Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
Speaker 1: if I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I would like to
Speaker 1: point something out. Keana, by the way, is officially our producer.
Speaker 2: Somebody sent an email, so there has been an email.
Speaker 2: She's officially a producer.
Speaker 1: And it's wonderful and it's it's it's just outstanding. I
Speaker 1: just she I trust her implicitly, and she does a
Speaker 1: great job. And also the office smells incredible, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: The office smells so good. And it's not just because
Speaker 1: it's the first woman, after the series of dudes that
Speaker 1: we've had producing this show. All have been excellent producers,
Speaker 1: extremely smart and creative and wonderful, but she smells better
Speaker 1: than all of them. And I would also like to
Speaker 1: say Oscar has taken on a new office, right and
Speaker 1: I walk by there today and my god, it smells
Speaker 1: great in there, and I'm like, I've never had two
Speaker 1: places at one radio station in twenty six years.
Speaker 2: That smells so good.
Speaker 1: I think we're turning a corner as a radio people
Speaker 1: in this building. I think we're starting something here. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it's smelling good.
Speaker 2: Think of it.
Speaker 1: Think of your experience in radio, right, can you count
Speaker 1: instances when you've walked into a radio space, a studio,
Speaker 1: a newsroom, a pit, anything and it's smelling good?
Speaker 3: Ellen Cass the only place I can remember, because it
Speaker 3: smells like maple syrup and the inside of a.
Speaker 1: Confectory, confectory, confectionery. It's a confectory. Probably an injury of
Speaker 1: some kind. I think I have a confectory on my shoulder.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it was Ellen K's studio.
Speaker 1: And then that one time when you brought the yogurt
Speaker 1: with the honey and the brown sugar. Oh, maple and
Speaker 1: brown sugar, maple and brown sugar, and Ken lost his mind.
Speaker 1: He walked in here, like, what's that smell? It smells
Speaker 1: like sugar. Because he's used to the bad smells for
Speaker 1: longer than we were. He doesn't like it. It's off
Speaker 1: putting to him. Well, guess what. We're ushering in a
Speaker 1: new era.
Speaker 3: And I had a restaurant what do we call it
Speaker 3: a restaurant in moment on Saturday night?
Speaker 2: Is that's the word you were looking for a moment?
Speaker 3: No, but that's what I'll go for experience, That's what
Speaker 3: I was going for at a restaurant. I felt like
Speaker 3: you were going to say emulsion at one point. No,
Speaker 3: I it was a I know there's multiple of them.
Speaker 3: It's called Taste all X. It's like Donald Trump made
Speaker 3: the name. It's all caps with an exclamation point. Taste
Speaker 3: some sort of small eatering. This was up in wine
Speaker 3: contract and past robles.
Speaker 2: It was amazing. What did you have?
Speaker 3: Just a slider? I had just a slider. That what
Speaker 3: one slid, little baby slider. It had a sound on
Speaker 3: the side, and then mac and cheese with smoked Gouda
Speaker 3: and bacon. I feel like they're all been there, little
Speaker 3: bite size, little bite sized portions of it.
Speaker 1: I love bite sized portions of anything because then you can,
Speaker 1: you know, you can taste everything. Get it, taste taste,
Speaker 1: Oh exclamation point.
Speaker 2: If you haven't been there, you should go there.
Speaker 1: I've we've been there, and we did the taste of
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese where you try like three different
Speaker 1: kinds of mac and cheese.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was delicious. It's right there on the on
Speaker 2: the town square. Yes, yeah, right on the park. Yes.
Speaker 2: It was really really great. That's all that was my
Speaker 2: What was on the slider?
Speaker 3: I can't remember which one I got. It was just
Speaker 3: the provolone. I think was the cheese maybe that was
Speaker 3: Was there mushrooms involved?
Speaker 2: No, you're not a mushroom person, red onions?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just sootle.
Speaker 1: I love a slider man. I almost said a bad ye.
Speaker 1: I was real close.
