The family says the man had shards 64 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: of plastic, glass and metal embedded in his eye and face, 65 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and has fractures around his eyes and nose. The confrontation 66 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: happened during an ice protest near the Santa Anna Federal Building. 67 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement saying a 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: mob of about six rioters through rocks, bottles, and fireworks 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: at law enforcement officers outside the Federal building in Santa 70 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Anna in connection with what it called a highly coordinated 71 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: campaign of violence where rioters wielded shields.

Forecasters say the Santa Anas will increase 78 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: today into tomorrow, and then we'll weaken again late in 79 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: the week. Let's take a first look at your morning commute, 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: and unfortunately it's a tough start in Riverside on the 81 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: two fifteen. 82 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're starting out with a deadly crash on the 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 5: two fifteen. It's going to be the two to fifteen 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 5: southbound right there at Central. All lanes currently blocked on 85 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 5: the southbound side of the two fifteen. Traffic all the 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 5: way back from it looks like University and there's some 87 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 5: northbound slowing as well as people look over to see what's. 88 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 6: Going on there. 89 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 5: This happened in the midnight hour, so it's been there 90 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 5: for a while. We understand that most of the vehicles 91 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 5: have been towed away. Now they're just using sweepers to 92 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 5: clean up the crash scene there, so we'll keep an 93 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: eye on that situation. I expect that will be open 94 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 5: within the hour, though, again that southbound side of the 95 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 5: two fifteen at Central and the ninety one eastbound at 96 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 5: Brookhurst there in Anaheim, somebody's set in a fire. That's 97 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 5: what's going on on the side of the freeway there, 98 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 5: so watch out for that. With Southern California's most accurate 99 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 5: traffic reports, I'm Will Cole Schreiber. 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Thank you, Will, Will we'll keep you up to date 101 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: on everything going on on your morning commute, which is 102 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: busy and yesterday was extra busy too. Now that kids 103 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: are back in the worst plan for that extra time. 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: We're planning to talk to National correspondent Rory O'Neill. We 105 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: got stuff to talk about, we got NASA stuff to 106 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: talk about. We're waiting for him to call. So while 107 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: we're waiting for him to call, let's get back to 108 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 109 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: four hour newsroom. The head of Iran's judiciary is called 110 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: for fast trials and executions for people arrested during the 111 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: weeks of anti government protests across the country. The US 112 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: based to Human rights activist news agency says more than 113 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred protesters have already been killed during the uprising. 114 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: Iran held a mass funeral today for three hundred security 115 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: force members who were killed in the demonstrations, and the 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred may not be even close to what 117 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: it is. I was watching I think I was watching 118 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: Fox yesterday and they had an exiled print on and 119 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: he's saying it's more like over ten thousand, and with 120 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the connections being sparse. We really don't have accurate numbers 121 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: or confirmation on that, but it could be even worse 122 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: than what we think it is. Iran has threatened to 123 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: retaliate if the US does a military stride. President Trump 124 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: says there will be strong action if Iran hangs any 125 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: of the ten thousand protesters arrested. National security and defense 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: analyst Mit Milroy says Trump has lost a lot of options, 127 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: but they do come with risks. 128 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: So one risk would be that it doesn't actually help 129 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: the protesters do what they'd like to do, which is 130 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: the top of the regime. 131 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: He says, the regime could use that to say the 132 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: protesters are all US and Israeli backed. SpaceX is helping 133 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: Iranians get reconnected with the world. It's now providing free 134 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: internet access in Iran through its Starlink satellite service. Internet 135 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and phone service has been cut as the Iranian regime 136 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: continues its bloody crackdown on the protests. Starlink accounts in 137 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: Iran that were inactive now have connections, and subscription fees 138 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: have been waived as of yesterday. Ice raids have ramped 139 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: up in Minnesota's Twin Cities. ABC's Faith Albu Bay says 140 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the increased raids in Minneapolis and Saint Paul are getting 141 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: pushed back with lawsuits, protests, and a planned march. 142 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 7: Community activists or mobilizing people for mass demonstration here next 143 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 7: week so force Ice out.

