WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.839 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf 2 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.200 I A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show 3 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:07.200 on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.119 What's going on in Washington? We find out swamp is horrible, 5 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:12.519 the government doesn't work. 6 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.919 Man, make it like a reality TV show. 7 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.440 Was a bad bos always a pleasure to be anywhere 8 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:20.440 from Washington, DC. 9 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.320 Hey, Joe, a town. 10 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.760 All too clearly built on a swamp and in so 11 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.839 many ways still a swamp. I have to watch make. 12 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:34.119 Boy said, drained the swamp? I said, oh, that's so, you. 13 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:34.600 Know the thing? 14 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:36.280 Well. 15 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.520 A lot of talk in Washington about what's going on 16 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.719 in Russia where President Vladimir Putin today formerly uh formally 17 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.759 excuse me, lowered the threshold for Russia's use of its 18 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.039 nuclear weapons. 19 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.520 This doctrine, this nuclear doctrine by Russia was actually announced 20 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.600 a couple of weeks ago, so it's not unexpected necessarily, 21 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.479 it just looks awful considering the timing of the Biden 22 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.000 administration approving long range missiles being used by Ukraine to 23 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:14.120 target into Russia. They said that this is this now 24 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.200 makes it possible for a nuclear response by Russia to 25 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.040 a conventional strike being long range missiles, for example, formulated 26 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.920 broadly to avoid some sort of firm commitment to use 27 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.439 nuclear weapons and to keep the options open. The Russian 28 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.280 Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has emphasized that the Ukrainian strike 29 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.280 missile strike in Bryansk marked an escalation and urged the 30 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.400 United States and other Western allies to study the new 31 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.400 nuclear doctrine. One of Putin's former spokespeople had come out 32 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:55.359 and said, yes, you may see nuclear war by Christmas. 33 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:04.280 Trump US Confirming the deportation strategy, Trump Transition spokeswoman Caroline 34 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.039 Leavitt said in a statement that President Trump will marshal 35 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.439 every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest 36 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.800 deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers 37 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.240 in American history. The ACLU says they will fight with 38 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.120 legal action. 39 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:26.199 I don't know. 40 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.280 This is what I don't know. 41 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.360 I understand that this is causing a lot of concern 42 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.280 from people who are here illegally. Legal aid centers have 43 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.199 received hundreds of inquiries from people wondering what they should do. 44 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.800 But when you look to that statement and it's criminals 45 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.039 and drug dealers and human traffickers, they're going after the 46 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.400 people who have broken the laws in this country, not 47 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.439 just by crossing the border, but by committing crimes. I 48 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:03.080 don't understand why there's such a fervor over getting rid 49 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.560 of people who are here illegally when you have a 50 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.800 machination to get rid of them, Like if we could 51 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.439 get rid of all criminals, Like, wouldn't that be a 52 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.560 great thing? You could just get them out of the country. 53 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.599 Somebody who goes and kills four people, and if there 54 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.159 was a way to just get them out of the country, 55 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.199 wouldn't that be great? And there's a way, there's a 56 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.719 way for people who are here illegally once they do 57 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.639 stuff that is terrorizing a community, to get them out 58 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.400 of the country. 59 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.319 Well, and then in front of those people even before 60 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.599 they commit crimes here in the United States, it's the 61 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.879 people that have come over that were already convicted of 62 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.439 crimes in the country from sure whence they came that 63 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.560 would be near the top of this list. I don't understand. 64 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:51.240 I understand the logic of, Hey, these are members of 65 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.120 families that you would be breaking up if you had 66 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.400 Uncle Bob deported because of the double murder that he 67 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.439 committed in Fresno. 68 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.759 Well, you should have thought about that before he killed 69 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:03.280 those people. 70 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.400 Do you want Uncle Bob as part of your family 71 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:07.840 if he's a double murderer. 72 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.599 Yeah, that's not the family that you want to protect. 73 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.719 And you know, it's obviously comes to a head locally 74 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.680 because of today's city council decision about sanctuary cities, et cetera. 75 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:20.839 But we've seen. 76 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.120 Tom Holman the incoming borders are who will not be 77 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.120 shying away from that label. He is a former vice 78 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.680 director and he has talked about the potential for the 79 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:37.319 use of military assets specifically, and everybody seems to think 80 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:43.920 that that means that somehow a President Trump, the forty 81 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.959 seventh soon to be president, would order the one hundred 82 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.439 and first Airborne to San Antonio, Texas to wipe out 83 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.959 specific neighborhoods. And that's not at all what he's talking about. 