Eileen 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: Gonzalez is in the newsroom. There's a lot going on 28 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: in the world. Obviously, it's an active situation in the 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: Middle East and everybody's on edge and we want to 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: make sure you're up to speed. But it's still Sunday 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: night for us, right, so we need to unwind. And 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: I get it, you don't want to be battered with 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: the hard news of the day. We have that all week. 34 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: But I cannot not talk about these gas prices. I mean, 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: they are just skyrocketing. They're going up so quickly. The 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: average price for a gallon of gas in the United 37 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: States went up forty cents in a week, and that's 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: average for the United States. Like we have petroleum in 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: the United States, have oil in Alaska, we have oil 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: in Kansas City, we have oil in Texas, and oil 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: off the Gulf of Mexico now the Gulf of America. 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: And it's still going up because of what's going on 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: in the Middle East. Natural gas prices are up to 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: and that's bad for people that live in New England 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: who use it for heating oil or heating fuel. So 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: this is a real problem. And two things. One, I'm 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: hearing literally every couple of hours how gas prices are 48 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: going up again, And I'm sitting here in the news 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: studio watching the monitors, and all I see is oil 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: feels being blown up. They're blowing up oil feels while 51 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: the gas prices in Burbank are going up hourly. And 52 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: I get it right. There's a war going on right now, 53 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: and there's saber rattling in the golf and the Straits 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: of Hormos and this and that. So every time there 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: is anything that goes on in that corner of the world, 56 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: you and I have to pay for it at the 57 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: price of the pump. And we have to wait for 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: everything to settle down and everybody to have a piece accord. 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: And that's the only way I can fill up my 60 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: tank without going to the poorhouse. Here is the Secretary 61 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: of Energy. His name is Chris Wright. He was on 62 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: I think CBS this morning. Listen to what he had 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: to say so. 64 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: One up in prices has nothing to do with any 65 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: shortage of barrels of oil or natural gas. It's just 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: fear and perception, the unknown that this could be some 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: long drawn out crisis. 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: But it won't be. 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: First off, how do you know that it won't be. 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: It's going to take a while to rebuild those oil 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: fuels that I'm looking at that are on fire. That's 72 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: amazing to me. It really is amazing to me that 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: the Energy Secretary would say that this is not going 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: to take very long. Are you kidding me? We've been 75 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: doing this since the seventies. As a kid in this 76 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: I grew up in the seventies and eighties, and I 77 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: remember my dad not being able to make it home 78 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: for dinner because it was his day to go get gas. 79 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: He had to go wait in line because of his 80 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: license plate. The way they did this in the late seventies, 81 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: the way they rationed gasoline because of worldwide shortages because 82 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: of OPEK, which is all the same crap that's going 83 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: on now. As far as I'm concerned, it's just Middle 84 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: East politics whatever, whoever's not getting along this week. It 85 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: affects our gas prices here in the United States, and 86 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: I remember my dad not being able to be home 87 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: in time for dinner because he had to go sit 88 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: in line. Otherwise he wouldn't have gas for the week. 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't know, like eight or something, 90 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: and I remember my mother explaining it to me, and 91 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: I didn't really understand, but like they watched the news, 92 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: and I remember at the time, the President of the 93 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: United States was Jimmy Carter, and I remember every time 94 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: we turned on the TV, Jimmy Carter is shaking hands 95 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 2: with the head of Israel and the head of Egypt, 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: or they're here, the head of Israel and the head 97 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 2: of Egypt. Now they're at Camp David. But they're always 98 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: shaking hands. They're always coming up with a peace deal. 99 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: There's this piece of the Middle East, Middle East piece 100 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: all the time, and my dad's online at seven o'clock 101 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: at night getting gas because of an energy crisis. And 102 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: I remember thinking as a kid, is that the president 103 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: of the United States or is that the president of 104 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: the Middle East? Why is he always hanging out with 105 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: these people? And there's like a line outside the gas station. 