WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.360 You're listenings KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show 2 00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:06.400 on demand on the iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.439 F Wayne Resnick's sitting in until nine. 4 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.599 Neil is here, and Amy is here, and ann is 5 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.640 Heren Elmer's here in for KONO and that's your crew 6 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.800 this morning, and some of the stories that we're watching 7 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.679 for you. The government of Israel has told the Biden 8 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.640 administration that when it retaliates against Iran for Iran's missile 9 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.520 strike on Israel, it will not hit nuclear facilities or 10 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.600 oil production sites, two things that the United States was 11 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.000 hoping they would agree not to do. And a bunch 12 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.079 of new lawsuits were filed yesterday against Sean Combs. You've 13 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.679 got men, women, and even a sixteen year old boy 14 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.399 accusing him of sexual assault, drugging of drinks, and various 15 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:02.359 other bad behavior. Hey, yesterday we spent some time talking 16 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.599 about this gasoline law that Governor k Newsom wanted that 17 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.359 makes the oil companies store gasoline so that when they 18 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.599 shut down refineries, there's still enough gasoline out there to 19 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:23.439 avoid price spikes. Well, yesterday, as expected, he signed that law. 20 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:29.680 The next step is for the California Energy Commission to 21 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.200 figure out the details, how much gas do you need 22 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.040 to store, etc. And we were talking about the oil 23 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.319 companies don't like this law. Well guess who else now 24 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.959 has come out and say they don't like this law. 25 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.280 Unionized workers at refineries, they don't like this law. Now 26 00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:02.599 they're saying, this law is going to make our jobs unsafe. 27 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.680 And also, by the way, if. 28 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.080 You don't care that this law is gonna make our 29 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.919 jobs more unsafe, we might lose our jobs. Well, okay, 30 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.879 how would that happen? So they are saying a couple 31 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.639 of things in this law. There's a part of it 32 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.800 that wasn't talked about so much because the focus has 33 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.360 been how will they store the gas? And do they 34 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.840 have enough places to store the gas? And if they 35 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.120 have to build more storage capacity, that'll cost them a 36 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.080 lot of money, and the gas will end up being 37 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.680 expensive anyway, because they you can either have price spikes 38 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.199 because there's not enough gas, or you can have an 39 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.240 increase in the price of gas to pay for what 40 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.639 it cost them to build the storage so that you 41 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.960 don't have the price spikes. It's like pick your pick 42 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.879 your price hike. It's a it's a pick your own 43 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:58.759 price hike. Adventures so the union workers are saying, also 44 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.360 in this law, it allows the state to be involved 45 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.599 in scheduled maintenance at refineries. 46 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.520 It's not entirely clear whether it allows the. 47 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.879 State to dictate when you may or may not do 48 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.479 maintenance on your refinery. But the workers are saying, if 49 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.080 we need to be able to do maintenance on our 50 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:30.080 refineries whenever it's necessary, you cannot even have the thought 51 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.280 in your head that you would want to shut down 52 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.639 a refinery for some maintenance reason and the state telling 53 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:42.759 you no or penalizing you for doing it. And the 54 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.400 idea would be they wouldn't be able to do all 55 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.960 the maintenance that they might think is necessary, and the 56 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.840 next thing, you know, some part of the infrastructure goes 57 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.960 bad and a refinery explodes, and then they are injured 58 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.400 or god forbid killed, And it wouldn't have happened but 59 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.479 for this law. That's what they're talking about with regard 60 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.120 to the safety. And I mean, there was a refinery 61 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:14.639 explosion in twenty fifteen in Torrance. That refinery was owned 62 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.199 by Exon Mobil and two workers were injured. You know, 63 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.759 I don't think we can say that that explosion was 64 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.040 because they were not allowed to do maintenance that they 65 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.759 wanted to do. But they're saying, under certain circumstances, this 66 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.240 is the kind of thing that can happen, and we 67 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.199 don't want that. You have to do the maintenance based 68 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.319 on the condition of the infrastructure and the pipes and 69 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.839 the valves and what their life cycle is, and we 70 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.800 don't want the state stepping in and getting in the 71 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.199 way of those decisions. Now, the status said this, you 72 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.160 can do any maintenance that you need to do. This 73 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.439 is a false claim that you have that we're going 74 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:58.800 to stop you from doing maintenance. But my question is, well, 75 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.199 if you're never going to stop them from doing maintenance, 76 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.600 why is the provision in the law at all. So 77 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.839 that's the one part, and then the other part is 78 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:15.079 that they will lose jobs. And the way that they 79 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:22.519 will lose jobs is because they won't be able to 80 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.480 do as much work as they need to do and 81 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.720 there won't be a need. 82 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.000 For them. 83 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.839 So now you know the problem is now it's it's 84 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.800 a little too late because the law has already been signed, 85 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.240 and I don't know if lawsuits are coming. It's not 86 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.759 clear to me if lawsuits over the law are coming, 87 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:52.639 but complaints have already arrived. And this is one of 88 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.040 those things where, honest to goodness, there's no way to 89 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.759 know how it's going to affect gas prices. Newsom says, oh, 90 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.160 it's going to prevent you from having those price spikes. 