Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand this Malfi.
Speaker 2: AM six forty more stimulating talk and on demand anytime
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. All right, Imagine that you own a
Speaker 2: company and for years you've been trying to find your lane.
Speaker 2: You've been really nailing that brand. You don't worry so
Speaker 2: much about the others. You're really trying to You're really
Speaker 2: trying to.
Speaker 3: Own your lane.
Speaker 2: You think of you think of some big brands out there,
Speaker 2: and you go, okay, Taco Bell is gonna own the cheap,
Speaker 2: fast Mexican food lane.
Speaker 3: Boom.
Speaker 2: Now they've got competitors, but Taco Bell nationwide, they're the
Speaker 2: big ones.
Speaker 3: Right, So imagine that you own that lane and you
Speaker 3: own it hard.
Speaker 2: And then imagine, just imagine if Taco Bell's owners came
Speaker 2: out and said, you know what, we don't really like
Speaker 2: Mexican food. We want to support all of the non
Speaker 2: Mexican food things out there. In fact, we're really gonna
Speaker 2: start pushing sushi. Probably not great for Taco Bell's brand.
Speaker 2: Should something like that happen, right, Is that fair to
Speaker 2: say if all of a sudden, the owner of Taco
Speaker 2: Bell came out and said, my food is great, but
Speaker 2: also I'm gonna put all of my effort into pushing sushi,
Speaker 2: probably not gonna be really good for Taco Bell, especially
Speaker 2: if part of the push for sushi is to limit
Speaker 2: things like I don't know, for holes. That's basically what's
Speaker 2: happening when you look at what's going on in DC,
Speaker 2: which is why we're seeing the stock prices and the
Speaker 2: sales more importantly dropping for Tesla. Tesla's being protested as
Speaker 2: people are upset with Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: They're taking it out in his business.
Speaker 2: They can't protest Starlink because it's tough to get protesters
Speaker 2: in space A lot of people would like to, it's
Speaker 2: very difficult to protest some of the other stuff the SpaceX.
Speaker 2: But what they can do is they can show up
Speaker 2: but Tesla's showrooms and start protesting.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what people are doing nationwide.
Speaker 4: There are about two hundred people lined up here along
Speaker 4: Colorado Street, which is in front of the Tesla's.
Speaker 3: Showroom by the way, NBCLA.
Speaker 4: The protesters were demanding that people sell their Tesla cars
Speaker 4: and stock. Now, these protests are happening all over the area.
Speaker 4: We also saw one in Glendale held by the same group.
Speaker 4: They were holding signs and encouraging drivers to hank and
Speaker 4: support as they went by. The group. Rally for Democracy
Speaker 4: is organizing these protests. This movement is in response to
Speaker 4: Elon musks position in President Donald Trump's administration and roll
Speaker 4: in the Department of Government Efficiency. Similar rallies are taking
Speaker 4: place around the world, which started back into February.
Speaker 3: What I don't understand, I just I get it.
Speaker 2: We have turned vehicles and this is one of the
Speaker 2: things that makes in the American car culture so great
Speaker 2: is that vehicles are part of our identity.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: If you drive certain cars, we make certain assumptions about someone,
Speaker 2: and someone who has certain character traits will purchase they're
Speaker 2: attracted to certain cars. For instance, if you're driving a
Speaker 2: mini van that has a bunch of stick figure stickers
Speaker 2: in the back window, we assume that you are a
Speaker 2: family oriented person and obnoxious. If you drive a lifted
Speaker 2: pickup truck, we assume that you are a dude and obnoxious.
Speaker 2: If you drive a sports cars your daily driver, we
Speaker 2: assume that you have some insecurities and are obnoxious. If
Speaker 2: you drive a subar ru, we assume that you eat
Speaker 2: granola and you support LGBTQIA initiatives, right, and you probably
Speaker 2: want to coexist sticker.
Speaker 3: Elon's pivot to Maga.
Speaker 2: Would be akin to Subaru declaring that they need to
Speaker 2: stop hippies and end LGBTQYA initiatives.
Speaker 3: They would never do that because they know they're lane.
Speaker 2: Elon's pivot is the worst marketing pivot ever. It's worse
Speaker 2: than when Coke did the whole New Coke thing back
Speaker 2: in the eighties. It is the worst ever. And so
Speaker 2: that's why last week you saw President Trump with Elon
Speaker 2: on the on the lawn at the White House. Come
Speaker 2: on down to Crazy. Don's use Tesla lot. We got
Speaker 2: Tesla's they're they're great. Tesla cars and Tesla cyber truck.
