1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: Chris Merril CAM six forty more stimulating talk and on 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app. When you're on that app, 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: you can always hit the talk back button. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 3: Hey, do you think Trump has a plan for that healthcare? 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 4: No? 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 5: Or do you think he's just waiting for. 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 4: It to come up? Yeah? Good question. No I don't. 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 4: I don't think there's a plan. 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 2: So much is because one thing about Trump is that 11 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: he loves to be the counterpuntry. He loves to be reactionary. 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: So no, I don't think he has a plan. I 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: think I think he's got the plan for the Republicans 14 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: to do a healthcare bill. But if it backfires and 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: it and the Subsidi's run out and all that other stuff, no, 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: I don't. I think he'll just he'll just try to counter. 17 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: I don't think he I don't think he has a 18 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: strategy going in. 19 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 6: No. 20 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 4: Good question, though. 21 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: I was reading about this Venezuela stuff which the President 22 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: did address the country. He did about a twenty minute speech, 23 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: and I thought, I thought, is this where we've all 24 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: been through it before, where something is going on and 25 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: the president does a speech and and they go they 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: basically take it to the country. 27 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: Right. 28 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: I remember George H. W. Bush saying it's on in Iraq, Right, 29 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: I remember George W. Bush saying it's on in Iraq 30 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: and Afghanistan. Uh, with with other presidents saying this is 31 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: what's happening. 32 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 7: Uh. 33 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: Presidents do, they'll do these addresses if there's military action 34 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: going on somewhere. And so the President said, I gotta 35 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: do this. I'm gonna do this address. And I thought, 36 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say there's about a ten percent chance that 37 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: he's going to talk about taking action against Venezuela. 38 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 4: But he didn't really do that. He didn't really do that. 39 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: This was I think this was more of a he 40 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: did more of this in the first term, didn't he 41 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: where it was almost like a campaign speech. He just says, 42 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna address the nation, and it kind of is 43 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: a here's what I'm doing, Here's where I'm going, sort 44 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: of a sort of a mini state of the Union, 45 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: so to speak. Side note on the Susie Wilds thing. 46 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: Did you see the photographs from Vanity Fair? Oh, oh 47 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: my gosh. So for those unfamiliar, Susie Wilds is the 48 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: chief of staff, and she did this interview and she 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: was she was speaking very candidly, and her quotes were 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: not real flattering. However, to the credit of the White House, 51 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: they kind of rallied and they said, no, no, this 52 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: is the lamestream media. Who's making who's twisting her words, 53 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: and it's a hit piece. Although nobody ever denied what 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: she said, it's recorded, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they said, oh, 55 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: they framed this, this is a hit piece. And and 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: of course we all say, well, if you don't trust 57 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: the lamestream media, then why do you why do you 58 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: allow them to do the interviews. I mean, you ban 59 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: people from from covering the Pentagon, you ban certain places 60 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: from being an air force one. You know, don't don't 61 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: do these, don't do these long interviews these, you know, 62 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 2: there's things where you allow reporters to follow me wrong. 63 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: But they did whatever. But anyway, the Vanity Fair did it. 64 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: And Vanity Fair did these photographs that were they were 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: black and white, and they were I think supposed to 66 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: be somewhat art histic, but they ended up just kind 67 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: of turning out creepy. They were extreme close ups. I mean, like, look, 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: here's our pores. Yeah, and In one case, I'm looking 69 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: at the one from Caroline Levitt and it is so 70 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: close up you can see the you can see the 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: injection points on her lips from where she got botox, 72 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: and I thought, that is really not flattering. But then 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: I was surprised to see that the same thing happened 74 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: with Susie Wiles and she really doesn't have look, it's 75 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: just it's just how she is. She doesn't have much 76 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: in the way of lips, and she's got the same 77 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: markings on her lips too, but also hers her photograph 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: looks like looks like she just walked in on her 79 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: teenage boy and awkward moment. The other thought of Susie 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: Wiles is that, I mean, it's like it's like her 81 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: eyes are like pasted open, almost like almost like she 82 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: went into shock when she was six years old and 83 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: has been raised in an institution and has never spoken 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: a word, and then they just put a camera right 85 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: up on her face and they're like, what does she 86 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: look like later? Yeah, it was weird. It was weird. 