Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app on this January twenty third, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Elmer says, it's the nineteenth.
Speaker 3: It is a Thursday. Elmer says, it's the nineteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that says right there, one nineteen.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, come on, do your own work. You're
Speaker 1: just gonna jump off a bridge if Elmer told you to.
Speaker 2: He has a very convincing way about him.
Speaker 3: He does. I actually would probably end it.
Speaker 2: All for you'd at least get to the edge of
Speaker 2: the bridge.
Speaker 3: I think about it.
Speaker 1: Do you like how we took a typo suicide? E?
Speaker 3: It does to take it too far.
Speaker 4: President Trump spoke to an international audience of business leaders,
Speaker 4: in politicians, and other elites at the World Economic Forums
Speaker 4: annual events in Davos, Switzerland.
Speaker 2: He was there via a video link.
Speaker 4: Republican led Senate is today advance seeing some more of
Speaker 4: the cabinet nominees, including John Ratcliffe, Trump's choice to lead
Speaker 4: the CIA.
Speaker 1: Davos, Switzerland sounds like a place I'd want to sit
Speaker 1: with John co Belt in a blue lagoon.
Speaker 2: I don't believe you don't.
Speaker 1: His travel advertisements make you want to get out there
Speaker 1: and do weird travels.
Speaker 4: Travel Sit in one of those steambaths with a Japanese
Speaker 4: monkey or something. Yes, CNN is going to be laying
Speaker 4: off a couple hundred employees. That's about six hundred sorry,
Speaker 4: this is about six percent of its workforce. The environment
Speaker 4: for cable TV has been on a downward path, they said.
Speaker 4: CNN averaged five hundred and seventy eight thousand primetime viewers
Speaker 4: in the three months through December. That's down seventy four
Speaker 4: percent from its peak in the fourth quarter of twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: It's now third among the major cable networks.
Speaker 2: Can believe that.
Speaker 1: Well, we are still on the fire lines out there
Speaker 1: at the Hughes Fire. We are not, but hardworking firefighters
Speaker 1: are for another week, another very busy week here as
Speaker 1: we contend with the dry conditions. Yes, we do have
Speaker 1: rain in the forecast for the weekend. Luckily, it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it's going to be enough to cause any
Speaker 1: mudslide damage, although they are on high alert for that.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's going to be just enough to
Speaker 1: give us a little bit of water without causing any
Speaker 1: major issues in the burn areas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, depending on where you are, somewhere between a quarter
Speaker 4: of an inch in as much as an inch, probably
Speaker 4: higher in the mountains. It's also nice because the snow
Speaker 4: level is going to be relatively low, which may cause
Speaker 4: some issues if you're driving, for example, in the home Pass,
Speaker 4: if you're up in the Grapevine, they may shut that
Speaker 4: down because of snow and ice, which is not that uncommon.
Speaker 4: That would be probably Saturday night into Sunday morning, when
Speaker 4: we can expect to have some of the some of
Speaker 4: the rain coming in.
Speaker 2: The huge fire.
Speaker 4: I noticed I'm looking at the entire smoke plume yesterday
Speaker 4: as I'm driving home because I drive that direction, and
Speaker 4: I was pretty surprised that.
Speaker 2: Even though there were thousands.
Speaker 4: Of people who had to evacuate, there has not been
Speaker 4: one structure reported damaged in that entire thing, right, And
Speaker 4: that's obviously to the credit of the firefighters, to the
Speaker 4: prepositioning the assets that they had done yesterday.
Speaker 1: Not to minimize that, but it's different. It's very different
Speaker 1: in terms of the access to water, in terms of
Speaker 1: what areas were burned through.
Speaker 3: These weren't neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: A lot of wild land, a lot of shaparral that
Speaker 1: had been very heavily fortified when we had the rains
Speaker 1: in the past few years before we had the dry spell.
Speaker 1: But you weren't dealing with what you saw, for instance,
Speaker 1: in the Palisades, where you really had that wildland interface. Yes,
Speaker 1: there are some communities out there, but it wasn't as
Speaker 1: densely populated of an area as we saw with Altadena
Speaker 1: and the Palisades.
