1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: This is ninety three WIBC the Kendall and case Show. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Rob is away. Casey is sick. We wish her a 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: speedy recovery. But in the meantime, I'm Ethan Hatcher and 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: that's Jerry Lopez filling in. If Rob was here, Jerry, 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: he would one hundred percent be losing his mind over 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: the story that got published yesterday by the Indiana Capitol Chronicle. 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Rotten Indiana Republicans up to their old Shenanigans as usual, 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: this time as the GOP leadership has pulled, without support 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: or without approval from the bill's author, a bill that 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: would ban luxury cars from being purchased on the taxpayer 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: dime here in the state of Indiana. 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: This is disgusting. 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: This is a very strange hill to die on, as 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: the article frames it, built to ban Indiana's local governments 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: from buying luxury vehicles with taxpayer money. Dead in the 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Indiana House after Republican leaders removed it from the daily 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: calendar without the author's consent. Democrats unsuccessfully yesterday to force 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: the House to vote on the bill from Representative Mitch 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: Gore of Indianapolis, which recently was unanimously approved by a 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: Republican House Committee, so bipartisan support Republicans have full control 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: of the House. Even those Republicans said, yeah, we should 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: probably at least be bringing this to the floor to 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the for a vote, and then of course Speaker Todd Houston. 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: Said nope, you and pulled it off the. 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: Calendar because apparently he has sole discretion to make scheduling 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: decisions as it concerns the House. But this gives him 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of authority to essentially override the will 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: of other elected representatives. 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: What are we thinking about this, Jerry? 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, I want to know what 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 4: happened after everybody was good with it and then it 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 4: gets pulled. 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: The first thing I want to do is I want 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: to start looking at the money. 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 4: Who is sending money to campaigns that would be affected 36 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 4: by this law? 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm sure he got a talking to 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: you by beck With who said, you know, look, I 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of fat friends. 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: We need fancy cars to drive them around. 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 4: I mean, it didn't this administration start off on the 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 4: doze side, right like with the Elon Musk And we're 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 4: gonna start cutting this and we're gonna cut that. This 44 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 4: seems very obvious when you just spent all this time 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 4: talking about roads, basic necessities for your constituents. We want 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: to make sure that you guys can still buy luxury cars. 47 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 4: That's a problem. 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, it shows you that you know any to any 49 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: extent that they supported Doze. It was just posturing, you 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: know what, They don't really believe it. 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: I would allow them to buy luxury cars if they 52 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: only could do low profile tires, so then they could 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 4: go round here and pop their tires like the rest 54 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 4: of us. 55 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then maybe they finally do something about the roads. 56 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: So there we go. 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Indiana leadership blocking this bill, which obviously would 58 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: benefit Hoosier. So they are once again acting not for 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: your interest but for their own interest because they don't 60 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: look just drive a Honda Civic. What's wrong with a 61 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Honda Civic. They're a good car, reliable car, economical car. 62 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: You can drive them around on the taxpayer dimon Also, 63 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: nothing is preventing you from driving your luxury vehicle. As 64 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: far as I'm aware, there's not a state law that 65 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: says you are mandated to use the state funded, taxpayer 66 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: paid car. If you want to drive in luxury, do 67 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: it on your own time. You're already well compensated and 68 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: have access to insider trading. That would you know, land 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: the rest of us in jail. But you are able 70 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: to co opt your position as an elected official for 71 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: your own financial benefit. 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: Like then, just drive your own car. It's not too 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: much to ask. And somebody here in the YouTube chat 74 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: Brian made a grip point. He said, well, now we 75 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: have to define the word luxury car. Sure, and I 76 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 4: think with the cost of vehicles today, there's a lot 77 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: of cars that you probably would not think would cost 78 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 4: that much that definitely would cross into the luxury side. 79 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: If it is the about a third of the cost 80 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: of most average houses in the Indianapolis market, I think 81 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: that would define as a luxury car. If you are 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: scraping up against a six figure vehicle, that is a 83 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: that is a luxury car. Well, I will likely never 84 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: drive a six figure vehicle in my life. 85 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: I can only look at it and pay for it. 86 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, of course, pay for for the elected officials 87 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to live in the lap of luxury. It is amazing 88 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: the contempt that our elected officials continue to show for Hoosiers. 