Ninety thousand square feet? This is 24 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: the size of a small Walmart. Massive, massive, whoo. All right, 25 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 3: all right, that'll be interesting. 26 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,279 Speaker 2: You heard. 27 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: Oh I'm Chris By the way, Nice to see you. 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: You heard Mark talking about the federal agents going into 29 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 3: San Francisco and how the governor says this is straight 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: out of an authoritarian handbook. I'm with you, Mark, though 31 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: he should have called it a playbook. 32 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 5: Handbook, playbook six and one, half a dozen of the 33 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 5: other get off my back man. 34 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: Yeah no, it's not you. 35 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: It's what he said. Oh okay, yeah, no, no, no, I 36 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: think you got it right. I think it should have 37 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: been a playbook. Yeah. So News Nation was actually talking 38 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 3: about that a lot of. 39 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 4: Work has been done, but still more work to be 40 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 4: done here in San Francisco. While the violent crime rate 41 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 4: is actually lower than say Los Angeles or New York City. 42 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: Sh they're also going into New York. 43 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 4: It is tracking higher than Chicago, which of course is 44 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 4: another city that we've seen President Trump cracking down on crime. 45 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: So when it comes to crime in major cities across 46 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 4: the United States, Memphis is tracking as number one. San 47 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 4: France Cisco currently ranks twenty six for violent crime, but 48 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 4: they are thirteenth in the United States when it comes 49 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: to property crime. 50 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so wait, oh, we're not worried about the violent criminals. 51 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 3: We're worried about people tagging things and breaking into your car. Okay, cool, 52 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: sending the guard. 53 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: Several incidents of violent crime have been caught on camera 54 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: or reported out of San Francisco in recent days, One 55 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 4: where a thirty one year old woman was actually buying 56 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 4: food at a local fast food diner. She was beat 57 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: and kicked repeatedly by a stranger who demanded her keys. 58 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: The DA's office saying that the young woman was left 59 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 4: severely beaten, with blood pouring out of her eye and 60 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: a fractured orbital bone. 61 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: Horrible story, don't get me wrong, does not belong. But 62 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: if they're twenty sixth in violent crimes, you had to 63 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: kind of cherry pick that one, didn't. 64 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: You, because you could go to other cities that. 65 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: Are much higher in violent crimes and you wouldn't have 66 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: to work so hard to find a victim that you go, oh, 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: here's our poster child for a violent crime. 68 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: Now, this seems very random and horrible. Terrible has to stop. 69 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: Definitely, not so sure sending in the National Guard is 70 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: the best way to do that, because that's escalating. It's 71 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: going to escalate, or you're gonna have people that are 72 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: dressed up like my little pony that are going to 73 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 3: go stand in front of the National Guard and that's 74 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: just gonna be embarrassing for everybody. 75 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 4: Now, we did have the opportunity to sit down with 76 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, who tells us she's 77 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 4: nervous about how the community might react to the federal 78 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: resources being responding here, saying she is worried protests will 79 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: escalate into violence. Now she is calling the planned deployment unnecessary. 80 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: She is asking the president to let state officials handle 81 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: their own issues. 82 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: Take there, okay, So let the states take care of themselves. 83 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: This is where the This is where they left and 84 00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: the right they keep swapping positions. So the LAFT says, 85 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: wait a minute, if there's a disaster, we need to 86 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: have federal help. That's FEMA, right, And the Republicans say no, no, Now, 87 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: states can take care of themselves. We don't need to 88 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: be taking money from Minnesota to help pay for wildfires 89 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: in California. 90 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: Right, That's that's the position. But then when it comes 91 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: to the crime. 92 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: You get the left that says, hey, let us enforce 93 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: our own laws, and then you get the president that 94 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: says er strong. 95 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: Man, yeah, yeah, we're just swapping spots. 96 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, forty billion dollars to Argentina to make sure that 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: their farmers are. 98 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: Making beef jerkey, sweet good stuff. 99 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: All the way around the Ninth Circuit Courtfield Wecall the 100 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: Ninth Circuit Court are the ones that said it's probably 101 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: okay to send troops. 102 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: Seting troops is pretty cool. It seems like a good idea. 103 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: They're ruling. 