Speaker 3: And then I had a moment yesterday on the freeway
Speaker 3: where I didn't know what to do. I'm pretty confident
Speaker 3: I've been doing this drive thing for many years now,
Speaker 3: and I saw something I had never seen before. As
Speaker 3: you drive through, you know, they call it Bakersfield, but
Speaker 3: Bakersfield's way to your east.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a woman driving, was it.
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, okay, sorry, I'm sorry. But there was
Speaker 3: an accident in the median. Traffic going northbound on I
Speaker 3: five was kind of slowed down, and as my wife
Speaker 3: and I kind of slowed down to pass it, everybody
Speaker 3: slowed down to look and see what happened.
Speaker 2: A car had overturned. They were taking care of it.
Speaker 3: But we get a little bit farther and there were
Speaker 3: I don't know three four hundred head of sheep in
Speaker 3: the field off to our west. Hell yeah, and the
Speaker 3: fence had come down and they started spilling onto the roadway. Now,
Speaker 3: I mean we got there just as it started happening.
Speaker 3: There were maybe ten twelve sheep that were on the
Speaker 3: right shoulder, but they were looking like they were going
Speaker 3: to cross across I five and I didn't know what
Speaker 3: to do do I I mean, I'm they weren't impeding
Speaker 3: traffic yet, so we sped by him at eighty miles
Speaker 3: an hour. But should I have called the CHP and said, hey,
Speaker 3: just so you know that I don't know where I was.
Speaker 3: That would have been the worst part. They're like, well
Speaker 3: where are you? And I go somewhere between now lost
Speaker 3: hills in the Grapevine.
Speaker 2: Once the sheep are out, it's hard to wrangle them.
Speaker 1: I remember one time driving in rural Ireland and the
Speaker 1: sheep had gotten out onto the road and there was
Speaker 1: an old Irish sheep herder that happened to be there,
Speaker 1: and we asked him directions and the brogue was so
Speaker 1: thick we had no idea and he had no idea
Speaker 1: that he made.
Speaker 2: No sense to us.
Speaker 1: But you know, but I said something to the man
Speaker 1: like I hope you're good luck with the sheep, and
Speaker 1: he gestured like the sheep are going to do what
Speaker 1: the sheep are going to do.
Speaker 2: I get paid whether they're hurt it or not. Exactly
Speaker 2: the sheep.
Speaker 1: I am only one man. I am what but one man?
Speaker 1: And this is a herd of sheep and they broke
Speaker 1: through the fence. And this is probably going to be
Speaker 1: like a four hour situation. It's not something that can
Speaker 1: be cleaned up right away. Certainly the CHP isn't going
Speaker 1: to respond and wrangle them sheep.
Speaker 3: Well, and they were busy with the accident, so it's
Speaker 3: not like they were going to be like, oh, you
Speaker 3: know what, stay in the car upside down. I got
Speaker 3: to go get some sheep and push them back through
Speaker 3: the fence.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Good for those sheep living their lives. In other animal news,
Speaker 1: I watched groundhog Day with Bill Murray, the old movie
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 2: Well, welcome to nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I hadn't seen it in years, and
Speaker 1: it was I think in the early nineties. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was eighty five. I want to say there
Speaker 1: was a strong case for ninety two. Ish, Okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: it holds up ninety three, so I was closer. It
Speaker 1: holds up, and you know what, the whole message behind
Speaker 1: groundhog Day is and it dawned on me for the
Speaker 1: first time ever. Is It's kind of like the definition
Speaker 1: of definition of insanity, like hitting your head against the
Speaker 1: wall from doing the same things every day and seeing
Speaker 1: the same results and not understanding why. And then when
Speaker 1: you start to change what you're doing and like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, be nice to people, things turn out for you.
Speaker 2: Is this what you do when football's over?
Speaker 1: I know it's very troubling for many people that are
Speaker 1: close to me. Look out, don't worry. In August, the
Speaker 1: world will write it side on it right itself on
Speaker 1: the right axis.
Speaker 2: That's eight months away. Until then, it's kinder and gentler.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: The big deal this happened just before the show started.