Speaker 4: In any other environment, in any other year, under red
Speaker 4: flag conditions, this would have been described as an explosive
Speaker 4: fire threatening, you know. I mean, obviously it was right,
Speaker 4: but in comparison into the recent history, I mean just
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, this is a nothing.
Speaker 2: And I don't mean it to you know people.
Speaker 4: I know they had to evacuate, and that's a hassle
Speaker 4: and it's scary. But this is a nothing compared to
Speaker 4: what happened in the Palistates and over in Altadena. So
Speaker 4: the good news is that it sits right now, just
Speaker 4: over ten thousand acres.
Speaker 2: For the most part.
Speaker 4: The evacuation orders directly around the lake itself and to
Speaker 4: the north of the lake continue. But for the most part,
Speaker 4: I mean this has been good work by all of
Speaker 4: the fire crews involved, and seventy six acres fourteen percent containment.
Speaker 4: A lot of the zones had been reduced from evacuation
Speaker 4: orders to evacuation warnings. In fact, just a short time ago,
Speaker 4: most of those areas between the lake and I five
Speaker 4: are now just evacuation warning areas because the fire never
Speaker 4: made its way to the west side of Castac Lake.
Speaker 3: What does the future will?
Speaker 1: The future has met the present, has it for a
Speaker 1: lot of people when it comes to insurance in California,
Speaker 1: But what does the future hold? Insurance companies say what
Speaker 1: you will, but you do want them to make a profit.
Speaker 1: Why because one day they may need to write you
Speaker 1: a big check.
Speaker 3: You may need them to write you a big check.
Speaker 1: Now, we heard stories of people's insurance being canceled, and
Speaker 1: that was exactly what happened. California a losing gamble for
Speaker 1: insurance companies. So what they did was got rid of
Speaker 1: the highest risk customers, people who live out there in
Speaker 1: the wildland, air and interface areas. We heard from people
Speaker 1: in the Palisades that had lost their insurance just months
Speaker 1: before that fire hit, and that's why so many people
Speaker 1: lost their home insurance because it was like, let's get
Speaker 1: rid of the people whose checks will be astronomical if
Speaker 1: we have to write them, and just take care of
Speaker 1: the people that we could take care of. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about what that looks like going forward as well.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2: Six forty. Fires continue to be the big story.
Speaker 4: The Hues fire up near Lake Castick about ten one
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy six acres fourteen percent containment. A lot
Speaker 4: of those evacuation orders from yesterday and last night have
Speaker 4: been downgraded to evacuation warnings, but if you are still
Speaker 4: in the sort of that wild land area to the
Speaker 4: north of that fire, uphill from that fire, those are
Speaker 4: still evacuation order areas. Laguna fire that started near CSU
Speaker 4: Channel Islands and Ventura County about fifteen acres there on
Speaker 4: Round Mountain. They had evacuated the campus and University Glen
Speaker 4: as a precaution. They do not expect this thing to
Speaker 4: get too much out of control or to threaten infrastructure,
Speaker 4: but they are being careful. And then the Subulvti fire
Speaker 4: started last night off the four or five freeway but
Speaker 4: hit about forty acres. Forward progress has been halted within
Speaker 4: a couple of hours. At this point, they're still saying
Speaker 4: zero percent containment, but they do not expect that fire
Speaker 4: to flare up. But we are still in our red
Speaker 4: flag warning. In fact, it was extended once again until
Speaker 4: tomorrow and then the chance for rain that we've been
Speaker 4: talking about comes in Saturday into Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: A debate that has lasted the test of time.
Speaker 1: Recently, Starbucks and their bathrooms decisions. Starbucks allow announced last
Speaker 1: week a new code of conduct that says people need
Speaker 1: to make a purchase if they want to hang out
Speaker 1: or use the restroom. Their policy change for bathroom privileges
Speaker 1: has left people, they say, confused and divided over who
Speaker 1: gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association a
Speaker 1: public toilet advocacy group. I'm sorry, what imagine that business
Speaker 1: card if they still had them.
Speaker 2: What does that meeting sound like, Bob?
Speaker 1: How many squares did you encounter at the home depot? Well, James,
Speaker 1: it was a shallow roll. There were only two squares remaining.
Speaker 2: I'm going to blow your mind, Bob.