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: So for the Energy Secretary Chris Wright to say this 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: is not going to last long, Are you serious? We've 108 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 2: been dealing with this forever. Then I got a little 109 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: older and I started watching the news, and that's all 110 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: we talked about in this country was, you know, a 111 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: peace accords and war Sadat and Monockam began and everybody's 112 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: shaking hands and this piece and that's going to stabilize 113 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: the world market. And then breaking comes along. Oh there's 114 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: saber rattling in the straits of horror moves. How many 115 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: times do I have to hear about the straits of 116 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 2: hor moves? Straits of horm moves? Oh my goodness, what 117 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: happens if you know the straits of horror moves? They 118 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: can't get the oil, and all it means is that 119 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: our gas prices go up constantly. And we went through 120 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: this again in the first Bush administration because he started 121 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: a war to liberate Kuwait. How has Kuwait been lately? 122 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: I'm so pleased that we had to have gas prices 123 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: disrupted so that the people of Kuwait could be liberated. 124 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: So happy for them. How have they been? I have 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: not received the postcard from Kuwait in quite some time, 126 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: so I was so delighted to have helped Kuwait in 127 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: their liberation. Never got to thank you, and we're back 128 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: to where we started from. Then you go into the 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 2: Clinton administration, followed by the Bush administration. Of course that 130 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 2: was not eleven, so we had to get involved there, 131 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: and now Obama. Two terms of Obama and constantly up 132 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: saber rattling in the Golf, the stabilization in the Gulf. 133 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: Obama had to meet with the head of Israel and 134 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: the head of whatever Middle Eastern country, and they're always meeting, 135 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: and it never gets better, and never have we come 136 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: to the conclusion. This is going on since seventy eight, 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: So you look at fifty years of dealing with the 138 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: same crisis as far as the American motorist is concerned, Like, 139 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we all on peace 140 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: in the Middle East, but for whatever reason, these people 141 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: can't get along. And every single time they can't get along, 142 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: our gas prices go up seven eight dollars. Forget the 143 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: gas tax. People are like, well, maybe you know, maybe 144 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsoen can lower the gas tax for a short 145 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: period of time. Forget that that's incremental. I get it 146 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: that we pay the highest tax on a gallon of 147 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: gasoline in California, but I don't care about that now, 148 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: what it's eight dollars a gallon, That is not the point. 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: The point is we need to liberate ourselves from this 150 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: area of the world. It'll be fifty years that we've 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: been having this discussion, right since the first time we 152 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: ever heard of a thing called an energy crisis at 153 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: the pump into twenty twenty eight, it would be fifty 154 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: years and we still haven't learned. We have oil in Alaska, 155 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: we have oil in Texas, There is oil in North Dakota, 156 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: there is oil in Kansas City. We could be doing 157 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: more business with Mexico, this oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Like, 158 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: why are we relying on that corner of the world. 159 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: It is always so unstable. It would be much easier 160 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: for me to justify diplomatic relations in trying to calm 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: down flare ups in that corner of the world when 162 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: I'm not being held hostage at eight dollars a gallon. Right, 163 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: when you think about it, is kind of a conflict 164 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: of interest. It's not easy for the United States and 165 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: it's people to negotiate rationally when we got to do 166 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: something or else we're going to go to the poorhouse. 167 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: Filling up our gas every single day at these rates. 168 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: And as you know, gas prices affect other things because 169 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: everything you have was brought to you by a truck. 170 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: Everything in the grocery store was brought there by a truck. 171 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: Everything in your house was brought to the store in 172 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: a truck, or it was delivered to your house by 173 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: a truck. Every Amazon track, every Amazon package is delivered 174 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: by a truck. All these trucks use fuel. So if 175 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: you're paying eight dollars a gallon, they're paying eight dollars 176 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: a gallon, and that's what they're talking about. Eight dollars. 177 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 2: Industry experts tell the California Post drivers could soon be 178 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 2: paying above eight bucks a gallon for gas, and they 179 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: say that could potentially force drivers to ration fuel ration fuel. 180 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: All right, welcome to nineteen seventy eight. So now I'm 181 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: not gonna be able to have dinner with my sons 182 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: because I got to go stand in line. Because we're 183 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: right back where we started. Lou Penrose on KFI AM 184 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 185 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 186 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose with you on Sunday night. Good to have 187 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: you along with us. Hope you are enjoying the new 188 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: KFI Sunday lineup. You are on more often. I love 189 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: hearing your voice and your stories. Appreciate the call. So 190 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: talking about the Energy Secretary's comments about our gas prices, 191 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: he said, Look, it's obvious that there's going to be 192 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: a disruption, but it's not going to take long at all. 193 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: Energy Secretary Chris Wright acknowledge is cost increases, but on 194 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: CBS Face the Nation, he told Americans it's not for long. 195 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: In the worst case, this is weeks, This is not months. 