WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.880 on the iHeartRadio app. Embracing Boredom. There was an article 4 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:16.440 in Vox all about embracing boredom, something we don't do anymore, and. 5 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:17.960 It's pretty good for us. 6 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.239 It turns out we can use boredom to our advantage, 7 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.600 and so we'll talk about that because sometimes you're on 8 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.679 your phone and you're scrolling and you know you're wasting time, 9 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.119 and it's so easy, and you realize that there is 10 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.840 a little benefit or a lot of a benefit to 11 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.560 just sitting in stillness, right. I mean, you don't have 12 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.759 to be a Buddhist monk and wear the robes and 13 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.359 shave your head and live in silence, but it is 14 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.560 nice not to be inundated with stimulation all the time. 15 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:48.439 It's good for you. 16 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.200 We've talked about it before, So a trick on how 17 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.520 to embrace boredom, whether you're standing in the checkout line 18 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.520 or getting the car washed or what have you. Coming 19 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.799 up later in the show, we're going to be talking 20 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.400 about compatibility. There are questions that therapists would ask, and 21 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.799 the love is blind pods to assess compatibility. 22 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:11.079 If you haven't seen. 23 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.359 Love is Blind, good for you. I, on the other hand, 24 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.000 I'm fully entrenched in Love is Blind. 25 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.599 I've watched all of the seasons. 26 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.079 It's awful television, highly addictive, garbage television. It does nothing 27 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.120 for your intellectual health. 28 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:28.480 But here we are. 29 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.040 Love is Blind is a show based on a group 30 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.120 of men and a group of women, usually late twenties, 31 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.920 early thirties, and they meet each other in these pods. 32 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.680 They don't see each other. They have these long conversations. 33 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.280 They are armed with questions for each other to get 34 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:48.159 to know each other, and at the end they settle 35 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.879 on one person. Usually they they're into two or three people, 36 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.359 and then they whittle it down to one person, and 37 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.239 then they propose to them at the end, And the 38 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.599 first time that they see each other is after proposal 39 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.359 has already been done, or it's at the time when 40 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.959 they first see each other, as when they propose, and 41 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.719 nobody pulls out of it, because then you look like 42 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.639 an a hole, because then it's just that you don't 43 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.599 like the way he looks or she looks, or what 44 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.960 have you. But anyway, then they follow them to a 45 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.479 resort where they live together for the first time, and 46 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.960 then they follow them home where they live together the 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.599 first time in real life. But there are questions that 48 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.599 arise in the pods of is this somebody who I 49 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960 could live with forever? And what kind of questions would 50 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.439 you think to ask if your son or daughter brought 51 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.599 home someone and they were serious, what question would you 52 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.000 say that they would have to get asked before they 53 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.639 took the next step. Let us know using the talkback 54 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.759 feature on the iHeartRadio app, because we will get to 55 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.840 that coming up later this hour. Well, Trump's speech to 56 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.560 Congress has all of the ingredients for a show. In fact, 57 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.800 that is what he is telling us. That is going 58 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.639 to be must see TV. The Trump says on the 59 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.879 social the night will be big. He will tell it 60 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.719 like it is. And like I said earlier, I mean, 61 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.560 this isn't emboldened Trump. You're coming off the news that 62 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.120 President Zelenski and Ukraine now regrets that Oval Office meeting 63 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.240 with Trump. That's what he said, It did not go 64 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.280 the way it was supposed to be. That he is ready, 65 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.280 that Ukraine is ready to work fast end the war. 66 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.919 Trump's going to see this as a major win and 67 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.479 tonight will be his victory. 68 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.199 Lap, Make no mistake about it. 69 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.639 He is going to be emboldened and it's going to 70 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.560 be interesting to what he says when it comes to 71 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.479 the tariffs. Right when you look at China and Mexico 72 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.879 and Canada and what we bring in. 73 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.080 The Target CEO already. 74 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.360 Saying that you're going to see fruits and vegetable prices 75 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.039 go up because Target relies heavily on Mexico during the winter. 76 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.639 So what kinds of things will we see and how quickly? 77 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.319 And just don't put any credence into those things. When 78 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.000 it comes to what a trade war would do to inflation? 79 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.199 What's the endgame here? Is it just about the fentanyl? 