104 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 3: Really had more to do with how much latitude the 105 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 3: president had in determining whether or not. 106 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: There was. 107 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: This not invasion but to violent crime going on. So 108 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: how do you define those things? And because they're not 109 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: quickly and easily defined in the law books, the court said, look, 110 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 3: he's got wide latitude, wide discretion, which is really interesting. 111 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: According to one. 112 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: Of the judges on the Ninth Circuit Court who's now 113 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: touring La says, I guess the question is why is 114 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: a couple of hundred people engaging in disorderly conduct and 115 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: throwing things at a building over the course of two 116 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: days comparable to comparable severity to a rebellion. Now that's 117 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: coming from Eric Miller, who was appointed by Trump. He 118 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: said violence is used to thwart law enforcement of federal 119 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: law all the time. This happens every day. So is 120 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: that rebellion? And what the Ninth Circuit Court found in 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: the past was rebellion is kind of whatever the President 122 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: says it is. So now the Ninth Circuit Court is 123 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: in la and they're walking walking around taking a look 124 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: at things, probably probably swinging down by Disneyland, because when 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: you know, when you're in southern California, you do as 126 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 3: we do. And so now they're going, not so sure, 127 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: that's a that's a such a great idea. So now 128 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: the renewed use of federal agents and the military adjacent 129 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: tactics they're calling it like in San Francisco. 130 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: Also makes it sound like what they were what they 131 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: were weighing. 132 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: To begin with, about oh what is rebellion? What is 133 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: not rebellion? What are the limitations on calling something a rebellion? 134 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: That was more of an exercise of you know, because 135 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: we had what people burning, weaymos, But it wasn't like 136 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: we had you know, tear gas and things like that. 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 2: In the street. 138 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: Oh look what's going on in Chicago. Oh look what 139 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: people are concerned with might happen in San Francisco. So 140 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: now they go, oh, you know, what. This was a 141 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: lot easier when we pretended like we were in a 142 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: classroom and not actually on the street. 143 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: One of the issues that politicians. 144 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: Governments, judges, all of them have is that they operate 145 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: in a bubble, total bubble. It's it's like when I 146 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: was in college. It's like a political science class and 147 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: many political science classes, and if you look at governmental 148 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: systems on paper, it's a whole lot different. I've always 149 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: said that communism is the ideal governmental system on paper. 150 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: In practice, it is the worst governmental system because we're 151 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: humans and we screw things up. We try to take 152 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: advantage of other people. We try to we try to 153 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: game the system. It's how people are. And so when 154 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: you've got judges that are trying to look at, oh, 155 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: should a president have wide latitude and determining what is 156 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: a rebellion in order to send in troops to American cities, 157 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: they go, oh, well, that's a very interesting question. 158 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked. That's them sucking on their curvy pipes. Oh, 159 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: very interesting. 160 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: And then they get that weird like yellowing on their 161 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 3: gray mustaches and beards. 162 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: One day, one day, I hope to have that. 163 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 3: Anyway, then all of a sudden, they go, oh, you 164 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: know what, in practice, our ruling is kind of crap. 165 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 3: And so now the Ninth Circuit Court is going, ooh, 166 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: maybe this is not such a great idea. So what 167 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: can they do about it? I mean, they put the 168 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: ruling in right, what can they do about it? They 169 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 3: could strike down the deployment. They could rule that the 170 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: deployment that we had in twenty eighteen along the border 171 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: violated the Posse Combatatis Act, which is basically, you can't 172 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: deploy military forces in US cities inside the US borders. 173 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: And yet lo and behold, it's what we saw happen 174 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: here with the marine showing up. They could come back 175 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: and go, oh, you know what, we have reviewed it 176 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: and and we are going to uphold our original ruling. 177 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: Or they could come back and they could go, oh, 178 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: you know what, we we we're gonna we're gonna reconsider 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: our decision on one aspect, but not on the other 180 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: aspect because we don't like the politics of it, we 181 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: don't like the way it looks. 182 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: But also the law is. 183 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: Written to give wide latitude, so they can have a 184 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: very narrow ruling. That's what the Ninth Circuit Court could 185 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: end up doing in the meantime, I guess grab your 186 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: my little pony costumes and. 187 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 2: Go find yourself a guardsman.