Speaker 3: President Trump and Mexican President Claudia shinebaumb have said that
Speaker 3: whatever tariffs were supposed to start against Mexico will be
Speaker 3: paused for a month. We'll explain what that is, why
Speaker 3: that is, and how sketchy the stock market is as
Speaker 3: a results of this.
Speaker 2: Terrify.
Speaker 1: Does it make me a super racist or just a racist?
Speaker 1: Every time you hear Claudia shinebomb and go Mexico shinebom?
Speaker 2: What yes? Okay?
Speaker 1: Wait, so which one super racist or just racist. I'm
Speaker 1: just going to say, yes, okay, also sexist.
Speaker 2: It's sexist because a woman can't lead a country.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what you're saying. You're the one. I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm pointing it out.
Speaker 2: You and I together have all the boxes check.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll talk a little bit about the Grammys last night.
Speaker 3: Holy crap. I'm so tired of Taylor Swift. I have
Speaker 3: nothing against her. There's nothing like she's She's made and
Speaker 3: she's talented.
Speaker 1: It's like Patrick, I'm just tired of them. I think
Speaker 1: they're great at what they do. I'm just ready for
Speaker 1: someone else to have the spotlight.
Speaker 3: Just stop putting a camera in her face every single
Speaker 3: time so she can do that big open mouth.
Speaker 1: Oh performing they're making they're making you hate her and
Speaker 1: you don't hate I don't. I know.
Speaker 2: Oversaturation. It's not good.
Speaker 3: A little bit later in this hour, we're going to
Speaker 3: talk more about the plane crash as from the last week.
Speaker 3: Of course, the American Airlines flight that collide with that
Speaker 3: Army black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac, but also the
Speaker 3: story of the medical transport plane that crashed in a
Speaker 3: neighborhood in Philly. Seven people were killed, and that includes
Speaker 3: one person sitting in a car on the ground. The
Speaker 3: debris from the crash actually killed them. It was an
Speaker 3: eleven year old girl and her mom on the plane.
Speaker 3: She had just received life saving treatment at a children's
Speaker 3: hospital there in Philly and the plane was beginning its
Speaker 3: long trip back to Tijuana, Mexico. PCH has reopened with
Speaker 3: some limitations after it was shut down for several weeks because
Speaker 3: the Palisades fire, and there was some confusion over the weekend. Listen,
Speaker 3: one of the worst things you can do if you're
Speaker 3: in government right now is give people mixed messages or
Speaker 3: incomplete thoughts when it comes to what's going on in
Speaker 3: the recovery effort. PCH is open one lane each direction
Speaker 3: right now at reduced speeds. They're encouraging local traffic only
Speaker 3: they don't need a bunch of lookie lose there. But
Speaker 3: all of this after a quick turn around from Mayor
Speaker 3: Karen Bass about what was going to be open, who
Speaker 3: was going to be staffing checkpoints and all that sort
Speaker 3: of stuff, and rain more rain coming this way.
Speaker 1: Well, the Canadians have learned how to boo finally, and
Speaker 1: Mexico seems to be moving when it comes to Trump's
Speaker 1: threats of tariffs threats no more. The breaking news this
Speaker 1: morning is that the Trump administration agreed to pause tariffs
Speaker 1: on Mexico for a month while the two sides hammer
Speaker 1: out a deal. The president down there, Claudia Shinbaum, said
Speaker 1: that they're going to send a bunch of troops to
Speaker 1: the border try to block the flow of drugs into
Speaker 1: the US, and that was enough for the President to say,
Speaker 1: all right, then we'll pump the brakes. About ten thousand
Speaker 1: National Guard troops have been promised to be sent to
Speaker 1: the board order.
Speaker 3: CNBC's Megan Cassella was talking about this issue just last
Speaker 3: hour when we were all learning about the new pause
Speaker 3: in the tariffs against Mexico.
Speaker 2: At least one.
