Speaker 3: first three seconds. I also feel like that's a good No,

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,040

00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I like that.

00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,279

Speaker 2: Ohyah good, Okay, Well, we're gonna hope she's not listening. Uh.

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 4: Tiffany was very nice to me, by the way.

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: Over the week she sent me a picture of a

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: turkey trying to get into a house and said this

18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: is you.

19
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 4: Thanks. Watch Tiffany. Okay.

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 5: Oh.

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: I was back in.

22
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Michigan last week and I was doing yard work and

23
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: there were turkeys that were like ten feet away from me.

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: They were just they just walked into the yard. While

25
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: I was raking leaveslay. Hey, yeah, but anyway, they just

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: walk up to you ready to be harvested and eaten.

27
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: And I started laughing. I started talking to him, and

28
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, guys, what's she.

29
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 4: Doing for Thanksgiving? What should we have on the table?

30
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: You want some mashed potatoes?

31
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: There's some stuffing or some I don't know, cranberry thoughts

32
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: and yams?

33
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: What else should we have? Guys?

34
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: They didn't care. They didn't care at all, did not care.

35
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: All right, So are we doing SNAP or not doing Snap?

36
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: You just told me the Supreme Court said no Snap

37
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: for you.

38
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: It was a late Friday night Supreme Court order temporarily

39
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: pausing the lower Court's order that would make the administration

40
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: pay the full SNAP benefits this month. So we're on again,

41
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: We're off again, We're on again. Now we're off again.

42
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: So this is really interesting too.

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: According to what I'm reading from CBS News, it was

44
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Katanji Brown Jackson that froze the order. That is correct,

45
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: and she is on the liberal wing of the Supreme Court.

46
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: You would have thought that she would say, no, no,

47
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: we have to make sure people are fed while we

48
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: sort through this.

49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: Acording to her, The pause is to give the appeals

50
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: court more time to consider the case. Meantime, there's people

51
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: who are struggling, who are kind of wondering when their

52
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: next meal is going to come.

53
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: I did see that some states thought, okay, well now

54
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: we're going to have we're going to have funding. So

55
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: they immediately started loading cards, you know, because it has

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: to come like some states, it goes to the state,

57
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: and then the state distributes it through their own for instance,

58
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: Ursus cal fresh right. Yeah, so they said, okay, well

59
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: the money's coming in, so now we can distribute.

60
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: But then all of a sudden, the Supreme Court says, pause,

61
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 4: So now what's happening. Well, it's a bit of a mess,

62
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: is what's happening. Oh my god.

63
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: And you've got people who are desperate right now who

64
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen and what they're going

65
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: to do.

66
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this is the worst. And boy, I

67
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: was talking to somebody last week after the first court

68
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: ruling came down, and the judges said, you have until

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: Friday to tell us what's going on. And I talked

70
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: to a lawyer and I said, I said, look, the

71
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: Trump administration fought this to start with, doesn't it make

72
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: sense that they would appeal this ruling? And the attorney

73
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: I talked to you said, nah, they're not going to

74
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: do that. That would you know, that would be political death.

75
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: They're not going to appeal this ruling and not feed people.

76
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: And then Trump that like Friday or whatever it was,

77
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: said Okay, well we are going to release the funds,

78
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: and then came out and said, well, we're only going

79
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: to release partial funds. And then this week said no,

80
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: we're not going to release any funds, and then appealed

81
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: the ruling. And then the Appeals Court says, no, you

82
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: have to release some and now the Supreme Court says, no,

83
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: you don't have to release any. So uh, I guess

84
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: moral of the story is have you seen the Lincoln bathroom?

85
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: Wow? How about that ballroom?

86
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: That ballroom is going to look great. I mean, for

87
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: those that survived to see it should be a beautiful

88
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: addition to the White House.

89
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Try to look on the bright side. Okay, oh my gosh, unbelievable.

90
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: And what's Congress up to? Oh they went home? Oh okay,

91
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: well that's good. I'm sure they went home and they

92
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: probably don't have any food in the cabinets either. Right,

93
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: they went home and they were like, oh boy, and

94
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: we got to open the government because I'm not getting

95
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: any paycheck here, I can't go to the grocery store.

96
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: And oh no, they're not They're fine. Actually they're doing great.

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: All right. Well before all of today's mess, uh, I

98
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: did see that California was already trying to figure out

99
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: how to get people food and NBCLA was reporting on that.