Speaker 3: They're great.
Speaker 2: You should buy one today to support Elon, and not
Speaker 2: buying one should be illegal.
Speaker 3: You can't boycott our Tesla truck. That would be illegal
Speaker 3: and un American.
Speaker 2: You should go back to boycotting other things like cancel
Speaker 2: Culture and bud Light, but not Elon. Buy is cyber
Speaker 2: truck today, maybe delivered soon, unless it's not. Because also
Speaker 2: in the news, el On Musk's Tesla has been forced
Speaker 2: to halt sales of cyber trucks because metal panels keep
Speaker 2: falling off. Yeah, customers that are posting on the Cyber
Speaker 2: Truck Owners Club website as well as on Twitter, they
Speaker 2: say that the deliveries are on hold.
Speaker 3: The website electric.
Speaker 2: So the decision was taken amid increasing instances of trim
Speaker 2: and panels flying off.
Speaker 3: The supposedly bulletproof electric truck.
Speaker 2: Now, imagine if you have spent the last few years
Speaker 2: saying that electric vehicles and the push to electric use
Speaker 2: is bad for the country, and you've been saying that
Speaker 2: we have to have fossil fuels and you'll never buy
Speaker 2: one of those golf carts, and you've been taking this
Speaker 2: tack for years, and then all of a sudden you're
Speaker 2: told up everything you've been led to believe in the
Speaker 2: Church of Petrol was false. Now you should buy the evs.
Speaker 2: You should buy them because it's the American thing to do.
Speaker 3: Also, they're one hundred grand who's doing that? Who has
Speaker 3: the extra one hundred thives.
Speaker 2: It's one thing if you want to show your support
Speaker 2: by buying a red hat that cost you twenty five bucks.
Speaker 2: Twenty five bucks doesn't make or break things. One hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to somebody in the middle of Arkansas to
Speaker 2: buy a truck whose parts fall off to replace their
Speaker 2: lifted f one fifty to get stuck in the mud
Speaker 2: without a charger nearby for one hundred grand. I don't
Speaker 2: see that making up for the damage that musk is
Speaker 2: doing to the brand. It's just not happening. Take a
Speaker 2: check on news KFI AM six forty Chris Merrill live
Speaker 2: everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3: I Am six forty on demand anytime the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: According to the mayor and the LA Police Department Chief,
Speaker 2: you are safer.
Speaker 3: Than you have been in a very long time.
Speaker 2: Their Karen bass LAPD Chief Jim McDonald pulling a news
Speaker 2: conference yesterday and they say you are safer and you
Speaker 2: can thank us for that.
Speaker 3: You're welcome from our friends at ABC seven.
Speaker 5: Homicides were down fourteen percent, with forty seven less people
Speaker 5: killed in the city of Los Angeles be.
Speaker 3: Forty seven fewer people killed, but go.
Speaker 5: On in twenty twenty four compared to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: There was also a nineteen percent decrease when it comes
Speaker 5: to shooting victims felony hit and runs also saw a
Speaker 5: drop of just over six percent. Despite the progress, local
Speaker 5: leaders acknowledge there is more work to be done.
Speaker 6: Any crime is unacceptable to us, and we know that
Speaker 6: everyone standing here today knows that we must continue to
Speaker 6: approach this issue with urgency and precision.
Speaker 2: Oh, urgency and precision. Oh, she's saying some really important
Speaker 2: stuff there.
Speaker 3: That is.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that gives you insight, not
Speaker 2: platitudes and talking points. Thank goodness, we've got specificity from
Speaker 2: the mayor who says crime bad.
Speaker 3: We don't like crime, We should uncrime.
Speaker 5: The mayor and police chief acknowledge at street racing is
Speaker 5: still a problem that they're actively trying to combat. Another
Speaker 5: issue they're dealing with hiring more police officers to join
Speaker 5: the force. As far as how twenty twenty five is
Speaker 5: looking in terms of crime, here's a police chief himself.
Speaker 7: So far this year we've seen a reduction in all
Speaker 7: major crime categories compared to the same time last year.
Speaker 7: We're optimistic that we can continue on the trend that
Speaker 7: we're seeing. But right now we're in a good spot and.
