00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Right now, we are watching the House of Representatives as

5
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>it continues its vote for speaker. For the one hundred

6
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and nineteenth Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to hold

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>onto his seat. We only know of one one Republican

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 2>who has said that he would not vote for Mike Johnson.

9
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 2>That's Thomas Massey out of Kentucky, and he needs every

10
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>other Republican basically to vote for him if he is

11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 2>going to maintain that speaker's gable.

12
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Mike Johnson sent up a Hail Mary on x just

13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>moments before the vote began, saying he will work closely

14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 1>with Elon Musk and Ramas Vivik Ramaswami on spending cuts.

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>He committed in this post to a number of new

16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>steps aimed at reigning in the size and scope of

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the federal government, trying to corral those votes.

18
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is the biggest issue that he's facing, is

19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>is the defectors, those people in the Republican Party who

20
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>have been at least questioning whether they would vote for him.

21
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Said that spending an agreements to spend are the things

22
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>that have really cost him for the most part, big

23
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>quadruple whammy of viruses hitting the United States. Everybody seems

24
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>to have something right now. Infections caused by flu, by covid,

25
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>by RSV, and neurovirus all started to surge over the

26
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Christmas time, of course, when everybody got together and they said,

27
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it's only going to rise as people go back to

28
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>work and we see the peak of the annual flu season.

29
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>There have been hospitals in parts of California, Illinois, Indiana,

30
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey, New York City are all having mask mandates.

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>At least in hospitals in New York City, people have

32
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>been urged to consider wearing a face mask on public transportation.

33
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned when we were talking about the Tesla truck

34
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>crash in front of the Trump Tower in Vegas that

35
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk was working with investment jrigators directly. And you

36
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the Apple lawsuit with Siri and evesdropping.

37
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Did you know the news today about that or you

38
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 3>just prescient?

39
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh the settlement? Yeah, yeah, I knew that.

40
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh then never mind, You're not as magical as I

41
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>thought you were. Uh, it's like one are the odds

42
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 1>birthday gifts.

43
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 3>No, I just thought it was quite the coincidence that

44
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 3>you use that as a.

45
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Reference or trying to break news on this show. Listen,

46
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to give you more credit. The NTSB

47
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>says that this plane that crashed in Fullerton into the

48
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>warehouse near the airport is a kit built plane, essentially

49
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>an aircraft you build at home, then an owner can

50
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>assemble and maintain it once the construction is complete. On

51
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>these bad boys, if you're wondering, the FAA does inspect

52
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the aircraft and clears it for flight. There are about

53
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>eleven thousand of these things, various models of them currently flying.

54
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Was the sound, by the way, what we believe happened

55
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>is the pilot and a passenger, I think it was

56
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>his daughter, had taken off from the airport at Fullerton

57
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and experienced some problem whatever it was, and immediately called

58
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 2>to return to the airport. And you can hear in

59
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>this uh this audio, the air traffic controller saying, Okay,

60
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>we've cleared the runways every this is all you. We've

61
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 2>shut everything down, waiting for you immediate lighting. Rvey.

62
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 3>Can you make a left turn?

63
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 4>Coming?

64
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 3>Romeo traffic no factor, you're number one.

65
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 4>Win calm runway six clear to land or run.

66
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 1>That an instant.

67
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 4>Nothing's going to move till we rectify this or work

68
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 4>on a thank you for your patient shutting down airport

69
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 4>thanks what moment the airport is closed?

70
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>An extensive de lay. Now you can hear there's they

71
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>kind of mashed them together, but there's a moment there

72
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>where you hear the pilot saying, oh my gosh, and

73
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>it kind of sounds like there's a young woman in

74
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the background gasping.

75
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Right the daughter, Yeah, a couple things. Rarely do you

76
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>hear a pilot and I don't know because I don't

77
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of home pilots on the air traffic

78
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>control communication device, but rarely do they sound like that,

79
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>even when they're about to crash.

80
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 4>Right. Yeah.

