Eugene Henlee 4 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.239 Junior is in Costady, accused of running a mafia like operation. 5 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.719 Due in court at about one point thirty this afternoon 6 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:24.000 downtown at the Federal Courthouse. Arrested by federal authorities yesterday. 7 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.480 He is a guy who makes no connections that he 8 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.359 was with the Rolling Sixties, but that he is a 9 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.719 community activist now he is a gang interventionist. 10 00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:35.960 They say he's been running a criminal. 11 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.719 Enterprise, accused of being behind a series of racketeering crimes, extortion, 12 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.920 human trafficking, fraud and murder going back just about four 13 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.920 years ago. Two other alleged members were also arrested yesterday 14 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.479 faced similar accusations. 15 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:52.640 But it's a big story. 16 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.840 He is a very big deal in South LA very 17 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.560 big business deal there as well, So we'll see what 18 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.280 happened there. The old RICO violations is what they go 19 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.799 after gang members. 20 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.159 With Ncuba tournament has started. We've seen a bunch of 21 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.319 games get underway. They've been going for a couple of 22 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.680 hours now and it's going to be weeks of this 23 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.519 before we get down to the final four, and then 24 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.079 of course the NCAA Championship. Quick baseball news. The Angels 25 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.359 are going to try everything to not pile on another 26 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.799 losing season. Ron Washington, the new manager, has suggested that 27 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.879 there are no cell phones in the clubhouse period. Really 28 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.280 no cell phones in the clubhouse. 29 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.079 He did this when he was with Texas, So I've 30 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.040 been wondering about this. There's no cell phones allowed on 31 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:41.920 the field. 32 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.000 I assume. I just know that's a league run. 33 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.680 I just know for football, players are not allowed to 34 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.760 have football cell phones on the field. If you have 35 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.519 a cell phone in your business capacity, use it put away. 36 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.480 It's not supposed to just have them, like you're not 37 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:53.959 supposed to. 38 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.439 Be playing candy Crush or whatever. 39 00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.959 And I've been wondering about how cell phones are going 40 00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:02.640 to work in team meetings and the locker room, all 41 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.400 of that. I wondered that for a long time, not 42 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.000 just in professional sports, but across the board. Yeah, I mean, 43 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.039 you know, we talk about kids putting away their phones 44 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.039 when they get to school and after and how that's 45 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.719 kind of everyone's working their way through that. 46 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.080 And it's been put into place in some places. 47 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.240 Wondering, well, think about the productivity, loss money, real money 48 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.159 lost with people's distractions. 49 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.639 Yeah, they're saying, the team veterans are the ones who 50 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.439 are going to be in charge of enforcing the rules. 51 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.719 So guys like Mike Trout been there for a long time, 52 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.000 he said. Ron Washington, excuse me, said that he had 53 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.199 a similar rule when he managed the Texas Rangers, and 54 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.759 he noticed right away the team coalesces. The team just 55 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.520 interacts like guys are supposed to interact in a locker 56 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.560 room in a clubhouse, right, So he hopes that that 57 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.159 makes a difference. Boston Celtics also have been sold in 58 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.120 what is the largest sale for a sports franchise. Doesn't 59 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.479 mean they're the most valuable, but six point one billion 60 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.240 dollars for the Boston Celtics eclipses the purchase of the 61 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.520 Washington Commanders, which was just just under that at six 62 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:14.560 point oh five billion. 63 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.840 It's weird when you think about clubs being sold. 64 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.039 Do you think about like clubs that are in trouble 65 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.680 And when I got that alert, it's like Celtics. So 66 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.599 what like when you think of like the stalwarts of 67 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:31.360 sports ownership or whatever, you think of like Boston Lake 68 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:32.960 or you know, a Yankees. 69 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.039 It was the Minnesota Timberwolves. You wouldn't have blinked, right 70 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.400 or the commanders or the. 71 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.439 Commanders Yeah not you know, not the highest echelon, but 72 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:42.840 what a history. 73 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.400 It is time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which 74 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.719 means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm 75 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.080 not kissing babies, I'm stealing the lollipops. 76 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:51.919 Yeah, we got. 77 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.800 The real problem is that our leaders are done. 78 00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.000 The other side never quits. So what I'm not going anywhere? 79 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.479 So does how you train the squat? 80 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.800 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by 81 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.680 what has been. You know, Americans have always been gone at. 82 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:09.639 They're not stupid. 83 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.560 A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 84 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.280 Who haven't people voted for you with not swamp watch, 85 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.480 They're all countered. 