So uh to be perfectly frank, 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: I have I have a little flight coming up here 35 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: at the end of the month, and normally pretty easy. 36 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: I just I fly into Chicago and then I go up. 37 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 3: My My wife is at our place in northern Michigan, 38 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 3: and I'm really looking forward to so i'ere to spend 39 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: the last week of the month with her and do 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 3: some stuff around the house and that sort of thing. 41 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: So I'm a little nervous. 42 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: Though that the that the shutdown is going to affect 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: air travel. I know already has or than you know, 44 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: air traffic controllers that have called out there. Obviously, Burbank 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: was the first airport that that basically shut down for 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: an evening because they didn't have air traffic controllers. And 47 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: and I saw Austin did it this week. That worries me. 48 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: And then of course he got TSA, and they're you know, 49 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: they're not getting paid, and so how much do they 50 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: want to. 51 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: Go to work. 52 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 3: They're probably thinking, well, I could just call in sick 53 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: and then drive uber all day long. At least I 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: get a paycheck so I can try to pay some 55 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 3: of my bills. And if I call in sick, I 56 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 3: can use my sick time and I'm gonna get my 57 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: back pay eventually. 58 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: Right. 59 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: So, I'm a little nervous about those lines getting longer 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: and longer. And then I'm a little nervous that while 61 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: I'm standing in line, I'm gonna start becoming very angry 62 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: because one thing I do not want while I'm standing 63 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: in line ising doctrination. I do not want to be 64 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: preached to while I'm standing in line of the airport 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: on government sponsored in doctrination tapes, which is exactly what 66 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: Christi is doing. She wants to make sure you're seeing 67 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: her message about the shutdown. Let me tell you something, 68 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: Christy Nome means no from NBCLA, the. 69 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 5: Effort to blame Democrats for the shutdown apparent, and a 70 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 5: new video from Homeland Security Secretary Christi Nome, which DHS 71 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 5: has asked airports to show on monitors at TSA checkpoints. 72 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and 73 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 3: because of this, many of our operations are impacted. 74 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 5: Scores of airports have refused to run the video, among 75 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: them Lax and Burbank, Orange County is considering the request. 76 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 5: All report they have a policy against running videos with 77 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 5: a political. 78 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: Message as well. 79 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: They should there should not be in doctrination at the airport, 80 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: for Pete's sake. Conservatives threw such a hissy fit because 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: many airports had CNN on at the gates, and they went, oh, 82 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: everywhere I go, there's CNN, and I don't want to 83 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: watch the Clinton News Network. And so airports stopped carrying 84 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: CNN on the monitor on the TVs at the gates, 85 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: and now many places you don't have any TV. So 86 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: I hope you're happy you get nothing. I don't like 87 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: the idea of again, my tax dollar is going toward 88 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: a politician who's going to use their power to try 89 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: to force their message down my throat. Now, let me 90 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: be clear, and a lot of you are going to 91 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: you're not gonna like what I have to say about this, but. 92 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: This is where I stand. 93 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: The polling numbers show that the majority of Americans blame 94 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 3: both sides of Congress, and they blame the President and 95 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 3: the Republican Party more than they blame the Democrats. I, however, 96 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: I blame the Democrats on this. The government shutdown is 97 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: because the Democrats are not signing onto a bill that 98 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: has enough votes to pass, and the Republicans have control 99 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: of the House and the Senate. They've put continuing resolutions forward. 100 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: Democrats are the ones who are stopping it from advancing. Now, 101 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: they may be on principled ground, but if we're talking 102 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 3: about who is stopping the bill from being. 103 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: Passed, it's the Democrats. 104 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 3: Now, the Democrats have proposed their own that doesn't go 105 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: anywhere either, But the Republicans have control of the House 106 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: and the Senate. 107 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: They have control of the purse strings. 