196 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 4: Does anybody believe that, like im, I'm flabberg acid that 197 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 4: they would tell me that this is just a short interruption, 198 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 4: lou the gas price is gonna spike and then they're 199 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 4: all gonna get really cheap. 200 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: That has never happened with anything that goes on in 201 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 2: the Middle East ever. It always goes on. Look, it's 202 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: been a week since these military actions in the Middle East, 203 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: and I have to tell you, I'm not impressed. I 204 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: don't know where this goes and I don't see how 205 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: this ends. And as I'm looking at barrel prices go 206 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: up in futures and the price at the pump go 207 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: up and at the same time watching television footage of 208 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: oil refineries on fire. I don't see how this remedies 209 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: itself in days. I just don't. It's going in the 210 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: other direction. And we really need to be a little 211 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: more mature in the United States about oil. I don't 212 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: know what the problem is with energy. I get it 213 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: that back in the day, oil was dirty and it 214 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: caused pollution and smog. Those days are over. The Los 215 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: Angeles Basin used to be filled with smog. It isn't 216 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: anymore because the and the number of automobiles in the 217 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Basin has increased in the last fifty years, 218 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: not decreased. The difference is technology, fuel efficiency, automobile technology 219 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: efficiency filtering. We are able to use older products more 220 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: efficiently so that we don't choke the death and that's 221 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: exactly what we're doing, but we still need petroleum. Look, 222 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: I love the future. I'm a big fan of technology 223 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: and science solving our problems for us, and I think 224 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: we need to ready ourselves for some fantastic literally fantasy, 225 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: fantastic changes that science and technology are going to bring 226 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: to us in the years to come. To make our 227 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: lives better, to make our health better, to make our 228 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 2: quality of life better, and to create opportunities for more 229 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: of us, to create health and wealth and opportunity. So 230 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 2: I think science and technology is a good thing and 231 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: we need to write it and manage it and make 232 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: it work for us instead of us working for it. 233 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: Having said that, we can invent the future if we 234 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: can't drive to work like we have to go like 235 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: we have to live in today, as we are inventing 236 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: the tomorrow. I worked for three members of Congress from 237 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: California back in the day, and I worked for a 238 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: member of Congress when we were going through and the 239 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: one of the many never ending energy crisises that we've had. 240 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: This was during I think the Great Davis administration, and 241 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: they were brownouts and we were having all kinds of problems, 242 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: and there was so much policy discussion about restricting energy use. 243 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: And I remember thinking then and arguing, why are we 244 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: afraid of energy? Why do we need to restrict our 245 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: energy use? We know the formula, we know where to 246 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: get energy. Energy is a good thing, not a bad thing. 247 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: We shouldn't contract the energy we use. We should expand 248 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: it and put it to work for us. So we 249 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: can solve whatever problem we have, even if the problem 250 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: is not having enough energy. You can't invent solutions until 251 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: you turn on the factory. You can't cure cancer unless 252 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: you drive to the laboratory and turn on the lights. 253 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: All of that takes energy. So we need to have 254 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: a much different thought of energy. We need to get 255 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: hold of it and put it to work. Here in California, 256 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: we have a little bit of a geographic problem. We 257 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: always had energy. Back in the day, we had energy 258 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: on the West Coast. People used to drill for oil 259 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: in Huntington Beach. I was driving in Newport Beach on Friday. 260 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: It was a gorgeous day, so clear it looked like 261 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: the Pacific Ocean went up to the top of the sky. 262 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: You know those days where like the blue of the 263 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: Pacific Ocean just seems to go up up high, and 264 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: you could see off the coast of Huntington Beach, in 265 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: Long Beach those three white oil rigs. I can't remember 266 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: their names. They all start with the letter E, and 267 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: there's a great story about them. But they're way out there. 