It is going to be dery this winter, 203 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: which means oh more fires Grave. 204 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 2: I'm so excited about that. I'm not. I'm not at all. 205 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: That's that's dry humor. 206 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: ABC seven had the story about what the National Weather Service, saying, 207 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: oh are. 208 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: We funding the National Weather Service? What do they even know? 209 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 6: It's no secret that your trip to the supermarket is 210 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 6: costing more. 211 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 3: No, that's the wrong one. Play the right, play the 212 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: right cut. Who's in charge of this crap? Unbelievable. It's 213 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: hard to get a good help around here. 214 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 6: It was on me after last winter's historic wildfires. La 215 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 6: Nina and dry weather are not the words we want 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 6: to hear, no, but it's what we can expect heading 217 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 6: into this winter. 218 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: I don't like her attitude. 219 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 7: We don't want a really strong La Nina, especially for 220 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 7: you all going into this season. That combo factors would 221 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 7: not be great. But that is what everybody is looking 222 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 7: at for the ENSO projection from December through February twenty 223 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 7: twenty six. We anticipate La Nina conditions which would again 224 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 7: put you on the drier side, even though California's kind 225 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 7: of battleground. 226 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: But I have good news when it comes to La Nina. 227 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: Okay, I have good news though, because three I Atlas 228 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: the alien invasion. They figure they're gonna probably wipe us 229 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: out right around the New year, so we won't even 230 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: worry about this stuff. I mean, you got to look 231 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: on the bright side of the news stories. 232 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 6: Our Pacific ocean temperatures are colder during La Nina, and 233 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 6: the jet stream is pushed northward, meanings stormier and colder 234 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 6: weather for the north yeah, and warmer and drier weather 235 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 6: for the south. 236 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 237 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: And I think with with global warming and warmer warming 238 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: ocean temperatures, that means the jet stream pushes even further north. 239 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: So what used to be wet weather in the Pacific 240 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: Northwest actually becomes wet weather in Canada even further. 241 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 7: And for southern California, a typical La Nina is drier 242 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 7: the El Ninos, can you know, bring the lows a 243 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 7: little bit farther south and bring a little bit more rain, 244 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 7: But the law Ninias tend to keep that rain parked 245 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 7: up in the Pacific Northwest or right along the state 246 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 7: line of Oregon. In California. 247 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: Hey, didn't we wasn't it Lenina last year? Hey on 248 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: calif I'm gonna ban this for you, Lamnia history. Didn't 249 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: we have like lninias when we got a whole bunch 250 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: of a bunch of nasty weather. At some point I 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 3: thought we had wet weather one year with the with 252 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: Le Nina, which was atypical. They were saying, let me 253 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: see now, hmmm, who put this in order? I'm looking 254 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: at climate dot got Oh my gosh, can we reopen 255 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: the government? 256 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: Good lord? 257 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 3: They go nineteen seventy three, nineteen eighty eight, nineteen seventy five, 258 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, nineteen forty nine. This is not 259 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: in order, this is terrible, good lord. Actually, there have 260 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: been a number of years that it's been wetter with Linina. 261 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: Now they say typically it's heavier, but there have been 262 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: a number of years that it's actually been wetter. So 263 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: basically they don't know. 264 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 7: Squad that's who gets the most moisture in La Nina, 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 7: and then the southwest gets abnormally dry. 266 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 6: And while we just had a rare storm with a 267 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 6: lot of rain last week, we won't expect to see 268 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 6: many more of those in the coming months. 269 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 7: I know the state of California since the beginning of 270 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 7: the year has more than doubled. 271 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 8: Your severe drought. 272 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 7: So kind of that third level of drought, which is big, 273 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 7: and you never forecast more rain in drought, especially with 274 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 7: Ala Nina in place. 275 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: Oh so basically she's just hedging. Oh you never. It's 276 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: like listening to a gambler, isn't it. 277 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: You listen to a gambler and you go, well, you know, 278 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: you never bet on the Chargers when they're traveling to 279 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: the East coast after a loss. 280 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Okay, what you're saying. 