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: Right now, the Democrats are using their position to try 109 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: to negotiate to not have Medicare cutoff. Right, we'll talk 110 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: more about this here in just a few moments. The 111 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: Republicans don't have this bill, they go, we just have 112 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: to pass this. That said, I don't even care if 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: what Christy Knoam is saying. I have a general agreement 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: with the I think the Democrats are responsible for this 115 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: government shutdown. I blame the majority of the Democrats. Excuse me, 116 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 3: I put the majority of the blame on the Democrats. 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: I also think it takes two to tango, so Republicans 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: are not without culpability, But as far as not signing on, 119 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: it's the Democrats just from a procedural standpoint. But Christy 120 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: Nome using her position to try to force this down 121 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: my throat while I'm standing in line and having my 122 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: toes tickled with my shoes off is not okay. And 123 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 3: keep this in mind, because this is really what it's about. 124 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 3: It's not even about getting their message out to you 125 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: and me as we're standing in line at the TSA. 126 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: It's not even about you and me. 127 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: The people most directly affected by the shutdown at the 128 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: airport are the TSA agents, and they're the ones that 129 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: have to sit and hear that message on a NonStop loop. 130 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: It is classic brainwashing technique. Captive audience. Keep repeating the message, 131 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: the reason you're suffering is because of them. The reason 132 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: you're suffering is because of them. The reason you're suffering 133 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 3: is because of them, over and over and over and 134 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: over again, for eight hours at a job you're not 135 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: even getting paid for. 136 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: That's what this is about. 137 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: This is about making sure that TSA agents snap in line, 138 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 3: that they don't call out sick, that they don't take 139 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: their misery out on the Republican politicians. 140 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: That's what this is about. 141 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: Sure you and I hearing that message where we otherwise 142 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: might not hear the propaganda. That's a nice little added benefit, 143 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: But it's all about making sure those people hear the 144 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: message blaming the Democrats. 145 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: And in the message there. 146 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 3: Are TSA workers that are being featured and then shown 147 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: working unpaid. 148 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: So there you go. 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: Now, look, I'm a little bit concerned because I don't 150 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: want to miss my flight. I want to get home. 151 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: I want to go spend a week with my wife. 152 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: We call it sexy time, and I'm going to miss 153 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: out on that if we have too many TSA agents 154 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: calling in sick and if we're at again, my flight's 155 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: coming up here in ten more days. How many days 156 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: are we into this shutdown mark at We're in the 157 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: third week now, right, yeah? Fourteen ishka, I'll have to check. 158 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: And by the way, can I add. 159 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 6: Just oh, it's like the first of the month, so 160 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 6: we're at fifteen days. It was the first of the month. 161 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 6: There's one minor detail you may want to know. 162 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: I knew you were going to take Umbridge with my 163 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: position ahead. 164 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 6: It's not Umbridge. It's just we strive for clarity. The 165 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 6: messages from NOME are against the law. Do yourself favor 166 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 6: and look up something called the Hatch Act. 167 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I knew where you were going. 168 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, federal law that prohibits people in government from engaging 169 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 6: in political activity on the clock. 170 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 171 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: I didn't say anything contradictory to what you just added. 172 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: That's fine, you can add that. That's great. But since 173 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 3: when has the Hatch Act stopped anybody from doing anything? 174 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 6: That's not really the rationale I would whip out. 175 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: Okay, but when does the Hatch Act get used? When 176 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: has the Hatch Act been used? It doesn't, It doesn't 177 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: get used. 178 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, we haven't seen a ton of Hatch Act prosecutions 179 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 6: in recent history. No, but it's been on the book 180 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 6: since the late thirties, and it's the law of the land, 181 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 6: whether you like it or observe it or not. 182 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: But if a law is not enforced, is it really 183 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: a law. Well, that's what we have to contend with, 184 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: right now, right and You've got an administration that says, 185 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: stop me. You say it's the law. We say, we 186 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: don't care, stop me, go ahead and enforce it. Who's 187 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: going to enforce the Hatch Act. Who's going to arrest 188 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: dhs or fine give a civil fine to the federal 189 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: government for violating their own law. The Republican House, the 190 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 3: Republican Senate, the Republican administration. No one is going to 191 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: enforce it. So it doesn't even matter. That's the practicality 192 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: of it. I agree with you philosophically, but we're not 193 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: even in a philosophical or what's right world. We're in 194 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: what can I get away with? 195 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: World? 