100
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 6: The disabled man on the phone got the snack payment

101
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 6: he and so many others had been waiting for but

102
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 6: weren't sure would come this month because of the federal

103
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 6: government shutdown.

104
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: And how much did you.

105
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 7: Think about.

106
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:39,799

00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 6: He says, to buy food for was.

108
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,599

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: please enough.

112

Speaker 6: He says, to buy food for himself for the rest

113
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 6: of the month.

114
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: Not being home.

115
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 6: But they're putting today, but many like Emma Rodriguez and

116
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: Juan Assario are still waiting hoping. You don't know if

117
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 6: you're going to get a payment in two days.

118
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: No, I don't.

119
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 6: Asio gets his snap benefits usually on the ninth of

120
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: each month.

121
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: Oo, not this month, And they just told me to

122
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: keep on calling and see what's going on.

123
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: While we were talking with Asorio at this weekly food

124
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 6: drive in Santa Ana, we learned from Orange Counties Social

125
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 6: Services those who get their monthly SNAP benefits from the

126
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 6: eighth of the month to the tenth of the month,

127
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 6: ye should be getting their benefits as scheduled.

128
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so that guy's gonna get his maybe probably,

129
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: unless the Supreme Court says that I'm so confused money.

130
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: Asorio depends on to feed his family.

131
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Usually it's a.

132
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: Cart full and that pretty much lasts me a week too,

133
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 4: a week.

134
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: And a half.

135
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 4: You make it stretch, I make it stretch.

00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 5: Can you know?

140
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: Can goods?

141
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 6: Asorio is one of more than three hundred thousand people

142
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 6: in Orange County who depend on food assistance full.

143
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: I was a mechanical engineer, so it just happened to

144
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: lay me off throughout my life.

145
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 4: I reisally didn't depend on until now.

146
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 6: The Santa Anna flather says his rent is twenty six

147
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: hundred a month.

148
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's not bad. Where you get twenty six hundred

149
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: dollars a month. I'd like that. Hell, I'd read Tony's

150
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: garage for twenty six hundred dollars a month.

151
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: Tony, you need a roommate. I'm moving in. I'll sleep

152
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 4: about it. I'll sleep next to your Galactica machine. I

153
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: need a roommate.

154
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: Easy wait, no, no, no on there, Toxica. I think

155
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: that's a good idea.

156
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: All right, what your son?

157
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 6: That doesn't leave room for much else in his budget,

158
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 6: Asorio says, what he picks up weekly at this food

159
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: drive helps him fill the gap.

160
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 4: Wow, So okay.

161
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: So so first we cut it off, and then the

162
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Federal jo said the USDA has to cover the full benefits.

163
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: So again, initially, Trump said, I'm gonna I'm going to

164
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: not only going to cover half, and then the judge said, no,

165
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: you have to cover all of it.

166
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: And then the appeals court said, yeah, you do have

167
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: to cover all of it.

168
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: And so the administration then said, well, we're going to

169
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: appeal this, but they said, well that's fine, you can

170
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: appeal it, but you have to cover it while you're

171
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: appealing it.

172
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: And then the Supreme Court just said, nah, you ain't

173
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: got to do that.

174
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: Bit of a seesaw and there's that other element that

175
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: went on this week, which is that stores who tried

176
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: to step up and cut people a break who were

177
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: cut off were told, you can't do that.

178
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: Maybe they can't do that. They're not allowed to do that.

179
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: They're not allowed to help, they're not allowed to give

180
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: away their own.

181
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: Product, they're not allowed to give people a discount at all,

182
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: or they could lose the whole snap arrangement when it's

183
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: back in business.

184
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Oh, were they doing the whole if you show us

185
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: your snap card will give you the discount thing?

186
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: Some were.

187
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: And so they're saying, Okay, well that's uneven application of whatever,

188
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: you're discriminating against whatever.

189
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: Ok you can try and piece together the act now

190
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 3: for it. Yeah, and I'm working on that at this point.

191
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: Still Trump administration in their emergency appeal, so they already

192
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: exhausted the entirety of a more than five billion dollar

193
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: contingency reserve, which was enough to provide only partial food

194
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: assistance payments for the month. The warned that the additional

195
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: four billion dollars needed to cover the allotments for low

196
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: income Americans would require we would require them to dip

197
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: into a fund designated for child nutrition program. So what

198
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: is that, like, Wick, that's the okay, oh yeah, women,

199
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 2: infant children, right right.