91 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.399 Now he can't say, he can't even speculate that it's 92 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.120 not going to raise the normal price of the gallon 93 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.560 of gas. He's saying it'll prevent you from experiencing price spikes. 94 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:19.680 So now you've got to try to do the math 95 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.680 in your head. Do I want to pay a dollar 96 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.720 more a gallon periodically or do I want to pay 97 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.319 fifty cents more gallon all the time? And is this 98 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.199 law going to cause that second situation? And maybe I'd 99 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.959 be happier just in terms of my pocketbook. Maybe I 100 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.560 would be happier occasionally paying a dollar more a gallon 101 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.680 and other times not paying as much. So it's a 102 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.480 real wait and see right now for your gas prices. 103 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.040 All right, let's get some news from Amy King and 104 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:55.480 then Edison High School in Huntingdon Beach has new rules 105 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.879 about students going to the bathroom, and there's an ad 106 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.160 un lying petition by the students saying this new bathroom 107 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.839 policy violates their constitutional rights. 108 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.920 We will get into this controversy in a moment. 109 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.439 It's KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 110 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.319 It is the pill Handle Show, and he is on vacation. 111 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.399 Wayne Resnik is sitting in until nine. Let's talk about 112 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:27.199 Edison High School in Huntington Beach right after I tell 113 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:28.959 you some of the stories that we're watching for you 114 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.600 here on KFI, which include the fact that FEMA personnel 115 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.319 have gone back to their door to door neighborhood outreaches 116 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.160 in the areas that were affected by Hurricane Helen. 117 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.040 This is a post Helen effort, and this. 118 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.800 Is after the cops arrested a guy who was accused 119 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.800 of making threats against FEMA people and also was armed, 120 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.839 and FEMA puts some of their efforts on pause because 121 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.120 they felt it might be too dangerous. And I guess 122 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.240 they they're hopeful now with the intervention of the cops, 123 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.800 that it's safe enough again to try to help these 124 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.480 people out. Also, let's talk with the weather for a second, 125 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.040 because we just mentioned a hurricane. They are expecting a 126 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.439 weak Lannina condition to develop in the next couple of months, 127 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:21.319 and if that happens the oceans. I hope I'm understanding 128 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.160 this right. Yes, the oceans will be cooler than average 129 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:33.360 in the Equatorial Pacific. And if that happens, and if 130 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.320 there is a lanina and it's on the weak side, 131 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.360 which is what they're predicting, this means winter will be 132 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:46.759 warmer than normal. Sorry snow lovers. Now let's talk about 133 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.240 Edison High School, Hontington Beach. They have a new policy 134 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.720 for when you go to the bathroom, and the students 135 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.399 are arguing it's an invasion of their privacy, and not 136 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.799 just loosely saying it's an invasion of our privacy, but 137 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:08.440 actually putting up a petition saying it's a violation of 138 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:15.480 their Fourth Amendment. So here's the new policy. There's a 139 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.799 QR code in the classroom and when you leave the 140 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.120 classroom for any reason. It's not specifically about going to 141 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.240 the bathroom. It's about leaving the classroom for any reason. 142 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.759 But the concerns are largely based on the going to 143 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.320 the bathroom part. So if you're going to the school nurse, 144 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.399 if you have to go to the library for some reason, 145 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.879 if you are going to go use the wellness space 146 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.000 that they have at Edison High School, or the most 147 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.120 common reason because you've got to use the facilities, you 148 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.120 have to scan the code and then when you come back, 149 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.519 you scan the code again. So this is some real 150 00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:03.440 heavy duty tracking of your whereabouts. So the policy is 151 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.120 that you try to limit your time out of the 152 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:12.159 classroom to seven minutes or less, and also that you 153 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.279 only leave the classroom to go to the bathroom, ideally. 