196 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: But that's what's happening. That's exactly what's happening, and it 197 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: frustrates me. It shouldn't be happening. We should hold ourselves 198 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 3: to that standard, but we keep lowering the bar more 199 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 3: and more and more and more. So you got the 200 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: lights are off, the doors are locked, and the people 201 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: in charge are arguing over something nobody really knows what. 202 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: But hey, at least the drama is free. We got 203 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: that we can watch. 204 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: You want to watch something on TV, just flip on 205 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 3: Congress arguing how you're about to be affected is next. 206 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: I'm Chris Merrill. 207 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand Chris. 208 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: Merrill listen to anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app. 209 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: If you missed any portion of the show, you definitely 210 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: want to check out the podcast. It'll be on the 211 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: featured Segments portion of the KFI AM six forty dot com. 212 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how I get get on 213 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: without it. 214 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 3: You'd probably want to go bookmark that right now so 215 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: you catch everything, you know. 216 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 2: I was talking about the the video that Christy Nolan 217 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: wants played at the airport. 218 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: And I always get pushed back when I when I 219 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 3: take a stance on something political, which is part of 220 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: the reason I don't really talk about political stuff very 221 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: much because I find you and I have a lot 222 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: more in common than we do. It separates us, but 223 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,119 Speaker 3: when it comes to politics, we just we just completely 224 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: disregard all of our common ground and we just get 225 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: angry at the other person. So I don't really want 226 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: to I don't want I don't want you to be 227 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 3: pissed at me, right, So I don't talk about it 228 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 3: a whole lot. But it is a big deal. It 229 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: is a big topic. So I want you to think 230 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 3: about this. I have a problem with Christy Nolan playing 231 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: with her tape blaming the Democrats playing at the airports, that's. 232 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: What they want to do. 233 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: Lax says no, Hollywood Birbanks says no, but some airports 234 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: are playing the video. 235 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: I have a problem with that, even though I agree. 236 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: That that it is the Democratic Party that is standing 237 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: in the way of getting a budget passed. Right now, 238 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: I do say it takes two to tango, but I 239 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: put I put a heavier blame on the Democrats. So 240 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: I actually agree with some of what she's saying. I 241 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: don't believe that it belongs at the airport, and. 242 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: I don't think you do. Even if you agree with her. 243 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: Even if right. 244 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 3: Now you say, oh no it does, no, no, it's 245 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: a good thing, I don't think you do. 246 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: So let's try a little exercise. 247 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 3: Suppose that Governor Batman Gavin Newsom, the real life Bruce Wayne, 248 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: were to do the same thing. Suppose that Governor Batman 249 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 3: were to say at LAX San Diego, San Francisco, all 250 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: the big airports came on and said, uh, we're glad 251 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 3: you're flying out of the beautiful state of California or 252 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: welcome to the beautiful state of California, depending on you 253 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 3: know where it is. We're sorry that you're experiencing delays 254 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 3: based on TSA staffing. This is because of the Republicans. 