84 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.639 They're talking about the potential for large military vehicles think 85 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.120 C five transport plane to move people to places around 86 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.120 the country, as opposed to paying American Airlines for a 87 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.600 charter jet or something like that. I mean, that's the 88 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.399 kind of assets that they are discussing. They're not putting 89 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.199 army boots on the ground in neighborhoods to go knocking 90 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:17.839 on doors to get people out of there. 91 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.759 Donald Trump was not kidding, turns out, and he said 92 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.439 he'd let Robert F. Kennedy go wild on healthcare transition 93 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.079 team has accelerated efforts to fill several high profile health jobs. 94 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.800 This is a short list of controversial Kennedy allies public 95 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:42.360 health contrarians to lead the FDA, CDC other key elements 96 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:48.759 of the nation's massive health department. You've got Joseph Ladipo, who, 97 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.040 as Florida's top health official, questioned the COVID vaccine safety 98 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:59.040 repeatedly resisted public health recommendations. He is the leading contender 99 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.680 for a senior role at the Department of Health and 100 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.759 Human Services. Casey Means a former surgeon turned wellness influencer 101 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.639 under consideration to service surgeon General. 102 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.279 Wow, that would be significant. 103 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:15.879 I don't know who Casey Means is. 104 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.480 I would be. 105 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.399 She's a fascinating she's a fascinating interview. 106 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.160 She's a former food industry lobbyist. 107 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.839 Yeah, and I know her brother I think is a 108 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.199 former lobbyist. Political reports she is. I think it's her 109 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.040 brother is. I think they got that wrong. But Casey 110 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.319 and Kelly Means have made have been making the rounds 111 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.959 lately in in this space of transforming food supply. 112 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:49.360 Her brother, Oh, I'm sorry, You're right. I was not 113 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.399 reading Kraal because his name is. 114 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.279 Callie, right, it's a confusing name. 115 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.079 It was, You're right, Calli is being discussed as Kennedy's 116 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.600 likely chief of staff. And yes, he was the one 117 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.959 as a former food industry lobbyists, neither of which have 118 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.399 any experience in government. 119 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.600 Which, hey, maybe that's what we right. 120 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.680 So wait, you said she's an interesting interview, Yes, like 121 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:14.600 what's interesting? 122 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.560 I actually heard her interview. I heard both of them. 123 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:23.079 Her she and her brother, doctor Casey Means and Callie 124 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.199 Means interviewed on Tucker Carlson. I mean, listen, take the 125 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.879 Tucker part out of it. I think he's a he's 126 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.600 a whack job in many instances. But it was a 127 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:37.759 fascinating conversation about just the basics of how big companies 128 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.600 and we've said this before. I mean, you mentioned the 129 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.319 fact that so many of former tobacco companies now own 130 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:49.879 food supply food companies, and how they engineer food to 131 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.959 be as addictive as tobacco and to continue you know, 132 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.040 to get customers into the pipeline, and then you get 133 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:58.639 a grip on them. 134 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.279 They can't ever get out of that pipe line. 135 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.360 And drug dealers, it's just it's and it's the simple 136 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.360 basic things about the way our bodies work and what 137 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:13.759 our bodies respond to chemically, physiologically, that we're just sucked 138 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.279 into it and we're not. 139 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:15.680 Aware of it. 140 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.800 The apple, eat the apple, eat the clean apple, or 141 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.240 wash the apple after you buy it because you don't 142 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.399 know what kind of weird stuff. 143 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.360 Is in it. 144 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.279 I mean, I wash my apples. 145 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.279 I sometimes do it. 146 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.600 I'll say it a lot, don't I get close to 147 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.879 the apple. I also don't fluss everyone. 148 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.919 I'm not going to walk over to the sink and 149 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:35.879 want apple. 150 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.399 I totally dirty apple. I eat more dirty apples than 151 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:40.759 I do clean. Let's be honest. 152 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.600 There's a doctor that talks about the way that food 153 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:49.600 giants food companies have made us sick, how they use 154 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:54.600 these ultra processed foods to hook us, catch us, and 155 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.639 we stuff we don't even think about, stuff like the 156 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.120 sound of the food when you pull it off the 157 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.639 grocery store shelf. Really, and how we are just big 158 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.240 dumb animals and we just stick that stuff in our mouth. 159 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.000 I can't wait to get into that. 160 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.879 So we'll do that at the bottom the album. 