81
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Also, wouldn't it be nice if everyone had access to

82
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 1>an air traffic controller for like moments in life where

83
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>you're freaking out and you call and you're like, oh

84
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>my god, I just got rear ended and they're like, ma'am,

85
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 1>what we're going to do is we're going to bring

86
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in the police and you're going to pull to the side.

87
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Somebody just like the calm.

88
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 4>On either runway six or two four doesn't matter. Six

89
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 4>or two four their favor choice.

90
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Calm wins six miles per hour.

91
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 4>You're number one the plane.

92
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>After that exchange, the plane turned left toward one of

93
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>the runways but crashed about thousand feet short. Plane crashed

94
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>into a furniture building. Bulletin Police department said that the

95
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>two pass in the plane, believed again to be the

96
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 2>pilot and his.

97
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Daughter, died.

98
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>The aerial footage showed the plane resting just below the

99
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 2>hole on the building's roof and for the people inside,

100
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>they said nineteen people sustained injuries in addition to the

101
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>two deaths. Some of the injuries were pretty serious. Eleven

102
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>people were put in the hospital. Others were treated at

103
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>the scene. About eight people treated at the scene, and

104
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>obviously police evacuated the area near the crash site. The

105
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>FAA usually comes in and does their own investigation into

106
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 2>situation like this, and Fullerton Airport, by the way, is

107
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the same place where the plane was landing that crashed

108
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>into the KFI tower twenty years ago, almost almost exactly

109
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty years ago.

110
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>John Paoli had to go rebuild that thing. God rest

111
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>his soul also from Nevada.

112
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know that. Up next, Gaven.

113
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Newsom continues to hit some points.

114
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Hits these are I mean, these are kind of low

115
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>hanging fruit.

116
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 4>I know.

117
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 1>But this, if it wasn't Gavin Newsome, I wouldn't be

118
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 1>conflicted because like, on one hand, I'm like, absolutely, let's

119
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>do something about the ultra processed foods that are killing us.

120
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>And on the other hand, I'm like, hands off my twinkies.

121
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>If it wasn't Gavin news so I won't be conflicted.

122
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.

123
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's the other thing is it's they're not going to

124
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>take away I mean the cancer warning.

125
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 4>For example, if Vivic Murphy, the.

126
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Other one different Vivid gets his way and he wants

127
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>to put warning labels on alcohol, doesn't mean you can't

128
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>get it right. Same with cigarette. I mean you could

129
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>still buy cigarettes. It maybe the heads up this stuff

130
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>is going to kill yet, right as if you didn't

131
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>already know right As of right now, Mike Johnson has

132
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty eight votes uh Hakeem Jeffreys one

133
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty six to be the next Speaker of

134
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>the House for the one hundred and nineteenth Congress. They

135
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>gaveled ind today and this is their first order of business.

136
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>They got a bunch of other stuff that they'll be

137
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>doing as well, but this will be the first And again,

138
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Mike Johnson is going to need just about every republic

139
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and left. Thomas Massey out of Kentucky's the only one

140
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>who said that he would definitely not vote for Johnson.

141
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>There have been some others that were on the fence

142
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>that have voted in his favor.

143
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 4>So far.

144
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 1>A lot of money to be made in the NFL,

145
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>and nobody's leaving anything on the table. The Caesars Superdome

146
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 1>will be the epicenter for the Super Bowl, right but

147
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Verizon has a game plan to ensure that they make

148
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>cash from this as well. Verizon's going to transform stadiums

149
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and venues across all of the NFL markets into a

150
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>massive coast to coast event called FanFest on February ninth

151
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>on field Access, live music, local chefs, meet and greets

152
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>with NFL legends like Marshall Falk, Jason Witten, Tiki Barber,

153
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Derek Brooks. You can claim free tickets on a first come,

154
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>first serve basis by going to Verizonfanfest dot com so

155
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you get the free tickets, but they're going to probably

156
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>nail you on parking and then everything else.

157
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that's good for them. I mean, that's a smart prize.