255 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: You would go, How dare he? Gavin Newsom shouldn't be 256 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 3: using taxpayer dollars to cut any sort of an indoctrination 257 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: video that I have to play. I can't avoid it. 258 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: If I want to travel through this major airport. I 259 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: have to see his dumb mug telling me that I 260 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: should think like him. Politically, you'd go, California has lost 261 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: its marbles. And so even if you are hardcore MAGA 262 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: and you agree completely, I don't think you actually want 263 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: that video plane. And if you think that when the 264 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: Democrats take back control that they are somehow going to 265 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: be magnanimous and say, wow, that behavior is just unbecoming 266 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: of an American, you are dead wrong. They're taking notes 267 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 3: right now. And when you've got President AOC, because we 268 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: are pushing people to the fringes. When President AOC comes around, 269 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 3: you watch what she does. You watch how she decorates 270 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: the White House. She's gonna take all that gold crap 271 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: out of there. You watch which tree she teares down 272 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: on the White House, and all of a sudden're gonna, 273 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: how dare she? You watch what video she wants running 274 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: at the airports and you're, oh, good she that's a 275 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: violation of the Hatch Act. And then here say, why 276 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: isn't anyone enforcing the Hatch Act. Just remember what's good 277 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: for the goose, it's good for the gander. Shut down, 278 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 3: continue on for how long? Mike Johnson says, forever. Both 279 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: sides have dug in their heels the longest time. About 280 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, the Republicans complained. They said, they said, 281 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: the Democrats don't compromise. They're very well organized, they've got 282 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: their messaging down, and we are compromising too often, and 283 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: because of that, we always lose. And so the Republicans said, 284 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 3: that's it. We are going to elect strong leaders who 285 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: don't compromise, that stand up, that fight. Compromise became a 286 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: dirty word on the right. Well you're seeing what's happening 287 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: on the left again. Because it's not like you've got 288 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: one party. This can be magnanimous and then let the other. 289 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: One roll all over them. So now the. 290 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: Republicans say compromise is a dirty word. The Democrats are 291 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: now saying compromise is a dirty word, and since neither 292 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: side is willing to compromise, it's just a lot of 293 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: dirty words. 294 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 5: Now entering week three, and the federal shutdown vice is 295 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 5: tightening in it's script, the nation's airports flag delays are 296 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 5: expected to increase, with air traffic controllers now working without pay. 297 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: How long can they work without pay? How long can 298 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: you go without getting a paycheck? When a quarter of 299 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: this country is paycheck to paycheck? 300 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: Oh, it's more than a quarter. 301 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 6: Half the country is paycheck to paycheck at least sixty 302 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 6: percent by the last information I read. 303 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: So how long? How long can you go? How long 304 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: could you go? 305 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 6: Well? 306 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: I got my wife. Now if we both want with check, 307 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: that changes everything? Yeah, well it does. 308 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: Because one thing. Look, we we wint a debt a 309 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 3: few years back. We were in a lot of debt 310 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: and we buckled down, and I, you know, I got 311 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: I got blown out from you know, a couple of 312 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: gigs because radio. Yeah, my wife makes good money. I 313 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: make okay money. And so we decided that we wanted 314 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: to try to We're not exactly there right now, but 315 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: we want to try to live a lifestyle that either 316 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: one of our paychecks could support. 317 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 6: So if I can draw a lesson from what you're saying, 318 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 6: it's that air traffic controllers should all get sugar mamas. 319 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's everybody's lesson. Okay, huh, how else should you 320 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: take it? Exactly what I'm saying? 321 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so that's anyway, that's what because we because 322 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: we learned our lesson the hard way, okay, uh, And 323 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: we were you know, I was racking up credit cards 324 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 3: because I was using that as my emergency fund because 325 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: I didn't have one. 326 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: So now we've got an emergency fund. 327 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: Now we try to live so that if either one 328 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: of us lost our gig, we would be we would 329 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: be able to get by, right, still have to cut back, 330 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: but we get we can get by. 331 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: So that's where we are right now. But how many 332 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: people do that? 333 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: And it's only after I that we've made mistakes and 334 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: I lost radio gigs that all of a sudden we went, oh, 335 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: we're in dire straits. 336 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: So how long can tsa. 337 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: Not not to get paid and keep working? Now, air 338 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: traffic controllers, they make pretty good money.