86 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.040 Well about one o'clock today, our time is when President 87 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.519 Trump is expected to sign this long anticipated executive order 88 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.319 that will shut down or aims to shut down, the 89 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.959 Department of Education, following through on a promise that he 90 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.720 made during the campaign. Even before this is signed as 91 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.720 an executive order, it has been challenged by a group 92 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.600 of Democratic states attorney general. State attorneys general sorry filed 93 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.120 the lawsuit trying to block the Trump administration from dismantling 94 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:54.959 the department. NAACP has also said this is an unconstitutional plan. 95 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.959 Derek Johnson, is the NAACP president, said this is a 96 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.439 dark day for the million of American children who depend 97 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:07.279 on federal funding for equality education. This doesn't this doesn't 98 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:08.240 take away. 99 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.079 I say this. 100 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.680 It doesn't end funding for education. It gets the federal 101 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.959 government out of the business of funding education and puts 102 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.240 everything or would force everything down to the state and 103 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.839 local levels. Trump cannot do this without congressional legislation. That 104 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.279 is where this thing is going to be held up. 105 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.120 It looks like Republicans do hold a majority in the 106 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:37.480 Senate obviously fifty three forty seven, but major legislation like this, 107 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.439 a bill that would eliminate a cabinet level agency, you're 108 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.399 going to need sixty votes, So you're gonna have a 109 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.519 hard time. First of all, you're gonna have a hard 110 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.600 time convincing all the Republicans even to vote for this thing, 111 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.439 and then you got to get a handful of Democrats 112 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:51.800 as well. 113 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.519 Reagan tried this Reagan tried this in eighty one. Carter 114 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.800 established this in eighty seventy nine. Eighty Reagan wanted to 115 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.519 get rid of this. It was a campaign promise, if 116 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.959 I'm not mistaken, but he didn't have the votes in 117 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.680 Congress because the Democrats were never going to go for this. 118 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.480 I believe it was a democratically controlled house. I don't know, 119 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:12.319 don't fact check me. 120 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.000 I was diverse, but this was what you were going 121 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.120 to see with Trump controlling the whole damn thing. You know, 122 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.759 the Republicans having the White House, a Senate in the House, 123 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.720 there's a much greater chance that they're going to be 124 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.839 able to get all of their stuff accomplished within the 125 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:28.759 next three years. 126 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.240 He has loved saying the term mandate that Trump believes 127 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.920 that he was given a mandate to do all of 128 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.519 these things, and you could make the argument, I'm I'm 129 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.360 not going to put up a much of an argument 130 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.480 against you if you believe that, But the mandate does 131 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.680 not allow him to skirt the constitution. The mandate is 132 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.879 we're going to do all the things that we can, 133 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.399 as he has with the dozens of executive orders that 134 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.959 he signed since January twentieth, but there is still checks 135 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.040 and or there are still checks in ballots in this 136 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.560 form of government that we have. So it's not like 137 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.199 I said, it would have to go through Congress before 138 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.759 you eliminate the Department of Education. 139 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:09.680 That looks unlikely. 140 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.639 Gross story out a Grand Rapids where a state senator 141 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.800 responded to an online ad for sex agreed to meet 142 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.000 a seventeen year old girl in person. Thankfully it wasn't. 143 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.399 It was actually an undercover officer. But this guy, state senator, 144 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:30.639 Justin Iicorn arrested Grand Rapids Republican. His line was, when 145 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:36.279 do yeah, why a when do you turn? Eighteen? De disgusting, 146 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.759 Like we've talked about, like eighteen is even like I 147 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.480 get it, it's the legal number, but like, look at 148 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.680 a seventeen year old girl and look at an eighteen 149 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.240 year old girl. 150 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.639 There's no difference. You should know that that's gross. I 151 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.600 that is gross. It's gross. As a grown man, that 152 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.120 is gross. 153 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.160 You said earlier this week that I had teenage girls. 154 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.680 In my house. You did. They were related, they were related, 155 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.160 they were nieces, they were voluntarily there. 156 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.839 But even I am super careful around stuff like this, 157 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.199 only because I don't want it to ever be misconstrued. 158 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.319 How in the world do you go, what's wrong with 159 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.800 your brain that you would write something like. 160 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.519 That, that you'd want that, I mean a child. 161 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.199 It's disgusting. 162 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.000 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 163 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.120 AM six forty. 164 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.759 There is a successful CEO turned disruptor that's running a 165 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.360 million dollar March Madness bracket challenge, or. 166 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.639 Use that term disruptive. Disruptor is that the new influencer. 167 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.320 A disruptor is somebody who likes to move fast and 168 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:52.039 break things right. Very big in Silicon Valley anyway. They're 169 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.360 running a million dollar March Madness bracket challenge that pits 170 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.480 his AI programmers picks against those belonging to one of 171 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:06.480 the world's best known sports gamblers for CE predictions.

