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.
Speaker 2: Shannon's out today, back tomorrow.
Speaker 3: She's getting the final work done, final dental, whatever something's
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 2: Rain obviously is going to be our big issue today.
Speaker 3: Evacuation warnings have been put up through most areas. Evacuation
Speaker 3: orders have been issued for the Sierra Madre area because
Speaker 3: of the expectation that we are going to see mud
Speaker 3: slides into brief flows as a result as these rains
Speaker 3: get stronger. Pacific Palisades, for example, is limited to residents
Speaker 3: only until two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Any contractor with a
Speaker 3: pass still not allowed entry. Evacuation warnings issued for the
Speaker 3: Getty Villa area, portions of the Highlands Neighborhood, the northern
Speaker 3: section of ben Venette Bien Veneda Avenue, northern section of
Speaker 3: Temiskull Canyon Road, edge of Marinette Road, Oracle Place, the
Speaker 3: area around will Rogers State Park, including the Villawoods Drive
Speaker 3: and Villa Grove Drive. Brentwood has some evacuation warnings. Malibu
Speaker 3: has some evacuation warnings, all of them because of the
Speaker 3: burn areas that exist now because of the Palisades Fire
Speaker 3: and other fires in those areas in the last couple
Speaker 3: of years. This is one of the strongest storms that
Speaker 3: we have that we will see this winter, and potentially
Speaker 3: one of the strongest that we've seen in a couple
Speaker 3: of years. There are also some evacuation warnings in Orange
Speaker 3: County the Tribuco Hot Springs, Bell Long Canyon, Majesca Canyon
Speaker 3: areas because of the risk of Debrifo debris flows near
Speaker 3: the Airport fire burn scar. Those evacuation warnings started this
Speaker 3: morning and will stay in effect basically until they determine
Speaker 3: its safe. San Bernardino around Mount Baldy Village and Rightwood
Speaker 3: because of potential mudslides, and then Santa Barbara County as well,
Speaker 3: because of the Lake fire that burned through the mountains
Speaker 3: north of Los Alevos the county. It did issue an
Speaker 3: evacuation order for some areas in Santa Barbara County because
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 2: This is this is one of.
Speaker 3: Those dynamic things where we really won't know how bad
Speaker 3: it gets until it gets here, and the strongest part
Speaker 3: of this rainstorm isn't expected to hit La County until
Speaker 3: much later this afternoon, probably four or five hours from now,
Speaker 3: right about four o'clock is what they have said when
Speaker 3: they expect this window, about a five hour window of
Speaker 3: the strongest rain to be coming. So as it gets
Speaker 3: dark here in La County, that's when we're going to
Speaker 3: see some of the strongest rains. So that's all. That's
Speaker 3: all the local stuff. It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 1: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
Speaker 4: And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipop
Speaker 4: here we got The real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 4: are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits.
Speaker 5: So what.
Speaker 4: I'm not going anywhere, So that now you train the squat,
Speaker 4: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 4: what has been.
Speaker 2: You know, Americans have always been going at president, but
Speaker 2: they're not stupid.
Speaker 3: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Have the people voted for you were not swamp watch?
Speaker 2: They're all counter knowing well.
Speaker 3: The reciprocal tariffs have apparently been signed into effects. According
Speaker 3: to the latest reports out of the White House, the
Speaker 3: President has signed these into effect and is expected to
Speaker 3: make some sort of an announcement over the course of
Speaker 3: the next few minutes. It was supposed to happen about
Speaker 3: an hour ago, but it hasn't. When the President starts speaking,
Speaker 3: we'll bring it to you. His cabinet's getting filled out.
Speaker 2: On this vote.
Speaker 5: The a's are fifty two, the naser forty eight. The
Speaker 5: confirmation is confirmed.
Speaker 3: Senator Senator sorry, Robert F. Kennedy Junior was confirmed by
Speaker 3: senators today. He was going to now oversee Health and
Speaker 3: Human Services. The department has a one point seven trillion
Speaker 3: dollar budget, eighty thousand employees. I mean, at least it
Speaker 3: does now until Elon Musk gets a hold of it.