So I got a 348 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: feeling that they are working at the airport for free 349 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 3: during the day because they want to maintain the job, 350 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 3: because they want all that backpay. 351 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: When it finally hits, it's gonna be a massive check. 352 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 3: You're gonna see a litle you're gonna see a little 353 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: bump and consumer spending around the holidays when everybody gets 354 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: all their checks all at once. But in the meantime, 355 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 3: I'm guessing they get out of work and then they 356 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: go turn on their uber sign or their their lift 357 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 3: light on their car, or they're door dashing or something, 358 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: or they're only fans. 359 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, work in the poll.

Sticks. 421 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 7: Do you know what percent of gen Z workers claim 422 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 7: they experience burnout at work? 423 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 2: I get scheduled for twenty five hours a week. I'm 424 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 2: literally about to cut. 425 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 7: Not twenty percent, not forty percent, not eighty percent, not 426 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 7: ninety percent. Ninety eight percent of you experience burn up 427 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 7: every single day. 428 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: Go and work somewhere and do that five times a week. 429 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: How oh, okay, all right, his numbers are off, but 430 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 2: go ahead. 431 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 7: You're in your early twenties, watch this, twenty three percent 432 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 7: face unmanageable stress and forty eight percent fuel drained. According 433 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 7: to a Signal survey, gen Z is the most stressed 434 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 7: generation of all kind. 435 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: All right, so our reporter here, if you want to 436 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: call it that, it's just some rando on the internets. 437 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 2: It feels like he's punching down. And I say that 438 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: because we are. 439 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: We are discounting what gen Z is going through, and 440 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: we're like, how dare they as if we don't remember 441 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 3: our first foray into the quote unquote real world. Look, 442 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 3: we all went through that. It comes with age. It's 443 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 3: why we have coming of age stories. Everyone is finding 444 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 3: their way. The real world hits you hard. It's been 445 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: a it's been a theme for years. The real world 446 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: hits you hard. And the older generations always complained that 447 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: the younger generations don't want to work, which of course 448 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: is a gross generalization. I work with a number of 449 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: gen Zers who are really good. They are immensely good 450 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: at their jobs. They're very hard workers, not all of them, 451 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 3: and you can find some dopes. So it's person to person. 452 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: But the same story about the youngest working generation being 453 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: burned out could have been written for every generation. It 454 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: is no coincidence that the generation with the second highest 455 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: burnout rate is the Millennials. The next youngest gen Z 456 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: seventy four percent say that they are burned out. 457 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: Sixty six percent of millennials say that they're burned out. Well, 458 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 2: how could you be that way? How could it be? 459 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: Look, you're in school, you go to school, You go 460 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 3: to school every day, five days a week. Then you 461 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 3: get to June and you're dismissed, and all of a sudden, 462 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: first grade's over. Then you're on to second grade, and 463 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: you know what's gonna happen. You're gonna go to school 464 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: five days a week. You know that you're gonna have 465 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: your Thanksgiving break, you know you're gonna have your winter break, 466 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 3: you're gonna have your Spring break, and then you're gonna 467 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: you're gonna get to to June and then boom, you're out, 468 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: and then it starts all over. You're out of second grade, 469 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: and it starts all over again. And then you get 470 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 3: into high school and you already know you're supposed to 471 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 3: you're supposed to continue on trade school, college, community college, 472 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 3: whatever it is. You know what that path is. And 473 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 3: then you go to college and you're in college and 474 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: you go, I'm majoring in this, and you go, I 475 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: have to have this class in this class, and this 476 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 3: classes and all laid out, and you know you're gonna 477 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 3: take your one hundred courses and your two hundred course 478 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 3: and you're three hundred courses and your four under courses, 479 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 3: and you know what your your workload is gonna be. 480 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: And everything is mapped out, and then you graduate, and 481 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 3: then nothing is mapped out. There is no light at 482 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel. When you start first grade, 483 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 3: you know that by the end of June, you are 484 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: done with first grade. When you start seventh grade, you 485 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 3: know that by the end of June, you're done with 486 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 3: seventh grade. You know that when you start your freshman 487 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: year in four years, you're done with high school. 