281 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: Well, if you take a look historically their record is 282 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: I have a more difficult time winning the next game, 283 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: especially if they're traveling to the east. Oh okay, but 284 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: do they sometimes yes? So really it's a crapshoot. Yes, 285 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: they're just playing the odds. So the odds are it's 286 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: gonna be drier. But as I just pointed out, a 287 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: simple being search will show you that not every linina 288 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: makes it drier. In California, we absolutely could have wetter weather. 289 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: And if that happens, get ready for people in media 290 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: myself included, to complain about mudflides. Boy, when it comes 291 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: to weather, it's just we just love to complain. All 292 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: of us turn into our grandfathers whenever we talk about weather. Well, 293 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: it's going to be measurable. Help me in I'm just 294 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: like that. So government's been shut down for three weeks. 295 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: We've got the National Weather Service making crap up because 296 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: they're not getting paid. 297 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: And what do they care. 298 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: Paychecks are starting to vanish, national parks are closed. Congress 299 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: is a little slap fight over healthcare. 300 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: But there is a. 301 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: Date that is coming up that could break the stalemate. 302 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: You're gonna find out what that is next time, Chris Meryl. 303 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 304 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: We will talk about the eggflation is a number of 305 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 3: your favorite restaurants are probably gonna close here very shortly 306 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: because you can't afford him anymore. 307 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: That is coming up after marks eight o'clock news. 308 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: First, the government shutdown is starting to catch more attention. 309 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 3: I know, if you are a news junkie, then you've 310 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: been following the government shutdown very closely. However, most of 311 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: America is going to wait until they notice something. 312 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: That's the reality of it. 313 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: A lot of people don't pay close attention to the 314 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: ins and outs of what happens in Washington. 315 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: I have a test for this because I have a 316 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: friend of mine. 317 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 3: That's he's deep into the news world, and so he says, oh, 318 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: he says, he loves to ask me what percentage of 319 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: people question? He said, what percentage of people do you 320 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: think know about the government shutdown? And I said, I 321 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: think it's a pretty substantial number of people have heard 322 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 3: that the government is shutting down, but they don't know 323 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: what that means. 324 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: And he said, he said, I'm sorry, I distracted. 325 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: Got a note here, he said, he said, Oh, no, 326 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: nobody knows. 327 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: They go, No, they know, they know. But I always 328 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: I have this mother in law test. 329 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 3: My mother in law is somebody turns the TV on 330 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: and casually pays attention to things. She's not super into 331 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: the news, but she likes to keep up on what's happening. 332 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 3: She wants to be she wants to be connected. She 333 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: just doesn't want to be inundated, all right. And I 334 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 3: think a lot of people are that way when it 335 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 3: comes to the government shutdown. I think a number of 336 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 3: people know that the government is shut down, or they've 337 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: heard rumblings that that the TSA workers are maybe not 338 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: being paid, or they're they're calling in sick, or they 339 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: hear about the delays of the airport, something of that sort, 340 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 3: or are they here that national parks are closed, but 341 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: they're not really closed because basically the park rangers open 342 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: the gates and drive away, right, So they're not really closed. 343 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 3: Just nobody's picking up the trash. Does that stop people 344 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 3: from throwing trash all over the place? No, of course not, 345 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: because why would we clean up after ourselves. 346 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 347 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 3: Still, I think more and more people are gonna start 348 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: paying attention because it's gonna start having it's gonna start 349 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: having a ripple effect, whether it's people who are flying 350 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: and I got a flight coming up on Saturday, I 351 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 3: hope to god it goes off without a hitch. 352 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: In fact, didn't we take a survey here? Mark? Was 353 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: it I was talking to you? 354 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: Wasn't I that we were talking about the how long 355 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: we were predicting how long it was gonna last. 356 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what you're the government shutdown? 