89 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: An other issue on marijuana legalization, broad broad consensus across 90 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: the state of Indiana to legalize marijuana at least in 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: some capacity, whether that is access for medicinal marijuana or 92 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: full legalization across the board. Of course, the Trump administration 93 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: has also moved to change the classification of marijuana, reschedule it. 94 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: And that was for years. 95 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: Remember that was something like Eric Holcomb would say, well, 96 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: we're not going to legalize marijuana until they change the 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: scheduling and the classification at the federal level. 98 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: Well, what's the excuse now, guys, right right, yeah, nowadays reclassified? 99 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: Well it's been reclassified, So what's the excuse surrounded by 100 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: states that have recreation or medicinal. 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Well, we don't want Eli Lilly to lose money, so 102 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: therefore we are continue to be against it. 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: And then they're also restriggering you just said the quiet 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: part out loud. I want to let you know that 105 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: is one hundred percent. Look at that in the alcohol lobby, 106 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: and that's why we don't have it. 107 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: Well, and then now they're wanting to restrict your ability 108 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: to advertise for you know, illegal out of state businesses 109 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: in the state of Indiana. 110 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: You know, well, we don't want to drive people to 111 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: other states. Guys. 112 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: We have Google Google exists, just let them advertise. 113 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 114 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, But at the same time, you know, big big 115 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 4: Pharma wants you taking their pills that have horrible side effects. 116 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: So we're we're losing. 117 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: We're losing even more money then, because not only are 118 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: we not participating in the growing weed economy, but then 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: we're not even getting advertising dollars from out of state dispensaries. 120 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Come on, man, we don't need the money, ethan, we 121 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: don't need the money. Yeah, apparently not. Well, I mean, 122 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they don't feel like they need 123 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: the money when they have luxury cars to drive around 124 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: on the taxpayer dime. 125 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: Elsewhere. 126 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Of course, we have representatives like Jesse Brown. 127 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: He is he's an interesting kid, my favorite. 128 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's he's he's interesting because he's one of 129 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: the few elected Democrat officials, at least in the city 130 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis, who has vocally opposed to the Shenanigans from 131 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: the Hawk Seat administration. He was one of the loudest 132 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: and first voices to denounce the sexual harassment scandal that 133 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: was coming out of the City Council building. He's remained 134 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: very consistent on that he does listen to the concerns 135 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: of his constituents. But then on the other hand, you 136 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: get these wacky instances where I mean, he just he 137 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: falls into the partisan hackery of the left. In this case, 138 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: they were having a discussion about climate change, and he's 139 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: advocating against the continued implementation of coal and natural gas, 140 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: which to a limited extent, I agree, because we need 141 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: to be transitioning to nuclear power immediately. But energy diversification 142 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: is never a bad thing, and continuing to maintain the 143 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: energy resources we already have is going to be a 144 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: necessary component of ultimately transitioning to more efficient forms of 145 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: power generation. But he somehow connects did the climate change 146 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: so called crisis to immigration into the United States, Because, 147 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: of course, the reason why we have so many illegal immigrants, Jerry, 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: is because they lost their farms due to climate change. 149 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: At least according to Socialist City Council member Jesse Brown. 150 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 5: Thank you for the permission as a chair. Is the 151 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: cost of climate change? I know it's not sexy to 152 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 5: talk about anymore for some reason, even though every scientist 153 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 5: on Earth is pulling their hair out and talking about 154 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 5: the catastrophic damage it's costing, not just to polar bears, 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 5: not just to anything else like nature and friendship and rainbows. 156 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 5: It's causing real costs, especially, I might add to immigration, right, 157 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 5: A huge amount of immigration and increasing is caused by 158 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 5: climate refugees, people whose farms were devastated by climate change 159 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 5: and who are now moving to the United States. So again, 160 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 5: I would love to see some numbers on the cost 161 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 5: of that which would go up if we have to 162 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: build new natural gas plants or keep culified parde plants online. 