About twenty inches of 9 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.359 rain over three days. 10 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.839 Or as my friends and I call it, November in 11 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:29.920 northern California. 12 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.600 Well, they said that they got November's worth of rain 13 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:33.840 in three days. 14 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.079 Yeah, which seems like a lot. 15 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.960 Did you see the video of TD Jake's the pastor no, 16 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.039 so he's I know you weren't watching his service yesterday, 17 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.560 but he was on stage at his church in I 18 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.719 think it's called Potter's House in Dallas, and he's praying, 19 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.600 and he's sitting in a little stool and right at 20 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.640 the end of his prayer, he just stops moving. 21 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.000 Must from. 22 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.200 Well going peace. 23 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.680 The microphone kind of falls away from his hand or 24 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.760 his arm falls away from his mouth, I should say, 25 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.439 and he starts convulsing a little bit, but he doesn't 26 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.640 fall off the stage, which was crazy because he's just 27 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.200 sitting on a stool and ten twelve people immediately rush 28 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.480 onto the stage and get him. 29 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.879 The official statement from Potter's house from the church is 30 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.799 that he experienced a slight health incident that he received 31 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.799 immediate medical attention following his hour long sermon that he 32 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.239 had given. 33 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.640 So it was right at the end of his sermon. 34 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.239 So it sounds like a stroke or something. 35 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.120 Yeah, but then they're very careful to say it's simply 36 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.560 a slight health incident. 37 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.959 Yes, all right, swamp watch swamp hard. 38 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.640 The government doesn't work, man. It is like in reality TV. 39 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.680 Shooting co was a bad news, always. 40 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.480 A pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. 41 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:07.359 Hey, Joe. 42 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.520 A town hall too, clearly built on a swamp and 43 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.360 in so many ways still a swamp. 44 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:14.560 I have a batch of malarkey. 45 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:15.759 Nobody said, drained the swamp. 46 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.199 I said, Oh, that's so hell keep happens, you know 47 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.639 the thing. 48 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.240 Well, a big news is that Jack Smith is asking 49 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.120 permission from the court to abandon a couple of federal 50 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.599 cases against President elect Trump. 51 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.840 This could be at least two of the lengthy. 52 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.240 Historic investigations that never make it to trial and may 53 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.479 never see the inside of a courtroom again. 54 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.159 Trump phased four felony charges in connection with his efforts 55 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.520 to overturn the presidential election loss in twenty twenty, of course, 56 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.759 culminating with the attack at the Capitol, Conspiracy to defraud 57 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.400 the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction 58 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.639 of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy 59 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.639 against to rights. That was a new one for me. 60 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.960 There's two filings here. One of them, Smith asked Judge 61 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.400 Tanya Chukun to dismiss the federal election interference charges that 62 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.599 you were referring to, saying that he stands fully behind 63 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.080 the allegations in the indictment, but says the Justice Department's 64 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.400 guidelines make it clear that he could not prosecute a 65 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.800 sitting president. About an hour after that, just a short 66 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.120 time ago, he filed a separate motion in the US 67 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.919 Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit down in the 68 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.759 Southern part of the United States, asking to drop Trump 69 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.840 as a co defendant from the Special Council's appeal of 70 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.439 a ruling in the classified Documents case that judge in 71 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.919 that case, Aileen Cannon had dismissed the indictment, breaking with 72 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.879 legal precedent to agree with Trump's lawyers that Smith was 73 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.159 unlawfully appointed. Again, not the details of the case, but 74 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.319 unlawful prosecution. He was, of course accused in that case 75 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.240 of hoarding classified documents down at mar A Lago. 76 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.199 Well, what is next for Kamala Harris. She left for 77 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.680 a Hawaiian vacation. She is searching, her aid say, for 78 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.199 the next steps in her political career after losing the election. 