Speaker 5: Third of this trade where at least appears to be
Speaker 5: on pause at least for a month. That news came
Speaker 5: out of Mexico first, with President Claudia Shinbaum saying she
Speaker 5: had a good conversation with President Trump and that they
Speaker 5: agreed that the tariffs would be delayed for a month
Speaker 5: while they discussed how to move forward. She agreed to
Speaker 5: send ten thousand troops to the border that would be
Speaker 5: focused on fentanyl specifically. She says the US also agreed
Speaker 5: to try to limit the flow of weapons across the
Speaker 5: border into Mexico and that they would continue to hold
Speaker 5: talks on things like the trade deficit as well as
Speaker 5: they decided whether to impose those tariffs over the next
Speaker 5: thirty days.
Speaker 3: This is the game that Donald Trump was playing the
Speaker 3: entire time he, according to Washington Post, President Shinbaum of
Speaker 3: Mexico had reached out to Trump on Friday to try
Speaker 3: to prevent this from happening in the first place. Remember,
Speaker 3: the announcement came down late last week that this was
Speaker 3: going to happen into Saturday. The actual tariffs themselves are
Speaker 3: not supposed to be imposed until tonight, so there is
Speaker 3: still some time perhaps for Canada to come to the
Speaker 3: table and Justin Trudeau to make some of the accommodations
Speaker 3: that Trump is looking for, and they are supposed to
Speaker 3: have a conversation at about noon today our time. United
Speaker 3: States and Mexico, by the way, are each other's biggest
Speaker 3: trading partners, and Mexico is obviously dependent when it comes
Speaker 3: to income from the United States. More than eighty percent
Speaker 3: of Mexico's exports more than eighty percent go to the
Speaker 3: United States, and they said if the tariffs were a
Speaker 3: put in place and b lasted for any significant amount
Speaker 3: of time several weeks to a couple of months, they said,
Speaker 3: it's almost a given that Mexico's economy would slip into recession.
Speaker 1: And about face on Wall Street when that news broke,
Speaker 1: by the way, because markets were plunging, and then this
Speaker 1: one month delay got announced and things started to stabilize
Speaker 1: because of the strength of trade between the US and
Speaker 1: Mexico globally.
Speaker 3: So this is going to be interesting how the next
Speaker 3: few hours play out, because as intransigent as Donald Trump is,
Speaker 3: he's met by the guy with the Disney hare, Justin
Speaker 3: Trudeau up in Canada, who has also said that he
Speaker 3: is tired of being just a nice Canadian guy.
Speaker 2: He's going to stick to his guns.
Speaker 3: We'll see how far that goes, because it almost seems
Speaker 3: like Canada can't stick to its guns.
Speaker 1: It almost feels like love actually a little bit when
Speaker 1: the best American president comes in to take whatever he
Speaker 1: wants to take and then like the little Hugh Grant
Speaker 1: characters like no because you hit on my girlfriend with
Speaker 1: big thighs, And now I'm gonna fake your diplomatic agenda.
Speaker 3: My are you saying Clodiabaum has big thighs? I missed
Speaker 3: the allegory there, I do.
Speaker 2: It was a love actually analogy.
Speaker 3: I'll have to go back and watch that again. Was
Speaker 3: that on right after Groundhog Day? Are you going to
Speaker 3: be hurtful all week or just today? I am in
Speaker 3: physical pain today. Really, I honestly don't know what I did.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I think I do have a confectionery in my What
Speaker 3: did you do?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Friday I felt enough as I was as I was driving,
Speaker 3: I felt it Friday, and I.
Speaker 1: Was sitting too long? Is a big problem is I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to make an old joke as we all
Speaker 1: get older, sitting for four hours just to hear I don't.
Speaker 1: It's all connected, dumbass. I mean, it's all connected, Thank
Speaker 1: you doctor. It is all connected. Especially like if you're
Speaker 1: feeling something in your hips where you're sitting and you're
Speaker 1: adjusting for it, it's gonna go up to your shoulder.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a plank party because there's a new
Speaker 1: Luke Bryan sung out. But I think you're gonna enjoy
Speaker 1: and only two minutes, like two minutes and ten seconds,
Speaker 1: so we'll have a plank party.
Speaker 3: You want to do it now, acare Just so you know,
Speaker 3: my definition of country music has changed because Beyonce want
Speaker 3: no no.
