WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.360 A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.200 demand on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:08.240 It's time for swamp Watch. 5 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:10.640 I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, 6 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.839 and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipop. 7 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:14.679 Here we got. 8 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.600 The real problem is that our leaders are done. 9 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:18.960 The other side never quits. 10 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.960 So what I'm not going anywhere so that now you 11 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:25.280 train the squaw. 12 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.600 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by 13 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.199 what has been. You know, Americans have always been gone 14 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.439 at President. They're not stupid. 15 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.399 A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 16 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.520 Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp Watch, they're 17 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.119 all countera. 18 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:45.799 Well, this ongoing discussion about our response to the search 19 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.679 for peace I suppose between the United States, Ukraine and Russia, 20 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.479 NATO and everybody that's involved with that is getting even 21 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.039 a little bit more confusing. Some new comments that came 22 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.000 in today from President Trump. We heard from the National 23 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.119 Security Advisor, Mike Walls about what's going on and these 24 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.439 ongoing discussions. One of the issues that's going on right 25 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.359 now is a discussion about a minerals agreement with the 26 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.319 United States, and according to Mike Walls, he says that 27 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:19.159 he expects to see the signature of Ukraine on this 28 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.719 minerals deal very soon. 29 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.480 Here's the bottom line. President Selenski is going to sign 30 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.439 that deal and you will. 31 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.319 See that in the very short term. And that is 32 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.760 good for Ukraine. 33 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.519 What better could you have for Ukraine than to be 34 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.239 in an economic partnership with the United States. Now, we 35 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.879 have an obligation to you, all, the American taxpayer, to 36 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.640 recoup the hundreds of billions of dollars that had been 37 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.560 invested in this war. Europe's contributions are in the form 38 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:48.159 of loans. 39 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.079 Now this proposed partnership again, this minerals deal that they're 40 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.280 talking about, and it is basically, if you want the 41 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.799 United States to guarantee security, we're going to need some 42 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.599 of our money back. And the way you can do 43 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.760 that is give us access to some of your deposits 44 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.959 of aluminum and gallium and tritium materials that are going 45 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.560 to be essential for tech manufacturing, nuclear research, semiconductors, all 46 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.960 that sort of thing. And this agreement, if you want 47 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.360 to call it. That is also being positioned in a 48 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.759 way for us to get back some of the investment 49 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.759 that USA to Ukraine. Is somewhere above one hundred and 50 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.080 seventy five billion. I've seen an estimate as high as 51 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.759 three hundred and fifty billion, but that we would basically 52 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.680 recoup about fifty percent of all of the minerals that 53 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.680 exist that Ukraine would put on the market. 54 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.840 We'd get some of that back. 55 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.759 It goes a little bit further than that, because Donald 56 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.479 Trump continues to say that Vladimir Zelensky used the term 57 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.000 dictator the other day to suggest that that Vladimir Zelensky 58 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.000 is a dictator, not that Vladimir Putin is. He did 59 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.479 this morning acknowledge on Brian Kilmead's show on Fox Radio. 60 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.439 He did acknowledge that it was Putin that started the 61 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.080 war in Ukraine, but then went on to say that 62 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.319 it is still Vladimir's Lensky who is responsible for a 63 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.840 lot of what's happened since that, But that's Russia's fault though. 64 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.120 Russia two thousand year old home. 65 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.800 He's talking about the destruction now in the Ukrainian cities, 66 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.479 and Brian Kilney was trying to tell him. Yeah, but 67 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.319 that was the Russian Army controlled by Putin that did. 68 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.400 That, and everything's demolished. It was like a demolition site, 69 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.120 though it's sort of like Gaza. In fact, it's more 70 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.960 to at least Gaza has a couple of buildings standing 71 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.639 here this place. You take a look at the demolition 72 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.800 of so many of those cities and all those those 73 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.199 people are killed, never to come back again. 74 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.680 But mister president, that's that's Vladimir Putin's fault. 75 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.759 I get tired of listening to it. I'll tell you 76 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.840 what I've seen it enough. And then he complains that 77 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.879 he's not at a meeting that we're having with sort 78 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:03.560 of Arabia trying to intermediate at piece. Well, he's been 79 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.199 at meetings for three years with a very with a 80 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.199 president who didn't know what ally was doing. He's been 81 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.960 at the meetings for three years and nothing got done. 82 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.680 So okay. 83 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.439 This has gotten a lot of pushback from conservatives from republicans. 