Speaker 5: Moving forward, to Chief McDonald says, a big focus again
Speaker 5: is on building that trust with the community so they
Speaker 5: can feel comfortable coming to police officers and speaking with
Speaker 5: them openly and building that relationship. Another focus, of course.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a lot of community policing nonsense to me.
Speaker 2: The last thing we want to do is the community
Speaker 2: trusting their cops.
Speaker 3: What's next, All.
Speaker 2: Of a sudden, politicians are bad guys now, unbelievable.
Speaker 5: Another focus, of course, on a staffing and keeping the
Speaker 5: community safe, reporting live and boil heights on that ABC seven.
Speaker 3: I wouldness thank you so much. I appreciate that. So
Speaker 3: what do we have?
Speaker 2: They claim homicides are down fourteen percent. Now listen, relax,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why I'm skeptical here. Homicides on
Speaker 2: fourteen percent last year compared with twenty twenty three, fewer
Speaker 2: people being hit by gunfire. Well, that seems positive. I
Speaker 2: hate the idea that we just have random people being
Speaker 2: hit by gunfire. Anyway, sitting in police officials say that
Speaker 2: this is all there. Listen, this is our doing. But
Speaker 2: as we know, any crime is bad, and we're still
Speaker 2: going to press forward with urgency and a sense of
Speaker 2: duty and blah blah blah blah blah. They're also all
Speaker 2: excited about taking guns off the streets, including seventy six
Speaker 2: one hundred firearms from last year. They said that ten
Speaker 2: percent of those are all ghost guns. Oh, you're gonna
Speaker 2: don't know how you stop that. All you can do
Speaker 2: is take them. Oh you're gonna stop people from putting
Speaker 2: them together. Shootings down, they say, almost twenty percent from
Speaker 2: last year. Uh, they're being proactive. With more words from
Speaker 2: your corporate bingo card. Here's the problem is that the
Speaker 2: data that we're getting is for the last year, which
Speaker 2: is fine. The department, though, switch the way they count crime.
Speaker 2: There's there's the trouble that we're having. So as with anything,
Speaker 2: if all of a sudden you change your well, i'm
Speaker 2: not gonna say accounting procedures, but if you change the
Speaker 2: way that you're tracking things, you may see a change.
Speaker 2: If if and I'm trying to think of an example here,
Speaker 2: if all of a sudden, you go from using miles
Speaker 2: two kilometers, all of a sudden, your car is gonna
Speaker 2: look like it's traveled a lot further because the numbers
Speaker 2: have changed. The numbers have changed, but what those numbers
Speaker 2: reflect are different. So even LAPD officials they did it,
Speaker 2: they had small print. While they were taking credit, patting
Speaker 2: themselves on the back. They said, also, year over year
Speaker 2: comparisons are nearly impossible for certain types of crimes since
Speaker 2: the department switched to a new record keeping system this year,
Speaker 2: So they don't really know, they say, we don't really
Speaker 2: know if this is true. We don't really know if
Speaker 2: this is accurate. Even by our own admission, we're not sure.
Speaker 2: But based on what we have right now, we're just
Speaker 2: gonna take credit anyway, because politicians and why wouldn't you
Speaker 2: just take credit.
Speaker 3: While you could. So that's what's happening. Just the same.
Speaker 2: If there is any truth to what they're saying, that's great.
Speaker 2: We like to feel a little bit safer. The trouble is,
Speaker 2: we don't know if there's truth to what they're saying, because,
Speaker 2: by their own admission, the data is being counted differently,
Speaker 2: and they say, it's nearly impossible.
Speaker 3: To keep track of So.
Speaker 2: Why are you out and touting your own accomplishments, because
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you be That's what being a politician.
Speaker 3: Is all about.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, And people don't like Bass right now
Speaker 2: because she was out of the country when the fires hit,
Speaker 2: and then she blamed not knowing wind. So she's trying
Speaker 2: to try to she's trying to put some wins in
Speaker 2: her column, but it's not really working out.
Speaker 3: It's not going great.
Speaker 2: Okay, if I am six forty, we're live everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3: Why am I am six forty? More stimulating talk Chris Merril.
Speaker 2: This week there was a much as a number of
Speaker 2: code talkers disappeared from military websites. The history of the
Speaker 2: code Talkers, which used to be on the Department of
Speaker 2: Defense website, vanished. If you're unfamiliar to the code talkers,
Speaker 2: especially the Navajo code talkers who the most famous. All
Speaker 2: the code talkers were used throughout history Chalk, Taus, Comanche, Navajo, others.