161 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.440 Numerous Republican lawmakers told Donald Trump and his team that 162 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.360 they believe his pick for attorney general has a little 163 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.159 chance of being confirmed. This is according to several Senate 164 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.519 Republicans and people around Trump. They're privately hoping Trump doesn't 165 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.039 make them walk the plank. 166 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.159 Allegedly, he's been calling individual senators lobbying on behalf of 167 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.039 mac Ay. What does that conversation sound like. 168 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.039 Oh, well, you know, we need to shake up the 169 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.279 Department of Justice. He'll get in there and you know, 170 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.639 and he'll shake it up, and he'll do what we want. 171 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.000 He'll protect our friends. 172 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:51.600 I don't know. 173 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.480 Yeah, I'm curious. 174 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:04.480 Also is the I'm curious also about why the conspiracy 175 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.840 theory behind why choosing Matt Why do you choose Matt 176 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.240 Gates if you know he's going to have such an 177 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.159 uphill climb and now it looks more and more likely 178 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.720 every day that he would not be confirmed as attorney general. 179 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:19.200 They say, Knowing how toxic a character they're dealing with, 180 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.960 Senate Republicans are worried about getting tarnished by the process. 181 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.000 They fear that senators up for reelection in twenty six, 182 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.000 including Tom Tillis, could face a maga primary challenge if 183 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.200 they oppose Gates's nomination, while possibly kissing their seats goodbye 184 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:42.000 in a general election if they back him. Interesting, that's 185 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:47.039 the whole walking the plank thing. Uh, It's not just 186 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.120 the politically vulnerable who are fretting. 187 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.480 They say. 188 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.679 There's a fear that Trump is going to waste precious 189 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:55.360 political capital trying to push Gates through when he could 190 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.679 instead be working on advancing more feasible nominations, not to 191 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.159 mention his governing agenda the. 192 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.240 Way it's written up in The New York Times today, 193 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.200 Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, they talk about these private 194 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.159 conversations that the President elect is supposedly having, and he 195 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.840 admits that his choice for Attorney General has less than 196 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.000 even odds of being confirmed by the Senate. 197 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.759 But he's made no motion. 198 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.840 Visibly at least of withdrawing the nomination or Gates withdrawing 199 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.639 his own name from nomination the way Steve Bannon puts it. 200 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.799 By the way, I can't believe we're still quoting Steve 201 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.120 Bannon these days, but Donald Trump is a blunt force 202 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:40.720 instrument applying blunt force trauma to the system. We know 203 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.039 that Bannon's close with Trump, but he's not part of 204 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.639 this transition at all. President Elect Trump's sentencing in the 205 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.360 criminal hush money trial has been paused. The judge overseeing 206 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.000 that case is trying to figure out how to move 207 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.960 forward after he won election election. I'll say that if 208 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.320 Judge wanmershan Is misses the case, it would be a 209 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.919 huge win for Trump. But at this point all they're 210 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:11.919 doing is no additional details on the docket. The decision 211 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.120 on Trump's request for a new trial is also expected 212 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.519 as soon as today. There are a couple of different options. 213 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.399 Most legal pundits say there's really only two. One is 214 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:29.000 you delay sentencing until twenty twenty nine, when Trump is 215 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.480 out of office, or you just dismiss the case altogether, 216 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.679 because nobody has an appetite to sit. 217 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:42.639 Around for four years waiting for the term to end. 218 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.840 Speaker Mike Johnson says he's working on a solution to 219 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:53.519 address Republican concerns about transgender women using women's restrooms on 220 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:59.039 the House side of Capitol Hill. This is as representative Alex. 221 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.440 Sarah McBride poise to assume office is the first openly 222 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.960 transgender lawmaker. In January, Johnson said, this is an issue 223 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.440 that Congress has never had to address before, and we're 224 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.039 going to do that in a deliberate fashion, and we 225 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.559 will accommodate the needs of every single person. Nancy Mace 226 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:23.600 out of North Carolina, North Carolina, isn't it oh, leader 227 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.840 of the effort to bar transgender women from women's bathrooms. 228 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.960 She and in her shy both sides need to put 229 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.879 down the transgender bathroom thing. 230 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.720 In her statement, Nancy May said Sarah McBride doesn't get 231 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.679 a say, I mean, this is a biological man. She 232 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.200 said that the lawmaker does not belong in women's spaces, 233 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.360 women's bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, period, full stop. She wrote, 234 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.080 did Sarah McBride everyday Americans go to work with people 235 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.600 who have life journeys different than their own and engage 236 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.919 with them respectfully. I hope members of Congress can muster 237 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.000 that same kindness. This is going to get down to 238 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.639 the question. Unfortunately for Sarah McBride, it's and the rest 239 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.600 of us and the other three hundred and forty million 240 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.639 people is what do you what do you? 241 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:09.600 What do you packing? 