200
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: Good night?

201
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: What do you suppose is the final straw that that

202
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: makes some of these politicians cave on the.

203
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 4: On the the shutdown. Well, there's a lot of different

204
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 4: factors to that. But when I try to boil it down,

205
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: just as a journalism and not an analyst, what do

206
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 4: you think, Chris, is the reason for making it so

207
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: difficult for the vulnerable people to get some food?

208
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: I think it's politics. I think that they're being used

209
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: as pawns. I think that's part of it. And I

210
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: think I think both sides are trying to point at

211
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: the others right now. In fact, you know what, let's

212
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: I want to get into this a little bit further,

213
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: because you know, we've been waiting and watching and hoping

214
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: that somebody would move in Washington, and there was another

215
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: proposal today and we'll tell you how that played out.

216
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: And who's I mean, they're they're all talking about who's

217
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: gonna blink first, and nobody's base is gonna be happy.

218
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: But why don't we give a crap about the base? God,

219
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: we're also worried about the base? Oh what about my base.

220
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: My base isn't gonna like this moist eyes.

221
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, unbelievable. Mark, you got me pissy to

222
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 4: start the show?

223
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: Doesn't take much, does it? It really doesn't. All Right,

224
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: who's gonna blink, who's gonna step up? Who's gonna be

225
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: the grown up?

226
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: That's next?

227
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

228
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: The Snap benefits were supposed to be paid, and then

229
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: the Supreme just said no, you ain't gotta.

230
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

231
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: I this is where I'm a little bit lost. And

232
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: I guess this is because I'm not a psychopath. And

233
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't mean that in the most vicious way possible,

234
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: only about half as viciously as possible, because you know,

235
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: you hear those stories about how CEOs the psychopath and

236
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: the boardroom that kind of thing, and how you know,

237
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: you have to be really cutthroat to get ahead. And

238
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of these politicians have that characteristic,

239
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: like just zero f's given, you know.

240
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: I think that's uh. I think that's part. And so it's.

241
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: Unfathomable to me that you would have a politician that

242
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: would say, well, we're just not gonna pay Snap. But

243
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: not only do you have a politician in the White House,

244
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: you have a room full of of yes men who

245
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: say the same thing. Oh, that's fine, we don't have

246
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: to pay, we don't have to make sure people get food.

247
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: That's fine, that makes perfect sense to us. And it's

248
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 2: done for leverage, right, I mean it's it's done for

249
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: leverage on the shutdown. It's it's about making people pawns.

250
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: And and it's just really difficult for me to figure out.

251
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: So are we any closer to getting a deal done?

252
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: Oh?

253
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: That was the wrong music. Ah, that was gonna be

254
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: so smooth too. Man, it still kind of works. But no,

255
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: all right, here we go. Are we any closer? Start

256
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: over again? Hi, Chris Merylka if I am six forty,

257
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: are we any closer to getting a deal done?

258
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: See?

259
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 2: That would have been much better that, right, Mark, That

260
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: would have been way better if I'd just had the

261
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: right stupid music queued up.

262
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: No, that's a lot snappier and more uplifting. Although are

263
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: we going for uplifting?

264
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: I was going for a little bit hokey and mocking

265
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: the powers that be is what I was after.

266
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: Satire, Thank you, thank you.

267
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: So the Senate Republicans have now rejected another offer from

268
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats. The Democrats came forward and they said, look,

269
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: let's just sign on to the continuing Resolution and all

270
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: you gotta do is just say, yeah, we're gonna fund

271
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: the We'll fund the government for or excuse me, we'll

272
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: fund the Affordable Care Act subsidies for one year.

273
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: We're not even asking for anything else, just one year. Now.

274
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: Why would the Democrats say one year is good enough?

275
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Is it so that they can set this all up

276
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: so that we can argue over it all again next year. No,

277
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: as much as you might be tempted to think that

278
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: it's merely kicking the can down the road, that is

279
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: not the case. Because the calculus for the Democrats is

280
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: we're gonna win the midterms and then this isn't going

281
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: to be an issue next year. But that's also a

282
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: bit shortsighted because the Republicans could just as easily try

283
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: to shut down the government unless the Democrats cut the

284
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act subsidies next year. And we've seen that

285
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: play out before too, where the minority party says, no,

286
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: this is what we want.

