<v Speaker 1>You're list Saints kf I AM six forty the Bill

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Handle show on demand on the iHeartRadio f y fy

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty handle. Here on a Monday morning, November tenth,

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>some big stories we're looking at.

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>It looks like.

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>The stoppage, the government shutdown is ending, and that looks

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>like probably at the end of the week, and.

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Then this morning the Supreme Court.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And this is a long shot because you had the

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration and conservative organization suing to have the same

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>sex marriage, which was constitutionally defined as a right by

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the court overturn and the Court wouldn't.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Even hear it.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>So pre Supreme Court wouldn't grant sciori, which means we

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear it. And the Appeals Court decision

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>stays the same, and that is that gay marriage is

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a fundamental right.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 2>So a lot going on today now.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Since we're talking about this shutdown ending and it's forty

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>days so far, and it probably won't actually happen for

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>another few days. Assuming everything goes according to Hoyle, this

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>thing ends up the way it looks like it will,

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.759
<v Speaker 1>air traffic controllers will be back in the saddle again.

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>You will see them getting paid again.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Because they turned out to be the poster child of

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>all of this air traffic controllers. People are traveling. I

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>mean the main stories as you looked at food banks

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>that were lined up and people were by the hundreds

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>lining up, and let's say you watch the news before

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that was the air traffic controller story. Before that were

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>people trying to fly and flights were delayed.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Lines were ridiculously long.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>There were shutdowns of airports because there wasn't enough staffing

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and by law, if they don't have a minimum number

0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of staffing, they have to shut down the airport. And so, okay,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>air traffic controls are back. Our system is going to

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>be back in place, and boy, what a system. We

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>have antiquated equipment, computer programs that are absolutely horrific and

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>don't exist anymore or don't exist working well. Have you've

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>seen those the air traffic control systems? How you have

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>these guys or these women too, and they have these

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 1>little placards that they move up and down to see

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>where the airplanes are. It's a manual system. They're still

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>doing that. I mean, it's crazy. Commercials here on KFI

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>are sold and are put into a computer system and

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>it actually works it's a manual system in the air

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>traffic control system, and they're staffing shortages like crazy. For

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>some reason, people don't want to be air traffic controllers,

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do it, and the pay is very good.

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>The problem is is that it is probably the most

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>stressful job that exists in the United States because if

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>losing one moment of focus over a shift, hundreds of

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>people are at risk of dying. And that kind of

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>stress is completely crazy. Also, let's say they were to

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>hire enough air traffic controllers right now, okay, to maintain

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the system. You go to air traffic control school and

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how long that lasts, and then someone

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>is put into a subordinate position under a senior controller,

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and then the apprenticeship starts and it takes years to

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>build up proficiency where someone is considered a journeyman or

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>journey woman, a worker that in fact can deal on

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>their own successfully with the job itself. So what is

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of it changing. How about privatization, put it

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in private hands. Well, that argument doesn't really fly because

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>are you really going to have a private company that's

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be looking at profits more importantly than safety.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Although a couple of crashes, they're going to lose that

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>contract very quickly. No, it's a combination somewhat like the

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Like the post Office. The post Office is not a

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>governmental agency. It's a quasi governmental agency. It's on its own,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>which is why the Post Office was not at all

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>affected by the stoppage, because it's not a governmental agency

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>onto itself. There are some of those that exist, and

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the argument is would that help completely those people who

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>are against it? And this one I didn't even know

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>until I read this story. There have been attempts to

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>try to privatize the air traffic control system and you

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>know who fought it small airports and corporations that have

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>business jets and small pilots, small plane pilots. Because the

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>argument is, if you somehow privatize it, all, all the

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>money is going to go to the big centers. And

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>as they say, the small airports are the lifeline of communities.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And if you're going to take away money from.

