WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.160 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:07.919 It's a hard Monday. 5 00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:14.759 I'll say this, the the amplitude of the wave in 6 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.079 the beginning of the season is always very shallow. You 7 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.640 don't get too excited, you don't get too depressed. You're like, 8 00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.359 d I get eighteen weeks to figure out all and 9 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.879 then as you get you know, week eight, start to 10 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.440 see some like well there's a chance or they're awful. 11 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.119 And then you get into like week twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 12 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.719 and you're like, we're going to the playoff one week 13 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.799 and then three and a half hours after kickoff, you're like. 14 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.679 This is the worst time. How in the world? 15 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.119 Just these are. 16 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.759 They're professionals, How could they possibly do this? 17 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.240 What happened? Am I plugged in? Is it making noise? Okay, 18 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.640 we're having a little computer issue in here, and I 19 00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.560 can't figure out. 20 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.719 Exactly what's this is the excitement of a live podcast, 21 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.959 you know, you listen to a taped podcast, you don't 22 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.159 get they get to edit and post and all that storing. 23 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.159 You don't know what's going to happen here on this 24 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.159 live podcast. 25 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:18.000 Uh yeah, charge was lost yesterday. I had an opportunity 26 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.319 to go to the game. I realized that we're it's 27 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.439 getting busy, like there's a lot to do ahead of 28 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:25.359 the holidays. 29 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.519 And things like that, so I didn't. I didn't end 30 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.599 up going. I'm kind of thankful that I didn't. 31 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.359 Although it looked like a fun listen, it was fun 32 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.519 to watch Baker and Mike Evans. Like Baker Mayfield, what 33 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.959 a great story. What I mean, like him or hate him. 34 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.560 He is a freaking winner and he plays with a 35 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.200 lot of emotion, a lot of heart, and that's always 36 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.680 fun to see. You know, Justin Herbert's great at what 37 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.120 he does, but he is as icy as lake in 38 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.640 the morning. 39 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:53.400 Like he is. 40 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.879 There is no high, there's no ups, there's no downs rarely, 41 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.519 and when he gets frustrated sometimes he'll he'll, you know, 42 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.959 he'll bang his helmet on the grass. But Baker Mayfield 43 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.239 wears his heart on his sleeve and it's fun to watch. 44 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.960 And Mike Evans, holy hell, he reminds me of Jerry Rice. 45 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.840 I mean, he is incredible to watch. Just a cut above. 46 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.879 The Chargers didn't do much to help their playoff hopes. 47 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.439 They didn't do much period, end of the story, and 48 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:24.439 they know that, you know. 49 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.479 So that was bad. 50 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:31.599 President Elect Trump is holding a news conference at mar 51 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.719 A Lago. He's taking questions and this is one of 52 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.039 those that's going to go on for some time. 53 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.639 He's been out there for about an hour. 54 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.120 Looks good, doesn't he? Is that just good lighting? What's 55 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:40.479 going on? 56 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.719 Part of it's good lighting? 57 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.240 But he was he was He was talking, among other things, 58 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.240 about RFK Junior going to Capitol Hill. He's meeting with 59 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.800 senators like we've seen other potential appointees do. So he's 60 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.159 getting his first crack at some of those questions that 61 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.879 he'll face about his feelings about. 62 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.960 Vaccines and the healthcare industry, et cetera. 63 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.439 The big investment was that one hundred billion dollar tech 64 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.639 investment in the firm that's really big on AI. Yeah, 65 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.199 they're very into open AI. It's called soft Bank, and 66 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.400 they say they're going to be creating one hundred thousand 67 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.960 jobs in AI and infrastructure, which terrifies me. 68 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.439 Which was then funny because Trump stood behind the guy 69 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.879 that was speaking and goes, okay, how about this right now? 70 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.199 I get I asked for two hundred billion. What do 71 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.439 we say, two hundred Yeah, and the guy just laughed nervously. Well, 72 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.560 we promised a hundred, but you know, we'll see. 73 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.759 Part of this is that Trump likes to make these announcements, 74 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.280 and his first term, early on, he announced a ten 75 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.080 billion dollar investment by Fox Con promised thousands of jobs 76 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.199 that never happened. 77 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.800 So he does like to make these big splashes. 78 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.439 He said back in twenty sixteen at Trump Tower with 79 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.039 the same the same guys, that he'd spend fifty billion 80 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.759 create fifty thousand jobs. Don't really know if that happened either, 81 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.400 but it does make for a good announcement. It does 82 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.240 make for a good boost of morale when you think 83 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.079 about all of those jobs potentially being created. 84 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.560 Okay, make sure we keep in mind there is a 85 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.839 touch of hysteria in this issue. 86 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.800 A touch. Well, that's what happens in a vacuum. 87 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.399 You don't get information right away or for three weeks, 88 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.839 and you start coming up with your own information. 