488 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: You've got a diploma. 489 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 3: You know. When you start college, four years feels like 490 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: a long time. But when you're done, you've accomplished it, 491 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: You've hit your goal, and then you're done with it, 492 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 3: and no one is telling you what your next goal is. 493 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: No one is setting that path forward. There is no 494 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: guidance counselor, and then you're walking into an entry level 495 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 3: position and you're doing grunt work. Even if you've got 496 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: the degree in the field that you want to be in, 497 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 3: chances are you're not starting out as the CEO. 498 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: Chances are you're not. 499 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: Getting your country club benefit package. You're busting your tail. 500 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's stressful, that's daunting, and it can lead 501 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: to burnout. And let's also keep in mind too that 502 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: this is a generation that was born in the recession 503 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 3: or right before the recess. Man some were born in 504 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: the recession, some were born right before it. So in 505 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 3: their formative years, we're going through a very difficult period. 506 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 3: Then they get into high school or college, and then 507 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 3: we get here with the pandemic, and then you're work 508 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: from home and everything is disrupted and we don't even 509 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: I know that for Pete Saint, they're doing school on 510 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: Zoom and now they hit the workforce and they're supposed 511 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 3: to go in they're supposed to know people, they're supposed 512 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 3: to be social, but they didn't have the social skills 513 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 3: talked to them along the way. They didn't have the 514 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: chance to make those mistakes in high school, to say 515 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: stupid things to the girl. 516 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 2: To embarrass themselves. You know. 517 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: At the I don't know, do people go to drive 518 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 3: ins or whatever, drive throughs or whatever anymore. You know, 519 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: they didn't have those chances to make mistakes and learn 520 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 3: because they were isolated. And now they're in the workforce, 521 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: and we expect them to be completely socially adapted, to 522 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: have the work ethic of a World War Two soldier 523 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 3: returning from home. They don't, and they won't, and neither 524 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 3: did the millennials, and neither did my gen xers. And 525 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 3: we were all called lazy. We were all told that 526 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 3: we didn't know how to do anything, and we were 527 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 3: all told that the future of America is in dire 528 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: straits because this generation sucks. Well, now the future of 529 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 3: America's in the hands of the baby boomers. 530 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: Are you happy with the way things are going? 531 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 3: Survey says more people are unhappy with the direction of 532 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: this country than gen zs are feeling burned out, So 533 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 3: maybe just chill, Maybe stop punching down, And in fact, 534 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: that punching down is permeating, not just with gen Z's 535 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 3: feeling burned out. 536 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: I want you to do a little exercise. 537 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 3: I want you to think about your office or your 538 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: your job site or wherever you go. I don't know 539 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: what you do for a living. I mean, how can 540 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: I possibly know what one of you do for a living? 541 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: I have no idea, but I know that everyone listening 542 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 3: comes from a variety of backgrounds. So I want you 543 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 3: to think about where you work, and I want you 544 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: to think about who in your office or your job site, 545 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: or your place, whatever it is, who is expendable. If 546 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: the boss came to you and said I gotta fire 547 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: three people, who do you recommend? Chances are at least 548 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 3: two of those three people that you picked have something 549 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: in common, and that commonality could say more about your 550 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: unconscious bias than it actually does about their ability. I'll 551 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 3: tell you who stays and who goes. That's next. I'm 552 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 3: Chris Maryland. 