87 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: It's not a good look. It's not a good look. 88 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 89 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: So anyway, so that's what's going on there. In the meantime, 90 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the La Times, and uh, President Trump 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: has ordered this partial blockade of oil tankers going to 92 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: and from Venezuela, and now he's claiming that Caracas stole oil, 93 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: land and other assets from the United States and that 94 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: we're going to get excuse me, the United States will 95 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: be getting and I'm quoting m getting land, oil, getting land, 96 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: oil rights, and whatever we had, we want it back. 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: He said, he did not elaborate any further. Hm, is 98 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: it did we occupy Venezuela at some point? And that 99 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: I'm unaware? Was I not taught that in my history class. Look, 100 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: I went to I went to American public school, so 101 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 2: I know that my history was my history teachings were 102 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: a bit inaccurate. But I don't recall anything about land 103 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: in Venezuela. 104 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: My alone on that. 105 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: Maybe you've been reading all that woke history, I guess, 106 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: so maybe that's what it is. It's a little bizarre 107 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: that we're making a claim to it, though, hmm, yeah, 108 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about that. I did see that 109 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: the Venezuelan Navy has begun escorting oil tankers, so that's 110 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: sort of an escalation because in the past we had, 111 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: you know, the Trump said, as the largest armada ever 112 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: assembled in that part of the Caribbean. 113 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 4: And now you've got Venezuela saying oh. 114 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: Okay, well we've got a navy too, and we're gonna 115 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: escort these ships out so that you can't you can't 116 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 2: take them. So I feel like I feel like we're 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: we're pushing some buttons here and I don't know what 118 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: the I don't know what the end goal is because 119 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: we've heard a few different stories. We heard oil and sanctions, 120 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: and a number of the ships that are in and 121 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: out of there have been sanctioned by the United States 122 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: and uh and and we can't look there's there's legitimacy 123 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: to saying those ships were sanctioned. They're not supposed to 124 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: be taking oil and uh and what they're doing is illegal, right, 125 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: So I kind of understand that logic. But the rest 126 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: of it is Maduro stole the election, and we're stopping 127 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: We're stopping fentanyl. The fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. That 128 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: is correct, right, which is a bit bizarre. It's also 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: a bit bizarre that we're going to continue on the 130 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: fentanyl path. 131 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: And I don't know if these two things. 132 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: Are going to diverge into two different topics, or if 133 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: we're going to continue to to create an amalgamation of 134 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: drugs equal fentanyl equals venezuela. That doesn't make a whole 135 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: lot of sense to me. But we did just step 136 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: that whole argument up. 137 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: Enough, Chris Merrill, you're listening to KFI AM six forty 138 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: on demand. 139 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: And we got a few talkbacks. People didn't like what 140 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: I thought. That's fine, great with that, love it. Appreciate 141 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: the input as always. Also, if you miss something on 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: tonight's programming, you can always catch the podcast. It will 143 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: be at the featured podcast section of KFI AM six 144 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: forty dot com. The President has signed an executive order 145 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: now that says that we have found weapons of mass destruction. 146 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 6: And it's on the streets, but formerly classifying fentola is 147 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 6: a weapon of mass destruction. We knocked out ninety six 148 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: percent of the drugs coming in by water, and now 149 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 6: we're starting by land, and by land is a lot easier, 150 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 6: and that's going to start happening. 151 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump, WHOA, we're stopping it by land? Does 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: he just means across the border? Are we going to 153 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: start a land worse? So, no, need to talk about 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: the border. 155 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: Right. 156 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 5: President Donald Trump signed firm K Joe, you find an 157 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: executive order classifying ventional is a weapon of mass destruction. 158 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 5: He signed in the Oval Office on Monday. Trump said 159 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 5: his administration is FORMUDA classifying the drug is a weapon 160 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: of man destruction, and added, no body. 161 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: I feel like this reporter is talking too quickly, so 162 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: much so that he said what right, listen. 163 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 5: Signed in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump said his 164 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 5: administration is FORMIDA classifying the drug is a weapon of 165 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 5: man destruction? 