357 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: Didn't Didn't we have like a prediction of how long 358 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 3: it was gonna last? 359 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: Oh? 360 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: I don't think we ever came around to a number. 361 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: I think we were all taking making predictions anyway. I 362 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: thought it was to be like nineteen days. I was wrong. 363 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 5: I think it's gonna last until we're all living in 364 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 5: like a road warrior future and fighting fighting over cans 365 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 5: of dog food. 366 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: Total dystopia. Then, yeah, oh that sounds fun. 367 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, look, as long as the politicians maintain their 368 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 3: power and keep getting donations from those of us who 369 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: are fighting over dog food that all's fine in their world. 370 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna start seeing the ripple effect. I 371 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: think what's gonna start happening is neighbors are going to 372 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: start being affected. Our friends are gonna start being affected. 373 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: They're gonna start talking to us, and I think that 374 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 3: is going to have an impact. For instance, CBSLA was 375 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: doing a story about this very kindly little old lady 376 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: in Orange County. 377 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: And this is from the food delivery place. 378 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 8: The mayor of Laguna Woods, like many of her neighbors 379 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 8: who live on fixed incomes, has a new worry as 380 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 8: the federal government shutdown drives on. Officials say tens of 381 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 8: thousands of low income people in Orange County, like Sherry Horn, 382 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 8: may not be getting their next cowfresh nutritional food benefit. 383 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: I'm very concerned. 384 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 8: There's a lot of people here that depend on that. Horn, 385 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 8: who cares for her husband with disabilities, receives two hundred 386 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 8: and twenty dollars on her EBT card the first week 387 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 8: of each month to buy groceries. 388 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: She's the mayor. 389 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 8: I get vegetables, rice, fresh fruit, fresh lettuce, soy neat. 390 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: Can't afford that anymore, especially you're soy what. 391 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 3: HIMBI now can't afford those fresh vegetables Prices are going 392 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: through the roof. 393 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 8: Orange County leaders say if the government isn't funded by Thursday, 394 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 8: there will be a delay in colfresh money distributed from 395 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 8: the Feds to the states and eventually individual counties. 396 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: Oh wait a minute, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, hold on, let 397 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: me get my phone. That's tomorrow. So if we don't 398 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: reopen by tomorrow, then if you are expecting snap benefits, 399 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 3: cal fresh benefits, I hope you save some can goods 400 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 3: or in marks caase dog food for the apocalypse. 401 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 9: Sixty ten million dollars a month is what is distributed 402 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 9: into the Orange County economy through these EBT cards that 403 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 9: people can use to go buy food. 404 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 3: And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking sixteen million 405 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: dollars a month. That's that's government money. We shouldn't be 406 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 3: wasting that. Why are we redistributing the wealth? Okay, imagine 407 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 3: if you run a little market. Imagine if you're a 408 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 3: mom at pop store, you get a little bodega. You're 409 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: not taking any money from the government, You're not asking 410 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: for any benefits you're just trying to run your business, 411 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 3: but your customers, customers are having their appetites. 412 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: Supplemented by these programs. 413 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 3: All right, so sixteen million dollars, what does that mean 414 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: then to the mom and pops who are running little 415 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: markets in bodegas. 416 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 9: At local growth. Make sure that sixty two million dollars. 417 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: Oh I think I said sixty sixty two. 418 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 9: Million, This actually equates to more than one hundred million 419 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 9: dollars a month into our local economy. 420 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: So this is where you see capitalism working. But it's 421 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 3: not just straight laws a fair capitalism. It's not just 422 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 3: mine yours and everybody gets what they can. This is 423 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: how the system multiplies the moneies. Some people believe that 424 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: our economic system is a zero sum game. If I 425 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: give you a dollar, I have one less dollar, you 426 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: have one more dollar, and that's it. But you may 427 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: take that dollar and you may reinvest it. You can 428 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: turn that dollar into three dollars. Your three dollars then 429 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: means that you can hire more people and you can 430 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 3: give them a dollar and then they take their money 431 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: and then they invested. 432 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: This is how we multiply. 