84 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.720 Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who happens to be the 85 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279 Special Envoy for the situation in Ukraine and Russia, was 86 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.279 just over in Kiev and spoke with Zelensky and said 87 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.160 that he is an embattled, courageous leader of a nation 88 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.000 at war and his talented national security team. That's not 89 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.439 calling him a dictator at all. Mark Levin, the commentator 90 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.240 on Fox News, also rebuked the president and talked about 91 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.079 this and said, I don't know why there are people 92 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.199 that not only oppose Zelensky but seemed to support Putin. 93 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.800 He said again, Mark Levin, I understand there needs to 94 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.959 be peace between these two countries, but I think Donald 95 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.720 Trump is uniquely able to do that. But there cannot 96 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.399 be peace at any cost. And the New York Post 97 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.519 front page New York Post a giant picture of Donald Trump, 98 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.360 I'm sorry, a giant picture of Vladimir Putin. Apologies, A 99 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.360 giant picture of Putin with the bold headline this is 100 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.000 a dictator. So he's not getting a lot of support 101 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.319 from some people in the conservative movement his description of 102 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.040 Zelenski as the dictator in all of this. Also in 103 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.879 d C, President Trump is apparently preparing to dissolve the 104 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.360 leadership of the Postal Service and absorb the independent agency 105 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.759 into the administration that would put it under the control 106 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.560 of the Commerce Department. Board is planning to fight the order. 107 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.639 Three of those people told the Washington Post that they 108 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.160 had an emergency meeting last night. The board did retain 109 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.240 outside council and gave instructions to sue the White House 110 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.360 if the President signs an executive order to remove members 111 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.399 of the Board or attempt to alter the independent status 112 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.240 in any way. And then, finally, in the Senate last night, 113 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.639 the Republican controlled Senate spent all night into this morning 114 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.079 to put together a three hundred and forty billion dollar 115 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.240 budget blueprint designed to boost funding for the Trump's immigration 116 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.040 enforcement efforts, energy production, the military. This was a mostly 117 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.000 party line vote that came up just before would be 118 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.160 five in the morning DC time, following a bunch of 119 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.199 votes throughout the course of the night. Senators cast votes 120 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.959 on thirty three different amendments over the course of ten hours, 121 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.160 So the final vote on this Republican controlled Senate budget 122 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.279 plan fifty two to forty eight. The only Republican who 123 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.639 voted against it would have been Rand Paul out of Kentucky. 124 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.639 All right, quick, wellness segment, you got some exercises coming 125 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.120 up this weekend. 126 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:40.360 It's gonna be a beautiful weekend. 127 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.680 The difference between body weight exercises and weight weight exercises 128 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.360 you know, actual throwing the plates around. I have some 129 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:53.920 breaking news. LA Mayor Karen Bass today met with and 130 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:59.319 fired the chief of the LA Fire Department. She met 131 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.360 with and fired Kristin Crowley as the fire chief. She 132 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.639 has appointed former Chief Deputy Ronnie Vianueva, forty one year 133 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.519 old LA Fire Department veteran, as the interim fire chief. 134 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.879 There is expected to be a news conference about twenty 135 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.040 minutes from now, so we'll get into this. She did 136 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.079 put out a statement set acting in the best interests 137 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.319 of LA public safety and for the operations of the 138 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.279 LA Fire Department, I have removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief. 139 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.199 We know that a thousand firefighters that could have been 140 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.399 on duty on the morning the January seventh were instead 141 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.199 sent home on Chief Crowley's watch. Furthermore necessary step to 142 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.560 an investigation was the president of the Fire Commission telling 143 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.519 Chief Crowley to do an after action report on the fires, 144 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.519 and that the chief refused. Pardon the pun, but it's 145 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.519 starting to heat up our trending stories, which are now 146 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.720 being overtaken by a bunch of developing stories. 147 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:51.959 Again. The big story right. 148 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.399 Now is that Mayor Karen Bass of LA has fired 149 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.399 the chief of the LA Fire Department. 150 00:07:58.680 --> 00:07:59.600 She has fired. 151 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.560 Krista Crowley will take that news conference, we hope when 152 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.720 it comes along at about eleven forty five. So a 153 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.639 lot of people believe that if you're going to build 154 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.199 up strength, you're going to build up your muscles, you 155 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.480 need to set a weights or a gym membership. But 156 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.560 that is not the case. That's where we start our 157 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.639 little wellness segment. I feel terrible. 