Speaker 2: But the Navajo code talkers basically developed a code in
Speaker 2: World War Two using their own language that the Germans
Speaker 2: couldn't decipher. They couldn't get to it. Now, if you'll recall,
Speaker 2: the Germans were very very good. Listen, I'm getting old,
Speaker 2: and I realized about the time I hit forty. Suddenly
Speaker 2: all those World War Two documentaries on the History Channel
Speaker 2: became fascinating to me. You'll recall the Germans of World
Speaker 2: War Two were very very good at their codes, at
Speaker 2: disguising their messages. We couldn't break it. In fact, it
Speaker 2: was only after the development of the Enigma machine that
Speaker 2: we were able to do. So it was basically the
Speaker 2: first computer. We allowed for the machine to UH to
Speaker 2: decipher it. Because the Germans had a way of changing
Speaker 2: their code every day, it seemed to be a completely
Speaker 2: random pattern. So suppose you're doing one of those ciphers
Speaker 2: in the in the newspaper or online or wherever you
Speaker 2: do it, and uh and and and you have to
Speaker 2: try to figure out what it says. And you're and
Speaker 2: you're trying to break the code, and you're going, okay,
Speaker 2: well this squiggly line this I figured out that this
Speaker 2: squiggly line that equals a D. So then you go
Speaker 2: through all the cipher and you find all the squiggly
Speaker 2: lines and you go, that's a D. And then from
Speaker 2: there you try to figure out the rest of it. Right,
Speaker 2: that's it. Well, imagine if every time you got to one,
Speaker 2: the whole thing changed.
Speaker 3: The whole thing changed. So no, Allan Turing was the guy.
Speaker 2: He's kind of considered to be the father of modern computers,
Speaker 2: because he had this notion, rather than trying to get
Speaker 2: people who are good at crosswords and ciphers in the paper,
Speaker 2: why don't we get a machine that can figure out
Speaker 2: these codes, and it'll be able to do it faster
Speaker 2: than we can now. They didn't have the kind of
Speaker 2: machinery and chips that we did, obviously, because they didn't
Speaker 2: have computers then, so it was a very mechanical system.
Speaker 2: But he made it work and they were able to
Speaker 2: use this Enigma machine to decipher the code, and that
Speaker 2: gave us an advantage on the Germans.
Speaker 3: On the American side, we didn't have any of this.
Speaker 2: We didn't worry about Germany's technological superiority to decipher our
Speaker 2: codes because what we did is we took a dead language.
Speaker 2: Well to the rest of the world anyway, the Navajo
Speaker 2: were still using it, which is why it was known.
Speaker 2: We took a language that the rest of the world
Speaker 2: didn't know. They had no idea, they didn't know what
Speaker 2: these different sounds meant. They didn't have any interpreters. They
Speaker 2: didn't have so they're trying to decipher a language with
Speaker 2: no key. There was no well, this sound means this
Speaker 2: letter or this phrase could potentially mean this. They couldn't
Speaker 2: decipher it for squat And it was all based on
Speaker 2: that ancient not ancient, but that Navajo language which had
Speaker 2: been around for for hundreds of years or more. So
Speaker 2: the Navajo stepped up. The Navajo soldiers spoke in this language.
Speaker 2: The Germans couldn't decipher it, and the way that we
Speaker 2: were then eventually able to decipher their codes using our
Speaker 2: computing expertise, they couldn't do it. So in many ways
Speaker 2: it was the code talkers who gave us an advantage
Speaker 2: in the war, including iwo Jima, six code talkers. Ewogima
Speaker 2: sent more than eight hundred messages with zero errors. Part
Speaker 2: of the reason that we had the Navajo in the
Speaker 2: military was because there was an emphasis.
Speaker 3: On diversity in the military. They wanted diversity.
Speaker 2: Because they knew there was strength in having people with
Speaker 2: different backgrounds who could then bring different skills, and in
Speaker 2: the case of the code talkers, they brought an entire
Speaker 2: language that nobody else could speak, and it was the
Speaker 2: most effective encryption that anyone had during World War two.
Speaker 2: And again, as I mentioned, we said this happened in
Speaker 2: the past. Choctaw World War one Comanche also in World
Speaker 2: War Two. We've seen this happen before. So President Trump
Speaker 2: signs the DEI Executive Order. We're gonna get all diversity,
Speaker 2: We're gonna get all equality, we're gonna get all inclusion
Speaker 2: and anything that promotes those things out of the military.