Last week, a proposed 148 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: bill in California would make it easier for people to 149 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: sue ICE agents. 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener introduced a new bill, 151 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: which he calls the No Kings Act. 152 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 8: This bill allows you to sue federal agents when they 153 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 8: violate your constitutional right. 154 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: He says the deadly shooting in Minneapolis by ICE agents 155 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: didn't inspire his bill, but it makes it much more timely. 156 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 8: Because in the democracy, we don't have kings. We have laws, 157 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 8: and no one is above the law. 158 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: The No Kings Act is now in committee and must 159 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: be approved before moving forward to the full state legislature. 160 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: Jason Padonia KFI News. 161 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: A guy who works at a Ford factory in Michigan 162 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: has been suspended for heckling President Trump during his visit. 163 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 9: The President was touring Ford's River Rouge Complex in Dearborn 164 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 9: when forty year old TJ. Sibula yelled out that Trump 165 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 9: was a pedophile protector. A viral video of the incident 166 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 9: shows Trump extending his middle finger after hearing the comment. 167 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 9: Sabula says he has since been suspended from his job 168 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 9: because of the outburst, but that he has no regrets 169 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 9: that he believes he's being targeted for political retribution.

It's a time when people are starting 175 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: to feel sad due to broken New Year's resolutions, the 176 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 4: after Christmas, financial stress, and bad weather. The theory came 177 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 4: from a marketing campaign developed by a UK psychologist for 178 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: a travel company twenty five years ago. Many mental health 179 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 4: experts say that although it can feel very real, it's 180 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 4: not actually based on any clinical data. However, there is 181 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: a new order song that still slaps. 182 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: Mark. 183 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: Thank you, KFI News. 184 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: Thanks ver Honor.

Yeah, that's 193 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: right after you hit a certain age, you get to 194 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: celebrate your birthday for a whole month. 195 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 5: And we have the same birthday month. Here's your birthday 196 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 5: twenty second. 197 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're a cusp kid. 198 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: I'm a Cusp kid. So that's not a blue week 199 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 5: at all for me. 200 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So Rory o'neiogat to eye tract or something, We're 201 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna have words. Can't Fight's National correspondent was we were 202 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: planning to talk to him today because NASA is rolling 203 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: out its massive SLS rocket ahead of a February moon mission. 204 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: So I love all things space, so that's why we 205 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: were really hoping to talk to him today. But we 206 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: don't get to, so we'll try to reset it up 207 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: because I would love to get some more information about that, 208 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: because I think this one's uncrude. But when are they 209 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: going to start sending people to the moon again? I'm 210 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: very interested in that. And then also the other thing 211 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about is that the NASA astronauts 212 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: and a cosmonaut and a Japanese astronaut I believe are 213 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: head at home early. Four of them are coming home 214 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: about a month early. They were scheduled to come back 215 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: in late February, but they got to come back early 216 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: because somebody has a medical condition. And so I was 217 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: just talking with a friend about this because she was like, 218 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: well they's and I said, well, yeah, they're sick, but 219 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: are they sick like they can't have a cold. And 220 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: this is pure speculation on my part. But play with 221 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: me on this and maybe if you have any ideas, 222 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: you can weigh in on the talkback. I'd love to 223 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: hear it. But I don't think it's a cold. I 224 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: don't think it's like a stomach flu or diarrhea or 225 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: anything like that, because all of that stuff is contagious, right, 226 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: and you're in that atmosphere with all of that recycled air, 227 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: and if you were in if you were contagious, they'd 228 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: probably want to get you back quicker, because otherwise they've 229 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: all been sitting on the space station for like a 230 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: week now with this condition, and they're saying it's not 231 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: an emergency condition and that they need to get the 232 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: person who they haven't identified, they need to get them 233 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: back to be treated on Earth. And then I'm like, well, 234 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: maybe somebody broke an arm or something. And I'm like, well, probably, 235 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: how would you do that in weightlessness? So if you 236 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: don't have gravity to come to have your arm come 237 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: crashing down on you or something like that. 238 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 5: So although there was apparently video just in the last 239 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 5: couple of days of the entire crew floating around and 240 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 5: none of them looked obviously. 241 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: They all look okay. So I'm hoping that it's not 242 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: some sort of a diagnosis of something like the Big 243 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: Sea or something like that. Who knows what it is. 244 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: But again, I don't think it's a cold. I don't 245 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: think it's a flu. I don't think it's broken bones. 246 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: And there again, it's not an emergency. So the plan 247 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: is they're undocking today and the four of them are 248 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,359 Speaker 1: coming home and then they're splashing down or are scheduled 249 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: to splash down off the coast of California early tomorrow morning. 250 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: The other thing is if they had a nasty cold, 251 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: would they be able to sit in that capsule once 252 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: they unduck, because they're in the capsule for like more 253 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: than twelve hours, I believe. Yeah, we were talking at 254 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: Colonel Hag about it and they just kind of float 255 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: around the Earth for a while. So again, I don't 256 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: think it's a contagious sickness. 257 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 5: And apparently if you're up after midnight you might and 258 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 5: the sky's super clear, you might be able to actually 259 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 5: see the capsule. 260 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 4: I heard a report that. 261 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: You get because on re entry it's burnt flight. 262 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: Sonic boom oo, which would be really cool. 263 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you know, I was like, I will 264 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: not be awake, but if you are and you see it, 265 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: we'd love to hear about that as well. Like I mentioned, 266 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: we'd always love to hear back from you on the 267 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: talkback if you have any theories on what's going on 268 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: with those astronauts. But hopefully they'll have a safe trip home. 269 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: Relatives of the man shot and killed by an off 270 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: duty ice agent on New Year's Eve. Are pushing to 271 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: get the agent charged with a crime. They met with 272 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: the LA Police Commissioned yesterday asking for the agent to 273 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: be identified and arrested. The family admits Keith Porter was 274 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: firing a weapon into the air on New Year's Eve 275 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: before he was shot, but says he was not an 276 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: active shooter. He was just celebrating the new year. Home 277 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: insurance rates are going up for CSAA and Mercury insurance 278 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: policyholders in California. Filings with the state Department of Insurance 279 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: show CSAA, which serves mostly northern and central California, wants 280 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: to raise rates seven percent starting more fifteenth. Mercury policy 281 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: holders will see their rates go up more than eight 282 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: percent starting in July. Actor Kiefer Sutherland is facing charges 283 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: of threatening a ride share driver. The LAPD says the 284 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: twenty four hour Star or I guess it's not twenty 285 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: four hours, just twenty four Star, was arrested early Monday 286 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: morning in Hollywood.