287
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: Any of you gotta do it or else.

288
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: I think people may not understand what a Sophie's choice.

289
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: This is Chris, because on the one hand, you've got

290
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: struggling poor people who may not eat, and on the

291
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: other hand, you've got people with insurance premiums that may double, triple, quadruple,

292
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: or that they'll be completely priced out of.

293
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 4: And that's a hell of a choice to have to make.

294
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in all fairness, the Senate Republicans, excuse me,

295
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: the Republican budget, though, does double down and really cut

296
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: into the national debt. It throttles the national debt. It

297
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: starts accomplishing some of those goals that the fiscal hawks

298
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: on the and the GOP have wanted for years, and

299
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: it starts paying down the debt, and it starts getting

300
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: us out of the problem that we have with debt.

301
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: And what's that It doesn't that's a big negatory on that.

302
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh it doesn't.

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: We just sent forty billion dollars to Yeah, thank you,

304
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: thank you.

305
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: Oh okay.

306
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: So really the question is how much more debt are

307
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: we going to go into? That's what this boils down to.

308
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: Are we going to go into debt by allowing subsidies

309
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: for medical coverage for people who are self employed, or

310
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: are we gonna go are we gonna not go into

311
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: quite as much debt. Okay, Well, here's what you have

312
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: to keep in mind, though, and let me make this

313
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: point though, let me just let me be clear about this.

314
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: With the introduction of the massive tariffs that we have

315
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: instituted willing nearly across the globe, we are paying off

316
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: the national debt. We are adding a tariff, and it's

317
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: a tariff, not at tax.

318
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: Those are two different words.

319
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Might be the same thing, but they're two different words,

320
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: and we can call them different words. They are they

321
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: are adding a we're adding a tariff, not a tax,

322
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: and that is going to pay off the national debt.

323
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: I mean, already we've seen billions of dollars come in

324
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: in tariffs, and so that's obviously you're seeing. I mean,

325
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: if you open up the world debt clock or the

326
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: US debt clock, that's it's that's not doing it either.

327
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: And also in the Supreme Court this week, they asserted

328
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: that the tariffs were taxes.

329
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, on users.

330
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay, but the President has a plan, he says if

331
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: they fail him, and he says he thinks that the

332
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: that his team is gonna win in the Supreme Court

333
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: and we're gonna continue to be able to tax American

334
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: companies or I mean tariff foreign countries. Then if if

335
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: the if the if the justices that that he put

336
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: on the Supreme Court in order to give himself a

337
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: majority in the first term thanks to Miss McConnell's stalling

338
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: the nomination of Merrick Garland, then then if if they

339
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: don't follow through, he's going to be very disappointed. There's

340
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: gonna be all hell to pay. But he said today

341
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: they're coming up with a game two plan. So I mean,

342
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: that's that's new word. So game two plans set to go.

343
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: I see this playing out in one of three ways.

344
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: Democrats finally say we can't it doesn't matter who's to blame.

345
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: We can't keep allowing people to starve. We can't do that.

346
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: So that that's one way, and then they they capitulate

347
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: and healthcare sub healthcare subsidies.

348
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: Go away, YadA, YadA, YadA.

349
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: Two Republicans say this is looking very bad for us politically,

350
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have to do something about it. We're

351
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: gonna have to, you know, even if it's just extend

352
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: it for a year whatever.

353
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: Then they're going to say, okay, well.

354
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: We did what the Democrats wouldn't do, and everyone's gonna

355
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: claim victory. Democrats are going to say, look, the Republicans

356
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: did what we wanted. Republicans are saying, look we did

357
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: what the American people wanted. Everybody's gonna claim victory. The

358
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: problem is the president doesn't want that. The President doesn't

359
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: want the GOP to budget at all, which means that

360
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: the congressional GOP would have to grow backbone.

361
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: And I don't know if that's gonna happen.

362
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's possibly going to be enough

363
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: political pressure on the president. He's a lame duck president,

364
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: and I don't know if he's actually going to ever

365
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: capitulate to the pressure.

366
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: He may just say, everyone hold the.

367
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: Line and we'll just make sure that when there's dead

368
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: kids in the streets, that will cut a video to

369
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: play at all of the airports blaming the Democrats.

370
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 4: That may be his end goal here. Well, and a

371
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: judge just ruled today that they can't do that either.

372
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: What put dead kids in the street.

373
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: And no use government resources to blame the other party.