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>These small airports and not have air traffic controllers at

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>each little airport, it's going to be unsafe and it's

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>going to make it difficult for us to fly around

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>corporate jets. I mean, it's completely crazy. I had no

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>idea that this group of people were that powerful, that

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>much lobbyist, and then they find out there's a huge

0:05:54.360 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>number of congress people and senators who have pilot's licenses.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea. So this it's all over the

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>place in terms of which way you're going to go.

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>How do we fix the system? Well, everybody agrees we

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>need better technology. Everybody agrees that we need more air

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>traffic controllers. Is how to get there that they don't disagree? Now,

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>those people that are arguing that we have to move

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>forward and we're in a lot of trouble point to Europe.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>See I always thought Europe was at the top of

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the heat.

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>They do more flights than we do. Now there are

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>as much trouble as we are.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>According to this group of people, the air traffic control

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>system all over the world is in trouble, which you wonder,

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>how is that possible? I mean, these there's thousands of

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>people in the air, hundreds of thousands of people in

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the air at any given time. Have you seen how

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>many close calls have been lately? Now does that mean

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>there are an increased number of close calls? Or are

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they reporting more and more and more and I don't

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.799
<v Speaker 1>know the answer to that, but it's just a question.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Every time I see one of those they came close

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>or on the tarmac or on the runway. You know,

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the worst air tragedy in the history air of airlines

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and the history of aviation. You know where that was

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>or where that was? Okay, here's a little fact to

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a tenor reef, small island in the Atlantic where it's

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a refueling stop, and two seven forty sevens. The air

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>traffic controller, well in this case, the ground controller put

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>them on a direct head on crash and they hit

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>each other at five hundred miles per hour and the

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>planes exploded to full seven forty sevens full of people.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And that was an issue where the person who was

0:07:53.960 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>handling it put them put them on the wrong runway. Okay, uh,

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that's good news. Bottom line is, if you're gonna fly,

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna die.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're gonna be going away for Thanksgiving, you won't

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>be coming back. And if you're going away for the holidays,

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you might as well say goodbye now. Okay, make you

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>feel better now. One of the things about the President

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>which a lot of people are unhappy with is his

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>environmental position. He has not done a whole lot to

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>help the environment. He's boosted coal power, canceled wind farms,

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>rolled back pollution limits, and so yeah, he is being

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>blamed for the fact that the Sierra Club, which once

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>was the most powerful, like since the end all be

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>all of environmental organizations, it has lost sixty percent of

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>four million members since twenty nineteen, sixty percent down, three

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 1>rounds of employee layoffs since twenty twenty two, forty million

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>dollars projected budget deficit this year.

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Giving has disappeared in what was it?

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>During the first Trump defeat in twenty twenty against Joe Biden,

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the Sierra Club gave millions of dollars.

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Three point six million dollars.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 1>From the Sierra Club to the Biden campaign twenty twenty

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 1>four Kamala Harris zero, not a dime. The supporters have

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>fallen to less than half of what it was in

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. Expenses have outpaced donations last couple of years.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to tell you the reason for it

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>when we come back, because there is a great reason

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and what it used to be, the Sierra Club would

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>be and was the poster child it had people all

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>over the world supporting it. It was at the forefront

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of the environmental movement. Now you would think, because we

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>have an administration now that does not like the environment,

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>climate change is a hoax. As everyone knows. We know

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that alternative energy, wind farms, programs that give us anything

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that use anything other than fossil fuels on in the

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>cells wacko left wing radicals that are putting all this together.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, there's a major wind farm

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>off of New Jersey, like one of I think it's offshore,

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that's just about.

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 2>To go online. I mean they're ninety.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Five percent there at the cost of several billion dollars

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's been shut down, done finished.

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's to that extent.