Speaker 3: Secretary of Agriculture was also confirmed today, Brooke Rollins on
Speaker 3: account of seventy two to twenty eight. One of the
Speaker 3: more lopsided wins for the Trump cabinet. I think the
Speaker 3: most lopsided would have been Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
Speaker 2: Didn't have anybody vote against him.
Speaker 3: The Senate Judiciary Committee has also voted along party lines
Speaker 3: to advance the nomination of Cash Bettel for FBI director.
Speaker 3: Republicans pushed past some of the Democratic concerns that Bateel
Speaker 3: was simply going to be a loyalist Trump and target
Speaker 3: some of the perceived adversaries. Linda McMahon, who has been
Speaker 3: chosen to be the Education Secretary, told her confirmation hearing
Speaker 3: senators that she is prepared to enact the education vision
Speaker 3: of President Trump if she's confirmed, but she did not,
Speaker 3: at least in the opening statement, she did not mention
Speaker 3: the most controversial element of what his agenda is, which
Speaker 3: is that she's supposed to work herself out of a job.
Speaker 3: She is supposed to eventually lead to eliminate the Department
Speaker 3: of Education. So again, Linda McMahon, at least starting her
Speaker 3: confirmation hearing today, one of the issues that's been going
Speaker 3: on with these at least the I don't know, could
Speaker 3: I say the tumultuous three Tulsey Gabbard as Director of
Speaker 3: National Intelligence, RFK Junior as Secretary of Health and Human Services,
Speaker 3: and Cash Bettel as FBI Director. One of the common
Speaker 3: no votes for all of those has been Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell, Senator from Kentucky, been there since Jesus walked
Speaker 3: the earth, has is now eighty two years old, and
Speaker 3: he has decided that on his way out. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's old, he's going to retire. He's already announced that
Speaker 3: he stepped back from party leadership in the Senate Chamber
Speaker 3: and turned it over to John Thune so he could
Speaker 3: be the majority leader. He has basically said, I am
Speaker 3: unshackled by the burden of leadership. I don't have to
Speaker 3: pass any bills. I don't have to be the referee.
Speaker 3: I can spend my time pulling people back to what
Speaker 3: he thinks. What Mitch McConnell thinks is the Republican Party.
Speaker 3: Leon Caldwell actually wrote an article about Mitch McConnell titled
Speaker 3: I'm that Mitch, and describes how the double Birds are
Speaker 3: helping Mitch McConnell sort of ride off into the sunset
Speaker 3: double birds towards the White House and specifically Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: The specific wording I thought was pretty clever. She talked about. Now,
Speaker 3: this was before Mitch McConnell voted against Tulsea Gabbard as
Speaker 3: DNI and against RFK Junior as a Secretary of HHS,
Speaker 3: and he did both. He voted no on both of those,
Speaker 3: and it's likely that he'll vote no on Cash Bettel
Speaker 3: coming up.
Speaker 2: But she wrote this enigma exemplify. Sorry.
Speaker 3: This enigma amplifies growing questions about how McConnell plans to
Speaker 3: spend his hard earn out of FS to give Twilight
Speaker 3: Era once the relentless part is in willing to vote
Speaker 3: his platform to ensuring that the United States doesn't decimate
Speaker 3: Western alliances and retreat from the world, pitting himself against
Speaker 3: his president and a growing number of colleagues in his conference,
Speaker 3: and could it work. Interesting thing about the RFK confirmation
Speaker 3: now that we know is RFK said at one point
Speaker 3: that the polio vaccine likely killed more people than it saved.
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell takes that personally because Mitch McConnell is a
Speaker 3: polio survivor, and he said that that perspective is dangerous.
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell actually still suffers from the impact of polio.
Speaker 3: It's affected the way he walks, it's affected his balance.
Speaker 3: Let me give you an impression, just an example of that.