Rich Demiro, Good morning, Rich. 290 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 6: Good morning to you Amy. 291 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so we were just mentioning that, you know, sometimes 292 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: you look at food and you go, well, that looks good. 293 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's healthy, and now there's an app 294 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: for that. 295 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 8: You know. 296 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 6: This all started when I was in Trader Joe's and 297 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 6: I saw this woman scanning every product with her phone 298 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 6: and I was like, what are you doing And she goes, oh, 299 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 6: I'm using this app to like see if these things 300 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: are healthy, and I said, hmm, interesting. So I did 301 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 6: some research ch found there's a whole bunch of apps 302 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 6: out there, like Yuka that's one of them, that's probably 303 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 6: the biggest. There's another one called Bobby Approved, which you 304 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 6: might have heard of how you Smell Yucas y u Ka, 305 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 6: you know, just like it sounds, but yeah, okay, you 306 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 6: could download that. But the one that I've been testing 307 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 6: and I like, and I interviewed one of the co founders, 308 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 6: and I've kind of become slightly obsessed with this company 309 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 6: is called Zoe Zoe Health Zoe, and their whole thing 310 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 6: is they're not necessarily looking for additives in your food 311 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 6: and you know, colors and dyes. They're looking for you 312 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 6: to eat better foods, like make better choices, and so 313 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: you can scan the food with their app. It works 314 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 6: on both barcodes, but it also works on something like 315 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 6: a salad. They'll use AI to figure out the ingredients 316 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 6: and it will give you a rating and it'll say, hey, 317 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 6: you can have this, but don't eat it every day. 318 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 6: You can have this, but eat it every day. And 319 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 6: their whole point is to get you to eat more plants. 320 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 6: They also have a supplement that I've tried and I 321 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 6: kind of like that as well. You drizzle to put 322 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 6: it on your food. And then they also have a 323 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 6: podcast they also really have started listening to and like 324 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 6: so they're doing some really cool things and I think 325 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 6: it's all kind of in that New Year realm of 326 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 6: like just making better choices. 327 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: Okay, and look, I can start for free. I'm downloading 328 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: the app as we speak. 329 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 6: The onboarding is a little bit much, if you ask me, 330 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 6: I need to tell them that, because they make you 331 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 6: go through like a lot of like a whole lesson 332 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 6: before you can scan any things. I'm like, come on, 333 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 6: we can cut that in half. 334 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: Okay, So I won't do that right now, I'll do 335 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: that after after wake. 336 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 6: Up well after your ship. 337 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so that's that's cool though. I like that idea 338 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: because I remember I looking at like wings. They look 339 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: harmless enough, but then when you like dig into what 340 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: they are, I mean, they're really high in fat and 341 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: they're really you know, not great for you. They're delicious. 342 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, well that's that's the thing. If it's delicious, 343 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 6: probably not the best for you.