163 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't And this is where I think Jesse loses 164 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people, because, you know, on the one hand, 165 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: he you know, has been again very solid in holding 166 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: the Democrat administration, members of his own party accountable for 167 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: the misbehavior in the you know, city county building. But 168 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: on the other hand, you know, then he just has 169 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: these very wacky conclusions, and he says stuff like this like, oh, yeah, 170 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, migration climate refugees caused because they lost their 171 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: family farm due to climate change. I've never heard a 172 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: single illegal immigrants like, oh, I lost my farm, That's 173 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: why I came to the United States, not once. 174 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: Forget illegal. I haven't heard one immigrant say that ever, 175 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 4: for that matter, not one. So I mean Jesse Brown 176 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 4: loses me the moment he introduces himself as a democratic socialist. Sure, 177 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: you lose all. We can't even have the discussion. I mean, 178 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 4: look at mom, Donnie right, Well, we'll see what happens there. 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: But to your point, much like John Fetterman sometimes me, 180 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: the stars align and I and Jessie Brown agree on 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 4: a number of things. 182 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: Am I Am I crazy for feeling like he would 183 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: still probably make a better mayor than Joe hawk Sett. 184 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 4: I think you would actually try to help people. Yeah, 185 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: at what cost that would have to be seen? 186 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: But well the cost would be enormous, because that's, of 187 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: course South how socialism is always paid for. There is 188 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: another leftist. This is a member of Parliament in Canada 189 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: by the name of Laurel Collins, also making some crazy 190 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: assertions about climate change. In this case, she was upset 191 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: during a committee meeting regarding climate change, where somebody called 192 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: it climate hysteria and she immediately proceeded into hysterics. 193 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 6: I want to start off by addressing one of the 194 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 6: comments that was made by the witnesses around climate hysterics. 195 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 3: Hysterics hysteria it refers. 196 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 6: To something that is wildly emotional. It comes from the 197 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 6: Greek word womb of the womb. It is used in 198 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 6: ancient Greek to refer to things associated with women. And 199 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 6: I think, I hope you'll forgive me if I get emotional. 200 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 6: Climate emergencies are not gender neutra. The degradation of ecosystems 201 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 6: disproportionately impacts women and girls. And I am wildly emotional. 202 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: This is the existential crisis of our time. And to 203 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 6: hear that asking for high ambition is climate hysteria. That 204 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 6: makes me wildly emotional. 205 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 206 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 6: I think that we need to think about the intersection 207 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 6: of gender and the climate crisis. And I hope that 208 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 6: the people around this table and the people listening will 209 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 6: refrain from using language like climate hysteria. 210 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: Rre So, not only is climate change allegedly driving the 211 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: migration crisis in the United States, but it's also sexist 212 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: global issue women most affected. 213 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: What she did seem like a hysterical woman, Well. 214 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah she did. 215 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: She said that it was wildly emotional, and then she 216 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: became immediately wildly emotional. 217 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: Never see anybody disprove their point faster. Yeah, honestly, I 218 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 4: was within like twenty second. 219 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: Clip record time.

Was the first time I had 243 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: got to experience a state that stayed the same. 244 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Indiana used to not have daylight saving time. It was 245 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: Mitch Daniels who brought daylight saving time back, and like 246 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: I understand why he did it, because it brought us 247 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: in with our neighboring states. We lost a lot of 248 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: economic benefit, you know, because just logistics would change whenever 249 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: other states would change their time, but then Indiana would not, 250 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: So you know, just logistics would get screwed up every 251 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: single time. So from a planning perspective, I understand why 252 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: it was re implemented. 253 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: But it shouldn't. 254 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: It should just go away across the board. 255 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: And now several states are entertaining exactly that, looking to 256 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: institute either permanent daylight saving time or eliminating it all together. 257 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: Legislation to make daylight saving time permanent, setting the clocks 258 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: ahead an hour in the spring and never setting them 259 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: back again in the fall or readjusting them bills introduced 260 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: in Mississippi, Missouri, bra New Mexico, New York, Virginia, or 261 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: West and West Virginia. Meanwhile, the opposite legislation is making 262 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: standard time permanent, which we're currently on bills in Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, 263 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Vermont, 264 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: and Washington introduced. 265 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: Look it just it needs to be resolved. 266 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: Congressionally the whole The whole issue here is you know, 267 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: if you have states that are multiple different times, it 268 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: just creates a headache for everybody. Let's what I say is, 269 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: let's split the difference. Let's just set it back by 270 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: like a half hour, right, Okay, so you're not you're 271 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: not missing much time either way. You know, you got 272 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: a half hour daylight saving time, you got a half 273 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: hour standard time. You split the difference, call out a day, 274 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: and just keep the stop the clock steady. 275 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: Why why do we do this? 276 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: It's always the disaster of people, you know, always end 277 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: up losing sleep or end up, you know, being late 278 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: for their job the next day and yet yelling at 279 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: their kids because they need. 280 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: To go to bed.