Speaker 3: Just this week, this is not old news. This week
Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell fell walking down the steps off the Senate
Speaker 3: floor and then literally minutes later he fell again and
Speaker 3: his plate of Hamburger, hot dog, French fries and ketchup
Speaker 3: fell and hit him on the head on his way down.
Speaker 3: There are doctors in the Senate. John Barrasso's one of them.
Speaker 3: He walked over. Mitch McConnell, refused any medical attention. He
Speaker 3: got up, he walked to his table, He sat down
Speaker 3: and acted as if nothing had happened. He's been pushed
Speaker 3: around in his wheelchair. He has been helped literally carried
Speaker 3: from his wheelchair to his car at times. He is
Speaker 3: not going to resign, he says, but he is also
Speaker 3: not going to run for reelection. And like I said,
Speaker 3: flipping the double birds on his way out a wellness segment.
Speaker 3: When we come back, you consider yourself a serious runner. Maybe,
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a pretty small audience. But if you
Speaker 3: like to run, you like to exercise. Which is better
Speaker 3: running faster or running longer?
Speaker 2: That's next. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Big stories that were following the rain. Biggest storm coming
Speaker 3: in in probably at least year later this afternoon is
Speaker 3: when it's going to get even stronger. A car attack
Speaker 3: in Munich has injured at least twenty eight people, including kids.
Speaker 3: German anti terrorism officials said that an asylum seeker from
Speaker 3: Afghanistan is the one who was blamed for it. He's
Speaker 3: been arrested. This attack took place just a few blocks
Speaker 3: away from the site of the Munich Security Conference, which
Speaker 3: is going to start tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Jadie Vance is there.
Speaker 3: Ukrainian President Vledimer z Alensky, Secretary of State Marko Rubio,
Speaker 3: several NATO allies are insisting that Ukraine and Europe must
Speaker 3: not be cut out of any peace negotiations that take place.
Speaker 3: Trump signaled that he's going to hold talk soon with
Speaker 3: President Putin. The uk Defense secretary said the Ukraine's voice
Speaker 3: must be heard at the heart of any talks. Estonians
Speaker 3: Defense minister said that Europe has driven sanctions against Russia
Speaker 3: and will have to foot the bill for reconstruction. Is

Speaker 3: But in the meantime, it's time for us to check
Speaker 3: in on your wellness.
Speaker 2: I feel terrible. He spends most of his day at
Speaker 2: the office.
Speaker 5: City tendation include a variety of activities.
Speaker 2: I'm preferably some exercise late in the afternoon. I never
Speaker 2: exercised a day of my life. You just got to
Speaker 2: sit here and wait for God.
Speaker 4: Every morning I smoke a cigarette, and for lunch, I
Speaker 4: eat a bacon sandwich, and I usually drink my dinner.
Speaker 1: It's time for Gary and Shannon's periodic Guide for Wellness
Speaker 1: and Personal and pro for your health.
Speaker 3: Listen, none of us moves around enough, probably, but we
Speaker 3: like the idea of it. If you consider yourself a
Speaker 3: pretty serious runner, you got one of two camps right.
Speaker 3: You're either a long distance runner, I think four or
Speaker 3: five miles at a clip and you keep it nice
Speaker 3: and easy. You're talking ten twelve minute miles, I mean
Speaker 3: twelve minutes almost walking. But listen, who's to judge. Or
Speaker 3: you're the speed person. You like to do sprints, or
Speaker 3: you like to do a mile, maybe a mile and
Speaker 3: a half, but you're going for time.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 3: You could be a total running new bee and have
Speaker 3: no idea which one is going to be better besides training,
Speaker 3: The simple answer is do both. You need both for
Speaker 3: a well rounded sort of exercise regimen. Running faster has benefits.