158 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.480 He spends most of his day at the office city 159 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.720 the Nation in Doro, a variety of activities. I'm preferably 160 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:29.040 some exercise late in the afternoon. I never exercised a day. 161 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:29.560 In my line. 162 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.519 You just got to sit here and wait to die. 163 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:32.559 Every morning. 164 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.159 That smoke a cigarette, and for lunch, I eat a 165 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.639 bacon sandwich and I usually drink my dinner. 166 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.440 It's time for Gary and Shannon's Periodic Guide for Wellness 167 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:49.080 and Personal Improvement for your health. So the research suggests 168 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.000 that for most people, you do not need to have weights. 169 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.840 You don't have to go through a GM gym membership 170 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.840 to pack on some muscle, and that's good for all 171 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:00.799 of us, no matter what age you are, no matter 172 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.440 how in shape or out of shape, you happen to be. 173 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.399 Your body doesn't care. 174 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.360 Your body doesn't care if you're doing a push up 175 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.240 or you're laying on your back and you're doing bench press. 176 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.360 The muscle itself is agnostic. All it recognizes is the 177 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.840 tension on the muscle. The secret to the success, however, 178 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.440 appears to be failure. Exercise scientist a guy named James Steele, 179 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.120 is the head of research at Kaiser Australia, a chain 180 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.960 of exercise clinics health clinics, and said, no matter how 181 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:37.080 you do it, whether it's weights, body weight, whatever, training 182 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:42.600 fundamentally requires you to exercise your muscle until it's almost exhausted. 183 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.639 In order to get stronger, you got to get to 184 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.960 the point where you almost can't go on, and then 185 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.080 that's when you see the progress. 186 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.879 If your goal is just to get stronger. 187 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.600 A bunch of different studies that show you can get 188 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.600 similar results from bodyweight exercises or actually lifting weights. There 189 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.879 was a stuf, for example, in Minnesota, where doctor Steele 190 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.519 asked regular exercisers there in Minnesota to switch from their 191 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.120 weight room routine to a body weight routine that they 192 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.759 could do at their own home, and they said the 193 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.679 change in strength at least over those three weeks. 194 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:16.440 Was similar. 195 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.639 In Japan, they did an experiment as well that compared 196 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.440 push ups to bench press and they resulted in the 197 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.919 same strength gain, the same muscle gain, and then a 198 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.759 smaller study. This is what probably is what you're thinking about, 199 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.039 is well, how do you get better? How once you 200 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.519 can do ten pushups, how do you get to fifteen 201 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.360 or twenty or make yourself stronger once you hit that plateau. 202 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.519 If you increase the weight and still do your ten 203 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.720 bench presses and just increase the weight, keep the reps 204 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.080 the same, you're going to increase strength. But they said 205 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.200 the same thing happens when you increase the reps at 206 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.120 the same weight, which would be what you do, and 207 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.240 you're doing your push ups and outther word, it's the 208 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.840 effort that counts. It is not what you're lifting. And 209 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.559 then as you get stronger, the exercises you do naturally 210 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.600 get easier. You may have to find some ways to 211 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.759 make them a little bit, you know, bump up the 212 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.759 effort level. For push ups, it's probably relatively easy. You 213 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.240 can put your feet up on a chair or something 214 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.080 like that, or a bench behind you, and that will 215 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.559 slightly change the angle which how you hit the pectoral 216 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.480 but also makes it a little bit harder for you 217 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:32.480 to do that, to do that exercise. And in terms 218 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.919 of weights, there's a little bit higher risk of injury. 219 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.039 I mean, you can drop a weight on your foot, Jacob, 220 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.080 You ever done that? You ever drop a forty five 221 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.159 pound plate on your foot? 222 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.120 Never? Twenty five pound plate? Nope? Fifteen pound, no, ten? No, 223 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.240 five no. 224 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:52.840 But I have hurt myself squatting. I'm not hurt, but 225 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.840 I still rack the weight though. You still got it 226 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.559 all the way up to the road. Yeah, okay, good 227 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.519 for you. I only will they able to do it twice? 228 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.000 And from our wellness segment, we'll go to our dog 229 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.720 wellness segment in just a couple of minutes. How the 230 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.159 dog's sleeping pattern tells us how wild they actually are. 231 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.159 Of course, the breaking news is that La Mayor Karen 232 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:17.279 Bass has fired the head of the LA Fire Department. 