89 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.600 The government should know that. 90 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.639 What's worse, they know what's going on, and they're not 91 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.279 telling us, or they have no idea. I would love 92 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.240 it if they knew what was going on. And just 93 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.680 we're not telling us right. 94 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.480 The scarier version is they don't know what's going So 95 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.839 we saw this with COVID and there was a great 96 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.360 There was a great op ed piece in the Wall 97 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.319 Street Journal today, Drones and the cost of lost trust. 98 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.759 The idea that we turn to the fed federal government 99 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.279 and say to them, please tell us, Please tell us 100 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.360 what's going on. Even if you lie to us, Please 101 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.720 tell us what's going on. But to stand there with 102 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.160 your palms in the air and go is the worst 103 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.279 answer you could possibly have. Alejandro Majorcis, the Department of 104 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.680 Homeland Security Secretary, was on ABC yesterday and said, oh, 105 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.160 we are working on it, and we're asking state and 106 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.279 local authorities in New Jersey, New York to take care 107 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:30.800 of it as well. 108 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.240 To assure the American public that we in the federal 109 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.279 government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the 110 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.279 New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings. Some 111 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.399 of those drone sightings are in fact drones, some are 112 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.600 manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. 113 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.279 Low t. 114 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.040 He said that one of the reasons seeing this is 115 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.680 because there was a change of an FAA rule last 116 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.839 year that allows drones to fly at night. 117 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.439 That's why there's an uptick in drone sightings. 118 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.600 Maybe it is just people at drones all getting together. 119 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.560 And fly in their drones. 120 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.319 Yeah, then how come none of them have come out 121 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.079 and said, guys, it's just me. 122 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.360 It's just Bob. I'm down the. 123 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.160 Street of your neighbor. I didn't mean to I didn't 124 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.040 mean to scare anybody. 125 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:25.879 Excellent point. Where is Bob? 126 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.000 And there are there are reports of drones that come 127 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:31.959 in from the ocean. 128 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.839 Now a listen. I'm not saying they're real or not. 129 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:34.600 I don't know. 130 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.399 I'm just saying there are sworn law enforcement officers in 131 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.879 the state of New Jersey who say, I have no 132 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.519 idea what's going on, but as I'm driving my patrol car, 133 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.360 I saw a couple dozen of these things coming in 134 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.120 from the ocean. 135 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.839 Yes, and there's there is video. I don't know if 136 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.800 it's verified video, but it's on Twitter. There's also the 137 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:59.000 aerospace boss who says that they're trying to smell radioactive material. 138 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:00.759 Have you read this? 139 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.199 Whoa? 140 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.120 We have talked many times about the cabinet appointees making 141 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.879 our way around Capitol Hill, turns out that RFK Junior 142 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.360 is going to be meeting with Republican lawmakers today trying 143 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.199 to make his case to be the Health and Human 144 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.399 Services Secretary. Said that he does not want to take 145 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.160 away access to vaccines, but has question there at safety 146 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.279 and that's one of the issues that's going to come up. 147 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.639 President elect Trump continues his long winded news conference there 148 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:31.560 down to mar A Lago. 149 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.800 One of the issues that he was asked. 150 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:38.360 About was the quest I suppose to have his daughter 151 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.600 in law be appointed the new senator from Florida to 152 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.959 take over for Marco Rubio. 153 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.040 That's going to be real power play between Trump and DeSantis. 154 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.279 Yeah, A good long article today is basically that DeSantis 155 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.879 is considering her I mean, it kind of has to 156 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.000 with this way. If it's the re question President elect, 157 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.399 what is he going to get for it? But for 158 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.519 what and why? I mean, what is what would benefit? 159 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.279 Is he doing the calculus of we need someone who's 160 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.000 going to benefit the state of Florida, or do we 161 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.120 need somebody who's going to be close to the President 162 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:10.920 of the United States. 163 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.199 It's all about the power and what's he going to 164 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.639 get and does he want to bend the knee to Trump, 165 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.160 and Trump's all about I want to tell you what 166 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.079 to do, and you're going to do it because I 167 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.199 wield that kind of power. 168 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.000 He says he will. 169 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.399 By the way, Trump today said he will look at 170 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:30.040 pardoning Mayor Eric Adams, who's facing those bribery charges. 171 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.639 Interesting. 172 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.159 Eric Adams has come out and has talked about last 173 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.240 week he was talking about he's going to work with 174 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.799 Tom Holm. And the borders are basically crossing lines that 175 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.840 the Democratic Party would have considered untenable before Nancy Pelosi 176 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.080 got her hip replaced. That was not a surprise. We 177 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.360 knew that she fell while she was in Luxembourg. She 178 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.559 was taken to a military hospital in Germany. Eighty four 179 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:59.240 year olds and broken hips are not often a good combination. 