Speaker 3: Running longer has benefits like for example, faster runners more
Speaker 3: fat and carbs, they use more muscle fibers, they burn
Speaker 3: calories efficient more efficiently. But if fast running does require
Speaker 3: more recovery time and probably not suitable for most people
Speaker 3: every single day, the benefit for the distance runners you
Speaker 3: have improved endurance, you have a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease,
Speaker 3: and since you don't need necessarily a break for recovery,
Speaker 3: you could probably distance run every single day that you're there. So,
Speaker 3: but is there a difference? Is there a definitive answer
Speaker 3: as to which one is better? Running only long distance
Speaker 3: and easy is probably not the greatest option. Because it
Speaker 3: doesn't burn the carbs the way you think you're doing it.
Speaker 3: When you go slower, your energy demands are lower. Your
Speaker 3: body's going to rely predominantly on fat to drive that exercise.
Speaker 3: We don't really use carbs for the easy runs because
Speaker 3: we don't need the energy that quickly. You use carbs
Speaker 3: when you go at the harder intensities. Getting energy from
Speaker 3: carbohydrates a quicker process. So if you're going to be
Speaker 3: more intense, the energy demands are going to spike up
Speaker 3: a little bit and your body's going to start using
Speaker 3: fat and carbs.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: A lot of this guidance comes from Danny Mackie. He
Speaker 3: is a track club coach with Brooks master's degree in
Speaker 3: exercise physiology and biomechanics. Going at an easy pace uses
Speaker 3: fewer muscle fibers as well, and that engages less of
Speaker 3: your nervous system. It's about sixty percent of your nervous
Speaker 3: system versus eighty percent during those higher intensity training methods.
Speaker 3: Plus pushing yourself to go faster does require acceleration. That
Speaker 3: can put a lot of stress on your muscles, the
Speaker 3: good kind, the good kind of stress on your muscles,
Speaker 3: and that encourages your body to adapt. It encourages your
Speaker 3: body to make improvements incrementally, but still it's obviously improvement.
Speaker 3: And since it's more efficient, you're going to burn more
Speaker 3: calories per mile when you're going faster, even if it
Speaker 3: means you're running for a shorter amount of time. That
Speaker 3: can lead to weight loss. But burning calories and weight
Speaker 3: loss not always the most important factors in which workout
Speaker 3: you choose, so sticking to the short, explosive runs isn't
Speaker 3: the best idea either, because listen, if you're running five
Speaker 3: or six days a week, you need long, slow runs
Speaker 3: to let the body recover. You've got to have downtime
Speaker 3: in all of that. Our body is not built with switches.
Speaker 3: It's not on or off. If you're going hard, you're
Speaker 3: using everything, but the consequence is that you have to
Speaker 3: recover from that or you're going to get hurt. Muscular endurance,
Speaker 3: the ability for the body to work for an extended
Speaker 3: amount of time is important. And when you're doing that
Speaker 3: work for a long period of time running, for example,
Speaker 3: you're training your body to turn the oxygen into the
Speaker 3: energy more efficiently. But during the sustained run, you're going
Speaker 3: to be building aerobic endurance, and the key benefit of
Speaker 3: improving muscular endurance is that fatigue won't set in as
Speaker 3: fast as it would and you'll be able to withstand
Speaker 3: more energy. Y sorry, you'll be able to withstand more
Speaker 3: when you use less energy, so you'll be able to
Speaker 3: go longer without working up a sweat. The best option
Speaker 3: you want a daily dose. You want to do this
Speaker 3: every single day. Running longer is probably fine if you've
Speaker 3: got plenty of rest days that you can build in,
Speaker 3: run faster, and just the Perhaps the best option is
Speaker 3: a combination of the both of them. Run quick enough,
Speaker 3: fast enough to get that muscular endurance, and then take
Speaker 3: a couple of slow days where you're doing the longer,
Speaker 3: slower runs and building your cardio through that tech talk.
Speaker 3: When we come back, Mark Saltzman's going to join us,
Speaker 3: how AI can help you plan the perfect last minute?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's twelve hours away Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2: Did you get your wife something special? Yes?