Wonder when they're undisturbed for thirty years. 523 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you gotta wonder, like would the bullets still 524 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: be good after all that time, Like I assumed that 525 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: it would be, you know, subject to like temperature changes, 526 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: heat expansion, and cool shrinking. 527 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 4: I mean, they're going to get to keep it, right, 528 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: you keep it, you frame it, you put it up somewhere. Obviously, 529 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 4: you leave it unloaded. That's a that's a part of 530 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: your bar's history. American history. 531 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah, No, this isn't the United Kingdom. You get 532 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: to finders keepers, you would get to keep a firearm 533 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: like that. They're not going to take it from you. 534 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: And then of course now it's it's considered antique, you know, 535 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: it's it's no longer in the registry. 536 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 3: So and I don't I'm sure it wasn't in the 537 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: registry already. 538 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: Good point speaking about finding things in unusual places, though, 539 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: especially antique objects. This is a story that comes out 540 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: of France, where a hospital was evacuated after a male 541 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: patient arrived with a World War One artillery shell lodged 542 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: in his bomb. According to the shell report, the unamed 543 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: twenty four year old had been rushed to the Accident 544 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: and Emergency unit into loose late Saturday night. He was 545 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: in a state of extreme discomfort, probably putting it mildly, 546 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: having inserted a large object into his rectum. According to 547 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: an inside source, surgeons conducted an emergency surgery, during which 548 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: they discovered the shocking source of his pain, which was 549 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: a live eight inch bombshell from nineteen eighteen that had 550 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: been put inside his bomb Fearing a potential fire in 551 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: the hole, but I'm at the hospital. Medical personnel alerted 552 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: the bomb squad and the fire brigade evacuated the facility, 553 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: but not the guy. Like he's sitting there on the 554 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: operating table and he's got a shell. 555 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: Well it is, but. 556 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: And security peroter was formed around the medical center as 557 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: authorities investigated the explosive situation. Fortunately the retro munition, which 558 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: was also pointed and over an inch wide. 559 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 4: Oh god, it was yeah, I mean, where do you 560 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: go from there? 561 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't It wasn't deemed a threat. 562 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: The bomb disposal experts took the shell with them, while 563 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: the patient, who was a French national, remained at the 564 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: hospital so he could recover from the surgery. They say 565 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: that it was unclear how the antique ordinance ended up 566 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: in the man's posterior, but experts suspected that the combustible 567 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: could have been the result of a party stunt gone awry. 568 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: Sure it was a better Friends party stunt. I like 569 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: the reaction from the French emergency room workers. They wrote 570 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: that the medical staff and to lose our quote accustomed 571 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: to treating the events or treating victims injured during sexual games. 572 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: We see these all the time in France. 573 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: Was it takes the unexploded munitions and themselves? 574 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: What are they? 575 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 2: What are these people doing? 576 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is I mean a very all look, 577 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: I mean I get this really puts to the test. 578 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough, I. 579 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 4: Mean very often that I have been a loss for 580 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 4: words like crazy. 581 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: What do you have to say about this, keV? 582 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 8: The French are a kinky bunch, That's all I have 583 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 8: to say. 584 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 2: Abso freaking lutely. 585 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that not not a appropriate object I think to 586 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: be using. But what a what a strange place to 587 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: discover an unexploded artillery shell, you know, for you got 588 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: fire firearms in the wall of the distillery and artillery 589 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: shells and French posteriors. 590 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: What's the Yeah, I'm speech less, I'm without speech. 591 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 4: It doesn't happen and you're telling and listen, some poor 592 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 4: eod guy is now carrying this crappy grenade thinking he 593 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 4: was going to get a cool job, and they show 594 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 4: up to the hospital and this is what you gotta do. 595 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a bad story all the way around. 