180 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.039 Not good usually. That was the kiss of death right 181 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.840 in the eighties. Grandma broke her hip. She's not gonna 182 00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.200 make it. My grandma broke her hip when she was 183 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.919 like in her fifties or sixties or something. Never got 184 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.399 the operation, just walked like Jim harbought for her whole life. 185 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.960 She walked around with cleats basically, you know how he walked. 186 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.960 Cleats on the sideline. 187 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.960 No, but you know she's terrified of that operation, and 188 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.679 it's it's not good at eighty four. 189 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.200 It's different if you're an athlete. 190 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.080 You're moving around and you get your hip replaced in 191 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.679 your fifties because people are doing that because the surgery 192 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:34.679 has been streamlined over the years. 193 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.759 We played the segment that the handle had on the drones. 194 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.720 He makes more sense than you do. 195 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.840 I'm gonna I'm gonna. 196 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.919 God, i'd hear it. I didn't hear the segment. 197 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.159 That's a veto let me play this. 198 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.799 This is Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, talking 199 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.799 about what's going and by the way, he said he 200 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.679 saw a drone over his backyard. 201 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.200 Most recently, administration and state authorities have to be more 202 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.279 vocal and let people know exactly what they're doing. It's 203 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.159 a lack of communication from the government at the federal 204 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:10.559 and state level that's at fault. Here. 205 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.279 I mentioned that Wall Street Journal op ed piece. It 206 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.399 says no one in Washington seems to be able to 207 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.679 convincingly explain these sightings. A joint statement by the FBI 208 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.000 and Department of Homeland Security says, we have no evidence 209 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.240 at this time that the reported drone sidings pose a 210 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.039 national security or public safety threat, or even have a 211 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.360 foreign nexus. 212 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.240 Okay, that's all. Listen. 213 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.039 All that is is absolutely probably true. They don't have 214 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.960 any evidence that it's bad. But we've got to be 215 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:43.279 able to defend against drones which have become a massive 216 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:50.399 useful bullet in the wartime game plans. 217 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.360 We just did you just listen to handle segment on 218 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.559 drones and then you're. 219 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.200 No, Okay why I was just trying to make sense 220 00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:58.399 of it. 221 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.840 You were just you were just searching for your words, 222 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.480 So I thought that you're. John Ferguson is the CEO 223 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:09.360 of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas. He's weighed 224 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.960 in on the drones in a TikTok post it has 225 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.080 gone viral. He says that the action could be due 226 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.600 to potential gas leaks or radioactive material. 227 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:23.159 He says in this nine minute video that the. 228 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.120 Only reason an unmanned aircraft would be flown at night 229 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.720 was if its operator was looking for something. He says, 230 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.159 my own guess is that these drones are not nefarious 231 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.000 in intent. 232 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.840 If they are, they are, but I doubt it. 233 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.559 The only reason they'd be flying and flying that lowestcause 234 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.399 they're trying to smell something on the ground, to. 235 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.240 Which I say, how is that not nefarious? What kind 236 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.039 of what? 237 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:47.080 Well? 238 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.799 Is he suggesting that it's like a one of the 239 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.159 utilities is out there searching for leaks or something like that. 240 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.919 The utility raise its hand and say, we're searching for leaks. 241 00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.759 Nobody's coming forward. 242 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.240 To your point. 243 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.679 Yeah, that's the that's the end. Listen. 244 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.360 You mentioned my Orcus and the rule that he said 245 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.799 on ABC's This Week yesterday where they've changed. September of 246 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.879 last year, they had changed the rules that they can 247 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.399 allow drones to fly at night as long as they 248 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.360 meet the certain parameters. They've got to be well lit, 249 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.559 they've got to be visible within three miles all, I mean, 250 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.960 all these rules. Yeah, which is fine. I have not 251 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.720 done this yet, but I'm curious, if you just in 252 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.720 any neighborhood in southern California, if you just stood out 253 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.879 on your porch, back porch, backyard long enough, are you 254 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.080 going to see these things? I mean, are they ubiquitous 255 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.320 enough that you're going to see them regardless? 256 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.039 I mean, if you're looking for them, you're going to 257 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:39.399 see them. 258 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.080 If you're just driving to or from the restaurant or 259 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.879 something you're not necessarily going to notice it. 260 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.320 Well, there are people walking outside in southern California and 261 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:52.360 noticing these. Video was sent in to KTLA by a 262 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:57.000 guy in Redondo Beach, described as moving light zooming across 263 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:58.919 the sky. He saw it, well, he was putting up 264 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.399 his Christmas lights. He said, what's this? They're just hanging out. 265 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:08.559 There are alleged drones flying above riverside in footage uploaded 266 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:12.480 to TikTok to Mecula as well. I mean, but drones 267 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.960 are I think to your point, everywhere we just don't 268 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.480 notice them, and now are we just? Is this just 269 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.519 hysteria where one drone news story births one thousand more 270 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.919 just because it's top of mind. 271 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.840 Well, and I'll go back to the balloon story, the 272 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.720 Chinese spy balloon that floated over the United States for 273 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.600 eight days. People started seeing balloons everywhere. Yeah, I mean 274 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.200 to the point where we were scrambling jets to shoot 275 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.960 them down even if they were nothing. 