Speaker 1: You did? Yes?
Speaker 2: Wait, wait a minute, did you sounded surprised?
Speaker 6: Because Shannon, not your Shannon, but the other Shannon, you know,
Speaker 6: she pooh pooh, who's getting gifts on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 3: Well, it's not like a two thousand dollars tennis bracelet
Speaker 3: or something crazy like that. Oh okay, And in fact,
Speaker 3: we're old enough now that we've got what we need.
Speaker 3: It's now a matter of trying to find the right
Speaker 3: event or activity for us to do.
Speaker 2: That's going to be fun. Oh activity, don't give it away.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Just checking some of the radar images, and our heaviest
Speaker 3: rain is expected sometime later on this afternoon. I say,
Speaker 3: the biggest window for La County, specifically, the strongest rain
Speaker 3: is coming in sometime between say four o'clock and nine
Speaker 3: o'clock Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego County, it's going
Speaker 3: to be shift that just back a couple of hours,
Speaker 3: probably closer to say eight o'clock nine o'clock before the
Speaker 3: heaviest rains go into those areas. But for La County,
Speaker 3: they said, just as you're about ready to drive home
Speaker 3: from work tonight is when things are going to get
Speaker 3: pretty sticky. You ever wondered about the best time to
Speaker 3: take a nap, like the best time of day to
Speaker 3: take a nap. In the next segment, I'll tell you
Speaker 3: about that exactly a very specific time, and we're approaching it.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's time for tech talk.
Speaker 5: The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 1: This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 2: Well, you're fresh out of lock.
Speaker 3: If you are, I have not yet purchased something, or
Speaker 3: bought a thing, or written a poem or whatever.
Speaker 2: However people celebrate Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Mark Saltzman, our tech guru, is joining us to talk
Speaker 3: about how the world of technology may be able to
Speaker 3: help our love life.
Speaker 5: I'm your love guru today, not your tech guru.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to say that out loud,
Speaker 3: but that's fine.
Speaker 2: Mark. How's it going?
Speaker 6: Not bad things? I guess Shannon is off again today.
Speaker 6: Let me guess the dentist. Yes, of fact, it is
Speaker 6: sensing a theme here.
Speaker 3: She got a punch card. I think the next one
Speaker 3: is free, so good good.
Speaker 6: That'll help out at the when she opens up her
Speaker 6: credit card bills.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's Thursday, so we like to talk
Speaker 6: tech and I figured, with tomorrow being Valentine's Day, to
Speaker 6: change hats from.
Speaker 5: Tech guru to love guru or the two can be
Speaker 5: the same.
Speaker 6: I can wear both hats because yes, you can leverage
Speaker 6: AI to hop out or if you're having a Gallantines
Speaker 6: Date date tonight with your girlfriends, you know, instead of
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day, that's a becoming a bigger trend. I've got
Speaker 6: some ideas. Yeah, there's actually there was a great article.
Speaker 6: I just want to tip my hat both of them
Speaker 6: to cnet dot com. They published an article about some
Speaker 6: great ways that AI can help you plan a great
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day. So the easy sort of the low hanging
Speaker 6: fruit is that you can use these free AI image
Speaker 6: generation tools to print out a custom card. So you
Speaker 6: don't want to give it on flimsy paper. You want
Speaker 6: good stock. But you can create a beautiful royalty free
Speaker 6: image and the words and even ask the AI to
Speaker 6: help you with words. And you know, if the cards
Speaker 6: that you're looking at at your wherever, your CVS, your
Speaker 6: your local store are lame because all the good ones
Speaker 6: are taken, you can print out your own customized, personalized
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day card.
Speaker 5: So you can definitely take advantage of some of those tools.
Speaker 5: But if you are.