I 191 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.159 didn't know there was a that's a very specific law. 192 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.519 The state charge was later dropped following the federal charge, 193 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.759 which is going to carry a higher sentence if he's convicted. 194 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.000 The World Happiness Report is out and it shows that 195 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.799 we have fallen. We're actually in the lowest spot ever 196 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.159 on the list. Who is at the top, the people 197 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.200 who are always at the top of Scandinavians, Finland, remains 198 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.759 the happiest nation for the eighth year in a row. 199 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.960 Mexico and Costa Rica top ten or a. CBS News 200 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:49.600 writes it up Costa Rico, Okay, cool, CBS. No wonder 201 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.559 AI is coming to take your freaking job? 202 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.519 Isn't? 203 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.080 Doesn't happiness come from within? 204 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:55.720 Are you? 205 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.639 A happiness comes from within person. I can be happy 206 00:10:59.639 --> 00:10:59.919 in men. 207 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.639 I think some situation or many down situations, but I 208 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.559 can also be I would assume everybody could be down 209 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.080 when everybody else is having a good time. 210 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.759 I heard a story, read an article. Somebody said to me, 211 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.039 I don't know where it came from, but it was 212 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.600 about money making you happy, and money stops making you happy. 213 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.200 According to science, when your needs are met, essentially your 214 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.960 your bills can be paid. You know you have a 215 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.960 You're not worried about money in terms of a roof 216 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.360 over your head, food on the table, getting to and 217 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.720 from work, a job, a little extra for elective spending. 218 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.279 Then then it's done. 219 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.080 It's done its job when it comes to happiness essentially 220 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.559 a science and everyone's saying no, But I'd be so 221 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.120 much happier if I had a vacation on a yacht 222 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.519 in the Mediterranean. Okay, well, then think about what goes 223 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.200 along with that. 224 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.679 But if you had a vacation alone on a new 225 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.240 yacht Adrane loanly so, then there goes your happiness exactly. 226 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.080 There's a lot more to say. You could bring your friends. 227 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.080 Then you're sitting on your yacht going are they only 228 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.919 my friends because I brought them on this yacht? Say 229 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.159 you're with your family? Am I spoiling my kids because 230 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.120 I brought them on this yacht? I mean, think about it, 231 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.960 like the whole mo money more problems. And maybe that's 232 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.679 an exaggerated hypothetical, but it kind of makes sense when 233 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.080 you put it like that that if you're just relying 234 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.240 on money for happiness, kind of it stops making you 235 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:29.639 officially happy when it. 236 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.720 Stops making you stressed about not having it. That's probably 237 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.440 an obvious thing. 238 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.120 One of the less obvious things they point out in 239 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.759 this study is that the percentage of people who eat 240 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.120 alone really that dining has always meant been meant to 241 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.960 be shared, to be shared, be shared, going all the 242 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.919 way back to the Bible, the last supper, you're supposed 243 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.720 you're supposed to be surrounded by people. 244 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.360 Break bread with rape, bread with people. There's a reason 245 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.000 that we do that. 246 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.879 So they said, about one in four Americans report eating 247 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.200 all of their meals alone. 248 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.279 The previous day. Really about a quarter of people. 249 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.879 And that has to do with your happiness. Huh, if 250 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.759 you eat alone, you're less likely to be happy. I 251 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:10.919 would have never guessed. 252 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.440 That dining alone has become more prevalent for every age group, 253 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.159 but especially for young people. Again, we talk about the 254 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.399 phones and the ubiquity of phones, So you can eat 255 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.519 alone and still be finger quotes connected. I mean, you know, 256 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.399 you could still do something while you're eating, as opposed 257 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.039 to just sitting down and what talking with someone. 258 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.399 I was just going to say, how much of it 259 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.759 is about eating with someone versus having face time with 260 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.000 someone for a half an hour, Because like, I'm a 261 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.200 fast eater. It takes me about four minutes to eat 262 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.840 a meal. I've seen it, and so that's not that. 263 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.720 But I can understand the value of a face to 264 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.480 face conversation. Communication with people are just being with someone 265 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.000 in the same space face to face. 266 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.919 Well, and meals used to be that thing. 267 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.440 Meals used to be the reason that was the only 268 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.320 time that my dad and I would sit at the 269 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.679 same table or the only time that my sisters and 270 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.000 I and my parents would all be in the same place. 271 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.399 I guess that's the vehicles for togetherness, right, Yeah. It 272 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.000 doesn't have to do with the food per se. 273 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.440 It's just that's it said that the report indicates major 274 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.240 differences in the rates of meal sharing around the world 275 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.159 and that the sharing of those meals has a very 276 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.519 positive effect. 