79 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.439 Former Harris aid Brian Brocon told Politico She's not someone 80 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.079 who makes rash decisions. She takes sometimes a painfully long 81 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.439 time to make decisions. So I would pretty much guarantee 82 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.079 you she has no idea what her next move is. 83 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.160 Well, I mean it's one of those that a politician 84 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.199 in that at that level. I mean, she ran for president, 85 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.879 that's a rarefied air. 86 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.600 She could run for governor here at California. Another presidential 87 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.600 run could be on the table. I thought that there 88 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.319 was no possibility of that. However, that chunk of Democrats 89 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.240 that came out forty one percent in that poll last 90 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.279 week said that they would support her as a candidate 91 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:53.959 in twenty twenty eight, and I. 92 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.120 Wonder how much of that is just recency bias. I mean, 93 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.600 her name had been plastered around for one hundred and 94 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.240 seven days, you know, longer than that, but one hundred 95 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.160 and seven days as the length of the campaign, So 96 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.560 you know it's you'd have to give that one a 97 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.439 few months, give it six months, and ask that question 98 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.600 again of what you want Kamala Harris to do. 99 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.399 I mean, just forget, I mean, don't forget. She ran 100 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.120 in that full length the Democratic primary. She didn't make 101 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.839 it long enough to the Iowa caucus. 102 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.560 Yeah, she got zero votes in either prime. 103 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:31.279 How many people around her spoke out during her mad 104 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.800 dash to the White House. You didn't see a lot 105 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.319 of people come to her defense and talk about how 106 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.759 wonderful she is. You know, it doesn't seem like there's 107 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.600 a lot of popularity even in her inner circle. And 108 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.199 that was something that was reported for a long time 109 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.040 about her aids and the exodus from the office, or 110 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.879 her bad temper, things like that. Not a lot of 111 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.519 not a lot of popularity points Well you might need, Glinda. 112 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.600 It goes back to, you know, this unfortunate pattern that 113 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.839 we found found ourselves in I want to say for 114 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.519 probably thirty or forty years, where it much more so 115 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.759 in the last few election cycles. We're not voting for 116 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.800 the people that we support, We're voting against the other person. 117 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.800 And money is not moving the needle the way it 118 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.040 has historically. One point five billion dollars in fifteen weeks 119 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.399 and nothing to show for it. 120 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.959 I mean, she was making progress in the polls, but 121 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.040 the polls were wrong. 122 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:27.800 Again. 123 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.680 It's just an it's it is a strange, strange phenomenon. 124 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.160 One thing happened today that we'll play when we come back, 125 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.920 the presidential pardoning of the Turkey. 126 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.399 Oh, for the love, I heard it in Amy's News 127 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.120 and I got very uncomfortable. 128 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.839 It doesn't get better when I play the longer version either. 129 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.000 Oh yeah, Chargers hosting the Ravens out at so far. 130 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.879 That's where Shannon is right now, get ready for the 131 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.240 latest Harball Bowl. Not quite as interesting or exciting as 132 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.759 the last one, but still always fun. 133 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.920 I don't know, man, this has a big, big time 134 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.720 feel between these two days. These two teams tonight. 135 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.759 Well, like you said, they're both playoff bound, right. 136 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.600 Yeah, this season ended today, they would both be in 137 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.560 the postseason. Yes, I mean, who knows what's gonna happen 138 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.399 down the stretch. A lot of football left to play, 139 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.279 but they are two of the teams being talked about 140 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.959 as power as the powerful ones in the AFC. I mean, 141 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.759 you'll get Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Justin Herbert what he's 142 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.439 been able to do. He's got the most twenty plus 143 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.759 yard touchdown passes. The air attack tonight could be insane. 144 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.639 I mean, Justin Herbert could put on a freaking show 145 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.399 tonight with the way that that Baltimore pass defense is struggling. 146 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.800 So we'll see that's. 147 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.600 A It'll still be fun. I think you're excited. 148 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.480 What do you mean it'll still be fun. 149 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:50.399 That'll still be fun. 150 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.000 Of course, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be maybe 151 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:54.720 the game of the week. 152 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.639 You don't have to get angry. Look at you, you're 153 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.279 getting angry. 154 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.839 I just said Justin Herbert might on a great show, 155 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.000 and you're like, it'll still be fun. 156 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.680 It'll still be fun if he does that. Did you 157 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:06.720 eat anything today yet? 158 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.519 Have I add some corn chips? I have an incrustables 159 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.680 that I'm staring at. Okay, might get into that. 160 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.000 I just know that sometimes you get angry when you haven't. 161 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.759 I'm not angry. It doesn't sound like it's not making 162 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.439 any sense. 163 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.240 One of the most common prescription drugs could be putting 164 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.600 you at higher risk for losing bone density. 