233 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.639 We'll be talking about that coming up in just a 234 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.559 couple minutes and go to a news conference that we 235 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.480 expect Mayor Bass to have about this decision. The La 236 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.200 Mayor Karen Bass has removed LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, 237 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.600 effective immediately. 238 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.039 That word just came down a short time ago. 239 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.679 The expectation is that the mayor is going to hold 240 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.480 a news conference here in about ten minutes or so. 241 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:41.639 We'll bring it to you live. 242 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.919 Mayor Bass met with and removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief, 243 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.639 effective immediately. This is a statement from the Mayor's office. 244 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.039 Mayor Bass announced that she has appointed former Chief Deputy 245 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:58.639 Ronnie Viennaweva, forty one year LAFD veteran, as the interim 246 00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.440 fire chief. 247 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.279 Again. 248 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.519 The news conference scheduled about ten minutes from now. As 249 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.120 she goes into the details, yesterday was not a She 250 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.799 did an interview, like we said, with Elix Michaelson from 251 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:14.080 Channel eleven and seemed to point the finger at Kristen 252 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.279 Crowley for not telling her that there was a giant 253 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:23.159 wind event that could potentially give give her the heads 254 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.759 up to stay in the country. Remember, she was in Ghana, 255 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.080 attacked attending an inauguration when the firestorm broke out. On 256 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:34.879 January seventh. Another developed couple developing stories Number one. In Louisville, Kentucky, 257 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.000 three people were killed in the shooting outside a driver 258 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:42.039 licensing center the Louisville Metro police said they were called 259 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.039 around noon today Louisville time for a shooting at the 260 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.919 driver License Regional office in Valley Station, Kentucky, and one 261 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.679 man was dead and apparently two women died at the hospital. 262 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:54.720 And then an. 263 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.519 Explosion also at a resort on Maui right around sunset 264 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.000 last night, injured several people smoking debris clouded. The clouded 265 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.879 this setting up the Whaler Resort on the Connopoly Parkway. 266 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.559 They're on the Connopoli side of Maui. 267 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.960 So dogs look great when they're sleeping, right, they're always 268 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.200 the Sometimes you're lucky, you get them to fall on 269 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.720 their back and they fall asleep and it's just their adorbs. 270 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:27.519 And domestic dogs have largely diurnal sleeping habits, which means 271 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:28.519 they're awake during the day. 272 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.919 They sleep at night like us. 273 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.200 And that's because over the course of many deck centuries 274 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:42.600 millennia of domestication, they adapt it to our schedule and 275 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.240 most of their sleep happens during the night. But obviously 276 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.000 they have frequent bouts of sleeping during the daytime, particularly 277 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.080 in the afternoon. Sometimes it's a little bit misleading because 278 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.320 dogs will simply relax with their eyes closed, and you 279 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.159 think that they're sleeping, they're just they're just hanging out. 280 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.960 The dog's ancestor, the gray wolf, tends to show more 281 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:08.240 nocturnal activity or crepuscular sleep patterns. In the wild, wolves 282 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.240 can show high variability in their activity with human disturbance. 283 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.159 Of course, food availability, weather conditions all influence their sleep cycles. 284 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.960 Captive wolves, like dogs, typically have that circadian rhythm that's 285 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.000 like ours or like a domesticated dog, where they sleep 286 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.159 at night, they get up and walk around during the day. 287 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.559 They said that free ranging domestic dogs are more inclined 288 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.879 to resemble wild canines in their sleep cycles, a greater 289 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:39.960 propensity towards crepuscular nocturnal activity. In urban areas, feral dogs 290 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.600 may align their sleeping habits with human activity, even though 291 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:47.480 they're technically wild and just like us. Dogs have a 292 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.159 bunch of different sleep stages. They have the drowsiness, they 293 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.799 have lighter non rapid eye movement n REM sleep they 294 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.879 call it, and then the deeper REM sleep where most 295 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.320 of the dreams happen just like ours. I mean, dogs 296 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.240 dreaming is one of the funniest videos that you could 297 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.840 ever watch because they go out, they go nuts, and 298 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.000 they kind of half bark, some of them get up 299 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.840 and run. Dogs devote more of their total sleep time 300 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.639 to that REM sleep than do humans. They get about 301 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.320 three hours a day. We only get about two hours 302 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.480 a day if we're lucky. A study in twenty twenty 303 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:25.919 two that involved researchers cuddling with dogs and socialized wolves 304 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:28.960 to sleep found that dogs spend less time in wren's 305 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.279 sleep than even wolves do, but they said both species 306 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.039 spend a similar amount of time in the