374
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: Right, But you're also making the assumption that we're going

375
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: to respect the separation of powers. Yeah, there's that and

376
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: at some point we're going to test the limits of

377
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: the constitution.

378
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: Things at some point coming to a head, don't they.

379
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: It does.

380
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: It does because they also said you can't send troops

381
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: to Portland, and we'll see if they don't.

382
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 4: You know, we'll see how that plays out.

383
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: I mean, the thing with me and you're you can opine,

384
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: but I think my role as a journalist is to

385
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: look at the underdog, the little guy, and to hold

386
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: the powerful to account. And it just occurs to me

387
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: that it's really easy to play chicken when you're not

388
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 3: in one of the cars.

389
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 4: Absolutely it's easy.

390
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: It's way easier to wash the demolition derby than it

391
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: is to drive in one way easier. But when the

392
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: government does finally reopen, then they can swear in the

393
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: new representative from Arizona at a Latea Grihova, and then

394
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: we can see the Epstein files. So I mean, you

395
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 2: might say that this is all about withholding the Epstein files.

396
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: It's been said a great deal recently.

397
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: At some point though the government has to reopen it

398
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: at some point they have to swear her in. At

399
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: some point that's going to happen. So I don't know

400
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: what they're waiting like rip the bandid off. Let's just

401
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: see the files. At some point, all right, you thought

402
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: the fire was the disaster survivor say no, real damage

403
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: actually came after the insurance that never paid, the cleanup

404
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: they never cleaned, and the toxins. They're still lingering in

405
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: alta Dina where the pain from the fire is burning

406
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: the hottest.

407
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: Next, you're listening to kf I Am six forty on

408
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: demand from.

409
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,680

Speaker 2: I mean, you're our you're our audio file equipment guru.

445
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: I got these things in there. They were like New

446
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: York Times said, these are the best in your monitors, might.

447
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 4: In your monitors?

448
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

449
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: In my hey, do you normally use in your mind?

450
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: See there? Yeah, that's there. It's a different I have

451
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: in the past.

452
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: It is, it is, but I have in the past,

453
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: and my boss says, well, we do a lot of

454
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: stuff on camera. We don't watch to have it because

455
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 2: I use from my real job. I use like Bose headphones,

456
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, the quiet comfort headphones. They're there, but they

457
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: have a nice warm sound. They make me sound they

458
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: make my voice sound cooler in my own head anyway,

459
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: And at home I've got open ear headphones. But these

460
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: are in ear and they just don't they don't have

461
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: that warm feeling. They're very crisp, they're very in years.

462
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

463
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 7: The experience with the years have been that, yeah, okay,

464
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 7: and then.

465
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: You don't know any good ones, like any of them

466
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: that I actually want. I think less quality. They're so good,

467
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: Like I can hear the ambient noise in the studio

468
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 2: and it picks everything up and they sound it sounds amazing,

469
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: and I.

470
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: Don't like it.

471
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: That sounds weird, doesn't it. I should want the best reproduction,

472
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: but I just I want a warmer tone.

473
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 4: I guess, just.

474
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 7: Get some earbuds. Then, well that's what these are. Well

475
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 7: in years are different us. Well they're in ear monitors.

476
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it just gets them just some

477
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 7: cheap earbuds and see if.

478
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: That's picture, I would say Yeah, the.

479
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 7: Boys that are meant for music, so it's has an

480
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 7: over over based on them.

481
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, these are like two hundred and fifty dollars.

482
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: And I started talking and I thought, God, my voice

483
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: sounds so knny right now. I didn't like that at all?

484
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: Or is it what it really sounds like? Oh well,

485
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: that's what I'm afraid of. I hate it. I hate

486
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: it so much. All right, what do we have here? Oh? Uh?

487
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: The eating fire victims are wigging out because evidently there's

488
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: still a ton of toxins there and nobody seems to

489
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: be able to get the toxins out.

490
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 5: Many residents say they they do not feel safe to

491
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: go back in their homes, even though remediation efforts have

492
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 5: taken place. In many cases. You can see the signs here.

493
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 5: There was a news conference just a short while ago

494
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 5: that's wrapping up. They're saying clearance before occupancy. I want

495
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 5: to bring in Dawn Fanning talk to me about what

496
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 5: this messages.

497
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, so Clarence before occupancy means that there needs to

498
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 9: be a strict process of remediation, post remediation testing, and

499
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 9: then achieve clearance status before homeowners can move back in.