166 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 4: Was was he drug? 167 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 5: Said his administration is FORMUDA. Classifying the drug is a 168 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 5: weapon of man destruction is formally committing an added no 169 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 5: bomb does what this is doing. The term weapon of 170 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 5: mass destruction has a very specific history in US policy. 171 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 5: It is typically referred to nuclear, biological, chemical, or other 172 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 5: kinetic threats capable of causing overwhelming and lasting damage to people, infrastructure, 173 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 5: or the environment. Right now, it's not immediately clear how 174 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 5: this new designation will affect administration policy or what the 175 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 5: legal implications could be for people impacted by fentyl use 176 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: or drug traffickers. 177 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: I have another concern. I'll tell you what it is. 178 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: Man and behind these numbers are real people fighting for 179 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: their lives every day. 180 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: We also have reporting from Ohio that shows what this 181 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 5: looks like on the ground. Oh In Lucas County specifically, 182 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 5: officials and investigators have tracked overdose deaths and a drop 183 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 5: in fentanyl related deaths. But they also stress there's more 184 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 5: work left. 185 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: To do good. 186 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 5: The focus for first responders and public health teams is 187 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 5: keeping people alive long enough to get help. 188 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 2: Our job is to keep them living long enough for 189 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: them to make those appropriate decisions. Okay, so that's how 190 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 2: they're dealing with things locally. But so here's my concern. 191 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: I kind of understand. I understand the logic and the 192 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: same way that in the eighties we declared a war 193 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: on drugs. Right, Drugs are killing our kids, Drugs are 194 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: killing people in the streets. Drugs have to stop. And 195 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: we've declared war on random things in the past, war 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 2: on poverty, war on I don't know, even politics. Politicians 197 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: will say, you let people on the left that will 198 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: say the Republicans have declared a war on women, this 199 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: kind of thing, like they love to use this high rhetoric, 200 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: but this is this is an actual executive order that 201 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: declares fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction and based 202 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: on what based on the harm that it does to society. Okay, 203 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if the president is using this, and 204 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: time will tell as this plays out. Is the president 205 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: using this as an impetus to take action in Colombia 206 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: and which is more cocaine than fentanyl, but Mexico, Uh, 207 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: fentanyl is being the the chemicals are coming in from 208 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: Jina into Mexico being mixed there, brought across the border. Right, 209 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: So is this are we saying, oh, you are facilitating 210 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: drug cartels. We've called drug cartels terrorist organizations, and now 211 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna call fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction? 212 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 4: Okay? So is this a. 213 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,119 Speaker 2: Very clever way to sort of give yourself the authority 214 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 2: to take military action? You heard the very beginning he 215 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: said we've done it by sea and now we're gonna 216 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: do it by land. So does that mean we're putting 217 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: boots on the ground somewhere? And again, we'll have to 218 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: see how this plays out. But here's my concern with it. 219 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: As you as you shift the definition, what does that 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: do for future administrations? Suppose that you have a president 221 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: AOC who suddenly decides that carbon tailpipe emissions are weapons 222 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: of mass destruction. Suppose that you have President Newsome who 223 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: declares that automatic weapons are weapons of mass destruction or 224 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: semi aut excuse me, semi automatic, or or what they 225 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: call weapons of war. Right, what if they decide that 226 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: those are weapons of mass destruction. 227 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 4: So as we. 228 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,479 Speaker 2: Loosen our definition, we are giving more latitude to future administrations. 229 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: And that's why I worry about these things, and I 230 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: think so often when it comes to politics and policy, 231 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: we either agree or disagree based solely on the moment. 232 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: We rarely have the foresight. This is why so many 233 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: people applaud the work of the Founding fathers. They look 234 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 2: back in history, not just their immediate history. Obviously, there's 235 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: some provisions in the Constitution specific to that time, like 236 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: the Third Amendment that nobody ever remembers or or uses 237 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: in court, which is no quarter for foreign soldiers. But 238 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: they took a look back at history and then went, Okay, 239 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: what are some other mistakes that have been made throughout 240 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: humanity that we can guarantee we won't do, and we'll 241 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: put it in our constitution. So what happens then when 242 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: you have this sort of precedent being set where we go, oh, 243 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction. That's now we've 244 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: decided that's a problem, and so now we're gonna use that. 245 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: We're going to issue an executive order. And if that 246 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 4: executive order. 