433 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: This's why our economy has been very strong, that it's 434 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: built on a pyramid scheme where the declining birth rate 435 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: is devastating. But other than that, this is how the 436 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: economy continues to grow. This is why we switched to 437 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 3: a fiat system rather than a gold standard. But if 438 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 3: you start pulling that money back now, the one dollar 439 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 3: that you needed in order to turn it into three disappears. 440 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 3: So you're not out one dollar, you're out three dollars. 441 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: In this case, in Orange County, you're not out sixty 442 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: eight million dollars, you're out one hundred million dollars. 443 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 9: Ninety five percent of all the small businesses in Orange 444 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 9: County are family owned. There's a residence of the right here, 445 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 9: so they're not getting that revenue. 446 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 8: Sherry Horn was caught off guard and wonders if other 447 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 8: seniors in Laguna Woods know that their cow fresh payments 448 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 8: are in jeopardy. 449 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 2: You're about to find out. It's very challenging. I hadn't 450 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: thought about what we would do because I didn't know 451 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 2: that this was going to happen. 452 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 8: The director of Orange. 453 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: County again, how much are you paying attention to the 454 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: slab fights in Washington? She knows that the government shut down, 455 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: she just doesn't know that it's actually going to affect 456 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 3: some of these other things, well, the snap benefits, they 457 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 3: come from the state, right, So I think as as 458 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 3: more and more people are affected, there's more and more awareness, 459 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: and more and more frustration, and more and more demand 460 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 3: on DC. 461 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 8: Anny's social services says. If the government shut down stretches 462 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 8: into mid November, it's quite possible that cal Fresh recipients 463 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 8: could lose the entire monthly payment as Thanksgiving approaches. 464 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: Well, just like COVID, I'm sure that Grandma would be 465 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: willing to sacrifice herself if it meant to saving the 466 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: economy a few dollars. Absolutely, thank you for your sacrifice, Grandma. 467 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: We appreciate that. 468 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: Chris. 469 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 3: We don't have any money to pay for your funeral, 470 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 3: so we'll get you a pauper's grave. But there are 471 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: some pressure points coming, some real pressure points the very 472 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: near horizon. Don't expect the government to reopen tomorrow, but 473 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: maybe not much longer after that. I will tell you 474 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 3: about the super secret date that an awful lot of 475 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 3: people are eyeballing very very closely. 476 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: That is next time, Chris Merrill. 477 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, Mark and. 478 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 3: Iron the same boat on that one.

And I don't know when it started. Honestly, 507 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 3: I don't even care. It's just frustrating to me, just 508 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: just why why are we doing that? Just give me 509 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 3: information on the White House, that's what I want. Nope, Nope, propaganda. 510 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: It's like, uh, it's like clicking on in oan Newsmax 511 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 3: and uh Fox News, which means that the next time 512 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 3: you've got a Democrat in there will be like clicking 513 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 3: on the Hunting Post and whatever. 514 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: All the other ones are too right, just right. I 515 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: don't like it. 516 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: So now you've got some state and I know this 517 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 3: is true because you've got state websites that are now 518 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 3: saying Trump did this. 519 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: Uh let me see. 520 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 3: The GOP is heavily pushed the idea that Democrats are 521 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: responsible for the shut down. Banner messages across the vereious 522 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: federal websites, State Department, White House, Small Business Administration Justice 523 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 3: Department websites all say Democrats did this. The radical left 524 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 3: in Congress shut down the government. 525 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: That's the official word. 526 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: So now you've got the flip side where you have 527 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 3: state governments that are saying, uh oh, if you starve 528 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 3: to death, it's Trump's fault. According to the Pennsylvania Department 529 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: of Human Services, website says because Republicans in Washington, d c. 530 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: Filled to pass the federal budget, causing the federal government 531 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: shutdown November twenty twenty five, snap benefits cannot be paid 532 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 3: federal officials. 533 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 2: This is from Illinois. 