500
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: That seems like a lot.

501
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 5: You're with the advocacy group Eaten Fire Residents United. This

502
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 5: is a coalition of residents who have been impacted.

503
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: By this fire.

504
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 5: How many people are you representing at this point?

505
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: At Okay, she's just gonna end this, ladies. Yeah, so,

506
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 2: I guess there's toxic. When they say toxins, they're talking

507
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: lead and arsenic.

508
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 4: Oh, those seem like unhealthy things that they're still finding there.

509
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: Communities want accountability, they want new testing, they want stronger oversight.

510
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: In the meantime, survivors of the wildfires want the insurance Commissioner,

511
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: Ricardo Lara to step down. They say he's a failure.

512
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Families are saying that the insurers haven't paid out claim

513
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: and they are unable to rebuild. And even if they

514
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: could rebuild, they can't because there's a sign up that

515
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: says not cleared for rebuilding.

516
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: I want no absolute.

517
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: Mass and a number of people still like living in

518
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: temporary housing while they try to figure out what the.

519
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 4: Hell's going on.

520
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: I thought California supposed to be this nanny state that

521
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: took care of everybody.

522
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: We are failing at that. I mean, if this were Texas,

523
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: you go.

524
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: Well, it's Texas, you're gonna have to pull up your

525
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: bootstraps poop poo poo, and we go, well, that's Texas.

526
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 4: You know they ain't gonna help you. You're gonna have

527
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: to lean on the church to do it.

528
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: And at California, we go, well, you know what, the

529
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: state's gonna take care of this. No, the state's an

530
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: absolute cluster.

531
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

532
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 2: I feel like today's show and I mean, look at

533
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: the self evaluation.

534
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: I'm trying to be self aware here.

535
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: I feel like today's show is me just bitching about

536
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff without any solutions, and.

537
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 4: I hate that.

538
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: How about, uh, hey, California, pull your head out of

539
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 2: your butt. How about hey, politicians in Washington, pull your

540
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: heads out of your butt. Perhaps if we had widespread

541
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: free hell, I'd even throw in on it politicians centered

542
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: cradle wrecked electomies. Then I think maybe things would be

543
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: a whole lot better for everybody. That's medical advice, and

544
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: I'm happy to give it out. That's what they all need.

545
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm prescribing against every politician cradle wrecked electomy.

546
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: You're welcome.

547
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we're trying to figure out who we want to

548
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: be the next governor of the state. And we don't

549
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: have any candidates that are standing out right now, and

550
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: any candidate that was doing well has a meltdown on

551
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: TV and starts yelling at reporters there's new poll numbers.

552
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: But I did something even more important than looking at

553
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: poll numbers, because as we all know, polster suck. I

554
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: went to exactly who knows who the next governor is

555
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: going to be? And you're gonna find out who that

556
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: is next.

557
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: Chris Marrier, you're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.

558
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: What do we have? Oh? Yes, I told you. I

559
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: was going to tell you that this is this trips

560
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: me out here because we have I should not have

561
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: had pizza before the show.

562
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: We have.

563
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: We have all kinds of up in the airs about

564
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: who's going to be elected for governor. And look, we're

565
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: a long way away from the final rates. A lot

566
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: of things can happen. I mean, Katie Porter could yell

567
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: at six more reporters and inbrate twelve more staffers between

568
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: now and election day, so that could happen. According to

569
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: UC Berkeley, La Times Pool, there is no clear front

570
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: front runner in the upcoming race. Chad Bianco leads at

571
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: thirteen percent. Katie Porter dropped to eleven percent. She had

572
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: seventeen percent to support in August. Nearly half of voters

573
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: remain undecided. However, I'm really interested in something else, and

574
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: it's a name that was not on the on the

575
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: list from the LA Time. So the LA Time says,

576
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: here's who's leading is Chad Bianco.

577
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: He took it.

578
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: He actually benefited a lot from Katie Porter's public meltdown.

579
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: Katie Porter dropping quite a few points. But remember Bianco

580
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: only is showing and he's a Republican too. He's only

581
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: showing thirteen percent, and we're still California.

582
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: So let's let's let's keep.

583
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 2: In mind that we're a long way away and we're

584
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: still California. Jabier Basera has he's gone down to eight percent.