other stages 307 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.279 of sleep. So the question is whether REM sleep is 308 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:43.480 related to that domestication. How in the species which are 309 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.080 at high risk of being attacked while asleep spend less 310 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.799 time in REM sleep. Think about it, it's because the 311 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:54.399 domesticated dogs can relax they're not going to be attacked 312 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:58.879 by some other predator. Dogs engage in their deepest sleep 313 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.559 during the night. Their daytime naps are relatively light, and 314 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.079 like other animals rats, hedgehogs, dogs, et cetera, they wake 315 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.200 up after a period of REMS sleep, usually an adaptation 316 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.359 that's designed to force them out of their sleep in 317 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.079 order to wake up and look around, basically, wake up 318 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.960 and check their environment. The frequent brief sleep awake cycles 319 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.759 allow dogs to adjust the changes in their routine more 320 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.319 readily than humans do. Drug detection dogs, for example, they 321 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.519 cope remarkably well with changes to their work schedule. It 322 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.599 doesn't disrupt their sleep patterns at all. Some of the 323 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.039 more well trained dogs that you know, whether it's an 324 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.039 actual working dog or somebody who just trains their dog well, 325 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:49.599 those dogs sleep great. They sleep wherever whenever. As with people, 326 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.599 the duration the quality of sleeping dogs can fluctuate from 327 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.599 day to day and over their life span. As the 328 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.079 dogs get older, sleep becomes more fragmented, they get fewer 329 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:05.359 rems sleep hours at night. Other factors including the canine sex, 330 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:10.039 the daytime activity, their welfare, the environmental conditions, even social 331 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.839 interactions can affect their sleep quality. 332 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.759 It's just like us. 333 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.160 Deprivation in daytime napping usually leads to quicker sleep onset 334 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.759 and then longer rem sleep at night, both for dogs 335 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.400 and for other animals like us. Now, this is a 336 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.160 funny thing, but scientists still say they don't agree on 337 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.079 why dogs or other animals sleep. We do know it's 338 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:38.519 a lot about physically rebuilding, physical restoration, even memory consolidation, 339 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:39.960 which we've talked about. 340 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.119 We talked about earlier this week. 341 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.279 The memory consolidation, the brainwashing that your head goes through 342 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.319 when you're asleep, sort of getting rid of all the junk, 343 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.759 filing away some of these memories for the future, all 344 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.319 of that stuff. They said, it's the most studied function 345 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.640 of sleep. Most of this work points to sleep's important 346 00:18:54.680 --> 00:19:00.000 role in facilitating learning. In fact, in twenty seventeen, researchers 347 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.960 and Hungary found the dog's memory recall significantly improved when 348 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.839 the animals were taught unfamiliar words and then. 349 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.519 Allowed to take a three hour nap. Man. That sounds great. 350 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.680 That sounds awesome. 351 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.359 One of the big stories that we're following today was 352 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.039 a couple of drivers were hit with rocks overnight on 353 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:26.079 freeways here in LA just before midnight. Somebody was injured 354 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:27.640 when his vehicle was hit by a rock. He was 355 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.119 driving right near the westbound ten and then the southbound 356 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.920 one ten when a rock or a piece of stone 357 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.680 crack through the windshield hit him right before midnight. 358 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.559 Had to go to the hospital. 359 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.759 Another driver reported a similar incident on the northbound one 360 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.880 ten freeway right near the Adams Boulevard. 361 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:45.240 Canada. Canadia. 362 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.680 Canada's men's hockey team defeated the USA three to two 363 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.720 and overtime last night in what started out as an 364 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.119 amazing Four Nations face off championship game between the USA 365 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.000 and Canada. No fights, at least none like we saw 366 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.960 the first time they met earlier in the tournament, when 367 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.279 there were three fights in nine seconds. Canadian Prime Minister 368 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:09.640 Justin Trudeau took to trash talking right away and said, 369 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.480 you can't take our country and you can't take our game. 370 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.880 Yankees are playing right now. 371 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.240 They're taking on Tampa Bay and that Yankees have made 372 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.920 the stunning decision to allow their players to grow beards 373 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.279 after forty nine years of banning all facial hair. They 374 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:25.440 put out a memo that said, you can now have 375 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.160 a clean cut beard when you're playing for the New 376 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:31.680 York Yankees. Well, what else is going on? 377 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.640 Oh? I'm sorry, that was my fault. Did I tell 378 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.279 you the thing? Yeah, there is time four. What's happened?

This 382 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.960 is all part of the administration's campaign to shrink the 383 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.119 federal workforce could have potential consequences for the current tax 384 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.400 filing system the season.