Speaker 2: I think everybody no no. We already checked the racist box.
Speaker 2: No you did, you did. I'm filling out my own
Speaker 2: form over here, just so you know.
Speaker 1: Big news at the border this week, as we have
Speaker 1: been talking about with Mexico saying all right, we will
Speaker 1: play ball with you America. We will send ten thousand
Speaker 1: troops to the border try to slow the spread of
Speaker 1: drugs over the border. Robert Sherman is a national correspondent
Speaker 1: for News Nation and covers the border. Robert, thanks for
Speaker 1: your time this morning.
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me appreciate it.
Speaker 1: So what do we expect to look differently at the
Speaker 1: border with Mexico.
Speaker 4: Well, that's going to be the big thing here is
Speaker 4: that these conversations are going to continue on ongoing for
Speaker 4: the next month or so, as both Mexico City and
Speaker 4: Washington have announced that there is an agreement in place
Speaker 4: which will pause tariff for a month as these negotiations
Speaker 4: continue them the big headline being this deployment of ten
Speaker 4: thousand Mexican troops to the US Mexico border on the
Speaker 4: Mexican side in order to try and stem the flow
Speaker 4: of sentinel and migrants that are heading towards the United States.
Speaker 4: That's going to be the big element here. But in
Speaker 4: terms of more permanent solutions, those conversations are going to
Speaker 4: continue on here. I think that it was interesting that
Speaker 4: Quaudia Shanebaum, the President of Mexico, set that as these
Speaker 4: negotiations continue, some that they want are restrictions from the
Speaker 4: US on weapons going into Mexico. That's a problem that
Speaker 4: doesn't get talked about as often, but it's something that
Speaker 4: has been ongoing for a very long time along the
Speaker 4: US Mexico border. So you will see a heightened military
Speaker 4: presence there and then we'll kind of see where all
Speaker 4: this shakes out from there.
Speaker 3: Do you know much about the relationship between Mexico and Canada,
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't. This isn't directly, you know, dealing
Speaker 3: with the trade between those two nations. Obviously we're in
Speaker 3: the middle of it. But do those nations traditionally get along,
Speaker 3: especially when it comes to trade trade policy?
Speaker 4: Traditionally yes, I mean, especially ever since NAFTA first came
Speaker 4: onto the scene of you have seen strong relationships between
Speaker 4: all three of those countries. And of course, depending on
Speaker 4: who you ask who that deal benefits or doesn't. You know,
Speaker 4: we can have that discussion all day, but they are
Speaker 4: a part of that mix. I think that the important
Speaker 4: thing to note here, though, is when you just look
Speaker 4: at the numbers, people are asking why is the UNI
Speaker 4: United States doing this right now? Well, the White House
Speaker 4: believes that they've got all the leverage that they need
Speaker 4: in order to get what they want out of both
Speaker 4: of these countries. You're looking at about seventy five percent
Speaker 4: of all of Mexico's exports go to the US market,
Speaker 4: similar numbers for Canada to the US market here, So
Speaker 4: that is the big granddaddy of them all. Both of
Speaker 4: them want to take their goods and their commodities to
Speaker 4: the United States for sale there. They rely on it
Speaker 4: heavily here. That's why you see these conversations taking place
Speaker 4: here because of the United States. Yes, they use Mexico
Speaker 4: and they use Canada as reliable trade partners, but you're
Speaker 4: looking at ten eleven percent of US exports going to
Speaker 4: those countries.
Speaker 2: How is this being received in Mexico?
Speaker 3: This could be taken as a capitulation on Shinbaum's part
Speaker 3: to Trump.
Speaker 2: But how is this being received by the locals?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just an addendum to that question, I was
Speaker 1: at the dentist's office and a woman who goes back
Speaker 1: and forth between Mexico and southern California said that already, people,
Speaker 1: there's this sentiment in Mexico because I'm going there in
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And she said, you know, just
Speaker 1: be careful because there's a sentiment. And she's from there.
Speaker 1: She said of Oh, you don't want to us, Okay,
Speaker 1: we don't want you. Kind of a weird vibe going on.