585
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: He was at nine, so that's roughly the same. Steve

586
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Hilton is up from six to eight percent. That's the

587
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: latest that they've got. Okay, so Republican candidates are picking

588
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: up some spots. Democrats are dropping slightly. But I don't

589
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: trust these poles. I don't trust him at all, because

590
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: the polls are too easy to just to jack around with.

591
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: The polls are too easy for somebody to go, well,

592
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: you know, here's how I feel today, and that's not

593
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 2: good enough for me. You got to go where people

594
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: are willing to put a little steak in the game.

595
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: Pollsters call and there's no steak in the game. They're

596
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: answering that.

597
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

598
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: When you get to the ballot box, that's when you

599
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: got steak in the game, right, That's when that's when

600
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: your vote really matters and you think about not just

601
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: what would I like, but what is this actually.

602
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: Going to mean today to me? Right?

603
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 2: That's when that's when you, as a voter have skin

604
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: in the game. When you're taking polls, and honestly, these

605
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: polls are always like what like a thousand people or something, right,

606
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: and they go, oh, from the poll and there's a

607
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: marginal bear of eighty two points and blah blah blah.

608
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: So forget all that stuff.

609
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: There's a new person who's not even in the polling

610
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: right now, who's actually leading in the betting markets.

611
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 4: Who do you suppose when I.

612
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: Take it to guesses, but I want to guess, I

613
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: was gonna tell you I thought we needed a novel

614
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: decandidate of sometime, like an actor or some kind like

615
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: an actor or a wrestler or a porn star. Something

616
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: fair to ask that because California, Oh.

617
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: Girl, could it be a wrestler? No?

618
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: No, However, it's it's fair for you guys to make

619
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: that assumption because.

620
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: You know Schwarzenegger.

621
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: And then when Schwartzenegger won, he ran against Mary Carey,

622
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: who was a porn star. And also we've got a

623
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: president right now who had a non disclosure with a

624
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: porn star.

625
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 4: So it makes perfect sense that America would lean that way.

626
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: But the Calchy market, who will be the next governor

627
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: of California. It's the name none of you guys mentioned.

628
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: It's a legitimate politician though legit it's Eric Swalwell.

629
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

630
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: So right now he is leading. According to kel she

631
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: has a twenty eight percent chance of winning. They've got

632
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: Rick Caruso at twenty one percent and Katie Porter at

633
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty percent. She keeps dropping. In fact, earlier when I

634
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: checked this, Katie Porter was ahead of Rick Cruso. Now

635
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: she's below him. So I thought that was really interesting

636
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: that Eric Swalwell's name has been put out there.

637
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: And this is where you can put some mone at Kelsey.

638
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: You can, you know, you can do all this bedding

639
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: and whatever else. So I thought that was fascinating that

640
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: those three people anyway, are you know or who they're showing?

641
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: But they've got Eric Swalwell ahead.

642
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: He seems young to me, but he's forty four. Well

643
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: he looks good for his age.

644
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh god, he does.

645
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 8: I'm looking at the picture.

646
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: I couldn't even say, hey, do you want to be

647
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: my room mate?

648
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 8: When his parents involved in a little bit of a.

649
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: Where are you going there? There was some where are

650
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: you going here?

651
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 8: There was there was a sex scandal with his mother

652
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 8: and father wasn't there.

653
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: I'm not making this up.

654
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 8: Don't don't shoot the messenger.

655
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.

656
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: You do your dirty sex scandal research or just pull

657
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: from your own archives.

658
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 4: And uh and get back to us. Let us know.

659
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 4: If you're right, I will do that for you, all right,

660
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: appreciate that, Mark? Will you just will you just get

661
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: her under control?

662
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: Time for an ice bath? You need to treat her

663
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: like a kitten on the counter? Down, girl, Yeah, put

664
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: put tinfoil on the counter. Yeah, good plan. It's fun

665
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: to watch them jump.

666
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: Half of voters are still undecided, though, so anything that

667
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: you're hearing right now is way too early. I do

668
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: think it's interesting I have Swallow's name tossed out and

669
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: actually doing well on the betting market, because I think

670
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: the betting market is where people have a little bit

671
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: of skate, that little little skin in the game, little

672
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: little they've got some steaks. Steaks matter, all right. It

673
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: starts with fewer departures. It doesn't end there. There's a

674
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: ripple effect that could touch your wallet, hitch, your calendar,

675
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: and your hometown airport, including and I know Burbank and

00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,160