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>And so you would think countering that, the environmental movement

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>would have exploded. You would think there would be people going,

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, we can't stop that. Because I believe,

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have the stats, maybe and can share

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>this that's with me, that the majority of the United States,

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>majority of the people in this country want alternative energy available,

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>especially now since it the costs are pretty close, if

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>not less expensive than traditional fuels. Now, this administration is

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>not a big fan of the environment. It believes that

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>climate change is a hoax, never changed its position, and

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that fossil fuels are exploding in terms of the money,

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the regulations, etc. And alternative fuels. Alternative energy is decreasing

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and been cut off. And as I said earlier that

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the majority of Americans think alternative fuels are a good idea.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Two thirds think alternative fuels should be available. So you

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>have an administration that's not particularly environmentally friendly.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>The Sierra Club was the poster child for the environmental movement,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>founded in eighteen ninety two by John Muir, who, by

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the way, also ran for president during the eighteen hundreds

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of mid eighteen hundreds, just want to wait?

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 2>You know that? And so it had mirror pardon did

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>you vote for him? I did not thank you for that.

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, the Sierra Club had unbelievable amounts of money,

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>had millions of supporters and members, and I all went

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.319
<v Speaker 1>into the toilet. Is because of Trump? No, it's not

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>because of Donald Trump. You would think it'd be the

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>other way. Actually, you think it would get stronger because

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of what is happening and what the administration's position is.

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>And it has gone way South. Just an interesting story

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in the world of politics. I wanted to bring to

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you because why did the Sierra Club fall apart? And

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean falling apart? Sixty percent of its members disappeared

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>since twenty nineteen. The amount of money has decreased to

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the point where expenses far out way donations. It's because

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the Sierra Club is no longer just environmental. They've picked

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>up gay rights, they've picked up civil rights, they have

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>picked up any manner of progressive positions, and environmentalists don't

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 1>want to hear it. Environmentalists care about the environment, and

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's the bottom line. And the scary part

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>as the membership is collapsing as the money has decreased,

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I said earlier during Trump's first run in against Joe

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Biden in twenty twenty, they had donated over almost four

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. This last run against Kamala Harris. Zero money

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Harris campaign.

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Zero.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>They just aren't a factor anymore. Got The history of

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>this thing was just extraordinary. Look what the Sierrah clip

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>has done. It actually was instrumental in closing all of

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the countries five hundred plus carbon spewing coal fired plants

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>which of course are now being refunded by they are

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>being reinstated by the government. They got one hundred and

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollars from Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire, using lawsuits, petitions,

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>protests to convince regulators and utilities that coal plants are

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>just too dirty, and by twenty seventeen, half of those

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 1>plants were slated to close. The game plan was clear,

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it was working, according to the President of Earth Justice

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>also took part in it. Then the president was elected,

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and fundraising jumped by two million dollars after election day

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and the number of volunteers searched. This was the first

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>this was Trump won by twenty nineteen, the club's internal

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>records four million people. And Trump then decides to roll

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>back all of these progressive victories. And so the club

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 1>leaders decided, you know what, this strategy is too small

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>for us.

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>We are going to.

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Go into basically all kinds of social progressive, progressive movements.

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And here's that. Listen, this is let me tell you

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>how crazy this is.

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>This is wackos having gone wackos. Okay, there's woke, and

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a hard time when people scream woke, woke, woke, But.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 2>This one is a winner.

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>It issued and this was last year in Equity Language

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Guide for its employees, Equity Languish. Languish Guide be cautious

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>about using the words vibrant and hardworking because they reinforced

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>racist tropes. Okay, lame duck session was out because lame

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>was offensive.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>The word Americans.

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Should be avoided because it excluded non US citizens. You

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>wonder why the Sierra Club come just collapsed. So what

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>those people that are anti woke just use this argument.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>You'll nail You'll nail it every single time. Don't use

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the word Americans by the Equity Language Guide of the

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Sierra Club because it excludes non US citizens. Vibrant reinforces

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 1>racist tropes. Hardworking and you got me. I mean, I

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know if does that come from the the old

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 1>trope about African Americans being shiftless and they're not hard working.