158
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>They haven't done that before.

159
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Same.

160
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>So Governor gavenusom is isuan in an executive order trying

161
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.079
<v Speaker 2>to limit the access limit access to ultra processed foods.

162
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 2>He says that he wants California to be nation leading

163
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to nutrition and health standards. And if

164
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that's the case, then why not make here's a simple thing,

165
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>why not make sodas not the number one thing that

166
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>people buy with their snap benefits?

167
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 4>You can, you can.

168
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>You want to make a real difference, you start putting

169
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>barriers around the kinds of foods that people can buy

170
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 2>with their state benefits, targeting the absolutely But that's how

171
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have to do this. I mean people

172
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to again. I use the example of the

173
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 2>timely reference of Vivek Murphy, the Surgeon General, and his

174
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.919
<v Speaker 2>desire to put warnings on alcohol. I don't have a

175
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 2>problem with that at all, because you're not taking away

176
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the right for people to buy and consume alcohol. But

177
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>if you do really want to make a difference, then

178
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>you got to fight to take it out of people's

179
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>hands and their mouths.

180
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>The kind of only way to do this, and I

181
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>only bring this up is because it kind of got

182
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>me to quit smoking, which is, they say, just as

183
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>equally as hard to do as quitting ultra processed foods was.

184
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>You got to shame people, and we're not doing that. No,

185
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 1>just watch the television for twelve minutes, and we are

186
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>holding up onto a pedestal these five dollars menus that

187
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>where you get a chicken sandwich and a double cheeseburger

188
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and fries and McNuggets on the side or whatever nuggets

189
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 1>on the side. I don't mean to target McDonald's, but

190
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying because I love McDonald's, but I'm just saying,

191
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 1>like we as a society hold these things up on

192
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a pedestal, like isn't this so great? Aren't quantities of

193
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>food so great? You can get all of that. You

194
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 1>come to our restaurant, you get seven lights of food

195
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>for nineteen ninety nine. When we stop doing and you've

196
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 1>got to follow the money. People are making money off

197
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>of this, and that's the problem. But when smoking became

198
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where you had to hide from people.

199
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>That's when you saw the numbers plummeting. Is when you

200
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 1>said you can't smoke in bars, you can't smoke in restaurants,

201
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 1>you have to go in the alleyway. And then you

202
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>felt like a heroin addict and all of that. That's

203
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>when it was like, what am I doing right? And

204
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>so if you're going to do this, maybe the light

205
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>way to shame people would be having sections at the

206
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 1>grocery store where it's like the bad zone or whatever.

207
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't like the old like the adult adult section

208
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>in the video or exactly you used to have behind

209
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 2>my little beaded curtains.

210
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad our minds both went there.

211
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, this order does direct state agencies to develop recommendations

212
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to limit the health harms of ultra processed foods, foods,

213
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 2>and calls for proposals to reduce the purchase of candy, soda,

214
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and other unhealthy foods made with synthetic eyes or aditives

215
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>by recipients of government food benefits. So it does take

216
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that step of at least limiting, but it doesn't put

217
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>it off. It doesn't say no altogether. Listen, you can

218
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>go through and for the most part just clearly point

219
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 2>out things that should not be bought with government benefits,

220
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 2>government food benefits. And I don't want to get into

221
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 2>brand names or anything like that, but.

222
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Just to avoid any sort of lawsuits, although you never

223
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 1>be able to do that, but to shield you from

224
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>successful lawsuits, I guess you could tie it to the

225
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 1>fact that if you're getting government assistance, it's also the

226
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>government that's responsible for your health care. So if we're

227
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 1>paying for your health care, we've got to say in

228
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>what you're putting in your mouth.

229
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, that would be one way to do it.

230
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.399
<v Speaker 2>The other thing is, and you're going to have the

231
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 2>hardest issue is you can't, like you said, you're not

232
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be able to just tell people not to

233
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 2>do it. There's got to be some sort of there's

234
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 2>got to be some sort of a cost.