Speaker 1: You're going to have to get the petition over there
Speaker 1: to that home DEPOTL sereno.
Speaker 4: They don't even have squares where we come from. Whoa
Speaker 4: un perforated? WHOA think of the dangers there?
Speaker 3: I remember? Never mind, story for another time.
Speaker 4: And probably not on the air, Probably not anyway.
Speaker 1: The American Restroom Association was among the critics for this.
Speaker 1: Rules about restroom access, of course, vary when it comes
Speaker 1: to restaurants by state, city, county, And there's a big
Speaker 1: argument that private business businesses get to say who and
Speaker 1: when the restrooms get used by whom and when the
Speaker 1: restrooms get used. I think it paying customers is a
Speaker 1: perfectly acceptable thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it Well, because feelings. You have to look
Speaker 1: at homeless shoot up their drugs in a nice restroom,
Speaker 1: don't you.
Speaker 4: Yes, with a lock on the door, so that maybe
Speaker 4: thresh needles inside. Well, they're doing their sink show.
Speaker 1: You can put the fresh needles right by the baby
Speaker 1: changing table.
Speaker 4: Yeah, put the sharp's box next to the changing table. Well,
Speaker 4: this may not sound sexy, but Californiaans actually pay a
Speaker 4: pretty good deal when are have a pretty good deal
Speaker 4: when it comes to homeowners insurance.
Speaker 1: California's average cost for homeowners insurance ranks is the ninth
Speaker 1: lowest among the forty eight states. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: is because they did cut all those high risk people.
Speaker 1: All of those highest risk customers who live in the
Speaker 1: expensive homes in the wildland urban interface areas were just
Speaker 1: cut so they could lower the bar Florida. Florida homeowners
Speaker 1: live at the most peril pay Accordingly, their typical annual
Speaker 1: premiums are sixty six hundred dollars, the second highest. Now
Speaker 1: we're number two on the hazards scorecard, but our premiums
Speaker 1: are just about two thousand. What is it, sixty six hundred,
Speaker 1: We're about two thousand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, something. That means that we've been getting a pretty
Speaker 4: good deal. Add to that, about one estimate says that
Speaker 4: about ten percent of homeowners in California don't bother to
Speaker 4: get home insurance at all, so that takes them out
Speaker 4: of the market. But if you think about what's going
Speaker 4: to happen with thousands of more than ten thousand homes
Speaker 4: and businesses burned out by the palisades and eaten fires
Speaker 4: and whatever else Mother Nature has in store for us
Speaker 4: over these next couple of weeks, you have to imagine
Speaker 4: that those insurance companies are going to be even more skittish,
Speaker 4: which is why there is regulation in the state of California.
Speaker 2: It's one of those.
Speaker 4: The necessary evils perhaps when it comes to government bureaucracy,
Speaker 4: is that people need to have a way to make
Speaker 4: sure that they can recover in the event that.
Speaker 2: There is a disaster like this.
Speaker 4: So we have our Fair Plan, right which if you
Speaker 4: get bumped off of your homeowner's insurance policy, you can
Speaker 4: apply for the Fair Plan, which is the state funded insurance.
Speaker 4: But it's the basic It's like catastrophic health insurance. It's
Speaker 4: the absolute worst case scenario with very little money. You're
Speaker 4: never going to be able to rebuild using the Fair Plan.
Speaker 4: They cap it at a certain level, and that Fair
Speaker 4: Plan is going to be absolutely broke by the time
Speaker 4: the first fifty claims come in from these two fires.
Speaker 2: That's going to be going away.
Speaker 4: The Fair Plan could refill the financial hole by collecting
Speaker 4: a surcharge that would boost home insurance premiums for everybody
Speaker 4: in the state of California. Right if you live here,
Speaker 4: you pay your private insurance company. They may have to
Speaker 4: they may be able to tack on a certain tax
Speaker 4: lean However, whatever term you want to use to refund
Speaker 4: that fair plan. But you think about that, that means
Speaker 4: automatically your premiums are going to go up. And then
Speaker 4: whatever company you are with, if they are on the
Speaker 4: hook for a lot of these payouts for a lot
Speaker 4: of the people in Palisades and Altadena, then your premiums
Speaker 4: likely will go up as well. Obviously you're going to
Speaker 4: could be charged for the indirect cost of the policies
Speaker 4: that so far in southern California or in California in
Speaker 4: general have been relatively low.
