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.840 Or the wars in the Middle East. 348 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.159 Depending on where you sit on that, you you are 349 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.440 you're either happy or very upset about the results of 350 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.879 the election. It's big news anyway you slice it. And 351 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.519 so yeah, I have friends in the Great White North 352 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:24.279 here who are either miserable this week, you know, the 353 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.720 the the Democrats, and then of course or as we 354 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.799 call them, the Liberals, and then of course the team 355 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.639 read people are happy up here at Conservatives, but yeah, 356 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:35.519 the Republicans. 357 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.159 So yeah. 358 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.320 But either way, if you are, whether you're. 359 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.440 Happy and you're you need to just calm down and enjoy, 360 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.559 you know, get back to your your equilibrium, or you're 361 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:47.759 very upset and you need to take your mind off 362 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.759 of the election news. I did write an article that 363 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:55.159 looked at some mindfulness and meditation apps that you can 364 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.279 you can take advantage of. You've probably seen ads even 365 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.519 during the election. In fact, I was watching I think 366 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.679 it was CNN. It had a thirty minute, silent, thirty 367 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:08.039 second ad purchased by Calm, and it said this thirty 368 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.200 second ad is is completely silent, You're welcome. 369 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.559 And they just put the Calm logo at the end. 370 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.200 That was during the CNN broadcast of during election night. 371 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.319 So Calm is probably the most popular app for getting 372 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.640 little bits of you know, little moments of zen throughout 373 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:29.119 the day.