242 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.200 What's what's what cargoes in them? Cargo shorts of yours? 243 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.159 Because I think for a lot of people, that's the 244 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:22.200 delineating factor in which bathroom you use if. 245 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:23.039 You have a penis? 246 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.159 Yeah, how is. 247 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:26.080 That anyone's business? 248 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.559 Well, if you were standing next, I guess you, guys 249 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.159 don't stand No, if you were in a bathroom and 250 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.279 Sarah McBride whips out or honker. 251 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.879 I wouldn't know. But it's it's not our right to 252 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.519 know if she has a penis or not. 253 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.639 Well, that's what I'm saying. 254 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.720 I mean that, that's why, that's why this is an 255 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.159 issue that doesn't seem to have any sort of actual 256 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.320 conclusion to it, because I don't know if Nancy Mace 257 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.720 knows whether or not Sarah McBride I I can heat 258 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.000 or not. 259 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.320 I don't know how that sentence escaped my mouth as 260 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.440 easily as it did. How do I know if she 261 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:04.080 has a penis or not? I said it with all 262 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.799 due seriousness, very serious, very serious. But I don't want 263 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.679 to spend any more time talking about women with penis. 264 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.679 It's in a Capitol hill. 265 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.639 We're asking Mike Johnson to come up with an answer 266 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:16.960 on this. 267 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.320 Yeah, Mike Johnson, Am I right, No, that's not. 268 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:21.840 What I meant. 269 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.919 Oh, you've started the penis talk. 270 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.639 You said, what's in the cargo pants? 271 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.879 Well, that's that's because I think that's what people worry about. 272 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.679 I don't think so. 273 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.480 I've never encountered a penis or otherwise in a bathroom. 274 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:42.919 I've never encountered anybody's genitals in the bathroom. Okay, except 275 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.440 for that one time in Philadelphia when I was sitting 276 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.320 down peeing and I looked to my right and there 277 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.240 were the feet were pointed towards the toilet, which meant 278 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.519 that that guy's penis. It was one what's the partition 279 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.639 away from my face? 280 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.960 What's the difference between that I'm congresswoman and doing it 281 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.360 in the halls of Congress where you're sitting doing your 282 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.799 biz right, and Sarah walks up in her high heels, 283 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.399 drops trou AND's facing the toilet like a real man. 284 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.200 I don't know. 285 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.960 I don't know if it would bother me less if 286 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.480 if the person was in heels, I think I would 287 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.759 take some of the sting away. It's one way to 288 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.799 put it, because this was like a man. There's like 289 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.279 dude shoes, stranger penis right there. 290 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.879 Well that's not a straight that would be also a 291 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.360 stranger's Jenna tailor. 292 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.639 Yeah, but she probably doesn't want to use it. 293 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:38.799 And you think that guy did. 294 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:40.559 All men want to use it? 295 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.279 Okay, well then how I'm lost? Now I'm lost? 296 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.519 All right, we'll talk about it. 297 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.639 I can't find the trail back. The forest has closed 298 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.360 in around me. 299 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.679 Now I know that got away from us. 300 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.200 Man, I want to get right into this story. This 301 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:07.480 is fascinating. There's a new documentary and it's called Irresistible 302 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:14.440 and it's about the tricks of food giants that make 303 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.920 us addicted to bad foods. And this sentence hit me 304 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.440 like a ton of bricks. 305 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.240 Hit me like a title wave. 306 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.680 Yeah, whoa, that kind of worked its way in my brain. 307 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.640 What a dumb animal I am? 308 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.039 Yes, you can say that again, What a. 309 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.000 Dumb animal I am? 310 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.279 If this is the line we need to bury the 311 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.559 idea of the obesity crisis as a failure of willpower, 312 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.279 that people are just making bad choices, that they're lazy, 313 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.279 that it's their fault. 314 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:55.480 It's not, it's it should be. 315 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.440 That is an eye opening statement right now, it does 316 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.400 an excuse whose are bad habits, but it at least 317 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.160 points to why it is so difficult to stop. 318 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.039 In the documentary, the scientists who were at the dawn 319 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.640 of this billion dollar industry of super processed foods explain 320 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.680 the hidden tricks and techniques that have been perfected to 321 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.119 get inside our minds and our appetites, not just to 322 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:28.000 make ultra processed food appealing but addictive for most of us. 323 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.119 Yeah, because remember the point of a food company is 324 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.160 not to make you healthy. 