268 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: I mean they're really way out there. You usually can't 269 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: see them, but on a clear day when you can 270 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: see forever, you can see them, and I can understand 271 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: why people would not want that right because it shatters 272 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: the still of the beautiful coastline. So that's reasonable, But 273 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: there's other ways to get whatever oil is in the 274 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: ground there out of the ground and put it to work. 275 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: But back in the day in California, we drilled for oil, 276 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: we refined it, and we used it, so we didn't 277 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: need to work with Texas or Alaska. Subsequently, there is 278 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: no pipeline from Texas, and the Alaska pipeline goes on 279 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: the east side of the Rockies. Now I sound like 280 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: George Norrie, east of the Rockies, west of the Rockies. 281 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: We don't have a west of the Rockies pipeline from Alaska. 282 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: Never thought to build it because the people in California 283 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: had their own energy sources. Then over the years we 284 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: just made decisions that, look, we want to wean ourselves off. 285 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: We're very environmental here in California. We don't want to 286 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: be drolling off the coast. You know, let's invent the 287 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: future where gasoline isn't driving our cars. And we've tried 288 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: all kinds of things and it's all been It came 289 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: from a place of love. To be perfectly honest, right, 290 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: it was, but it was naive and here we are. Now. 291 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: We are closing refineries, we are restricting the ability to 292 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: drill for oil. The idea of expanding oil leases is 293 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: you never get that through the California State Senate, and 294 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: no one's even considering. Even people that are pro power 295 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: are not considering going off the coast. So now we're stuck. 296 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 2: Whenever there is a shortage of energy for whatever reason, 297 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: it could be something as routine as a refinery problem 298 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: like a broken refinery, or a refinery decides I'm not 299 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: going to do business in California anymore, or the president 300 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: of Israel and the president of the United States can 301 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: decide that it wants to destroy all the energy sources 302 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 2: in a country called Iran, like, whatever the reason is. 303 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, we are directly affected 304 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: in California and we are the most populous state. So 305 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: we need a plan because I don't know what's ever 306 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: gonna happen in the Middle East. I don't know that 307 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: they're ever going to get along. I certainly hope they do. 308 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: I'm being told by my energy secretary, this is just 309 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: a short little thing and then everything will go back 310 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: to normal. And I heard that and almost choked this morning, 311 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: like a short little thing. I've been hearing about this 312 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 2: since I was a kid in the seventies, like never ending. 313 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: So I'm not optimistic. I'm not happy about what's going on. 314 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: I hate to see things on fire and things being 315 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: destroyed because I know that when all the smoke is cleared, 316 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: it all have to be built up again. And sometimes 317 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: I suspect the United States tax payer is going to 318 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: have to foot that bill. But even if we don't 319 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: fut the bill, we'll put the bill in the cost 320 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: of gasoline at the pump. But somebody's got to rebuild 321 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: all those oil fields. If that, if Iran's going to 322 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: go into the oil business again, I don't know what 323 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: else they got going on over there. A lot of 324 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: sand and pretty much little else.

I'll be with you until seven. 329 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: All part of the new Sunday lineup on KFI head 330 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: the Brooker at noon in the afternoon, followed by Andy Reesemeyer, 331 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: your buddy Luigi, and then at seven o'clock True Crime 332 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: is Live tonight at seven o'clock, so KFI guaranteed human 333 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: and always live. All right, So we did it. We 334 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 2: made it through the Sunday spring forward deal. I have 335 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: to agree with Shannon on this one. Shannon was talking 336 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: about this with Gary. I don't remember which day this week, 337 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 2: but she was so right. We spend like a week 338 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 2: these days talking about the time change. Back in the day, 339 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: it was a reminder at the end of the eleven 340 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: o'clock news, like there was a thing in the Saturday 341 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: and Sunday paper on the front page of the paper, 342 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: for sure, but down in the corner where the surf reporters, 343 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: it would be like, you know, keep in mind spring 344 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: forward tonight. And then on Sunday morning, did you remember, 345 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: it was like a little square in the newspaper below 346 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: the fold, and they would end the nightly newscast reminding you, 347 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: if you've not done so already, to go ahead and 348 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 2: move your clock forward before you went to bed. And 349 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 2: that was it. Now we talk about it for days 350 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: and we bring on psychologists and pull monologists, and like 351 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: all the challenges that the children are going to be affected, 352 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: and the sleep cycle is going to be affected, and 353 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: people are going to be affected. They're going to drop 354 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: dead of a heart attack. It's one hour. So I 355 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: agree with sen I think you can just deal with it. 356 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: It would be like waking up in Las Vegas and 357 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: then driving back to California. Like did you ever go 358 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: to a meeting and early meeting in Denver? Or did 359 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: you ever have to make a flight out of Alax 360 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 2: that's at six o'clock and you get up at four 361 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: instead of getting up when you normally get up. It's 362 00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: about that impacting. So I think we're all gonna be okay. 363 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: But the idea of changing what we're doing, like, I 364 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: think the most common or the prevailing philosophy is to 365 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: leave it the way it is now. Darker mornings and 366 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 2: longer evenings. I don't really care. I just think we 367 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 2: should do away with one or the other. But let's 368 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: just get on with it. Most of the world is 369 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: doing it now too. 370 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 5: Only about a third of countries actually turned the clock 371 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 5: back or forward, depending on the season. Near the equator, 372 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 5: there's not much point as day lengths are consistent year round. 373 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: Who's this cheeky fellow? Can we get an American broadcaster 374 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 2: to give us the news? 375 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 5: In the last fifteen years, a host of nations have 376 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: ended seasonal time changes, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and Jordan among them. 377 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 5: Egypt also scrapped it, but then brought it back in 378 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: an effort to save energy. Some researchers believe daylight saving 379 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 5: is linked to health problems, from sleep disruptions to heart attacks. 380 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, there it is. There's the heart attack. I always 381 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: hear about the heart attack because we move the clock 382 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: forward one hour. That's amazing. So Russia, Iran, Turkey, and 383 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: Jordan have done away with it all together. They're ahead 384 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 2: of us. We talk about it, but we've not gotten 385 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: there yet. 386 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 4: Iran. 387 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 2: Wow. So that means that the fighter pilot that is 388 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: currently dropping bombs over Tehran right now has to change 389 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: the clock on the dashboard of his cockpit, while the 390 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: people on the ground in Iran don't. What do you 391 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: know about that? All right? So, darker mornings the positive, 392 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: they say this, You know, these endless discussions of this. 393 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: Darker mornings later sunrise can feel cozy, especially for people 394 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: that are easing into the day. So they've said that, 395 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 2: you know, if you're awake while the sun gets brighter, 396 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: that's better for you. It eases you into the day, 397 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 2: and then it's quieter in the house, it's calmer, or 398 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 2: pre dawn hours are available to you if you're want 399 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: of these people that like get up before the house 400 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: gets up, to go downstairs and just be alone with 401 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: your thoughts, than these are your days. The negative is 402 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 2: you're waking up in the dark, so when you get up, 403 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: it's pitch blackout and in some areas, depending on where 404 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: the kids are going to school, kids are I don't 405 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: know kids are going to school in the dark. They 406 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 2: say that, but I don't think that's happening. At least 407 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 2: in high school in California. They move the start times 408 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: into the eight o'clock hour, so I'm not too worried 409 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 2: about the kids in the dark. Plus, there are these 410 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: things called street lights and flashlights. So the longer evenings, 411 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 2: the positive, they say, is more daylight, so the day's 412 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 2: not over. You get off a day's work and you 413 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: come home and you don't feel like you got no 414 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: time for yourself. You can go out into the back 415 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: out of the porch, you can go outside, you can 416 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 2: tool around in the garage or whatever you want to do. 417 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: There's still some daylight out there, so you don't feel 418 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: like your whole life is just working. Families can go outside, 419 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: you can eat outside, and it'll be light out. The negative, 420 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 2: of course, is if you're trying to get kids to 421 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: go to bed or get kids to wind down and 422 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 2: start doing homework, they want to play outside. I remember 423 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: this when my kids were younger. They're better now at 424 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: managing their time. My kids are seventeen fifteen and the 425 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: baby will turn thirteen in just about a month. But 426 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: when so, they're okay now. But like back in the day, 427 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: it was impossible to get them to come into the house, 428 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: and then when they did, they would that's like what 429 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: I wanted them to take showers and go to bed, 430 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: is when they wanted to tell me about the homework 431 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 2: they had and the homework they needed help with and 432 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: why are we doing this now? So that's about to happen. 433 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: If you have kids that are like third grade, fourth grade, 434 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: fifth grade, you'll be a hit up for homework help 435 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: right around nine o'clock at night. And some these schools 436 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 2: think that parents have a staples in their house. They 437 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: think that we have every color sharpie and post aboard 438 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: of all colors available at all times, and colored pencils. 