553 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand. 554 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: Earlier tonight, Tim Conway Junior asked her own Mark Ronner 555 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 3: if he wanted to hang out at Morongo and Mark 556 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 3: was like eah, And I was like, pick me, pick me. 557 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: You're not going to let that go, are you? No? 558 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm not, okay, I'm. 559 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: Not because, uh, Tim's the guy that he walks in 560 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: and I get all nervo him, Like Tim's here, I 561 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: still get starstruck. 562 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: Is that weird? I'm by radio people. 563 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: I don't get starstruck by like most celebrities what I 564 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 3: do with radio people. 565 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 6: Okay, well we all have our quirks. Yeah, I'm sure 566 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 6: I've got my own plenty of them. You have lots 567 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 6: of quirks. Oh yeah, I wouldn't waste anybody's time disputing that. 568 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 3: In fact, first time that I was at the station, 569 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 3: I filled in. I think I was in Forgarian Shannon 570 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: and not even been before their time. But uh, I 571 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: was prepping with Oscar actually, who's now our our apd 572 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 3: our assistant program director. He was producing at the time, 573 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: and and I remember Bill Handle was on a break 574 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: and he came back. I was just wandering around, which 575 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: is what we do when we're you know, when when 576 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 3: you're on a commercial break, you go stretch your legs, right. 577 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 3: So he comes wandering back and he starts starts talking 578 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: to me, and just byessing a little bit, And in 579 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 3: my mind, I'm going, Bill Handle's talking to me, don't 580 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 3: screw this up. Bill Handles talking, I was like a 581 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 3: high school kid who was talking to his crush, just like, 582 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: don't say anything stupid, don't don't don't say anything stupid. 583 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 6: I think the first time Bill Handle spoke to me, 584 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 6: he said something along the lines of you'll be gone 585 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 6: in a week. 586 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: So on Brand, I guess it was. I didn't know 587 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: at the time, so on Brand. 588 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 3: I guess that's actually an issue right now for a 589 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: lot of gen zs. I was just talking about how 590 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: they're feeling burnout, and really they're being They're the generation 591 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: that is now getting thrust into the real world, and 592 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: they'll find their way, just like every generation before them 593 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: has found their way and we get by. They've had 594 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: some unique challenges with the pandemic, with the. 595 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 2: You know, a lot of school from home that kind 596 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: of thing. 597 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: Some social skills maybe didn't get learned or social mistakes 598 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: couldn't be made and then learned from because of the pandemic. 599 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: So the look they're learning, they'll be fine. I have 600 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: no problem. 601 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: But it is a learning process and you do have 602 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: to hold people accountable and that's how they learn. 603 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: Which is why there are a number. 604 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 3: Of gen Zers learning the hard way that they're gonna 605 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: have to bring a little bit better attitude to work. 606 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: Sixty percent of employers now say that they have fired 607 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: gen Z hires just months after onboarding. In other words, 608 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: you hired them, they get here, and then you can them. 609 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 3: This is from random Innernega. 610 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 8: So it turns out if gen zs are getting fired 611 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 8: from their very first jobs within thirty days very quickly, 612 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 8: is because they don't have technical skill or maybe it's 613 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 8: something else what they're missing. 614 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 9: Well, what it comes down to is that they don't 615 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 9: know how to conduct themselves professionally in the workplace. Here's 616 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 9: the first tip when you go into any job, which 617 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 9: you should try to do, is you try to make 618 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 9: yourself super useful. You want to be the person that 619 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 9: makes everybody's lives around them easier. Now, the problem John 620 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 9: the gen Zers have is that they feel entitled. 621 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 2: It's not going to help you. 622 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And the thing is that we want to say, 623 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 3: gen Z, this is your fault, and I don't know 624 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 3: that it's gen Z's fault. I think that we have 625 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: to put some of the blame on prior generations. I 626 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 3: think that gen Z has been coddled more than previous generations. 