Speaker 6: Looking to have a good date night, there are a
Speaker 6: couple of dedicated AI platforms. One is called four Lovebirds
Speaker 6: dot Com. That's the number four where it's basically an
Speaker 6: AI date idea generator, so it doesn't have to be
Speaker 6: for for Valentine's Day, but you type in where you
Speaker 6: are and it'll give you some suggestions. So using La
Speaker 6: as an example, it gave me everything from a sunset
Speaker 6: picnic at Griffith Observatory and it gives you a description
Speaker 6: of what's going on there, a dinner at a rooftop restaurant,
Speaker 6: so you can have a nice panoramic view of the
Speaker 6: La skyline if the rain doesn't impede your view as
Speaker 6: it might tonight. Yeah, strolling along Santa monicap here of course,
Speaker 6: attend a live jazz performance. So you can even specify
Speaker 6: your budget with some of these, like like Chat, GPT
Speaker 6: or Google Gemini. You can say for under one hundred
Speaker 6: dollars or whatever, right and I'll give you some ideas.
Speaker 6: Another one, Gary is called the Dateidea dot Com. Same idea,
Speaker 6: but you don't have to say where you are. You
Speaker 6: can if you want. There are a couple of things
Speaker 6: you can click like third date or meal based or
Speaker 6: indoor date, which might be ideal for the rain, and
Speaker 6: then it basically gives you a bunch of ideas and
Speaker 6: links as well. So there are these free tools that
Speaker 6: you can leverage and get very specific. You can say,
Speaker 6: between this hour and this hour, I'd like to take
Speaker 6: my partner on a date or within this budget or
Speaker 6: in this area, and it'll it'll do a great job
Speaker 6: for you. So planning your Valentine's Day, printing out a
Speaker 6: custom personalized card, these are all great ways. And of course,
Speaker 6: as you've hinted that off the top, even having it
Speaker 6: write a poem for you, Feed it some information like
Speaker 6: where you met, how long you've been together, what you know,
Speaker 6: maybe your Valentine's dates, favorite hobbies are, and it'll print
Speaker 6: out probably a very cheesy poem, but it'll do it
Speaker 6: for you.
Speaker 2: All right. You're a tech guy.
Speaker 3: How would you react if you knew that missus Mark
Speaker 3: Saltzman used AI to write the card expressing her heartfelt
Speaker 3: love for the partner of her life.
Speaker 5: That's a good question.
Speaker 6: I don't think I'd be too offended because there's still
Speaker 6: effort needed to help you write it. I mean, unless
Speaker 6: you're gifted and you know how to write a go
Speaker 6: a good poem. I don't know, it could and if
Speaker 6: it's really cheesy, it could actually be charming. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the glass half full here to our
Speaker 6: listeners too, are thinking am I going to get in
Speaker 6: more trouble by using AI? Well you can even say
Speaker 6: to the AI, don't make it sound like AI, like,
Speaker 6: don't forget like I think we talked about this the
Speaker 6: other day. If you're asking for your AI to explain
Speaker 6: something to you, you can say, explain it to me
Speaker 6: like a a ten year old, or explain it to
Speaker 6: me that doesn't sound so much like AI, and it'll
Speaker 6: actually do a better job.
Speaker 5: So if you don't want to be.
Speaker 6: Honest with your significant other, then yes, you can try
Speaker 6: to pass it off as if it's yours or just
Speaker 6: omit the fact that you leverage AI. But hey, your
Speaker 6: your partner may have been doing the same to you
Speaker 6: and you didn't realize it. I mean, if you're getting
Speaker 6: a custom card that says your name and some other
Speaker 6: personalized information of personalized image, then obviously you use AI.
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 2: You know, why not just lean into it a little bit?
Speaker 5: Right there?
Speaker 2: You go, car like I'm a sixth grader.
Speaker 6: But if you use deep seek from China. Then now
Speaker 6: the CCP knows every you and.
Speaker 5: Your partner, so just be aware about that.
Speaker 3: Just another information dump that they've got there, go exactly
Speaker 3: like they need more.
Speaker 2: Well, enjoy your time your wife for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much to you, Thank you, you bet.