If you 351 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 6: don't check in for two days in a row, the 352 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 6: Apple automatically email or alert an emergency contact of your choice. 353 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 6: It's gone viral because a lot of young people in 354 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 6: China choose to live alone get married later, and of 355 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 6: course there's a lot of elderly people that are living 356 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 6: by themselves without family. And the people who created this 357 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 6: app is actually told the Financial Times the name you know, yes, 358 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 6: it is striking. It gets your attention, but it's all 359 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 6: for a reason. It serves as a reminder for us 360 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 6: to cherish the present, which I do think is a 361 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 6: good message. At the end of the day, I think. 362 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: It's a good message too. But I questioned the name. 363 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: You know, there's funny because we were just talking about 364 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: this yesterday.

There's certain people that we go 370 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: back and forth that we did it. And she said, 371 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: if I don't get wordle and qirdal from mom, I 372 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: know something's off. And so she calls her. 373 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 6: Got's see, that's that's smart. I've never heard of quirdle. 374 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 6: But is that like a new wordle. 375 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: Quirdle is like wordle, but you get four grids and 376 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: you have to serve you have to solve four words 377 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: and you get ten chances. 378 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 6: To do it.

But and again, like Wordle, 381 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: you can only play it once a day, so it's great. 382 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 6: Oh that's nice. I like that, and you're one and done. 383 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, except now I do like ten different puzzles, so 384 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: I still can do it. 385 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 6: Okay, whatever I can get around that. 386 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about Nissan.