165 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:26.639 Oh that's not good. 166 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:27.240 No, it is not. 167 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.600 Study from Johns Hopkins found that people who have been 168 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.759 taking the drug level thyroxine that's what I take, known 169 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.039 most often as synthroid, that's. 170 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.200 What I take every day. I've taken it my whole life. 171 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.399 More likely to lose a larger amount of bone tissue 172 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:43.480 than people not taking it. 173 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.240 I have noticed that my bone density has not been 174 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.440 what it once was. Thank you for a chi check 175 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.279 your bone density. No, I'm just kidding. I've just that 176 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.080 just happens as you get older, you know. Austin horosis 177 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.840 sets In the bizarre story at Laxcept, the dad that 178 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.960 flew to find his alleged missing thirty one year old daughter. 179 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.200 She was here from Hawaiian route to New York and 180 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.399 she just stopped communicating with her family when she landed 181 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.440 in la She's been cited at various points in the city, 182 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.679 and the family came out here and has had this 183 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.440 big kind of media push to rally around finding this 184 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.679 woman and to me, it seems like she's thirty one 185 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.360 years old. She's just out there living her life. She 186 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.559 doesn't want to talk to this family. But I mean, 187 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.799 the dad turns up dead and then it turns out 188 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.679 that he jumped off of a roof or something near 189 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.759 lax suicide. 190 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:40.559 They're saying, yeah, not something is going on. You made 191 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.120 the point earlier that it will find out more information. 192 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:44.919 And I wonder if it's just that this is a 193 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.759 very troubled not just a troubled girl or a woman, 194 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.120 Sorry Hannah, but the family. 195 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.480 May have issues going on. 196 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.759 The big deal out of DC Special counsel Jack Smith 197 00:09:55.799 --> 00:10:00.639 dropping the federal election subversion case and be mishandling classified 198 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.799 documents cases against President Alex Trump trying to dismiss these 199 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.840 in court filings today. Trump had long said that he 200 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.559 would fire Jack Smith when he retakes office. Jack Smith wrote, 201 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.320 the Justice Department's position is that the constitution requires that 202 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.960 this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated, so 203 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.000 that the outcome is not based on the merits or 204 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.879 the strength of a case against the defendant, but basically 205 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.000 just that it's the long standing policy of the DJ 206 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.840 that they don't prosecute sitting presidents. 207 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:30.679 Tell me about the term. 208 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.159 Well, a Thanksgiving tradition. It's funny, it's goofy. It's a 209 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.039 way to humanize the president, whoever it might be. And 210 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.080 it's just a goofy. I don't know, it's a goofy 211 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.440 Monday in Washington, DC. 212 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.399 It takes on a sadness to me this year, just 213 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.679 because it's like the only thing that Biden kind of 214 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.799 can do well. He can't take questions from reporters on 215 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.240 what our involvement is, our stepped up involvement when it 216 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:00.480 comes to Ukraine and Russia. But he can't and do 217 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.559 the whole Turkey thing. 218 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.440 And then over the weekend, I don't know if it 219 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.039 was Saturday Sunday, they've already thrown him a goodbye party, 220 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.480 like an end of the term party. Well, anyway, here 221 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.519 this was from this morning's Turkey Pardon. 222 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.919 Now he was nine year old son Grant. They've raised 223 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:24.240 two special guests for honoring today, Peach and Blossom. Let's 224 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.120 break Peach up. 225 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:31.799 To join us. Oh no, is he gonna talk to me? 226 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.000 Telly? Peach weighs about forty two pounds. 227 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.919 Well, let's try to make some fun turkey jokes. 228 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:42.600 And why do you say peach? Oh, peach Megan last 229 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:47.279 man to plea here. The two turkeys are named after 230 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:51.120 a Delaware state flower, the peace blossom. And by the way, 231 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.720 Delaware has a long history of growing peaches. In fact, 232 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.440 the peach pie in our state is one of my 233 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:03.320 favorites of state dessert. And peach blossom flowers also symbolized 234 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.080 as the resilience, which is quite frankly fitting for today. 235 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:08.600 Not a joke. 236 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.679 This White House tradition began when turkey was resented to 237 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.720 President Truman and that president, then President George HW. Bush 238 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.320 began partning turkeys in the last four years out of 239 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.279 the order to continue that tradition by pardoning peanut butter 240 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.799 and jelly chocolate chip, Oh God, Liberty and bell and 241 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.679 today p JM. Blossom. 242 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.039 It's in the context of three. 