596 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 7: Yeah. 597 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: The emergency workers to just take it in stride. They're like, ah, 598 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: we have seen this before. We're all hahah is no more. 599 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: Stay tuned in ninety three at wib C, Ethan Hatcher 600 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: and Jerry Lopez filling and we're going to talk a 601 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: little bit about the doomsday clock. They have moved it 602 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: forward once again. They say that we are now the 603 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: closest to midnight that we have ever been. I dispute 604 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: the validity of that assertion. I think it is a 605 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: little bit of specious and reactionary. And also on the 606 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: notes of nuclear power. You know, I'm sure you're familiar 607 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: with the Schoolhouse of Rock, Jerry, I am. 608 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 2: Well. 609 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: Education to teach you about how bills are passed through 610 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: the government, teach you about the function of grammar. Often, 611 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, you can incorporate music as an educational experience, 612 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: and we are going to do that with informing the 613 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: public about nuclear reactors and how they operate. 614 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 3: We're going to learn something. 615 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: Stay tuned for that coming up next on ninety three WIBC. 616 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and k C Show. 617 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: Wrapping up the show here on a Tuesday morning. 618 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: Have a look. 619 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: It's been a fun time with you, Jerry. You enjoyed it. 620 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 3: Always a fun time, always a fun time. 621 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: This is the Kendall and k C Show, Ethan Hatcher 622 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: and Jerry Lopez filling in, and we're talking about the 623 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: doomsday clock that moved up last week. And the doomsday 624 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: clock is a symbolic clock. It's controlled annually and set 625 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of 626 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: the Atomic Scientists. I feel like the relevancy of the 627 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: doomsday clock has kind of lost its appeal. It was 628 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: mostly a representative tool in the war era, and I 629 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: mean it's kind of part of the name there where 630 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: you got the bord of atomic scientists that are setting 631 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: it because the fear of the era was destruction from 632 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: nuclear power. But now since they have lost their relevance, 633 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: they are just scraping for attention. And they have said 634 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: it to eighty five seconds to midnight, which is the 635 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: closest that it has ever been set to theoretical destruction 636 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: of humanity. 637 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 10: It is the determination of the Bulletin's Science and Security 638 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 10: Board that humanity has not made sufficient progress on the 639 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 10: existential risks that endangerous all. We thus moved the clock forward. 640 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 10: The doomsday clock is a tool for communicating how close 641 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 10: we are to destroying the world with technologies of our 642 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 10: own making. The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate change, 643 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 10: and disruptive technologies are all growing. Every second counts, and 644 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 10: we are running out of time. It is a hard 645 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 10: truth that this is our reality. It is now eighty 646 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 10: five second into midnight. This is the closest the world 647 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 10: has ever been to midnight. 648 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 3: I would only agree that a symbolic clock is his 649 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: nourishing to the intellect, as a photograph of oxygen to 650 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: a drowning man. 651 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure how you can honestly say 652 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: eighty five seconds nah. Now, what is going on in 653 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: the world today that makes you think we are on 654 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: the precipice of total destruction? I mean the number of 655 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: times that the United States governments almost bombed themselves, bombed 656 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: the American people, dropping nuclear weapons literally into lakes, like. 657 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: Oh oops, it's glad it didn't go off. 658 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: The time when a flock of geese alerted Soviets nuclear 659 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: detection monitoring station and it was literally one guy sitting 660 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: at the desk and he had to make the call like, oh, 661 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: are we going to push the big red button? 662 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 3: And no, he just. 663 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: Sat on it and used a little bit of deductive 664 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: reasoning that well, hey, if they were going to be 665 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: actually launching a nuclear attack, they're not going to be 666 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: doing it from one base at one military installation, you know, 667 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: across the country. Let's just wait a few minutes and 668 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: see if a city explodes. 669 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 3: And of course it turned. 670 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: Out that it didn't, and they figured out that their 671 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: sensors were calibrated too sensitively. And then yeah, the interface 672 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: between like a flock of geese and some light bouncing 673 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: off a cloud almost brought the world, Yeah, almost brought 674 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: to the world to the break of destruction. But then 675 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: these people are saying that we are now closer to 676 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: annihilation than ever before. 