I mean, like, how do you 512 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: know what to watch and what might be better to 513 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: just skip? Well, hopefully I can help you. I take 514 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: recommendations from my friends, and I take recommendations from you. 515 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: So if you have a muscie, let me know. And 516 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: here's one that it's actually a season two on Netflix. 517 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: It's called A Man on the Inside stars Ted Danson, 518 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: and who doesn't love Ted Danson? 519 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 6: Yeah? 520 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: Okay, So this season, season two, he's joined by his wife, 521 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: Mary stein Bergin, and she plays a new love interest, 522 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: which comes like a year after he lost his wife, 523 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: which happened in season one, and he basically shut himself 524 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: off from life. He was just miserable because he'd been 525 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: with his wife forever and he was very sad when 526 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: he lost her, obviously. So in the first season, he's 527 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do with himself now 528 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: that he's alone. So he answers a want dad, and 529 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 1: he goes to work for a private investigator and he 530 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: went undercover at a senior living community. So this is 531 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: season one, and I will tell you that I thought 532 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: the show was almost perfect. It was funny, it was charming, 533 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: it was heartbreaking, it was compelling. It just made you smile, 534 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: and it shows the upside and the downside of growing 535 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: old gracefully and with joy. It was just really a 536 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: great watch. So how do you follow that up? Well, 537 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: it can't be in a senior living community again, because 538 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: you know that was season one. So this year he 539 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: goes under cover on a college campus to try to 540 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: find a thief. I'm a little bit sad to say that. 541 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: I think it comes up a little bit short. So 542 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: Ted Danson's great, Mary Stein Virgin fantastic. The supporting cast 543 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: members are still good, but I would say the storyline 544 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: just isn't as strong. But it does get better toward 545 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: the end of the season, so you might watch it 546 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: and go em, but hang in there. It does get better. 547 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: So I would say season two is good. It's a 548 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: fun series, but it doesn't quite live up to season one. 549 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen the show, go watch season 550 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: one of A Man on the Inside. It is fabulous. 551 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: I think you'll love it. All of Season two is 552 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: now out. If you are in the mood for a binge, 553 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: it is still a good watch, but not quite as good. 554 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: And for this one, I know Hollywood hates to walk 555 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: away when something's working. I know because they can make 556 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: more money on it. Thinks it might have legs, But 557 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 1: sometimes isn't it better just to walk away? That's what 558 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. But again, it wasn't horrific. It just 559 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: wasn't as good as season one. It's called A Man 560 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: on the Inside. Two seasons on Netflix. Like I said, 561 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: Season one fabulous, Season two. It's pretty good time to 562 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: get in your business, as we do every weekday at 563 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: five point forty with Bloomberg's Denise Pelgreney. Good morning, Denise 564 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: thee good morning. Just so much to talk about. I know, 565 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about Netflix, because you know it's Hollywood and 566 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: it's a big deal here. Netflix look into maybe make 567 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: their offer that's already been accepted a little sweeter. Bloomberg 568 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: Scoop sources tell us Netflix is considering amending its offer 569 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Amy to make it all cash. It's working on revised 570 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: terms for the Warner brother Discovery acquisition. It has discussed 571 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: making an all cash offer for the company's studios and 572 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: streaming businesses. The changes they're really designed to expedite a 573 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: sale that could take months to close, and as you know, 574 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: has faced all the opposition from politicians and from rifle 575 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: bitter paramount sky Dance as well, So that's why they're 576 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: thinking about all cash. Apparently they have pretty deep pockets. 577 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: According to Bloomberg Intelligence, Netflix does have the financial capacity 578 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: to borrow more and still maintain its robust credit ratings. 579 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: So that's important for the company as it goes through. 580 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: This kind of interesting because it's still six billion dollars 581 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: less than what paramounts is offered for it. But and 582 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: they did all cash too, didn't they. 583 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, but it's not app Yeah, it's a different 584 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 11: different things and yeah, all right. 585 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: Well we will see how that all plays out. Uh. 586 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: I know, we talked about this before, but now Sex 587 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: has made it official. 588 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, they filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection. This is 589 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 11: the owner of Sex and Neiman Marcus. They do have financing, 590 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 11: one point seventy five billion in financing, and they expect 591 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 11: to honor all customer programs, continue employee payroll and benefits 592 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 11: during this process. And you know, you can infer from 593 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 11: that that they're going to be staying open. You know, 594 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 11: individual stores they could close in cost cutting, but the 595 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 11: intention is to. 596 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Keep the whole ball rolling. Okay, Apparently people aren't drinking 597 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: as much. 598 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, Uh, this is really interesting. Gallop Pole shows the 599 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 11: lowest share of alcohol consuming adults in its ninety year history. 600 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 11: There are other reports indicating this, but as you know, 601 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 11: people are still drinking. It's just that their habits are changing. 602 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 11: Some are you know, drinking at home to save money. 603 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 11: And there's also this growing trend toward moderation. This is 604 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 11: really what I wanted to talk about. Some establishments are 605 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 11: offering low alcohol options, and apparently something called zebra striping 606 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 11: is getting very popular. That's when people alternate between an 607 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 11: alcoholic beverage and a non alcoholic beverage, you know. 608 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: One black, one white, one black, one white as they. 609 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 11: Go through their day. 610 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: So we used to call that drinking water between drinks. 611 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 11: But now they enhance it with THHC gummies and places 612 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 11: where it's legal, so they still get their buzz on, 613 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 11: but they're doing it, you know, in a little more 614 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 11: studied intentional. 615 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: Okay, zebras, that's interesting.

Govinor Newsom says he 667 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: will stop the proposed wealth tax in California. The tax 668 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: would be a one time five percent tax on billionaires, 669 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: which has prompted some to move out of the state. 670 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom says the proposals already hurt this date because 671 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: billionaires are leaving, and he says he's committed to defeating it. 672 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: Gusty Santa Ana win is still blowing through the Southland. 673 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: Wind advisories have been extended until two pm now in 674 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: effect for the Malibu Coast, Santa Clarita Valley, Calabasas, the 675 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Western Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, and the western San 676 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: Gabriel Mountains.