276 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.519 That's right. 277 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.600 So yes, I mean, people look up for the first 278 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.559 time all week because their face is buried in their 279 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.360 phone or whatever. 280 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.720 I think the takeaway is that the Emperor has no clothes. 281 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.960 We think that we have the brightest minds that know 282 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.320 everything over there in Washington, and I don't think they 283 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:55.440 know Jack s. 284 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.559 So who Well, yeah, but then who does Who is 285 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.960 the person? Who's the agency's who? 286 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.919 I don't know. I don't know about that. Huh. 287 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:14.840 Luigi Mangioni is pulling in all kinds of cash to 288 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.480 pay for his. 289 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.000 Lawyers and all kinds of tail. 290 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.799 What's going on with you people? 291 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.320 A new motion introduced by a couple of La County 292 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.279 supervisors would declare the closing of Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall 293 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.399 a local emergency that would grant the county access to 294 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.320 powers that are usually reserved for things like natural disasters 295 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.440 to try to avoid here's the thing they're trying to avoid, 296 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.159 putting communities in extreme peril. If you remember, of course, 297 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.519 the facility was legally required to close Thursday, last Thursday, 298 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.080 but La County has defied that state law. One of 299 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.200 the reasons is they said the two hundred and sixty 300 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.480 juvenile inmates there. The only other option if they're not 301 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.000 at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall is you release them back 302 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.000 into their communities. 303 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.360 That is the concern to tomorrow. LA County is going 304 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.320 to be looking at that at that resolution. 305 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:08.679 Several online defense funds have been created for Luigi Mangioni 306 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.120 by anonymous people. You know, I wouldn't mention his name 307 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.679 as much, but it's such a fun name to say, 308 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.559 isn't that awful? 309 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.000 That's why you say it awful? 310 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.279 Including one defense fund on the crowdfunding website give Send Go. 311 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.639 As of yesterday morning, they had raised over one hundred 312 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.440 thousand dollars. This is the guy that shot and killed 313 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:36.000 United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan. Of course, 314 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.639 there's a lot of resentment of corporate power that exists 315 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.840 in this country. A lot of it stems from some 316 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.559 of the most well to do people like himself. 317 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:48.120 Right. 318 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.919 It's that Ivy League way. 319 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:55.200 Of thinking that corporate greed and power is bad. It's 320 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.440 very prevalent on all college campuses. 321 00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:57.639 Really. 322 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.360 I mean I remember thinking that way when I was 323 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.759 a poor college student, and oh the man in corporate 324 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.440 America and it's all greed, and it's a very common 325 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.240 thought process. I'm still in the camp of this guy 326 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.879 was a male in his early twenties, and we've seen 327 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.759 it time and time again. If that's the time of 328 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.000 life when if there's going to be a brain chemistry 329 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.840 shortage or the wiring goes bad, that's when it happens. 330 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.240 And there is something could be both, It could be both. 331 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.799 Yeah, there is something admirable about someone taking up a 332 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.879 fight on behalf of someone else, sure, especially the little guy, 333 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.600 especially the little guy. But this guy does not appear 334 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:43.600 to have been harmed by insurance companies, at least at 335 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.000 this point. 336 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:44.480 We haven't. 337 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.000 We haven't gotten the information. We know that he you know, 338 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.879 we know that he had serious health issues. He had 339 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.440 that spondyl of Noah, I was gonna say it perfectly, 340 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:58.320 spondalo life thesis, a back problem that apparently has aggravated 341 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.639 while he was surfing in Hawaii, and it was chronic 342 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.360 pain and it was difficult. His mother may have also 343 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:09.119 suffered from chronic back pain. But there's nothing to suggest 344 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.920 that he was denied coverage because of any of that. 345 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.319 There's also something going on in our culture of being 346 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.680 aggrieved for other people. 347 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.160 Yeah, And my point in saying that it's an admirable 348 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.599 thing for you to be able to pick up and 349 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:25.839 take on a fight on behalf of someone who can't 350 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.799 do it themselves. 351 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:30.640 But this is the egregious. 352 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.279 Bastardization of that, you know, fighting the good fight kind 353 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.000 of thing.