277 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.240 On well being another one. 278 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.919 Another factor that contributed to America being way down in 279 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:24.639 the rankings was the rise in political polarization and votes 280 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.759 against quote the system that the evolution of happiness and 281 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.519 trust is highly associated with the rise in the likelihood 282 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.679 of voting for anti system parties in Western Europe and 283 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.480 the United's funny. 284 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.440 It's like when I'm having a conversation with someone and 285 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.360 I'm getting those benefits of having a conversation with someone, 286 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.720 and then as soon as politics come in, it takes 287 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.200 a sharp left in my mind, sharp left, and then 288 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:47.320 I want the conversation to be able. 289 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.360 It's such a poison pill. It it's such a cupful 290 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.519 of bleach in a bucket. 291 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.159 No matter what it is, it just makes me feel 292 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.960 no matter if it's a Republican or a Democrat, or anybody. 293 00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:59.799 It just goes ooh yeah. 294 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.200 See don't now, I don't want to happen. Now all 295 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:07.600 the built up goodwill of happiness is ended. 296 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.679 From top to bottom. Happiest nations, Yeah, Finland is number one. 297 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:18.200 Hel stink Gate, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands, Coasta, Rica, Norway, Israel, Luxembourg, Mexico, Australia, 298 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.440 New Zealand, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Lithuania, Austria, Canada, Slovenia, and 299 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.240 the Czech Republic. 300 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.840 Tech Talk when we come back to Gary and Shannon. 301 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.000 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM. 302 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.639 Six forty stories we are following for you Today, a 303 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.639 new deadline has passed for the DOJ to provide details 304 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:45.519 on deportation flights. Federal judge gave the Department of Justice 305 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.399 until about nine am our time today to provide more 306 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.840 details on the flights carrying those alleged to Venezuelan gang members. 307 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.919 Latest legal back and forth between the White House and 308 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.639 the judge.

Even 311 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.919 Chief Justice John Roberts has waged in and said it's 312 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.960 a to do. I don't think that's what he said. 313 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.200 Now it's time for tech Talk. 314 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.879 The machines are getting smarter. 315 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.799 This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet. 316 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.960 Mark Saltzman is joining us to talk all of things technology. 317 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:26.360 Mark. 318 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.639 I saw a video from a Chinese mall. I think 319 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.360 it's what it was from. A couple of the mannequins 320 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:39.840 were actually bipedal robots that were running on treadmills, wearing 321 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.960 the clothing that was being sold in the store. It 322 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:48.279 was very disconcerting, very terrifying, unbelievably weird looking. 323 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.240 I was in Japan a couple of years ago, and 324 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:55.519 they had robots walking around, bipedal humanoid robots walking around 325 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.960 as if they were just you know, mingling with regular pedestrians. 326 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.279 I don't know what kind of AI was was inside, 327 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.119 what was going on, but it's like people didn't even 328 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.440 blink an eye. It was just, you know, it's a 329 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.920 normal everyday life just walking along with the robots. 330 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.160 Yeah, so China. 331 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.240 So this is interesting what we're seeing right now in 332 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.680 the AI world with you know, chatch Ept and Google 333 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.640 Gemini and Microsoft's co Pilot and Grock from Elon Musk's 334 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.720 companies trying to raise you know, billions and billions of dollars, 335 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.000 and then a Chinese company like deep Seat comes in 336 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.000 that says I can do this, We can do this 337 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.119 for a lot less and fewer resources and all that, 338 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.000 and it causes the you know, the investors here to 339 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.200 freak out. Same thing is happening with robots, right. I mean, 340 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.079 En Video's CEO Jensen Huang just talked. You know, this 341 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.799 is the the CEO of a three trillion dollar company 342 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.680 who just yesterday in San Jose wowed the crowds with 343 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.359 these robots. And you know, similarly there's Boston Dynamics and 344 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.319 and Elon Musk's Tesla or Optimist. But a Chinese company 345 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.319 has a sixteen thousand dollars robot that appears to be 346 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.680 as agile and as intelligent as what these American companies 347 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.720 are building at The company is called Unitry, and the 348 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.720 H one robot is again just I say just, but 349 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.920 just sixteen thousand to start, when in Video yesterday they 350 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.920 were saying that their robots are going to be probably 351 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.920 about one hundred thousand to start. 352 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.079 Which you know, that's a big difference. 353 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.640 So we're gonna this is gonna be the next, the 354 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.079 next gold Rush, the next you know war tech war 355 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.079 between countries. Is you know, how fast and how inexpensively 356 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.279 can they produce these humanoid robots? 357 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:45.920 You know, it's gonna be interesting. 358 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.279 What do you think would be the first real use 359 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.680 for for humanoid robots like this now? And I don't 360 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.240 mean manufacturing, I mean what what would we use them for? 361 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:56.720 Yeah? 362 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.680 Around the house, household tasks things like that. 363 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.519 Yeah, so humanoid robots in the home would be domestic helpers.