80 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.439 Will he address that? Those are all things that I'm 81 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.079 interested to hear, and he will be speaking at six 82 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.759 pm our time. You would call it a state of 83 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.000 the Union. I mean, it's got all of the bells 84 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.720 and the whistles. It's got the Chambers of Congress, it's 85 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.680 got the Supreme Court Justices, you've got the secret person 86 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.360 in the secret room. If the whole place is blown up, 87 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.000 all of that, it's just not called state of the 88 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.800 Union because of where it lands. But this is the 89 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.639 first time that he's going to be addressing Congress since 90 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.920 he took office, So it may be it may be 91 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.240 at the least contentious. There is going to be some protesting. 92 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.800 When it comes to Democrats, there is going to be 93 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.279 some talking back. It is going to be a show, 94 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.879 make no mistake about it. When it comes to what's 95 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.920 going on locally at LA City Hall. Right now, I 96 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.639 am watching people from the LA Fire Department, whether it's 97 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.160 fire department union members or what have you, kind of 98 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.480 make their way into city Hall chambers. This is the 99 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.319 first time Kristin Crowley has appeared in public since she 100 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.519 was fired two weeks ago by Karen Bass, the mayor. 101 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.879 This is the fight over who did what or who 102 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.079 didn't do what when it came to the fires. Michael 103 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.319 Monks from KFI News is in the chambers right now. 104 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.279 She's expected Kristin Crowley to make an appeal to the 105 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.279 council to save her job or to get her job 106 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.199 back as fire chief. And like I said, you could 107 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.360 see the slew of people in LA Fire Department T 108 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.079 shirts make their way inside. Michael Monks from KFI News 109 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.680 is inside. He has been texting me. He says it 110 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.800 is capacity crowd, hot is ticket in town, all the 111 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.959 media is there, a lot of Union supporters there as well, 112 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.199 but bass Is support are there as well. Public comment 113 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.399 until eleven forty five, he says, and then maybe showtime. 114 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.399 So right now, probably you're going to get a lot 115 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.560 of comments on both sides from people with the fire 116 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.759 department and people with the Bass camp, and then the 117 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.240 council will ask questions or you'll hear from Kristin Crowley 118 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.600 at eleven forty five, possibly both. Again, I'm not sure 119 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.759 what the council can do in terms of giving her 120 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.720 her job back. Karen Bass is not there, as Michael 121 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.399 Monks reported to us early, She's been going about her 122 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.759 day tweeting about the oscars and things like that kind 123 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.360 of treating this is rather insignificant. 124 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.680 As she moves forward, We're past that, We're. 125 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.560 Moving on the way that she explained it was that 126 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.079 Kristin Crowley was shown the door at the fire department 127 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.319 because it was under Kristin Crowley's watch that a thousand 128 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.680 firefighters were not at their post when the fire broke out, 129 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.199 that they were in fact sent home. The fact that 130 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.680 Kristin Crowley did not fill out the after action. 131 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.240 Report post fires. This is all clerical and silly. 132 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.560 The reason behind this is that Kristin Crowley came out 133 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.959 and laid Karen Bass squarely under the bus, saying that 134 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.120 City Hall and Karen Bass cut the fire department and 135 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.720 that it showed when those fires made their ways through 136 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.120 the Palisades and Alta Dina. All right, Coming up next, 137 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.879 we will go live to get a reaction on Capitol 138 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:31.720 Hill about the address, what lawmakers are expecting, and what 139 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.839 those fireworks will be when we hear from the President 140 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.720 tonight at six. Do you know the story about Ruby Frankie. 141 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:47.680 This was the mom of six kids who pretty much 142 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.319 filmed her kids growing up and put it on YouTube. 143 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.040 There's this whole world that I was ignorant to families 144 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.199 that document their kids' lives and they share it and 145 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.639 just some of the intimate stuff as well about their 146 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.839 kids' lives, things that you would never think to share 147 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.519 maybe with your best friend or family or something like 148 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.600 that about your kids, but putting it out there on 149 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.079 YouTube for everyone to see. It is a whole industry, 150 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.839 and these people are making thousands of dollars, tens of 151 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.800 thousands of dollars a month by seemingly exploiting their kids 152 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.360 for hits and likes and comments and fame, and she 153 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.519 is kind of the poster child for how it can 154 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.000 all go wrong. There is a new documentary it's called 155 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.639 The Devil in the Family. I fell into it yesterday 156 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.679 on Hulu, and I think my jaw was open for 157 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.960 about eighty percent of the time I was watching this. 158 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.399 It's just three parts, and the husband features prominently in 159 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.080 the documentary, and the whole time, I'm just wondering, what's wrong. 