Speaker 2: But it does not look good. And I don't even know.
Speaker 2: You can still shop around.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the great part about insurance is that
Speaker 4: it is an open market when it comes to homeowners insurance.
Speaker 4: But that doesn't mean you're going to get a great deal,
Speaker 4: and we may never see deals like we currently have
Speaker 4: because of these fires.
Speaker 1: And speaking of the fire out at CSU Channel Islands,
Speaker 1: Ventura County, they do have road closures there for Potrero
Speaker 1: Road and Lewis Road south of Pleasant Valley. They see
Speaker 1: the fires now fifty acres per Incident Command there. All
Speaker 1: fixed wing aircraft have been released, so that's good. They
Speaker 1: are asking for more engines on that one.
Speaker 2: Let's do some good news. Oh, okay, what do we
Speaker 2: got egg?
Speaker 3: Watch Jackie and Shadow Easy.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jackie and Shadow.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Fires continue to be
Speaker 4: the top story today. The Laguna fire burning out in
Speaker 4: the Ventura County area near Csu Channel Islands, up to
Speaker 4: about fifty acres they said, right around and on Round
Speaker 4: Mountain there Potrero and right along Potrero Road, which happens
Speaker 4: to be closed. So that is getting a lot of
Speaker 4: attention today. The Hughes fire up near Castake Lake has
Speaker 4: slowed considerably. It's at about ten one hundred plus acres
Speaker 4: fourteen percent containment.
Speaker 2: Those are less numbers that we had.
Speaker 4: As of about eleven o'clock last night, most of the
Speaker 4: evacuation orders had been downgraded to warnings, and then at
Speaker 4: about two o'clock this morning, they had enough of it
Speaker 4: handled that they let the helicopters go for the night.
Speaker 2: They are back out there today.
Speaker 4: And then the supulvet of fire last night just before
Speaker 4: midnight really turned out to be, thankfully, not much of
Speaker 4: anything topped out at about forty acres, but we have
Speaker 4: some breaking news out of Seattle. A federal judge has blocked,
Speaker 4: at least temporarily, President Trump's attempt to rescind birthright citizenship.
Speaker 4: The district judge John Kunauer said, I've been on the
Speaker 4: bench for over four decades.
Speaker 2: This is his writing.
Speaker 4: By the way, no punches pulled. I've been on the
Speaker 4: bench for over four decades. I can't remember another case
Speaker 4: where the question presented is as clear as this one is.
Speaker 4: This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.
Speaker 2: He wrote.
Speaker 4: There are other times in world history where we look
Speaker 4: back and people of goodwill can say, where were the judges?
Speaker 2: Where were the lawyers? John Kunauer?
Speaker 4: The judge interrupted a Justice Department attorney before he could
Speaker 4: even complete his first sentence in that hearing today and said,
Speaker 4: is your opinion? In your opinion? Is this executive order constitutional?
Speaker 4: And then he said it is. And the judge said, frankly,
Speaker 4: I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar
Speaker 4: could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order.
Speaker 1: The case is one of five lawsuits being brought by
Speaker 1: twenty two states and a number of immigrants rights groups
Speaker 1: across the country. They the suits include personal testimonies from
Speaker 1: ags who are US citizens by birthright. Names of pregnant
Speaker 1: women who are afraid there are children won't become US citizens.
Speaker 1: This is supposed to take effect February nineteenth, just for.
Speaker 3: Frame of reference.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, there were about two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty five thousand births of citizens children to mothers living
Speaker 1: in the country illegally.
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, it's different now than it was when
Speaker 4: the fourteenth Amendment was ratified. But it is, according to
Speaker 4: the judge constitutional. I mean that the Constitution, the attempt
Speaker 4: to rescind it is unconstable.
Speaker 3: Well, like we said yesterday, it would require an amendment
Speaker 3: to the Constitution.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is how you not through executive order. You
Speaker 4: don't get to do it that way. That's not how
Speaker 4: those work.