235
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe there's an incentive.

236
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 4>There is a carrot and a stick.

237
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>The incentive is obviously, listen, with all the stories we've

238
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 2>done about ozembic and all these smaglatides, the glp ones,

239
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 2>we talk about the incredible benefits that have come from

240
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 2>these these types of drugs. It's not the drug that

241
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 2>is giving you the benefit. Necessarily. The drug is turning

242
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>off that thing in your brain that tells you that

243
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 2>you're still hungry or that you want that food or whatever.

244
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>It's the fact that you're losing weight that is making

245
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>the huge difference in your health. That's the thing. It's

246
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>not the drug, it's it's what the drug did to

247
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>your chemical brain that then allowed your body to reduce

248
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 2>its weight and that I feel better, I can sleep better,

249
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I can move again. I don't have muscle and bone

250
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>aches or anything like that. I don't know, my cholesterol

251
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>cleared out, whatever it is. Those are the benefits. If

252
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you could teach people that those benefits come from making

253
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 2>simple food choices, then there would be a huge difference.

254
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Or just making smarter choices, like I love a nice

255
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 1>casserole or lasagna or whatever, but there's ways to make

256
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.919
<v Speaker 1>it so it's not.

257
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 4>So don't eat it four times a day.

258
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, you know we made a joke about well,

259
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>pizza right, is that what you're gonna say?

260
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 4>Pizza right?

261
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 2>It's not an everyday thing. It's not every day, it's

262
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 2>not even an every month thing. It's just when it's

263
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>appropriate or fun, it's okay to eat whatever the hell

264
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>you want. You just can't have seven servings of it.

265
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 4>I'll bet you I could.

266
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I've seen you put down some food.

267
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 4>I could.

268
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>But I can't do it all the time. No, I

269
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 2>can't do it all the time. And that's frustrating because

270
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 2>I really want to. But anyway, the one thing that

271
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>he didn't do is he didn't talk about our FK

272
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Junior and all of this.

273
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 3>And listen, he's trying to get a leg up over there.

274
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to do this before Trump takes office, before

275
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>our FK becomes the Secretary of Health and Human Service.

276
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to do it so that he could say, uh, listen,

277
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>uh listen, we've been doing it for a long time, forever.

278
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, They've followed California's path, just like the government always

279
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>can and should.

280
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah blah blah blah. We didn't get a

281
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>chance to talk about it yesterday. New laws for the

282
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 2>state of California. And there's one that is going to

283
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>be a particular there's one that has me scratching my head.

284
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 4>And I'll explain which one it is and why I

285
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:27.440
<v Speaker 4>don't quite get it.

286
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, it about cannabis.

287
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 1>It is not Is it about fertility treatments with egg retrieval?

288
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 4>No?

289
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Is it about crosswalks?

290
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, story out of DC.

291
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 2>It looks as if Mike Johnson is going to lose

292
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the first speakership vote. We just saw Republican Congressman Ralph

293
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Norman of South Carolina vote for Jim Jordan to be

294
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Speaker of the House. So there's now two Republicans who

295
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 2>voted against Mike Johnson. Of course, Thomas out of Kentucky

296
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 2>was the other one, and he could only Mike Johnson

297
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>could only afford one defection, and we saw that with

298
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Massey. Ralph Norman of South Carolina is the second one.

299
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 2>So this looks unlikely that he would get the first

300
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Scott has ballot Hall of Fame.

301
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 4>We don't know.

302
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 2>And again this is like you said earlier at the

303
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the show, this is when all the deal

304
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>making takes place. Mike Johnson has said he's not going

305
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>to make any deals. That's not how he does his job.

306
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see if there are. If he's not making deals,

307
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>someone might be.

308
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>A year after that panel blew out of the Boeing

309
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>seven thirty seven MAX during flight, the FAA says the

310
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 1>company needs to change its culture and put safety above profits.

311
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Let me repeat that.