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know where that comes from. You would

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>think that that concept would be completely gone in this

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 1>day and age where that racist concept is just disappeared.

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they bring it up again.

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they saw they bring it up sort of

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>left handed based on their Equity Language Guide.

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Completely crazy.

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna finish up with some good news

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Orange County Fair. Have you ever been to the Orange

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>County Fair? Have you been to other fairs?

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Many times? Listen, I do too, I love them.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you go to the animal husbandry part where you

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>see where you see pigs running, because that's always very exciting,

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.119
<v Speaker 1>the pig races, not the pig races, the pigs rudding.

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>You can look that up. R U T T I NG.

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Where these little kids go, Mommy, what are they doing? Oh?

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 2>The husbandry part?

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, Now I want to finish up with a fun,

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 1>fun topic in this Orange County Fair. Now, you would

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think since it's a municipality, right, I mean it's it's

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a governmental run organization that like everybody else, you know,

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 1>they're scrambling for money. They have more money than they

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.479
<v Speaker 1>know what to do with. Maybe it's because the food

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is so expensive. You know the deep fried insert name

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of anything here, deep fried oreos, deep fried corn obviously,

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 1>corn dogs, deep fried oatmeal, that's a big one. It's

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>just totally everything is deep fried. There's deep fried butter,

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, a Cuba butter. I mean that is now

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>how weird is that?

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Anyway? Why is the why does the fair have so

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 2>much money.

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It's because people go to the fair and they now

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 1>charge a lot of money to go to the fair.

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>County fairs used to be almost nothing. It would cost

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>very little. They were a way to advertise, to market

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the products that were raised animals.

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>They were just gonna have, you know.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Pigs and heifers and cows and whatever else, milking contests

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and list I forget the pie contest.

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>They were sort of fun. Now they're sort of fun

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and they are big, big business.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>When's the last time you went to the county fair

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and bought anything to eat? It's like Disneyland prices and

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 1>used to cost five bucks to park. Huh, try parking

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>for five dollars. Now try getting in for a couple

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of dollars. Those days have gone and it's just and

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the I don't know about other fairs. I don't know

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>how what happens with la and then fares are so important,

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 1>particularly to the Midwest where that's and county fars go

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>back to the seventeen hundreds.

0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 2>This is where communities.

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Got together, this is where you had a sense of community.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Today is just big business. I happen to like the

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>county fairs.

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Eye tend. I used to go to the La County Fair.

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been a couple of years, and I go into

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the sales buildings, you know where they sell all this

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:23.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff everything see marketplace, I buy everything everything. I mean

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I have actually gone in there and went and bought

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 1>these eyeglass cleaners that I thought were so terrific, and

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.640
<v Speaker 1>it was twenty bucks. I mean, those products are pretty pricey,

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but they do so much. And I remember going in there,

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and at that time it was Marjorie. I went, she

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>went to the bathroom and I bought these these eyeglass cleaners,

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:45.959
<v Speaker 1>and I said, wow, look at these, these are terrific.

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 2>She said, Bill, you've had laser surgery. You don't wear eyeglasses.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and then swayed cleaner for your shoes because

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was kind of neat.

0:20:58.119 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Bill.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't have a pair of shoes made of Swede

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or anything made of Swede.

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter.

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you know how many of those sushi makers that

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I have bought, you know, the ones that roll up

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the bamboo that you roll up and make sushi. I've

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>got a dozen of those at home.

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I buy everything over there.

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.919
<v Speaker 1>But I'm the biggest strap and she had to remind

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you you don't have anything to put in it.

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>That's also correct.

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.199
<v Speaker 1>But you got three and they were made out of

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 1>titanium and they were really good quality. I once bought

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>at the County Fair a pressure cooker three hundred and

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars. I mean, the thing is just massive and

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful. I've ever used it, never used it. So

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>if anybody wants one, by the way, I'd be bored

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and happy to give you a three hundred dollars weight,

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>forty pounds pressure cooker.