160 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:48.360 With this guy? 161 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.039 He seems like such a good guy, normal smart. How 162 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.120 would you just go along for this crazy train ride 163 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.679 for as long as that he did. Anyway, we'll get 164 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.240 into it in the whole industry coming up in true 165 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.720 Crime Tuesday Crime, because yeah, this is a mom that 166 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.399 is serving time because of what she did to her 167 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:10.080 kids towards the end of seeking fame with her YouTube channel. 168 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.120 America's two biggest lottery games are on the up and up. 169 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.320 There was no grand prize winner in the Powerball drawing yesterday. 170 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.639 That jackpot has been pushed up to two hundred and 171 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:29.080 ninety five million dollars ahead of the next drawing on tomorrow. 172 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.480 I believe ahead of that, there's another chance to get 173 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.960 rich with mega millions. Tonight's drawing stands at two hundred 174 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.480 and fifteen million dollars with a cash option just shy 175 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.080 of one hundred and one million bucks. 176 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.360 Here's something fun to look forward to. 177 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.240 Possibly, John Stewart is inviting Elon Muks to be a 178 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:51.799 guest on The Daily Show. Stuart criticized Musk's doze last week, 179 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.600 and Elon posted on X he'd go on the show 180 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:59.679 if the interview aired unedited, and then on the show yesterday, 181 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.279 John and Stuart says that they would be delighted to 182 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.320 have him. It can be fifteen minutes, an hour, two hours, whatever, 183 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.879 so that would be fun to watch that conversation between 184 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.399 the two. We are in the midst of swamp watch 185 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.480 and a lot to do. We knew that when Trump 186 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.840 swept back into office there would be no boring swamp watch, 187 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.919 and there hasn't been, and my goodness. Usually a joint 188 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.399 addressed to Congress by a president is a snooze event. 189 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.799 It is something that we often think, oh, we should 190 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.200 probably listen to this, we should probably hear it, but 191 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.799 you don't really want to. It's not going to be 192 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:46.320 entertaining with President Biden. It got uncomfortable, didn't it. It 193 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.559 gets boring, It can get preachy at times, depending who 194 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:56.320 the president is. It's the same kind of verbiage about 195 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.360 moving America forward, and it's a pat on the back, 196 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.279 and it's here's what I want to do. All these 197 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.399 untenable goals. It's just the same, of the same and 198 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.679 more of the same. But tonight, tonight may be some fireworks. 199 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.600 President Trump calling it must see TV, saying it's going 200 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.440 to be a big night. We've got the backdrop, a 201 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:21.679 backdrop of a trade war. We've got Ukrainian President Zelenski 202 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.720 coming out and saying he regrets what happened in the 203 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.000 Oval Office, which is sure to be a win in 204 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.320 Trump's mind. Kelly Meyer joins US Now Washington correspondent in 205 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.039 DC for our News Nation. Kelly is the one who 206 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.759 asks all the tough questions running around Capitol Hill all 207 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.320 day long. And Kelly, what is the vibe today on 208 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.360 Capitol Hill? Yeah? 209 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.759 And right now we're actually over at the White House 210 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.639 right now as President Trump is getting ready for his 211 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.960 speech tonight, and this will be his big address to Congress, 212 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.440 of his first address to Congress, of his second term. 213 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.080 A White House special to tell us that it's expected 214 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.399 to go about an hour, but they do tell us 215 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.559 as well that he's going to address some of the accomplishments, 216 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.039 they say, of his first month in office, talking Bucky economy, 217 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.360 the border, and also foreign policy. So we can expect 218 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.080 to hear more on the plan for peace as he's 219 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.039 called it in Ukraine, as has been back and forth 220 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.320 between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zlinsky, to say the 221 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.480 least after that Oval Office blow up last Friday. We'll 222 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.879 also be watching for this trade war that's kind of 223 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.000 really been kicking off just in the last few hours here, 224 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.879 as President Trump put those twenty five percent tariffs on 225 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.519 Canada and Mexico. Then now we're seeing and as well 226 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.639 as China, and then now we're seeing those countries firing 227 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.799 back against Trump. So now this is kind of going 228 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.519 back and forth, so we can't expect maybe more talk 229 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.440 of that tonight too, but as always, we're kind of 230 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.879 expecting the unexpected as well. 231 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:49.679 About the trade wars. 232 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.240 This is something that the President has not wavered on 233 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.720 because he has said it has to do with fentanyl 234 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.720 crossing the borders, at least when it comes to Mexico 235 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.759 and Canada. Taken to the numbers, Mexico's much more the culprit. 236 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.200 I believe there were maybe nineteen interactions involving fentanyl at 237 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.200 the US Canadian border just last year, as opposed to 238 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.759 something like ninety six hundred with Mexico. 239 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.759 Is it just about the fentanyl? 240 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.639 Will he lay out his end game for these tariffs 241 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.240 now that we've been hit with retaliatory tariffs? 