243 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.639 Birds in the United States of America. 244 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:43.559 It's just in the context of we know about about 245 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.200 Joe Biden. 246 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:44.960 He's eighty two. 247 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.200 I mean I can say that he was at the 248 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.480 Truman and it was a joke, but he was with us, 249 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.120 he was alive, he was a wild he was a child. 250 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.840 Yeah, he was there, but it was definitely, we're. 251 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.639 Also keeping our hearts. Oh, who have lost so much? 252 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:06.879 Who will have an EMPTYCD at the Thanksgiving dinner table 253 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.000 tonight or Thursday night. 254 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:10.879 Or whenever you do it, wheneverything's giving? 255 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.440 Can we not? Can we just not? 256 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:13.159 Wait? 257 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.679 Who is he talking about the dead? People? Just in general? 258 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:15.879 Oh? 259 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.240 He was. 260 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.480 He was honoring members of the military who are not 261 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.600 going to be able to do Thanksgiving with their families, 262 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.720 but also anybody who had lost a loved one over 263 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.919 the course of the last year, since the last Thanksgiving. 264 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.279 Okay, he was talking to me, if that's who you're asked. 265 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:37.960 He was talking to me, I thought, sorry, go ahead, nothing. 266 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.200 No, it's something going on in there. 267 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.039 I hear like a. 268 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.120 Like a vacuum. 269 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.200 Yeah, like a vacuum type machine. I'm not sure what 270 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:46.559 it is. 271 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.879 I'm sorry, you don't know what a vacuum sounds like. 272 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:56.519 Sorry, basically I can't remember the last time I operated 273 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.440 a vacuum. I have a roomba. 274 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.960 Oh you have people for that. 275 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.279 Color Helen, because she runs into stuff she can't That 276 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.840 is mean? What do you mean? That's mean? 277 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.200 The stories that we are following right here on Gary 278 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.200 and Shannon Jack Smith Special Council is asking permission from 279 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.240 US courts now to abandon two of the federal cases 280 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:23.679 against President elect Trump, probably coming bringing to an end 281 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.480 a couple of the investigations that never actually made it 282 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.960 to trial. So first thing this morning, he asked the 283 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.840 district Judge Tanya Chutekun to dismiss the federal election interference 284 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.159 charges brought in. DC said he does stand behind the 285 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.279 allegations of the indictment, but says the Justice Department guideline 286 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.639 makes it clear that he could not prosecute a sitting president. 287 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.320 About an hour after that, he made a separate motion 288 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.639 to the Eleventh Circuit asking to drop Trump as one 289 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.000 of the co defendants from the Special Council's appeal of 290 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.000 a ruling in the classified documents case. That one was 291 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:02.799 dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon because it basically it agrees 292 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.120 she agreed with Trump's lawyers that the special counsel in 293 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.720 that case was unlawfully appointed. So good Thanksgiving week news 294 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.519 for the incoming president. 295 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:18.200 I'm surprised now we're just labeling this behavior this behavioral pattern. 296 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.759 I would think that we would have named it a 297 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:23.759 long time ago, since that this is not really anything new, 298 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:25.639 but now we have a word for it. 299 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:35.919 Fubbing, fubbing, fubbing, phu, fubbing, bb ing. It is fubbing 300 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:38.360 phone snubbing. 301 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.440 They say it's an insidious habit that can hurt your relationship. 302 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.360 It's true, Well you go on and talk about I 303 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.799 don't mean you. Someone goes on and talks about something 304 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.080 only to look up and realize the person that you've 305 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.240 been talking to has not been paying attention to you. 306 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.600 They've snubbed you by looking at the phone. 307 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:05.639 One of my least favorite things is when you call 308 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.200 somebody on it or stop talking to highlight the fact 309 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.600 that you think they're not listening. 310 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.759 Yes, and they just wait in silence until. 311 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.639 They say what, I'm listening, And it's like, okay, maybe, 312 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.279 but are you really? And also can't I get some 313 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.879 undifided attention up in here? 314 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.519 Oh you are needy? Fubbing can range be a range 315 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:28.200 of different behavior. 316 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.960 Don't need to have blanket undivided attention, but for like 317 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.039 a couple minutes while I'm trying to make some sort 318 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:34.399 of point. 