312
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 1>A year after the panel the door blew off mid flight,

313
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.919
<v Speaker 1>they say, maybe you worry less about the almighty buck

314
00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and more about not killing people.

315
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Seems a little late to the game.

316
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Good timing.

317
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Meteorologists are looking for a strong snow and ice storm

318
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>followed by very cold conditions along the eastern two thirds

319
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. This warning that came out today

320
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 2>talked about the polar vortex, said that it could plunge

321
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>as far south as Florida, and starting tomorrow, they said

322
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>millions of people are going to be hit by moderate

323
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.519
<v Speaker 2>to heavy snow from Kansas City to DC, likely just

324
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>south of that. After that, temperatures are expected to be

325
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>of as much as twenty five degrees below normal, which

326
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>is already chilly in January, but below normal for that

327
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>cold spell.

328
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you have some free time this weekend? Because Apple

329
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>TV Plus is trying to get people to binge. It's

330
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 1>streaming TV and movies for free this weekend. They want

331
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to make a dent in their strategic popcorn reserve. Experts

332
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 1>are calling it a canny promotion. It's in eighth place

333
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>right now. Apple TV plus when you look at streamers

334
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and they want up at subscriber base. So the two

335
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>day offer this Saturday and Sunday is intended to give

336
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>yours a taste of what's behind that Apple paywall and

337
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 1>get them hooked.

338
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 4>Interesting.

339
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I already watched a bunch of stuff. We watched,

340
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>uh we finished Shrinking of course, oh yeah, yeah, and

341
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:22.759
<v Speaker 2>then wanted last night to watch it again. There was

342
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.400
<v Speaker 2>a moment where I was like, we could watch that

343
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 2>final episode again or the last episode, don't know if it's.

344
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 4>The final episode.

345
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Why did you want to rewatch it?

346
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Because we needed a palid cleanser for after what well

347
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.440
<v Speaker 2>actually everything to set up the Agency, which is on

348
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Paramount Plus.

349
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I thinking about getting into that. I just

350
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted My brother told me that I would like

351
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Lioness as well. He's like strong female lead and blah

352
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, and I'm just like, I'm just not a

353
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 1>spy person.

354
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.799
<v Speaker 2>The Agency is much more spy e yeah, a lot

355
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.759
<v Speaker 2>less action, but I've heard it's fantastic. It's very well done.

356
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Michael Fassbender is really great as the main character. So

357
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>we were talking earlier also about the security protocols in

358
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.880
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans that the ballards and other safety things that

359
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 2>were to be placed along Bourbon Street and Canal Street

360
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>ahead of not only the Sugar Bowl, but the Super

361
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Bowl and Marti Graus, et cetera. That they're in the

362
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>process of doing it, and they had temporary ballards and

363
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>temporary barricades up early as.

364
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 4>A psychodrope on the sidewalk.

365
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't think the concrete barriers would have stopped them.

366
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>No, That's the thing is, the sidewalks would also have

367
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>been covered by ballards.

368
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Can't.

369
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 2>You can't get past those things that are set up.

370
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean they have big ones that are like hydraulic

371
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>gates that come up. You see those in front of

372
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>military installations. They have those in some of the areas.

373
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>They were also using in some cases temporary ballards that

374
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>are designed to when you hit them with a car,

375
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>basically dig into the sidewalk.

376
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Next time I was there on Bourbon Street a couple

377
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, they had those white cement blockages that

378
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 1>you see in front of courthouses or what have you.

379
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, krail, krail is the metal one. That's the term

380
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 4>for it. Anyway, I know what you're talking about.

381
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Yah, The white yeah, in construction sites.

382
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, So new California laws going into effect. Some

383
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 1>of them are well, here we go. Cannabis cafes are

384
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>addressed in the new laws. Local jurisdictions, they say, could

385
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 1>give the green light to permit certain cannabis retailers to

386
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>prepare and sell drinks and food that do not contain cannabis.

387
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.200
<v Speaker 3>So go for the weed, stay for the turkey wrap.