Speaker 4: You know, that's a very astute question there. And what
Speaker 4: I would say to that is that, I mean, you
Speaker 4: look at the reactions that have come from Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 4: They have not been uniform. I mean, they have been
Speaker 4: two very different responses from both of these countries. On
Speaker 4: the one hand, you have Mexico who has come out
Speaker 4: and said that there's going to be some kind of
Speaker 4: an agreement that is going to be in place and
Speaker 4: that they're prepared to work with the United States on
Speaker 4: the issue of immigration. So the White House's position is
Speaker 4: that Mexico has been more receptive to getting to the
Speaker 4: goal line, which is shoring up the border and re
Speaker 4: establishing economic equity when it comes to trade between the
Speaker 4: two countries. Canada's response, on the other hand, has been
Speaker 4: to levy retaliatory terraces. We even heard the premiere of
Speaker 4: Ottawa coming out today saying we don't want to do
Speaker 4: business with American companies who want to end our agreement
Speaker 4: with Starlink. We're prepared for a trade war and we're
Speaker 4: prepared to win. I think it's very interesting that you've
Speaker 4: had two very different reactions coming from both of these
Speaker 4: countries as a result of this, and the sentiments that
Speaker 4: you've seen, particularly in Canada, a lot of people are
Speaker 4: not very happy about all of this right now, but
Speaker 4: I mean, it stands to reason that the economic burden,
Speaker 4: if all of this comes to fruition, is going to
Speaker 4: be felt much more heavily by Mexican and Canadian citizens
Speaker 4: than US citizens.
Speaker 3: Robert, great stuff, Thank you, Thank you appreciating Robert.
Speaker 2: Sherman there with News Nation.
Speaker 3: One of the first places if the tariffs do go
Speaker 3: into place in a few hours against Canada, one of
Speaker 3: the places that we could immediately see it show up
Speaker 3: in terms of price tag would be at the gas pump.
Speaker 3: The United States imports about four million barrels a day
Speaker 3: of Canadian oil. About seventy percent of that is processed
Speaker 3: by refiners in the Midwest.
Speaker 1: We get about half of our oil from Canada. At
Speaker 1: least twenty twenty three, we got half of our oil
Speaker 1: from Canada and eleven percent from Mexico.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a much smaller amount, but still important. Most of
Speaker 3: the refiners along the Gulf Coast take that Mexican oil
Speaker 3: and turn it into gasoline or other products. So it
Speaker 3: would obviously mean tariffs on the incoming oil to make
Speaker 3: finished fuels like gasoline. The and even though it's twenty
Speaker 3: five percent across the board for I should say twenty
Speaker 3: five percent for most items from Canada, President Trump did
Speaker 3: pull back and say it would only be a ten
Speaker 3: percent tariff on energy products and that would include oil.
Speaker 3: But the Wall Street Journal this weekend, generally a more
Speaker 3: conservative newspaper.
Speaker 2: Said that this is the dumbest trade war in history.
Speaker 2: That's there.
Speaker 3: That was the term they came up with on Saturday.
Speaker 3: On Sunday they also talked about it. You know, some
Speaker 3: of the first effects that we're seeing of what they
Speaker 3: referred to as the dumbest trade war in history.
Speaker 1: Well, Trump ran on tamping down inflation, and even over
Speaker 1: the weekend he admitted there's going to be some pain.
Speaker 1: He said it would be short term and people will
Speaker 1: be okay with it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean to see some people, Yes, they feel
Speaker 3: like they would not mind paying a little bit more,
Speaker 3: although I don't know what a little means in order
Speaker 3: to try to sort of write the balance, just to
Speaker 3: sort of reset the trade in imbalance that we have
Speaker 3: with some of these countries. But you could say it
Speaker 3: for yourself all you want that you're one person. There's
Speaker 3: three hundred and forty million in the United States who
Speaker 3: a majority of them would be greatly impacted by higher
Speaker 3: gas prices, among other things.