534 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: Federal officials within the Trump administration have told all states 535 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 3: that if the Republican federal government shutdown continues, it won't 536 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 3: pay for SNAP benefits in November, and our own Health 537 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 3: and Human Services Agency, if you go to their website, 538 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 3: says that the shutdowns impacts on Californians are to blame 539 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 3: for the failures of. 540 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: The President and Congress. There you go. 541 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 3: So now you've got a finger pointing contest, and ultimately 542 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 3: the shutdown may come to an end when the polling 543 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: gets too bad for one side or the other. Right now, 544 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: too many people are apathetic. That could change. Specifically, there 545 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 3: are some dates. For instance, Friday, that's when we start 546 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 3: seeing full missed paychecks. Two weeks ago, federal employees got 547 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: paid for most of the previous paycheck. The paycheck cycle 548 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 3: ended I think on the third. They got paid on 549 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: the seventh. I think I'm doing my maths right, So 550 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 3: they lost about three days worth of pay, So they 551 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 3: miss paychecks the end of the month. That's military pay. Now, 552 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: there's questions about whether or not there's enough money to 553 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: be able to pay the military. But if all of 554 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 3: a sudden you stop paying your soldiers, whoa very unpopular. 555 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: The day after that is November first. That's the biggie 556 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 3: watch for November first. If this shutdown lasts beyond November first, 557 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: there's going to be a lot of pain because the 558 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: ACA subsidies expire on November first, and that means premiums 559 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: go up right then. So if now all of a sudden, 560 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: you've got a from you've got a wide swath of 561 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: Americans who are seeing their health insurance premiums double overnight. 562 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: And they've got one side that says we're shutting down 563 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 3: the government to try to keep those premiums down, and 564 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: you've got the other side that says we're willing to 565 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: talk about that. After the government reopens, they're going to go, 566 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 3: I don't care what you do. My premium's just doubled 567 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: and you're not doing anything. So that's a pressure point. 568 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 3: Watch for November first as well, because that's also when 569 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 3: we see some preschool and head head start funding will 570 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: begin to run out, which means you've got kids in 571 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 3: rural areas where their schools are closed, which means parents 572 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 3: have to come up with daycare, which means parents are. 573 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: Going to be missing work sick days. 574 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 3: They're not going to be just about TSA agents and 575 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: air traffic controllers. It's going to be about moms and 576 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 3: dads working in private businesses that are saying I can't 577 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: come in because my kid doesn't have school because of 578 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 3: the government government shutdown. 579 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: Military paid November first, watch for that not going to 580 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: be very popular. 581 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: Of all of a sudden, you've got the soldiers on 582 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: bases not getting paid. Now it could be a little 583 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 3: tricky because this weekend the president is taking off. The 584 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 3: president is leaving and on Saturday he'll be in Asia. 585 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: The conventional wisdom is there won't be a deal cut 586 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: until he gets back, which means nothing over the weekend, 587 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: nothing ready to go on Monday. As far as record setting, 588 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: November fifth would break the record for the longest shutdown 589 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: in US history. The previous record was held by the 590 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: first Trump administration. Also to note, the shortest government shutdown 591 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 3: in history was the first Trump administration. So will these 592 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 3: things be enough of a pressure point, specifically November first, 593 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: enough of a pressure point for Congress to take action 594 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 3: for there to be a compromise, a conversation at the 595 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 3: very least, because right now it's oh, we'll have a 596 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 3: conversation with you after you pass our bill. I mean, 597 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 3: at some point the stillmate has to end, right At 598 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: some point somebody says this is going to be bad 599 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 3: for us. 600 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: Question is who blinks? 601 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 3: Right now, You've got Trump who doesn't like to be 602 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: labeled as taco, and you've got Democrats who are terrified 603 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 3: of being labeled as week by their base, and they're 604 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 3: afraid of primary challengers who are gonna say I will 605 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 3: fight the Republicans and they don't want to back down either. 606 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 3: So at some point we're gonna have to have some 607 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: level heads. But I don't see any level heads right 608 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: now with all that finger pointing, and that's tragic, absolutely tragic. 609 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 3: In the meantime, if you are waiting on benefits to 610 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: show up, what you're about to be cut off. I 611 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: just want you to understand that even if you do 612 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: get your benefits, you won't be able to afford food anyway. 613 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: You'll find out why next. I'm Chris Maryland's I AM 614 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 3: six forty. We are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio 615 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: App, KFI AM sixty on demand