325 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.039 The point of a food company is to sell food. 326 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.920 So they have more and more. 327 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.279 Yeah, and they have scientists that perfect these recipes, test 328 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:46.119 and perfect them every aspect of every food product to 329 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.519 drive maximum consumption. 330 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.680 They go on. 331 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:59.000 An experimental psychologist called doctor Howard Moskowitz revolutionize the food 332 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:04.319 industry by developing the concept called the bliss point. He 333 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.960 was contacted by the bosses at Campbell's Soup to ask 334 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.960 if he could help their pasta sauce sell better. Tried 335 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:16.039 forty five different versions of the sauce recipe on consumers, 336 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:21.799 asked them to rate the deliciousnessness. He discovered that by 337 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.319 hitting an optimum amount of sugar, fat, or salt, in 338 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.480 a dish which is obviously more, but not too much more. 339 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.960 He could make the people think that the entire recipe 340 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:35.240 was better overall. 341 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.079 He yeah, that's what he came up, that bliss point. 342 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.519 He did it with doctor Pepper, he did it with tropicana, 343 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.759 he did it with spam. And they said that this 344 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.480 has been sort of the the or was the beginning 345 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.759 of this ultra processed food plan. 346 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.720 Basically perfect combination between salt and sugar and fat because 347 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:03.279 it's hitten all the thing, right, sweet and savory. 348 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:04.200 Oh fat. 349 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.319 Okay, but that's just one of the tricks, and that's 350 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.160 the one that was probably going to be the easiest 351 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.279 to come up with. Here's another thing. There's a neuroscientist 352 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.279 who worked for Unilever. First of all, what a neuroscientist 353 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.960 working for a giant food company like that? Yes, introducing 354 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:26.799 MRI brain MRI brain scanning to dig deeper into your preferences. 355 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.559 So what he and his team did was they put 356 00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.839 volunteers into brain scanners and then feed him ice cream 357 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.960 and see what happens to your brain. They said that 358 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:40.480 their brains orbitofrontal cortex reward system was glowing like a furnace, 359 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.039 which is why when you have two spoonfuls of ice 360 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.240 cream you cannot put that thing back. 361 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.480 In the freezer. Oh my gosh, how about this one. 362 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.440 There's another one. 363 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:54.839 Soft food short circuits your brain's satiety mechanism, so that 364 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.319 you eat much more of the soft food than you 365 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:02.640 would of crunchy food. Think of it a carrot. You 366 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.759 eat a carrot, you got to spend some time on it. 367 00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.759 You gotta work it, You gotta break that thing down. 368 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.359 You eat a piece of cheese. 369 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:15.680 With the work that you too to break down the 370 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.039 carrot tells your brain you should be full by the 371 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.279 time that hits your belly. But if you do it 372 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:24.200 with soft food, it short circuits that. And they even 373 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:28.680 point to things like cheesy orange puffs because yes they're crunchy, 374 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.640 but they so immediately lose that and you can squish 375 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:33.880 them around with your tongue. 376 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:36.279 Wait, there's more. 377 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.279 How often you eat is now being dictated by the 378 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:46.839 way that they market these foods. Breakfast snack is a 379 00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:50.319 breakfast shake. Don't sit down, don't chew on it, don't 380 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:52.519 do anything like that. It would make your body tell 381 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.359 you that it's full. Just have a shake to go, 382 00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.160 Just have a little protein bar after your gym workout, 383 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:06.039 mid afternoon, snack like a veggie straw, and then in 384 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.200 the evening others sharing snacks. Maybe you rip out a 385 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.400 bag of chips for you and the loved ones. 386 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.039 The veggie straws crack me up because it's like, I 387 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:16.440 know what you're doing. 388 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.559 You're trying to. 389 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.480 Make me feel like I'm snacking on vegetables by making 390 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.279 them look like vegetable colors, but I'm really eating cheetos. 391 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:34.680 Right, how about this one? Noises that make you eat more? 392 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.160 The noise made when you pick up a food packet 393 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:47.920 has been carefully manufactured to make the food sound irresistible. 394 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.880 Like a bag of Doritos. 395 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.519 Yes, that's exactly right. Yeah. 396 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.440 The crinkly noises from the packaging carefully tuned to make 397 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.759 you think, oh, this must be really fresh. 398 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.079 It's gonna crunch when I bite into this. 399 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:08.279 There are sound engineers that work for food companies. 400 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.240 It's called sonic branding. For example, when you pull open 401 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.640