Speaker 3: Maybe Shannon will be back next week. Mark Saltzman follow
Speaker 3: Mark on X Marc Underscore Saltsman, we come back. There
Speaker 3: has been a dating in romance glot and we've talked
Speaker 3: about it many times, specifically with young men in the world.
Speaker 3: Are they struggling? Are we setting them up correctly to
Speaker 3: learn how to how to date?
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
Speaker 1: Am six forty.
Speaker 3: President Trump rolled out his plan to increase tariffs to
Speaker 3: match the tax rates that other countries charge on imports.
Speaker 3: This could trigger some sort of economic confrontation with allies
Speaker 3: and rivals alike. He was speaking from the Oval Office
Speaker 3: just a short time ago.
Speaker 4: Canada has been very bad to us andre but now
Speaker 4: Canada is going to have to start paying up. And
Speaker 4: Canada has been tough on the military because they don't
Speaker 4: have a very have a very low military cost. They
Speaker 4: think we're going to you know, protect them with our military,
Speaker 4: which is unfair. So Canada is going to be a
Speaker 4: very interesting situation because you know, we just don't need
Speaker 4: their product and yet they survive if the fact that
Speaker 4: we're you know, we do ninety five percent of what
Speaker 4: they do and Canada is just absolutely I say it,
Speaker 4: and sometimes people smile and sometimes they say, great idea,
Speaker 4: but Canada, their taxes would come down greatly, their security
Speaker 4: would go up greatly. Amazing things happened to Canada, and
Speaker 4: really Canada, and this particularly, why would we pay two
Speaker 4: hundred billion dollars a year in subsidies to Canada when
Speaker 4: they're not a state. You do that for a state,
Speaker 4: but you don't do that for somebody else's country. So
Speaker 4: I think Canada is going to be a very serious
Speaker 4: contender to be our fifty first state.
Speaker 1: With Canada, there was obviously a delay in implementing those tariffs.
Speaker 4: I spoke to Governor Trudeau on numerous occasions, and we'll
Speaker 4: see what happens.
Speaker 3: Not only is he saying that Canada should be the
Speaker 3: could be the fifty first state, he's now referring to
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Trudeau as Governor Trudeau. Okay, so as he's
Speaker 3: going on and talking about these new tariffs. He has
Speaker 3: said that these new tariffs would level the playing field
Speaker 3: between American manufacturers and foreign manufacturers. But under current law,
Speaker 3: these new tariffs that would come in would likely be
Speaker 3: paid by US by American consumers and businesses, either directly
Speaker 3: or in the form of higher prices wherever you're buying
Speaker 3: goods and services. Now, this could easily backfire on him.
Speaker 3: This is a bet. This is a bet that he
Speaker 3: did successfully. It appears against Mexico and against Canada already,
Speaker 3: and I mean that process is still playing out, but
Speaker 3: he was going to impose those tariffs, came to agreements
Speaker 3: at least to postpone those tariffs until they could work
Speaker 3: out a deal. This may be the similar negotiation tactic
Speaker 3: that he's got, although he's running into some very interesting
Speaker 3: potential downfalls. I mean, the politics of tariffs could easily backfire,
Speaker 3: like I said, because this could push inflation up. We
Speaker 3: already saw it three percent in January and it was
Speaker 3: higher than expected. It could stamp down tamp down growth.
Speaker 3: This could be very very interesting to see how this goes.