677 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: That's I mean, if you. 678 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 4: Move the clock up, if you move the clock closer, 679 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 4: then yes, we're going to be closer than we've ever 680 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 4: been before. That doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, right, 681 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 4: But what the heck is eighty five seconds? Like, how 682 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 4: do they calibrate that time? Is what I want to know. 683 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, you just moving what do 684 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 3: you think about seventeen seconds closer to destruction. 685 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: But you know, again, it used to be a symbol 686 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: for how close we were to nuclear destruction. 687 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 2: And I think these people are just. 688 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 3: Certain they ever moved it back Ethan, Yeah, okay, yeah, 689 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 3: they moved it. It doesn't just like progressively moving. That's 690 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 3: only seen it go forward. I've never seen it go 691 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 3: the other way. 692 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 4: But I'm assuming like during the Cold War, we're way 693 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 4: closer than we are now. 694 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely. 695 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: And of course the primary paranoia of the Cold War 696 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: was nuclear weapons being used against us, and I feel 697 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: like people often confuse and conflate nuclear weapons with atomic energy. Like, look, 698 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: even in the worst case scenario, nuclear power plant is 699 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: never going to turn into a bomb. When Chernobyl exploded, 700 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't because of fissile material. That was a steam 701 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: explosion that breached the containment. 702 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 7: That was. 703 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, well they didn't explode though. 704 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: No, Fukushima didn't explode, and actually the containment largely worked 705 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: in Fukushima and there were no you know, mass casualties 706 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: that were caused by that. It was just built in 707 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: a poor location. But that's that's the real key here 708 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: is education. When people are educated about something, when they 709 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: understand something, there are less likely to fear it. So 710 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: in the vein of a schoolhouse of rock, which educational 711 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: material you taught us about, like how bills are pasted, 712 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: the function of grammar in the English language conjunction, junction, 713 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: what's your function? Well here you can learn a little 714 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: bit about nuclear energy. Set to an early two thousand's 715 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: emo song, This is what AI was made for. 716 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,959 Speaker 11: Ever wonder how nuclear power plants work. 717 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 3: It sounds like sci fi, but it's really just a 718 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 3: way to heat water. It works like this. 719 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 8: It all starts with your radium, a metal myne from Rucker, 720 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 8: fined and shaped in and tiny fellas. 721 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 11: He's on the size of a sugar chube holds as 722 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 11: much energy as a son uncle. If the pouch gets 723 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 11: stacked in a fuel rods wich are just metal tom 724 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 11: the rodschet puzzle together then loaded into the reactor tar. 725 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 3: Now here's the cool part. Uranium is unstable. 726 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 11: It's Adams whatever apart with one splitz. 727 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 3: And release the heat and some neutrons. That's cold fission. 728 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 3: Those neutrons man nearby. 729 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 11: Atoms and splits them too. 730 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 3: More more neutrons, more splits. 731 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 11: Control rods made of boron slide and out, absorbing neutrons, 732 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 11: more rods, and reaction slows emergency draw the mall. 733 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 3: So what happens with all that energy? 734 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 11: The fuel rods are surrounded by water inside. 735 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 3: The reactor, the fission he's a. 736 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 6: Water which he's more water into steam. 737 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 11: The steam spins the turbine, the turby spins a generator, 738 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 11: electric sady plund out to the cruise sink cooling towers 739 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 11: you see from the highway. 740 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 3: That's not smoke. It's so when we run out of 741 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 3: your radium. 742 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 11: No reserves could last over two hundred years, and there's 743 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 11: more all they see than we ever need. 744 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 6: More nuclear reactors. 745 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 5: Dangerous they can't. 746 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: Have accidents, but not nuclear explosions. You're noble. 747 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 11: That was bad, really bad, But technically it was a 748 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 11: steam explodes. Shut out of power disasters is a different shot. 749 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 3: How we have better back of power doing. 750 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 2: System stricter over So. 751 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 3: What about the radiation? 752 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 11: Layers of steel and concrete keep it in in the ways, 753 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 11: stored on sex sealed and monitors for decades. 754 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 3: So why don't we build more reactors? They're expensive, billions 755 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 3: of dollars and a decade to constructs, and a few. 756 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 11: High profile disasters made the public nervous. Ninety four reactors 757 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 11: are run in the US today, providing nineteen percent of 758 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 11: our electricity nuclear power? 759 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 3: Is it as scary as it sounds? 760 00:37:55,480 --> 00:38:00,959 Speaker 11: No flowing gream, just Adam splitting creates Stein. 761 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: That was your educational service announcement on The Kendall and 762 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: Casey Show. Thanks for tuning in, Everybody, Ethan Hatcher and 763 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Lopez signing off, Thanks for listening.