627 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: I think that our parents oftentimes, and I'm speaking for 628 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 3: the old parts, our parents were more of a shove 629 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: the burn out of the nest, see if they can 630 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 3: fly kind It was sink or swim right, and the 631 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 3: boss didn't really take mercy on you, and we got 632 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 3: screened at am Am. I Mark, you must have been 633 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 3: yelled at. You've said a lot of dumb things in 634 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: your life. You must have had somebody that really came 635 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 3: down hard on you at some point. 636 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 6: I have kind of a brain rabbit complex and I 637 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 6: would not advise anyone to yell at me. 638 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: Okay, so somebody probably learned the hard way not to 639 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: yell at to Mark Ronnert. But I mean, here's the deal. 640 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 6: When we talk about this stuff, a portion of it 641 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 6: rings true, but a portion also makes me think, hasn't 642 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 6: every generation said this about the next one? 643 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 3: Yes, but I think gen Z is a little bit 644 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 3: different because as previous generations, and let's be honest, we 645 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 3: haven't had we haven't had the draft since the seventies. 646 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 3: So min Gen gen xers we didn't deal with We 647 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 3: didn't deal with the hardships of my god, you're here today, 648 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 3: shipped out tomorrow and may never come back. 649 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 2: We didn't have to deal with that. 650 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: And I and uh, I mean best case scenario, you go, well, 651 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 3: you know people that had did for a RACK or 652 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 3: in the nineties or Afghanistan or something of that sort. 653 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't have a generational boot camp basically 654 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 3: right where you had, you had an entire generation of 655 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 3: people that were drafted, and it's like boots on the 656 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 3: ground right, you hit the ground running. 657 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 6: Now, you and I are both gen X, and we're 658 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 6: from the generation where if you saw somebody with a 659 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 6: tattoo and you asked them about it, you ran a 660 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 6: pretty decent risk of getting your ass kicked. 661 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and it was sink or swim. We learned 662 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: a lot of things the hard way, but we didn't 663 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 3: want our kids. We wanted we wanted to lead with 664 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 3: love for our kids, and we didn't want for our 665 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 3: kids to experience like the tough love that maybe our 666 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 3: parents gave us. It's why a lot of us and 667 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: Gen X have complicated relationships with our fathers. 668 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 6: That's the pendulum. It swings too far one way, then 669 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 6: too far another absolute mark. 670 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 3: You are again, smartest man on the show. There's two 671 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 3: here is the smartest all the three of them. Store. 672 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 3: That's just how smart you are. You've somehow taken four 673 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 3: people and gotten the job done with three. 674 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 2: Well done. I'm in the top quartile of four of 675 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: us here. Well done. 676 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: But instead of saying, well, gen Z, they just don't 677 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 3: know the gen Z didn't do the gen Z didn't 678 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: do that. I think we have to take a look 679 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 3: and go, how do we as parents do things? Because now, 680 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 3: and we also we took power away from a lot 681 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 3: of teachers. We had a lot of abuse that would 682 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 3: happen in schools, teachers that decided they were gonna they 683 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: were gonna start paddling kids whether they deserved it or not. 684 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: And so we're gonna stop that. Did you get abused 685 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 2: in school? I got whacked one time, fourth grade? Just once? 686 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: Uh yeah. 687 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 3: The teacher I think only paddled three kids that year 688 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 3: and I was in the top quintile. 689 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 6: Well that's that's impressive. Wow, only only once is impressive, 690 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 6: is what I'm saying. If you only got one, yeah 691 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 6: it was public school, you made out, Well, yeah I 692 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 6: did this public school. But I just I just think 693 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 6: that we've raised gen Z's differently, and I think we're 694 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 6: seeing that. And I think that gen Z as they 695 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 6: become parents, they're going to say, I got to make 696 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 6: sure my kid is tough and doesn't have the kind 697 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 6: of adjustment issues getting into the real world that I've had, 698 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 6: and the pendulum will go back the other way. But 699 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 6: I also think that we largely lack the ability to 700 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 6: see things globally like that we lack that understanding big changes, 701 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 6: massive changes to one of your streaming service, I mean massive, 702 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 6: so big there is no way it doesn't change your 703 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,479 Speaker 6: life forever. And I am not, in any way, shape 704 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 6: or form exaggerating probably all of it. 705 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 3: Next, Chris Merrill I AM six forty.