154 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.639 No more than three times a day. 155 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.120 Now, the first thing I will tell you is the 156 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.840 school says this is not a strict policy. These are 157 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.559 not These are not strict rules that you are in 158 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:30.320 trouble if you don't follow them. These are guidelines that 159 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.679 we are asking the kids to follow, and apparently not 160 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.480 all the teachers are even bothering to tell their kids, Hey, 161 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:44.240 I want you to follow this policy. So before we 162 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.759 get into the policy and whether it's a problem, first 163 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:48.440 of all, let's. 164 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:48.840 Talk about this. 165 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.639 You can't have a situation where if you want to 166 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.080 have a procedure, let's call this a procedure. It's a 167 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.279 procedure that the school at least would lie the students 168 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:01.840 to follow. 169 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:04.200 You can't have it. 170 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.720 If some teachers are like, I don't care I'm not 171 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.799 gonna even try to make anybody do it, and maybe 172 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.519 you have another teacher who's being pretty strict about it. 173 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.039 You can't operate that way. 174 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.120 So first, the first screw up on the part of 175 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.639 Edison High School, in my opinion, is they didn't make 176 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.879 it clear to the teachers what level of compliance they 177 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.519 wanted on the part of the teachers in terms of 178 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.879 enforcing it or suggesting it or whatever. They obviously, so 179 00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.480 it's bedlam over there in terms of that. 180 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.679 Number two. 181 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.799 The next level is it's very difficult to say to students, hey, 182 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.159 here's a bunch of specific stuff we want you to do, 183 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.399 but you don't. If you don't do it, like, you're 184 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.639 not in trouble and nothing bad's gonna happen to you, 185 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.879 but we'd really like you to do it. That That 186 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.759 is not how you get people to comply with things. 187 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.639 Whenever I've been asked to follow any kinds of procedures 188 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.159 or so forth, that's the first thing I want to know. 189 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.440 Is it a rule and I'm in trouble, it's actionable 190 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:11.799 against me if I don't follow it? 191 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.159 Or does it not matter? 192 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.960 Because if it doesn't matter, I will decide for myself 193 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.039 if I'm going to do it or not. And I've 194 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679 got to believe high school kids are at least as 195 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:28.240 flippant about authority as I am, and understandably, so that's 196 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.639 no good. Either have an actual policy that everybody is 197 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.360 expected to follow and is enforced somehow, or don't. 198 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.360 Just don't. Now, why why are they even doing this? 199 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.679 Is it because they're terribly interested in the bathroom habits 200 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.799 of high school kids? Well, they say no, and I 201 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.559 don't think that they I don't think that's the reason. 202 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:51.720 They say. 203 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:57.679 This is too so we know where students are in 204 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.480 case there is a fire or god forbid. You know 205 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.440 what a school, you know, that's the purpose of the policy. 206 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.360 It's a safety thing. So we know where you are 207 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.519 something happens and you're not in the classroom. We can go, oh, well, yes, 208 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.360 he's not supposed to be in the classroom right now. 209 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.799 He left the classroom and he scanned it. That's what 210 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.679 they're saying. But they also the principal also said Daniel 211 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.159 Morris is his name. But he also said, oh, there's 212 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.840 been a problem with students smoking in the bathrooms and 213 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:37.200 then the fire alarms go off, and so we need 214 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.080 to know who's going to the bathroom and how often 215 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.320 they're going to the bathroom, because if the fire alarms 216 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.559 keep going off, then we can, and this is the 217 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:51.000 best part, we can you know, expel them. No, we 218 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:55.720 can have a discussion with a student or provide them 219 00:13:55.759 --> 00:14:00.240 with extra support. What hey, you know you're smoke looking 220 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.679 in the bathroom and you're setting off the fire alarm. 221 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.120 Is there is there anything we can help you with? 222 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.840 Do you want us to get you some nicotine patches? 223 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.519 So there is this online petition that I told you about, 224 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.080 and it's on where you always put your petitions on 225 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.000 change dot org. And as of right now, I'm looking 226 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.320 at it right now, I'll actually refresh the page just 227 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.440 in case I missed anything. 228 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:23.840 Nope. 229 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.519 So they have a goal of five hundred signatures and 230 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.080 they have four hundred and fifty six signatures. And the 231 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.159 student that started the petition said, Hey, this is a 232 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:44.200 bigger problem than you think, because the students are worried 233 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.759 now that they could get in trouble if they have 234 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.799 to use the bathroom too frequently. 235 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.519 You also have and didn't I didn't know that. I 236 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.240 knew that. 237 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:58.080 I knew that women menstru eight. I knew that, and 238 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.320 I knew that it starts off in high school and 239 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.840 even before so I knew that there are students in 240 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.240 high school who menstr eight. 241 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.480 I knew that, and I knew. 242 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.919 That there's this thing called toxic shock syndrome that can 243 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.759 be very dangerous that is related to the use of tampons. 