388
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 2>That also gives them the ability to host ticketed live

389
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>events on their premises. Premises Miners who make money by

390
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>producing online content should get some extra financial protection the

391
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Cougan Act. This expands the Cougan Act, which is named

392
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>after one of the world.

393
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:02.240
<v Speaker 4>Famous child actors.

394
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Longtime law requires parents open a trust and set aside

395
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 2>at least fifteen percent of their child actor's gross earnings.

396
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>The rules have been expanded to include these new kid influencers.

397
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Child influencers paid for online content like.

398
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 1>The kid that opens the toys in the boxes, That

399
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Kid's gotta be seventeen, still making all kinds of money

400
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 1>prem Several education bills signed into law this year, ranging

401
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>from rules to protect young people from being outed against

402
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.319
<v Speaker 1>their will to rules that require elementary schools to offer

403
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:39.039
<v Speaker 1>free menstruation products.

404
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:41.880
<v Speaker 4>I just think that's a funny.

405
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Term, menstruation product products. You would rather just say period stuff,

406
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.319
<v Speaker 1>period stuff.

407
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 2>You can't sell a tuning kit for an e bike.

408
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Usually a tuning kit you can modify the speed capability

409
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of an electric bike, so it's no longer to find

410
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 2>as an e bike those will be prohibited. Already has

411
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 2>speed guidelines for bikes. For example, a Class one bike

412
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 2>has a motor that kicks in when rider is pedaling

413
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 2>tops out of twenty miles an hour. Class three motor

414
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 2>is meant to stop at twenty eight. Those bikes can

415
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.279
<v Speaker 2>include speedometers, and they said modifying speed of e bikes

416
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>is already illegal and unsafe.

417
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to a friend who's got a couple

418
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.400
<v Speaker 1>of kids thirteen fifteen, and she's like, yeah, my kids

419
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>love the e bike we got, you know, go sixty

420
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>miles an hour. And I had to bite my freaking

421
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 1>tongue because I don't have kids. So I feel like

422
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 1>that means I sit it all of those conversations out right,

423
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.400
<v Speaker 1>But I wanted to say, what the hell are you doing.

424
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:42.079
<v Speaker 1>They don't even know the rules of the road. They

425
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't been a learner's permit. Hell, yet they don't know

426
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 1>about turns and all those things.

427
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 3>And I is that antiquated? Am I Am?

428
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I in the minority now of thinking that if you've

429
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>got something that goes sixty miles, that's a car and

430
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you're unprotected.

431
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would also say I would push back on

432
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the whole sixty mile an hour thing.

433
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 4>They go fast, sixties a little.

434
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Well whatever, I don't remember forty it was too fast too.

435
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 4>It's too fast.

436
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But here's the one that I think is strange. If

437
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>it's if you find a parking spot within twenty feet

438
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, you're going to have

439
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 2>to find a new spot. Starting this year, you can

440
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>be ticketed for parking within twenty feet of a crosswalk,

441
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>even if there is no no parking sign posted.

442
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 3>Now, riddle me that is What is the point behind.

443
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 4>That part of a two year legislation. I don't know.

444
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>There's no reasoning. In this article from the Daily News,

445
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a no parking.

446
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Zone decreases to fifteen feet if there is a curb

447
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 2>extension present, Who's going to pay them? Do they then

448
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.519
<v Speaker 2>have to mark those spots as red?

449
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:56.559
<v Speaker 4>Do they do?

450
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 2>These jurisdiction now have jurisdictions, I should say have the

451
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>requirement to go and mark all of these as no

452
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 2>parking spots, even though you don't have to have a

453
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>sign present. It's something to do with pedestrian safety, something

454
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 2>to do with somebody being able to see somebody getting

455
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>into the crosswalk without having their view obstructed by a

456
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 2>car that's in the parking spot.

457
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 4>But that's that.

458
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like that's going to eventually be taken

459
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>to court by somebody who gets.

460
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Ticketed for that.