439 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: I think whoever does these homework assignments they really don't 440 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: think it through, and they send home these projects for 441 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: these kids to do. And kids don't want to feel 442 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: like a loser, so they're not going to do it 443 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 2: and just pencil and I'm like running out to Walmart 444 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: a nine o'clock a night to get you know, at 445 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: pink sharpie. So productivity at night is going to be 446 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: impacted because they're just there's just more light out, so 447 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 2: people will live later into the night. Parents, shift workers 448 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: and early risers will feel the strain most accurately. I 449 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: think we're gonna be okay. I really do. I don't 450 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: think it's as impacting as the news reporters on TV 451 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 2: lead you to believe. Jesse, did you wake up late? 452 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 2: Did you have like any problem or when you woke up, 453 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: was it like, Wow, the morning's already started and I'm 454 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: still tired. I didn't notice any change, No change right normal. 455 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: I's like, oh my microwave is off, let me fix that. 456 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: And that's about it. That's about it, but they talk 457 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 2: about it like it's a big disruptive deal like they 458 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: talk about it and I don't know. I'm not sure 459 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 2: if they're being dramatic for clicks or to fill time, 460 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 2: or there's nothing else going on in the world, although 461 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 2: it does seem like it's a busy news time. But 462 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: all week I heard Shannon say it, and I thought, 463 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: she's so right. Right, we talk about this like it's 464 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 2: a big, big deal. It's a one hour It is annoying, 465 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: and I don't like it because it's antiquated. I don't 466 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: like antiquated things. We do a lot of things in 467 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: our culture that make no sense because we've always done them. 468 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: Like keeping the penny was stupid, but people felt nostalgic 469 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: for the penny. But the penny costs three cents to produce. 470 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 2: That's dumb, so we shouldn't have a penny. We don't 471 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 2: go to school in the summertime. You know why we 472 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 2: don't send our kids to school in the summertime because 473 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: of little house on the prairie, Because the kids need 474 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: to go home and help paw in the fields. Because 475 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: it's eighteen ninety. But the reality is it's not eighteen 476 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: ninety and we now have automated the equipment by three 477 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: m and Charles Ingles is not out there and he 478 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 2: doesn't need the kids to come home to help. So 479 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: but we still take the longest amount of time off 480 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: every summer, and everybody kind of wink wink nod nods it. Yeah, 481 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: it goes back to back in the day when agriculture 482 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 2: and people had to work in the field and they 483 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: needed the whole family on board. Right, it's twenty twenty six. 484 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: Why are we still taking two months of school off. 485 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: You always hear from educators how much learning laws takes place, 486 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 2: and how September is a tough month for teachers to 487 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: get the kids back to reading on grade. Okay, so 488 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: let's stop taking summers off. Same with the clock change 489 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: that was for candles to save candles.

And we're still turning the 495 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: clocks back and clocks forward, and it's just antiquated and 496 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: it's so absurd that it becomes funny.

I guess we 510 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: worked for free for this hour. You know that's very funny. 511 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: I had considered doing that. I was going to text 512 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: Heather and and see if I could coordinate with her 513 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: and Andy and see if we could all be late 514 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: by an hour, just to freak out the program direct. 515 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: But you know, I thought that would be very funny. 516 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: I like have her ready to go, but like not 517 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: be in the studio with twelve Say, what are you 518 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: talking about? It's only eleven o'clock on my phone I 519 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: thought that would be good, But there are everybody's on top. No, 520 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: we're on four to seven, and at seven o'clock it's 521 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: True Crime Live. That's a big deal. That's a big deal, 522 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: lots of crimes. Everybody loves those crime stories, and the 523 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: hosts will be live coming up following the news. At 524 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: five o'clock, it is five. It's gonna be five o'clock 525 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: in just a few minutes if you move to clock. 526 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 2: The burger wars are continuing. The CEO of McDonald's, I 527 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: think took it personally, and he's firing back. He does 528 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: not like being made fun of. The CEO of Burger 529 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: King did his own video. Everyone's doing one now, I 530 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 2: mean In and Out has got a video out there. 