Speaker 3: Now in terms of when these would be put in place,
Speaker 3: they had suggested that they're going to do all their
Speaker 3: work by April first in terms of the negotiations against
Speaker 3: the research to figure out what tariffs need to be imposed,
Speaker 3: these reciprocal tariffs, and it would depend on each different country,
Speaker 3: so the tariff increases would be customized with the partial
Speaker 3: goal of starting new trade negotiations, but other nations could
Speaker 3: feel like they need to respond with their own tariff
Speaker 3: on ours. So there could have to be a way
Speaker 3: to reassure you and I and consumers businesses to counteract
Speaker 3: the uncertainty that would be caused by the terror I mean,
Speaker 3: this is this is him holding a hand grenade at
Speaker 3: the negotiation table, and he hasn't pulled the pin yet,
Speaker 3: but he's showing everybody that there is a hand grenade
Speaker 3: and this is the beginning of the negotiations to try
Speaker 3: to even like I said, to level the playing field
Speaker 3: I think was the term that he had said. So
Speaker 3: he said there could be some short term price increases
Speaker 3: on things, but that the outcome of it eventually would
Speaker 3: be that a more level playing field. Some Again, we'll
Speaker 3: keep an eye on that news conference. And again it
Speaker 3: was several minutes ago. They didn't actually do it live.
Speaker 3: They're just playing back some of the tape from the
Speaker 3: Oval Office. We've talked before about how young men have
Speaker 3: their heads and their asses when it comes to dating.
Speaker 3: Dating is a numbers game, and the numbers do not
Speaker 3: appear to be on our side.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: Sixty three percent of men under the age of thirty
Speaker 3: say they are single. Sixty three percent of men under
Speaker 3: the age of thirty say they're single. Compare that to
Speaker 3: thirty four percent of women in the same in that
Speaker 3: same age group who say they're single. Now, that doesn't
Speaker 3: make sense, but these single are more likely to be
Speaker 3: looking for love. Half of the single men in this
Speaker 3: Pew survey reported looking for committed relationship and or casual dates.
Speaker 3: Only about thirty five percent of single women are saying
Speaker 3: the same. On that, what are men afraid of? A
Speaker 3: new U gov poll said that fifty seven percent of
Speaker 3: women said that they have been on a terrible date.
Speaker 3: About forty four percent of men say the same. Women
Speaker 3: are no longer willing to accept ghosting, the non commitment,
Speaker 3: the harassment. Men are going to be forced to change
Speaker 3: their ways, are forced being shut out of the dating.
Speaker 2: Pool, and by and large, the men.
Speaker 3: They know what not to do, don't be toxic, don't
Speaker 3: be mean, don't be arrogant, don't be a predator, don't
Speaker 3: be a creep. But they say they're at a loss
Speaker 3: for what is acceptable when they're trying to date.
Speaker 2: How about this be yourself?
Speaker 3: They say, you could see a little bit of risk
Speaker 3: aversion among young men, partly because they're largely worried about
Speaker 3: the risks that they're going to come from putting yourself
Speaker 3: out there. There is very little rit Yes you might
Speaker 3: get your feelings hurt. Yes you might be embarrassed. But
Speaker 3: the more you allow that to drive whether or not
Speaker 3: you go after finding love, then you're the more likely
Speaker 3: you are to be screwed. I mean, and I mean
Speaker 3: that in the not that way. I mean you're going
Speaker 3: to lose out on the potential for love. According to
Speaker 3: recent American Perspective survey from the Survey Center on American Life,
Speaker 3: fifty two percent of single women said they would be
Speaker 3: less likely to date a Trump supporter. Thirty percent of
Speaker 3: thirty six percent of single men say they wouldn't date
Speaker 3: a Trump supporter.
Speaker 2: Men don't care as much.
Speaker 3: Sixty percent of single women feared that women would be
Speaker 3: worse off under a Trump administration. Only forty seven percent
Speaker 3: of single men do not allow who the president is
Speaker 3: to impact your dating life. That is completely wrong. You're
Speaker 3: doing it wrong. If that's the case, and then that's
Speaker 3: what you're doing. We have our trending stories and at
Speaker 3: twelve twenty, rebuilding after our fires. We can learn something
Speaker 3: from those other places who have had recent fires and rebuilt.
Speaker 3: What is it we can learn from the Tubs fire,
Speaker 3: from the Maui fires, maybe the campfire up in Paradise.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that coming up at twelve twenty. Gary
Speaker 3: and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been listening
Speaker 3: to the Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear
Speaker 3: us live on KFIAM six forty nine am to one