244 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.399 I knew that. 245 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.720 What I didn't know is that some students, because they 246 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.279 do they're afraid of getting toxic shock syndrome, they change 247 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.440 their pads or their tampons every couple of hours. So 248 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.639 if you're in school for eight hours, that's at least 249 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.240 four times that you would need to go and do that. 250 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.919 So they're saying, hey, we can't have this level of 251 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.919 scrutiny about this behavior because it's gonna make everybody nervous. 252 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.519 They're gonna feel like they're under a microscope. 253 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.799 And also here I'll read from the petition now that 254 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.240 it's inherently unconstitutional. The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable 255 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:59.320 searches and invasions of privacy, and bathroom policies recording the 256 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.519 number and duration of bathroom visits are a well. Here, 257 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.919 it says could be seen as an infringement also that 258 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:14.519 girls often require more bathroom visits, and therefore they this 259 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:19.240 could be a sex discrimination on the part of the policy. 260 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.240 I think that's a reach, but. 261 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.600 I wouldn't want to have to. I don't blame these 262 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.240 kids for not wanting to have to. And we'll see 263 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:35.320 if the school backs off at all or clarifies more 264 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.559 helpfully what the hell it is they're trying to accomplish. 265 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:39.879 Let's get some. 266 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.080 News from Amy King and then you know this Prop 267 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.960 thirty six it's gonna be on the ballot. Prop thirty 268 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.840 six would undo a lot of what Prop forty seven did. 269 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.840 This all has to do with being being tough on crime, 270 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.279 soft on crime. No, let's get tough on crime again. 271 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.320 And there's an interesting wrinkle that just happened involving a 272 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:04.680 million Dollarsalgreens has announced they're going to close twelve thousand stores, 273 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:10.039 not all at once, because they're getting their clock cleaned 274 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.279 by online competitors and also through various insurance programs, the 275 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:21.319 payout for prescription drugs are going down. By twenty twenty seven, 276 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.839 one in seven Wallgreens will be gone. Over the next year, 277 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.599 they'll close five hundred of them. This means it's highly 278 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:35.599 likely that your favorite Walgreens won't be there in three years. 279 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.160 And I don't know if you remember, but it was 280 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.720 just back in June where they said, hey, listen, we're 281 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.640 going to shut down three hundred underperforming locations. We have 282 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.160 a big optimization program going on, and we're going to 283 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.079 do that. And now here they are a few months 284 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.839 later and it's twelve hundred. So if you have a 285 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.640 favorite Walgreens, enjoy it. While you can now onto the 286 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.920 issue of crime and propositions about crime and ideas about crime. 287 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.960 The ideas are basically, be tough on crime, don't be 288 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:12.880 soft on crime. And so you may remember when California 289 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.160 voters passed Proposition forty seven, and this was a swing 290 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.119 towards the idea that we should be softer on crime. 291 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.400 Take some felonies, make them misdemeanors, do some other things, 292 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.960 with the bottom line being send fewer people to prison. 293 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.839 Now you are asked to vote for Prop thirty six, 294 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.160 and Prop thirty six is a takes these backsies on 295 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.680 Prop forty seven. It's going to return some of those 296 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:50.519 crimes to felony status and do some other things. And 297 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.720 it does have at least one component in there that 298 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.599 is designed to be to have it, let's say, a 299 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:04.200 rehabilitative component, and that is more opportunities for treatment for 300 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.039 people who need it, although we have no idea how 301 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.240 that's going to get paid for. A lot of money 302 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.359 being spent for and against in rough terms. At the 303 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:20.279 state level, Republicans like Prop thirty six. 304 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.680 Democrats don't. 305 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.119 That's at the state level, though, when you go down 306 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.880 to the local level, there are all kinds of elected 307 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:35.000 officials and mayors, including Democratic mayors from San Francisco and 308 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.160 San Jose and San Diego who support it. So if 309 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:40.799 you're going to be fair about it, you have to 310 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.440 say it it has bipartisan support. If you don't look 311 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:51.599 only at Sacramento. Newsom doesn't lack it. But I don't 312 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.279 know that that's a surprise. And so here's the thing 313 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:58.279 I told you there was an interesting wrinkle involving a 314 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:04.000 million dollars. The big organization that is that is promoting 315 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:09.480 Proposition thirty six. It's called Californians for Safer Communities. They 316 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.880 have what I'm about to describe is not in any 317 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:19.920 way illegal or even untoward, just so you know, but 318 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.119 it's interesting they've given a million dollars to the California 319 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:31.240 Republican Party, a five hundred thousand dollars contribution on September 320 00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:33.839 twenty and another one on the first of the month. 