Speaker 2: And so they said, we're gonna scrub all the websites
Speaker 2: of any of this stuff. And what they do, they
Speaker 2: scrubbed the website. At least ten articles that mentioned the
Speaker 2: code Talkers disappeared from the US Army and the Department
Speaker 2: of Defense websites.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: As one might expect, all Hell Broke Loues people were
Speaker 2: not very excited about the fact that we've just decided
Speaker 2: to erase history because we're afraid it might be too inclusionary.
Speaker 2: After Hell breaks loose, suddenly we go, this isn't gonna
Speaker 2: be great. By the way, there are also other DEI
Speaker 2: labels that are on the website to go this has
Speaker 2: been removed in compliance with the executive order that those
Speaker 2: would include things like Civil War nurses, Black veterans, and
Speaker 2: their units, including the Harlem Hell Fighters, the seven hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty first Take Battalion, the five hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: fifth parachute infantry, also Latino airmen who coordinated mental health
Speaker 2: support for military personnel.
Speaker 3: That story was deleted.
Speaker 2: The Army removed pages about the fifty fourth Massachusetts Regiment,
Speaker 2: the Women Air Force Service pilots all removed.
Speaker 3: It's not going over very well because we go wait
Speaker 3: a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 2: Are you telling me that this cut has been woke
Speaker 2: and that much of our history is based on wokeness?
Speaker 2: I guess that's what a melting pot is all about.
Speaker 8: On certain topics, including Navajo Code Talkers, there's a banner
Speaker 8: on the DoD's website saying content has been revised or
Speaker 8: removed to align with the President's executive order that has
Speaker 8: to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Speaker 3: I just said that.
Speaker 8: I've been looking at archived websites from earlier this month.
Speaker 8: An error now shows up. A DoD spokesperson told ABC
Speaker 8: fifteen they will restore the content with the Navajo Code
Speaker 8: Talkers saying had been removed. Quote during the auto removal process.
Speaker 2: We didn't know anybody who's gonna throw a fit about this,
Speaker 2: but now that they have, we're going to get it right.
Speaker 8: President Trump previously hosted Code talkers in the White House
Speaker 8: commending them.
Speaker 3: Nava, that's true.
Speaker 2: In fact, I had that audio and since deleted it
Speaker 2: because I'm terrible at saving audio. He did have them
Speaker 2: at the White House and he commended them, and he
Speaker 2: was very thankful, and then he pointed out that Elizabeth
Speaker 2: Warren is Pocahontas Navajo Nation.
Speaker 8: President emphasized they should not be lumped into DEI initiatives.
Speaker 9: We have different unique relationship with the federal government is
Speaker 9: a sovereign to sovereign relationship. It's not based upon race,
Speaker 9: and it's more of a political relationship.
Speaker 8: It's currently unclear when the content will be fully restored.
Speaker 10: You can look at this and say, these are just
Speaker 10: you know, small incidents that are happening, but when you
Speaker 10: add them up, and as a historian, you know, especially
Speaker 10: of World War Two, seeing this, it's downright scary.
Speaker 8: I Melanie Dow ABC fifteen, Arizona.
Speaker 3: What so we don't learn our history? What could possibly
Speaker 3: go wrong? Okay?
Speaker 2: If I AM six forty, we're live everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: AM sixty more stimulating talk Chris Merrill no More ratty kids,
Speaker 2: it's your a hotel.
Speaker 3: Hey goodness, I am a grump.
Speaker 2: I love kids in small doses, and certainly not when
Speaker 2: I'm trying to sleep. There is a resort in Encinnitas
Speaker 2: that has recently come recently become Southern California is only
Speaker 2: adults only ocean front resort, according to the La Times.
Speaker 2: Now some are saying, well, that's illegal. You can't do.
Speaker 2: You can't ban kids from hotels. So now you've got
Speaker 2: a bunch of others that are trying to figure out
Speaker 2: is this legal?
Speaker 3: Is it not legal?
Speaker 2: Attorneys, consumer advocates, travelers, all this stuff. Is this a
Speaker 2: violation of civil code? And I thought it was an
Speaker 2: interesting conversation that we could have because if you're like me,
Speaker 2: you'd love to go to a resort that doesn't have
Speaker 2: a bunch of kids running around. If you go to
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, they have places like adults only pools, they
Speaker 2: have places where you.