Speaker 2: Here's some good news.
Speaker 4: Are our friends are Bald Eagle friends up in Big
Speaker 4: Bear have laid their first egg at the season.
Speaker 3: Like you care, You're putting on your own caring.
Speaker 4: You know why let me because I've been let down
Speaker 4: before and it frustrates me.
Speaker 1: It's hurtful. It is hurtful what we've gone through with
Speaker 1: Jackie and Shadow. Of course it had there's been heartbreak.
Speaker 1: But listen, let's let's focus on the positive. Shall we
Speaker 1: focus on the positive? You'll get more of it. Jackie
Speaker 1: has laid an egg, y'all. Yes, Jackie in Shadow, Big
Speaker 1: Bear's beloved bald Eagle duo have laid their first egg
Speaker 1: of the season. This is a few days earlier than
Speaker 1: her first egg of twenty twenty four, which made its
Speaker 1: grand debut January twenty fifth.
Speaker 2: Well, lo and behold.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, January twenty second is when that egg popped out,
Speaker 1: about five pm.
Speaker 2: Popped out.
Speaker 1: There will be more eggs soon to come. Possibly Jackie
Speaker 1: has laid a second egg around three days after the first.
Speaker 1: Usually in past years, we don't need to tell you
Speaker 1: that Jackie and Shadow of captivated people the world over.
Speaker 1: People stay up to date on Jackie and Shadow. They
Speaker 1: watch them on YouTube moment to moment. The stream is
Speaker 1: always feeding. The signs have been building in recent weeks, guys.
Speaker 1: There have been impromptu nest visits, the moving of sticks,
Speaker 1: the cozy, amorous signs, and nearby trees.
Speaker 2: Nearby trees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, those feelings, call them eagle sense if you will.
Speaker 1: Turned out to be correct. Jackie laid an egg yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1: The Bird's Tea kettling was the giveaway that an egg
Speaker 1: was on its wonderful way. Tea kettling, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: ask is a term that describes the sounds made during
Speaker 1: the telltale event. Imagine a tea kettling on the stove
Speaker 1: as you get ready for that cup of tea.
Speaker 3: That's what it.
Speaker 1: Sounds like when an egg gets ready to squirt out
Speaker 1: as Jackie right, there's a lot of air.
Speaker 3: Because the agg what are you talking about?
Speaker 2: The bird doesn't whistle like a tea kettle.
Speaker 3: That's why they call it tea kettling.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, no, there's got to be something else. It
Speaker 4: can't whistle like a tea kettle.
Speaker 1: I think it does. Let me see if I can
Speaker 1: pull up video of a tea kettling eagle. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: you're doing that.
Speaker 2: I think it's taught enough up in them fires to
Speaker 2: fry an eagle egg.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's awful.
Speaker 2: Yes it is. I would say it's definitely out of enough.
Speaker 1: It's it's a whistling, I'm telling you. Yeah, sounds like
Speaker 1: a tea kettle.
Speaker 4: No, do you hear that? I do hear it, and
Speaker 4: it is not a tea kettle. Your tea kettle is broken.
Speaker 4: It just sounds like there's steam coming out.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. There's not a whistle. Yeah, there's a whistle.
Speaker 3: Listen, No, not listening.
Speaker 2: Not listening.
Speaker 4: Screens are ubiquitous now in our classrooms.
Speaker 2: No, nobody can hear anything. No, there's no squeaking.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it sounds like a tea kettle.
Speaker 3: Maybe the beginning of a tea kettle.
Speaker 1: No, pretty good audio too, Why, okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you have against love and keep childbirth,
Speaker 1: eagle eagle.
Speaker 2: Birth, chromebooks, YouTube, Google.
Speaker 4: Docs, screens everywhere in our life.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm kind of torn because I hate the kids
Speaker 1: on screens thing. But if that's the way they're learning.
Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: We'll explain why even kids are upset about all of
Speaker 4: these screens.
Speaker 1: We should have an old man slash old women woman
Speaker 1: river sounder from when we're about to sound real old.
Speaker 4: Gary and Shannon will continue, I don't know, trying to
Speaker 4: play a video of a bird whistling while steaming or
Speaker 4: whatever you were playing.