242 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:20.679 Do you think? 243 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.799 I mean, even he is threatening, just not too long 244 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.200 ago on truth Social about putting more tariffs back on Canada. 245 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.159 If they're hitting back with retaliatory tariffs, he's talking about 246 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.399 the reciprocal tariffs that will go back on in the 247 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.799 same amount. So he's still playing hardball with this. He's 248 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.080 still threatening to come back with even more tariffs on 249 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.080 these countries. We don't know exactly what kind of impact 250 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.919 we're going to see here. I've talked to advisors here 251 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.879 at the White House. They said that this is going 252 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:55.000 to not hurt American pocketbooks. But there are Democrats on 253 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.519 Capitol Hill kind of rallying ahead of this address tonight, 254 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.360 saying it is going to be consumers that are going 255 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.320 to be hit hard from these tariffs, so a lot 256 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.320 up in the air, but a lot happening in the 257 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.200 last few hours. 258 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.759 So Elon Musk will be there tonight. We saw him 259 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.440 at the Cabinet meeting last week. He seems to be 260 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:17.720 a common fixture there. What administration officials saying this afternoon 261 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.679 there will be a lot of surprises and a lot 262 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.879 of made for TV moments. Any idea what those would entail, 263 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.879 We don't know just yet. 264 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.320 We are at the White House that we might check 265 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.240 back and see if there's anything else they could share. 266 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.679 A lot they're keeping under wraps. We know the theme, 267 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.480 we know what they're going to hit on, we know 268 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:34.960 some of the guests they're going to have there with 269 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.240 the First Lady, about fifteen guests total, and traditionally presidents 270 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.480 use that as a way to highlight parts of their agenda. 271 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.440 But we don't know exactly what the surprises might be. 272 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.240 But we do know if they've been pointing to this 273 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.120 as more of a you know, made for TV production type. 274 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.440 He has done reality TV. It is somewhat of the 275 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.799 Trump Show. So they did say to Toomid and that 276 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.120 they called it must see TV. At least Caroline Levett 277 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:58.360 herself called it that to us. 278 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.159 Have you heard anything in in terms of protests. 279 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.039 I read that there are some Democrats that will have 280 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.279 some sort of showing of resistance, I guess for lack 281 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:08.279 of a better word. 282 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.440 Yeah, And I think we can't expect that there's going 283 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.320 to be some members that are just not going at all. 284 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.240 We've heard more and more throughout the day that there's 285 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.039 some members announcing that they're just not going to go. 286 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.960 There's something, you know, they'll wear something specific or color 287 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.440 and as a way of kind of protesting. We don't 288 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.000 know if we'll see any actions you know, we've seen 289 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.360 in the past, you know, Pelosi rip up the speech 290 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.200 or do the kind of side alligator clap back. So 291 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.600 there may be some moments, but it's definitely going to 292 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.919 be something to watch to see exactly how they kind 293 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.440 of push back against this. But we also know there's 294 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.840 been things happening throughout the day outside the capital with 295 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.840 Democrats speaking out with protests, so we can't expect it 296 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.159 to be very lively for sure. 297 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.799 All Right, Kelly Meyer, White House correspondent there with News Nation, 298 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.279 Thanks so much. A lot going on there today and 299 00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:59.320 you will stay on top of it. Just like News 300 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.039 Nation always so appreciate your time. 301 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.840 Thank you, Thank you guys. 302 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.960 All right, coming up, Well, we will stand top of 303 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.639 what's going on there and KFI will take the address 304 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:13.120 live tonight at six o'clock. And if they're advertising made 305 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.519 for TV moments, I think that's what we're going to get. 306 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.879 This is not a Pambondi special. I think there is 307 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.440 something in these binders, but we will find out. Remember 308 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.600 to let us know what is your compatibility question? There 309 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.279 are therapists that work for the Love Is Blind franchise 310 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.399 and say they've got a series of questions that they 311 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.919 use for the kids and the pods to figure out 312 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.519 if they're compatible with whoever's on the opposite side of 313 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.840 the pod. What's your compatibility question? What do you think 314 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.679 a couple should agree upon to go the distance? Let 315 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.600 us know using that talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app 316 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.480 and we will tackle that later this hour. Big day 317 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.639 locally and nationally when it comes to politics. Right now, 318 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.519 all the doings going on are at La City Hall, 319 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.720 where ousted fire chief Kristin Crowley is expected to plead 320 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.440 for her job back to the city council. KFI news 321 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.359 as Michael Monks is in the chambers and says the 322 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.319 action's about to start within about ten minutes in terms 323 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.920 of that agenda item coming. 