Only twenty 679 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,439 Speaker 12: seven percent of people identifying the country as Republican, only 680 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 12: twenty seven percent identifies Democrat. The numbers are almost identical, 681 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 12: which makes it tough to try to run a campaign. 682 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 4: Right. 683 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 12: It's somewhere in the middle. According to Gallup, in a 684 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 12: survey of thirteen thousand people, a record high forty five 685 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 12: percent of adults say they are political independents this year. 686 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 12: That's up from forty three percent just a few years ago, 687 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 12: the highest ever. 688 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, So here's my question. Then what okay, 689 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: So do they say why they're independent, Like they just 690 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: don't like one of the other parties, or they have 691 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: like their own full on agenda of what they basically 692 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: buy into. 693 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 12: I think they're turned off by, you know, the Gallop 694 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 12: doesn't go into that specifically, but it seems as though 695 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 12: they're sort of turned off by this giant divide between 696 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 12: the two parties they're watching. And by the way, the 697 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 12: same survey ask people do you consider yourself very liberal, 698 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 12: very conservative, or somewhere in the middle, And most people 699 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 12: do consider themselves moderate, you know, And so if you're 700 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 12: sitting there in the middle and watching on TV as 701 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 12: the two sides on either extent are fighting it out. 702 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 12: You can't help but be turned off a bit. 703 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do agree with that that most probably fall 704 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: in the middle. It's the ones with the really big 705 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: mouths though, that are the loud ones, and they're the 706 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: ones on the extreme and they're screaming the loudest, and 707 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: so we're kind of forced to listen to them. 708 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 12: Sure, right, well, and party affiliation and liberal conservative, it 709 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 12: really doesn't matter, for it doesn't count for anything unless 710 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 12: people get out and vote right and that big independent group. 711 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 12: So what do those people do? The forty five percent 712 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 12: of Americans who don't identify with either party when they 713 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 12: walk into the voting booth in a partisan election, some 714 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 12: of them don't make their decision until the last minute. 715 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 12: And that's where the Gallup question about leaning comes in. So, okay, 716 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 12: you're an independent, but which way do you lean when 717 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 12: you go into the voting booth? And this is a 718 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 12: telling figure because in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, those independents 719 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 12: were leaning Republican. We saw what happen there. Now in 720 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 12: twenty twenty five, they're leaning Democrat. In terms of those 721 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 12: independents and what they might do at the midterm. But 722 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 12: I tell you, the smart candidates right now may go 723 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 12: ahead and just drop the party affiliation at least from 724 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 12: their campaign ads and run on their ideology to try 725 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 12: to attract some of those independents. 726 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask you, because with 727 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: a number that huge still I don't know the percentage, 728 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: but I would say the vast majority of people who 729 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: are in office in office either identify as Republican or Democrats. 730 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, if forty five percent say they're independence, why 731 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: aren't more independents running, Why don't we have more lawmakers 732 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: that are independents. 733 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 12: Well that may be the case in the future, but 734 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 12: I mean, there's a difference between running as an independent, 735 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 12: you know, on that label on the ballot, right, and 736 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 12: being an independent voter, because even an independent voter might 737 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 12: not vote for the independent candidate. They sort of make 738 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 12: up their minds. They're choosing from the whole gamut. 739 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: Okay, so here's the big question you ready. We got 740 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: Elephants are Republicans, Donkeys are Democrats? 741 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 12: Democrats? 742 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 4: Right? 743 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: What is the animal of the independent? 744 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 12: I don't know, but the color is probably purple somewhere. 745 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 12: That's what I was going to ask you too, you 746 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 12: can Blues Democrat. 747 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: Go with the Yeah, what's the independent color? Because the 748 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: election map would certainly look a lot different, Well. 749 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 12: It would wouldn't It'd be a lot harder to figure out, 750 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 12: for one thing. Okay, donkeys, elephants, what goes in the middle. 751 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: Monkey, I'm an independent monkey. I like it all right. 752 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the info. 753 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: All right, see you talk to you soon.