Speaker 3: Are not allowed to bring kids.
Speaker 2: I don't know that there are adults only hotels in
Speaker 2: Vegas though, anybody are they are adult only hotels in Vegas?
Speaker 9: You know there should be, right, Well, kids aren't allowed
Speaker 9: like in the gambling areas.
Speaker 3: Nope, And they're not allowed. There's some adult only pools
Speaker 3: absolutely adult. Yeah, right, so they should.
Speaker 2: And I think in some ways what these hotels and
Speaker 2: resorts in Vegas are doing is they are they are
Speaker 2: de facto becoming no kids allowed, as opposed to just
Speaker 2: posting no kids allowed. So this uh, Alila, Maria, I'm
Speaker 2: sure I'm pronouncing that wrong. Beach resort in Encinita's, part
Speaker 2: of the Hyatt Hotel Empire, announced that they would exclude
Speaker 2: children as overnight guests. They have become the self described
Speaker 2: only adults only ocean front resort in southern California, and
Speaker 2: some people are saying that is a no go. They say,
Speaker 2: we cater to adults only because that's kind of our vision.
Speaker 2: So what's is this not discrimination? Is this not age discrimination?
Speaker 3: Well? Is it age discrimination?
Speaker 2: If you're twenty three years old and you can't rent
Speaker 2: a car, is that age discrimination? California courts have decided
Speaker 2: that the Act does prohibit landlords from refusing to rent
Speaker 2: to families children. So you may have a landlord that
Speaker 2: says no kids in my complex and parents GOP. You
Speaker 2: can't say that it's already been checked out. You have
Speaker 2: to read to us. Even though we have horrible children.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying all children are horrible. Just when they're
Speaker 2: on vacation and they're not mine, that's when they're horrible.
Speaker 2: Of Course, there is another way around this, and there
Speaker 2: are times that I think some people take capitalism in
Speaker 2: the free market too far. For instance, RFK says that
Speaker 2: we should allow the bird flu to run rampant so
Speaker 2: we can figure out who the strong chickens are. I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 2: but that's pretty much the gist of it. Then they
Speaker 2: will develop their own natural immudities and they'll be stronger chickens.
Speaker 3: Is that okay?
Speaker 2: Should we just say, sure, lase a fair spread the
Speaker 2: bird flu and then let's weed out the weak ones.
Speaker 2: Darwinism at its best, That is a capitalism gone a
Speaker 2: little too far right. However, I do think there's an
Speaker 2: opportunity for capitalism and the market to correct this issue.
Speaker 2: If you've got an adult's only hotel, couldn't you have
Speaker 2: other places to say they're going to institute family only
Speaker 2: bookings and why.
Speaker 3: Not think about this?
Speaker 2: If you go to if you go to some of
Speaker 2: the football games, could be a college game, could be
Speaker 2: a program. They have those sections that are called the
Speaker 2: family sections in the stadiums.
Speaker 3: Those are the family sections. The family sections.
Speaker 2: There's no alcohol allowed, right, that's the whole the family sections.
Speaker 2: No alcohol allowed, and you're definitely going to get the
Speaker 2: look have you start swearing at the other team because
Speaker 2: there's gonna be kids around there?
Speaker 3: The whole idea family section. What does that mean?
Speaker 2: The rest of the stadium is not strictly no kids,
Speaker 2: but it's definitely discouraged because you've been encouraged.
Speaker 3: To go to the family section.
Speaker 2: So why not have your hotel be family only bookings?
Speaker 2: My wife and I had a short term rental and
Speaker 2: we promoted the heck out of the fact that it
Speaker 2: was five bedrooms, Bring all the family, bring the kids, kids,
Speaker 2: We were pet friendly. We wanted everyone there because we
Speaker 2: wanted our booking to appeal to the broadest audience.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: So if you have a place, if you're a Disney resort,
Speaker 2: you're promoting that you want kids there fin out. So
Speaker 2: why wouldn't we allow for the market to dictate that
Speaker 2: If a company's avenue is we want no kids, we
Speaker 2: want adults only.
Speaker 3: What's the issue? Well, that's not fair.
Speaker 2: Little Johnny wants to be able to pee in everyone's pool.
Speaker 2: I'm not for it, not for it. I think this
Speaker 2: is a great opportunity for the market to sort things out.