324 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.839 Up, so we will take you there. 325 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.359 Lives should s go down, for lack of a better term, 326 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.599 We've got President Trump addressing a joint session of Congress 327 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.480 tonight at six pm, where. 328 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.000 He says it will be must see TV. 329 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.359 Of course, the backdrop of a trade war, all this 330 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.960 mess with Ukraine. The Ukrainian President coming out today and 331 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.839 basically giving President Trump a win, saying he regrets what 332 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.799 happened in the Oval Office and that he's willing to 333 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:40.559 work with the United States for peace. 334 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.519 Big news coming. 335 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:46.799 Out of the NFL Eagles rewarding Saquon Barkley with a 336 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.599 two year, forty one point two million dollar contract extension 337 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.519 makes him the highest paid running back in NFL history. 338 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.160 Running Backs have had a tough road d hoe in 339 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:01.720 recent years in terms of getting paid of viewed as expungible. 340 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.759 This makes Saquon the NFL's first twenty million plus per 341 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.319 year running back. Huge deal, not just for Saquon Barkley, 342 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.279 but what it means for other running backs. Not that 343 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:18.480 he is not different, he is almost breaking Eric Dickerson's 344 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.759 record for single season rushing yards this season alone, and 345 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.640 just a great guy. I don't know him, but seemingly 346 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.519 not a better guy. That could happen too. Dolly Parton's son, 347 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.680 excuse me, she never had kids. Dolly Parton and her husband, 348 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.640 they were together for sixty years. 349 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.319 Carl Dean, eighty two years. 350 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.839 Old, has died, and there are so many fun little 351 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.200 things about their life together. That odd thing, I mean, 352 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.079 I guess it's not odd, but they didn't have kids. 353 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.160 In fact, that he kind of stayed out of the limelight. 354 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.559 He went to one award show with her in sixty 355 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:54.240 six and then said, you know what, I'm done with those. 356 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.119 I love you, I'll support you, but I'm not dealing 357 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.680 with that anymore. She was talking in recent interviews about 358 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.720 how the two would always have pancakes or waffles on 359 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.400 the weekend, that it was their breakfast ritual, that those 360 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.319 were comfort foods, and that they would share Sunday brunch together, 361 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.519 and she said that that he was always her safety, 362 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.319 her security, her strength. He's been a good husband, We've 363 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:22.839 had a good life, and that she would have all 364 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.000 she was She always said she'd put it all aside 365 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.359 if he needed her. She said, I would only retire 366 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.440 if I was ill or if my husband was ill 367 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.359 and he needed me. So together sixty years met at 368 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.880 the Wishy Washy laundromat. I love that, and he said, 369 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.000 upon meeting her, that's the one I'm going to marry. 370 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:43.559 I love those stories boredom. There was an article in 371 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.839 Vox about boredom because there was a guy who wrote 372 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.319 a book about it. James Dackert is him Professor of 373 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.319 Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo, and his book 374 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.480 is called Out of My Skull, The Psychology of Boredom, 375 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.000 and it was interesting to me because we are not 376 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:11.519 bored anymore. You probably remember life before cell phones. Maybe 377 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.000 it was a long summer day, you didn't have anything 378 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.039 going on, you didn't have to go to school, and 379 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:17.240 the boredom sets in. 380 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:18.039 I'm bored. 381 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.480 If you had parents that said i'll give you something 382 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.759 to be bored about, good for you. But it's not 383 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.480 a thing that we engage in anymore. We don't have to. 384 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.359 We're constantly stimulated by our phones, and you can argue 385 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:35.799 whether that's good or that's bad, but there's no shortage 386 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:38.200 of things to fill our time, if we're standing in 387 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.519 line at the check stand or waiting for the car 388 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.480 to get washed or what have you. But James Dankert 389 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.200 has written a book all about it and making the 390 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.640 most out of boredom if it does strike you, and 391 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.599 he's got these these ways of coping that I think 392 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.680 could be helpful, probably for children, but now we're all 393 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.160 children because we are so we have the ten and 394 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.039 span of a gnat now because of the phones. 395 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.039 It's not just the kids that are addicted. 396 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.920 If we're being honest with ourselves, we're all addicted to 397 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:13.359 being stimulated all the time. And so he says that 398 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:17.240 when the feeling does arise is boredom, to use it 399 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.759 as a reminder that what you're doing is not meaningful 400 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.119 and seek out something that is. For instance, pop in 401 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.400