Speaker 3: Wow, so it's not called that.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: We did the bread. We did the fresh pasta.
Speaker 2: My wife has done that a couple of times within
Speaker 2: the last couple of months.
Speaker 3: Oh really, that sounds.
Speaker 2: Good, really good.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, like what kinds?
Speaker 4: Lately it's been the carmeli kind of wow, sweet vanilla stuff, fun,
Speaker 4: really good. There are a couple of developing stories politically speaking.
Speaker 4: A judge in Seattle has blocked President Trump's attempt to
Speaker 4: rescind birthright citizenship.
Speaker 2: We talked about that.
Speaker 4: This is one of at least five different lawsuits that
Speaker 4: have been filed over that executive order.
Speaker 2: But we also just heard out of.
Speaker 4: The Senate that Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says she
Speaker 4: will vote against Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense,
Speaker 4: talking about his past infidelity and allegations sexual assault, excessive drinking.
Speaker 4: She posted a statement on x that she had significant
Speaker 4: concerns about his nomination. This Senate is supposed to vote
Speaker 4: on cloture for the nomination today this afternoon, that is,
Speaker 4: which would set up a final vote tomorrow. He did
Speaker 4: advance out of the Armed Services Committee on a party
Speaker 4: line vote, and he does not have a lot of
Speaker 4: votes to give if he is in fact going to
Speaker 4: be confirmed as a Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 1: Mention the pandemic when it came to why did we
Speaker 1: make ice cream? Well, there were a number of pandemic
Speaker 1: era things that went on that have stuck with us.
Speaker 1: Whether it's wearing pajamas as we work from home, wearing
Speaker 1: pajamas in the workplace, what have you. And one of
Speaker 1: those things has been screens when it comes to learning,
Speaker 1: this move towards screens in the classroom has happened with
Speaker 1: little debate, little attention to this, and there is conflicting research.
Speaker 1: We've got kindergarteners watching math lessons on YouTube, We've got
Speaker 1: middle schoolers completing writing drafts on our own books, high
Speaker 1: schoolers using Google Docs for group projects, and it is
Speaker 1: called the digitalization of the classroom.
Speaker 4: Stephanie Galvani is a middle school English teacher in Boston
Speaker 4: and says COVID shifted things toward oh, we could do this,
Speaker 4: but we didn't ask should we do this?
Speaker 1: Of course, kids love the screens, right, you see how
Speaker 1: the addiction plays out at home probably, and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that teachers think, well, if they like the screens, if
Speaker 1: that's what they're paying attention to, maybe they'll pay attention
Speaker 1: to the assignments if we put them on the screens.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that is the thought process, not it's easier
Speaker 1: this way.
Speaker 4: Well, I I have spent a lot of time thinking
Speaker 4: about that, the similarities between food we eat and stuff
Speaker 4: we do with our brain, and how when we talk
Speaker 4: about our wellness segments, we talk about how you can
Speaker 4: get you know, certain nutrients from specific foods or whatever,
Speaker 4: and it's best to have a diverse you know, food
Speaker 4: palate to go from. Don't just you're not going to
Speaker 4: eat twelve steaks a day and call it good. You're
Speaker 4: not going to eat just, you know, a couple of
Speaker 4: things of broccoli and call it good.
Speaker 2: You got to have a mix.
Speaker 4: This almost sounds like, hey, we can get our kids
Speaker 4: to have a multi vitamin, but we're going to put
Speaker 4: it in eight ounces of sugary drink to get that
Speaker 4: the So whatever you're doing, yeah, they'll drink it. They'll
Speaker 4: take their vitamin with this you know, soda or juice
Speaker 4: or whatever that they have. But you're still giving them
Speaker 4: juice as opposed to teaching them how to make sure that.
Speaker 4: I mean, kids aren't going to pay attention to this.
Speaker 4: But how to make sure that they have a well
Speaker 4: balanced diet. Excellent analogy.
Speaker 1: Eighth grader Aubrey or Tis and San Anton says, I
Speaker 1: don't like having my eyes glued on a screen for
Speaker 1: a while. Gives you a headache. I lose my focus.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. What it does for your eyesight.