Speaker 1: Most people granularly care about what is happening to them
Speaker 1: and what they're paying. I don't think a lot of
Speaker 1: people think about the larger issues of our trade agreements
Speaker 1: with anybody. The good news for Trump is that his people,
Speaker 1: probably some of the most affected by a price rise
Speaker 1: and things like fuel, love him so much that he
Speaker 1: can do no wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'd be willing to pay for it. All right,
Speaker 3: updates the sad stories over the weekend. Obviously last week's
Speaker 3: plane crash over the Potomac, but a plane crash also
Speaker 3: Friday night in Philadelphia that killed a little girl and
Speaker 3: her mom and a whole crew.
Speaker 1: Well, you're being the angel of death. I've got some
Speaker 1: good news.
Speaker 2: Get a little bit of tease a little bit. No,
Speaker 2: it's it's good.
Speaker 1: Let you get your death out of the way. I
Speaker 1: don't want it to taint my good news.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on this month.
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on this month. Well, we got
Speaker 3: a lot going on. Well, we got the super Bowl,
Speaker 3: super Bowl this weekend. Next weekend is burial palooza.
Speaker 2: Family, Is that what you all are calling it? Listen?
Speaker 2: It helps us? Is there going to be drugs free love?
Speaker 2: And no, not that kind.
Speaker 1: Of pillowy outfits, willowy, pillowy, pillowy, willowey.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wear a fat suit. I see your sisters
Speaker 2: and flower wreaths. I don't think so, but we'll see.
Speaker 3: I actually went to the cemetery this weekend just to
Speaker 3: do some scouting, you know, see what it's like. I
Speaker 3: haven't been to that cemetery in a long time. It's
Speaker 3: my dad's side of the family in this cemetery. And

Speaker 2: from Many.
Speaker 6: Hey, I just want to let you know, Mexico just
Speaker 6: had an announcement that they're gonna go ahead and do
Speaker 6: what the presents and so there's a hold on Mexico's terrace.
Speaker 6: What no way, the Wall Street Journal was a little
Speaker 6: wrong and it's working.
Speaker 1: We just said that, I'm pretty sure, open segment saying
Speaker 1: the breaking news this morning was that Mexico agreed to
Speaker 1: send troops to that.
Speaker 2: Everybody can listen all.
Speaker 1: Trump said, Okay, we'll wait a month on the tariffs.
Speaker 3: The stories about the plane crash. Crews along the Potomac
Speaker 3: have begun lifting the wreckage of that Bombardier airplane that
Speaker 3: American Airlines flight fifty three forty two from the Potomac.
Speaker 3: They're hoping that they'll be able to recover the remains
Speaker 3: of everybody. There were still a few outstanding people. A
Speaker 3: crane that's perched on a barge in the middle of
Speaker 3: the river had actually taken out one of the plane's
Speaker 3: engines from the water. They are talking about making sure
Speaker 3: that they can get as much of the plane up
Speaker 3: off of the bottom of the Potomac. They'll eventually take
Speaker 3: the wreckage to a big warehouse they'll continue their investigation there.
Speaker 3: They also so are saying that they could today release
Speaker 3: some of the information from the flight data recorder and
Speaker 3: potential voice recorder that's in the Blackhawk helicopter. It's a
Speaker 3: different they said, it works on a different style of technology.
Speaker 3: It's not exactly the same that you'd find in a
Speaker 3: commercial airliner, but that there is information recording system in
Speaker 3: the Blackhawk which could maybe be able to pin down
Speaker 3: exactly what was going on in that helicopter. The other
Speaker 3: story of plane crash over the weekend was on Friday,
Speaker 3: a six person Lear Jet fifty five crashed in a
Speaker 3: neighborhood in northeast Philly. The patient on board this medical
Speaker 3: transport plane was an eleven year old girl who recently
Speaker 3: finished treatment at Shriner's Children's Hospital. She and her mom
Speaker 3: were killed in the crash, as well as the crew
Speaker 3: of the pilots and the medical staff that were there.
Speaker 3: Also a seventh person of the sixth people on the plane,
Speaker 3: a seventh person was in a car at the time
Speaker 3: of the crash and was also hit with debris from
Speaker 3: the crash.