319 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.200 Some people say it's just glancing at your phone in 320 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.200 the middle of a conversation, right, It might be checking 321 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.080 your phone when the conversation stalls out a little bit, 322 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:48.600 or just even having your phone nearby and reacting any 323 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.559 moment that thing pings or dings or bongs or dongs 324 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:54.480 or something like that. 325 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.080 I'm super guilty of this, but I'm aware of it, 326 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.200 which I think is important. I'm aware of it to 327 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.200 where I don't want to do it as much, nearly 328 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.759 as much as I don't want to do it at all. 329 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:05.279 But I definitely don't want to do it nearly as 330 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.559 much as I catch myself doing it. But I think 331 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.279 some people lack the awareness that this is a thing, 332 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.279 or that it's rude, or they don't perceive it as 333 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.680 rude because everyone's just on their phones all the time. 334 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.680 I was going to the elevator at work last week 335 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.480 and realized I was looking down at my phone, and 336 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.640 if someone comes out of the elevator and it walks 337 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.400 past me, and I felt kind of bad, like why 338 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.519 wasn't I a human and made eye contact with that 339 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.559 person and said good morning instead of just continuing to 340 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.160 look down at my phone despite them existing. I know 341 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.480 that not everybody. You don't need to say good morning 342 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:45.839 to everyone you encounter at the elevator thing. But it 343 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.799 even hit me in that moment, like, look at me. 344 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.759 I'm one of those Wally people. I just have my 345 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.799 head in my phone instead of having a conversation or 346 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:54.559 a pleasantry. 347 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:55.680 Wally people. 348 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.319 You know the movie that you reference. 349 00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.160 I know, I get it. 350 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.200 Anthony Chambers is a Board certified Couple and Family psychologists, 351 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.599 chief academic officer at the Family Institute at Northwestern University 352 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.640 and says that this really does have an impact, and 353 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:17.240 for most couples it's pretty easy issue to fix, especially 354 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.359 if you see it happening. I mean, if you see 355 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.480 it and it's a problem that you should be able 356 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.359 to do something about it. A couple people have suggested 357 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.200 just some starter questions, so what rules do we have 358 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:30.599 when we talk to others? Now, some of it sounds 359 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.880 a little childish, but in terms of setting some of 360 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:38.319 the really basic of foundational rules about rules, not the 361 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.400 right word guidelines, perhaps where you would say to your 362 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.359 significant other, Hey, I know this is a problem for me. 363 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.359 I'm going to do my best, So feel free to 364 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.160 call me out on it if you feel like I'm 365 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.720 not paying attention to you because I'm looking. 366 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:54.079 At my phone. 367 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.359 The thing is is that you know, you use your 368 00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:59.920 phone for so many things, use it to google things, 369 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:01.920 You look at it for your calendar, you look at 370 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.799 it for you know, what you've got coming up this week, 371 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.279 You look at it for news items.

But what it comes across is that 374 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.720 you're choosing to give attention to somebody else versus the 375 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:18.279 person that you are face to face. 376 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.480 With, right even if it's even if it's momentary. 377 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.200 To the exclusion of whoever you're with. 378 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.160 Yeah, and it's an awful thing to be on the 379 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.920 receiving end of that. If you're saying something and you're 380 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.359 telling a story. Granted, I know mine can get boring 381 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:34.200 at times, but if somebody immediately would rather look at 382 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.680 the the alert that they got from Instagram as opposed 383 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:43.839 to me finishing my very fun and interesting story, it hurts. 384 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.359 You just went from boring to fun and interesting. 385 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.559 Well, listen, I get it. I know they said. 386 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:52.759 It's not like you can. You're not going to avoid 387 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.200 your phone altogether, but just being aware of it, or 388 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.440 maybe like putting it in another room or something is 389 00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.079 something that I need to do better. 390 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.240 At There's one suggestion that I think is pretty funny, 391 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.400 and that is maybe narrate what you're doing, because. 392 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.680 Yeah, but then it's like, doth protest too much? Like 393 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.720 I'm looking up what Jack Smith did today because I 394 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.839 want to know the legal ramifications and if this has 395 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.920 ever happened in history, and you know, you think about Nixon, 396 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.400 and then by the way, Nixon, when did that happen? 397 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.079 You know what I mean? 398 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:23.799 Like, no one wants to hear. 399 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.559 Your train of thought, my train of thought. It's a 400 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.079 crazy train. People tend to put their phones face down 401 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.200