Speaker 1: If you're constantly looking at a screen close up, it
Speaker 1: really does degenerate your eyes. Sach In terms of short sightedness,
Speaker 1: I noticed the ability to see things far away in definition.
Speaker 4: So last week I didn't wear I wear glasses to read.
Speaker 4: If I read read at night, you know, if I'm
Speaker 4: laying in bed, I'll wear glasses just a little easier.
Speaker 4: It's the end of the day. I don't necessarily need them,
Speaker 4: but it just makes it easier.
Speaker 3: Your wife is into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she thinks I'm somebody else. I where I have
Speaker 4: the kind of little light mustache that ow for groucho
Speaker 4: reading glasses.
Speaker 2: She's like, who's that?
Speaker 4: Oh hello, I better get out before my husband gets here.
Speaker 4: But last week I didn't wear glasses at all. I'm
Speaker 4: going to wear sunglasses because it was in Arizona. But
Speaker 4: I didn't wear glasses at all when I came home.
Speaker 4: I felt better. I just felt like I didn't Uh,
Speaker 4: I had used my eyes the way they were supposed
Speaker 4: to be used.
Speaker 2: That makes sense, yes, I mean I wasn't looking at stay.
Speaker 1: There are muscles that you need to train to work,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't.
Speaker 4: I wasn't looking at computer screens. I wasn't looking. I
Speaker 4: mean I had the TV on once in a while.
Speaker 1: Part of that is also being outside. As much as
Speaker 1: you were outside, that plays a major role in how
Speaker 1: good you feel.
Speaker 3: Overall.
Speaker 4: The doctors and psychologists, of course, have been telling us
Speaker 4: for a long time we need to limit use of technology,
Speaker 4: that there should be strict cut off anything below you know,
Speaker 4: basically eighteen months or two years. You should not give
Speaker 4: your kids technology because it sets them up for the
Speaker 4: wrong types of It wires their brain early on for
Speaker 4: that type of quick reward that they should not be
Speaker 4: accustomed to.
Speaker 3: It's funny when I think back to.
Speaker 1: When you were in school and whether it was a
Speaker 1: rainy day or maybe the teacher was hungover, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but they would wheel in the big boxy TV and
Speaker 1: you would get to watch a VHS movie whatever it
Speaker 1: was PG rated right, And I remember thinking this is
Speaker 1: so cool and thinking like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: so cool. We'll get to watch like a movie or whatever.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, something in mean new, isn't
Speaker 1: this just a waste of time? Like shouldn't I be
Speaker 1: doing something I don't want to do?
Speaker 3: Like learning.
Speaker 4: We had a teacher who was a huge sports guy.
Speaker 4: Huge loved basketball was his thing specifically, but he loved
Speaker 4: all sports. And he would roll in the movie projector
Speaker 4: that's sixteen milimeters projector, and he would throw on an
Speaker 4: NFL film's film.
Speaker 3: What a wonderful man.
Speaker 2: And if you were.
Speaker 4: Good, like if you stayed in your seat, you didn't talk,
Speaker 4: you didn't make noise, he would play it backwards at
Speaker 4: the end, so not only did you get to watch
Speaker 4: a twelve fifteen minute movie or whatever it was, if
Speaker 4: you were well behaved, he would restring that thing. Or
Speaker 4: he wouldn't let it run all the way through and
Speaker 4: he would just run it in reverse, which was funny
Speaker 4: because you know, guys dropped the ball and the wide
Speaker 4: receiver throws the ball back to the quarterback and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like lazys totally wow, I mean, that's next level.
Speaker 3: My dad did that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He was a fourth grade teacher fifth sixth grade at times,
Speaker 1: and he was a big proponent of dittos and a
Speaker 1: lot of screen time. He would play Bill and Ted's
Speaker 1: Excellent Adventure. The kids loved it. He played it year
Speaker 1: after year. But he also would be the first to admit, Eh,
Speaker 1: probably could have given it. Could have given like a
Speaker 1: worksheet or something like that.
Speaker 4: All right, up next, a lot's going on when it
Speaker 4: comes to politics. Right now, we'll update you what's happening
Speaker 4: with the Trump interview from last night, but also a
Speaker 4: couple of big things, the decision about birthright citizenship and