461
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Here are the playoff implications for the final week of

462
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the regular season in the NFL. The Ravens can clinch

463
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the AFC North tomorrow with a win over the Browns or.

464
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 3>A loss by the Steelers.

465
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Steelers can win the division with a Ravens a loss

466
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and win over the Bengals. Bengals need a win to

467
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>stay alive for a wild card spot. Well, they also

468
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 1>need the Dolphins and the Broncos to lose. Denver needs

469
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.839
<v Speaker 1>a win. They will clinch a playoff spot with a

470
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 1>win over the Chiefs, who are resting everybody and Denver

471
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 1>plays at home. The Dolphins need to win over the

472
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Jets and a Broncos loss, and if your head hurts

473
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 1>sodas mine. You ever heard of slab city? Listen, we

474
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 1>like the libertarian movement. The Last Free place in America

475
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>sounds kind of nice.

476
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a piece of land out in the our

477
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.119
<v Speaker 2>section of the Sonoran Desert, ours being California's version of

478
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the Sonoran Desert, about forty five miles north of the border,

479
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>referred to by its residents as the last free place

480
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>in America. They said it's populated by drug addicts, eccentrics,

481
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 2>army veterans, and hippies. Or, as the Wizard puts it,

482
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 2>he's the guy who greets everybody. He's like the moose

483
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>out in front. He says, everyone is one hundred percent

484
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:46.400
<v Speaker 2>sertifiably insane, and I mean that from a clinical perspective.

485
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 3>He said.

486
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 1>This is what happens when you let mentally ill people

487
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 1>build their own playground in the desert.

488
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Fascinating.

489
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 2>They define it as an anarcho republic, a community of

490
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>freethinkers who want to operate under their own rules.

491
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 3>So this is just skid row and the desert.

492
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Sounds like it.

493
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 2>The buildings resembled discarded junk sculptures made up of old tires,

494
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>post apocalyptic vehicles, mannequin legs, and dollhouses that, of course

495
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 2>prompts conspiracy theories about Stalin's relationship to dolphins.

496
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 3>What I didn't know that was few.

497
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a conspiracy theory that I was blind to.

498
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Alongside these sculptures, people have no concept of private land ownership.

499
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 2>They generally tend to employ what they refer to as

500
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>an informal economy that's based on cash, water, and weed.

501
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.279
<v Speaker 2>A reporter for Spin magazine who went and checked this

502
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>out encountered a roving group of actor musicians called Jester Jizz,

503
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>one of whose songs revolves around.

504
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Seaman quality.

505
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

506
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Describing the group's on stage get up, Jonah Gurky said,

507
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.839
<v Speaker 2>everyone in the group wears clown paint and flowing robes.

508
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>They play ethereal music from a boombox and perform free

509
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 2>verse that ruminates on our cosmic origins, the chicken or

510
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>egg question, and the decline of semen quality since nineteen

511
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 2>eighty What.

512
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you think the semen quality at slab City is?

513
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's go a scale of one to ten. How about

514
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 1>an old gas go around? Shall we are you sure? Yeah?

515
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

516
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>A little semen quality survey on a Friday. Let's see, guys,

517
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>it is a town where everyone is certifiably insane. Drug addicts, eccentrics,

518
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.559
<v Speaker 1>army veterans, and hippies. Everybody is insane from a clinical perspective.

519
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Semen quality on a scale of one to ten, ten

520
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>being the strongest swimmers.

521
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.759
<v Speaker 3>Jacob, Oh, I'm going to yeah.

522
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Debra, you want to weigh in on the semen quality.

523
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I'm going to say one.

524
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 1>One, Yeah, well one, I'll go with a two point three.

525
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Give these people a little shout out.

526
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to surprise you here. I'm going to say

527
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>a five. Wow, Well, because I think I think these people.

528
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 2>We spent a lot of time talking about ultra processed foods,

529
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and that may be one of the reasons why we

530
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>have such low quality.

531
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.079
<v Speaker 1>You think these people are making their own foods and things?

532
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Oh they are, okay, all right.