321 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:36.519 Again totally legal. 322 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.319 I'm not saying anything other than it's interesting because we 323 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:46.440 haven't had the election yet and they feel that they 324 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.880 can take some of the money that they have to 325 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.839 support the proposition and they can give it to the 326 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.279 Republican Party to help the Republican Party. 327 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:56.920 And know what that. 328 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.480 Means is, this is my point, they must be very 329 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:08.079 sure and highly confident that it's gonna pass and that 330 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.119 they do not need every single dollar that they have 331 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:11.880 to promote it. 332 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:13.480 That's what that means. 333 00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.279 And it's probably true because here is a very recent 334 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.799 poll conducted by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies 335 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.960 for Prop thirty six, to basically roll back soft on 336 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:32.559 crime Prop forty seven sixty percent yes, twenty one percent no, 337 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.759 nineteen undecided. So every single person who hasn't made up 338 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.319 their mind yet, even if they all decide to vote 339 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.640 against it, it still passes sixty forty. 340 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.960 Let's get some news from Amy King, and. 341 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.079 Then we're gonna we're gonna talk about a thing that 342 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:57.400 you put in your body. That's very weird, but it's 343 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:03.880 also very popular. Right now, find out what it is. Apparently, 344 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.599 when I was talking about how Walgreens is going to 345 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:10.079 close twelve hundred stores over the next three years, which 346 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.960 is a much bigger set of closures than they originally 347 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.680 announced at one point or maybe it was even more, 348 00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:20.519 I said twelve thousand, which is just that's just mouth. 349 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.640 You know, that's just mouth to brain or brain to 350 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:29.000 mouth communication failure. But I want to give a shout 351 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.640 out to KFI News because it was Carla in the 352 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:36.279 newsroom who heard me unintentionally say twelve thousand instead of 353 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.359 twelve hundred. And you know, I got the word that 354 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.079 I had done it, so that I can come on 355 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.000 and tell you that I know it's twelve hundred, and 356 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:48.039 just please please forgive my addled brain. You know, since 357 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.079 I retired from the morning show full time, I don't 358 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.519 get up at the crack of dawn anymore, so I'm 359 00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:01.880 not used to it. Okay, Irata has been published vocally. 360 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.880 Now let's talk about this very weird thing that you 361 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:10.279 put in your body. A lot of you do, and 362 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:16.119 you love it. You some of you love it a lot. 363 00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:22.319 I'm talking about doctor Pepper. So first let's just agree 364 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.359 and admit doctor Pepy. Even in the world of soda 365 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.640 type beverages, doctor pepper is weird. What the hell does 366 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:36.240 it taste like? Does it taste like cough medicine? Does 367 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.160 it taste like prune juice? Does it taste like a 368 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.599 cherry kind of? Does it taste like licorice? 369 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.640 A little bit? Yes, all of it. 370 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:50.119 It tastes like everything and nothing specific at the same time. 371 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.599 And the reason I'm bringing up doctor Pepper is because 372 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.880 doctor Pepper is on a tear of popularity. It was 373 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.160 very popular when it first came out, and then it 374 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:05.759 was not as popular, and now. 375 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:07.640 It is so popular. 376 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:14.880 That it tied Pepsi last year as the best selling 377 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.279 soda in the United States. 378 00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.839 You have Coke is number one. Coke is always going 379 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:19.480 to be number one. 380 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.480 That's the way it's going to be, and it would 381 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.839 and then it would go Pepsi number two, and then 382 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.799 other stuff down. Doctor Pepper surging tying the regular version 383 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.200 of Pepsi as the second best selling soda in the US. 384 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:34.480 And that said, don't believe me. 385 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:39.279 That's from Beveridge Digest, which you know, if you're gonna 386 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:45.119 trust anything, why not a magazine all about beverages. According 387 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.920 to a consumer research firm called Civic Science, almost twenty 388 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:57.440 five percent of adults in America drink doctor Pepper. So 389 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:01.920 if you're at work right now, look around, if there's 390 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.559 three other people there, for sure want to use drinking 391 00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:09.480 doctor Pepper. And that's up from from just four years 392 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:13.119 ago it was only about sixteen percent drank doctor Pepper 393 00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:17.240 with any regularity, and now it's back. I think part 394 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:20.400 of it is honestly, see, doctor Pepper was always weird, 395 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.200 and the other big companies, Coke and Pepsi, they started 396 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:26.440 getting weird. 397 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.559 I don't know if you got your hands on an 398 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.119 Oreo Coke zero. 399 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.680 I didn't. I couldn't find one. But that's a that's 400 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.079 a recent big thing. It's coke, but it tastes like 401 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:39.599