531 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: I saw Taco Bell do one, the Smashburger guy did one, 532 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: The AMW guy did a really funny one. If you're 533 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: gonna do this like it's late, now to start doing 534 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 2: it like it's too late unless you're really funny. The 535 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: joke's over. Everybody knows that the CEO of McDonald's is 536 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: awkward eating a big arch, so you got to come 537 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 2: up with something else. But if you were gonna come 538 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: up with that, like if you're gonna mock it at all, 539 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: and I like mocking. I'm a big fan of mockery. 540 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 2: I thought that was a lot of fun, got a 541 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: lot of mileage, And frankly, I think I want to 542 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: see the CEO of every fast food chain, have the Burger. 543 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: I would prefer, frankly to see the CEO of many 544 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: of the major companies, Like I want to see Michael 545 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: Dell reboot a Dell computer and see if it takes 546 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: as long as it takes me when I reboot my 547 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: Dell computer. So I'm all about like having the CEOs 548 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: involved in their products. But it was a lot of fun, 549 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: and everybody made fun of him because he took this 550 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: like ridiculously girly bite of the big arch, and I 551 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 2: had a new cycle of fun. Make the burger king 552 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: guy really took a shot at him, and he took it. 553 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 2: He fired back. So they they're still arguing about it. 554 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: And there is another theory out there that I want 555 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 2: to explore because it sounded crazy at first, and then 556 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: the days move forward and I thought maybe this might 557 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 2: be a true thing. I don't know if you remember 558 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: the whole debacle that was New Coke Coca Cola had 559 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: a new recipe and they unveiled it and everybody hated it, 560 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: and every and the whole world was talking about it. 561 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: Everyone was talking about this Coca Cola is terrible. I 562 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 2: want the old coke back, and Coca Cola reneggued and 563 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: or you know, they rolled back and put out the 564 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: classic coke, and people said, this was the most brilliant 565 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: switcheroo ever we've been had. Coca Cola always knew they 566 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 2: put out a Coca Cola that was clearly bad, so 567 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: that we would all talk about how bad it is 568 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: and yearn for them, please give us back the old coke. 569 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 2: We love that coke. I miss it so much. And 570 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: that was the plan the whole time. Now, the Coca 571 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: Cola company denies that this was the marketing plan, but 572 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: it certainly worked. And there are people now opining that maybe, 573 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: just maybe McDonald's put out the absolute worst sandwich ever 574 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 2: because it's not getting good reviews, Like nobody likes it. 575 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 2: It is visually unappealing. It is beige. I mean it 576 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 2: is really beige. The bun is beige, the cheese is white, 577 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: and the sauce is beige. It looks like the Irvine 578 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 2: company designed a hamburger. It is visually unappealing. Who puts? 579 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: And you know when you start thinking along those terms, 580 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: if you enjoy a good conspiracy theory like I do, 581 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: then you can indulge. Right, wait a minute, maybe lose right, 582 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 2: who would put poppy seeds side by side with sesame seeds? 583 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 2: You don't even get that? And in everything Bagel and 584 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: then everything Bagel has everything, but it doesn't have poppy 585 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: seeds and sesame seeds. Nobody would eat that, Like who 586 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: would put poppy seeds on top of sesame seeds on 587 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: the bun? And then it's such a mess. And that 588 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 2: no other burger has the sauce on the bottom and 589 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 2: on the top, so it is a saucy, disgusting mess. 590 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 2: The sauce is no good. People are talking about how 591 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 2: much better the Big Mac sauce is, and the cheese 592 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: is horrible and nobody likes it. So maybe McDonald's is 593 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 2: putting one over on all of us that we will say, hey, 594 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 2: get rid of it, dump it, ditch it, get me 595 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: a big Mac. And any day of the week, I'd 596 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 2: rather have a quarter pounder with cheese. Get this thing 597 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 2: out of the store. I don't even want to smell it. 598 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 2: I bought one on Tuesday night. I went out because 599 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: I love this stuff. I think the QSR, the quick 600 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 2: service restaurant industry, is a fascinating one. It's so competitive, 601 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: but yet it's so creative and it deals with something 602 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 2: that we all do every day, and that is enjoy 603 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: a good tasting burger. So they get very creative and 604 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 2: it's fun to watch when they compete, and we're in 605 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 2: the midst of burger wars. So I'm like, all right, 606 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: I want to try it, and I bought it. I 607 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 2: have three sons and there was a friend over. I 608 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 2: cut it in fours and I got two thumbs down. 609 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 2: And my sons are teenagers. Two thumbs down like no, 610 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 2: I don't even want to finish this bite, and then 611 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 2: two me it's not bad, but I wouldn't buy it again. 612 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 2: So that's a boot. So we'll tell you what the 613 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: latest is on that one. That's all coming up next 614 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 2: to Lou Pantos on kf I AM six forty live 615 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: Everywhere on the iHeartRadio 616 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: App kf I AM six forty on demand