533
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think any of them got COVID shots. I

534
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>don't think any of them have any sort of I

535
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think they have like n like. Yeah, they're wearing

536
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 2>natural fibers. Yes, that's one way to put it. The

537
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>one thing that's not making it higher is that they

538
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 2>live in the desert.

539
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:41.839
<v Speaker 4>But a lot of.

540
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Free balling, a lot of that probably will get you

541
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.039
<v Speaker 1>to the five.

542
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's I'll get you there possible.

543
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, this whole thing, by the way of this used

544
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to be a military base. Slab City used to be

545
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Camp Dunlop, and it was a training ground for field

546
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and anti aircraft artillery units. And it had to be

547
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 2>in an area that was accessible by planes that were

548
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 2>taken off from carriers near San Diego.

549
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:11.839
<v Speaker 4>So you fly inland a little ways and this is

550
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 4>where you do it.

551
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 2>The government announced that the base was going to be

552
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 2>named after Marine Corps Brigadory General Robert Dunlop after construction

553
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 2>was completed. It was commissioned in nineteen forty two, fully

554
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>functioning buildings, water roads, sewage collection. The base was used

555
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:29.279
<v Speaker 2>for three years during the war. By forty nine, basically

556
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 2>they weren't doing anything out there, but the crew skeleton

557
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 2>crew was out there until about nineteen fifty six when

558
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 2>all of the buildings were taken down. They still had

559
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the slabs the foundations that these buildings were built on.

560
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>That's why they now call it Slab City.

561
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>This may play into the Dolphins because Russia's military is

562
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>using specially trained dolphins to defend a critical naval base

563
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>off Crimea. In fact, one of the most well known

564
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>military dolphin training programs was run by the US name.

565
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.759
<v Speaker 1>These dolphins detect and mark underwater mines, They locate sunk

566
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 1>in ships. They assist divers in underwater search and rescue missions.

567
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins have been used for decades by the military in

568
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>various places on the globe.

569
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 4>Dollin relationship to dolphins.

570
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 1>He may have been one of the first too identified

571
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 1>the use of dolphins in warfare.

572
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:28.279
<v Speaker 2>The federal government eventually conveyed the land of the state

573
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of California back in sixty one because Department of Defense

574
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:34.119
<v Speaker 2>realized they didn't really need it very much more, didn't

575
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>have any restrictions, any recapture clauses or restoration provisions, and

576
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>all of the former buildings had been taken off like

577
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 2>I said, so the slabs were not supposed to be removed.

578
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Legislation did require that any revenue generated from the property

579
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>would go to cal Stars, the state teacher's retirement system.

580
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:54.000
<v Speaker 4>There was an.

581
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Article in Trailer Life and RV magazine back in the

582
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 2>mid eighties that told people, Hey, there's this funny, weird

583
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.160
<v Speaker 2>former military base out in the desert.

584
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 4>You could go if you don't.

585
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Want to go to Palm Springs, or if you want

586
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.319
<v Speaker 2>to go to Palm Springs and make a rite, you

587
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 2>could live out in the desert. And they said in

588
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.599
<v Speaker 2>about nineteen eighty eight, they said there were about two

589
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 2>thousand trailers and RVs that were parked out there in

590
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 2>this urgeting community.

591
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.559
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds nice, but that then that echo chamber

592
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 1>was born, the echo chamber of crazy, but with no walls.

593
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>An article in Smithsonian back in twenty eighteen said that

594
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 2>this was a squatter's paradise where the locals said they

595
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:39.519
<v Speaker 2>considered it to be one of the last free places.

596
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And this article said, again this was from Smithsonian, there

597
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.720
<v Speaker 2>are clearly people there who don't want to be found.

598
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 2>So there's something about disappearing.

599
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 3>That's the desert for it.

600
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 4>Desert offers that kind of an opportunity.

601
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.079
<v Speaker 1>A lot of law enforcement people have bunkers out in

602
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>the desert just all so hot.

603
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.480

604
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:03.279