Speaker 2: So that's why the death toll is at seven. They said.
Speaker 3: The number of injured victims is up to twenty two.
Speaker 3: One of them is said to be a little boy
Speaker 3: who when the plane crash, he and dad and his
Speaker 3: sister were walking home from getting donuts, and when this happened,
Speaker 3: he jumped on his sister to protect her from the
Speaker 3: flying debris and ended up in the hospital.
Speaker 1: The little girl with the life saving surgery that dies
Speaker 1: in the plane crash. That just plays into the whole
Speaker 1: final destination death strategy argument, fate versus chance and all
Speaker 1: of that. It's just awful. I have good news, Thank you, please.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do it now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I do, Okay.
Speaker 1: So you know how we have bemoaned the fall of
Speaker 1: children's playgrounds, How liability has ruined any sort of risk
Speaker 1: taking children can get into before they have encounter large
Speaker 1: risks that could ruin their lives.
Speaker 2: How as you grow up, you're.
Speaker 1: Just exposed a little bit more to risk, and some
Speaker 1: of that starts on the playground with those the spinning things.
Speaker 2: Spinning things and the really high bars, you know.
Speaker 1: The swings that don't have the safety bars exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: parts of Dutch society are campaigning to bring risky playgrounds
Speaker 1: back into cities and towns. They say, all this time
Speaker 1: spent indoors on screens with the helicopter parents, it's too much.
Speaker 2: Childhood diabetes is through the row.
Speaker 1: They say that the solution, or the start of the solution,
Speaker 1: is bringing back places like merry go rounds, potentially dangerous toys.
Speaker 1: Some are advocating for places for children to start small fires,
Speaker 1: build with hammers, play fight with sticks. They say, roughy,
Speaker 1: toughty might mean children might get a bump or a cut,
Speaker 1: but it's an acceptable risk. Children are hardly moving these days.
Speaker 1: All kinds of problems, they say, stem from just sitting
Speaker 1: behind a screen. And yes, children on average are spending
Speaker 1: twice as much time indoors than before the pandemic. That
Speaker 1: is why motor skills have declined so much. Children can
Speaker 1: no longer catch a ball or do multiplication tables.
Speaker 2: Give your kid a stick and a box, set a fire,
Speaker 2: bobby set a freaking fire. See what happens.
Speaker 3: It's one of the greatest lines in Sandlot when mom
Speaker 3: tells the kid to go outside, go get in truble.
Speaker 2: Go outside, Yeah, go run around, go make me worry
Speaker 2: about you?
Speaker 3: Did you we we'd? Did you read The Red Where
Speaker 3: the Red Fern Grows? About Billy Coleman? Get my buddy,
Speaker 3: An actual college roommate of mine ended up as a
Speaker 3: teacher up in the Sacramento area elementary school teacher and
Speaker 3: in his class they read Where the Red Fern Grows.
Speaker 2: I still cry thinking about it.
Speaker 3: He had me come in and play Billy Coleman as
Speaker 3: a middle aged man.
Speaker 2: Talking about the book.
Speaker 3: And I mean he set it up like I was
Speaker 3: really Billy Coleman, and the kids for a while thought
Speaker 3: that I was Billy.
Speaker 1: You look like him because of you're stuck in a
Speaker 1: certain decade of American history.
Speaker 3: And one of the things that they talked about was
Speaker 3: did I really go out camping for two days or
Speaker 3: three days in the woods by myself? And you said,
Speaker 3: smell me, kids, and I said, yeah, of course I did.
Speaker 3: You guys don't do this anymore. You guys don't go outside.
Speaker 3: You guys don't go camping and it was this, Uh well,
Speaker 3: I was living in Sacramento at the time, so I
Speaker 3: had to be twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: I thought this was another adult theater thing that you
Speaker 2: weren't telling us about. Kind of it was kind of
Speaker 2: an adult theater thing for it was adult theater out
Speaker 2: in the wild for children. Adult theater out in the
Speaker 2: wild for children. When we come back stories.