247 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: Stands, does that then allow for future presidents to declare 248 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: whatever it is that they're after, whether noble or not, 249 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: to be a weapon of mass destruction. I don't think 250 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: any of us would argue that, no, fentanel's a great 251 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: thing to have in the streets. 252 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 4: None of us are going to argue that. 253 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: Now you might argue that fentanyl is something that is 254 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: useful in a hospital setting, in a clinical setting, with UH, 255 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 2: with the licensed physicians who are administering that that that 256 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 2: drug on a necessary basis great. I think that's one 257 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: we can probably agree on. However, I think we also 258 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: all agree on fentanyl industry is bad and deadly cool. 259 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: But what happens when the next president comes in and 260 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 2: they go, oh, whether you agree or disagree, it doesn't matter, 261 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: because use climate change is happening, and climate change is 262 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: destroying civilizations. It is the greatest weapon of mass destruction, no, 263 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: no single thing in the history of mankind, aside from 264 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: an asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs has been so 265 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: destructive to Earth. There is no bigger mass destruction than 266 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: climate change that has to be classified as a weapon 267 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: of mass destruction, and now we can take action against it. 268 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: What happens when President AOC decides that. 269 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: So just be cautious that we're not falling into this 270 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: trap of I like or dislike what this president is doing, 271 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: because for some of you, you might be thinking, hey, Merrily, 272 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 2: you're making a lot of sense that if we had 273 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: a president AOC who said climate change is a weapon 274 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: of mass destruction, she'd be right. 275 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: You might be saying that. 276 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: But then are you cool when the next Republican president 277 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: comes in and decides that, I don't know, classic literature 278 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: is a weapon of mass destruction. 279 00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: I don't know whatever it is. 280 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: You get my point, right, Just be careful, Just be 281 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: careful on the slippery slope. 282 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 283 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 4: Hey, Eileen, you had that you have the story about 284 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: the neuro virus. 285 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't want to. 286 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: I want to talk about that because I was blown 287 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: away by something that you said there that the doctors 288 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: say that the sanitizers don't work on the neuro virus. 289 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 8: That's what it says. 290 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 9: It says you need to wash your hands because hand 291 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 9: sanitizer doesn't work well against it. 292 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 8: Huh interesting, huh. 293 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I looked it up and here's what the 294 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: here's what they say. This is what smart people say. 295 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: The structure that encloses the virus, the capsid protects the 296 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: virus and makes it more resilient to alcohol based sanitizers. 297 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: With other viruses, like the flu, there's an envelope around 298 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: the virus that can be dissolved with sanitizers that contain alcohol. 299 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: But that's not the case with the neuro virus, which 300 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: is why they say you gotta use soap and then 301 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: you wash it down the sink. 302 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 9: I'm slightly germophobic, so that kind of freaks me out 303 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 9: a little bit. 304 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 8: I carry hand sanitizer with you. 305 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you put a little purel on you think you're covered, right, 306 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: I got everything off my hands. Nope, Evidently that doesn't 307 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: work with the neurovirus, So enjoy the diarrhea. 308 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 8: Yeah. 309 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 9: So I was reading an article. Doctor Richards Molly with 310 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 9: Boston Children's Hospital says, I don't think it's ever a 311 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 9: good idea to admire a pathogen, but this one is 312 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 9: pretty unbelievable. He's talking about, you know that, how it's 313 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 9: encapsulated like that, it's hard to kill. 314 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I can understand how like an epidemiologist or 315 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 2: a virologist or somebody would appreciate it like admire. I 316 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: can understand how they could admire it without saying, oh, 317 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm excited about this deadly you know, disease or whatever. 318 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 4: You know, that's fine. 319 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's a bad one. 320 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 9: My friend had it recently and she passed out buying 321 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 9: a toilet like hydra head. Yeah, oh my gosh. Really, yeah, 322 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 9: it's bad. She got it from somebody at work. She 323 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 9: didn't sanitize the keyboard.
